AUSTRALIAN.
Sydney, This day
The schooner Leslie has arrived from the Solomon Islands, and reports that the master was murdered there by natives, and that a rumor was current when she left that Captain Laurie, of the schooner Black Hawk, had also been murdered.
iNews from the Mount Brown diggings slates that the water there is exhausted, and the population has shifted six miles. One man has-perished from exhaustion while proceeding to the field, and it is feared great loss of life will take place unless rain falls.
