DEPARTURE OF THE CITY OF AUCKLAND.
This fine ship got under weigh this morning, at nine o'clock, and dropped down harbour v«ith a light S.W. breeze. As she left her moorings, three cheers were given by the crew of the Queen Bee, and heartily responded to by those on the City. After rounding the heads, the breeze freshened, aud before morning we have no doubt the City will be clear of the land.
