A Bhip 10 miles to the south-east was signalled from Otago Heads yesterday morning, and the s.s. Plucky at once steamed out to tender her. She proved to be Shaw, Savill, and Co.'s Zealandia, and was towed across the bar at 11.30 a.m., and met in the Powder-ground (where she anchored) at 0.25 pm. by the Customs eteam launch, and, all being well, was at once boarded and cleared in by Mr MacDonnell, the tide-surveyor. The representatives ol the Preßß were cordially received by Captain Sellars, who readily supplied them with the details of the passage—a most eventful one, the ship having encountered fearlul weather while crossing the Southern Ocean; indeed Captain Sellars describes it as the worst ho has met, during an experience of 30 years, in this ocean, and we aro certain he is correct, from tbe appearance of the ship, which both fore and aft bears unmistakable marks of tho furious gales Bhe has 'met; while both passengers and crew mU6t have been in a most miserable plight, and much to be pitied, the passengers' compartment having been completely flooded out, whilo several of the seamen lost tbe whole of their belongings, their chests having been washed overboard. The Zealandia, brings 22 passengers and 1800 tons of cargo, principally deadweight, bhe has also seven tons of powder, stowed in a propetly-conßtructed magazine, and after discharging it she will come to the wharf. Tho health of the passengers has been all that could be desired, and despite the many discomforts they have had to contend with they look extremely well. Captain Sellars brings with him the following officers:—Mr Renny, chief; Mr Hammond (late of the ship Taranaki), second; Mr Bell (who ia new in tbe employ), third; and Mr Walsh (formerly of the steamers Rotorua and Taiaroa), chief steward. The, steward deserves great praise for tho very comfortable and orderly appearance of the saloon, notwithstanding that it has been completely flooded, and was for a time used by tho second-class passengers. The passige from anchor to anchor has occupied 93 days—rather a long one for the Zealandia, but easily accounted for by the fact ol her meeting strong adverse winds at the outset, and very poor N.E. and S.E. trades. She left the East India Docks on the morning of July Bth in tow of the tug Robert Bruce, came-to at the buoys off Gravesend, embarked her powder, and cleared up ready for a start; left Gravesend at 4 a.m. on the 9th of July In tow of the Kobert Bruce, passed through tho Downs at 0.30p.m„ and breasted DungencßS .at 8 p.m. same day; had westerly winds down Channel, and cast off the tug on thel3th July, landing the pilot off Start Point; thence she experienced freßh westerly winds with heavy rain, and cleared the Channel on the 16th, having had a very tedious and trying time, especially for the ship's company; thence ;ehe experienced the winds veering from W.S.W. to W.N.W., until July 24th, in latitude 31.16 N., longitude 19.47 W. The N.E trades were taken in latitudo 29.40 N., long. 22.28 Vf.; they proved very light and variable, and gave out on August 2nd, in latitude 14.40 N. and loDgitude 25.44 W.; thence she met a tedious spell of doldrums and S.W. winds, which continued until she reached latitude 3.3 N., longitude 20.22 W.,on August 12tb, on which day the S.E. trades set in; they were light and unsteady, and far to the southward, and were lost on August 23rd, in latitude 26.26 S., longitude 34.24 W. From thence she experienced unsteady winds all round the compass, and in latitude 40.20 S., longitude 226 E., took tho first of the westerlies; they were light and variable, and she rounded the Cape of Good Hope on September 6'th, in latitude 40.28 S. The winds continued light until September 12th, in 41.4 S. latitude and 47.50 E. longhude, when fresh breezes were experienced, veering from N.N.W. to -west and north; and on September 16th, in latitude 42.1 S , longitude 65.19 E., she encountered a cyclone of hurricane violence, which began atnortb, veered round by the west until it reached southwest, and then it moderated; the vessel was on the port tack during the gale, during which both lower topsails were blown away, and the vessel ran under Dare poles, whilo tremendous seas broke on board, and carried away the forecastle and head rails, pig-pens, front of tiie deckhouse, and washed the contents of the galley entirely out. Tho doors of the deckhouse were burst in by the force of the