ARRIVAL OF THE MAORI. , We. welcome the arrival of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's cargo steamer Maori, from London, which arrived off the heads rather unexpectedly at 2.30 am. yesterday, fully two days in advance of her due time. She anchored until J.I..KJ a.m., when the tide being favourable, she steamedjnto P Drt under the charge of Pilot MDonald; her draft being 22ft. While coming up the harbour the customs boat ranged alongside,^ and after the usual inspection by the health officer, all being well, she was ' admitted to pratique and promptly cleared in by the customs surveyor. Continuing her course, she was berthed alongside the George cc? ccJ r Ple. r.to discharge her-cargo for this port. Ihe Maori is still under the command of Captain Koffatt, who is t-i be congratulated on the excellent passage he .has" made, only.MS days havmg elapsed from port to port, including a stoppage of 12 hours oft the Snares, which she passed at 6 p.m. on the 17th inst., and on passing saw a light on the beach at Boat Harbour, and answer^ the same by sending up blue lights. Ihere being^no response . Captain ■ Mbffatt, at 8 p.m., decided to he off* the island all night. The whistle was blown frequently and rockets let off and at 7 a.m. on the 18th the vessel steamed close in along the island, but saw nothing with the exception of a schooner, which was evidently a sealer, and the Maori was again put on her course. Captain Moffatt brings with him the following officers:—Mr G. Adam chief Mr A Wightman second, Mr C. Stokes third Mr a" Reid fourth The engine- department is under the charge of Mr C. Wilson (late of the lonic) who has associated with him Mr Kelly second Mr E. A. Hall third, Mr Campbell fourth.
