The Arueiri and Wanganui.— We (Wellington Independent) have had the following letter handed to ns for publication:—“ S.S. Ahuriri, Wanganui, 20th October, 1864. Sir,—At the request of Captain Linklater, the s.s. Whnganui and s.s. Ahuriri met off the bar at Wanganui two hours before they could be admitted for the purpose of trying the relative speed of the two vessels. After a trial lasting one hour and twenty minutes during which time both steamers did their utmost the result has proved beyond a doubt that either before the wind and sea, or against it, or in the river, that the Ahuriri can steam faster than the Wanganui by one knot per hour, at least. Yours, &C., H. SrUTTLEWOETR. 'lre P. N. Z. and A. ELM.
