The ship Electra, whose arrival we noticed last night, made the harbour long after dark, and brought up in the powder ground. She has made a long and tedious passage of 118 days from Gravesend. Sho has not been to this port before, but has made several trips to the South of the colony. She carries the Shaw, Savill and Co. flag, aad is consigned to Messrs Cruickshank and Co. The Electra is a neatly modelled com posite ship of 66S tons, and is in her eloventh year. She brings several passengers, all of whom arrive in good health. The following are the principal features of the voyage: Left Graves end on the 14th December. Sighted Madeira on 15th January. Crossed the Line on the Ist of February, 48 days out, the lengthy passage to this port being caused by continuous heavy S. W. gales. Carried the trades to 22° S.
