She has been purchased for the Auckland and "Hobart 'IWn trade hy Mr. Li|v«combe, in replacement of the schooner Tyin.', whose disastrous shipwreck on the Tasmanian coast near Port Arthur, we chronicled .-oiue months nince.

The Hamburg barque Colima, Caplain Ipland, from Hamburg,' which was expected here for some t:me, at last made her appearance in our harbour on Saturday, at noon. She left Hamburg on the 13th of November, with a valuable cargo of genera! merchandize, anil 21 rsiiii and 10 ewes of the ee'ebnited thoroughhnii Ini'i-ino Negretli flock of J. F. Hoff seblacgor, Esq., in Mecklenherg, in destination for Melbourne, \Y;.-!liiigtim, ami Auckland; but already, in the carlv part ot lifjr voyage sho met with heavy gales mil contrary wind". She culled in at St. lago, one of the Cape de Verde Islands, on the 2(>th of December, to take iv a fresh supply of provisions. On the 28th December s-be left that port, and arrived, after a continuance, of bad weatliw, in Hobson's Bay on the 30th March. She discharged a part of her cargo, and after taking in a now one for Now Zealand, started again on the 10:h; and left the brads on the 10th of April. She reached Wellington after a pleasant voyage, on the 4th -May, discharging a part oilier cargo nnd her valuable live stock, ot which 2 rams had unfortunately (lied on the voyage. The Colima was ready to go to sea again on the 17th May, but tlie strong "southerly wind kept her in Port Nicholson till the 27th, when she started with v fine north-westerly breeze, which increased on the iiSth to a very strong gale, with tremendous son, and lasted till the 31st. The weather then began to moderate, and a southerly breeze sprung up, but lasted only to the 2nd June. SheHghlcdthc Alderman's 'Island ou .the 3rd of June, but calms aud contrary winds kept her outside. The pilot came on board on Saturday morning, aud at noon she dropped anchor in our harbour. Mr. Louis Buchloz is the only passenger from Germany out, and we understand that he, in connection with a well known continental Wellington firm, is going to open a house in .our city, under the firm and style of Buchloz and Co. Nearly the whole cargo is consigned to this new firm, who are also the agents for the vessel. The Colima is the first direct vessel from the Continent to our port, but we flatter ourselves soon to see more vessels direct from the Continent in our harbour, as there is going on in Germany a strong movement of emigration to Auckland, where the immigrants are sure to meet with a hearty welcome among us.— Daily Southern Cross, June'lO.
