Surveying schooner Pandora came up the Manukau on Saturday, where she is about to commence a complete survey of that important harbour. The following particulars of her progress since she left Auckland on the 15th ult., has been kindly furnished by Captain Drury: Since leaving this port, the Pandora has been into Kawau, Mongonui, and Hohora on the East Coast, as well as anchored under the North Cape, sounding the coast and amongst the Three Kings, from whence she went to Ahipara, where she anchored and sounded that bay; continuing the sounding near the West Coast towards Hokianga, when she was obliged to get an offing during a westerly gale—which was succeeded by strong N.E. winds, until the 4th inst. At daylight on the stb, she entered Manukau without the slightest difficulty, passing through the mid-channel, and running up towards Onehunga, grounded during a tide a little below the Wahu, having no chart, and in consequence of the boat ahead not perceiving on which side the channel was shoaling. She is at present at anchor off Shag Point only a few miles below Onehunga. The following is a list of whalers that bad been into Monganui this season—Albion, Soule, 230 barrels sperm, 1800 barrels black; H. Y.

One was seen off the West Coast; another ship was seen off the North Cape, supposed to be a whaler, on the 25th ult. The Pandora brought up seven men that bad been brought to Monganui by the Trident from the Francis, wrecked at the island of Mangea. The liiomaina arrived from the Bay of Islands on Thursday evening bringing the intelligence of the arrival at the Bay of the schooner Marmora from Sydney, whence she sailed on the 28lh ult. The Daniel Webster sailed from Sydney on the 26th ult. with a large cargo of sheep for Auckland, and arrived yesterday morning, anchoring at the Tamaki Heads to land her sheep. The Mor was loading and would sail in a day or two after the Marmora for Auckland ; the ship Royal Shepherdess, Captain Bell, arrived with 103 passengers at Sydney’on the 21st ult, from Melbourne, on her way to this port, and was advertised to sail for Auckland on the 28th uit.
