BAD NEWS FROM KIMBERLEY.
(via the bluff,) Port Darwin, July 27. REPORTS from GambriJgeGulf and King's Sound states that no gold has been received from the Kimberley diggings for about two months. About three thousand men ate now in the Kimberley district. Cartage to the diggings is eighteenpence per lb. f rum Derby or Wyndham. The prospects of the field are not considered to warrant the present rush. The country proniises better for reefing than alluvial mining. A party of three men who were prospecting in a gully were attacked by the natives. One was speared through the heart, and another in the forehead. The former died instantaneously.