eea, and the whole structure much shaken. The water-tanks were stove in, and the sheep . pens smashed in two; while a considerable portion -if the topgallant bulwarks and tbe rail were carried a>«,y. During tbe sale the barometer foil to 28.70, tho thermometer indicating 53. Captain Sellars states the vessel behaved splendidly throughout, but owimr to the Bea being so high and cross, she. had very little fair play. The weather moder-ted on September 18th, and all hands were employed in repnirin_ damcg.s and bend'<a? fresh Bails. Thenco she experienced f re-h to light •eezes, accompanied by a very heavy S.W. swell, JL was constantly shipping great quantities cf Jl'jr, until September 2Sth, iv latitude 40.2 S., iiSide 120.1 E., when the barometer began Jjn m l very rapidly, and the wind came out ".™,'.N.W., increasing to a heavy gale, and the v„!° :i* pn' under her two lower topsails and run J,,, <s° I The gale increased to frightful violence „ I J . p _em-r 30ih, attended by a high, cross sea, wn.n broke oa __~,._, fined tho main deck, and wnaon away .ve.ything movable, so that by noou noting „,-„ ltUi Severfl j heavy following- seas wei ther, encounto-H. which named __vay the

poop shirs and wing closets, and flooded the saloon, the water finding its way to the l&vaa, and doing considerable damage. At about - P-™' two tremendouß seas camo on board, wasn ng away the bridge and boat-skids, and smashing one of the boats, bursting in the starboard door of tbe saloon, in which the third-class passengers wero berthed, and driving the occupants completely out of their compartment into the body of the saloon. Another terrifi. soa then pooped her,, breaking tho skylights and forcing its way into the saloon, creating the greatest fear amongst tne passengers, wh >, Captain Sellars states, were in a miserable plight; while the front of the forecastle was cnropletsly etove in by the violence of tne sea, and tho seamen's chests washed overboard. Indeed, Captain Sellars states that during the continuance of tbe September moon tho weather was decidedly the worst, and the two gales the heaviest, in all hia 30 years' experience in the Southern seas, and only to be compated to that which at times prevails in the Bay of Bengal, the barometer during the gale of September 30th falling to 21.80, the sympesometer to 27.85, and the aneroid barometer to 27.90. She passed the meridian of Tasmania on October 3rd, in latitude 47.34 S., with a fine 6mart N.W. breeze and cloudy weather, and on the following day experienced an increasing N.W. wind with rainy weather and low barometrical Indications; the wind freshened to another strong gale on the stn inst., compelling her to heave-to under her maintopsail until 5 p.m., when, singular to relate, tho wind suddenly fell calm, and thence she experienced a light W.N.W. breeze and very unsettled weather, followed by light variable winds lip to the land; she sighted Chasland's Mistake at 5 a.m. on the 9th inst., and passed the Nugget light, bearing S.W. by W., dißtant 10 miles, at 5 p.m. Eame day; experienced light winds all round the compa»3, with heavy rains, along the coast, and took Pilot Paton on board at 9 a.m. yesterday, coining into port as above, after a passage of Bdays from port to port, and 84 days from land to land. She made her easting between the parallels of 42 and 43 south latitude. No vessels wero epoken during tho passage, nor did she sight either land or ice.

The s.s. Manapouri, from Melbourne, via the Bluff, arrived at Port Chalmers at 5.45 a.m. yesterday. She left Hob'ou's Bay at 7 p.m. on the 4th inst., and cleared Port Phillip Heads at 9.40 p.m.; passed Gooee Island at noon on the following day, and Swan Island at 2.30 p.m,; experienced fresh westerly winds and lino weather, and reached the _loff at 5 p.m. on the Bth inst., after a smart pasßa-e of three days and 17 hours. She left the Bluff at 5.16 p.m. on the 9th inst., and reached the wharf as above. We thank her courteous ai.d obliging purser (Mr Maekillop) for report and files. ... The s.s. Kakanui, from Invercargill, arrived at Port Chalmers on Monday night, and passed up to Dunedin. The ketch Grace, from Invercargill, crossed the bar at 11 a.m. yesterday, and beat up the harbour to Dnncdin. ■ The dredger No. 222 took out a full load of silt yesterday from the bank between the piers and Graving Dock. The s.s. Maori sailed yesterday evemng for Oamaru. ________
