We learn from South Australian telegrams published in Melbourne papers of the 25th ult., that " The crops of Mr Duffield, the well-known miller, whose mill was burned down a few days ago, have all been burnt. The fire was evidently the work of an iucendiary. The news from the far north is of a very favorable character. The weather has been very hot. The thermometer yesterday re^isterei 104° in the shade. There has been a large Bale of wheat at 4a Id per bushel, for immediate or January delivery. The market is firm, the quantity coming forward being small. The farmers are all busy reapiug their crops, and careless about soiling at present." Divine service, according to the rites of the Church ot England, will in future be held at Gladstone every Sunday at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. This very pniseworthy movement was commeuced last Sunday — the first of the year — when the li*y-reader, Mr T. J. White, officiated in the i morning, and the- Rev. W. P. Tanner in the afternoon.
