AUCKLAND SHIPPING.

During the week we have had four arrivals of foreign vessels*, three of which have been laden with breadstuff's. The first arrival was the brigantine Hercules, from Newcastle, with a cargo of coal for Messrs J. S. Macfarlane and Co. The Hercules was the bearer of the English telegrams, which contained the startling American news. The next foreign arrivals were those from "Valparaiso. The ship Carmen Anguita, with 1000 tons flour, arrived on Tmsday at an early hoar, after a passage of 98 days. The barque Gavina reunded the heads about 11 o'clock the same morning with a curgo of about 12,000 bags flour und COO bags bran, having been !M days frum Valparaiso, and passed through some of the severest gales which have been 'reported here of late. She came into port in a disabled .state, and a board of marine surveyors having pronounced her unseaworthy, tenders were yesterday invitid for her repair. On the day following these arrivals, signal was made for a French merchantman, which proved to be the barque Telegraphe,'from Tome,Chili, with a cargo of 2722 bags oi wheat and 2275 bags flour.
