Melbourne. 30th April.

Despatches having reference to the Governor's recall were laid on the table of the Legislative Assembly on Friday, but were not complete. Mr. Cardwell vindicates the entire proceedings of the Legislative Council and severely censures the Governor for concurring in illegalities such as " tack," borrowing money, ignoring the authority of the Council and Supreme Court, allowing Customs irregularities, dissolving Parliament without Appropriaton Act being passed. He justifies the Executive Council's address to the Queen, condemning the Governor's language respecting them, and finally states, because the Governor intimates his determination not to trust to the advice of the petitioners if again in office, it is impossible he can continue to conduct the Government, and therefore will leave the colony as soon as convenient, handing over the reins to General Carey. Sir Charles Darling forwarded by the last mail an elaborate defence. The despatches comprise two hundred pages. Miss Darling married Captain Tyler on Thursday. A fair business has been done during the week, and .considerable purchases have been made of teas. An advance of one penny to two pence a pound is now asked. Six thousand bags of sugar sold well, at an advance of a pound to thirty shillings on last sales. A telegram, from Adelaide has the following :—": — " Inspector Roe and a body of troopers engaged in looking after the unfriendly natives of Lake Hope, who befriended King (Bnrke and Wills' expedition.) They also found a tree marked ' Dig,' and obeying the tree (.hey discovered a bottle, the contents of which indicated the spot where Howitt's stores were buried. The groceries were lotted through, and the fish hooks alone available. On their returning they found the aspect of the Northern country changed. There was plenty of green feed."
