The topsoil schooner Julius Vogel, from Kaipara, timber laden, arrived here on Saturday. She left there on the 13th Instant, and made a good run to Manaof 32 hours, where the strong southerly gale was met with, which compelled the schooner being hove to 15 hours. Owing to the strong southerly wind which sprung up here on Saturday afternoon the departure of the s.s. Murray was postponed till yesterday morning, when a start was made, but on proceeding outside the wind and sea were found to be too heavy, and she returned to port again. Another start was to be made at 4 y'clock this morning. , Messrs. McMeckan, Blackwood, and Co.'s s.s. Arawata. Captain Underwood, left this port at 8 a.m. on the 17th, and arrived at Nelson at 7.30 p.m.: left again at 9 a.m. on the 18th instant, passed Jackson Head at 1 p.m., and arrived here at 4.25 p.m. same day, after a splendid passage of 7 hours 25 minutes. She sailed for Melbourne via the South, taking the outward Suez mail, at noon yesterday. 1 The s.s. Tui, Captain Bonner, arrived here from Boston yesterday at 11 a.m. She left there at 0 p.m. on Saturday, and crossed the bar at 10.30 p.m. Experienced fresh S.E. wind with a heavy tide rip round Terawlti. She is advertised to sail for Foxton on the 21st instant.

The s.s. Blnemoa arrived here from The Brothers on Saturday forenoon. The ketch Falcon, from Blenheim, arrived here on Saturday. She will be taken up on Coffey and Dixon’s slip to receive new decks and a general overhaul. . , .

The s.s. Kiwi, from the East Coast, arrived in port on Saturday with a full cargo of wool, collected at Blackhead, Pourere, and Castlepoint. The weather on the whole was favorable, with the exception of the southerly wind which was experienced when the vessel was at Castlepoint. The Kiwi went round to the Patent Slip to receive her periodical overhaul. The next of Turnbull and Co.’s chartered vessels to arrive hero from Melbourne will be the barque Suffolk, Captain Yarnall. The schooner Aapasia, bound for the East Coast, left here on Saturday morning. The Union Company’s s.s. Ladybird, Captain Andrew, arrived here from Northern ports at 7 a.m. yesterday. She left the Mannkan at 9 a.m, on the 18tb, and arrived at Taranaki at 8 a.m, next day. sailed in two hours, and reached Nelson at 7 a.m. on the 18th ; left at 10 a.m. same day, and arrived at Plcton at 7 o’clock that night; sailed next morning at 1 o’clock and arrived here as above. Experienced very heavy S.E. wind and sea to Taranaki, thence fine weather. The Ladybird sails South this afternoon. The s,s. Eangatira, Captain Evans, left Napier at 6.45 p.m. on Friday, and arrived alongside the wharf at 10.30 p.m. on Saturday evening. She experienced a N.E. wind as far as the Kidnappers, where it veered round to the westward, and continued so to 1 p.m., when it went to the S.E., and continued till arrival. The s.s. Moa towed the Taranaki ronnd from the Patent Slip on Saturday afternoon. The s.s. Stormblrd and the p.s. Manawatu arrived here from Wanganui last night, the former at 11 o’clock and the latter at 11.45. The Manawatu left Wanganui at 9.40 p. m, on Saturday, with schooner Cora in tow, and the Stormblrd loft there at 10 p.m. Both steamers crossed the bar at 10.50 p.m., and at midnight it began to freshen up from the S.E.. and increased to a bard gale. Both steamers headed for Oliau Bay, where they arrived, the Stormblrd at 1 p.m.. and the Manawatu half on hour after. The latter vessel, had' to come under easy steam, owing to the coal running short, and the bunkers had to bo replenished from some coal kept in the hold. At 7 p.m. the wind had considerably decreased, and the btormbird made another move for this port, arriving here as above. . The Manawatu left there half an hour after her. Both steamers are advertised to sail for Wanganui this afternoon. The schooner Buby left for White Rock on Saturday morning, but ran into -harbor again in the afternoon owing to a southerly wind springing up. - ARRIVAL OF THE HOWRAH. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s good ship Howrah, from London via Nelson, was signalled as at the Heads early on Saturday morning. At 10 a.m, it was notified that the s jt Hinemoa had her in tow, and at : 11.30 a.m. they entered the harbor, the Howrah anchoring in the powder ground. On boarding her-we were welcomed by Captain Greeves, who is so long and favorably known in connection with this ship, and to him we are Indebted for all particulars regarding her, and those nnder his care. The Howrah arrived in Nelson on the 9th Instant, at C p.m., with 290immlgrants on board, all In excellent health, .after a passage of 102 days from Gravesend, and 96 days from land to land. There were two deaths on the voyage, ono a child five months old, who was dying when the ship left Gravesend: and the other a child four days old that died through Inanition. Most of the immigrants were landed at Nelson, only 80 of them being for this port. They are described by the Nelson papers as a fine healthy lot, who spoke highly of the gentlemen who had charge of them during the voyage—Dr. Percy Leo (a gentleman of •onsiderable experience in the management of Immigrants, and who has been to this colony In the samo capacity email times), and the captain and officers.

