She encountered very severe weather, with easterly gales.— Her mail consisted of only a tew letters, as the Juno steamer which sailed the day he fore, had taken on board the Sydney mnil from the dateoftheil/auftn'j departure- The Fcbruaty English mail had not arrived although overdue. The Juno has now been twenty days from Sydney, and much anxiety prevails concerning her. It in' supposed that she may have put in at the Bay of Islands, to land some of her sheep. The Pcstonjce Btmaujcc, was to follow the Thomas Lowry with the second division of the 58th regt., in about ten days. The schooner John Still had not arrived at Sydney when the Thomas Lowry sailed. H.M.B. Dido, has brought no mail from India, she relieves the Castor, which will sail for England diiect, ou Wednesday next. Captain Maxwell takes command of this station, being senior to Captain Stanley of the Calliope. The MauhiH sails this morning for Mercury Bay, to remove a steam engine from thence to Kawau. she is advertised to sail for Sydney on Monday the 12th iust. The schooner Man ford arrived at Port Nicholson on the 20th ult., with a cargo of ooals. The Falcon, which arrived last night from Tahiti, after a passage of thirty-eight days, reports all was quiet there when she sailed. JJueen Pomare was residing with Governor Bruat, but a new lesidence was to be erected for her adjoining the Government House. Since her return to Tahiti, several fetes had been given by the Governor, rmd one on an extensive scale was to take place on the Ist May, in honour of Louis Philippe's birth-day. The Dauae, 50-gun frigate, and the AUier transport, had arrived with 600 troops ; the Loire and Seme, with the new Governor and a l»r«t! number of troops, were also daily expected from Valparaiso. Ihe Mitt and Alticr, transports, had sailed for France with a number ot troops, who had been for some time stationed there, and more would proceed in the Dauae the day alter the Falcon sailed. H. M.S. Qntmjnu, Capt. Martin, sailed for the Leeward Islands about the 2 1st April, on a cruise, and would return to Tahiti in the couisc of a month. Tlie schooner Coquette, hence, via Mew Zealand, arrived at Tahiti about the Bth April, and sailed lor the Leeward Islands on the 21st of the same month. The schooner Ann, Rogers, hence, via New Zealand, arrived there on the 20th April. 'I he barque Janet, had arrived from Hokianga. New Zealand, with a cargo of timber. This vessel had sprung a leak shortly after leaving Hokianga, and made at one time seven feet and a half water. On her arrival at Tahiti, a charge was preferred against Capt. Dring, for bad treatment of his Lascar crew, which was heard before Captain Martin, on board H.M.tj. Grampus, but owing to the want of an interpreter, the case cuuhi not be pioperly investigated. The master, however, we understand, received a severe reprimand from Captain Martin. The French schooner Ann, Dunham, hence, had ariived at Tahiti, after a seventy days' passage. The day following her departure from Sydney, she sprung her lower masts in a heavy gale ot wind, and having experienced very bad weather the whole of the voyage, bhe had arrived almost a complete wreck. The Falcon reports having spoken the brig Portenia on the S2nd May, in lat. 26*47 »., long. 16JV23 E., hence for the New Hebrides, all well.— Sydney Herald, June 5. The Tim PicAcnng, arrived at Sydney on the Ist ot * June, having sailed From Salem on the 3rd November las>t, ou a beche-la-mer voyage, and arrived at the Fegee Islands early in April. On the 23id of that month, however, in working out the passage northward ot Ooiubu Islands, was set by the tide on a shoal, -where bhe remained forty-eight hours, and got oIF with loss of forefoot, copper hheathiug, anchors, chains, &c. ; to repair whicli she has come on to Sydney. She left there the American barques Zotoff, Pilot, Auckland, brig Charles IVigram, and schoouers Warwick and Venus i also, the Hohart Town schooner Sir John Franklin ; all of which were engaged in the becheln-mer tishcry, in which they had been very successful. The natives at the Fegees were at war among themselves, and were very much adverse to a permanent settlement of the whites there, who were generally attacked whenever found defenceless. Most of the whites resident there are British subjects, and chiefly of a better class than those usually found on the isles of the Pacific . They have a number of small vessels, with which they carry on a trade. Several churches and schools have been erected by them, and we are happy to say Lie labouis ol the missionaries, under the superintendence of the Rev. Mr. Hunt, are producing the best e/fects.— Sydney Herald, June 2.
