Skutliorpe's brother telegraphs to Mr Dufaur that Mr Skuthorpe has declined to give even him any information regarding the Leichardt relics. His brother further expresses a doubt as to the bona fide of the discovery.
Later accounts confirm the previous reports of a hopeful prospect of the gold field at Mount Pool in the Grey Ranges, on the Western border, but at the same time is said to be somewhat risky. The route to the ranges is short of water and rushers to the field must have means. Correction —London, 22nd Feb. For Mr McCape read Dr McCn.be, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin. Melbourne Feb. 22. Owing to a misunderstanding, Swan, of New Zealand, and Barker have retired from the six days' walking contest which is now proceeding. Arrived—P. and 0. Co.'s s.s.
