Sydney Shipping. The Juno steamer was to sail a few days after the Frolic with part of the 58th Regiment for Wellington. The Star of China and the William Hill were also to sail immediately for Wellington. The Brig Emma was advertized to sail for Auckland. The Comet has made a very fair passage, heing only seven days from Queen Charlotte Sound, she epoke the whaling brig Pryde, of London, on the 7th instant, off Queen Charlotte Sound, clean. The vessels that were to leave London for Sydney in December, »re beginning to make long passages. H.M.SI Rattlesnake was at Plymouth on the 7th December, and would probably sail on the 10th, so that she has been out one hundred and thirty-one days, but as she was to call at Madeira and the Cape, she can hardly be considered overdue until theJend of the month, although she may be expected every hour. The Thomas King was advertised to leave London on the 10th, and the Mount Stewart Elphinstonc on the 15th December; but it is probable that neither of them would leave . London on the 20th, which would make them one hundred and twenty-one days out. The January packet, the name of which is not yet known in Sydney, h«s been out about a hundred and six dayii

Upon referring back for a number of years, it will be found that the vessels leaving England about the beginning of the year always make long passages, and that the January news for the last five years has invariably come via India. In addition to the above, the fo lowing vessels were also expected : — The Barque Boadicea, 427 tons, to sail January 5. The Barque Raymond, 498 tons, Hart. The Ship Prince of Wales, to sail January 20. The Brig -Sir John Byng, being under engagement with the Commissariat Department to proceed to Port Nicholson with a cargo of coals, for the use of H. M. Steamer Inflexible, will sail for Newcastle this day to load. She has been detained the last two days in consequence of several of the crew having deserted. — S.M.H., April 27. The Schooner Comet has hauled alongside the Commissariat Wharf to take in Government stores being under engagement to sail on Thursday next. — Ib. The Barque Elora, Turnbull, sailed for Bombay, April 15th.
