THE ZELATEUR, FROM THE ISLANDS.
The little Norwegian barque Zelateur, which five or six mouths ago was wrecked in the Fiji Group, and was subse- quently re-floated, paid an unexpected visit to Sydney on Sunday night. She has come here from Wallis and Rotumah lslands, in the Fiji Group, and is commanded by Captain Molvig. The Zelateur sailed from Wallis Island on March 27 for Suva, to obtain provisions, but on account of light winds had to make for Rotumah Island. She left the last named port 16 days ago, and met with favourable winds during most of the passage. The Zelateur comes here in ballast and will be docked for cleaning. The little vessel has many months of marine growth on her bottom, and being in a dirty condition the passage was a long one.
