AERIYAL OF THE STAR QUEEN, BARQUE, FROM NEW YORK, U.S. This vessel was signalled on Friday afternoon, and ran up the harbor that night, anchoring off the breakwater. On boarding her we found ehe was a smart little vessel of 264 tons register. She is an English vessel belonging to Salcombe, and was built in 1806. The passage from New York has been a very favorable one, the time, only ninety-six days, being very good lor such a small vessel. Part of her cargo is for this port, the rest being for Auckland; it consists of Yankee notions, kerosene. &c, and is consigned to Messrs Dalgety, Nichols and Co. The following is the captain’s report:—The barque Star Queen left New York on Saturday, April 15th, with light variable winds, which continued till the 20th, when a S.W. wind sprang up, lasting for several days; fell in with the N.E. trades in lat 30 N. long 40.3 W. on the 36th; these trades lasted till the sth May, when the barque was in lat 4 N. 30 W.; crossed the equator on May 10th in long 30 W.; caught S,E. trades in 2 S. on 12th, they were moderate in strength, and left the vessel on the 18th May in lat 18 S. 34 W ; had moderate variable winds to reaching meridian of Cape in 42 S- on June 6th, having sighted Tristan d’Acunha on June Ist; ran down eastings in 48 and 49 S, and had fresh westerly winds to sighting Snares on July 16th, thence had light airs and calms up the coast, making the heads on Thursday at 3 a.m, but owing to calms lay outside till Friday night, when a fresh southerly breeze sprang up, against which the vessel beat up harbor, coming to an anchorage at midnight, She was moored at the No 2 wharf yesterday afternoon to discharge that portion of her cargo (about 160 tons) which Is for this port, after which she sails for Auckland with the remainder.
