I'The Foxhound has brought advices from Port I Jackson to the 13th of June, uhich are not only interesting to European curiosity, but - of consi derable importance to our New South Wales Colony. it : was stated_ a year ago that a passage had been effected across the Blue Mountains, and that a most desirable country had been discovered to the west of those towering - heights : and we have now the additional gratification of staling, -that a communication has been opened to it of easy access, running tin oni,l) lands of the first de scription. The Colonists are indebted for this acquisition to their resources to the exer ions of C. TtittosaY, Esq. a large land and•stock holder, many years resident in New Solidi Wales, who, after two preceding attempts, succeeded in May last, with the assistance of two 'wive guides, COOCKOOGONN, Chief of the Biallib-hurrah tribe, anti DUAL, in passing frrim the Ctiw Pii3WreS direct for Bathurst, having cno-onntered only those difficulties iuseparahly atteothint on the first ex. plurers of the forests of a new country. Mr. THROES?' was, on the whole, occupied fit cell days on the expedition, his progress being pr o . trotted from some of his party falling iii, and bad weather; but by the delay he. had greater, oppor • tunil y of exam ining the country on each side of his route ; and in his letter ,to the G. ntlemati, from whom we have the information, he says, " I haven() hesitation io stating, we have a coun. try fit .for every 4 1 04 any purpose, wilere fine woolled sheep - may be increased to any amount, in a,cri mate peculiarly ,congenial to (brut ; ere long you will hear of a route being contittu;tl to the southward, as far em Tie,-toted Bay, nod so on further in succession tkrougli a cottony asmucit more beautiful and superior to the Cow Pastures, as that now enviable dislrict is to the land, conti glions to Sydney, and where our berds,sotir flocks, anti our cultivation, may unlimitedly increase, at an inconsiderable distance front the great and grand esseniial in a y o u n g co lO u y— water car riage." 2 The following exfiaet'of a General Order from the (iovernor on the occasion, will evince his Ex cellency's istitnation of tl a importance of Mr. THROSBY'S exertions : " G. and G. O. " Government-House, Sydney, May 31, IRI9. • "Ilia Excellency the Governor having received and per used the Jourii,il of a Tour lately wade by Charles Throsby, Esq. by the way of the Cow Pastures to n.ethurst, in the new discovered country westward of the Blue Mountains, takes this early opportunity publicly to announc e the happy resu lt of an enterprise, which pi °wises to c,ndtice in a very emi nent degree, to the future interest and prospciity of the Co lony._ "The communication with the Western Country baring been heretofore over a long and ditticti.:, range of ni , nataios, alike ungenial to man and cattle, from theirparched and bar ren state, it became an ohject of great importance to discover another route, wh ‘ ereby those almost insurmountable barriers would be avoided, and a more ',lactic:able, and consequently less hazardous, access effected to the rich and extensive plains of Bathurst; " His Excellency ad% erts with pleasure to Mr. Throsby's general report. of the capabilities, qualities, and features of the country intervening between th e ('ow Pastures and Ba thurst; which he represents to be, with few exceptions, rich, fertile, and luxuriant; abounding with fine run, of water, and all the happy varieties of soil, bill, and valley, to tender it not only delightful to the view, but highly suitable to all the purposes of pasturage and agriculture. The importantle of these - discoveries i 4 enhanced by the . consideration that a continuous range of valuable country, extending from the Cow Pastures to the remote plains of Ba thurst, is uow fully a.ccrtinned, connecting those countries with present settieme:its on this side the Nepcan. °' His Excellency the Governor, highly appreciating Mr. Thrusliys services on this occasion, offers him this public tribute of acktiowledment, for the zeal and persevel ance by which he was actuated throughout that arduous undertaking; arid desires his acceptance of one thou San d. acres of land in, any part. of the country 'discovered by himself that ha may choose to select, •' By conimand of his Excellency, (tiiictle:j) "'.J. T. CAN' PBELL, Secretary." By the Shipley, that had sailed on the Ist of April, but has not vet arrived, between two and three hundred troops were sent home, which has lett the colony with a force of only five hundred men for its protection. The number was deemed inadequate for the purpose, and the settlers (in other respects gt►in4 on prosperously) were in auxiey and al;+►ln on that account. An increase of military force has been long expected by the Colony, as well as a brig of war at Sydney. All the benevolent institutions, especially the Orphan 'School, founded by the excellent Lady of their former Governor, Captain KING, are producing the btst effects on the rising generation. A NARROW E,cApa.-.--On Thursday last a lad, of 14 years of age, residing in Park -street, Cul lese-street , observed an old iron swivel guu lying about the house, and being desirous of cleaning it. be pot the breech into the fire, and seated himself before the muzzle to watch it. In a few si..eo..ds an explosion took place, and the boy felt himself wounded in the front of h:s throat. He was conveyed to the Infirmary, where a large ta ble-folk, withoot the wooden part of the wag taken from the wottinf, the whole of tie iron up to the prongs, (between tour and fire inches in length,) been buried - in his throat.— 'fire fork, it is supposed, had passed between .the windpipe and the great blood vessels on the left side of the neck. If the powder had not been very - much damaged, or if the fork had taken a direction a little either to the right or tolliekitt it would, probably have caused instant death.— Ar present, however, the latLappears to be doing well, but is by no means*tiurvol danger.—(Bristol Journal, .Oct. 30.) . Sousa TuttoATl.—At this season of the year, when many people are afflicted with that danger ous and distressing complaint, a sore throat, the following Recipe for its cure is said to be very useful :—Take a glass of olive oil, half a glass of spirits of turpentine,.mix them together, and rub the throat externally, wearing flannel round it at the same time. It . proves most effectual when applied early. Swett oil will answer the purpwe equal)? well, ;: i qt\
