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 of a
valuable pastoral region to the west of Lake Torrens. The
first to make the announcement was Mr. Stuart, a private
gentleman. He -has been rewarded by the .promise of a
lease of a considerable portion of the country discovered by
him. The regular exploring party sent out by the Govern-
ment, under the leadership of Mr. Babbage, took nearly the'
same direction that Mr. Stuart had done. Some misunder-
standing, which requires explanation, led the Governmen
to send another expedition, under Major Warburton,
with-
out re-
call and supersede Mr. Babbage, and that gentleman,
bush
out waiting fer-what he anticipated, plunged into being
and Major Warburton followed him up without
ableio catch him until the objects of
been attained. The result had been

The Madrid journals of the 12th state that some
sensation had been caused by M. Aparici y Guijarro,
a member of the Extreme Conservative party,
having presented to the Chamber of Deputies a
bill for establishing universal suffrage, and for
depriving Government functionaries of the right
of sitting in the Chamber ;. but it was not thought
likely to pass. The Monarquia had had to storm. d,

rested in it having withdrawn part of the caution
