SCRAPS CONCERNING KIMBERLEY.
A telegram from Adelaide, dated the 3rd inst., says:—" Persons who have returned to Derby from Kimberley goldfields, report that there is a good road to the field. Only 50 men were on the field when they left, but 300 have left Derby since* and the same nnmber have leit Cambridge Gulf. Nearly 500 men are still in Derby. Some diggers repo t finding a 20uz. nugget." Latest accounts from Combrid"e Gulf a.s to the state of Irade there are anything but encouraging. A cable message received from the schooner Linda Weber, by Cipfain D. H. M'Kenzif, i, to the effect that the: supply of goods exoeede 1 the demand
and from Captain Smith, of the barque Notero, which arrived on the 29th ult. after a 28 days' passage, we (Auckland Herald) learn that business is of such an unsatisfactory nature that the Notero has landed nothing of her cargo at Cambridge Gulf but has gone on with it (sailing on the 9th inst.) to Perth. There it will be sold by auction. The Notero is to return to Lyttelton from Perth with a cargo of jarrah timber.
