Port Chalmers July 23: The ship Pomona, which was here last year, Arrived
to-day, from London, after a passage of 92 days from port to port. It was
uneventful ; average winds and weather prevailed to the Cape, and thence very
good westerlies. She has nearly 2000 tons of cargo, chiefly measurement goods.

ARRIVAL OF THE POMONA. For once, supposition was correct ; the ship sighted on
Sunday to the northward of the port has proved to be the Pomona,
from London, on her second voyage to this port, and still commanded by Captain
Tannock. She worked up to the Heads betimes on the 23rd inst., and was towed in
by the Koputai by 2 p.m. Having seven tons of powder on board, she was
anchored in the usual place below the shipping, and was there boarded by the
Customs officials, and others interested in her. The Pomona comes into
port in good order all over, and has made a reasonably good passage of 92 days
from port to port, and 84 days from land to land. But for the light weather met
with on this coast after the land was made, the Pomona would have kept
considerably within the 90 days. She has brought nearly 2000 tons of cargo, but
as it consists almost entirely of measurement goods, the ship shows a good side
to it, and is in excellent trim otherwise.
