METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Our market, to-day, was but moderately supplied with
beasts. Nearly all breads moved off slowly ; yet Monday's
prices were supported. The show of sheep was limited,
and the mutton trade ruled firm, at fun quotations—the
best Downs having realised bs 4d per 81bs. Very few
calves were on offer, and the veal trade was active, at an
improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. In pigs and milch
caws, very little was doing, on former terms.

THE CRINAN CANAL.—Lest the public might be
led to suppose, from the graphic and very correct descrip-
tion given by our Ardishaig correspondent of the accident
to the Crinan Canal, that passengers will not be conveyed
this season by Glen Crinan, we may state for the informa-
tion of tourists that Messrs. David Hutcheson and Co., of
Glasgow, are arranging a mode of conveyance which will
make the " Royal route" equally pleasant and attractive as
formerly.
EXPLORATION of SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—Three
exploring parties have been out in South Australia, and
their reports all agree in announcing the discovery tf.;
valuable pastoral region to the west of Lake Torrens.
first to make the announcement was Mr. Stuart, a.prirtne
gentleman. He has been rewarded by the PrOmviesreedlby
lease of a considerable portion of the country
_c
him. The regular exploring party sent outbyditkshe Govern-
ment, under the leadership of ydtehr
same direction that Mr. Stuart had done. ooLue,
standing, which requires explanation,, led the GO ernment
to send another expedition, under
nMatiloiratWarburton, to re-
gentleman, with-
call and supersede Mr. Babpaget:to _ a
ed, plunged into the bush
out waiting for what he outlet')
and Major Warburton followed him up without being
able to catch him until the objects of the expedition had
been attained. Thee had been so ar satisfactory that
as to the good character of the new country
the testimony
has been well corroborated.—.4tatralian and New Zealand
