The House of Lords having rejected the Bill for repealing the Excise Duty on Paper, the Government now propose to admit foreign paper at a customs duty simply equivalent to the excise duty levied at home. English paper pays an excise duty of lid. per lb. Foreign paper now pays an import duty of 21d. per lb. This ld. per lb. in excess of the English excise duty was fixed in 1853, after a careful review of the whole case, in substitution of a much higher duty, and to countervail the export duties levied over the continent of Europe on rags oming to this country. The export of rags from all the continental states is either absolutely prohibited, as in France and Belgium, or a duty is levied upon their export, ranging from £6 in Russia to £l2 10s. in Holland per ton, the average over the whole of Europe being £9 per ton. The effect of these export duties is to enable the foreign manufacturer to purchase his material from 35 to 50 per cent. lower than the English maker. The supply of material for making the better class of paper is constantly deficient in this country, rendering it necessary to import a large quantity from abroad. The importation of foreign rags into this country in 1859 was 14,598 tons. The material of which medium qualities of white paper are made being 50 percent, of the whole cost, the foreign maker can produce paper 25 per cent. cheaper than it can be made in England. In proof of this advantage possessed by foreign makers, the Government returns show that large quantities of foreign paper are now being imported at the duty of 21d. per lb., or Id. per lb. in excess of the English excise duty. It is now proposed to admit foreign paper at a duty of 11d. per lb., or simply the equivalent to the excise duty, without exacting that which is manifestly just to the Eng lish paper maker—a free export of foreign rags. Under these circumstances all fair competition will be rendered impossible, and the result must inevitably be to transfer a large proportion of our home manufacture to foreign countries, as this measure, if carried into effect, will give the foreign paper maker a clear advantage of one penny per lb. in the English market more than he now possesses. • It is said by those who are favourable to the measure of the Government that the discrepancy which now exists be tween the price of English and foreign material would right itself in time ; that the effect of an increased importation of foreign paper would be to depress the price of material at home and raise it abroad. To this we reply—First. That the depression at home cannot take place to the extent which is expected, because the American supply being equally deficient with our own . we have now to compete with them in our own market for our own material ; and they, being protected ageinst all foreign competition in paper by a 24 per cent. import duty, would always be able to pay a higher price for rags than we could if foreign paper were admitted into this country on the terms proposed. In case of any fall in the price of rags here, the Americans, who are now e purchasers of 20,000 tons of rags per annum from Contin en t (paying the export duties), would find this their cheapest market, and draw their whole supply from hence. Secondly. That an increased import of foreign paper Would .not necessarily involve an increased demand upon the foreign material, as the 34,500 tons of rags which are now exported by foreign countries to this country and America could and would be manufactured into paper abroad and shipped to this country without any additional drain upon the foreign rag market, or in the slightest degree affecting the price. On a liberal calculation, the whole quantity of rags con sumed in this country for making white paper does not exceed 80,000 tons, so that the 34,500 tons of rags, if re tained by the foreign manufacturers, would furnish them with a supply of rags sufficient for nearly half the con sumption of white paper in this country, without increas ing their own collection of rags or enhancing their price, It is said that we must seek out some new material, some foreign fibre, as a substitute for the refuse material we use. Our answer is that we have no preference for one mate rial over another except that which is dictated by our own interests. We are and always have been willing to use any material capable of being manufactured into a marketable article at a cost not exceeding that of paper made from rags. In proof of this we refer to the fact that upwards of 100 patents have been taken out for discoveries or supposed dis coveries in connection with the application of various new fibres to paper making. Experience, however, has so far proved that, though there are many fibres capable of being made into paper, there are none equal to the cotton and linen rags now in use ; but the test by which every new material must be tried is its cost in comparison with that which we now use, which is