From Sydney we learn that the European Mail Company, on hearing of the accident to the Oneida, immediately determined to despatch the Jura, a fine steamer of 2,000 tons, with the June mail to Melbourne. This mail will therefore come by way of the Cape, and cannot be^ expected to have arrived in Melbourne before this time. The Mimmie Dyke, which vessel is to bring on the Wellington and Canterbury mails from Melbourne, cannot be looked for consequently, before the 10th of September. The^ Jura had been on the Mediterranean station, and some other vessel will be obtained by the company to join the Etna in that service. The schooner, Comet, hence July L, arrived in Sydney on the 19th of the same month.
