The s.s. Southern Cross, Captain F. Holmes, left Auckland on Friday evening last at 5 p.m., and arrived in port at 5 p.m. yesterday, having made the passage in 48 hours.

Having landed passengers and mails, and shipped Wellington passengers, she left again for the latter place at 11 a.m. The s.s. Kiwi, Captain James Campbell, from Wellington, arrived in port at 7.15 p.m. on Saturday. She left Wellington wharf at 4.15 p.m. on Friday, and made Castle Point at 5.30 the next morning. There was a heavy sea on the beach, and there was, therefore, no possibility of her discharging cargo ; she consequently came on, and arrived as shown. She experienced strong N.W. winds throughout the passage, but smooth sea. The schooner Saucy Kate, from Dunedin, arrived in the roadstead at 4 a.m.. and was brought inside at 11 a.m. yesterday. We were misinformed with respect to the date of her departure from Dunedin, she having lefb on the 6th of the present month.

She then got the wind fresh from the southward, which brought her into Cook Straits, where she got through on Monday night, the 11th. She then got the breeze fresh from the N. W., which continued till Wednesday, the 13th, and brought her up as far as CapeTurnag.iin. She then got a fresh breeze from the N.W.,, and this accompanied her until Friday night, the loth, when it went round to the N.W., and continued to blow from that quarter until her arrival. She spoke off Cape Turnagain the schooner Vesuvius, bound from Lyttelton to Auckland. She bi'ings for this port a full general cargo, which she will commence to discharge to-day.
