The schooner Return sailed on the SOtb November, from Wangaroa, Chatham Islands, for Melbourne, but ",is driven by stress of weather to make fot tins port. Her cargo consists chiefly of potatoes which have been ■ ftt'i-ed for sale here, and the vessel is now for freight or charter. The Will o'tbe Wisp, the fine clipper schooner lately purchased by Messrs. Henderson and Macfarlane at Tort Phillip, arrived from Melbourne yesterday afternoon, whence she sailed on the Sflth ult. A number of Auckland settlers, who had visited Melbourne, have re'urned by this vessel, and others were preparing to come back by the Spencer next trip. It was reported that several vessels were about to b<? laid on for Auckl.tiid, amongst which the William Hyde was named, l.vit she was not likely to leave very soon as -he was only half discbatged when the Will o' the Wisp s.nled, and an action against her was said to be threatened for damage sustained by the loss of some of lior perishable cargo, in consequence of her passage Is.wing been prolonged by a deviation from her course, to put in at Sydney, instead of proceeding direct to Melbourne accoiding to her clearance at this port. The P. &0. C. steamer Chu3an, was daily expacted from Singapore and the Cleopatra from England. Vessels were still arriving in large numbers, hut, while immigration from home and from foreign ports had not slackened, there was a great falling off in arrivals from the neighbouring colonies. On the 24-th ult. there arrived the John Bunyan, ship, from Liverpool the 14tb August, with 31 cabin and 673 intermediate and steerage passengers ; the Abrota, barque, from Glasgow, the sth August, w ith 3 cabin, and 112 intermediate and steerage passengers, the Arundel, ship, from London the 26th July, with 9 cabin, and 271 intermediate and bteerage passengers; the Isabella, chip, 1200 tons, from London July 31st. 38 cabin and 271 intermediate and steerage pissengers; and the Magnolia, ship, 700 tons, from New fork, July 27, with 100 first cabin, and 138 second cabin passengers. Of the arrival of the latter vessel the MelboKt ne Argus says '.—. — The Magnolia is the pioneer of a monthly Hoe of ships from Nuw York. She was to be followed by tbe William Fotheringham, August 20th. Two other vessels were preparing to start for this port, viz., the John Scott, British brig, Aug. 10, and the Epaminondas, American, Aug. I.sth. The passengers by the Magnolia are all healthy. Hundreds of British subjucts are said to be flocking in to New York from all r arts of tbe United States, to take passages to Melbourne, the greater number going by way oi Liverpool and London, and other British ports, in preference to 'he California loute.
