MONTHLY MARITIME AND MILITARY RECORD.

Even for January, proverbially a dull month, this has been one of the most inactive we have witnessed for a very great length of time. The port is all but empty; we have had nothing from Engltnd since the Mermaid; the Avalanche, hitherto a fast ship, is making a protracted passage, and bids fair to be caught by those that sailed after her. One by one, the Naval squadron has left us, until only the Fawn, Commander Cator, remains. Miranda sailed for Sydney on the 3Ut, and with so much haste that all sorts of rumours, in connection with the war with America, have been in circulation. The troops are still encamped near Drury and the banks of the Waikato, where Military roads, of admirable construction, are beingpushed forward with the utmost vigour. All is quiet: the season is now most favourable, and beforea return to winter quarters be required, the frontier will have been placed in a secure position, and the country opened up and connected in the most beneficial manner. The French Imperial store ship La Bonite, Lieut. Jouan, Commanding, which has been in this port for the lasi three or four weeks, took her departure for Port de France, New Caledonia, on the 17th January, at 7 s.m., going down harbour with a light Southerly air, but spanking down the gulf, wi,h stun’ sails low and alott, with an increasing breeze. The conduct of the ships’ company during her stay here, was such as to elicit the approbation of tire community, and her officers were much respected by those who had the pleasure of their acquaintance. In all probability, this is not the only occasion on which La Bonite will show her bunpng in the Waitemata, as it .nay depend upon the Governor of New Caledonia whether she shall come again for further supplier. On this occasion, she has departed with 100,000 feet kauri timber, 140,000 shingles, and a very handsome gig, (built by Mr. Carr of Official Bay), for the Governor of New Caledonia, with which Lieut. Jouan has expressed himself much pleased, arid for which he has given Mr. Carr a first class certificate. The ship Northumberland, Captain Hawkins, took .her departure for London on the 20th January, with a bumper cargo of wool, kauri gum, oil, and other colonial produce, and wtih a number of old colonists en route to revisit their fatherland. She rounded the North Head a little after? p.m., with a strong and favouring Southerly breeze, which carried her down the gulf at a rattling pace. Don Coasting Craft. —The Northern ports of Mongonui, Russell, and Wangarei have long possessed theii regular traders, which perform their passages with a degree of punctuality and dispatch worthy of the utmost commendation. These have been gradually increasing in number, capacity, and condition, until they have attained a standard position in public favour. Another candidate for public support puts forth her claims in our advertising pages this morning. She is the new schooner Emma Eliza, of 23 tons register, Charles Richards, which has been laid on as a regular trader between Auckland and Mangapai and Wangarie. The schooner has undergone a thorough overhaul, and every pains have been bestowed to render her accommodations as convenient and complete as possible. Whaling Intelligence.— The ship Japan, 487 ton«, Grant, New Bedford, sailed from Russell, for the Whaling Grounds, on the 15th. The ship Petrel, 352 tons, Fuller, for New Bedford, on the 17th, and the ship Mohawk, 350 tons, Swain, Nantucket, for the Whaling Grounds, on the 17th ultimo. The Whaling ship Mohawk, 350 tons, George Swain, of Nantucket, 31 months out, with 530 barrels sperm, arrived at Russell from the fishing grounds on the 7th ultimo. Whaling Intelligence. —From Russell, under date 2l)tb January, we have the following intelligence:—Arrived, January l(J;h, Janus, ship, 321 tons. Smith, New Bedford, 40 months out, with 1500 barrels whale, 200 barrels sperm. January 18th— Zone, barque, 3G5 tons, Galvan, Fairhaven, 40 months out, wilh 1200 barrels sperm, 150 barrels whale.

IMMIGRATION AND EMIGRATION. Foreign immigration, during the past month, may be set down as nil ; but in what may be termed domestic immigration we have a steady in-set. There are no longer any departures for Otago, but constant arrivals therefrom, the number during January amounting to about 150, with an intimation of a vastly larger concourse tc follow. Coromandel has every chance of being thoroughly prospected by practical miners, arrived and to come, and if it turn out to be but half as rich In auriferous quartz as it is reported, and, by many, confidently believed to be, it will spring at once from a secluded ship building haven, to one of the foremost ports of the South Pacific. There were six foreign arrivals of 1439 tons, 2 from Adelaide, 2 from Sydney, 1 from Hobart Town, and I from the Mauritius, via Adelaide, with 63 passengers. The foreign departures consisted of six vessels of 1840 cons,—2 for Newcastle, N.S.W., 2 for Sydney, 1 for London, and 1 for San Francisco, with 41 passengers. There were eleven arrivals of 055 tons, with 194 passengers from the other Provinces of New Zealand; whilst there were thirteen departures of 2121 tons with 82 passengers. I'he balance in favour of the immigration for the month, amounts, therefore, to 134 souls, ARRIVALS FROM PORTS OP THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. In consequence of the new system introduced at the Customs, we are unable to supply, as heretofore, the quantities of firewood, timber, shingles, shells, lime, and other articles which are no longer entered daily, but recorded in books to be made public quarterly. Of the entries made there were 71 vessels of 1763 tons, with 293 passengers, 1440 bushels wheat, 1842 bushels maize, 125 bushels apples, 97 bushels peaches, 14 bushels fruits, 3£ tons potatoes, 166 cwt. onions, 44 cwt. bacon, 142 cwt. pork, 660 lbs. lard, 1284 lbs. butter, 6944 lbs. cheese. 2702 lbs. honey, 16,300 lbs. wool, 26J tons kauri gum, 46 tons bark, 20 cwt beef, 10 cwt, flax, 300 lbs. bran, 1 cwt. cured fish, 8 cwt. whalebone, 10 tuns humpback oik tuns sperm, 2 boxes lemons, 3 bales leather, 79 dozen eggs, 18 horses, 55 pigs, 63 head cattle, 895 sheep, I boat, 10 cwt. pawa, shells, 1800 post and rails. 3200 feet house block, 3400 palings. fGr IC is necessary to repeat that these are merely the more prominent articles coming coastwise. The entries are not complete, as many native vessels and small licensed craft, evade making any entries. And further, very large quantities of produce—by far the greatest proportion of sawn timber for example—are received by boats and carts from creeks and stations within the limits of the Auckland district, exclusive of those brought to market in native canoes, or back-borne by those industrious purveyors to European wants. , DEPARTURES FOR PORTS OP THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND.
