On Sunday morning last, a brig, apparently about 300 or 400 tons, came close in to this port. The Harhor Master lioisted his flag to "stand in," but the stranger in full sail turned her head outwards again and proceeded in a Noithwly direction. During the day she was observed scudding Southwards before the wind, no doubt being bent on dodiing it The p.s. Geeloiig, from Lyttelton and intermediate porti, leached this nort on the afternoon of Sunday last, shortly before four o'clock. She brought only oie pusnenger and a small cargo. Having taken on hoard passengers and cargo for DuneHin. she left again at 4.45 p.m. We are indebted to Captain Tuinbull for later files of Canterbury papers.
