For the last sixty years-if we are not mist AIKEN
the tract in question has been wandered over by
the colonists and thei; convict seryants but until
the present moment not syllable has ever been
breathed Of the neighbour hood Of Bathurst as gold

and their domestics may, however, be accepted as
a sufficient counterpoise against this drawback; aud

that il should be permite to tuTn the balance.
Everything must have q beginning; and 1t would DO

guarded against. The discovery of this Australian