sim ply a refuse product ; and as all foreign fibres coining to this country come charged with the cost of collection, trans port, shipping charges, and insurance, independent of the merchant's profit, these, when coupled with the cost of chemically reducing the fibres, present in their aggregate an insuperable obstacle to their introduction. It is said also that, to maintain the present differential duty of one penny per lb. upon foreign paper would be an infraction of the free-trade principle. To this we reply that to free-trade rightly defined, and as it is now applied to every other branch of manufacturing industry, we have not the least objection ; we seek to obtain only that which they possess—viz., free access to the world's market for material, and having this, we will, like them, meet the competition of the world; but to compel the English papermaker to compete with a foreign manufacture based upon a material 35 to 50 per cent. cheaper than his own, from which he is arbitrarily excluded by heavy export duties, is unjust in principle, and places him in an unfair position as compared with that of every other trading in terest in this country. And lastly, it is asserted that, by the rejection of the Bill for the Repeal of the Paper Duty by the House of Lords, we are brought within the terms of the treaty—although the article Paper has all along been classed by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer among those, " not under treaty." We have reason to believe that the treaty was made with out any reference to paper, and in entire ignorance of the export duties on rags; and this supposition is necessary to save Mr. Cobden from the charge of having planned the ruin of a whole branch of English industry for the benefit of foreigners. Therefore the act of the Lords cannot be pleaded in justification of the proposal of the Government. If paper was not in the treaty when the trete) , was made, it cannot be in now. It is quite true that the 7th article stipulates that mer chandise is to be admitted from France at duties not ex ceeding the excise duties levied in this country ; but the Bth article proceeds to enumerate the merchandise that is to be admitted, and paper is not named. But, supposing we are under the treaty, its provisions are amply sufficient to enable a Government so disposed to do justice to this or any other trade. The 7th article, after the general stipulations as to the terms upon which French merchandise is to be admitted, says : At the same time the duty chargeable upon the importation of such merchandise may be augmented by such a sum as shall be an equivalent for the expenses which the system of excise may entail upon the British producer." And again, the 21st article says :—" The high contract lag powers reserve to themselves the right to introduce by common consent into this treaty any modification which is not opposed to its spirit and principles, and the utility of which shall have been shown by experience." The " spirit and principles" of the treaty are to be found in the 7th article, where it was evidently the intention of its framers to place the competitive interests on a footing of equality, both as to taxation, and also as to the incidental expenses of that taxation to " the British producer." Therefore, to carry out the " spirit and principles" of the treaty, it is not only necessary to take account of the excise duty and the expenses of the System, but it is equally neces sary, and no less just, to reckon the export duties levied abroad on the raw material of the English papermaker, as a burden quite as direct, and little, if at all, inferior to the excise duty, in enhancing the cos t of his manufacture. We may here observe, that we find this question is gene rally discussed as if we should be affected by competition with France alone, whereas, in point of fact, whatever con cessions are made to France by the treaty are to be made at the same time to all the countries of Europe, in the absence of any special treaties whatever, and notwithstanding the duties they exact on the export of rags. The proposal of her Majesty's Government is entirely novel in its character, and unparalleled in the British legis lation, and, so far from its being a measure of free trade, its direct tendency is to sanction protection in its worst form abroad, and to establish a prepedent by which foreign Go vernments may be induced to levy export duties on their raw materials, in th e expec t at i on t h at t h e i r manufactured articles will continue to be admitted into this country free from duty. The paper makers therefore ask that, whether the excise duty be abolished or not, the present differential customs duty of one penny per lb. may be retained as a bare equi valent to the advantages which foreign nations possess by their protective system, as long as they continue to main tain restrictions upon the exportation of their paper making materials.

