ARRIVAL OF THS K0?C07,1. Tho new s.team tug Koputai, l:uilt to the ordur of the Union Steam Ship Company, which has been anxifusly looked for for some little lii c past, arrived yesterday in ihargc of PUvt Moore, aid was met by the Geelong and towed to an anchorage. She lun been fully described in our columns, and it will therefore be sufficient to say that she conns out schooner ringed, carrying squire canvas forward. The engines and ■boiler are in position, and havo been well looked to by the engineer in charge, Mr Jumcs M'hwen. 'Jhe Ko patai was 148 days on t!io voyage, uluVh, however, is not an over-long time when tho size cf the vessel is considered. She tilso experienced exceptionally bad weather to the Line, principally from s.\V. to W. On one occasion—October ti—the wind and soi were so heavy that when an observation was taken next day it was discovered the vessel had been driven back a distance of 35 miles. The gales w.-ro frequent, very heivv and generally attended with ruin and hail, compalliti'' tho "vessel to heave-to on several occasions. CaptnTn i'itzor speaks very well of lur sea-going Dualities ridin" like a duck when hove-to and tho sea rose anything I: ke true Sho will be got ready for active servico with all possible despatch, and then wo tin boast of having the most effluent tug in the Colonies. She left Glasgow on the 20th September, and was ttfwed 'o Green ">ck to adjust compasses, and left on the evening of thu -2Cth.

On the 30th the wind veered to SE and increased by midnight to a heavy gale, with much rain and hail. ' The vessel w»b scudded dead before it, rolling gunwale under, and continually flooding the decks. At noon o:i the Ist October the wind moderated to a rising birometcr, but that night tiio wind went round t:> 'W.N.W., with high sea and sharp squalls Next day the wi.,d elioppeJ round to S E., aid was accompanied by heavy rain, wind and sea increasing r-ipidly. AU smitll sail wus handed and the vessel hove to, "making good weather of it. On the 3rd October, at noon, the wind moderated ; but increasi ig to a galo, tho ship's head was brought to ihe wind and she ma again love to. At 8 p.m. the wind veered to the west and blow with in'ironsing fury. Similar weither wag experienced until the 18th October, when Madeira wai sighted. On the 20n October Palma Island, one oi the Canaries, was passed in si','ht. liirht airs and variables continued to the 25th, when the wind o.rae out from S.W., squ.lly, with much rain it increased to a gale on the 20th October, in lal 21 53 N., and lasted until midnight of the 23th, who it dieu away alt«trether, and was succeeded by a calm. From the 28th Outoi or to Ist November light winds and cilras irev.iiled. On the 3rd November si-ht-d San Antonio, and on the sth picked up wh? was thought to be the N. K. Trade, m lat. la.ia <!e-' N Ion" 30.21 deif. W. They wore, however, doomed"to disappointment, m it gave out on the Bth November, and was followed by ca.nw. which lasted until the 22nd. The best daj'ai work during tnattima was 90 miles, and the worst but 15

miles. The welcome S.ti. Trade was got on the22'.d November, in lat. 25 S., long. 32 W., when she crosse 1 the Equator.

Passed tho meridian of the Leuwin on tho 11th, aDd, the-wester-lies still holding good, was abreast of the Snares by the ltSt'h inst. The'weather then sot in very thick, so that no objervations could be mado.
