The ship Bon Accord, of New London, 8 months out, put into Kussell on Monday last; and reported good success, dha was followed next day by thu Sydney whaler Kobort Towns, Capt. Barker, who reported having taken 11U0 barrels since leaving the Bay last season. The s•< s tar of the -outli, has, owing to the low price of sheop in Auckland, been temporarily taken off the trade, and will make several trips to Lyttelton with cattle.

Regarding our English ships the only one now remaining in harbour is tho clipper Ida Zieglor, Captain A. Reynolds, which vessel is also rapiulv filling I up for London. Sho will positively sail to her advertised date, 22nd January, and as she possesses superior passenger accommodation, early application is necessary. Tii'i Cossipore, Captain Wilson, is still lying at tho Kaijnra, and not yet commenced to discharge her cargo of machinery. Tho ship Maori, Captain Roberts, is now 10b and tho ehip hleetric, Captain Lewthwaite, 100 days out from London, and may therefore be hourly looked for.
