Since our last notice, five ships have arrived in various parts of the colony with a total of 2,090 immigrants. The Kopua Natives, it is said, have upwards of 100 acres of wheat sown. It is stated that there are at the present time no fewer than 120 Q-ood Templar Lodges in New Zealand. The whaler " William G-ifford " lately arrived in the Bay of Islands, with oil to the value of £16,000,, the produce of a year's cruise. The latest news from India is re-assuring. Favorable rains have fallen, the crop prospects were good,, and all danger of wide-spread famine was at an end* The Pilot at Wellington reports the existence of two sunken rocks off Barrett's reef, one lying about one hundred feet to the eastward, and the other about the same distance to the westward of the Outer Rock, the three lying nearly in a line East and West. There is twelve feet of water on theserocks at low water, with deep water all round. We perceive by the Melbourne papers that stepa are about to be taken for getting additional lights on King's Island, which has been the scene of so many disasters, the last being that of the "British Admiral," an account of the wreck of which was given in theWalca Maori of the 30th of June last.
