AKUIVAL OF THE P.S. STTTBT. The favorite Government paddle steamer Sturt, Captain Fairchild, has paid us another visit,—arriving in the Iron Pot on Tuesday last, from Auckland, via the Coast. She steamed into the Iron Pot, (under the ahlo superintendence of Assistant-Pilot Kraeft,) at her usual break-neck speed —touched the ground slightly—very slightly—as she passed the point, and, in a very few minutes, was snugly moored alongside Eoutlcdge’s Wharf—the cutter Mahia having to shove off in order to give the steamer “ inside piece.” The following particulars of the voyage of the Sturt, from Auckland, have been obligingly furnished us : Wednesday, 7th February.—A 13 p.m, left Auckland with a cargo of Commissariat stores, and 30 military settlers, who had gone up to Auckland as a guard over the Maori prisoners the Sturt took up from Opotiki, to bo re-tried for the murder of Mr Voikner, Mr Fulioon, and others on the East Coast.
