Tee Wonga Wonga arrived here at 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning. She left here on Monday 17th November, remained wind bound at the Sound all Tuesday and reached Nelson on Wednesday afternoon. Advantage was fallen of her being at that Port to have her down on the Boulder Bank for the purpose of cleaning her bottom and painting her. She left Nelson for the Diggings on Saturday evening, and reached Collingwood on the following day ; remaining there only long enough to land her passengers, left the same day for Wanganui, and got into the River on Monday afternoon, from tiienee she has made a run across in 14 hours to Swinbourue’s Wharf. She brings about 20 return diggers. She left again on Friday morning last for Ahuriri with about 17 cabin and 30 steerage passengers, and a large quantity of cargo. She is advertised to sail for Wanganui on or about Friday next, and we believe many will avail themselves of this opportunity to be pre sent at the forthcoming Wanganui Races; she will remain there during the Races and return direct to Wellington.
