ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP OTAKI, FROM LONDON.

The numbers of the New Zealand Shipping Company's clipper ship Otaki, 1,041 tons, Capt. H. Devitt, were run up at Mount Victoria at 7 o'clock this morning, and a telegram from the pilot station at 10 informed us she was then four miles off, and Pilot Holmes had boarded her at 8 am. The Otaki is reported as having left London on the 11th September, which thus gives her a passage of 90 days. She has beaten the Corina (left London 20th August), Alexa (left 22nd August), and Hermione (left 30th August). The Otaki will beat in this evening, and is to be berthed at the wharf at once. There are no Government immigrants on board. A telegram from the pilot station said the ship was close up to the Heads, and preparing to beat in at 2pm.
