New Zealand Shipping Co., agents

The ‘good ship’Rangitikei, the arrival of which off Tiritiri on Monday night we announced in our yesterday’s issue, reached an anchorage off the Queen-street Wharf shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday but had it not been for the assistance of the s.s.Wellington, which proceeded down to her during the morning, her arrival would have been prolonged to some hours later. Although it was known to us that the ship was off Tiritiri at 8 p.m. on Monday evening, nothing was publicly known of the ship’s close proximity (other than through our columns) until 10 a.m. yesterday, when the signal of a ship ‘inside Tiri’ was hoisted. Even then the name of the vessel was not signalled. At no time were her numbers shown during yesterday. If the Tiritiri telegraphic communication is to be of any use, some other and better arrangements must be adopted. Upon the present occasion theRangitikeihad to contend, against such unfavourable weather that her passage has been prolonged to 117 days - a long trip for such a vessel. 

Naturally her worthy commander has chafed under the enforced delay; but if her passage has been a long one it has not been an unpleasant one and the ship comes into port clean and trim, as do, in fact, all of the vessels of this well known company. Whilst the ship has been guided by the same careful hand that last visited this port with her, there are a few slight alterations in the personnel of her officers. Her chief officer, upon this trip, is Mr E J BUDD, her second being Mr A W NEWMAN and the third officer Mr Thomas MALCOLM.

The immigrants which theRangitikeihas brought to our shores are all a healthy and respectable looking class and Captain MILMAN speaks most highly of them, their demeanour throughout having been all that he could desire.

As we yesterday stated, the passengers have all arrived in excellent health, the only cases of sickness that occurred being principally amongst the children. Four deaths unfortunately occurred, three during the month of March and one in the present month. Two births took place. Some delay was experienced yesterday Mr Dr PHILSON visited the ship; as owing to his being detained at an inquest, he didn't reach the ship until 4.30 p.m. Dr PHILSON was then accompanied by Mr O MAYS the Immigration Officer and Captain BURGESS, the Harbourmaster. All the passengers were mustered and the usual 'march past' took place, and after a careful visit to the various quarters of the passengers, Dr PHILSON gave Captain MILMAN a 'clean bill', much to the joy of the passengers. Dr Newton BENTHAM was in charge of the immigrants and Mrs H REID acted as matron over the single girls. 

The ship is to be brought alongside the Queen-street Wharf today, when the immigrants' luggage etc. will be landed. Yesterday we stated that the passage was greatly prolonged by adverse winds from Tasmania. The following is a more detailed account of the voyage: TheRangitikeileft Plymouth at 5.30 p.m. on December 19th last, wind north-west, weather squally. Fine weather prevailed with winds veering from south-east to south-west, until the north-east trades were obtained, in latitude 16 deg. north. They proved very light and were lost in latitude 3 deg. north; thence to the equator, which was crossed on January 26th, light southerly and south-west winds. The south-east trades were then fallen in with and carried with brisk breezes to latitude 16 deg. south. Variable winds were then experienced to the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope, passed on February 24th and continued with slight intermission during the whole time the casting was being made. Passed Cape Lewin on March 17th and rounded Tasmania on March 27th, no steady winds prevailing; since passing Tasmania east and south-east, winds have been predominant, with unsettled weather. Sighted the Three Kings on April 8th. Taken throughout, the passage has been a most uneventful one, the only remarkable feature being the fine weather which has prevailed, coupled with the adverse winds and calms.
