Bt the recent arrivals from Sydney yesterday, the December and January English mails have been- received. Our files of Sydney papers extend to the 3rd of May, containing English news to the 7th of January, from which we have selected the most interesting extracts.

During the last two days, owing to the late sudden change in the weather, we have had several arrivals from Sydney. The barque William arrived on Monday, after a passage of twenty days, with a cargo of 230 head of cattle, and 150 sheep, which she has been fortunate enough to bring into port without any loss. Her original , destination was | Auckland, but meeting with very heavyweather,, she put , into this porJL The schooners Sara% Ann, and Despatch, and the brig Bee, which arrived yesterday, also from Sydney, loaded with stock, have not been quite so fortunate. The biig Bee shipped a very heavy sea, which completely filled the vessel, and carried away her jib boom. All the vessels experienced very rough weather.

The Undine arrived on Saturday from Nelson having on her way from thence looked in at Queen Charlotte's Sound, and afterwards proceeded to Waikanae, where she landed the Bishop of New Zealand. We believe his Lordship, after having visited Waikanae and Otaki; intends walking to Wellington. The Government Brig was entering Nelson as the Undine was leaving it.

We are glad to have the opportunity of contradicting the announcement of the death of Mr. Galpin's daughter, made in our last number, which was furnished from a source on which we placed reliance. We are informed that notwithstanding the severe injuries she has received, from the favourable symptoms exhibited, hopes are entertained of her ultimate recovery.

On Friday last a party of the armed police, consisting of four white men and two maories, captured a man of the name of Feel and two deserters at the Muka-muka rocks, where they had put in from stress of weather in a whaleboat. On seeing the police, Peel and his comrades fled into the bush, but by the judicious measures adopted by the police they were secured and brought in to Wellington, together with the whaleboat. The police deserve great credit for the apprehension of these persons. Peel was concerned in the robbery of Mr. Greenwood's station at Port Cooper, but managed to escape at the time ; his companions were however captured, brought to Wellington, and tried, and sentenced to be transported . Peel was brought before the Resident Magistrate on Monday, and remanded.
