. party had a good day's hunting yesterday, killing eight kangaroos. Parliament has adjourned- until the 3rd December, as it is probable the Prince will remain until the end of the month. The commercial news by the mail is considered favorable. Large wheat orders have been received, and prices are consequently firmer. Sales 4s lid, but most - parcels are withdrawn from the market. The Prince's party to the Lakes reached the south eastern side of Lake Alexandrina on Monday evening. _^ A large party awaited the arrival of the wl steamer Queen at Port Macleay, and a large gathering of blackfellows had also assembled at this place, upwards of 200 of whom had ai'rived from opposite sides of the Lake two or three days previously. A large fleet of their canoes were lying along the shore. The tents and equipments of the Prince's party .were all on the ground. In the course of yesterday there were numerous arrivals of pleasure parties ty water from Port Elliott, Goolwa, Milan?, &c, and from various places overland. The concourse was very great. At the black camp there was a large flag which had been brought over by the Goolwa blacks, and on which was inscribed a peculiar blackfellow's welcome. ■ The grand corroboree came off late in the evening, to the immense delight of all present, and to the evident gratification of the Prince. Five different tribes took part in the affair, which was altogether a highly unique exhibition. The officers of tho Galatea, who have been enjoying themselves on Yorke's Peninsula, have returned. In a kangaroo hunt, some of them were dismounted, and one midshipman was thrown, breaking his arm and dislocatnag his elbow-joint. There is to be a grand concert at the Port, under the patronage of the officers of the Galatea, on behalf of the local benevolent fund.
