Turnbull and Co,, the port of Wellington is the only one In the colony to which direct trade to China and Melbourne by means of sailing vessels is carried on ; and now, by the arrival of the barque East Lothian, another now trade has "been inaugurated by them, between Singapore and this port, as we understand that they have made arrangements whereby vessels are to bo despatched for Wellington from Singapore at regular intervals. The cargo of the East Lothian consists of 225 tons timber and 270 tons produce, particulars of which are published under the proper heading. The East Lothian is a very old wooden vessel of some 24 years standing, having been built in Perth in 1853. Her passage down has occupied 60 days, having left Singapore on the 21st June with strong S.E. wind, and passed Anjer on the 6th July. She had heavy trade winds, and when off Cape Leuwin had a series of strong N.W. gales. She ran through Bass Strait with strong northerly winds on the 10th inst, and then, with favoring breezes from the westward behind her, made a good stretch over to New Zealand, sighting Cape Farewell on the 16th instant. Was off the Heads on Thursday evening last at 8 o'clock, and made the usual signal for a pilot, but received no answer, and during the night a heavy southerly gale came on and drove her half way up through the Strait again. She got back to the Heads yesterday morning, and came to an anchorage in port at three o’clock.
