Gong° TO AIISTRALIA.—On Monday evening last
the workmen employed at Mr. Reed's boot and shoe estab-
lishment, Market-street, Devoisport, invited the son of their

Market-street. The occasion of this meeting and enter-
tainment was the leaving of the Mears. Reed, Jour., for
the diggings. They proceed in the ship Maria Shtlson,with
a large stock of boots and shoos of the value of several
thousand pounds, and these being commodities which are
much in request at the diggings, the specul►tion will no
doubt be one successful in Its results. The party numbered
about 60 ; the supper was a well•served repot, doing great
credit to the worthy host, and the evening was spent velry
pleasantly, " success to the voyagers" being the prevailing
toast. Wehope their enterprise will most with a suitable
reward. . _
