FORBES.
July 14.—The bushrangers John Thomas and William Read were to-dny committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions at Forbes. These desperadoes were armed with splendid breech-loading riflo guns and revolvers. Tho gallant capture of these men, near Bourkc, by Sub-Intpector Stepbenson and his men, after a long and arduous chase, it is thought, merits some reward, as, by their timely copture,many a deed of violence has been prevented.
