The Viola was to be followed from- Glasgow, by the ships Brechin Castle.and Resolute, of the same line., The vessels spoken-by tlie Viola [were the yAkbar, from London, with troops for Kurrae_ee, and the Favorite, bound for, Singapore.„ ... ,_ ??"":' --_, ... . ~ ... .. ... ; The s. s; Gothenburg f eturned fromLy tteltori at 10 ija.m.) and the William Miskihj' from Inyercargiil at 'ah earlier hour, the' latter proceedin^direct to town. I The ship Star, with a large: and .valuable1 freight.of horses! from Melbourne} arrived off the "Heads in the morning, but, in consequence.of'the-strong breeze blowing from the 5.W.,: and' the. lightness of tlie vessel, the Favorite-did not; Succeed in towing her. She will probably be brought up on the evening tide. i The latent arrivals,.at Lyttelton include the Heather Bell-and Fanny-Merriman, from Sydney, and the LadyDenison from Hobart Town, via Otago. i Ihe . White Star,. barque, Albert William, pro ■ ceeds to Wellington to load wool for London. I On the-arrival of; the City of Dunedin steamer, at Port Chalmers, on Saturday afternoon, the party of excursionists outboard were welcomed by a salute from Taylort battery on the hill, and this example was imitated by several vessels in the harbor, including the barque St. Dunstan,| and the, ship Chile, Nelson, and-Star of Tasmania. The St.'Lunstan was also gaily decorated with all her. bunting, and the other large home ships at present in harbour,- a majority of which are consigned to Messrs Cargill and Co. made an equally1 gay appearance: .fcimilar compli'imenfs.were paid to the new steamer, and the partj on board, by a show of colours on. the ffagstaft at the Heads; and all ships which were passed dipping thur ensigns. Perhaps the inbst interesting episode ofthe trip from Port Chalmers downwards1 was the passing -.of the ships.Daniel Rankin and Viola, the passengers by which'were -warmly1 welcomed, as the- steamers steamed past each vessel. . , !On Tuesday evening-the; barque Pekin arrived, after a voyage of 126 days from London- The tedious passage experienced by Captain Griffiths is to be accounted for in a great measure by ,' a succession of adverse weather north of the. line, which was not crossed till the lfth September, having left lha docks on the 26th July and the Downs on the 29th; altogether; the voyage.has been agreeable, to the people on board so far as the weather was concerned, and after crossing the Equator the ship completed the voyage in 75 days, certainly a long time, but not so much so, taking into consideration that nearly all the ships are making long passages this year to the southern hemisphere. The ships Bahia and Brother's Pride are now out some days longer than the Pekin, and are looked for hourly with a. change ot wind from the,S.W. The Pekin brings a large freight, and' she;is consigned to ; Mr D. Davis.'.-.
