QUEENSLAND.
Favene and a party of the Queenslander eiqjlorors left Port Darwin by steamer Ocean. The leader of tho oxpodition reports that he has been completely successful in tho objects of the expedition. The proposed railway route, which was surveyed, is easy of construction, and there is available pastoral country all the way. Port Darwin is a fine harbour, and tho site for a city is unequalled. The Courifr publishes a leader containing grave charges against tho management of the London Missionary Society's work in New Guinea. It states that the late murders of Native teachers are properly chargeable to white missionaries, who placed Native teachers in a position of danger, which they dared not themselves encounter.
A message to the Commissioner of Police from Bleckall reports, that Sub-Inspectors Gough and Kaye are believed to have perished in the bush from thirst. Sub-Inspector Cheekes has gone in search.
