The Titania may be expested in port, from I Dunedin, this day. The Times of the 26th April reports the Parisian . from Lvttelton, Jan. 20, spoken with April 6, in' ' 35 N., 37 W. I The W a tt-—From the terms used by our contemporaries in speaking of the mail just arrived, it appears that the cause of its delay and the means by which we have at last received it are not generally understood. The following explicit statement may therefore be satisfactory. The steamer Bombay, which left Melbourne for TTing George's Sound and Point de Galle on the 26th of April, ought to have reached the lastnamed port about the 14th of May, and then, after coaling, to have left Point de Galle with the maila of April for the colonies about the 20th of May. And there is no spare steamer kept at Galle for the purposes of the Australian services, j because Sydney is the refitting port, where the < one extra boat of the line lies for more than five * weeks in each trip. On the present occasion the Bombay did not make her appearance in Galle at ( the proper time in May, nor at all, bo far as we 1 yet know. Therefore, the homeward mails of j April from all these colonies failed to be j sent home by the regular packet from 1 Galle to Suez, and would certainly not reach England &i their due time. But if the Bombay broke down and went to Mauritius,, the y mail would be sent on thence direct, probably ( without much delay. In the absence of the Bombay from Galle, there was no boat ready there by j the 20th of May to bring on the English April mails to Australia. And it appears that no fit steamer could : be got for the purpose until the Salsette came in from China, on the 31st of that month. She was bound for Bombay, but her destination was at once altered, and her Indian mails, cargo, and passengers were transhipped to another boat. Two days were occupied in coaling, and the Salsette left Galle on the 2nd of Jnne, and reached King George's Sound on the 19th, and Melbourne on the 26th. - At that time there was no boat ready to come on to New Zealand, for the Albion had just arrived up with the homeward mail of June. This boat - did not hurry, but waited on till the 4th of July, when she brought on the Southern New Zealand mails at last, and handed those for Canterbury over to the Lady Bird in Port Chalmers on the 10th inst., 19 days after they were due. The ® actual detention was, therefore, from the 20th of May to the 2nd of June, or 13 days in Galle, ( from an accident, and from the 26th of June to the 1 4th of July, or 8 days, in Melbourne, from the 1 want of dovetailing in the services; or 21 days 1 detention in all, reduced to 19 by quick transmis- 1 don between Melbourne and this port.
