Our Hdads correspondent wirod last night as follows: —" A barque passed North this morning; too far in the offinj) for her signal to be maUo out The bai^ue Harriet Armitftge.arrivod from Newcastle yesterday aitenioon, and has again distinguished herself byimakimr asmart passago eight dnysthid time, out of which she lost one dayhove-toin heavy westerly weathor. She has made the round trip in five weeks and four days. Left here on the 27th March with a cargo <if'grain, was 14 days on the passage to Newcastle.; discharged there, and loaded cotd and coke on ship's nccount, and left on April 27th, with a N.V/. wind. On the 30th, the wind hauled to west, and thon to S.W., and increased to a strong g»lt>, with heary'sea, which betog well quarterly, nud increasing in volume, tho barque, after running all night, was compelled to heave to on the Ist iust., and remained by tho wind until the following morning The aea by tlsat time'havinir gone down a Jittle, she kept away on her course, carried fresh gales to the land, which was made,about the S.W. Capo on the 3rd inst., and with tho gale still fresh behind her, she ran through Fov«atix Strait next day. .When she w«w clear of v, the gale dropped, and light westerly winds attended hor along the coist. The Geclong towed her in. The Harriet AmiiUt^e is to lighten a foot or bo at the Port, and then proceeds to Dunediu to discharge tho balance of her cargo. Captain Malller repor « the barque'Proßp'ictor at Newcastle loaded for Fiji, and wob to have Milled. April 29th. Freights at Newcastle were very slock, aud a great many vessels wore laid up there in consequoucoTho ketch Ki-Btiel, bound from Furakanui to the Bluff, put in here late on Thursday night to obtain repairs to her centre board, which hod got out of order.'.These were effected yesterday by Mr Sutherland, of MO Port, and when the Wind changes the ketch will proceed to her destination. The ketch Lloyd's Herald was taken off Sutherland's slip yesterday, ft"tl 1H ty proceed .to Dunedin to complete the extensive repairs her owneis, Messrs Guthrie and Larnacb, have decided she shall receive. Whilst on the slip sho was fitted with a new keel and kelson, was ns-fastened throughout, and caulked. At Dunedin she is to re-decked, roceivo new fore and aft Btringerg, new covering.boards, and. now sheer etrakea. Thus the o'd ketch, which is nearly a-s staunch as ever in hor framing, will be converted into next to a new vessel.

The stwimors Samron and Matau left for Oamaru yesterday morning. The Btosuner Taiaroa left yesterday evening on another trip to Timaru. Tho ship Margaret Galbraith was brought in yesterday from the position she lms eomc time occupied off the Dock-beail, vud was moored outside the Wellington, at tbe Railway Pier. The steamer Wonganui left on another trip to Lyttelton and intermediate ports last evening. According' to the Daily Hlot of the 27th ultimo, there tore .on that date 45 v. f sels, aggregating 28,844 tons, lying at Newcastle. Of these, 14, aggregating 13,662 tons, were ships; 32, aggregating 12,675 tons, barques; and 9, aggregating 2200 tons, brigs and schooner*. Amongst tho ships were Corona, Sir Lancelot, and Olive, from this port. We have received a letter from Captain Strachan, of the ship Corornt, in which he announces his arrival at Newcastle on April 7th,. after a, passage of fourteen days. He took the Cook strait passage for it, and cleared the Strait on the 24th March, the third day Iroin port. Tho Corona had loading winds with dirty weather until she was within 4UO miles of her destination, apd.'thcu hovo-to toaueverc N.W. galo. The chips Olive and Sir Lancelot arrived at Newcastle on tho Sth, the former after an eighteen days' passage, the latter fifteen days out. She went south about, and when; the master compared notes with Captain Strachan, It was found that tshe only just cleared the New Zealand laud when tho Corona was battling with the gale In the middle ground. The ship Olive went right noirth about, and from the time she waa off Auckland, made a capital ran of soven daya to Newcastle. • ■

The p.B. Comerang returned to port yesterday afternoon, and passed on to Dunodin. She left here on tho 29th ult, at 8 p.m., and arrived at Bluff Harbour at 10 p.m. next day. Discharged cargo on Monday, UtMay, and Killed foi Riveirtonat 8 p.m., and came to anchor at 11.30 p.m.; remained at anchor until Cji.in on the 2nd, through -sf.res-B of weather, and got into Riverton same night. Discharged cargo on the 3rd, and shipped a. quantity of timber and produce for Dunedin. and sailed fur the Bluff at 8 p.m., arriving alongside the wharf at midnight; commenced loading timber and wool for Dunedin. and Bailed at 1 p.m. ; ptussei the Nnggots on tfce sth at 3ani.,,round<;dCiipeSaundersat 0.30 a.m., and entered the Ilca |b at 12.15 p.m. Very l,olste:ous weather was encountered throughout, tbe voyage. Monday is tho day set down ior her departure south. The brkantlne Au itcvoir will commence loading grain to-day for Melbourne. Her iuw&rd cargo, we may msiitioti, was turnel out in first-claaa condition, not a ttai.n being observable ou any of the packages. The tviu-bcrew ntcauwr Ino has lacen purchased by Mr Stewart, who intends to p!aca her in the local coasting service. Some important repairs to her boiler are to be tffocted, such as the construction of a new combustion chamber. When thwe are made, it is expected fthe will steam tolerably well, and prove a baudy vessel.
