The s.s. Murray arrived hero on Wednesday. Captain M'Gillivray reports leaving Nelson on Tuesday, May 31st, calling at Motueka. Experienced fino weather until arrival at Westport. She left here for southern ports on Thursday, and wiil probably leave this for Nelson on Sunday. The Wellington Post, of the 23rd instant, has the following:—" A schooner called the Waterlily, 51 tons, Captain Brown, from Melbourne, put in to the harbor last night, to procure a boat and some other articles she stood in need of. She has a strong crow, and her owner is on board. She is loaded with general merchandise, provisions, the frame of ji house, &c., and professes to be bound for an tminhabited island in the Pacific, 5 deg. S. of the line and named Starbeck Island, where her owner intends to establish himself. None of our nautical men, however, seem to be acquainted with this island; and some of them ,ask, not unreasonably, why a vessel bound from Melbourne for an island close to the equator, should come to New Zealand. Some people on the wharf imagine that the schooner's real destination is the Auckland Islands, thereto make an effort to recover some of the gold lost in the General Grant. This may be the case, but the captain and owners of the Waterlily do not seem to be very communicative about their proceedings."
