This vessel, which left Plymouth on the 13th October last, with about thirty passengers and a full cargo of general merchandise for this port, arrived yesterday. So remarkably fine was the greater portion of the voyage that until after reaching Tasmania the royals had not been taken in. After Tasmania had been sighted a succession ol strong north-easterly gales was encountered, which much retarded her progress. New Zealand was sighted on the 19th instant. The Dona Anita has brought in safety the deer shipped in London for this settlement, so that with care we may hope to see this noble animal domesticated among us.
