ARRIVAL OF THE "BOMBAY" WITH THE FEBRUARY MAILS.

— ♦ By the South Australian, which arrived at the Bluff yesterday morning, we have Melbourne papers to the 13th April. The Bombay had arrived with the February mails from Europe. The New Zealand parcels were shipped on board the Auckland early on the morning of the 14th inst. This vessel has not yet arrived, although she left Hobson's Bay six hours before the South Australian. We are, consequently, without our usual files of English papers, therefore extract from the J'ge' and Argus. The mail may be expected hourly. The following is -a summary compiled'from the above-named papers. [Since writing the above, the Auckland has been telegraphed as in sight] : — ' ■ (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Adelaide, 12th April.
