Great satisfaction is felt in the safety of the geographical party, and immediate steps were to be taken to recall the Opal, and also the party that started from Thursday Island. It seems that the party were unaware of the rumor concerning them until their arrival at Thursday Island. The rumor apparently arose from the fa (ft that when the party were attacked two natives managed to get away, and these reported that the whole party was surrounded and killed. All the party are well. They are very reticent as to their dis-

The party expect to reach Sydney next Wednesday. Adelaide, November 27. The Council has carried a motion in favour of holding a public Exhibition, but the Assembly negatived it by a large majority.
