Sho h tr> mil fiom lieur.u on Snturdny next, and, all well, may rench Wellington on or about tint day fortnight, on tlic way to Nrlnon. Wo thus intend to open up this trade for sUarn which I have no doubt will be of great ad" vauiiigc to the colony, and we will continue in it if we receive support, and noun have n consort to the Queen, when the scheme ia sufficiently developed, to warrant. Will you then oblige by Ulking about this as much as you can, and letting our intentions be known, as of cour^o we will not have long tun c to spend in port, although, being an exploratory voyage, we ahull be a day or two longer than on future occnsioiiß. — Wellington Independent July 12. We learn by the Governor Grey, which arrived on Sunday last, that lliCßchoonir Sheperdi'B«, whilo entering the Wanganui river, with a detachment of the liflth regt., was drifted on the «pit. The cau-'c of tho accident was, that when the wan crossing the bar It fell dead calm, and a freili being on the river at tho time, set her on the »pii, where «he remained until the tide receded, when the detachment walked safely on shore. — Ibid. The Cheetah arrived on Thursday from Sydney which she left on tho Ist instant.
