The St. Michael left London the 3rd, Gravesend the sth, and the Downs the 7th September, making the passage in one hundred and twenty three days. She experienced a succeision of calms, until she arrived off the Cape of Good Hope, from whence she had good weather. She spoke no vessel connected with these oclonies. There is no news whatever by this armal of the Richard Dart. The Moa has made an excellent passage, at this,senson, of eleven days. She sailed on the 28th ult., from Sydney. Two /vessels (the Artemisia, from Plymouth, the 11th, and the Blonde, from Gravesend, the 19th of September) arrived on the evening before the Moa sailed, but it was so late when the mails were delivered at the Post Office, that there was not time it appears to forward the Auckland share of it per Moa. The Moa was signalled at suniet on Monday evening but the wind being oontrary she anchored outside Rangitoto reef for the night. She was pasted yesterday morning by the St. Michael, and as toon as the tide answered she got under weigh, and entered the heads tome time after that barque. The wind was foul for both vessels, and tluy were obliged to beat up the harbour in company, and never was there a prettier tailing match witnessed on the Waitemata. A large concoune of ipectators congregated at the Church gate in Princes«street, and watched with eagerness the movements of the stranger vesiel and our Auckland brig returning home after her first trip. The barque having the start, and being well handled by Mr. Cross, the pilot, kept to windward of the britf on every board, until they reached off Point Brito* mart, when the Moa, on the starboard tack, shot far ahead towards Shoal Bay, and rounding quickly came to her anchorage leaving the barque astern whers the anchored shortly after. Th« unpremeditated race was well contested by both vessels. The St. Michael is a new and handsome barque ; but the Moa is cer» tainly a beauty — her proportions were exhibited to great advantage on yesterday morning. Intelligence has reached Auckland of the total wreck of the Government schooner Albert, at Mercury Bay, during the gales of the last month. She was standing out to sea from a lee shore, after a heavy galo, when suddenly the wind lulled, leaving a heavy swell, by which she was carried in shore and dashed to pieces on the rocks. The hands all escaped with much difficulty. The Albert was engaged ou survey service, under the command of Mr, J. C. Smith, of H.M. Steamer Acheron, when the occurrence took place. The schooner Providence, Capt James, has also been totally wrecked near Tauranga, about the same time the Albert was lost.

California Shipping.— The barque Volunteer, hence the 24th May, had arrived at Monterey, where the crew deserted, and the passengeri had been compelled to walk overland to San Francisco. Upon this being made known, H. M. S. Inconstant despatched some of her men to take her on. The schooner Union has arrived at California from Port Philip, and was to leave for Sydney on the Ist November. The barque William Watson from Port Phillip had arrived at San Francisco, and would lail for Valparaiio in a tew days. The brig, Regia, hence via San Francisco, left Honolulu for Shanghai, on the 6th November. The Star of China, and Elizabeth Archer, from Sydney, arrived at San Francisco on the 10th Notember. The brig Margaret and Giraffe were at Oahu on the 6th of November. The Coquette left the Sandwich lilands for California on the 10th November.
