Mr Howitt's Diary.

The following is a copy of the diary of Mr Howitt, the leader of the Victorian Exploration Party, which was received in Melbourne yesterday, by the Exploration Committee, along with a despatch, given in another part of our paper, dated Jacob's Station, Parallana, South Australia, 4 June 1862.

Tuesday, 3 June 1862 - Jacob's Station - Parallana.
Arrived in the afternoon, after a cold ride over bare stony plains skirting the ranges. Very hospitably received by Mr Cummyns, who is rendering us every assistance. Indeed, we met with the most cordial reception everywhere. Shall leave on the return journey in two days.
