DUNEDIN.
(From the " Independent " correspondent.) April 3, 6-45 p.m. The brig Amherst has returned to the Bluff from the Auckland Islands, without finding any traces of castaways, or the large cave into which the ill-fated ship General Grant is supposed to have drifted. Traces of wreck and some drift wood were however se.en on two points of rock. The officers of the brig state that the latitude and longitude of all the islands have been taken, and that, wonderful to relate, it was discovered that they are laid down on the charts as much as thirty-five miles south of their true position. Depots of provisions, &c, were left on the Islands, which are reported to be admirably suited for penal settlements. The steamer Southland was not seen by the Amherst.
