Herald, Jan..l 6. Expedition to Auckland Island.— A telegram from Invercargill, published in the Otago Daily Times, says: —" The belief of the possibility that Mr. Brown, and the boat s crew which left Auckland Island on the 22nd January, 1867, for New Zealand, has been driven on to Campbell Islaud, or some other, caused a movement among the residents here to have the Amherst equipped and sent on a search. The Provincial Government has now undertaken the whole responsibility ot this expedition. The Amherst is to be equipped and sent to examine all the islands m the vicinity of the Aucklands. bhe will probably sail from the Bluff on lucsday. Every attention continues to be paid to the survivors."
