The Wonga Wonga, from Wellington, had a very long passage round, strong westerly winds prevailing in the Straits. She lay in the Sound from Monday— the day of her leaving Wellington—till Wednesday night', and came through the French Pass. The representative at Sydney of the E. and A. Company had published a notification to the effect that owing to the disabled condition of the European, the steamship City of Sydney (belonging to the A.S.N.

Four deaths occurred, all ohi'dren; and a seaman named George Buckman fell overboard during a gale of wind, She had a very .fine run out, and the pasaengers speak in the highest terms of the captain, docter, and the treatment they received. This splendid ship is one of Messrs. Arthur Willis, Gann, & Cds well known line of packets. The Cresswell was laid on by the same firm, to sail for Wellington direct early in September.— -New Zealand Spectator, Nov. 14.
