Flying Cloud, schooner, 46 tons, Ruddock, for sale. — G. S. Graham, agent. Maria Louisa, schooner, from Melbourne. Grafton, schooner, 88 tons, Tonner, laid on for Melbourne.—G. S. Graham, agent.

Lancashire Witch, 1386 tons, Molison, for Shanghae. — J, Salmon & Co., agents. Zingari, s.s., (at Manukau) Million, arrived from the Southern Prorinces.

The Lancashire Witch left Wellington on Monday the 28th ulto,, and, having the wind from sou-west, came by Cape Palliher, and the Eastern coast. She arrived off Cape Colville on Thursday evening, and entered the Jiarbour on the forenoon of Friday. She brings a small detachment of the 65th regt., consisting of Captain Blewitt, 28 rank and file, 7 women, and 8 children, under command of Captain Peebles of the 11th regt., together with Assistant Surgeon Burkitt, of the 74th regt., and one private of the Royal Sappers and Miners. The Lancashire Witch is nearly a new vessel, of Quebec build, and is now ' n her first voyage to these colonies. She is the largest ship that has entered our harbour, and is certainly a magnificent specimen of marine architecture. She is commanded by Captain ivfolison, who, it will b° remembered, brought the Westminster to the Bay of Islands, in March, 1840 ; and is the joint property of that gentleman and Messrs. Duncan Dunbar and Son. Supposed Vestige of the missing Wave.— Capt. Bristow of the Fancy, which arrived in course of last week from the East Coast, reports that, on Sunday the 27th ulto., he was in at Hicks' Bay, and saw a rudder that had been washed ashore three Jays previously, which was generally believed to "be that of the ~isbing Wave. The Wave, it will be remembered, left Hawke's Bay before the gale of the 21st May ; she was seen shortly afterwards -by the master of the Dolphin, cff Jiicks' Bay, working to town ;

