Then.*. Wonga Wonga, Cap'. Renner, arrived in the Man u kail during the course of Wednesday morning from the Southern Provinces. She was two days behind| her appointed time, the delay being occasioned by her having to make a special trip to the Duller river. The Wonga Wonga was unahle to take her departure yesterday owing to the heavy sea on the bar caused by the Westerly gale, then blowing: she will in all probability be enabled to proceed to sea during the course of this day. The brig Fanny A. Garrigucs, Capt. Woodcock, cleared the Customs at Wellington for this port, with 101 head cattle, on the 27th ultimo. The brig Fortune, Capt. Adams, may not be expected so early as we anticipated the other day, she having been compelled to put into Sydney in a leaky condition. . The schooner Sea Breeze, Capt. James Tautari. arrived from the South Sea Melanesian Mission cruise yesterday morning. The Sea Breeze is last from Norfolk Island from which pace she made the run in ten days. The mission this season ias been very successful; a large number of islands not before visited have been opened to civilization and a number of t eir inhabitants brought over to this country for instruction. .apt. Tautari reports that the natives of the different islands have een very peaceably and kindly disposed towards them this trip, amt that no trouble whatever has been experienced in holding communication with them. We regret to have to state that the Revs. Messrs. Dudley and Prilt have for some lime past been seriously indisposed. The ship Hanover, Captain Rich, cleared the customs yesterday for Guam, and will sail in the course of this day. H.M.S.S. Harrier, 17 guns. Commander Sullivan, took her departure, under canvas, on Wednesday at 3 p.m. His Excellency the Governor Sir George Grey took passage by her for the Kawau ; whence the Harrier was to proceed on a erm e of exercise.
