The Panola, from New York, via Port Chalmers, arrived off, the Heads early on Saturday morning, and with a light wind from the southward came into port,, and dropped anchor in lha stream at 9.30 a.m,* The. Panola was once a gunboat in'the American navy, at the time of the war there,’ and has seen some active service : but when peace settled down over that country, and when the prowling sea-dogs were called in to head quarters,her services were dispensed with, and: she was sold and converted, for the more useful purposes of commerce, into a sailing vessel. Her rig, as the Americans lerm it.is that of a barquentine, but in the strictly correct sense she Is, a three-masted; brigantine*;:a.harqnentine being rigged square on both main ’and Jforemaats, .but do not carry standing courses,; and. spreads .large, trysails. instead. -To look at W ehe is - not very taking to the * eye, her heavy-stem and--flush - decks, and possessing scarcely any sheer, does not render her very attractive,. but In thdse-days when'opposltion is keen, beauty in a vesssel 1s not much sought after, but good carrying capacity, combined with good sailing qualities, and these the Panola Is said topossess.. The Panola comes into port with the-malntopmast struck, that spar having been’sent down owing to the head of the mainmast been sprang shortly after leaving New York; She has made a protracted passage from New York to Port Chalmers of--* 128 days, owing to the unfavorable winds which she experienced nearly the whole of the voyage.. The Panola left New York on June 20, and had light variable' winds tflf July 9th, when she fell in with the north-east trades; they were moderate, and gave out on the 17th -.ithence she had a spell of light variable winds and calms for nine days, and bn the 28th picked up the first pf the sonth-cast trades. She crossed the Equator on July 31, and had the trades well to the southward, just managing to keep clear of the Brazilian coast* sighted the Island! of Trinidad, and lost the trades on August 9; thence the-wind worked right round to E.lffiE., and again round by the westward to the sou(h-ea4t on August 21; on the following day the wind shlftecfto the westward, blowing fresh and holding for several days. She crossed the meridian, of Greenwich a i£ 26th August, and that of the Capo of Good, Hope pn Ist September, seventy-one days out from New tebrk; encountered strong easterly winds off the pitch; of the Cape, which lasted till the 9bh, September, Mid on that day picked up the westerlies,, which held m the 15th, when a bre'ak ensued, which lasted for four days; on the 19th the wind backed t® the.westwari*and blew heavily, attended by fierce squalls and furious sea, the vessel labouring heavily, and shipping Jtnmense quantities of water. >■ Similar weather prev£iled?while running down the eastings between the 43rd and 41th parallels; and on the 25th September she encountered a terrific easterly gale from S.E, to ; N.E, f being hove-to for several hours, andLshipplni s»eas. overall, which’ started-everything" moveable about the decks, and filled the cabin with • water. Somfewbat similar weather prevailed, but more moderate was met with till passing the meridian of, Cape Remain. oiithe 4th October, and thence She ' experienced light variable winds and fine weather ’up ' to the land ; passed the Bnafes oh the 21st October, and had light Jalra and cairns along the coast to arrival in Port Chalmers, on the 27th October. She landed »; there about (&5 tons measurement cargo, and sailed this port ofa tho 20th November, arid experienced / hght winds un.

Turnbull and Co. are her agents here. „ The cutter Didd sailed for Blenheim early: on Supday morning. ,1' , , , , $ The ship St. Leonards finished discharging her cargo, which was a very large one, at 10 o clock of Saturday forenoon. * She has received very quick despatch,; having put out her'iiargoin 90 working'hours.
