Sailed —The whaling barque Splendid. FIJI NEWS. Auckland, October 27. Arrived, schooner Pearl from Fiji. She brings a special despatch announcing that the cession of the islands has been effected. The British flag was hoisted on the 10th of October. The cession took place on the 30th September, at Nasova, situated a quarter of a mile from Levuka. Maafu, who stands next to the King, has not yet decided as to what course he will adopt, but it is believed he will offer little or no opposition. Sir Hercules, after the ceremony of ces-ion had taken place, requested that ths government of the islands should be carried on (until his return from the Windward Islands, where Maafu resides) in the same manner as previously. Great fears are entertained regarding the safety of the fore and aft schooner Ivanhoe, which left Auckland on August 26th, for Levuka, and there are no tidings of her since She is owned by Messrs Cruickshank and Co. She is insured, for £KTO, and is valued at £IOOO,
