In consoquence of the Bovoro indiposition of this gentleman, tho proposed excursion to tho Grey has been indefinitely postponed. Tho e.s. Thane loft Napier with a cargo of cattlo and sheep for this port. After buffeting about for several days she put into Poverty Bay, and finally called at Wellington, from whence she sailed two days ago for this port. 'Tho rough weather sho experienced caused a very heavy loss in hor froight. The outter Volunteer left tho Manakau on on Sunday morning last, and experienced strong east winds until her arrival off Q-roy-mouth on Tuesday, from which placo blio had a fine run down, crossing the bar under" canvas yesterday. Sho is but twenty-ono days out from this port, and brings a general cargo of produce.
