ADELAIDE.
December 15
. Ernest Giles, the explorer, has reached Western Australia from Adelaide, with ten men and sixteen camels. The expedition has been successful; the country for more than a thousand miles in a straight line was simply an undulating bed of dense scrub, where waterholes were few and far between. On one occasion they travelled a stretch of desert 325 miles without water. They were once attacked by natives, but drove them off. The naturalist collected nearly 800 botanical and geological specimens; many of the former being quite new.
