The s.s. Rangatira may bo looked for tomorrow from Wellington, and will return to that port on Thursday. We learn that the s.s.

She will bring a cargo of timber, firewood, and shingles. The clipper ship Countess of Kin tore i 3 announced to leave Auckland for London direct pn the 4th prox. The Auckland Evening New?, December 6, pays : —The good ship Aboukir will leave for London on the 10th instant, with one of the largest and most valuable cargoes henco this season. Her passenger accommodation is of first-class quality and is nearly all engaged. The vessel could not possibly be in better trim for the vcyage home than sh-3 is at present, and there is nothing to hinder this favorite ship from making a quick and pleasant passage. The Srdrspy Empire of the 28th ult. saj3 : : —H.M.S. Clio, Commodore Stirling, wilt leave Port Jackson on Thursday next on a cruise. The Clio, on her return from hence, proceeds direct to Auckland, where she will find the Galatea. On her departure from Auckland the Clio will visit the Pacific Islands, and it is probable that the cruise will occupy a period of between eight aad nine months." The Cerberus, intended for the defence of Melbourne, has given rise to as many rumors pnd newspaper paragraphs during the past month as all other the "colonial topics" put together. Upon receipt of news of the loss pf the Captain, it was said that the crew nepessary for her navigation to the colonies pould not be obtained in consequence of men having a disinclination to sail in a "turret ship." It is satisfactory to announce, however, that the delay in obtaining a crew has arisen, pot from the disinclination of the sailors, but from the determination of her Commander, Lieutenant Panter, E.N., to accept thoroughly good men only. Ah the men have been eu» gaged at ordinary London wages rate. Her final departure from England was to have taken place on or about the 12th of October.
