-The following telegram was sent from Brisbane to Melbourne on the 15th :— " A New Guinea correspondent, writing from Port Moresby on August 18, says there is hardly anything to report as regards the Emily prospecting party. They .hate been further up the Goldie Biver than the Colonist party, and obtained strong colors throughout,^ so that they entertain the hope of finding payable gold. Exploring is difficult, as the country is covered with scrub, but it is easier to penetrate now than it was two months ago. A bottom has not yet been got in the river, but they hope it will be soon if the river keeps going down as it has for the last fortnight. The next six weeks or two months will, decide whether the Goldie contains payable gold. It is' pretty fairly healthy here now." i The' seti may he assailed with such epithets as greedy, furious, mad, wild, raging, and so forth; but it can never be called wreckless.
