Since then she has had light northerly, and westherly winds. She is bound to Otago, and has put in here through stress of weather. Has seen no vessel since leaving Newcastle. Steamer Undine. — We understand that this little steamer, which has lately been built in Nelson for the Wairau trade, is expected to make her first trip to Blenheim in about three weeks, and that it is the intention of her owner to ran her between Nelson and Blenheim fortnightly. — . Marl boron t)h Press, August 3. The clipper barque Constance, Captain Butt, appears to have settled down in the San Francisco trade. She starts on her third Californian voyage this day, Mr. George Henderson proceeding with her as a passenger. It is very desirable to maintain and to extend our intercourse with the parta of the North Pacific ; and we are happy to find. as a means to that end, that an experimental and valuable shipment of sheep has been made from the celebrated flock of Mr. Robert Graham at Motu • tapu; these consist of Leicester, Lincolnshire, and Spanish Saxony rams. From the superior class of these sheep, bred in the colony, it is to be hoped that the experiment will prove sufficiently successful to induce further and more extensive shipments. — New Zealander.
