Overland Route to Western

Australia.

At a Meeting of the Committee for making

arrangements for an expedition to explore an overland route to Western Australia, held the 7th April, the Hon, the Surveyor General in the chair, the following resolutions were agreed to :

That a communication be made to the Government of Western Australia, detailing the objects contemplated by this committee, ard further stating that the assistance of the Government of this Province has been obtained.

That a communication be made to the Hon, the Surveyor-General, the Hon. the Advocate General, the Hon. G. Leake, Esq., of Western Australia, with a request that they will form a committee in conjunction with such settlers as may feel interested in the same undertaking, for the purpose of collecting private subscriptions, and co-operating

with this committee.

Resolved that similar communications be made to the Government of New South Wales, and to the following gentlemen who are requested to act as a committee with the same powers as that of Western Australia; Hon. E. Deas Thomson, Colonial Secretary; William Macarthur, Esq. ; Captain Parker; P. King. R.N. ; Stum Donaldson, Esq. ; George Maclean, Esq ; Charles Campbell,

Esq.

That the committee would propose in order to facilitate the progress of the expeditions, that depots be formed at Convenient points on the route that is proposes to make Fowler's Bay the first depot on the route from Adelaide, and to leave it to the Government of Western Australia to decide upon the sites which their local knowledge may point out as the most eligible for similar stations as far to the eastward as may appear

practicable.

That a subscription list be immediately opened in Adelaide to collect funds in aid of the undertaking.

That R.. F. Newland. Esq , be requested to act as Treasurer to this committee, and that at subscriptions be received at the Banks

of Australasia and South Australia.

E. C. FROME, Chairman,

CHAS. BONNET, Secretary.

The Committee again met the 9th April -the Hon. the Assistant Commissioner in the chair. It was resolved that the following statement head the subscription list;

"Several meetings having taken place at Adelaide of persons interested in the discovery of an overland route to Western Australia, and it being the general opinion of those meetings that such an enterprise would very greatly benefit the colonists of Eastern, Southern and Western Australia, lt was determined to open subscriptions for the furtherance of this must desirable object under the direction of the following committee :

Capt. Stuart, As-itt. Com. I. B. Strangway. Esq Capt. Grey Charles Bonney. Esq Luit. Frome, Surveyor. Dr Rankin

D McFarlane, Esq

David McLaren, Esq. George Hamilton, Esq. John Morphett, Esq. G.A. Anstey. Esq. R F Newland, Esq John Finnis. Esq.

J B Hack, Esq Ephraim Howe. Esq. E. Stephens, Esq. Edward Eyre, Esq. O. Giles, Esq. John Knott, Esq.

Charles Mann, Esq John Walker Esq. William Smillie, Esq. John Brown, Esq.

J. H. Fisher, Esq. George Stevenson, Esq.

The very great importance of the undertaking as leading to results and in all probability to discoveries, the benefit of which are at present unforeseen, but which, like the opening of the Murray to this Province, may pave the way to a high road from hence to Western Australia, will, it is hoped, meet with the support of the public winch undertakings of great national interest deserve, and which best evince the enterprise and well doing of a rising colony.

That Captain Grey being about to embark for England, the committee cannot allow him to quit these shores without expressing their regret that his stay has been so short, and the sense they entertain of the great interest he he has evinced in the welfare of the colony, and disinterested support he has given an enterprise which is likely to lead to such generally beneficial results as that under

consideration.
