The Lyttelton Times. Wednesday, October Bth.

The brig Mountain I laid, and the schooner Phcobe arrived in this harbour on Sunday evening. The news brought by those opportunities will be found elsewhere. The English mail of June sth is wanting. The Saldanha, by which vessel it was despatched, had not arrived in Melbourne by our last accounts. There is alsa a considerable gap in our Australian riles; those which we have received appear to have come by the Cheetah to YvYiling-lo::, and ext-n 1 to the ltfth ult. At tlv.it time the llornhig Light, with the English mails oi' the sdi July, was considered due. It will be seen that uev.s had arrived to the 2nd oi'.niiy in anncitmtione:' that mail.

Wellington on the 2nd instant from Sydney, with news of the arrival of the Morning Light, Royal mail ship from Liverpool, in Melbourne, on 17th September, bearing the mails of the sth July. These mails have not come down to us. but %ye have Melbourne papers to the 19th ult-, which contain all the news in detail. The Saldanha, with the missing mail of the sth June arrived in Melbourne on the same day with the Morning Light, and eight days after the Golden Era, which brought the loth June mail. We have, therefore, in our issue to day to report English intelligence which arrived in Australia by four different opportunities (not including the authentic news brought by the Marion, the rumour of which came to us some time ago, by way of Otago), extending over six weeks from May 22nd to June sth. We can scarcely, therefore., guarantee our readers against confusion, especially as the latest news has reached us so shortly before going to press, that details are impossible. The news by the Morning Light is not very important. Parliament was expected to rise on the 24th July. Mr. James Sadleir had escaped to America from under the surveillance of the police. The Queen, Prince Albert and the Princess Royal were to visit Prussia in September. Russia appeared to be preparing for warlike operations on the Circassian frontier; but the inhabitants are all under amis. The points at issue between the English and States' Governments are stated to be in a fair train for amicable adjustment.
