Owing to February being a short month, the Wonga Wonga, from Honolulu, with the European and American mails via San Fiancisco, would not be due at Auckland until the 15th instant (to-morrow.) . . . The mails via Suez will be due at Melbourne on the 16th inst, and it is quite probable that the steamer which is supposed to leave for New Zealand on the 15th may be detained in order to bring the mail on, as was the case last month. . . . The outwaid mails for Europe, &c, via Suez and Brindisi, were despatched hence this morning by the Lord Ashley, for the South.
