KIMBERLEY.
The following lclLor from a well-known Mauterton man has been placed at our disposal for publication :-Uear Amul, just a lino to say wo landed nll^afs. At Derby but wo have the Worst journey to do yet. News is very poor here aWmk tho diggings. Wo were seventeen d»j» coming from Sydney to Derby. 'Wo called at six different.ports coming along. Derby is but a-small place as yet, and it is about three miles from tho sea. They had groat work laiiding tho horses as it is nothing but a inud bank, the men w|r pulled them out being covered from Tupd to foot with mud. The.climate is .gaafc tho days being warm and the nights 6M$ with cool breezes during the day. J would not advise anyone to come to tifc diggings until they hear better news. J\'» heard better hbwb in Now Zealand we lmvo heard since. Although thwe are hundreds of men waiting here raw, they don't know whethor to go or net until they hear bettor news. 1 must twy conclude, hoping this will hdxon quite well as it leaves me. Rem Jpr me tu all kind enquiring friends. lTomajn io, C. Des Forges.
