The Steamer. Whitu Swax.- It affords us a very sinceie plc.isuie to find lliat we aie not to lose the smites of Jus fine \essd, which has, throughout her yeat'a engagement, invaiiablv performed her duties well and faithfully, and which came to relie\c our necessities at a time when no other craft could bo tempted to make a trial of a New Zealand line. The S« an is to bo continued on the SouthEastein louto, in connection with the Inter-colonial Royal Mail Company. She is al present on the hard in Official Bay, iep;iinting and lefitting, and will a tiip as for Noith as Mnngonui (calling at most of the intermediate pom) before again proceeding Southwards. In all r-rob.ibility, as far at least as passengers me concerned, she vull be a bumper ship; and, indeed if the time lias not actually arrived, it cannot be far remote, when the place of the ill-managed Wonga "Wonga must be filled up by a suitable steamer.— New Zealander, July 2. The White Swan is julveitiscd to sail "for the Scuthein Ports on or about the Mth instant.

The Margarethalloosner dropped anchor off the I town on Monday evening, having been all but five months since she left the docks in London, ready for sea. The contrary winds, howeter, which pi evailed during February, detained her a few days at Gravesend, a week at Margate, and a fortnight in the Downs, whence she weighed anchor finally on the Bth of March. It Was not, howevar, till ten days after this time that she goPfairly to sen, so that her actual voyage has not been so very long. The Cape wa3 neared on the last day of May, and the run thence was accomplished in thirty-five days. As was noticed in a par.iqraph extracted from the Home Kens, two magnificent horses, Inclcdon and the Peer, were shipped on this \essel by Mr. E. MOOI house, brother of our Superintendent. Unfortunately Incledon died at (=ea, after being about 100 days on board. The Peer sur\ivea, and was landed in fiist rate preservation jestei day morning. It is to be conjectured that the same foul winds which kept the Margaretha Roesner inthe channel so long will have impeded the departuie of the Cameo and Airedale to the same date, and these two \essels may, therefore, be now daily expected. The Margaretha Itocsnei belongs to Lubeck, one of the free cities of Geun.uiy, where &>be w.is built about two years a^o. She is veiy comfortably flitted for a small number of passengers.— Lytlvlton Tunes, July 6.

The Cameo, from London, arrived at Canterbury on the 11th inst., aftci a passage of 112 days. She has brought out 303 immigrants, of whom 203 ate English, 57 Scotch, 42 liish, and 1 German.
