The Lyttelton Times.

Wednesday, May 27. By the Dart, which arrived on Monday Jast, we have intelligence (rom England of a month liter than that.last published in our column*. There seems hide to say, e\en on the most marked topic of that period, the opening of parlie merit. What neWs .we have been able to s*eie,ct as* of the greatest interest we give fn another part'of'our paper. '' By the Comet we,have Australian mails, to the 30th ( Api,ii, from Sydney, and news from Nelson to>. the l,#th instant. > F,rom the latter place we.^give'Hie news of; most importance connected with the gold diggings. Of this there r-i'little to be gleaned excepting the'actual" fact of the increase of population and of produce upon the gold fields. If we take s any heed o£ private .reports (and ( they all tend one! way) we should say that the a\eiuge wjiges earned are about 7s. <per diem, and tbat.many are returning- to their homes. A natural explanation of this He3 in the fact, always mentioned, that the weather is unfavourable and the cold severe, arid that hiany'prefer waiting until'spring to try ti eir fottune. There is rio Knglish mail brought by this opportunity. The anival of the Febiuary mail, which was due in Melbourne on tli<? I9th t of April, would be delayed by the accident to the Oneida, and > would' be brought on along with the mail of March ,12, uhich v»,k«, due in* Melbourne on May 6th, two days after our latest ad\ices lioin that colony. Tfie'mall may still arfive in' time for the steamer Zinguti, which may, be expected in the course, of the week. An Australian and New Zealand mail is,,on board of the Caiiterburj. which lfc.lt Wellington hefoie the Dart, and may be expected at1 any time; •' We have reason to believe that tendt'r* had been sent in in answer to the advertisement of the New Zealand Government', 'fo ptovide steam communication between Austialia and the Coast of New Zealaiici, and that the negotiations were on the point of completion in the early part .0f,,, this month. The circumstances would be iiajrrnted at length itrthe Sidney papers whick have notyet come to' hand. 7 We find the

geneial subject of -steam comm^hicivtion, via Panama and by other routes, coaitjiented on by the seveial Aii^tiaiian .jounialw, aiid sonv* of their reinWj ks we purpose trai^isfeit'i'>g to our columns, as well vvoithy con- t gide/ation. t i , We devote our to-day to pub' | licntion of the news, received front* England - I a nd the colonies during the week, as usual lon the a,n-ivalof atnail.
