She will have quick despatch and will leave here during the week for Newcastle direct. It is unnecessary to mention that she has splendid cabin accommodation for passengers. Thomas Patterson and Go., of Dunedin, advertise a barque of 340 tons for sale, with a light draught of water. Pull particulars can be obtained from the advertiser. The old Luna, which has seen so many changes in her days, and latterly kept as a coal hulk, is likely to be again brought into service. She has been purchased by an Auckland gentleman, who is going to put her on the Slip, and if her hull is found in anything like good order she will be converted into a threemasted schooner. Prom what we can hear the bottom is as sound as e ver it was, so that before very long we may expect to see her to the fore again. AKKIVAL OP THE BARQUE ARABELLA PROM LONDON. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s chartered barque Arabella, which had been off the Heads since Thursday night, was towed into port hv the Tui late on Saturday evening. The Arabella is a stranger to Wellington, but not to New Z-.dw d, she having visited Auckland in 1878 fr m whence she proceeded to Newcastle for a cargo of coals for Port Chalmers. She is an iron vessel of ton. register, and was built m IM>. he is under the command of Captain Pierson, and the scrupulously clean manner m which she has been brought into port reflects the greatest credit on

her master and officers. There are no passengers on board, but she has a large general car°o among which is about five tons of powder. This however, will be landed first thing this morning, and should the weather be favorable the vessel will be brought alongside the Queen’s Wharf. We are indebted to Captain Pierson for the following particulars of the V °The Arabella left the docks on the 10th February, and on the 12th passed the Downs, with light winds, varying from N.E. to N.W. She then fell in with southerly winds, and on the 15th was off the Lizards, from whence she took her departure. Prom this time until the 23th fhe encountered a succession of baffling winds, hut on the 4th March the N.E. trades were picked up, in 17 deg. N. and 25 deg. W., but proved very light. On the same day she sighted St. Anthony Island. The Equator was passed on the 13th March, in 25 deg. W., the winds being light and variable. Ip 2tdeg. S. the S.E. trades were met with, but were very unsteady, and gave out on March 21st, in 21deg. S. and 32deg. W. From thence until crossing the meridian of Greenwich she experienced light and variable winds. On the sth of April the Cape was passed, in 41deg. 44min. S., with light southerly wind", which continued for three days, and on the fourth increased to a heavy gale, but fortunately no damage was done to the vessel. The Crozets were passed on the 21st April, the weather being very thick, with light N.E. winds. St. Pauls were passed on the 27th, and on the Bth May the meridian of Cape Leuwin was crossed, the barque having run her easting down in 44deg. Squally weather was then experienced to Tasmania, which she passed on the 15th May in 45deg. 2Gmin. S. A heavy gale from the westward was then met with, during which the vessel labored heavily, and a heavy sea breaking on board stove in the galley door, and smashed the pig-house and fowl-house to pieces. A large quantity of water also found its way down the after hatchway, and several of the crew were for some time engaged m bailing it out. Proin Tasmania until sighting Caps Farewell light, at daylight on the 22nd inst., she had light winds, and a fresh N.W. breeze springing up brought her off the Heads on Thursday nignt. Here she encountered the full force of the N.W. gale, which blew in Wellington on Friday, and was compelled to stand off. A heavy sea was also running, and a wave striking her on the quarter broke the port glasses in the cabins of the first and second officers. The barque also lost an anchor while off Baring Head, Her hatches will be opened to-day, and she will commence discharging to-morrow.
