The passage of the Victoria to Auckland was very boisterous, and extended over ten days, in consequence of which 20 of the sheep were lost, and the market had fallen on their arrival, as they failed to realise over 18s. per head. We understand that the rams brought down by Mr. Harding will bo a valuable acquisition to the province, being of pure Merino blood, and the progeny of a flock introduced by tlie late Mr. Schroder from Queensland. They arc 33 in number, of a superior wool, fine and long staple, and have arrived in excellent condition.—There is reason to fear that a fire had broken out near Auckland at the time of the Victoria’s leaving, as the alarm of the fire hell was distinctly heard on board, and from the fact of a dense body of smoke being seen to ascend in the neighborhood of Newtown at the same time, it is to bo feared that that was the district visited by the calamity. We fear there is too much truth in tiro rumour that the schooner that was seen, bottom up, in the Bay of Plenty, was flic schooner Hole Star, from Auckland, for Napier. No tidings have been heard of her since her departure.— Daily Southern Cross, May 3. The ss Queen, Capt. D. Pole, arrived in the Manukau from the Southern Settlements as we reported yesterday on 29th and immediately landed cer mails. This vessel, as our readers are aware, has been taken up for the West Coast service of our inter-colonial communication with the Southern Settlements, for which she seems n craft in every

way well adapted—handy, Weatherly, and wellcommanded—and will we have no doubt do good service, not only to the state, but to every interest in which our colonists are concerned. The Queen left Melbourne on the 12th inst., with the English wails, since then she has taken up her station as the mail steamer on the West Coast line, and judging from the reports of the passengers who have come up in her, we have no hesitation in stating that one of the most comfortable boats in the colony can now be made available far a passage to the South. To those who have business to transact in Now Plymouth and Nelson, and then proceed to Sydney, this is a great boon. Although Capt. Pole comes amongst ns as a stranger, yet it must be very satisfactory to our colonists, and not less gratifying to him, to find that he is well and favorably known to some of our oldest settlers as a good seaman and a thorough gentleman, and one whose experience of steamers in these colonies is not of yesterday lie reports having experienced a very heavy northerly gale between New Plymouth and Manukau, the barometer on the 28th inst., falling to 28'75. A very heavy bar was crossed on entering the Manukau, one which a stranger would not quite choose to make liis entrance over for the fisst time, but Captain Pole had no hesitation in crossing it, and reached his anchorage safely. The Queen sails again on Monday for the South, calling at all the Ports.— Daily Southern Cross, May 31. The Queen steamer, with the English Mail, arrived at Port Chalmers on Monday afternoon, having left Melbourne on the evening of Monday week. During the passage she had heavy weather, hut was favored with a strong fair wind, and made tin? 'passage with only half-steam on during most of the time. Deports having passed (he AUVwga at -i pm., on Sunday, about 15 miles west of Stewart s Island. The Queen received the mails from the 2~oriham on Saturday evening, that vessel having reached Hobson’s Pay at four in (he afternoon. The Xorlham made a fine passage throughout having left Galle on the 20th ult., and proceeded without, delay, except for a few hours, when it was found necessary to stop her engines for some hours owing to a defect in her machinery. The Queen is not, likely to leave for the Northern ports until Wednesday morning. Some of her passengers for Dunedin came out by the Xorlhatn on her present voyage.— Otago Daily Times May 20.
