SYDNEY.
Overdue Mails from England.—Very few persons in ihe colony have letters from England of a later date than the middle of October, when the steamer Melbourne left England. The Woolloomooloo brought English newspapers to the 20th November, but her mail was only to the 13th. The Chusan's mail was a very small one, it did not being generally known in England that a mail was to be sent to India on the 24 th December. We are therefore on this 4th April nearly five months wishout English correspondence. The steamer Adelaide was to have left England a second time on the 25th December, but even if she were a day or two later she has been out upwards of ninety days, and as yet we have no news of her.—Herald, 4.
April Death o» Mr. Bidwbll.—Capt. Beneaud of the Tom Tough reports the death ©f John Came Bidwell, Esq., Commissioner of Crown Lands at Maryborough, on Wednesday, the 16th instant. The deceased gentleman was known in the colony as a botanist. and naturalist, and was much respected both in his district and in the Metropolis. Mr. .Bidwell was buried on the 17th. We believe he had been in a delicate state of health for some time.-— Empire, 24th Match.
