Arrived. —Rangitoto, b.s, from Port Chalmers, 8.30 a.m. The Delhi, a smart-looking iron clipper bf 675 tons register, arrived off the Heads at an early hour on Saturday morning, after a Somewhat lengthy passage from Liverpool, caused chiefly by 14 days' detention in the Irish Channel and indifferent winds to the latitude of Tris'an d'Acunha. Pilot Stevens boarded her, and b rough c her up against the ebb, with light baffling airs, to an anchorage in the afternoon. Of her passage, Captain Nichols (who was here in the capacity of chief mate of the Bosworth about llyears ago) re ports that the ship left Liverpool on the 7th of May, and had very heavy adverse weather in the Channel. Took her final departure from off Scilly on the 21st, had moderate weather to off Madeira, when she caught the N.E. Trades, which were light and variable, and lost in lat. 11 N. Light easterly breezes Were then experienced, and the Equator wis crossed on the 17th of Juue, in long. 29 30 W. • The S.E. Trades huug well >o the southward, and she pa3sed between Fernando De Noronha and the Kocas reef; made the Brazilian land 10 miles south of Cape Sfc. Rogue, and was detained for several

days, tacking off and on the coast. The Trades were lost in lat. 25 S. Moderate weather followed until the Bth of July, when a gale sprang up from E.N.E. and increased as the day advanced. At midnight, being under lower topsails and foretopmast staysail, the latter was split, hauled down, and two seamen sent out to stow it. While endeavouring to do so, both men were washed overboard. One saved himself by getting hold of the lee guys; but the other, James Jones, a native of New Quay, was drowned. The man saved, as soon as he got on board, came aft and gave information of the catastrophe ; but as the vessel had proceeded a considerable distance, and there was a very heavy sea runniDg, it was deemed imprudent to lower a boat, as the lives of the crew might have been sacrificed. . . . Tristan D'Acutiha was passed on the 16th of July ; from thence she had a succession of heavy gales, veering from W.S.W. to W.N.W., with tremendous seas, several of which broke on board, smashing the galley, washing two men away from the wheel, and removing a ventilator from the main deck, whereby the water got into the hold —in f iCfc, the vessel's decks were never dry after leaving " Tristan." The meridian of Greenwich was passed on the 20th July, and the Cape on the 25th. Her easting was ran down for the most part on the parallel of 44, and the Snares were sighted at 6 pm. on the Ist, when westerly breezes continued with tier till arrival. She brings a large and heavy cargo of general merchandise, including three steam ploughs ; and is consigned to Messrs Bright Bros, and Co. The s.s. Beautiful Star returned from her Northern trip at 1.15 p.m. yesterday, and pissed the port on her course towards Dunedin. She left Lyttelton at 2 a.m. on th« 2nd, called im Le Bon Bay, and arrived at Akaroa at 3.30 p.m. Left again at 5.30 p.m., and arrived at Timaru at the same hour next morning. Sailed at 745 p.m., and arrived at Oamaru at 2 a.m. yesterday. Sailed at 7.30 a.m., and arrived as above, having experienced fine weather on the coast.

The s.s. Taranaki, from Northern Provinces, arrived in harbour at 2 p.m., her mails and passengers were despatched to Dunedin in the p.s. Peninsula, She left the wharf at Onehiinga on the 25ch ultimo at 9 a.m., but was detained inside the Manukau Heads until 4 p.m. on the 28th, when '.she proceeded to Taranaki, arriving there at 10 a.m. on the 29th. Sailed at 7 a m on the 30th, and arrived at Nelson same evening at 9. Left at 1 a.m. on the 2nd inst, and arrived at Picton at 10.30 a.m. Left again at 11 a.m, and arrived at Wellington at 4.15 p.m. Left same day at 10.45 p m, and arrived at Lyttelton at 5 p.m. on the 3rd.

Experienced strong S.E. gales with heavy head seas from the Manukau to Cape Egmont, and from thence fine weather and light winds during the remainder of her passage. While at Nelson she was put on the hard, clean. I, and her bottom painted, and having left that port on the 2nd instant, it will be seen from the report that not much time was lost on her passage thence. She sails for Northern Ports to morrow, full or not full. On arrival Mr Moss, her purser, handed us some northern files, our regular full files being unfortunately sent in the s.s. Phoeoe, which steamer met with an accident at Taranaki by taking the ground, and will not arrive until to-day. The steamers Rangitoto, for Melbourne via the Bluff, and Gothenburg, for Melbourne via Northern and West Coast Ports, aailed on Saturday afternoon.

The ships Achilles, for Newcastle, and Archer for Sydney, are expected to sail today for their respective destinations. The brig Fawn is also expected to sail to-day for Lyttelton, with part of her original Mauritius cargo. The schooner Swordfish, having on board Mr Clifford and a auantity of brown trout and sea or salmon trout ova, as also some English perch, arrived at the Heads yesterday afternoon, from Hobart Town. Light variable winds brought her up to an anchorage off Deborah Bay last evening. The ova-, &c, were at once discharged into the pilot boat, and after Mr Clifford despatched a messenger to Dunedin, from the Port, he at once came on to town. Of the passage of the Swordfish, Captain Harvey reports having left Hobart Town on the 25th ult., with light, baffling winds, and took a departure from Cape Pillar on the 27th. Had fresh S.W. and southerly winds across to the Solander, made on the 2nd inst.