Re th reminded the Ministry of their dependence he a S gentlemen by whom he was surrounded"—that is, the " Corner," as they are called f rom their , place in the house. " For what purpose," he continued, " did the majority of the members I see around ine now consent to eject the late Government from office ? Was it that they believed the ridiculous and malignant fables of the Constitutional Association (of which Mr. Nicholson was chairman) ? Was it thought or hoped to replace them by men more able as administrators and Ministers ? If so, in that at least they were signally unsuccessful, for I ven ture to affirm—and I do so without fear of contra diction—that there is not a single office in the Go vernment, with the exception, perhaps, of that of the Attorney-General (Mr. Wood, a man most un exceptionable in every way), which is not at pre sent occupied by a gentleman who performs his duties here and elsewhere less efficiently than his predecessor. The -late Government were overthrown not with a hope that those gentlemen who succeeded them would perform their duties more efficiently but from the suspicion —and I believe a well-founded suspicion —that on the land question they were not to be trusted to do the bidding and wishes of the country." Again and a ga i n h e c h a ll enge d M r. Nicholson on the subject of a compromise. " I greatly mistake these hon. gentlemen (pointing to to those around him) after the evidence of compro mise now given, unless it be withdrawn in the most emphatic manner, if the confidence which had enabled the Government to endure be not at once , and for ever withdrawn." But it was not with drawn. The spe ec h o f M r . D u ffy call e d up M r. Nicholson. There is nothing in his speech worth extracting except the following sentence :—" The Government have made no compromise, and with regard to any comproMise we may intend to make —('Oh, oh !' from the Corner)—we are at liberty to take what course we please. We are as much entitled to the free exercise of our own votes as the gentlemen of the Corner. We intend, with those members or without them, to exercise that right." Then followed a long debate, which must have con vinced Mr. Nicholson that the support lent to him to carry the Land Bill was not intended as a per sonal support of himself and his colleagues. His majority on the third reading was in no sense a Ministerial majority, and he will lose it if he sup port any modifications in the clauses made in the Upper House. Even if he now " try back," and adhere to the bill, the whole bill, &c , it will be attributed to anything beta high and conscientious motive. lie must have discovered that he is not "master of the situation," After the 30th Mr. Nicholson and the bill were supported by large meetings out of doors; after the 7th there were meetings against him. In the meantime the Upper House shows no disposition to give way. They have since proceeded further to cut up the bill in committee, and it will probably go back to the Assembly with modifications, not, as the Go veraor hopes, restricted to such as the Assembly will accept. Even the servile flattery of a portion of the press can hardly blind Mr. Nicholson to the fact that the Ministerial crisis is not ended, and that the great difficulty is yet to come. We are likely to have a conflict between the two Houses, in which the question of this or that Ministry will be of little moment, except as to men capable of dealing with that difficulty. We were threatened with something of the kind when the Council threw out the bill to increase the number of members. It was averted by waiting for the elections for the six members of Council in August, 1858. They were in favour of Ministers, and a dead lock was averted. But such an event must be anticipated. The Assembly is essentially democratic. The Council has not alto gether fulfilled the expectations of the framers of the Constitution. It is not composed of the best educated men in the country. It is not an assembly of the wise. Though many of its members are wealthy, many are scarcely removed from needy. The antecedents of some few of the members are such as not to secure respect. It was intended to compose the aristocratic branch of the Constitution, and in this it is a failure. The Legislative Council of New South Wales is nominated by the Governor. I do not think this mode of constituting the Upper House is at all desirable, or calculated to secure re spect for the Second Chamber ; but it has this one advantage, that the remedy of new creations can be resorted to in case of a dead lock. This power, has been used in New South Wales to produce uni formity in the two houses. Here the same end might be attained by clothing the Governor with the power of dissolving the Upper House, which the present Constitution expressly forbids. Mr. Duffy intimated in his speech that it would become necessary at no distant day to make the Upper House dissoluble. To this internal constitutional difficulty we have rather a serious one with New South Wales. In. Sir Charles Hotham's time the successful naviga tion of the Murray by Capt. Cadell led to the