We have received a copy of the Ai iw« of the World, published in San Francisco on the departure of the steamer. There is really no later news than that received via Suez, the cause of which is explained in the following paragraph from the paper above referred to We had arranged for a lengthy telegram from Reuter, of Loudon, in addition to those in our columns dated last evening, to be prepared specially for the Colonies, giving all items of Anglo-Australian news ; the price of wool and colonial produce; the arrival and departure of Australian shipping, and generally whatever might bo thought of interest, but, for some cause not as yet explained, no such message has been received np to the hour of going to press.
