• Mr.-Oxlev, the Surveyor-General, was sent out
with a-,party in an expedition to the westward of
the Blue Mountains, to trace the course of the
lately discovered river Lachlan, and to ascertain
the soil, ckvpabilities and productions of the coun-
try thro wb Which it was expected to pass in its
course v., the sea. itlr. Oxley left Bathurst ou
the 30th April, 1817. He proceeded down the
U4ehlart unel the 12th May, the country
rapidly descending until the waters- of..the rivtr
rose to a level with it, and dividing into numerou-
branches lost itself among marshes. Mr. Oxley
quitted the river on the 17th May, taking a S tV.
course towards Cape Northumberland. He con-
tinued this course until the 911i-4une, when he was
induced to change his course to North. On this
course he continued till the 23d June, when he
again tell in with a stream. which he could with
difficulty recognize as the Lachlan, it being little
larger than one of the branches of it where it was I

quitted on 17th May. He kept along the hacks of
this stream till the Bth July, when the whole
Country becaMe a marsh altogether uninl►abit-
ahle. This tinlooked4or and truly singular
tetutination of a river, filled the party with
the most', painful sensations. They were full
five hundred miles. west of Sydney, and nearly
in its latitude; and it had taken them ten weeks
of uniemitteir exertion to proceed so far. Ile-
truning down the Lachlan, he recommenced the
survt•v of it troth the point on which it was made

the 23d June.- The connexion with all the points
ot the survey previously ascertained was com-
pleted tretWeetr the 19th July and the 3d August.
It was' estimated that the river, from the place
where first made by Mr. Evans, had run a course,
btldilg all its windings,' of upWards of 1200 miles,
a kngth of comae .alikether smpreeedented, con-
sidering that the original is its only supply of
water firming that distance.
•
" Crossing at this point,"' says Mr. Oxley, in
his Report, " it was my intention to "take a N. E.
course to intersect the cou»try, andrif possible,
kt scurf am what had become of ;the Macquarrie
River. whtcl,-, it was clear, had never joined the
Lociqan. This course led us through a country
to the full as bad as any we had yet seen, ant?
equally devoid of water, the want of which again
much distressed us. On the 7th August the
scene began to change;and the Country to assume
a ecty different aspect. We were now quitting
the neighbourhood of the Lachlan, and had
passed to the N. E. of the high range ot hills
winch on this parallel bounds the low country to
the north of that river. To the NW. and N. the
country was high and open, with good forest
land; and on the 10dt we had the satisfaction to
fell in with the first stream running northerly.—
This renewed our hopes of soon falling in with
the -Macquarrie and we continued upon the same
course, occasionally inclining to the eastward,
Omit the 19rh, passing through a..tine luxuriant
country, well watered, crossing in that space ot
time nine streams, (raving a northerly course
through rich wallies, the country in every direc-
tion being moderately high and open, and gene-
rally as fine as can be' imagined.

" No doubt remained upon our minds that

those streams fell into the Macquarrie, and to view
it before it received' such an accession was our
first wish. On the 19th we were gratifi,d by
in with a river running through a most beau-
tiful' country, and which 1 should have been well
contented to have believed tilt: river we were in
search of. Accident led us down this stream about
a mile, when we were surprised by its junction
with a river Coming from the south, of such width
and magnitude as 'to dispel all doubts as to this
last being the river we had so long anxiously
looked for. Short as our resources were, we
could not resist the temp.ation this beautiful
country offered us,• to remain two days on the
junction of the rivers, for the purpose of exa-
mining the vicinity to as great an extent as pos-
sible.

" Our examination increased the satisfaction
we hao'previously telt ; as tar as the eye could
reach in every direction, a rich and picturesque
country extended, abounding in limestone, slate,
good •limber, and every other requisite that could
render an uneUltiraled country desirable. The
soil cannot be excelled, whikt a noble river of the
first magnitude afforded the means of conveying its
productions from one Wirt to the othet;. Where
1 quitted it it't course was northerly, and we were
then north of the parallel of Port Stephens, being
in latitude 32 deg. 45 min. S. and 148 deg. 58
Min. Hist Vongitude."
The course mud direction of this river is to be
the object of an early expedition.