taking of steps by the Government of New South Wales and Victoria for the colleetioli of Customs duties on the Murray. A bill for that purpose was laid be fore the old Legislative Council ; but, both Govern ments becoming sensible of the inconvenience to which this would lead, an agreement was entered into to abandon the measure. The establishment of the Snowy River goldfields has led the Sydney Government to depart suddenly from this agree ment. Snowy River is much nearer to Mel bourne than Sydney. We have good roads. New South - Wales hay scarcely any. Snowy . River consequently derives its chief sup plies from Melbourne. To check this the New South Wales Government have established custom houses on the Murray, and so secretly was this done, that on Monday, the 11th, a dray load of goods was seized in Albany before this Government had time to remonstrate. Indeed, no notice was sent to our Government before the customs' officers reached the Murray. There is no doubt that the Sydney Government has failed in due courtesy towards this Government. They ought to have given us ample notice. We should have been informed of the grounds in which they sought to depart from the agreement of 1855. There is a large block of terri tory on the north side of the Murray which ought to have been included in this colony, as a slight inspection of the map will show. The inhabitants of that district have more intercourse with Mel bourne than with Sydney, and they have met and protested against the policy of their own Govern ment. Another expedient to draw the trade of the Snowy River to Sydney is the promised abolition of the export duty on gold. Victoria preceded them in levying a similar duty, and we imposed it as a condition precedent to the admission of their sove reigns as a legal tender. The Argus denounces this as a breach of an agreement by virtue of which the Sydney sovereigns were made a legal tender. But there is one fact which the Argus either forgets or suppresses—namely, that our House of Assembly . has since passed some resolutions for the establish ment of a mint here, and the Executive is now en gaged in a correspondence with the Imperial Go vernment in order to carry these resolutions into effect. This will reduce our declaring the Sydney sovereigns a legal tender to a nullity. The first breach, therefore, is virtually ours. The end of it will be that we shall have to give up a revenue of more than a quarter of a million. This is another result of a succession of weak Ministries outbidding each other for popularity. In New South Walees no less than three Ministries have existed durixig the passing of the present estimates, and a meeting of the Opposition was lately held to decide when they should turn the Ministry out—whether this or the next session. I think there is some indication of an improve ment in the state of trade. The mail brings intel ligence of decreased shipmenti, to this country, an& the imports of the last two weeks are only £237,000., against £657,000 during the same period last yew., The result is that the excess of imports over tx ports is reduced to not much more than £1,500,000. Still the supply of gold is about 90,0000 z. less than last year, the quantities being in 1859 964,9770 z., and in 1860 875,5080 z. The deficiency of the last three months is 42,0000 z. The quantity shipped is 871,7250 z., against 1,003,2290 z. The fact of the existence of a paying and attractive goldfield out of our proper boundaries has stimulated the exer tions of the people of this colony. The Assembly has voted £30,000 for p r ospecting, and very s oon eight men out,exploritnhge there will be 100 parties of suspected parts of t he countr y —es pecially ranges to the eastward, 1. e., between the Snowy River and Gipps Laid. Between the S nowy Ri ver on the one hand and the attractiveness of New Zealand to farmers on the other in spite of the war, we are losing population. The N ew S ou th W a l es balance against us last month was 110 ; New Zea land, 103. Hitherto New Ze a l an d i s the only colony which has been a monthly gainer of people from us. The net emigration last month was 137. England received from us 617 snore than she gave us. I mentioned in March or April, 1858, that the. then Government had taken steps for the importa tion of some camels from India, as an experiment to aid the exploration of the interior, for which purpose a considerable sum of money has been col lected and an expedition organised, except that a competent leader has not yet been chosen. On Saturday, the 9th inst., a vessel arrived with 24 fine healthy camels, all of which have been landed without damage. It is expected that a leader of the exploring expedition will immediately be se _ lected, and the party will start during the present, winter. This movement originated in the offer of £l,OOO by a gentleman who conceals his na me; and the same patriotic individual has offered a reward of £l,OOO for the discov er y of a new goldfield in. the ranges called the Australian Alps. . - Ni ,?_NDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1860, THE SUN, LONDON, IMP.WOrnallowlm....

