SYDNEY.
January 31. Arrived, yesterday, Union Company's steamship Ringarootna from Auckland. H.M.S. Emerald reports that she has recently visited the scenes of the Sandfly, Zephyr, and Borealis massacres in the Solomon Group. She shelled the places, and burned down many villages. The natives generally had absconded, but armed boat's crews were repeatedly sent ashore, and one native was killed and another taken prisoner at Brooke's Island. The Emerald brings two witnesses of the massacres.
