Shipping Intellignce.

The ship Warrior CJueen, some tune due from London, was signalled at the Heads on New Year's morning, and being promptly attended, to by the steamer Geelong, soon made her appearance inside, aho^vras towed to the Powder Ground by 1 o'clock, and then anchored to discharge the two tons of powder and some acids which she had on board. Reckoning from the time she left the East India Docks, tho Warrior Queen's passage would appear as 110 days ; but as she did not leave the Downs until eight days afterwards, and clear the land until two dayß subsequent to that again, it cannot be said that the passage has been of extraordinary length. She brings a full cargo, and ,20 first and seeond-class^oassengers. The good ship' Agues MuirS -vrith. her /popular commander, Captain Anderson, arrived at the powder ground, Port Chalmers,at 9 o'clock on Friday night, after a fair passage of 90 clays from Gravesend. She sighted several vessels during the passage, but signalled or spoke none. The greater number of them were seen when she was stuck up off tho Cape by tho easterly weather. Amongst them was the ship Pleiades from London, bound to Canterbury, and which was in company with the Agnes Muir in the English Channel. The Agnes Muir saw nothing of the ill-fated Surat as she came along the coast. We may observe that she is one of Messrs Patrick Henderson's and Co.'s vessels, and is chartered by Shaw, Savill, and Co. for, the present voyage.
