QUEENSLAND.
A correspondent of the Ownsville Standard, writing from Herbert River, states that two white men, with a Kanaka and a black boy, went to punish some blacks for trespassing in their potato garden. Finding the blacks, and meeting three girls, they shot them, and burnt the bodies, making the husband of one assist. Tbe date and locality is not given, but the Sub-Inspector of Police telegraphs that, after careful inquiry, he can bear nothing of the alleged murder.
