The Merchantman sailed on Friday morning for Canterbury. This fine ship arrived >n port on the night of the 4th inst., and has, consequently, been 22 days in harbour, but when it is considered that during that time Bhe has discharged her Auckland cargo, under the disadvantage of having to break out and restore the Canterbury portion, it will be admitted that she has aceomplishsd her work in a remarkably short time. The Yarrow, brig, from Sydney, arrived on Sunday at 3 o'clock, having left Sydney the same day as the Heather Bell. On the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd ult., she encountered a heavy north-east gale, which compelled her to heave too, and during which she lost 24 sheep. Having to land passengers at the Bay of Islands, she arrived in the Bay on Wednesday at 7 a.m., but had to beat up against a stiff breeze from S.W., and did not anchor off Motoroa till the afternoon. She remained there 24 hours. It will be observed that, even taking into consideration the necessity of , calling at the Bay, the Yarrow has been eclipsed by the Heather Bell ; but when it is remembered that the former had nearly 500 sheep on board, which prevented her from carrying on, it will be admitted that she has done very well indeed. On the 24th, she sighted a large ship running to the westward, probably fiom the South American coast. A pleasure excursion having been announced for Saturday by the agents of the "Wonga Wonga, and the weather having turned out to be beautiful in the extreme, about fifty passengers availed themselves of the opportunity to have a look at the Kawau mines and the adjacent country. The steamer started at 9, and arrived at Garlick Bay at 2, where she landed her passengers, and remained for about two hours. She then landed a few passengers at Mullet Point, and returned for those who were ruralizing at Garlick Bay. She left the Bay at half-past 5, and came in about half-past 9, having done her work beautifully, and having been the means of a day's exquisite pleasure, at a very trifling expense, to the comparatively few that composed her complement. This little vessel is, in every way yd an advantage and an ornament to Auckland, and it is a matter of universal regret that she should have been permitted to run for six months, at a loss to all concerned, without leceiving a farthing of subsidy from the Province. The Moa, brig, the arrival of which we noted in our last, reported having had a continuance of south-west winds, which blew her to the northward oi" Smoky Cape, in standing in for the land.
