On Sunday she experienced a heavy gale from the southward and passed a brig hove to near Ilnwkc'a Bay. She sails this day for Nelnon, Sydney, and Melbourne.— Wellington Spectator, Aug. 3. | The visit of the William Denny is likely to be productive of important and beneficial consequences to the settlements in this colony. An arrangement ban been entered into by the Snpcrin- i tendent and Provincial Council of Auckland with her commander, who is also part owner, by which the services of that vessel arc secured for twelve , months to perform regular monthly voyages between Sydney and Auckland, and to carry the mails i between tbesa two ports, for which services her owners arc to receive the sum of five thousand pounds, A similar arrangement has also been cm tered into with Captain Mailer by the Superintend dents of Wellington and Nelson, under which it is agreed that for the turn of six thousand pounds a steamer of the same clnss a* the Willmm Donny ' shall ply between Melbourne and Sydney, and Nelson and Wellington, for twelve months, to carry the Government mails, thn port of arrival in this colony to be alternatoly Wellington and Nelaon, und the port of dopai lure to be Nelson. By this means two lines of monthly communication nill ho kept up between New Zealand und the AustrnlK.n colonies, and this colony will at last derive the full benefit of thel »team communication established between Great Britain and Auntrnha, while tho Nc'son steamer will connect tho other provinces with these linci, and complete the line of steam communication.— lbid.

A. CnASR tN the Baltic— One morning about ten days since, we saw a large vessel aome eight or tfn miles ahead, which we fully believed to be a RuJsian mannof-war, na she mndo all sail to get away and showed no colours. As we rapidly enmo up with her, uho took in sail, until 3he was under reefed topsails (fighting Him), so we boat to quarters, and tho pipe sounded loudly " hands bring ship into notion." For about three minutei everything wai bustle apparently, casting the guns loose clearing the docks, &c. Five minutes after the pipe every gun was double (.bolted and primed, and the men standing with the match lines in their ''hands waiting for the word to fire, and just as wo got within good distance the blackguard ran up American colours, and coolly told us be would hare hoisted them sooner, but he wanted to aeo bow smart we could clear for action. If our tara did not blcis him to the wrong sido ot heaven don't believe me 1-Letter from the Baltic.