We have received advices and papers from Cal cutta to Tune 18 ; Madras, June 24. From Calcutta there is very little of public interest, and the prin ,.:nal points have been anticipated by telegraph. The Indigo Coniuission was still sitting, but its investi gations had not yet produced much result. The following is from the Calcutta Englishman : "On the whole, the " signs of the times" are better, a feeling which may be traced to the confidence induced by the prompt action of the Home Government in recalling Sir Charles Trevelyan, giving the strongest confirmation of the assurance of the Indian Government that they will carry out, intact and resolutely, their financial reforms, which, would have been all but impossible had Sir Charles been supported at home. Already the atitiotinCeal ent has had a most beneficial influence, and the classes who saw in the Madras Minutes a loophole of escape from their just share in the burdens of the State, resign themselves to their fate, which they would never have thought of contending against but for the weapon so unwisely thrust into their hands by that most mistaken course of the Madras Governor." The Burkaru says : " We regret to announce the loss of the barque Jeremiah Garnett, bound from this to the Mauritius with a cargo of grain. She was lost a day or two ago in the vicinity of the Sandheads. All hands saved. The following despatch had been published for general information:— " His Excellency the Hon. the Governor in Council, " Fort Saint George. " Sir,-1. In my despatch No. 23 of this date, I have communicated to you the reasons for which her Majesty's Government have been compelled to take the painful step of removing Sir C. Trevelyan from his appointment as Go vernor of Fort St. George. " 2. Her Majesty's Government desire at the same time to place upon record their high appreciation of the services which Sir Charles Trevelyan has rendered during his ad ministration. " 3. They have observed with great satisfaction the care ful attention which he has given to the numerous questions of importance which have been brought under the notice of your Government during that period. " 4. His observation upon the condition of the districts of your presidency which he has visited show that his con stant aim has been to raise the moral condition and to increase the material prosperity of the people. " 5. No servant of the Crown has more earnestly endea voured to carry out the great principles of Government which were promulgated to the princes and people of India in her Majesty's gracious proclamation. "6. For these valuable services the thanks of her Ma jesty's Government are due to Sir Charles Trevelyan.—l have, &c., "C. WOOD." " India.office, London, 10th May, 1860." CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL, CALCUTTA, JUNE 18. PRODUCE MARKET.—We have again passed a dull fortnight. There has been no animation in any branch of our export trade, and business continues to be done only in fulfilment of open orders from home. IMPORT MARKET.—During the last few days a better feeling prevailed in our market, with a steady demand, and in many instances higher prices have been obtained. JOINT STOCK SHARES.—The market for Joint Stock Shares has been active, owing to the cheapness of money, and the approaching period for declaration of half-yearly dividends. The Bengal Coal Company have declared a dividend of Rs. 100 per share, for the past half-year, pay able on the 3d inst., and the Assam Tea Company has de clared a 12 per cent. dividend, payable on the 24th inst. India General, Ganges and. Steam Tug shares are dull, but there is good inquiry for Bengal Bank, Bonded Ware house, Dock and Assam Tea shares. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.—The rates for these securities were fairly maintained at previous quotations, until large sales for local and Bombay account, about 15 lacs, brought down the Five-and-a- Half 1 percent., and they may now be quoted at 103-8 to 103-12, the Five per Cent. kept steady, at from 97-0 to 97-4, and the Four per Cent., at 81. The market is chiefly supported by the cheapness of money, as there are no purchasers for European account, and local operations could not alone support present rates. MONEY MARKET.—Money continues very abundant and cannot find employment at the low rates now ruling; the export trade is dull, and though there was some revival last week in the piece goods' market, the import trade is still without animation. EXCHANGE.—The downward tendency noticed in our last in exchange on London has continued, and Bank bills have sold from 2-01 down to 2-01, credits from 2-0 9-16 down to 2-oa, and documentary from 2-0/ to 2-oi. These low rates have induced remitters to take Bank of Bengal po Ist bills, instead of exchange, but as the amount of bills making is small both as regards credits and documents, and the demand good, there is little chance of better rates for the present, and they may go lower. On China the rate is nominally from 227 to 229, but only a small amount has been sold at these rates. The high price of opium has checked shipments. FREIGHTS.—There has been no change since last mail, though an extensive business has been done, and in conse quence of the paucity of arrivals the tonnage in port has been considerably reduced. Shall ships are wanted, and command high rates. London : IL Bailliere, 219, Regent-street.'

