The "Carnatic," from London, direct, arrived in port on the 10th instant, having made the passage in 99 days from land to land. The voyage presents no particular incident, but is described as pleasant throughout. She is not one of the Messrs. Willis's regular traders, having been put on by Messrs. Green as an experimental ship. By her we have but an imperfect file of papers, and her mail generally is short, most of the letters and papers for Otago having been sent by the "Constantine," which sailed for Wellington about the same time as the "Carnatic."

Sailed. Dec. 11, the Rajah, 651 tons, master for Wellington, J, Macandrew & Co., agents. Passengers:-

For Freight, Charter, or Sale.
The new schooner "Mary" about 15 tons, built at Half-Moon Bay, Stewart's Island. For particulars apply at the Office of this Paper, or on Board to the Owner, John Williams.

By the "Mary," which arrived from Southward on Wednesday, we learn that Mr Howell's schooner, the "Eliza," was loading with spars for Sydney, which, we are informed, are selling there at �2 10s per 100 feet, being squared previous to shipment. The "Otago" was daily expected with a cargo of sheep.

Arrived. Dec. 26th, schooner Mary Jane, 40 tons, Morrison, from Wellington. Passengers - Charles Logie, Esq., and Mrs Logie and family.

Sailed. Dec. 26, ship Carnatic, 632 tons, Snart, master, for Port Victoria, with part of the original cargo and passengers from London.
