It turns out, after all, that the Auckland mail by the Colmnhidn was {orwaided to Sydney, and not, as repotted, by the Marchioness to Wellington. Much to the giatiftfeation of e\ery one, it was received on Saturday morning by the Emily Jane, Captain Beer. This clipper schooner has recently made some excellent passages, and, between Sydney and Auckland, has fully maintained her character, hating, under circumstances not altogether favorable, sailed the distance in nine days. bhelett on the 9th iivuant, three days after intelligence reached Sydney ot the accident to the Denny, was detained off the coast 38 hours by baffling -winds, iUtprwrtrds, had the wind tro.n south. By this opportunity M.ijor-Gencrdl Taylor has returned to the Colony from d visit to India When the Emily Jane left, the Bristol, schooner, wa 1 - all but ready for sea ; the Sporting Lass and Gertrude alao being on ihe berth for this port

Accident to the Mail Steam-ship Onhida.— After the Cine passages made by all the steamers which- up t6 the present time have reached Sydney, forming a portion of the European and Australian Royal Mail Steam Company's fleet, it is much to be regretted that we have at so early a period to chronicle a serious misfortune which has occurred to" the pioneer of the line — the Oneida. This

ii the mon to be lamented as the events subsequent to the accident have rendered the calamity vexatious from the fact that the Simla had left King George's Sound just one day before the Oneida returned to that port which ret\~ dered it necessary for her to await the arrival of the European. The Simla learning no tidings of the Oneida at King George's Sound, and proceeding on her voyage without any knowledge of the accident, will leave a lengthened period open for apprehension, both in Jiidia and England before it will he possible for the particulars to be known. Orreat fears will of course be entertained respecting the "missing steamer." And we must now wait patiently for an overland communication from Great Britain until the 9th of next May. The following report has been handed to us hy the purser, hy which the extent of the ace dent will be seen ;— On the 4th of February we left King George's Sound with fresh breezes (N.N.W.) ar,d clear weather. On sth February, strong gales (N N.W.) with heavy swell ; rounded Cape Lmwin at 10. 45. s.m. On 6th February at 3. 30. a.m., in latitude 34 degrees 45 minutes S , longitude 114 degrees 50 minutes E. the|crank pin of centre engine broke, and on examination by the ch ef engineer, it was ascertained that the foundation plate had also given way ; a consultation was held as to the best means to be adopted for the speedy forwarding of the mails and passengers, and it was deemed most advisable to return to King Geoige's Sound, as speedily m possible, to meet the next steamer, due on the 21st February. From the 7th to the 16th of February we experienced strong gales from S.S.E., with heavy sea, the vessel under all possible sail,— engineers employed by day and night repairing the engines. At 11 a.m. started engines, latitude 55 minutes S. longitude 112 degrees 39 minutes E., strong gales from S.S.E., with clear weather. 18th February, strong breezes and cloudy, and drizzling rain ; all possible sail set. 19th February moderate breezes and fair weather ; made all sail for King George's Sound, steering E.N.E. until 2 p.m., then strong breezes and thitk weather, with very heavy sea. 20th, thick hazy weather with strong breezes, 6 a.m. increasing to hard gale, with heavy weather throughout. 21st, strong gale E.S.E., and hazy, with rain. 22nd. ditto, ditto. 23rd commencing with strong breezes, increasing at 8 a m. to hard gale, with heavy thick weather, unable to see for more than one mile a-head. Noon, more moderate; 2p.m. weather clearing, stood in for King George's Sound, and at 6 45. p.m. brought her up in outer harbour. Enployed durng stayfn King George's Sound temporarily repairing engines until 24th March, when the passengers (64) in number, and the mails, were transferred to "European," Captain Parfitt, which sailed for Galle on the evening of that day. The Sea Bird had just put into King George's Sound, leaky, and we brought a portion of her cargo to Sydney. — Herald. * The Oneida, R.M.S.S.— A consultation of all the most eminent engineers in the city has been held to advise upon the best method for the repairing of her machinery, and it has been decided that the injury is of such a nature that it would be most advisable to send her home. Under these circumstances, Mr. Larmour, the Manager of the Company, has determined to despatch her on the Ist May. The machinery will be put in order as an auxiliary power, and will be enabled to propel her at the rate of five knots in fair steaming weather. This with the great spread of canvass which she can show, will, it is anticipated, enable her to reach England in time for the July sales. This will be a most eligible opportunity for wool and passengers, as there is no doubt of her making a first-rate passage. The Gazelle, schooner, hence the 26th Nov. arrived at Shanghai on the 15th January. The Signet, barque, for London, via Kaipara, sailed from Sydney on the 20th ult. On the 17th ult., the George from New Plymouth, arrived in Sydney. The Queen of 'Perth left Port Cooper for Melbourne on the 13th March. She had not reached Melbourne ■when the Zillah left, nor have we seen her arrival subsequently reported. | The Sporting Lass, arrived from Auckland yesterday, reports having experienced a very heavy easterly gale ion Friday last. The William Denny, steamer, was to leave Auckland for Sydney on the 2nd instant. Three . days after sailing, a steerage passenger, named William Hale, while in a state of delirium tremens, jumped overboard from the Sporting Lass ; a buoy was immediately thrown to him and the boat lowered ; but on reaching the buoy the man was not to be seen though not more than ten minutes had elapsed. — Empire, March 16. The Gertrude arrived yesterday, after a very fine passage from Auckland, havinghad a fair wind nearly the whole of the way. She reports the loss of the steamship William Denny, at the North Cape of New Zealand, full particulars of which will be seen in our shipping column. The Moa was loading for Sydney when the Gertrude left. Captain Dunning informs us that nearly all his cargo is engaged, and the Gertrude will sail in a very few days for Auckland.— Empire, April 6. The Waverly, ship, had arrived at Melbourne, in 79 clays from Liverpool, bringing news to the 15th Jan.-^ 3 days later than by the mail steamer— but containing nothing of moment. The following are the names of the passengers per Kenil worth, Captain Thorn, for Auckland and New Plymouth, from Gravesend January 3. — Major and Mrs. Barnard, Mr. and Mrs. Carrington and family, Dr. and Mrs. Weekes and child, Mr. and Mrs. Richmond, ,Mr. and Mrs. J. Bailey, Miss Harriet Baker, Mr. T. P. Anderson, Mr. W. Carrick, Mr. Alfied Adams, Mr. E. Strangwayes, and 33 second and third cabin passengers. [The Dr. Weekes mentioned above is an old fellowcolonist ; he returns to our shores after a long sojourn in California and elsewhere.]