and has not since been heard of. The rudder, which now lies on the beach at H'cks' Bay, is constructed of hardwood ; it is 9 feet, 3 inches long, and 3 feet broad *t the broade't part. Its head is rounded off, and it possesses the peculiarity of having an iron band below and above the tiller hole. The rudder in question h*s no woodlock— ] a deficiency which easily accounts for the loss of the vessel (for such may now be presumed to be the case) as the want of this safeguard would render any rudder liable to be unshipped in a heavy sea. It is the general opinion that this happened in the case of the Wave, and that, in consequence, she became unmanageable and foundered. She was the property, we understand, of the Rev. Mr. Hamlin, of the Wairoa, and had on board two passengers, who, with the crew, have doubtless met a watery grave. Captain Bristow reports very bad weather on the East Coast, there having been nothing but successive gales from one point to another. The Fancy had a fine run of 24 hours from Hicks' Bay The Sybil, Captain Foyle, hence to Melbourne, put into Jarvis Bay on the 12th ulto., through stress of weather. The Lion, whaleship, Captain Hardwicke, was off the Navigators' Islands on the 20th June. The Zingari, s.s. fiom the Southern Provinces, entered Manukau harbour on Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. Capt. Millton, on the voyage hence, was unable to land the New Plymouth cargo, which he kept on board till his return. The Zingari has had pretty good weather during the voyage, and has accomplished the trip in 23 days. Her c'ate of departure is at present uncertain, as she may be detained for a few days in consequence of the sittings of the Assembly being prolonged. The Zingari left the Margaret at New Plymouth, but we understand that this smart little vessel arrived in Mannkan yesterday. The William Denny, for Sydney, will not leave till Tuesday next — this day week. We learn that her berths are all" already engaged. The Eleonora, for Sydney, will probably sail about Thursday. Many applications for passages are already being made. TnE Joseph ixe Willis-.— Divers' were working vigorously on the wreck of the Josephine Willis. The effects of Captain Canney had been recovered, and handed to h^s %\idow free of salvage. Her mail-bags had also been ft; cMvered, but.most of the letters wcie so saturated and $ij«r 'Ijaeured tl)ajt thjeir addiesses were quite illegible^ Very little cargo had been saved, the principal article having'been ' one box of jewellery. English Shipping. — The Lord Burleigh, Capt Clarke, sailed fiom Gr&yesend for this port ->n the 18th April. She cairies a laige number of assisted passengers, whose names will be found in our ad vertising columns. The next ship of Messrs. Willis' line was to be Martaban, Captain Brown, to sail on the 25th May. The Martaban was to be followed by the Joseph Fietcher, to sail in Jure or July. The Gipsey was advertised to sail on the 19th May, but from private sources we learn that her owners had engaged with the Admiralty for the conveyance of stores, which would probably have the effect of extending her day of sailing. Our old friend the Cresswell, was on the berth for Nelson. The Neander, hence November 20, arrived at Liverpool on the 28th April, having been 160 days on the passage. She rounded the Horn in 40 days, in the high latitude of 60 o . Un approaching the North, the Neander encountered very severe weather. She called at Fernando Novo, Western Island*, for water, where, i after lying off and on foi 4 days, she only succeeded in obtaining 5 casks. In the channel, the weather was heavier than had been experienced during the whole voyage, causing a detention of 18 days, and loss of bulwarks, fore and aft. The Kirk wood should have arrived, but we can find no mention of her. The s.s. Wong,i Wonga, arrived yesterday morning at 2 o'clock, after a very tempestuous voyage. She^ was unable to procure a cargo ot cattle at Monganui, in consequence of the severe gale then blowing. The ship Lancashire Witch, 1386 tons, Captain Molison, from Portsmouth, via Hob art To\rn and Sydney, arrived in this harbouT on Sunday afternoon, after a very splendi! passage of 94 days, including seven days detained in port at Hobart Town and Sydney. The Lancashire Witch is the largest, and finest merchant vessel that has ever entered this port, and haßmade one of the quickest passages on record. She sailed from Portsmouth on the 17th April, and arrived at Hobart Town on the 3rd July, tfter a quick passage of 77 days. She remained at Hobart Town only three days, where a detachment ot the 12th regt., consisting of Ensign Oliver, and 85 rank and file were landed ; and sailed from thence for Sydney on the 6th July, where she arrived on the 9th inst., after a passage of three clays. A detachment of the llthregt, under the command of Major Blosse, consisting of Captain Roe, Lieut. Birch, Ensign Martin, and 77 rank and file were disembarked at Sydney. After remaining 4 days at Sydney, she tailed for this port on the 13th inst., and arrived here on the 20th, after a very quick passage of seven days, completing the whole distance fiom Portsmouth to Wellington in the short space of 94 days. She has brought on here a detachment of the 65th regt., under the command of Captain Peebles of the 11th regt., consisting of Ensigns Lewis, | Pennefather, and Leonard, 3 Seigeants, 247 rank and file, !30 women, and 31 children. The health of the troops, ! under the care of Assistant Surgeon Burkitt, has been very i good. Three deaths, adults, and four births occurred during the voyage. On the 25th May, Ensign Harrison, of | th-5 11th regt., accidentally fell overboard, and w«s i drowned. There svas a strong breeze blowing at the time, i the vessel going through the water at the rate of 12 knots ! an hour, and from the heavy sea that was on, it was found \ impossible to lower the boots to his assistance. — Wellington ! Independent, %2nd July j Southern Shipping. — The barque Libertas arrived at Wellington, from London, on the 18th ulto., having sailed on Good Friday. The ship Sir Edward Paget arrived at Port Victoria, on the 2nd ulto., from London, after a passage of 131 days, bringing 117 passengers, 54 of whom are for Otago. The ship Westminster, Westgarth, sailed for Hong liong, on the 29th June. The Emma Colvin sailed from Nelson for Shanghae, on the 23rd ulto. The Gazelle, with the passengers per 1 Sandford had arrived at New Plymouth, and sailed for I Melbourne. j We have to notice the departure of the Thomas and { Henry, for Mebourne, with a full cargo. This smart ! little craft which hails fiom our port takes away with I her 25,533 lbs. wool, valued at £1280 ; 3800 bushels of wheat, £1523 ; 70 tons of potatoes, £350 ; 800 bushels of oats, £200; making a total value of £3353; which, ! added to the exports by late opportunities, gives an export, within the last fortnight, ot produce grown in the Province, of the value of about £5000.— Otago Witness, sth July Sydney Shipping. —The Pacific, hence the 20th June, arrived in Sydney on the Bth ulto. She was out in fearful gales, but shewed herself to be an excellent sea boat. The timber which she tooks as cargo, was to be >-old the day after the departure of the Denny. Both the Moa a"nd Pacific weie on the berth for this port — the former of which was to sail on the 22nd ulto. The Algerine, from Shanghae, April 20, had arrived at Sydney on the 10th ulto , with a caigooftea. The Algerine has made an excellent trip, having in this respect been more fortunate than either the Invincible, the Vixen, or the Imperial, of the two last of which yrs cannot see any notice in our eastern files.
