The Wonga Wonga sailed from Wellingtou at 9 a.m. of the 28th January, expetienced afresh head wind and sea on the East Coast, the greater part' of the way. Arrived at Napier at 4 pm. of the 29ih uit., remained there until Friday the Ist instant, when she sailed at noon, experienced light winds and smooth watei duiing ihe remainder ofthe passage,ami arrived in this harbour at 3 a.m. of the 3rd instant. Passed the schooner Dave or Friday, ofi' I'orere. Tbe schooner F.dncy, from Auckland, arrived at Napier on tbe 81st ultimo, bringing in telligence of the arrival of the ship Castilian. from Humbny, with the liefld-quariers of the 57th Begimunt on board, wbd had received orders to proceed immediately to Taranaki. The ship Blue Jacket, also from Bombay, with a portion of the GOih
Rifles, was going into Auckland harbour, as the Fa'icy wns leaving. Tbe Wonga has brought 97 lia'-cs of wool, part of wbich is being transhipped into the Sharesbrook. She sails again for Picton and Nelson on Friday, the Rt li instant. The Victoiy, the fifth boat of lhe Inter-Colonial Royal Mail Packet Company's fleet, made her first appearance in our harbour about half£psJ3t four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, brin|.n||* with lier the November mail from England, W|g|oh she received in Melbourne in 'pursuance oftlwU new arrangement which has been made fo!Sspe carriage of the mail to Otago and Canterbury i The Victory has three excellent qualities of a*st£amer designed for the statioil she is to occupy i if ahi ely, good passenger accommodation, plenty of stowage, room for coai and cargo, and great strength. Her engines are highly finished and of large power, being rated at 180 horses ; and her speed may he understood from the fact thatshe came from Melbourne to Otago in five and half daya against stiong head winds, and that tho passage from Otago to this port was performed in fctir hours less than is usual by the other boats, even in favourable weather. The victory brought down 200 choice rams, selected from the best flocks in the Australian colonies by Mr. B. Dowling, whose fame as a flockmaster waa established "by the sheep show on the Rakaia last year. TlVe same gentleman has imported also about forty horses. The passengers by the Victory speak very highly of tlie sea-going qualities of the steamer, and of her comfortable accommodation, as ..well as of the merits of her commander, Mr. James Toogood. The saloon' is conspicuous for half-a-dozen large and handsome paintings, whose subjects are chosen, appropriately to the^ ship's name,. from t^i.e.yictotories of t\ie Erigliffh army "and navy-jj' Waterloo, Altfia, Inkerman,' 'Balaclava, Trafalgar and other famous scenes are artistically pourtrayed in the panels between the doors opening from the saloon into the sleeping berths. We learn that the Otago government has expressed its '.willingness to ;pay a bonus of £2,000 per annum to the company for the service between Melbourne and that port, and an additional sum of £1500 is expected from Canterbury. — Lyttelton 2 y imes, Jan. 2G.
Arrival or Smp " Star Queen." with Troops. I — -A ship was signalled, outside Tiri Tiri, at ani early hour on Monday morning, and as the wind was fresh and fair, we were speedily informed that she was a trooper, that her name was. the Star Queen, and that she came from Bombay, which port she left on the evening of the 23rd November and has therefore made a good, as well as a pleasant, passage of fifty-one days. The _Star Queen is a ship of 835 tons register, is commanded by Captain Barber, and is only six months out from England, whence in 84 days, she conveyed detachments of the 56th and 72nd Regiments to Bombay. There were five soldiers died fromdysentery, — that fatal complaint to our soldiers and seamen in the Eastern seas — on the passage; in other respects, the-ship was generally healthy. The mystery with respect to the Indian regiment has at length been solved. Notwitanding the explicit extract of letters to officers here, and despite the more remarkable letter in our Post Office to the officer commanding the Bifles, the Star Queen brings neither the 13th, 23rd, 85th, 60th, or 66th, all of which had been named, but the gallant old 57th — the jilorious Die-hards — a corps well lenown to Australian colonists, honored and esteemed wherever tliey have served, and who, thirty years since, took a leading part in the war which insured to Tasmania her speedy emancipation from the murderous attacks o£ her aboriginal savages. We are glad to welcome this, the firet division of the brave 57 th to our shores. They are under the _ command of Major Butler ; the other officers being Captain Brown ; Lieutenants Baynton, Hasted, Thompson, Cox, and Waller ; Ensigns Clarke, Murray, and Clayton; AssistantSurgeon Davis ; 16 sergeants, and 314 rank and file. She has a quantity of service ammunition on board. — New Zealander, Jan. 16.
Tire Head Quarters of the regiment were .to have sailed, from Bombay, three or foui* days nfter the departure of the Star Queen, on board the Castilian, a London ship of 1060 tons register. They may, therefore, be looked for shortly. The remainder of the regiment;%ith the women and children , Would' speedily follow. If we may judge of the 57th regiment from the sample we, beheld on hoard the Star Queen, we ahould say that the Indian Government' have sent us a regiment in every respect equal to the work: they have to expect.— -Ibid.
BrBTH. — At Otaki, on the 4th instant, the wife of the Rev. J. W. Gedge, 8.A., of a daughter.
