The Lady Bird arrives with English news up to the 23rd March, then pomes the Nebraska with a summary dating only to the 6th of the same month, and telling us of occurrences of which we knew five or six weeks ago. In the same paper in. which her news appears we find that the Wonga Wonga has .arrived wjth English dates to the 25th, and before. we' have had time to unravel this mass of information that lies before us like a tangled bail of twine, without beginning or end; down comes the Alhambra, telling us what took place in London last Thursday week, and repeating a good deal of what w/e had heard by way of ''Auckland.'; Then, to add to pur -troubles, we have the Australian telegrams, which give in detail the news of the receipt of certain telegraphic despatches from the Secretary of )|tate jEgr the Oolonies, of the sending ,ofi which\ we ha% already been inforuied^alsolikdetail, by thd cablegrams—t]|at^^hjßdwo^)hceag^. \t the clqs&of th v »jj^elegr|^hica|ly' ?^ peaking, ■'trying wepk>}s '-feel fib the syjaptoms that the doc^siwouldCtell you (tiinghfc be W-pected-in a,nisn who hjad gone te/s&ed a.f ter/ii nearly Clipper of underdone pastry sao'd'semj^poked pprk".
