Schooner Carbon, 25, Joyce. Cutter Moonraker, 12, Porter. Schooner Joseph Cripps, 78, Whinstone. The Carbon returns to New Plymouth to load with flour for Auckland, where it is expected she will find a good market The Joseph Cripps is loading with timber for Launceston ; but goes round by way of Auckland, where she intends calling. The ship David Malcolm, 600 tons, expected daily in Wellington from Sydney, to load with oil, is advertised to sail for London in all December. We have received the following information through the kindness of Captain Salmon : — The British Sovereign left Sydney for Auckland on the 22d ultimo, with 230 rank and file of the 58th Regiment, besides military stores and artillery.

The Regia had also been taken up by the Government to convey further supplies of military stores to this colony. — New Zealand Spectator. The brig Nelson arrived in England on the 29th of April. The British Sovereign will sail to-day (September 20) for New Zealand, with a detachment of troops, consisting of Lieutenant-Colonel Wynyard, Captain Haye, Lieutenants Dressing, Hay, Petley, and Page, Ensign Wynyard, Assistant-Surgeon Philson, nine sergeants, five drummers, and 200 rank and file of the 58th Regiment. A large quantity of military stores, including howitzers, field-pieces, and ammunition, are on board the ship. — Sydney Morning Herald.

The Haidee, a barque of 330 tons, is expected from Sydney at Port Nicholson, with sheep and a general cargo. The Nelson was to sail from England in all June, for Nelson and Wellington, and may therefore be expected in the course of this month. We are informed that on her arrival she will be immediately laid on for England. — New Zealand Spectator, October 11. The Erebus, Captain Sir John Franklin, and the Terror, Captain Cozier, left Woolwich, on Monday (May 12), towed by the African and Myrtle steamers, for Greenhithe. The Terror having previously tried her screw propeller, on this occasion resolved on trying it again, and made such excellent progress, that she cast of her towing steamer, and proceeded down the river without any additional assistance whatever. The crews of the Erebus and Terror were paid in advance today, and to-morrow (Saturday) sail for their destination, accompanied by the Monkey and Rattler steam-vessels, ordered to tow them to Orkney Islands. The Baretto Junior, transport, with live stores and various descriptions of preserved meats and other articles, most liberally supplied for the use of the officers and men of the discovery vessels, will be sent at the same time, and accompany them to the borders of the ice. The compasses of the vessels have been adjusted by Captain Johnson, and the most perfect arrangements made for the peculiar service in which the vessels of the Arctic expedition are to be engaged. — Timet.
