New Zealand Spectator, AND COOK’S STRAIT GUARDIAN. Saturday, November 15, 1851.

By the Henrietta from Otago and Lyttelton, information was received yesterday of the arrival on the 10th instant, at the latter settlement of the Sir George Pollock, from England with emigrants, after a favourable passage of one hundred and sixteen days. The Henrietta brought on the Sir George Pollock's mail for Wellington, and Nelson. We observe that the following ships were laid on for New Zealand : The Lord JPtlHam Bentinck for Auckland, New Plymouth, and Wellington, to sail Ist August; the Cornwall for Canterbury, and New Plymouth, to sail August 12 ; and a first class ship by Messrs. Willis & Co., for Nelson, Wellington, Canterbury, and Otago to sail 20th August. The Australian and New Zealand Gazette, makes the following judicious remarks on Mr. Fox’s conduct, in withholding from the Government, the plans, documents, and records of the New Zealand Company having reference to their sales of land :—

“Now Mr. Fox may be altogether set aside in the matter, but the welfare of the colony should not be interfered with for his whims, and it behoves the New Zealand Company, for the sake of its landowners, immediately to repair his.blunders by giving full instructions on the subject, so as to aveit the inconveniences "which must arise from it. His object no doubt was, as is evident from his recent acts in the colony, to annoy the Government; but this must not be permitted to interfere with the Welfare of the settlers. We have no fear of the New Zealand Company doing what is right in the matter, and their first step should be to Repudiate the acts of their agent, and concur With the Colonial Office in giving every possible laciliiy to those who for their sakeshave so long been kept out of their lands. That tips should a retarded, would be as ridiculous as is the course pursued by Mr. Fox himself.” The numbers of the Lyttelton Times and Citago Witness received by this opportunity contain no local news.

The William Sf James, which arrived from Sydney yesterday morning, has brought English news of later date than had been previously received. We call attention to the fact, because this news was received from California by way of the Isthmus of Panama, and thence conveyed to Sydney and Wellington by sailing vessels, shewing that the communication by England with the Australian colonies is much quicker even with sailing vessels from the Isthmus than by the ordinary route. lhe Don Juan was advertised to sail from Sydney on the 4th November for Nelson, Wellington and Lyttelton.
