(agents.) 6—Lord Ashley, s.s., 296 tons, Worsp, for Aucklaud, with 5 cases and 6 casks meat, Eoutledge, Kennedy and Co, (agents.) Arrival of the s.s. Lord Ashley. The Circular Saw Line s.s. Lord Ashley, Captain Worsp, left Wellington wharf at 3.20 p.m. on Wednesday, May 5; rounded Cape Palliser at G. 30 p.m.; Cape Turnagamat4a.m. on the Gth; Cape Kidnapper at 11.15 a.m.; and brought up in the roads here at 1 p.m. on Thursday last. Very

heavy westerly gale was experienced throughout the passage, with tremendous sea; —the vessel shipping large quantities of water both fore and aft. The Ashley brought up a small general cargo for this port, and a few passengers ; and steamed for Auckland at 6 p.m. same day with a number of passengers. This fine steamer may be expected to return to Napier on Saturday next, 15th inst., and is announced to steam for Wellington shortly after arrival.

Arrival of the s.s. St. Kilda. The Colonial Government gun-boat St. Kilda, Captain G. Pox, arrived in port about 4 p.m. on Thursday last, May 6, from Wairoa. Since her last visit to this port, the St. Kilda has been busily employed collecting friendly natives along the coast, for the purpose of taking the field with Col. Whitmore's forces; her movements, however, have been greatly delayed owing to the recent boisterous weather. We learn that 50 of the Ngatiporou natives have been landed at Poverty Bay, and 120 of the same tribe under Major llopata at Wairoa. The St. Kilda steamed for Wairoa and Poverty Bay early this morning. She may, we learn, be expected to return to Napier in two or three days.

Arrival of the p.s. Lyttelton.

The p.s. Lyttelton, Captain Scott, put in an appearance on Thursday afternoon last, shortly after the St. Kilda. She left Clyde at 10 p.m. on Tuesday last, and got down as far as the heads, but owhvr to the heavy sea on the bar, could not get out of the river ; she then returned to the township. Left again at 10.30 a.m. on Thursday last, and arrived here at 4.30 p.m. Captain Scott reports the bar at Wairoa in a good state—6 feet of water at low tide. The Lyttelton steamed for Wallington at 5 p.m. on Friday last.

Arrival of the schooner Saucy Lass. The schooner Saucy Lass, so long a favorite iu these waters, arrived here on Friday last, with a cargo of timber and shingles, after another of those splendid passages for which she lias become so noted. She left Auckland on the 20th April, arrived at Mercury Bay on the 22nd, and took in cargo, and left on the Ist May for Mahurangi, arriving there on the 3rd; landed Captain M'Kenzie (her owner), and left for Napier at 4< a.m. on the 4th. Rounded the East Cape at 4> a.m. on the sth ; Portland Island at 4 a.m. on the 6th ; and arrived in port at noon on Friday last, 7th inst. The Saucy Lass is now commanded by Captain Kenneth M'Gregor, her former mate, —Capt. D. H. M'Kenzie having remained behind in order to take charge of a brigantine which he is having built, and the launch of which was expected to take place sometime last week. This vessel, we learn, is intended to be put on the trade—now so rapidly increasing—between Auckland and the Islands of the South Sea.

Arrival of the brigautine Esther. The brigantine Esther, Captain James Campbell, left Wellington on Tuesday last, 4-th May, with light N.W. wind. At noon on the sth passed Castle Point with strong gale. At 8 p.m. passed Blackhead ; had light winds from thence till arrival in port at 7 p.m. on Friday last; entered the Iron Pot next evening, and was moored alongside Watt Brothers' wharf. The Esther brings a full general cargo.

Telegraphic Shipping. PORT CHALMERS. Arrived.—May 6, Wellington, from Lyttelton; 8, Airedale, from Lyttelton Sailed. —May 6, Lady Bellewn, for Callao; 7, Warrior Queen, ship, for Loudon; 8, Lady Egidia, ship, for London

Miscellaneous. By late English papers we learn that the ship Undaunted, 805 tons, Captain Grierson, was loading at London for Otago, Napier, and Aucklaud. We inadvertently omitted to mention the above in an earlier number. The s.s. Ahuriri steamed for Auckland at 2 p.m. on Thursday last, with 139 bales wool, 200 sheep, 42 pigs, and 9 passengers. The schooner Jane Anderson, in ballast, sailed for Pelorus Sound on Friday evening last. The s.s. Star of the South, from Auckland, may be expected to arrive here about Saturday or Sunday next. The cutter Glimpse arrived in port on Saturday last, from Wellington, with a general cargo, in part transhipped ex Cambodia from I/ondon. The schooner Hero and cutter Greenwich, hence, both arrived at Wairoa on Thursday last, — the former entering the river at 9 a.m., and the latter at 10 a.m. The p.s. Lyttelton, hence on Friday last, had not reached Wellington up to yesterday evening. The p.s. Sturt is probably at Wairoa at the present time. Should she be short of coals the Start will, we learn, steam for Napier on arrival of the St. Kilda at Wairoa. H.M.S. Blanche, Capt. Montgomerie, left port at an early hour on Friday morning last, bound for Kawau via Tauranga. Lieut. Woods, Marine Surveyor—who was a passenger from Wellington by the Lord Ashley on Thursday—proceeded in the Blanche. That officer, we learn, is under orders to execute a survey of some part of the coast near Tauranga. After landing Lieut. Woods at the last-named place, the Blanche will proceed to Kawau, to join the squadron which will assemble there shortlv.
