SYDNEY.

We forward regular files of our paper to the Sydney Herald, Australian, and Register ; we expected to have had some returns by the Vanguard, which left on the 3rd instant, but none have reached us. Messrs. Bethune and Hunter have kindly favoured us with the Herald of 28th December, from which we glean the following late news from England, dates having been received to the 17th of September — " Trade was still brisk, and wool maintained its price. 120 tuns of black oil sold at £27 15s. to £30 15s. per tun ; 10 tuns sperm oil sold at £81 10s. to £83. " Lord Stanley was called by writ to the House of Lords, which created a vacancy in the representation of North Lancashire. " Her Majesty was on a visit to Scotland, where she was the guest of Lord Glenlyon. The infant Piince was baptized by the name of Alfred Ernest Albert." " Private letters state that it it is rumoured that Mr. Pritchard was about to return to Tahiti in a line-of-batt!e ship, and that a first-class frigate and several smaller vessels were to be stationed at Port Jackson. "Admiral Hamelin, who is to succeed M. Dupetit Thouars in the command of the French station in the Pacific, had sailed from Rochefort in the frigate Virginie."
