THE PALMER. THE Chronicle of the 2nd says:—A party of Chinese on their way to Cairns about ten days ago, were attacked by a tribe of blacks—only five escaped, seven of the Chinese being killed. The fugitives arrived at Granite Creek with the fatal news, and Tong Hop and Constable Dawes brought the information to Maytown. Only the hats and portions of clothes worn by the unfortunate deceased were found, the bodies were probably carried off to satisfy the cannibal propensities of the marauders.
