ENGLAND.
The Sydney papers contain a few extracts of English news, but nothing of importance except accounts of an unprecedented destruction of shipping attended with very serious loss of life in consequence of violent gales terminating in a hurricaue. Sir Robert Peel's Secretary Mr. Drummond had been shot by an assassin by mistake it is supposed for the Premier.
We have also numbers of the New Zealand Journal of the 7th- and 21st January. The most interesting news in these is the formation of a New Zealand Society, having for its object the advancement of the welfare of the colony, and consisting of absentee proprietors and all others interested in it. It promises to be of the highest utility, and we hail its formation with pleasure.
