Tub Survey of the lloicia.ng\. — By accounts recently icceived, we li am »hat H M. S. I'lMulom, Capt. Otuiy, ainvcct m the liver on the 7th ult., after a fine urn of four days fi om this port cross ng the b r under most favouiable ciieumstances, after a westeily gale had taken oil". Mi. Ilich.iuls {m isk-r) nnd |.aiiy w! o pioeeeded by 1 md fn'in Monu;anui to n.ioe the Noillit'in Coast Lino, dom that h.'ibou to Ilovianga, joined tl<p Fnuloiaon the d i.y of liei aiiival, bavng accomplished tlu j n fat'gumg journey in safety. (Jii nirival Capt. Diuiy mmie'lintcly commenced his lm portant seivice-. and aided by the favomable state of the weather gieat progie'is had been made in the Biuvey of ih" mouth -md bar of the ruer. The importance to the ( olony of the services being petformed by ill's vessel, can suaieely be ovei esfmated, and we look with ni'ich mieiest to their results. From the high chaiaUet of her commander and officets, and the elilciencv of ihe crew, we may naturally antic-pate a mote v lUiahlc addition to our knowledge of the coasts and harboi is they aie to suivey, than any we have had m the Is 01 them I -land since that of the Waitemata w is peifoimed. The ship Ca^hmnn h>s had ]ie> hm!. 7^ mishipp 0 !!, iind Cdjittui iVacin .. <j itic|;iid 'O le^rn luts succech d in cony letel} lemtdji q the defec in it winch • < aused so much uneasiness on lioaid on the outward p •>.<-, >gr> i?he pioceecK to AVelimginn in the couise of ne\t week alttr which she goes to Kiapaia, to load spais for iu>»land dnect, and will most piobably sail in all iJaah next. The Whaling ship Chiistopber Mitchell, of Nantucket, Capt. Sullivan, proceeds to sea to-d.iy. Her destination is the Whaling grounds lminediite'y North East oi New Zealand goin^' as fai as the Equator. She is now out 10 months. From Ins pievious .success in the same latitudes, Capt, Sullivan anticipates to fill up in the course of C oi 8 months more ; in the event of Ins Hiiccefedmg, he purposes to return to this port to refit for ho»u>r As with Capt. Washbtirne, of the Samuel Ko'wtson, Capt. Swain of the Knterprize, both American YV !nlers recent I) h?re, Capl. Sullivan, wasnot previously aware of tlwsuptnoi advantages Auckland atfoids forrefitting and is therefoiennxious to avail of them again. Besides 'hereasonable pricesat which provisions can be supplied it may be mentioned that five runs of speim oil sold here, ex this vessel, realized at the rate of £65 per ton. The Missionary schooner Border Maul, is. cleared out and waiting fora change of wind to pioceed to sea. Her destination is the Chatham Islands, Lyttellon, and Wellington, 'ihe Bishop of New Zealand, accompanied by Mrs. Selwyn, proceeds by her. The immediate object in going to the Chatham Islands i 3 to return to his family there a native joutb of great influence who has been, lecemng his education at St. John's College. Tin ough the kind servicesoft apt.Gennysof H. M.S. Fantome, who/i eel y supplied hmds from his ship, all her new spars and standing and mDning rigging have been set up afiesh, and the Border Maid is now worthy of the service in wuich she is employed. The wretched state which both her spars and iiggmg were found to be in wh«n inspected on her leturn from her first trip is only another index to the value of Sydney Marine Surveys. By the brig River Chief, Capt. Ilorsley, arrived from Tahiti, and Roratonga, we learn of the safe arrival at the former port ol the American ship Alexander, hence the lßt. August, after a fine passage of 20 days having on boaid the Commander, Officeis,and Crew of the late French Corvette Alcmene. They landed the following day all well, and weie to remain at Tahiti until receipt of instructions from the French Admiral Commanding in the Pacific. The only French Man of War at Tahiti when the River Chief left was the Durance, 42 guns. The Alexander had sailed for Honolulu. The brig Rosalind, Capt. McKay, hence 13th April for Tahiti and S.tn Francisco, returned to Tahiti from the latter port with the greater portion of her onginal cargo on boaid a few days tiefoi-e the River Chief sailed.
