NEW SOUTH WALES.
(Received April 8, 12.30 p.m.) Sydney, Monday. Private letters from Samoa state that all the crops have been destroyed by the recent hurricane and that as all the stores have been used np in providing fov the shipwrecked sailors there is every probability of a famine at Samoa. Several churches in Sydney have announced their intention to devote their collections to the relief of the Samoan people. The merchants and shippers of Newcastle have he'd a meeting and passed a resolution in favor of a fortnightly San Francisco mail service. (Received April 9, 1 a.m.) Sir Ronald has been scratched for the Sydney Cup. Heavy rain has fallen generally throughout the colony. The drought in .the western districts has fairly broken, and good winter lambing is expected, as also good winter feed. The ram has had the effect of opening the Darling river (which was partially closed through the drought) to navigation, and the large stocks of wool which have been detained in the interior will now be brought down the river for transhipment to market.
