ARRIVAL OF THE 'SUSANNE,' FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

The Hamburg brig, 'Susanne,' 255 tons, Capt. P. J. Moller, arrived here yesterday, from Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope. She brings 84 immigrants, whose names and callings are appended. She left Table Bay on the 6th ultimo and has been fifty days out. Strong N. and N. W. winds wore experienced throughout the voyage. Ran down her easting in the parallel of 50° south. The Three Kings were made on Friday at midnight ; North Cape was passed the following day. No vessel was sighted during the voyage, until arrival at the Bay of Islands, where, on Sunday, she sighted and boarded the American whaler 'Roman,’ 40 months out, with 2,900 barrels oil, and had at the time two large whales alongside. She is bound home. This is the first vessel arriving at this port direct from the Cape of Good Hope (war vessels excepted). She is in good trim and is very roomy for her tonnage. Before leaving the ship an address was presented to the Captain, by the passengers, expressive of their high opinion of him, the ship, the officers, and crew, dwelling more particularly upon Captain Moller's kindness to the children and female passengers, during the voyage. She brings 316 boxes raisins, and 100 casks Cape wine. She belongs to the well-known firm of J. C. Goddefroy and Sons, of Hamburg. After discharging her passengers and cargo she will proceed to Valparaiso. Mr. Charles Petschler is agent.

At sunset, last evening, a signal was flying at the north head for a sail in sight.

The barque 'Glenshee,' was anchored off the north head, yesterday, where she had arrived from the Tamaki, awaiting a breeze to proceed to sea. She is bound for Wellington.

It will be seen, by advertisement inserted elsewhere, that excursion parties will have little difficulty in visiting the North Shore Lake during the summer months. Yesterday the 'Salcombe Castle,' Captain James, sailed from Onehunga for the Albertland Settlement on Kaipara, conveying thence a considerable party of the special settlers, per 'William Miles.’ The immigrants left Onehunga in capital spirits. Mr. Brame accompanies the party, to direct them to the various' blocks of land, and to attend the next land sale at Mangawai. on December 4th. During the stay of the immigrants at Onehunga they were kindly entertained by the Rev. Mr. Laishley and other friends.
