The Colonial Government gun-boat Luna, Cant. Fairchild, arrived in port at an oarly hour this morning. She left Auckland on the 7th inst., papers to which date are to hand by this opportunity. She will steam for Wellington this evening.

The s. a . Lord Ashley steamed for Tauranga and Auckland about 6 o'clock last evening.

The s.s. Napier took out a large load of wool to the barque Santiago. By some mischance in going out of the Iron Pot a bale of wool fell overboard, and sank before it could be recovered. The Napier leaves for Poverty Bay to-morrow. The s.s. Star of the South leaves for Auckland via the Thames this evening, conveying a- large cargo of stock, and two passengers — Messrs MclTardy and Balharry. She goes up in charge of Mr W< Palmer, and we wish her a pleasant trip. We (Nelson Evening Mail) learn that the steamer John Penn, which for a considerable time was running between Nelson and the West Coast, has been purchased by the French Government for the New Caledonia trade.

The clipper ship Charlotte Gladstone arrived at Lyttelton from London on the 30th pit, after a passage of 85 days from Gravesend.

We notice by an advertisement in the Wellington papers that those well-known steamers Wellington and Ahuriri are to be sold by public auction on the 18th of April next, unless a private offer be received and accepted before) the 3rd of that month.

An order came into effect on the Ist inst. that all Australian steame:s wjll be reported as Interprovincial and only steamers carrying |b,e English mail will be telegraphed to 1 all jjHe ports

The ship Electra, Captain George Sellars, left Wellington for London on the Ist inst., with 26,035 bales wool, 375 bales flax, 54 pkgs tallow, 596 hides, and a quantity of bones, horns, and hoofs, the estimated value of which is about £35,000. We learn from a Melbourne paper that Lieut. Parker, of the Cerberus, writes, giving a terrible description of the passage of that vessel through the Bay of Biscay. She cannot steam luore than five knots, and is a shocking sea boat. The crew are deserting by every possible chance, accepting imprisonment rather than proceed in her. The Wellington Independent, Feb. 6, says : —The ship Celseno, Captain Renant, from London, arrived in this harbor yesterday morning, at 5 o'clock, after a passage of 95 days from land to land. She was detained three weeks in the English Channel, in consequence of very heavy weather. After leaving Land's End, she experienced lignt favorable weather during the whole of the passage, until her arrival in this harbor. She brings a number of first, second, and third class passengers, under the care of Dr G-oold (formerly of Hall's Arctic Expedition) all of whom hav<) arrived in good health. Two births occurred on board, but there were no deaths. We have not yet obtained the passenger list, but the friends of Mrs Laird will be glad to learn that herself and daughter have arrived in good health, after an absence of a year and a day from Wellington. The immigrants include fifty-nine Norwegian and Swedish, sixteen Irish, and two There are twelve cabin passengers, including six nuns of the order of Our Lady of Missions, two of whom will go to Hawke's Bay, two to Nelson, and two to Christchurch. We can compliment the captain and otiicers on the neat and clean appearance noticeable throughout the vessel, and Dr G-oold on the healthy appearance of the immigrants. The vessel lies off Kaiwarra. The ship Glendower, from London to Sydney, SI clays out, was spoken, and requested to be reported. She had on board Dr Koran, Soman Catholic Bishop, from Elizabeth Town, Cape of Good Hope, and several priests and nuns, all in good health.

A late English paper says:—The Audacious, Invincible, and Vanguard, have been detained at Plymouth, by order of Admiral Sir Henry Cordington, until their stability has been ascertained. At the recent trial of one of these vessels —the Invincible —great fear was felt by both officers and men for the result. It is a fact., we believe, that she heeled over 17 degrees without a stitch of canvas on her at her last trial.
