The Adelaide Observer, of the 6th September, has intelligence of
Captain Stud, who left Adelaide more than a year before with a party on an exploring expedi- tion to the Northward, and about whose fate some anxiety had been felt. On the 18th July, according to a letter from himself, he was at a temporary depOt, formed at the distance of about 500 miles from Adelaide, in longitude 141 deg. BO min. East and latitude 29 deg. 40 min. 12 sec.; being about 90 miles E. by S. from "Mount Hopeless," and near the tuming,-point of Mr. Eyre's Expedition in 1840. Mr. Poole, the second in command, had died. Provisions were collecting for farther explorations in another direction; Captain Start still having expectations of an "inland sea"; though in Lake Torrens "they found little to represent the large body of water heretofore so circumstantially described." By the arrival of the Terror, which left Auckland on the 2c1 instant, we learn that all was quiet at that settlement. The Slains Castle and her Majesty's ship Daphne had left for the Bay of Islands with the troops and ammunition.— Australian Journal, Sept. 20.
