The rlepar-

tures show a total of 353, of whom 295 left the Province. A largo number of arrivals arc doe this month, including a number of immigrants. The weather on the whole has been bad, the -wind being principally from the eastward, sending in a heavy soa on the c tast, and several coasters have had narrow escapes from shipwreck. The following arc the reports of late arrivals:—

The ship Ironsides was towed in on the 18th tilt, by the p.s. Gcclong, and anchored in the Quarantine (Ground. She was cotnmu incited with by the Boarding Officer and Harbour Master, who, on finding several of the crew ailing from various cauues, returned U> shore witlinu' clearing the vessel. They again proceeded back with T)r O'Ltono#huc in the steamer Pcninsnla, returning at- halfpist VI o'clock. The doctot had found that there was no infectious disease on board, and the veascl was at once cleared, and her master {Captain Vaux) returned with the party in the Peninsula, and proceeded to town. Rheumatism, Bore heads, <ltc., caiiHcd through bad weather in running down her ■easting, arc reported to Sic all the illness to fi or oof the crew. From her log the following report is culled :—LeftGravesend on the 7th of 'March, took her departure from the Isle of Wight on the 10th, had moderate weather to'the Trades, which were only caught in. lat. 19 N. Crossed the E<|Mator on the 11 tli of April in long. 23.40 W. The fi.E. Trades were light and indifferent, ami variables were met with till reaching 12 IV*. W.S. W., and westerly gales thcu set in and continued ; passed thu meridian of Greenwich on the 7th May, and the Capo on tin; 11 th. Her easting was run down om a general parallel of 45 S., and was characterised .by heavy westerly weather, with high seas, several of which broke on board, dmng considerable damage. The land south of the Nuggets light was frighted at 4 p.m. on the lGth, and the Heads reached early on the following day. All the passengers enjoyed good health throughout th<; passage. The Ironsides is a powerful-looking ship of 808 tons, a good model, ami under more favourable circumstances should have a madu a good passage. As it is, considering the bad weather encountered, sho came into port in good order.

The United States mail Btcamer Nevada, with, the European ami American mails, arrived ftt Fort Chalmers at a quarter to eight on the morning of the 30th ult. Her mail* and passengers, together with the Phoebe's which arrived afterwards, were conveyed to town by the p.B. Peninsula. From the Nevada's log we learn that she luft Honolulu on the 3rd ult. at 5,20 p.m., experienced fine weather till the 14th, when iit became boisterous. On tho ISth, she encountered a very heavy gale from the W.S.W., with high' seas, and laboured heavily. The gale continued until her close approach to Auckland, at which port she arrived at 11.15 p.m. on the 21st. Left at 8.30 p.m. on. the 23rd, with heavy B.S.W. gales, veering in to S. E., weather thick, with heavy sea. Arrived oil* Napier at 5 p.m. on the 25th ; discharged mails, and sailed at 0.20 p.m. for Wellington, arriving there at G. 25 p.m. on the 20th. Left at O.JO p.m. on the 27th ; reached Lytteltmi at 3.30 p.m. on the 2Sth ; left again at 4.55 a.m. on the 21) th, and arrived as above. Wo thank Captain TJlcthun and her purser for files of American and other papers. The Nevada, in coming down the coast, encountered terrific adverse weather, and her commander, being anxious to come up to time, hardly ever left the deck. In fact, he has only had his clothes off for a " turn in " two hours during the ptumagu from Auckland. Mr Davis, her old chief oflieer, i« still at his post, and looks as jolly as ever. The'inimitable barber is also to be found on board.
