Tiik s.s. Wellington, Captain Holmes, arrived in port at 6 o'clock on Monday morning last, after another smart passage from Auckland—having been only 37 hours on the run down. She left Auckland at 5 p.m. on Saturday, 30tu ult.; rounded the East Cape on Sunday, at 2 p.m., and brought up in Ahuriii roads as above—light head winds and fine weather having been experienced throughout. A throe-masted schooner was passed on" Cape Runaway, supposed to be the Little Fred, which loft Auckland for Napier on the 27th ult. Wo have to express our indebtedness to Mr 0. D. Moss, the purser, for the prompt delivery of our files and parcels. The Wellington took her departure for Wellington and Southern Ports at 2.30 p.m. on Mori'lay last. The s.s. Storm Turd, Captain J\ Doile, arrived in port at 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, with the English Mails via Suez and Panama. She left Wellington at 6 p.m. on Monday; experienced light variable, winds, with thiolt weather and heavy

rain, arriving in port as above. Captain Doile reports that wnen off Capo Turhagain at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, he saw a large brigantinei who wished to he reported at Llyod's, and when asked what ship refused to give her name. The Storm Bird left for Wellington via Blackhead at a' late hour last night, with 17 casks tallow for the former port, and sundries for Blackhead. She will load wool on the -coast, ' . \ ; . - '■■",. ' "The schooner Muriwai, Win, Jones, master, left Wairoa at 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning, in company with the schooner Hero, and arrived in port at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, bringing a cargo of maize, fruit, &c, and 5 passengers. The Muriwai has been just upon a mouth abseut from this port, two-tl)irds of which time has been spent in the Wairoa river, in company with the Hero—owing to the state or the bar. : The Muriwai leaves again for Wairoa. to-night. The schooner Hero left Wairoa in company with the Muriwai on Tuesday morning. She attempted to go into Waihua, hut could not owing to the heavy sea; therefore stood on, and went into Mo-! haica to load. She may be expected here to-day. ! The brig Maggie, Captain Arnold, took her departure for Newcastle, N.S.W., on Tuesday last at 4 p.m.. with i casks tallow, 121 ox hides, 10 calf skins, and 2 passengers. Tho barque William Cargill left Plymouth for this port on the 6th November, consequently she is iiow 89 days at sea. Our previous information —that she had left on the 15th of October—must, therefore, havo been incorrect; unless, indeed, having left Deal, she had to put into Plymouth. The schooners K!auri and Jubilee, hence the 27th ult., with wool, do not appear to have arrived at Wellington up to the evening of the Ist February. ■ The barque Excelsior, Captain Wood, will, we learn, leave for London direct on or about Saturday next, 6th February.

The ship Ida Zeigler is fast filling up, and may be expected to leave for London in a week or ten days, with a full and valuable cargo.

The s.s. Phoebe, it is said, is likely to be chartered to convoy to Auckland the detachment of the 18th Itegiinent, at present stationed in Napier. The Colonial Government gun-boat St. Kilda, hence the 30 th ult., at 11 a.m., arrived at Wellington at noon on the Ist February.

The three-masted schooner Little Fred, Captain Davis, left Auckland for this port on the evening of the 27th ult, with 150 tons coal. She may, therefore, be looked for daily. The Auckland Anniversary Regatta came off on the 29th January, and was a great success. The race for trading vessels over 20 tons—which is described as being a very pretty sight—was won by the schooner Aurora; the schooner Coquette was second; and the cutter Sovereign of the Seasi third, Four other vessels started, but were no-! where at the finish. A stiff breeze was blowing throughout the day. The New Zealand Herald, 21st January, regrets to havo to notice the death of Captain Eugene Hay met, of the schooner Kate Grant, who expired at his residence, Grey-Street, on the previous day, after a short illness, aged 53 years. The Wanganui Times, 28th January, contains the following paragraph-.-Yesterday morning the foremast himds of the s.s. ltangatira struck work and came ashore. The cause of complaint was that they were overworked. It appears that the crew were turued-to at an early hour, and were not allowed time to get their breakfasts ; hence the strike, As the Rangatira was cleared out to proceed to Manukau in the evening, it was found impossible to ship another crew in Wanganui iu so short a space of time, but during the afternoon the agent smoothed over matters with the men, and they returned on board to their duty. The Rangatira proceeded on her voyage at the appointed time.
