NEW SOUTH WALES.

Albury, Wednesday.

Sydney, Wednesday. A reef has been struck ten miles from Cobargo. The prospects are good, a pound of gold to the dish having been washed. Kate Kelly and her brother, with Ned’s horse, &c., commenced to exhibit them selves in an old out-house up a lane in King-street, a few doors from Pitt street; Kate and Jim on horseback, the former on Ned’s grey mare, and the latter on Kate’s pony; Kate is dressed in deep black and Jim in bushranger’s attire. They conversed freely when spoken to. The attendance during the evening was very large; the price of admission being one shilling. The police are unable to stop the show, but have to stand at the end of the lane to keep the footpath clear.
