New Zealand Spectator AND COOK’S STRAIT GUARDIAN. Wednesday, January 28, 1852.
Thk William Alfred brings English news vid Sydney to the 27th September. Further intelligence of the gold discoveries in New South Wales had reached England, and the British Government had invited tenders for a bi-monthly steam communcation with Sydney vid the Cape of Good Hope, which the Times considers perfectly inadequate to the wants of the Australian colonies, and to the extensive emigration likely to take place. The Kate had sailed from Sydney for England with two tons of gold, and the Melbourne from Port Phillip for the same destination with nearly two tons and a quarter of the precious metal; the two ships were expected to arrive in England about the end of April. The Port Phillip gold districts appear to surpass in richness those of New South Wales, but the gold diggers were suffering greatly from the heat, and their operations were interrupted for want of water.