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the expenditure for miscellaneous services, and to report to the House whether any reduction can be effected in that branch of the public expenditure, and who were empowered to report observations, together with the minutes of evidence and proceed ings, to the House, have agreed to . the following report : Your Committee commenced the inquiry by considering . the mode of framing the es ti mates, t h e t i me o f t h e session when they are presented t o P arl i ament, and t h e votes in Class No. 1. They are of opinion that the Estimates for the Civil Service ought to be laid before Parlianient at the same period as the Army and Navy Estimates. That nearly all the votes now brought under No. VII., entitled, " Miscellaneous, Special, and Temporary Ob jects," ought t o b e placed in the different classes to which they respectively and properly belong. Should there be any special estimates which cannot be brought under the first six classes, such special estimates ought to be presented at the same time as the first six. That in case of any votes being required during the sit ting of Parliament for any unforeseen and urgent service, a supplementary estimate ought to be presented, accom panied by notes explanatory of the reasons why the said sums were not included in the original estimates and re ferring them to their respective classes ; and also that such of the expenses included in Civil Contingencies as are of a constantly recur r i ng nature should be provided for by esti mates in their appropriat e classes. That Parliament ought to be informed in the estimates of each year, of the unexpended balance of each vote of the past year which had been sanctioned by Parliament, and the balance remaining in the Exchequer to the credit of each vote up to the 31st of Dezember of the current finan cial year. That in the case of all new works under Class 1., the construction of which is to be extended over more than one year, the estimates in every case should be prepared in the same form as that for new works in the Navy Estimates. That the present system of audit is imperfect, inasmuch as only a portion of the expenditure is brought before the Board of Audit; but the subject having been very fully considered by the Committee on Public Moneys, your com mittee confine themselves to referring to their report, and expressing an opinion that some steps should be taken to introduce a more uniform and efficient system of audit. That the evils arising from the constant changes in the office of Chief Commissioner of Works having been pro minently brought before your committee, they are of opinion that the appoi n t ment of a permanent Commissioner would seem the only means of removing them. Your com mittee consider that, upon the appointment of a permanent Commissioner, the duties of the existing political office of First Commissioner in Parliament might be discharged by some other Minister of the Crown in the House of Com mons. That if a permanent Commissioner were appointed, all public works not already under the. Department of Public Works, except those for naval anirmilitary defence, ought to be placed under that department. Your committee have been unable to continue their in quiries in the matter committed to them further in the present session of Parliament ; they strongly recommend to the house the appointment of a committee in the next session of Parliament to resume the inquiry.

