ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP WAITARA, FROM LONDON.

The N Z.S. Company's ship Waitara, Captain A Brown, was signalled on Saturday evening, and by 9.30 pm, Pilot Holmes had anchored her in harbour. The Waitara brings several passengers, who have arrived in good health. There was nothing particularly worthy of note during the passage, and the weather throughout was fair average. The run from land to land occupied 88 days. She left Gravesend on 29th September, and was off Start Point on 2nd October; crossed the Meridian of Greenwich on 22nd November. Rocks Point was the first land sighted (28th ult), and Wellington Heads were made as above. She was berthed at the wharf yesterday, and is to follow the ship Orari for London.
