VICTORIA.
Melbourne, March 27.
Chidley, the inventor of the flying machine, had a public trial to-day, but a strong wind blowing upset the machine, and the occupant was thrown violently to the ground, receiving rather a severe shaking. Melbourne, March 28. A silver rush has taken place at St Arnaud, 158 miles from here. The leases applied for include public streets and reserves. The Mines Department consider the rush unjustified. The man Grocock, who was sensentenced to death for a murderous assault on Collins, the station master at Glenhuntley m December last, has had his sentence commuted to fi/teen years' penal servitude, with two floggings of fifteen lashes each.
