The brlgantine Active, Captain Smith, arrived in this harbour on Sunday evening last, from . Melbourne via Nelson. She sailed from Melbourne on the 28th January;, experienced fine light weather, and arrived at Nelson on the 10th inst., after a pleasant passage of 18 days. Left Nelson on the 14th inst., was two days becalmed in Blind's Bay, and met with a S.E. breeze in the Straits. She embarked 37 passengers at Melbourne for Nelson and Wellington, twenty-five of whom have remained at Nelson, the remainder are for this place. Siie brings a full cargo of merchandise. The Active sails again on Thursday ■«ext, for Melbourne. Capt. Smith has favoured <«s with a file of Melbourne papers, extracts from which will be found in another column. The three-masted-schooner Vistula, Capt. Cul--bert, arrived in this harbour on Saturday afternoon, from Lyfctelton. She has a full cargo, and a number of passengers, and will proceed to Melbourne -the first change of wind. The s. s. Prince Alfred,, with the English and .Australian mails, in getting under weigh on Saturday last, met with one or two mishaps, which, although much exaggerated at the time, are not on enquiry likely to prove of a vei-y serioua -nature. . Having dragged the Harwood from tho Wharf, she subsequently got thwart hause of the Jura, carrying away that vessel's gib-boom, flying gih-boom and gear, inflicting sundry damages on her figure head aud covering boards, and finally carrying away her own fore-top gallant mast, before she could get clear. We attribute -those accidents to a strong westerly breeze suddenly springing up, and giving unusual force to the strong ebb tide, thus preventing the steamer from threading her way through the network of -shipping which surround id her; but for these circumstances we believe no contre temps would have occurred. — Southern Cross Feb. 3. H. M. S. Iris, Commodore Loring, C. 8., got .under weigh on Wednesday afternoon about three o'clock, beating through the Rangitoto Channel. en route for Waihtki, to take in wood and water! H. H. s. s. Niger remains at anchor off Britomart ■Point. — Ibid. Golconda. — This fine vessel, 800 tons, Captain Montgomery, arrived in our roadstead on Wednesday evening, having left Nelson, where she had been unloading during the last few weeks. She brings with her about 120 tons of cargo for this port, but no passengers, having had but two on her departure from London, one, ,who has -already arrived here per steamer, and Mr. Frost, who unfortunately died on his passage out. ' She . reached Nelson on December the /,4th, 110 days out, bringing a large cargo and about 140 passengers for that port. On her arrival there she was inspected 'by the Superintendent and Immi- J .gration officers, who, from the veiy favourable ! accounts which they received from all the be- j tween deck passegers determined on presenting a ' testimonial of 25 ' guineas to the Captain, and 15 guineas to the Surgeon, which was accordingly done. The Golconda sailed yesterday for China and the Indian seas, for her homeward cargo. — Taranuld Herald, Feb. 11.
