Albury, Wednesday.
Sir Henry Parkes, the Hon. J. Watson (Treasurer) and party passed Albury this evening without stopping, and took 1 special train at Wodonga at 8 o’clock, to attend the Border Duties Conference. They breakfasted in Sydney, and will partake of supper in Melbourne.
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.
