Cabin passengers, --- Mr. and Mrs. Bolland, Mr. Phi ip Wright, Mr." Henry Go.yett. Marianne Kcay, Charles Reay, and Jane Reay. lnttr-. mediate,—Mr. and Mis. Hard v. and child, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr.' Lewis Williams, and Mr. Christopher "Wiltshire. Twenty-six bounty emigrants, and twenty-two steerage .passengers.. The vessel left Gravesend. on the 18th October, and. by stress of weather was compelled to put into Cowes," where she left on the 29th October.

Byan announcement in the " London Gazette," Auckland, Russell, and Wellington, in the Colony of New Zealand, are declared to be free ports, according to the regulations of an Act of Parliament, intituled " An Act to regulate the Trade of British Possessions abroad."

The "Westminster," barque, is hourly expected, with emigrants, direct from London to Auckland. Charles Perry, Esq., so well known to the settlers in Au klahd, will be a cabin passenger.

. We have London papers to the date of che " Union" leaving Cowes, but later intelligence has been received by the " Glenverbie," at Sydney, and the "King William,"-at Hobart Town. Her 'Majesty was about to honor Ireland with a visit, and preparations on a grand scale were taking place .at some of the principal mansions in Ireland for her reception, especially by the Duke of Leinster, Lord Powerscourt, and the Marquis of Sligo. Sinae the late visit to Scotland all London is arrayed in tartan. The treaty with Ameri a, the policy cf Sir Char es" Bagot , in / 'Canada, and," the trials of rioters, form the 'principal topics of discussion in the English journas. Several of the rioters have been sentenced to transportation, many ha*e been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, and very few acquitted. Si; Charles Bagot had tried the conciliatory plan in Canada, by a searching change in the policy of the country. Several of the ultra Tory members had been removed from the executive, and their places tilled by persons of the French or liberal partyM... Lafmtaine wos made Attorney Genera'. M. Girouard. who had been imprisoned,' and for whose apprehension a reWard of £SOO had been paid, was offered the Commissionership of Crown Lands. Mr. Ayl win, a thorough Liberal, and Mr. Baldwin, who had been engaged in the insurrection, had both joined the government. An address to the governor was in consequence carried by a majority of fiftyfive" to two. The American treaty has, on the whole, given satisfaction rather than otherwise.

The King of Hanover still remained in a very precarious state. A question had been broached, whether the b'indijess of the Crown Prince will not incapacitate him from the succession. The " Dublin," barque, 492 tons. Duniam, the " Triphena," brig-, 131 tons, Horn, and the " Bristofian,"' brig, IG7 tons, King* were laid on at Sydney, for Auckland. ■
