The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's ship Oamaru, from London, arrived off the heads yesterday morning, and was tendered by the tug Plucky, which brought her into port under the charge of Pilot Thomson, and she came to anchor in the quarantine ground, having on board 786 cases of gunpowder. WhileVghe-was coming up the harbour the customs boat ranged alongside, and after the crew had been mustered and inspected by the health officer, all being >ysli,-she was admitted to pratique and cleared in by the customs surveyor. ■ The Gatnaru. is under the command of Captain Fullartou, who brings with him as chief officer Mr I.c Gras, Mr Colvin beinjr second. She brings 1991 tons cargo. 751. tons of which is measurement goods and 1240 tons deariweight. Her passage h?.s occupied 105 days from anchorage to anchorage, which would have besn considerably lessened but.for the fact of her meeting easterly winds after rounding the Cape or Good Hope, while 10 days elapsed since she made the Snsres owing to calms and light airs from the eastward. The \essel,.however, comes into por.t in capital order. We are indebted- to Captain Fuliarton for supplying with his usual court* sy thu report of the vessel's passage:—Left Lonaon on May 20, proceeded to Gr»\esend, and after taking on board ]0 tons gunpowder left Rgaiu same day; hadlight fair winds down Channel aud took her departure from Start Point at 8.20 p.m. on May 22; experienced light variable winds until pas3ing Madeira on May 30, and took the first of the N.E. trades on June 1 in lat. 30N., long. 19 W. The trades, were only moderate, and gave out,on June 11 in lat. 7. M., ! iong. 24' W. Then .she had variable winds, and I. erocie£'-'-i JAC- equator ou June 16 in long. 28 W. ; carried moderate to squally S.E trades untiTJurie 23 in lat. 20 S., long. 30 W., followed by variable, i weather until crossinc the'meridian of Greenwich on July 30 in lat. 39.30 S., when she met light N.W. and S.W. winds, and rounded the Cape, of Good Hope on July 17 in lat. 43 S:, when S.E. and N.E winds prevailed until the 23rd, followed by N. N.W. gales with unsettled'weather, and rain, hail.and show squalls, which cohtinuedj with the exception of two days, until August. IS. when the weather moderated.. On August. IS a heavy gale sprang up from S.W. round to N.W., hackicg again to S.W., and finishing up from the S.E., witU a tremendous sea. She passed the meridian of Cape Leuwin on AugustlO in lat. 45 S., and the island of Tasmania on the 17th in lat. 47.30 S ; ; then she had more moderate weather up tp the Snares, bearing five miles distant at midnight on the 25th, the wind dying away to nearly a calm. Calm and light easterly airs were then met with until four miles:'and a-half off the Brothers at 4-p.m. on August 31, when a fresh N.E: gale sprar.s up, and atb"p.m. on September 1 the Niiggets'light was visible eight miles, distant'W.; by _S. Moderate N.E:"gale" continued; and at s:p:m. bii'the 3rd Cape Saundera was distant six miies^NiN.lC, still blowing a fresh N.E. gale until the'eyehihg of the 4th, when at 6 pirn. Gape Saunderfiwas just visible, the; land being covered wi&'fog. She reached oif and on all night, and took the pilot on board ye3terday morning, and towed lip to the anchorage as above. Neither ice nor wreckage was Been. -■:..'"•■
