vernor, Sir H. Young, on board, arrived at Adelaide
on the Ist August. The Forlarshire sailed from
Plymouth on the 27th April.
The A ustralian papers are otherwise devoid of
intelligence. The Abberton, which left Plymouth
on the 24th April, had arrived, as also the barque
Gratitude, which left London on the 14th of the
same month.
