THE "Wellington Independent." Wednesday, June 5, 1850.

Tlie brig Louis and Miriam, from Sydney, arrived in port on Sunday morning last, after ti quick passage of 13 days. We havo lo thank Captain Pilfold for furnishing us with Sytlnei/ Herald's to the 18th .May. English' dates to the 29th January had been received, by way of Mauritius, previous to the brig's sailing. Nothing, however, of any great political importance had taken place in tlie mother-country since our last advices. The Continent was tranquil, although in many places wearing a threatening" appearance. The markets were in a healthy condition, and trade was brisk.

A quarrel had arisen between the Greeks and Admiral .Parker, in the Mcditeranian, which it was feared would lead to more serious consequences, from the probability of the Russian and French Governments espousing the cause of the Greeks.

Another expedition to the Arctic Regions, in search of Sir John Franklin, has beeu despatched by the Home Government. It has been placed under command of Captain Collinson, C.B, and commander M'Clure, and sailed on the 10th Jan nary.

Mr. Godlev's letter to Mr. Gladstone, on Colonial Self-Government, published in the Morning Chronicle, has been reprinted in the Sydney Herald. We shall take the earliest opportunity of affording our readers with a copy of it. An excellent summnry of English Intelligence from the Dome Neivs will be found in another part of to-day's paper.

Owing lo the lateness of the hour at which tlio proceedings closed, we have been compelled to omit the account of the trial of Goode, M'Ausliu, and Jones, for the wilful murder of John Ellis, on board the General Palmer. Full particulars, however, will appear in our next. The trial lasted two days, and the Jury was locked up during" Monday night. The Jury found theprisonerGoode Guilty, and acquitted M'Auslin and Jones. The Judge passed sentence of death upon Goode. M'Ausliu and Jones were brought up this morning and discharged.
