The Collaroy arrived last night from Newcastle, at half past ten o'clock, having waited the arrival of the Hunter, at two p.m. There has been no communication with Maitland since Friday last, and as the railway is in some places four feet under water, there will be none by rail for some days. The Cullaroy will not leave Sydney, until to-morrow, Wed-nesday, night, and Captain Mulhall hopes by that time the

waters will so far subside as to allow him to proceed to Marpeth.— Empire, 25th August.
