NEW PLYMOUTH, April 7. A strong party under Messrs Curtis and Penn have returned from searching for the missing man Southwood. His gun, leggings, and spur were found on a ridge some 600 ft higher than where his horse and ooat were found, plainly indioating the man's intention of ascending the peak. No further traces could be found higher. The gorge on both sides of the ridge was carefully examined to the snow line, but above that point the arctic severity of the weather prevented any thing being done. Further search is regarded as hopeless whilst the present cold southerly weather continues. WELLINGTON, April 7.
