The Two Friendt Bailed from San Francisco on the 9th December last. She has made the paisnge in 56 dayi, touching at no other port on her way. She if porti the arrival of the Inchmnan and Ennerdale, buques, uuri Osprey, three*maited schooner, from thu port. There were about 300 vessels riding at anchor in the port, but many were getting away. Captiini and crewi wUo bad deierted their voiieli lor the mm •

were getting tired of the fatigues of gold * digging, nnd returning to the port. Her Majesty's Ship Inconstant had arrived from Valparaiso, and had enabled several British vessels to get away from San Francisco, by putting crews on board of them from her own hands. Six steamer* were plying on the Sacramento, and business by water as well at land was very brisk. Several vessels may be daily expected for cargoes of our produce. Tiioie vesseli that had arrived, and the numerous others that have sailed, and would be dropping in with quick succession from this colony, with their rich and welcome cargoes, would no doubt bring New Zeal nd into more than uu ordinary share of notice at California. The Diana, schooner, arrived at Manukau from Taranaki on yesterday evening, bringing intelligence of the arrival at Wellington on the 23rd ult., of the Mooltan from the Clyde the 11th September, and the Pc/cm fiom London. The Moultan was bound for Calcutta. The Pcltiti had left Wellington for Nelson to load with wool, where the JVoodstoch was also loading a similar cargo. 11. M, S. Acheron and Fly were at Wellington on the 29 h ult. H. M. S. Havannah arrived at Taranaki on the 26th ult. from Sydney and proceeded to Wellington the following day. The Berkshire arrived at Taranaki on the 21st utt;, after a passage of 109 days from London. She sailed a few days afterwards for Nelson Several of her pas. sengers have settled at Taranaki. The Government brig left Taranaki on the 10th ult. for Wellington where she arrived on the 27th. Passengers : two Misses Fox (sisters of the New Zealand Company's Ageut) who had come out in thejtferrti/ure. The Victoria sailed again on the Tuesday following from Wellington for Taranaki, with Lieut.-Governor Eyre, Mr. Ormond, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Berrey, Rev. Mr, Cole, and Miss Hunter, and armed on the 30th ultimo, A 6tnall cutter running from^Wellington to Taranaki and several of the southern ports, called the William Sf James, had, on her trip to Nelion, been seized by the crew, and the captain sent adrift in the dingy— the object of the pirates being to proceed with the vessrl to California. The captain pulled to Queen Charlotte's Sound, and gave information to Mr. Thorns, the manager of a whaling station there. Two boats wero manned and chase, was given to the pirates, who were overtaken, and the vessel recaptured. The crew were given into the custody of the authorities at Wellington, and were committed for trial. The Edward Stanley, schooner, had been bit in Croixille's Ha hour. She was caught in a squall and blown over — all hands narrowly escaped. The Thames was lo«ding at Wellington for California —but up to the 20th ult. there were no passages taken. The fine new ship Moultan, from the Clyde, arrived here on Wednesday, the 26th instant, after a run of 106 days. On leaving Greenock she had 151 passengers ou board ; but lost nine from au epidemic, similar to the cholera, which broke out during the passage, and six from various other causes ; reducing the original number to 143, all of whom, with two exceptions, are for this place.— Otago News, Dec. 29. The Greyhound has been hauled up to Mechanics' Bay. The injury sustained is not very great, but we understand she is to be sold immediately. A sail in sight was signalled at sundown.
