During the paisige, about ten o'clock at night, one of the bo>s fell overboard from the foietop, while the vessel was running at niue knots ; but by the alacrity and presence of mind of Captain Buck. a. boat was quickly lowered and the b^y picked up a Ion; way astern of the vessel. — The William <J* James, schooner, and the barque Symmetry were loading for Auckland when the Wesley left. — The Moa was t> sail on ihe 26th ult., and may be expected on Monday or Tuesday next ; she is new commanded by Ciptam Norris.— The barque Reaper has besn chartered by Dr. Forbes, to proceed to Crilt-for-iia, and will call at Auckland on her way,— H.M.B.

She is intended expressly for the trade between this and Auckland ; is very sul stantial'y built, on a) scale to carry a large cargo for her tonnage ; and no ex pense has bfen spared to render the accommodations for passengers commodious. — Sydney Herald, Dec. 8.
