Our old friend the Kegina, captain H. B. Thornton, returned to this port on Sunday morning, after an eight months absence, going home with a full cargo of wool in 86 days, and returning with a-full complement of immigrants and cargo in 93 days, from portto port or 84 from land to land. She left Gravesend on the 2nd of September, and therefore on her arrival gave us a fortnight's later news than we had previously received; but the regular September mail coming in on Monday superseded her intelligence. The Kegina had a fair and favourable passage throughout; fell in with an iceberg a little eastward of the Cape; ran down her longitude in 48° and 49 ° and on the 17th November, in 97 ° E. spoke the Burmah, which.sailed four days before her. The Burmah had carried away 'her foreyard, The Regina made the Snares on the 2nd inst. and lost no time in coming up the coast. She has 280 passengers, whom she has brought out in capital health and spirits; and the ship herself is a model of cleanliness. All the passengers .were landed on Monday. The Lord Ashley reached port with the English mails of September, on Monday morning, at 8 o'clock. She had eucountered very boisterous weather on her passage from Wellington, which place she left on Saturday, at 2 p.m. Considering the force of the gale as experinced here, it is creditable to the boat that she accomplished the trip with so much accuracy. The fact of her bringing the mails has rendered her visit to the port in the intermediate fortnight, a most agreeable occurrence. The Airedaile reached Auckland on the 23rd ult. with the mails, having left Sydney on the 16th, after the arrival of the Malta. The Airedaile has been refitted in Sydney, and is said to be now in first-rate order and seagoing condition. .. The Wellington papers report the arrival of the Christopher. Newton, from London, with a few passengers and a valuable cargo, on the 20th. A passenger by her has brought some pheasants and hares. The voyage, was 117 days long. The barque Dunedin left Otago on Triday-morning last, and fell in with the heavy gale of that 'day and Saturday. Hove too for fear of runing past the port, and came in on Sunday evening; She reports the Sevilla as having arrived with emigrants on Thursday last, from the Clyde, and on Friday saw a large vessel carrying stock, probably the Burmah, going in to Port Chalmers.

The following are the passengers by the Burmah Capt. Lloyd :—

Chief Cabin.—For Otago, Messrs. Cave, Williams, (2), Blair, and Dickson. For Canterbury, Messrs Seymour and Maude. :

Steerage.—For Otago. Mrs. Bennett and three children ; Mary and Elizabeth Key, Charles Crisp and John Shepherd. For Canterbury, 11. and J Dalfenthal, J. Broil, 11. Shaw, V. Eebain, 11. Harris, and I). Barnard.

The Burmah has for this province some beautiful breeding stock, horses and cattle, said to be larger than any previous importation. The Malta was detained five days at the Mauritius and two days at King George's Sound; at the former place she was placed in the dock to get her bottom cleaned. At the latter place the men who were employed in coaling, &c. detained her over the Sunday, in order to get pay for thirty-two days Since leaving Mauritius she experienced

during.fche run to JPpg.^eorgo's Sound almost continual head winds. She arrived at that place on the morning of the Btli, anil left 7th November. Tho Salsetto arrived at Suez with tho homeward mails and passengers from Australia-on the 25fch Sep., her passengers left the same evening for Alexandria. The Northam was successfully got off from the Reef in the Red Sea, upon which she had struck, and after having conveyed hor mails and passengers safely to Suez, proceeded to Bombay for repairs.— Sydney Morning Ilcrgld. Tlie Royal Bride il'not reported aa having arrived at Melbourne up to the 13th ult.. She has had some improvements made in her stern, which were fouud to give increased speed on the passage from Bristol to Cork, which she performed in 30 hours under steam alone,'including several detentions,, tho. distance being 240 tiiiles. Considering the length of time since the last news received here leffc Melbourne, the Royal Bride may be expected almost immediately. The Auckland papers say tho Niger left, on the 19th, to round the North Cape to Manukau, where she would take on board the Governor, Col. Mould and suite on a tour of the Southern provinces. The Iris was expected in Auckland. ENGLISH SHIPPING. Nine vessels are on the list as having sailed from London and other ports for New Zealand in the month of August. Among them is the 'Lyttelton,' .described as of 49 ton£, indicating the coasting steamer built for .the Canterbury Steam Navigation Company. The whole measurement of the boat, including engine room, is, we believe, about 130 tons. Of the commencement of the voyage we are informed that " The Lyttelton, Cpleman, of and from London, for, Lyttelton, N. Z., put into Ramsgate, Aug. 31, for more- canvas." We learn, further, that she left again oh the 13th September, and is, therefore, now 80 days out. She need not be expected very quickly.

On Sept." sth, the Golconda sailed from the Downs for Nelson; On the 7th, the Nimroud, for Auckland. The ships loading for New Zealand on 17th Sept. are as follows:— .'

For Auckland: Jura", Afrioan.'and Frenchman. For Canterbury.- The Roman Emperor, Lamprell; and John Lawson, Bice.

For Otago: Bos worth, and A^rosine. For Wellington andJHawkes Bay: Wild Duck. . For Do. and Canterbury: Viscount Sandon. For Do. and Nelson: Egbert Small. . From Liverpool for Auckland, &c.: The Shalimar cleared on the 12th Sept. The Gloucester, Hiate, from Otago, June 3rd, arrived off Portland on the 16 th Sept. The Burrnah, belonging to Messrs. Willis, Gann and Co.'s New Zealand line,.left St. Katherine's Dock on August 26 for New Zealand. "She takes out the following valuable selection of thoroughbred horses and cattle, the largest ever shipped at one time:—Blood. Stock.— A fine thorough-bred yearling colt by Kingston, four thorough-bred fillies of high pedigree, the thorough-bred mare Jenny Lind, in foal by Vanderdecken. Cart Stock.—Four pure-bred Clydesdale stallions, two pure-bred Clydesdale mares, the very fine Yorkshire bred stallions Hero and Wonder, and a fine Yorkshire bred stallion colt. Cattle.—Four pure-bred Ayrshire bulls and two heifers one fine pure-bred Durham short-horn bull and two heifers; making a total of 15 horses and mares and nine head'of cattle.— Home News.

The Royal Bride screw steamer, 2000 tons burden, from Bristol for Melbourne, with passengers' and a general cargo, arrived, in Queenstown on the 28th August, and steamed up opposite Glenbrook, where she cast anchor for the purpose of taking in additional passengers and cargo. She is the first of a contemplated line of steamers between Bristol and Melbourne, which will make Cork a port of call. Most of her passenger accommodation having been engaged at Bristol, she received only 20 passengers at Queenstown—including five first class, being all that she had room for'; and about 300 tons of goods, including 2300 firkins of butter. She sailed again in a few days.— Home News.
