The September mail from Sydney reached Southampton, via Marseilles, on the 12th November. The Palmyra, from New Zealand, had arrived in England, but had -sustained great damage by collision with tho barque Ellen Morrison, off Portland. { The following vessels had sailed from England for New Zealand :— Oriental, November 1 ; Eclipße, November 6. Mr. and Mrs. Fell and family left Sydney for England on the 20th January, in the ship La Hogue. In the Sydney Herald of the 21st January, the steamship Prince Alfred is advertised to sail for Nelson and other New Zealand ports, on the 10th February. The brig Emma was advertised to sail from Sydney for New Plymouth and Nelson on the 22nd January. The Boomerang, Melbourne and Wellington Mail Steamer, Capt. O'Rielly, arrived in this harbour yesterday afternoon. She left Port Phillip Heads on Tuesday, January 18th, at 6.15, p.m. She waited three days for the arrival of the English mail. But up to the tune of the Boomerang's departure, it had not made its appearance. During the passage from Melbourne she had moderate winds and variable ; dark cloudy weather. In Cook's Strait experienced strong S.E. winds and clear weather; she brings thirty-four passengers,— Wellington Independent, January 26. The Boomerang in her last passage from hence to Melbourne was six days twenty hours, having arrived in Melbourne on Saturday, January Bth, at 10, a.m. Yesterday when off Guard's Bay, she passed a threemasted schooner beating to the Eastward. — Id. Tho steamer Queen, from Otago, arrived at Port Phillip on the Bth.— ld. The screw Btearaer Pirate, and the paddle steamer Geelong, sailed on the 15th from ' Melbourne for Otago. These vessels are intended for the coast and harbour work of that province. — Id. The brig Robertina, 213 tons, Captain Davis, from Sydney, arrived hi fchi9 harbour on Sunday last after a rather boisterous passage of fifteen days. She shipped forty-one horeos in Sydney, and has been very fortunate with them, having lost only one, notwithstanding the heavy gales she experienced from the S.W. She is bound for Otago, and is only waiting for a change of wind to proceed on her voyage. Messrs. Miles and Wintringham, two old settlers, are passengers by her. — Id. The following vessels are advertised in the London papers for New Zealand, viz :— Messrs. Willis, Gann, &Co's Line. —For Wellington and Nelson, the Ship Alfred the Great, 1,000 tons, P. M'lntyre, to sail in November. For Auckland direct, the Excelsior, to sail in November. For Nelson and New Plymouth, the Acasta, to Bail in November. For Otago, the Honbury, to sail in December. For Canterbury and other ports, the Caduceus, to sail in December.— ld. Shaw, Savixle, & Co's .Line.— For Wellington, the Eclipse, 500 tons, J. EH'ott, to sail on the 31st October. For Auckland, the John Scott, 1,200 tons, to sail on the 10th November. For Otago, Tamora, 700 tons, to sail on tho 31st October. For Nelson and Otago, the Mariner, 1,000 tons, to sail on the 20th November.— ld. i Australian Emigration.— ln mentioning the sailing, this day, of the Royal Charter, for Melbourne, with a full complement of passengers of all classes, and a cargo of great value, we May notice the succeeding ship of the same " Eagle Line," the far-famed Great Britain, which will sail on the 15th of next month. The Great Britain iB as famous as the island after which she is called ; and although not so old, nor likely to last as long, she is apt to fill a page or two of history, for she has really done the State some service — no vessel afloat can excel her in that respect. She has carried thousands under the snow white flag of peace to a distant colony, where energy and exertion have been duly rewarded. When the trumpet of war awoke the world from its peaceful slumbers, and the red flag of oppression menaced European liberty, the Great Britain went careering over the wide waßte of waters full of noble hearts and athletic arms to repel aggression and aid the weak. Now, again, she is destined to return to her former and primary path — that of peaceful commerce and the continuation of commercial traffic between almost the antipodes of the globe. The history of this great leviathan is remarkable. We saw her on her first voyage, and examined her in her gorgeous pride, and we hesitate not to say that the vessel this day is &9 good and as strong, and even superior in her fittings, than she was on that day. We need not refer to what has been done to make her perfect, nor to what she has done to obtain fame since the period we speak of. We have had a careful look over her during the week, and we admire her now as much as ever. It would seem that her owners (Mesßea. Gibbs, Bright, and C 0.,) are never tired of working for the benefit of the public, who &o largely patronise the " Eagle Line " of Australian packets, and although there was hardly anything necesßary to be done on board thin gigantic ship, yet they have made important internal alterations and improvements, for convenience of passengers. Thcso have been suggested by experience, and close attention to the wants of passengers. Attached to every state room in the ship, are closets, &c, which render their apartments perfect in all respects. The second, intermediate, and third class cabins, have been all removed, and amplified considerably. More space is allowed for Bleeping rooms, whilst light and ventilation arc augmented on a large scale. The furniture and other
