She is under the command of Captain Elliott, who is also a stranger here, having never been on the New Zealand coast before. The ship comes into port very clean both aloft and below. Her passengers, only 28 in number, have enjoyed the best of health, and speak In high terms of praise of Captain Elliott and his officers. No deaths or births occurred during the voyage, and nothing took place to mar tho good fueling which existed throughout. She brings a large and valuable cargo of general merchandise, which will bo discharged as quickly as possible. Having powder on board, she was brought up some little distance from tho wharf.
