MURDERS BY THE BLACKS.- Intelligence was received yesterday, in Sydney, from the Bellinger River, dated the 17th inst., stating that Daniel Devlin, His wife, and Dennis Cheyne, all living on John Robertson's cedar cutting station, had been inhumanly mur- dered by the blacks. The same letter also   states that a civilized black, who had been living for a considerable time with Commis- sioner Massie, had been decoyed away and murdered by the Maitland tribe on the M'Leay River. The white population of these districts are said to be out in pursuit of tbe savages. The particulars may be expected in Sydney in a few days. Mrs. Devlin has left a child nine months old. Her parents reside at the Five Islands.-Herald, Mar. 30.

COOLIES.-An extraordinary scene pre- sented itself on Towns's (Late Jones's) Wharf since Friday morning. About 9 o'clock on that morning the Orwell, recently arrived from India, hauled alongside the wharf, and immediately the Coolies she has brought down, under indenture to Mr. Towns, Mr. Wentworth, and Mr. Campbell, of Bligh-st.,

crowded on to the wharf. Some few of them seem to have suffered from the voyage, but the great majority appear to be in good con- dition. They have not yet been furnished with their suits of clothing, and until they are so will not be a very pleasing spectacle. There are some women amongst them, and a number of piccaninnies, and these seem healthy enough. These people have been all brought out here under indentures to the gentlemen whose names are mentioned above, as " menial servants." They are to receive at the rate of five rupees per month, and a weekly ration. of 7lbs. rice, 1 3/4lb. dholl, 1/2lb. onions, 1/4lb. salt;- 1/4lb. chillies, 1/4lb. oil, and a suit of warm clothing each year. Besides

this, the parties to whom they are indented engaged to find a free passage to this colony, and to put on board for each of the Coolies, a brass pot, a brass plate, blanket, cap and   dhooty, and jacket.' Further, the parlies to whom they are indented are bound to pro- vide a return passage in five years from the date of arrival-Herald, March 30.
