The Luna, we hear, is shortly expected to arrive from "Wellington. The Albion, from London, is now 125 days out. Her arrival at Nelson may be hourly looked for. The next English Mail via San Francisco will leave Auckland on the 7th July. A portion of the new clothes for the Napier Rifle Volunteers arrived from Auckland by the p.s. Comerang on Monda) last. Routledge, Kennedy & Co. announce that they will sell by public auction at the Shamrock Sale Yards, at noon on Wednesday next, a large number of cattle, pigs, &c. S.

Immigrants Promissory Notes. —We would draw the attention of all concerned to an advertisement which appears in this morning's paper under the above heading. Contrary to expectation, the letters by the last English Mail via Suez did not arrive in Napier last evening by Cobb's coach. It is probable the mail will come to hand by the p.s. Luna, which vessel is shortly expected to arrive from Wellington. The Hon. Colonel Whitmore, and the Hon. Colonel Russell, members of the Legislative Council, left Napier for Wellington in the s.s.- Taranaki on Monday; and Tareha, M.H.R., took his departure in the s.s. St. Kilda on Tuesday night. Mr Ormond has not yet left Napier, the critical state of native affairs, we presume, having delayed his departure.

A Boat Accident, happily unattended with fatal results, took place at Arapawanui on Sunday last. The boat belonging to the ketch Whv Not, in which were three men, was engaged in landing cargo, and had taken one load on shore, and was returning to the vessel, when the steer oar broke, the boat broached to, and the three men were precipitated into the water. Fortunately, they succeeded in saving themselves, and another oar having been procured, the landing of the cargo proceeded.

The Christian Times.—We have to acknowledge the receipt of the second number of this monthly paper, a prospectus of which reached us some time ago. It is the first we have seen, and is a very creditable production, h consists of sixteen large quarto pages, and contains a leading article; a summary of the Auckland news of the month; a sermon by the Rev. J. R. Jenkins, entitled "The Tearless World"; a "Chronicle of the Churches;" literary selections; correspondence; two chapters of an original story; besides advertisements. The charge for subscription is very moderate, and we hope to see the Christian Times well supported. The publisher is Mr 1&, %ayte, Auckland,

The last link connecting the British army with these shores has now been severed. From our Northern files we observe thar Colonel Elliot, 18th H. 1., left Auckland for Sydney in the s.s. Hero on the 14th inst., and there is now not a single representative of an Imperial regiment left in New Zealand.
