Tlie latest advice about the Star of mdia is that the vessel is exported to arrive at Auckland from New York, via Panama, to-day. Tin* vessel left the American port on Ihe ISth February, and was tho first boat belonging to the C. and 11. Line to go through tho Canal. She will ho in Wellington early next week, and her ipiick arrival is in strong contrast to the lengthy voyages via Australian ports, when three months or more elapsed before Wellington was reached.
