TAHITI.
By the arrival of the cutter Rose, late Will Watch, we are placed in possession of the following information: — The United States steamer Saginau had arrived there in search of the rebel cruiser Shenandoah, and having heard that the war had terminated in America, she was to leave ten days afterwards on her homeward cruise, calling at San Francisco. The barques Glimpse and Telegraph had both arrived from ftydney with coals, and disposed of their cargoes at fair rates. The cotton growing enterprise is a great success. A good crop is anticipated this year. The samples that were sent to England la9t year brought from eightyeight to ninety cents a pound in London. The plantation from which this came, now employs two thousand hands, extending over one thousand acres. Five thousand pounds of clean picked cotton are now ready for shipment. Another company having a plantation extending over a thousand acres, are also in active operation. Another company is also starting at Paporoa and Pahia, the principal of which is now in England engaging machinery, workmen, tc- N. Z. Herald.
