COLONIAL

NEW SOUTH WALES.
We have received Sydney and Maitland papers to
the 24th of March. They contain full details of a ju-
di.ial investigation into the circumstances attendant
on the deaths of Mr. Kennedy and his comrades.
The expedition left Sydney in May, 1848. Mr.
Kennedy's instructions were to land at Rockingham
Bay, and proceed thence to Port Albany at Cape
York, where a schooner was to be in waiting for him
with *applies from Sydney. Ile was then to return
by the western side of the peninsula. The party con-
sisted of 13 persons-12 Europeans and an aboriginal
native. They landed at Rockingham Bay on the 21st
May, and commenced their journey on the sth June.
The country was so difficult that on Nov. 10 their
camp was pitched only 25 seconds north of the
12th degree of S. latitude, near Weymouth Bay.
Their stores, too, had been improvidently expended
by the person who had been entrusted with the can
of them on starting. Mr. Kennedy determined tie
leave eight of his party here, and go on with fur
Europeans and the native to Port Albany, and tetanal
with supplies. One of the Europeans shot himasl4
and the other three became so exhausted that at Shel-
burne Bay Mr. Kennedy was obliged to leave them
behind also, and push on with lackey lackey (the
native) and three horses. By the time they reached
Escape River Mr. Kennedy was so exhausted as
scarcely to be able to proceed. They were here
within twelve miles of Port Albany. A numerous
party of blacks who had beset and followed them
for some days here made an attack upon and
killed Mr. Kennedy and severely wounded his at-
tendant. lackey contrived to escape their pursuit,
and reached Port Albany on the 23rd of December,
where he was taken on board the schooner. The
captain ran down the coat to Shelborne Bay ; no
Users were found of the three men left there, but
articles belonging to them having been found in the
penession of the blacks, no doubt remains that they
bays perialiel. The schooner next proceeded to
Weymouth Bay, where only two of the eight left
behind were found alive-Ih. Carron the botanist,
and William Goddard. These two were in such a
state of exhaustion that it was long doubtful]
whether they could survive. After receiving them
on board the schooner proceeded to direct to Sydney,
where there facts were elicited by the judicial investi-
gation above alluded to.
"It would appear," says the Sydney Morning
Herald, "that as far u earnestness of purpose, un-
shrinking endurance of pain and fatigue, and most
disinterested self-sacrifice could go, the gallant leader
of the party exhibited a model for his subordinates.
But the great natural difficulties they had to en-
counter at the outset of the expedition, so severely
affected the resources of the adventurers, that they
sank under an accumulation of sufferings which
have rarely if ever been equalled in the
most extreme perils of the wilderness." The courage
I and the devoted attachment to Mr. Kennedy dis-
played by his native attendant were beyond praise.
The poor fellow's description of his muter's dying
momenta cannot be exceeded in simple pathos "
asked him, ' Mr. Kennedy are you going to leave
me ? ' and he said, Yes, lackey, my boy ; I am
going to leave you.' He then said, ' lackey, give me
taper and I will write.' I gave him paper and pencil
and be tried to write, and he then fell back and died.
And I caught biro as be fell back and held him, and
I then turned round myself and cried. I was crying
a good while till I got well; that was about an
hour, and then I buried him.° lackey carried Mr.
Kennedy's papers ate far as fe could and then
secreted them ; but even if the blacks have not dis-
covered and taken them away, it is extremely doubt-
ful whether he could trace out the spot where he left
them. The balk of the papers and specimens were
left at Weymouth Bay, but some were carried away
by the rains while the men were too weak to take
cue of them. One box of specimens and an abstract
of Mr. C4rron's journal were carried on board with
huh and Goddard. The camp was tilled by the
blacks immediately after they left, and all the rest
were lost.
There is only one other item of general inte-
rest in the papers we have received, and that
is of • scarcely less painful nature than the one
we have been narrating. It will be remembered that
some time ago a number of female orphans were sent
out to Sydney from Ireland in the Inchinnan. On the
arrival of that vessel at Sydney, a complaint wan
lodged against the chief mate for assaulting several of
