Tim Oriental Queen. — This vessel is laid on for tlie Itfiiuiitiu«i to take in cargo for London. She will sail during the first v\eck in October. We are requested to state that the luffmi? fioiii KJurvy amongst ihe fd'uilies of the pensioners had not been so great during the voyage out as the stitcment in the paragraph announcing the arrival of the vessel might imply. We are iuloimedby the Suigeon Superintendent that the first case was detected on the Ist August in lat. 38 ° S,, long. 39 ° E., when exposed to a low range of temperature, occasioning dampness between decki. On the 3rd instant, the passengers underwent a careful medical examination, when it, was found that this disease had affected ei^ht men and nineteen women, in all only twenty-seven out of two hundred and iixty souls on board ; some of thete in a very slight degiee — no very fcevere case having occuu'ed. The pensioners, however, have anived iv goo<l spirits, well pleated with their treatment on the voyage, and bearing high testimony to the kindness of their con mander, Captain Haultain, lor the considerate attention he manifested to secure die coicfort of their families since they embarked. Although, according to tho regulation under which pensioners are enrolled for service in New Zealand, none are to be taken whose age exceeds fortylive years, yet it is very apparent that several of this division, a* well as of former ones, are considerably b' yvnd that age. The Moa.— On Thursday morning last great numbers of our townspeople assembled at the shipbuilding yard of Mr. Nicol in Mechanics' Bay, and crowded on the surrounding hills, to witness the launch of Mr. W. S. Grahame's new brig, the Moa, which it wds intended should take place at high water on that mornings This creditable, and, indeed, elegant specimen of naval architecture was gaily dressed out for the occasion with flags of every hue, the one bearing her riame streaming from a jury mast amidships. Everything was neatly in readiness at the time the tide was iiigheit, but much disappointment was felt when it was known gth.it the water did not rise within a foot of the height that wai necessary to receive and float her off when launched. The launch is now postponed until fie next spring tides at full moon. Tlie Noble, store &l& l ij\ purchased a few weeks ago by Meisrs. Drown aw* Trapbell, has been taken to Freeman's Bay, where she is beached, and is to be thoroughly repaired and fitted up for tlie Californian lrrde. On her first trip slip is to be chiefly laden with timber, and wooden houses to be built and prepared here, so as to be ready for ?a'e and immediate erection al San Francisco or in the valley of the Sacramento. The Susan arrived on yesterday afternoon from Kawau; where she has been takiag in capper ore from Messrs, Ileele and Whitaker's mine. She will embalk a number of invalids of the 58th Regiment during this day, and sail for Sydney forthwith. The Pilgrim arrived at anchor last night as we were going to press. She sailed from the Downs on the 20th April, anived at Wellington on the 20th August, and saild from thence for Auckland on Friday, the 14th instant. Arrivals at Wfllington. — \ugtm 3. Sister-" brig, Clark, from Hobart Town ; 11th. .Sir C^-nlee Forbes, barque, from Sydney; IBih. Jane Catheun-, barque, from Auckland ; 20th. Pilgrim, barque, from Londoi ; 21th. Maid of Erin, brig, from Otngo ; September 9 Cornwall, barque, from Lmdon via New Plymouth and Nelson. The Jane Catherine, barque, sailed for Sydney from Wellington on the Bth instant. Information h»s been received from Queen Charlotte Sound of the loss of the ichooner Comf >rt, which sailed from this port on the 22nd instant. She was found by Mr. Toms in the Sound bottom upwards, and on putting off to her he supposed at first it was a dead whale. Th*re is every reason to fear that all hands on board, seven in number, hare perished. — Wellington Spec tator, Sept. 5.