For our part, judging from the number, we have seen; they appear to bo a very desirable lot of immigrants of the right class, and who will have no difficulty in obtaining employment. . „ , . „ The voyage accomplished by the Howrah to Nelson was uneventful, and is rather over her average runs; but she has made good time of it. considering the unfavorable weather which she experienced. She left Gravesend at 3 p.m. on the 29th July, and had to work down the Channel against light winds. The Channel pilot loft the ship on the 2nd August, and at 8 p.m. on the 6th the Lizards were passed, then variable weather was experienced, with winds which were for the most part ahead, till the first of the N.E. trades were picked up on the 21st, in latitude 32 N., longitude 18 W. They were light and fickle, and gave out in ten days in latitude 12 N., longitude 26 AV. Fine weather with moderate winds were afterwards experienced, till crossing the line on September 11th, when again light winds held sway. Sighted the island of Tristian d’Acuna on the 27th. The S.E. trades were run through and found to be poor and variable, occasionally shifting into the south. Rounded the Cape of Good Hope on the 6th October, and ran the easting down between the parallels of 40 and 44, with the westerly winds, which varied from light breezes to strong gales, and the vessel here made her best running, doing in one day, October 14, 317 miles, and her finest day’s work, 320 miles, on October 25. Passed Tasmania on the 2nd November with a fresh breeze from the south, and thence had strong variable winds till sighting Cape Farewell on the morning of the Bth instant, when a fresh S. E. breeze sprang up and carried the vessel toan anchorage at Nelson next day The following vessels were spoken on the voyage that wished to be reported;— Barque Hopewell, from London, for Sydney, on August 30, In lat. 12deg. 57min. N., long. 26deg. 15min. AV,; barque Loch Cree, from Liverpool to Hongkong, on same date; ship Ballochmeylo, from Liverpool to Calcutta, same date: ship City of Auckland, from London, for Auckland, on September 3, in lat. Sdeg. Imin. N., long. 20deg. 9min. AV.; ship James Livesey, from Liverpool, for Calcutta, on October 2, m lat. 39deg. 31min. S„ long. 9deg. 56min. E.; ship Calypso, from London, for Otago, on October 29, in lat. 44dcg. 67mln. S.. long. 123 deg. 53min. E. After disembarking her immigrants at Nelson, the Howrah sailed for this port on the 14th Inst., with light westerly wind, and came through the Strait as far as Cape Jackson. At 10 a.m. on Wednesday, the 15th, the wind veered to the S.S.E., and all plain sail had to be token in; at noon took in uppertopsail and stowed the . mainsail, but while so doing an apprentice, named P. Moore, foil from the mainyard on to the deck, breaking his leg, knocking four of his teeth out, and severely lacerating his chin, and besides receiving several other injuries. The poor fellow is, up to latest accounts, very low, and fears are entertained for his recovery. At 2 p.m. there was a very heavy S.E. gale blowing, and at 4 o'clock that evening a married woman, named Woodsworth, aged 23, died of consumption, and at 10 o’clock next morning the corpse was buried. All the previous night a terrific gale blew, and in the morning Stephen’s Island bore S. W. by S., distance 23 miles. That afternoon the wind fell to a calm, and at 10.20 on Friday a light N.W. breeze sprung up and brought her to the Heads, where the Hinemoa picked her up and towed her into port. The Howrah brings a large general cargo. The immigrants were landed on Saturday afternoon by the s.s. Moa.