Advices from China are—Hong Kong, June 7 ; Shanghae, May 30. The following is from the summary of the China Mail:— Since the departure of last mail nothing of a political nature has taken place in regard to our relations with China, unless the success of the rebels near Shanghae may affect the progress of events. Most of the transports which had left for the North have had to put back to this port, on account of adverse winds, and it is uncertain when they may again take their departure, as the south-east monsoon has scarcely yet set in. It is not. likely that any general movement will take place until the arrival of the British and French Envoys Extraordinary, who are expected to arrive by the mail now due. Sir Hope Grant and Admiral Hope still remain at Hong Kong, but are expected to leave in a very few days. The rebels, who have been said to be put down on so many occasions, only to make their appearance in some other quarter, however, have lately met with considerable success. At Shanghae the panic amongst the native traders was very great, and trade has been seriously affected by the proceedings of the marauders. The native authorities at Hangchow and Soochow have burned the suburbs of those cities, so as to render them more easy of defence. Great misery prevailed amongst the people. The imperial Go vernment appears unable to protect its subjects ; and those who have anything to lose were chartering foreign vessels to convey their families and valuables southwards. The British and French ministers had issued the following noti fication, which had produced a good effect in Shanghae : " The undersigned issues this special proclamation to tranquillise the minds of the people. " Shanghae is a port open to foreign trade, and the native dealers residing therein have large transactions with the foreigners who resort to the place to carry on their business. Were it to become the scene of attack and of civil war, commerce would receive a severe blow, and the interests of those, whether foreign or native, who wish to pursue their peaceful avocations in quiet, would suffer great loss. " The undersigned will therefore call upon the com manders of her Majesty's naval and military authorities to take proper measures to prevent the inhabitants of Shang hae from being exposed to massacre and pillage, and to lend their assistance to put down any insurrectionary movements among the ill-disposed, and to protect the city against any attack. " Shanghae, May 26, 1860." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the China Mail.) HONG KONG, JUNE 7. An undsally dull and heavy market for all descriptions of European fabrics has been still further depressed in consequence of large supplies having arrived within the last few days. Business in Canton has been on a somewhat more extensive scale than we have had occasion to nctice for some weeks, but with one or two exceptions, at rates lower than those current at date of our last issue. TEA.—Wot cold weather has interfered very much with the hitherto good prospect of the first chops, which for above reasons will now be late and of an inferior quality, and not at all equal to that of 1859-60. A few Oonams have been shown, and a small parcel has been settled at tis. 30. Tay. shans are decidedly inferior in quality as compared with last season, yet command tls. 24f to 29. SlLK.—Part of the first crop has arrived at market, and the bulk has been secured fur native consumption at 400 dols. for No. 1 Loongkong. The stock is small, and consists prin cipally, if not entirely, of No. 2. FREIGHTS.—The Southern Cross is still on the berth for London, and is filling up slowly at D. SHANGHAI, MAY 30. TEA.—The tea season 1859-60 was quite over. A few settlements of Shanghai-made tea were reported, but the quality was such as to forbid any quotation. Repot is of the coming crop were by no means favourable. SILK.—The total settlements of the season amounted to 65,700 bales, against 81,000 for the corresponding period last year. The new silk was expected about the end of the present month. We forbear giving quotations, as the only operations reported were in silk of very inferior quality, and hardly to be classed. SHIPPING.—The only arriTal from England waB the AUSTRALIA. (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) MELBOURNE, JUNE 18. The April mail, due on the 4th, did not arrive until the evening of the 13th, the letters being de livered on the 14th. The cause of this, which you will have learnt already, was the breaking down of the Jeddo, near Point de Galle, which compelled her to proceed to Bombay under canvas. There her mails and passengers were transferred to the Ot tawa. To have limited the delay to only nine days shows commending diligence on the part of the agents at Bombay. The telegraphic intelligence by this mail reaches to the 26th of April. The homeward mail will be conveyed by the Malta, which will leave the bay at 11 this morning. We have had another " Ministerial crisis," which the Ministerial papers treat as at an end ; but I fear there are indications that it is only le com mencement de la fin. The Ministerial Land Bill, which Ministers submitted to being very materially altered in the Assembly—so much so indeed as to have become rather the Bill of the Assembly than