New Guines.
Brisbane, August 5. The Emily, from New Guinea; has arrived at Cooktown. A correspondent writes:—" We are very reluctant to send any news from here. Matters are certainly critical, and diggers look with great suspicion on any person suspected of corresponding with the papers. Mr Chester found most of the party sick on, his arrival. He distributed medicine and medical com forts, where necessary. He and Chalmers went to Laloke; Camp, and found many sick, and too ill to walk back to port. Horses were sent, and all brought in, and the health of the party generally is improving. The Dungowan left on the 16th for the south; Mr Chester was on board. The Emily arrived on the 26th, after a rough passage, with nine horses and 23 men. She lost nine horses on the passage. Five of the men who had gone further inland came on for. provisions, but will tell nothing, but they have returned, and being good men ■ hopes are, entertained of their success." The correspondent states:—" I have seen other letters; they all state that no gold, has been found. Two men returned in the Emily.—Australasian. • •
