PORT OF TIMJ.RL. AttHIVSD. Nil. SAILED. Nil. EXrECTED ARIUVALS Taiaroa, s.s., from Dunedin, this day. Mary King, schooner, from Auckland, daily Clematis, ketch, from Lyttelton, daily. Moa, brig, from Newcaillo, daily. That the Brothctly Love, the vessel on board of which the great circumnavigator, and discoverer of New South Wales and Victoria, Captain Cook, served his time and obtained his certificate as mate, should be at this time, after the lapse of upwards cf a century, going on her accustomed voyages, must appear wonderful to every one— but peculiarly interesting to the colonists of the continent whose unbounded resources, through Cook's scientific genius, were opened to the world. Yet, this U the fact, that only the other day this fine old vessel, amidst the admiration of numbers who «i itnessed her departure, left South Shields for one of the ports on the Baltic. With the exc-ption of Nelson's ship, the Victory, there surely cannot be any vessel afloat of sush his one interest. This grand old hulk ought, if not pretsrved as a great maritime relic by the British nation, to be floating m the New World, m the beautiful harbor of Port Jackson, at Sydney. — Sydney Mail.
