We re gret chat so fine a vessel on her first voyage should have been sent away in ballast, but the Company's avaUable tonnage being in excess of requirements/ tbe Wellington had to be despatched to India cargo seeking. She left on the 21st ult. for Point de Galle. The well-known Margaret Galbraith, another of the same Company's ships, was despatched for London on the 24th. She was full of cargo—grain and wool—the value of which was estimated at £82,912. INTERCOLONIAL. The Intercolonial trade of the month was confined to 18 vessels of an aggregate burden of 8950 tons, as against 21 of 11,001 tons for the preceding month. An analysis of the number gives nine arrivals, aggregating 3563 tons, and nine departures, aggregating 5114 tons. Excepting in the case of one vessel, the whole of the trade lay with Melbourne and Newcastle, that with the former port being sustained as usual by Messrs Mac mekan and Blackwood's fine steamers, of which the Tararua, Alhambra, and Otago put in periodical appearances, and were largely freighted with passengers and cargo. One sailing bottom, the brigantine Young Dick, came from Melbourne with a cargo of refined sus;ar. Prom Newcastle came the barqttes Woodville, Bobycito, Duke of Edin burgh, and Union, all coal laden, whilst a cargo of Tasmanian produce was brought by the regular trader, the three-masted schooner Agnes Jessie, from Hobart Town. Of the de partures Intercolonial, the steamers Alham bra, Tararua, Albion, and Otago, the first and third via the Bluff, and the other two j via Cook Strait and the West Coast. Four I vessels in ballast sailed for Newcastle—the j barques Fleur de Maurice, Lynx, and Wood ville, and the ship Mallowdale, which took her departure to-day, the 7th. INTERPROVINCIAL AND COASTWISE. The home_ trade proper has been well sus tained, and is represented for the month by 175 vessels of 19,027 tonnage, of which 87, aggregating 19,207 tons, passed inwards, and 88, of 93(52 tons, outwards. The trade is classed interprovincial and coastwise, and with regard to our connection with other Provinces, we find that the business done was quite up to afdage mark. The New Zealand S.S. Company's vessels have run to and fro with their wonted regularity, calling at all port 3 and receiving a full meed of patronage both in passengers and cargo.
