| At about half past seven
o'clock on Saturday evening the city of Sydney
announced her arrival by the firing of her gun
when about the breast of the Railway Wharf and
shortly after she was safely berthed at the Queen-street
Wharf. Pilot SAINTY being in charge of the vessel.
Upon the present trip theCity of Sydneyhas
fully sustained her reputation as a rapid traveller,
she coming into port nearly two days ahead of
her time-table date and this too in the face
of very unfavourable weather which had to be
contended against from the time the 'City' passed
the Samoan Islands. The vessel is still under
the command of the ever popular Captain H C
DEARBORN and comes into harbour in her usual
trim and clean state.
As an evidence of the popularity of the
City of Sydney, she has a well filled passenger
list, having 8 cabin and 11 steerage for her
and 28 cabin and 50 steerage for Sydney. In
addition to this she has 159 tons cargo for
Auckland and 810 tons for Australia.

The early hour of the
steamer's arrival coupled with the fineness of
the evening, had the effect of drawing a large
crowd of sightseers down the wharf and being allowed
on board, her decks and saloons soon presented
an animated appearance and this continued up to
a late hour in the evening. All who went on board
seemed well pleased with their visit and expressed
themselves in flattering terms of the natty and
clean appearance of the vessel and her appointments.
After the discharging of her cargo and taking
in a supply of coal, the City of Sydney resumed
her voyage to Sydney shortly after eight o'clock
yesterday morning. Of the passage we find that
the steamer left San Francisco on the 28th July
at 11.28 a.m. and arrived at Honolulu on the
4th inst. at 5.45 a.m., sailing again at 1.18
p.m. the same day. Took the Auckland pilot on
board at 7.7 p.m. on Saturday last and reached
the wharf as named above. Light winds and fine
weather prevailed up to the Samoan Islands,
since then strong winds from the S.W. and southerly,
with very heavy head sea and swell. We have
to thank Mr J V C COMFORT the purser, for the
prompt delivery of our files and despatches
and for other favours.
