BAY OF ISLANDS.

His Excellency the Governor sailed for the Bay of Islands on Sunday last, in the Hon. I2.LC.S. Etyhimtone. During the week there has been intelligence thence, but not subsequent to his arrival. The camp had been broken up,' and the troops, seven hundred in number, with three hundred seamen had reached within nine miles of Kawiti's pah. When the Elphinstone should arrive, it was anticipated that seamen from her and the Castor would join the forces, and active operations commence. It was reported that a steamer was seen in the offing from the Bay, but there is no authentic information of the fact. The Bandicoot arrived on Sunday last from HobartTown, and by papers and letters from that port we learn that the Ramities, barque, 700 tons. Captain A. Maclean, had arrived there on the 25th November from England, which she left on the sth August, and the English channel on the 14th, with the remainder of the 11th Uegt., and one company of Artillery, under command of Captain W.
