BUFF.

This day,

The Otago, Captain McLean, left Mel bourne on the 15th and experienced heavy weather. She hove to ten hours near So lander's Island, and was then obliged to seek shelter at Dusky Sound, remaining fourteen hours. The weather was terrific. She ar rived at the Heads at 11 p.m. last night She brings 53 saloon and 43 steerage passen gers, 340 tons cargo, and five horses for all ports. She sails for Dnnedin at 5 p in.

Arrival of the Miltiades.

The signal of a ship was hoisted early this morning at the flagstaff, North Shore. As there was no prospect of the vessel making the harbour before night we at once sent a pigeon down by steamer, which returned faithfully with the following message : — "Miltiades off Gall Point" The Miltiades is commanded by Captain Perritt, and sailed from London on May 3rd. She has, there fore, made the run from port to port in the Bhort space of eighty days. She bring a large cargo, and 470 Government immigrants.

The Miltiades is owned by Geo. Thomson, junr., and Co., of Aberdeen. She was launched April 7th, 1871, from the yard of Messrs. Walter Hood and Co., at Aberdeen. She belongs, to the Aberdeen Clipper Line, and she will make the second ship belonging to that employ present in our waters, the fine ship Queen of Nations being under the same flag. The Miltiades is an iron ship of 1452 tons register. She is 265 feet long, 39 feet 3 inches beam, and 23 feet depth of hold. She is fitted with double topsail and topgallant yards and patent steering gear. She carries a steam-engine on board, which serves the double purpose of working the winches and the condensing apparatus. It is also useful in case of fire. The amount of canvas spread by the Mil tiades is very great. "When tinder full sail she shows an area of 10,000 square yards. Amongst the most noteworthy features of the Miltiades are her 'tween decks, which are exceedingly spacious and lofty, and weJl suited for carrying a large load of passengers. The height between is nine feet. Her cabin accommodation is of the most complete de scription. The saloon affords berths for twenty-five first-clasa passengers. It is fitted with panelling of bird's-eye maple, with stanchions of teak, ornamented with a carved eagle on each. Both* her lower masts and topmasts are of iron, as well as the Icm er yards and lower topsail yards. The present is the fourth voyage made by this fine ship, all her previous voyages having been made to Melbourne, her average run being 65 days. The Miltiades is beyond doubt the finest vessel that has ever visited this port. &er lines are cast in the finest mould.the general opinion of those who have Been her being that she is like a large-sized yacht. She has an exceedingly clean entrance with fine run aft. Her sheer is graceful, and her masts and yards tapering and well formed Captain.Perritt has been in command since her launch. He is a stranger in Auckland, but, we have no doubt, will, with his fine vessel, meet with a hearty welcome in our port. Mr Breach, chief officer, was formerly chief officer of the ship Queen of Nations, while Mr Bisset now second officer of the latter ship was second officer of the Miltiades daring her first two voyages. THE VESSEL ASHORE. About two o'clock the signal "ship ashore" was hoisted at the flagstaff. The announcement caused some anxiety, but this was relieved by the signal "Afloat" feeing hoisted at the mast-head about an hour after wards. Three more birds were despatched per steamer from this office. [PER PIGEON EXPRESS.] Gall Point, 3.45 p.m.—l arrived here just as the Miltiades got off. She went ashore shortly after one o'clock standing in shore. Galle Point is just this side of the Wade, about ftfiir m iles further down than where the Anazi grounded. The pilot was not on board. The ship was inside Tiri at daybreak. I cannot board the ship as she has not been visited by the Health Officer.

The ship touched on a sandbank. Fortunately tie Lady Bowen. en route for Hot Springs, when half-tray between Rangi toto and Tin, observed the ship ashore, and went to her assistance. She remained about one and a-half hours along- Bide, and with her assistance the vessel was Bucceeely got off. 4 p.m. / tyfat, supposed to contain the pilot, has i- the Cyphrenes for the ship.

ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY.

The production of Offenbach's lyrical ver sion of the household story of "Blue Beard" at the theatre failed to attract the audience the management might fairly have expected from the thrilling and familiar nature of the plot upon which it is founded, p.s also from the eccentricities and richness of its music. It is possibly due to the fact that this opera lacks those songs and airs which form prominent features in such operas as Satan ella, F?a Biavolo, and Maritana—and which from the frequency of their repetition have necessarily commended themselves alike to musical and non-musical ears—rather than to any want of merit in its conception that it has hitherto failed to secure alike popularity. The story itself is poetically worked out, and affords SGope for some exceedingly effective tableau. The characters are magnificently attired, ?nd the scenic effects striking. Miss Alice May enacted the rflle of Boulotte, and her appearar.ee was greeted with applause. Afl.it is ahnost a work of supererogation to offer criticism on her portrayal of character it will suffice to pay that her archness of manner coupled-with the verve with' Which she gave " See how "all those pretty hussies," and the ballad "Possessors of the magic art" secured for her another triumph. The rival of Boulotte (Fleurette) was well performed by Miss Lam bert. Mr Vetnon's ideal representation of Blue. Beard was a fair performance, while the plcbemist (Por>o]ani) received full justice at the hands of Mr Bainford. The subordinate characters were fairly sustained, and contri buted their quota to the success of the piece. To-night exira attractions are offered, the programe being Fra Diavoloand thehumour ous performance of Cox and Box.
