The Sarah, brig, arrived at Kawau on Thunday morning, nf'er a passage of iixteen days from Newcastle. The brig Emma, from AiicUand th» 23rd April, was off Sydney Heads on the morning of the 3rd instant. The Lady Hervey, bri<j, Hay, arrrred at Launceston from Auckland, on the 2 1st April.
The schooner Arabia, which sailed from this port on the 23rd of January, arrived at Honolulu on the 22nd of March, the voyage to that port having been protracted by strong north-east winds, encountered after crossing the line. Her original destination was San Francisco; but after she had reached the latitude of the Society Islands the worm appeared in a portion of the potatoes, wdich formed a principal part of her cargo, and it was deemed expedient to put into Honolulu, where they found a ready sale, a great many whalers being then in that port refreshing before proceeding to Bhering's Straits. The potatoes sold for from three to four cents per lb.,— a price which it was deemed better to secure there, than to incur the great risk of further damage, and the certainty of high port and other charges, by going on to San Francisco. Indeed it is probable that so much of the potatoes were saved only because she sailed so soon, and there is reason to apprehend serious loss on those shipped at a later date;— the potato cargo of the Helen S Page is known to have been found destroyed on examination at Tahiti, and it may be feared that, unless barley and some other exports should (as it is likely they would) pay well, these enterprises must be far less successful than we could wish. The onions of the Arabia kept well, and sold at fourteen cents per lb. She sailed from Honolulu on the 11th of April, and on the 25th (only fourteen days) arrived at the Navigators Islands. At Upolu war was raging amongst the Natives, and the Missionaries were hastening from the neighbouring Islands to use their influence for its suppression. The Arabia left Massacre Bay on the 30th of April, and arrived in this port on Wednesday last, having experienced strong southerly winds since the 6th instant. Amongst her passengers was Hugh Carleton, Esq., whom we feel unaffected pleasure in cordially welcoming back amongst us again. On the 13th of April, the Arabia spoke, in lat. 15° 38" North, long, 159° 23" West, a schooner from Auckland, believed to be the Lightning, out 49 days. She appealed to be making for Honolulu or San Francisco, but was so far to the westward, that she could scarcely gain the former port unless the wind changed. The barque Robert Stewart, from London for San Francisco, out ten months, put into Honolulu leaky and with most of her crew affected with scurvy. Her cargo, consisting principally of coal, was discharged there. A survey was held on the vessel, and she was condemned. The ship Emerald Isle, Holt, from Sydney the 17th of January for San Francisco, with 260 passengers,
put into Honolulu on the 7th of April. Having been unable to obtain a clearance at Sydney, she had sailed without it, leaving behind several who intended to be her passengers, and taking some who were far from intending to go to California, amongst whom was Mr. Edenbrough, of the Customs, who has arrived here in the Arabia, on his way back to Sydney. The brig Giraffe, of Sydney, was at Honolulu, whence she was to sail for San Francisco on the 15th instant. The barque Elizabeth Archer, Cobb, from Sydney was also at that port, and was about to proceed to Valparaiso. She had been chartered at Honolulu to proceed to New South Wales for a cargo of coals. She proceeded to Newcastle, took on board the coals, and on her way back to Honolulu called at Tahiti for water. On her arrival at Honolulu coals were of little value there, the market being glutted, and the charterers, to get rid of the charter party, objected to take the coals because the vessel called at Tahiti instead of proceeding direct. The Gladiator whaler, Turner, put into Honolulu on the 21st of March. She had left Hicks' Bay, East Cape, New Zealand, on the 24th of January, having on board about ten tons of potatoes, not one of which was fit for use on her arrival. A considerable quantity of potatoes brought by another whaler from the Bay of Islands, were also entirely destroyed before she arrived in the latitude of Tahiti. These facts had raised a prejudice amongst the shipping against the New Zealand potatoes. The brig Ark, from Newcastle, for San Francisco, put in at Honolulu on the 8th April, leaky. A survey was held on her, nnd the was to be condemned. The Honolulu market is now attracting the attention of shippers in these colonies so much more than formerly, that it may be acceptable to them to be informed of the prices of the principal articles there at the latest dates. The following, from a list drawn up by the Secretary to the Chamber of Commerce, may of course be deemed fully trustworthy:—
