The S.^ N Co > r> * Geelong is expected to reach this port on Satin clay, fiom Dunedin. The ship Thiacinn has been engaged to load wool at tins port for AIess>rs> Gugill and Co. The f.ivoiite .ship l?obeit Henderson lias just reached Port Chalmeis, after a fine run of 82 days from Glasgow. Tn our lust issup it was stated tliat Captain Thomas Tuinbull, late of the Southern Steam Navigation Oo.'s ps Geelorg, wns about to pioceed to Europe for the purpose of "hi inping out a new steamer for the Company. We now find that lie lias preferred remaining in the Colony, and has accepted the appointment of Harbor M.iater at Hokitika, under the Canterbury Government. He bn* already pi oer> eded to the scene of his new labors, wheie we doubt not he will acquit himself as heretofore to the entire satisfaction of every one. Capt. Tumbull possesses many qualifications which peculiaily fit him for the post be has chosen, which we should fancy will not be unattended with difficulty, and the most assiduous attention to duty will be a "sine qua non." The Canterbury Government noay be congratulated on having seemed the s>ei vices, of a gentleman who is so welladnpted in many ways for fulfilling the duties devolving on the office. We are g'ad to perceive that the Star of Tasmania, Captain Cu]l>ei t, 1ms be^n chirtered by Messrs Dalgety, "Krtttmv and Co , to lo.ul wool this season at this poit. She will commence to take in cargo about the middle of next month, and w ill have despatch to enable her, as lost 3'esir, to be in time for the London May Sales. Pas(•erigei s may eDgage to embark eithei here or at Otago He.idx. YVo are siven to understand that other wool ships will shortly be laid on at this port for London diiect. The Southern Steam Navigation Company are building a new s-tcamei expressly for the Molyneux and Invpicarqill trade. She will be named the Matau, and will be completed iu about four months. The Company will meanwhile cliai ter a suitable steamer, to keep up the communication, either in Melbourne or Sydney. The stein-wheel steamer Tuapeka has returned to her old line of tiade ou the Molyneux, in perfect working order. It is stated that an overture recently made to the Geneial Government by Captain Patterson of the Naval Brigade, as to the procuring of a gunboat for Otago Hnrbur, has met with approval, and that the requisition will be forwarded to the Imperial Government, with the recommendation of the Government of the Colony. The teims upon which the requisition* has been made for a gunboat for the protection of this port, and for the drilling of the Vaval Biigade, are so favorable that thei*e is a strong pi oba\ility that it will be complied with by the lmpei ial Government, unless there exist some special reason to the coutrary. — Daily Times. H.M.S. Falcon, Capt. Parkyn, anchored off the North. Head shortlv after six. o'clock last evening, fiom acruise. She has been absent from these waters only a few weeks, during which time she has visited Sydney and New Caledonia, «ind Noifolk Island. She left Auckland for Rulney two days aftei her return from the South Sea Wnnds tour, and was despatched for Sydney with the English mail tor Commodore Sir William Wiseman, then on a cui'-a in H M.S Curacoa. She fell in with the Commodore's ship at Port de France, on the 29th ult. The Curacoa had been cruising amongst the islands, and returned that day fiom Etromanga. During her absence she b.id shelled a native village, »t the request of the missionaries, during which engagement an able seaman of the vessel, named George Holland, was shot by the natives in the side, and killed. — Lyttelton Times