raoreort..---One ot the most ilkgraceful
scenes which e%,er took oi the atinds of
Electing, Corr eats was we tressed to the ,10 wit
Hall of the City of Derhaei on Thursday last.
It will be remembered, that three Caoliiilates were
regularly nroposed and secoraied, as fit and pro-
per persons to represent the Ci y e,t Derhatu in
the ensuing Parliament, on ‘Vedtieselas the litb
June. The Volt commenced on that day, aid was
adjourned to let, in ;he morning of Thursday. At
the opening of the. Court Air. oiee of the
Candidates, thought lit in his wisdom to etddresa
the Electors. He had the unparalleled ha:tailored
to demand of Mr. flis:es by What authority 'be
kept the Poll open on Ihe part of ALLAN,
and observed, using the most opprobrioda
that such condo& was an invasion of the Sato tat
tights of the freedom of Elect ors. lie (Mr TAY -
Lott) would, in the next Session of Perhanieut,
bring in a Bill to pot an end to such disgraceful
and abowjpable.acTs, and ill the preamble to that'
Bill be would specify the names of those wl,es.
were_ the authors of such vile proceedings. 'Mr.
TAYLOR further ' observed to Air. HINE,S, that
many a man had been eo:ntuitted Newgste for
a much smaller offence than that of which be, Air.

behind, and he. would take care to, bring them
before the House of Commons.—Air Mines said
none were bellied the curtain. Then said Mr.
TAYLOR, " you are the Nery devii himself." Cal!
it be believed, that in the Town (Jail of.airhatn,
such -language was tolerated by the Electors ?
Yes, to the eternal infamy .and disgrace of the
freemen such language was not only tolerated but
applauded. Now, let us for a moment etapore
what authority Mr. TAYLOR had for demanding
of Mr. HINES the reasons and the motives for the
Poll being kept open 'tor 'Mr. Aeuaie: Mr. AL-
LAN bad been proposer, and seconded, and freemen
were then readyita tender their suffrages for him,
and yet this Mr. TAYLOR, this tricod it; the people,
this assertor of the people's rights, was labouring,
and did all in his power, to deter Ho rceenreo out
offering their voices, by the threats which he
held out. Was not such conduct the gretrest,in-
vasion of the privilegesattot treedoin.ot 'Election
that was ever pra-ctisert, and WVelt this: ilorlisra
able Gentleman is constantly preaching up, .and
appearing to defend ? lint when exerei•ed against
himself, the parties so exercising the ritib s agaiast
him ate termed imps of hell, demons of darkness,
not having liftman shapes, but sera devils, argil
deserve to be sent to Newgate fur such conduct.
It appears to me at least, that:the return of Mr.
TAYLOR is voidable, aini open an inquiry before a
Committee ot the House of Conouons, I have li'tle
doubt of his Election being declared vow ; be-
cause the moment the Honourable Candidate had
recourse to these threats, and endeavoured to de-
ter Freeman from exercising their elective tt an-
chise in behalf of Mr. ALLAN, the Freedom of
Election was at an end, the rights of the Free-
teen were grossly vinlated, end themselves ceellec-
tively
end individually insulted. Mr. Hines is
himself a Freeman, and in my opinion lo'st au
opport unity of immortalizing himself for ever.
What bad he to do with Alr. TAYLOR'S threats,
and Spa-fields oratory, but to treat it with silent
contempt, or otherwise Co appeal to his bro-
ther Freemen for protection ? and had he done so
at that moment, Englishmen would never have
heard his appeal in vain. What, was it not com-
pra•lit for Mr. HIKES, as a Freeman, or any oilier
Freeman, to propose to the Mayor any Gentleman
as a fit person to be a Representa,ive; before the
poll was closed ? and would not the Mayor have
taken the suffrages of the Freemen iii slide per-
son's behalf ? Then, if such is allowed to he the
case in this instance, how much more must it be
correct and legal to vote for a man Who was Do-
minated aad seconded at the saute lime Mr. TAY.
Loa himself was proposed and seconded ? I'h6
visit to the Grainge by three Gentlemen was one of
the most impudent and mutations excursions which
the world perhaps eau afford; and for what per•
pose was it ? Why, to inquire what were Mr.,
ALLAN'S motives for continuing the contest for
the,houour of again representing the City of Dur-
ham, and to know by whose antlioril the poll
was kept open Good God ! is it possible that
men of any understanding, with the ideal, I had
almost said, an ideot possesses, could so far be-
tray their duty to themselves and to their brother
Freemen, as to be prevailed upon to accept such
high diplomatic powers, proving, by their con-
duct, they weie unworthy of being called Free-
men, and dishonouring a name, glorious perhaps
till it was their's. What tight had Mr. t naeott
to arm his agent with such poa ers ? What tight
had the persons sent on this wild-goose clhoe to
request Mr. ALLAN to signify his intention of con.
tinujug or discoloinuing the pell, et lieu his autho-
rity :or continuing the poll had been received only
a tesy hoots before ? And supposing the parties
sent on this celebrated embassy had, by their ora-
torical talents, succeeded in getting Mr.ALLAN
relinquish the contest, might not ,till thesFree-
met) have persevered in giving; their suffrages to
him, and could the 'lemming Officer have closed
the poll 2—No such thing.
