Burke and the advanced portion of the ex- ploring expedition. Information of their pliable condition was at length brought to the reserve camp by an abm-iginal. and a relief party was at once sent out to their by brethren of acertainorder. We amusements Of'tbe day. All TO- nope that the Scoundrel or scoun- .muto was out 0i doors. The streets drels, be they who they may, will were filled with gay promenaders ; be severely punished for their ml‘. hundreds of union jacks and strea- suc’cour, and arrived just in lime to save them from what appeared to be cirtain death. Since that period the who.e ol the party have moved forward on Mr. Burke’s track, with the view of forming a permanent depot at Cooper’s Creek, which place it is supposed Mr. Burke had left for the interior. Macpbcrson writes: “ We two pushed on very hard for the water, and just as the sun got up we found ourselves in fearful pain; our tongues be- gan to stroll, and we could scarcely speak. We then opened our clothes, and allowed what little breeze there was to play about our bodies as we went along, and from this we found some little relief. \Ve went. along in this manner, suffering the most in- tense agony, and never speaking a word to, each other until we came to a place about ten miles on the track, when ,we sat down under a tree. \thn we got up we could not see the tracks, we Were so giddy ' and we were nearly blind. The agony of that little I cannot describe. We parted a few yards and neither one ofus was able to ask the other whether he had got the track. I presently lot:de round and saw Lyons going ahead as if he had found the track, but 1 could not cry out to ask him, and I felt angry that he could not turn round. lie walked on, however, and 1 followed, staring after him and I then found the track. The llt'Zil was now most intense ; we wi-rc extremely weak, and in fearful pain, and we had to sit down again about five miles from the water. \Ve did not. however, stay long, but pushed on again, and never halted until we arrived at the water-hole. ()ur feelings now I can- not describe. I felt as if that waterliole was worth the world. i shall remember that water-hole while I live. I feel as ifl could cry when 1 think of it. We drank about two pints cacti ; that made us feel Very queer, and We drank another pint. This brought all the skin right off our mouths, and tongues, and lips, and we felt great pain. We then threw our feet into the water, which relieved us greatly, and we bathed each other's bands, which was also a very great relief to us, Shortly af- ter this we were very sick. Vomiti-d a great deal,and we then fell asleep. ' How long we slept I cannot say, but we vverc awakened by the black fellow Dick, who made his way to the watt-r. He looked most miserable, and was Very ill lllt'ntlsb drinking two much water.” The sliills the party Were put to for food scrm to have almost reached the. limit of human en durance. After the only home which had been preserved bad in someriugasiire re- covrred, Macpherson went back to where the dead bodies of the others had lHll’ll lcli With a view of culling, oil. portions of tlini. flesh for food. He says: “ I got to the brown horse, and I found him Sivelled u, greatly, and a very stump, smell coming from him. 1 cut into the hind quarter and lit a file with a view to cook a portion 0; it, which 1 did, but. it would not stay on my stomach. I filled the baghviih there mainder ofthe meat, and tied it up in a tree, and went on to the place where. the saddles were, about two and half miles be- yond. I put the saddles together and covered them with an oilskin. I then started back again. 1 found the meat in the tree, but I could not take it: with mi» on account of the strong smell. I started to the camp, feeling very weak. Lyons asked me if 1 had broughtany ofthe horse flesh. I told him no, and he fell much disappointed. I went to the fire and had some tea, which at once made me Very sick. That night I was quite mad Willi pain and sickness. Next day we started off from the walerhole, following the tracks back, and we came to the Olllel‘ walerhole which we had passed before at a distance of about five or six miles. W'e camped there, and next day we made our way to the main part of Cooper’s Creek. We stopped all day there, and gathered a lot of nlussrls in the creek and filled our bags with them. We made an early start next morning, and went on that and the next day, subsisting on the mussels. ()n the third day after leaving the creek, mussels got: bad, and we camped all night. On the fifth day Dick killed a snake, and this we cooked and ate. On the following day we pushed on without anything, hoping to make Lake Toorcola again; and the sev- enth day we got another snake, and some Very young birds like svvallows' On that night we found three little native animals like rats. holes, and after a good deal of difficulty i managed to kill three of them by sitting up all night. Next day we travelled all day and all night, and on the following day Lyons’ legs began to swell up very high, and it was clear he could not keep up the walking. Dick and 1 then left him all the water we had [about a quart] telling him to come on slowly to Lake '1 ooroota, and that we would go on and get the black horse there while he was able to walk, and before the heat of the day came on, We were then about ten miles from Lake Tooroola. had made about half oftliis journey, he [Dick] lay down, and would not proceed any further, I then left him. going ahead myself with the horse. I got to Lake Tout‘oota and watered the horse. which was quite done up. 1 Tested him for two hours, and then went back to the place where we had been before, and where we intended to camp, in the hopes of finding the provisions which we had been told Were planted there' Lyons and Dick met me here. We also found a lot of blacks there. and they gave us some of their sued cake [iuendur]. and We stopped with them 'Wewvere five days dependant unpon the blacks in this way at Lake 'l‘ooroola. when communication. was'opened up with the Darling camp." extraordinary diminution in the exports from France to the United States, and remittances in specie were expected to be the consequence. was dull, and prices were nominal, owing to more genial tvcathcr. changed. returned from E0 flier funds for the prosecution of the Suez Canal. been spent without adequate results, an expensive dyke on the illediterrencan side having been washed away. thern Confederacy had reached Paris and had had an. interview with IV].

WE were very glad to see that our annual Fair. held at Mr. Joseph Gaby’s, was fully equal to any oi its predecessors, and in many rc- specls superior. There were not so many imported. stallions or matched carriage horses shown; but there was a larger Show of Brood Mares, Colts and Filleys; as also Horses in Single Harness and Saddle Horses. The show of cattle was also more numerous, and of better quality than on any former year. There were some good sheep and superior swine on the ground ; and «indie Agricultu- ral Implement line the show was ueverbcttcr. Henry Frank's Iron- beadcd Plough was justly admired ; as was also Mr. Henry Hall’s-Tron Plough; both these pionebs took the first prize. The Messrs. Pat- terson, with their usual li heralin contributed much towards the suc- ccss of the fair by exhibiting the following implements &c. which, as they are all first-class, and enjoy a provincial reputation, it is need- less to praise, for they only need to be seen to be admired: 1 Reaper, l Stump Extractor, l Fanning Mill, 1 Horse Rake, l Straw Cutter, 2 iron Plougbs, 2 Wood Ploughs, 3 Steel Plouighs, l Mower. Thrasher and Horse Power -â€"-1 Horse Hoe, l Scufflcr, 1 Road Scraper, Circular Wood Saw, 1 Boar, 1 Sow. The stock shown by Messrs. Miller, 'W. Baldwin, Henry Jen- nings, Edward Sanderson, &c., was very good. The company was numerous, the arrangements excel- lent; and the dinner provided by “mine lulst.‘ Juseph Gaby, first- class. After dinner the President, (it. Marsh, Esq.) priiposcd several loyal and other toasts, which were enthusiastically responded to; so that the day "passed over in the most agreeable manner possible.
