Another Explorer.—Letters have been received in"town which lead to, the apprehension that ; some Contretemps has occurred to Mr. Curlevns, who was out exploritognorth of Menindie, on the confines ot Queensland, as his horses have made on the Darling. Dick, thj blackfellow (who, it will be remembered, saved so gallantly the lives of MTherson and Lyons), has now deserted^-hia party (Conn's) and made the river.— Argus, April 29. ; Walker's Parity.—We have,news from Port Denison of Walker's Tmrty/M'Allister and Houston -havintr been sent there for supplies; while the rest remained camped onthe Upper JluvdekUi. After tracing Burkes prrty to* eight or nine camps on tbeirreiurn route, from the furthest • position on the hnders, traces" were lost. From certain indications, it was supposed they had made the eastern coast. Going in that direction, Walker'sparty pot. involved in heavy oountry, without discovering iurther traces. All tlie party were well. They have had to leave many horses behind; but, after the: receipt'of;supplies, will get them in again.—4r#HS Telegram, April 28. . ■ Tins Murray lUver Railway.—At Kyneton, on Thursday last, the Commissioner of Railways expressed his "confident hope that the railway would be opened to Castlemaine and Sandhurst in July nextnut, however, onthe Ist of that month, as the chair-' man of Sandhurst Municipal Council interpreted the remark, in his speech a few minutes afterwards. Bo rapid is the progress now being made with the works, we are happy to say, that there is every probability of. the hon. Commissioner's anticipations being realised. . Only three obstacles of nny importance now'remain to the immediate connection of Kyneton (and of course Melbourne) with Castlimame and Sandhurst, by a single line of rails..' These are She heavy embankment at Malmesbury bridge ovor. the Coliban, the Taradale viadact, and-the embankment at Castlemaine, nnd these great .works vrill all be finished within'five or six weeks from this date. — ■ uirgiw,.April-2ft.- - -