that ofthe Ministry —went to the Legislative Coun cil, and was there read a second time without much opposition, though several members expressed their intention of proposing material changes in com mittee. When the bill came to be considered in committee Mr. Bennett, the head of one of our large solicitor firms, led the opposition, by moving the postponement of the first 12 clauses, in order to test at once one of the main principles of the bill. He was seconded by Mr. Harvey, a:wealthy sqatter. The 13th clause is that which provides that country lands—that is, all lands not described as special lands, i.e., lands in and around towns, watercourses, railways, &c., shall be sold without auction at the uniform price of 20s. per acre. In the debate which ensued the Opposition candidly declared that they intended to oppose, not merely this clause, but those which provided for the leasing of three acres for every one acre purchased (this is what Ministers call deferred payments) for exclusive commonages, for the survey of 4,000,000 acres, and for selection by lot in certain cases. Thus the Opposition went against all the principles of the Bill ; though, as to the survey clause, I do not think the question as to whether one, two, or four millions shall be sur veyed of much importance. The supporters of Ministers and of the bill generally also showed no great friendliness towards the measure, and nearly every one had his amendment to announce. Even Mr. Fellows, who represents Ministers in the Council, did not give it that ardent support which usually proceeds from conscientious approval. He seemed to regard it as the least hurtful measure which the vested interests of the country were likely to secure; and, concurring in this view, I cannot but think that the section of the Legislative Council in the matter is shortsighted and unwise. Indeed, they made a great mistake in rejecting Mr. Hames's bill in 1857—a bill which was much more favour able to the squatters :than any measure they are now likely to get. In the division which took place (on Tuesday, May 29), in a house of 27 mem bers, Ministers were left in a minority of 7, the numbers being for the clause as it stood 10, against it 17, the President (the House being in committee) voting with the majority. On the fallowing day Mr. Nicholson tendered his resignation and that of his colleagues, and advised the Governor to send for Mr. Bennett. This advice the Governor did not act upon, nor could it possibly have been produc tive of any satisfactory result. The Assembly had passed the third reading of its own bill by a majo rity of 35 to 11, and, although that majority was composed of many persons and even sections gene rally opposed to Ministers on other questions, yet neither Mr. Bennett nor any other person could hope to construct a Ministry either willing, or able if willing, to carry out the views of Mr. Bennett and his 16 supporters in the Council. After a week's deliberation the Governor requested Mr. Nicholson and his colleagues to take up the reins which they had so precipitately dropped, and he furnished Mr. Nicholson with• a letter, with permission to read it in the House. Of this letter the following is a copy : " Toorak, June 4. " Dear Sir,—When you tendered the resignation of the Ministry last Wednesday, on the ground of the alterations the Land Bill had undergone in committee of the Legisla tive Council, and recommended that the responsibility of forming a new Administration should be devolved upon the Hon. Mr. Bennett, as leader of the Opposition on the occa sion, I took time for inquiry and consideration before I either accepted the resignation or adopted the advice offered. "My reason for this course was, that I looked upon any request to Mr. Bennett to form an Administration as tanta mount to an abandonment of the bill in question, which the Legislative Assembly has spent so many months in discus sing and has passed by so very large a majority. Further• more, I saw clearly that, in the face of that majority it would be impossible for any Administration ho could form to carry on the business of the country. " I preferred, therefore, waiting the effect which the pro - spect of your retirement from office and the probability of a subsequent collision between the two houses might have on the members of the Legislative Council who had voted against the bill as it stood ; and I have employed the inter val in endeavouring to ascertain from those of the number with whom I could most unreservedly communicate what chance there was of their modifications being yet restricted so far as to admit of the measure being accepted on its re turn to the Assembly. " You will have seen that hopes to this effect were freely avowed during the debate which took place upon the Minis terial explanation by the Hon. Mr. Fellows on Thursday evening, while the most friendly feeling was at the same time expressed towards your Ministry by several of those who had voted with the Opposition. "'The result of my own communications convinces me of the existence of a favourable disposition in both these re spects. "Under these circumstances, I trust that on reviewing the whose position of affairs, and seeing the loss of time, the exasperation of feeling, and the serious injury in many ways to the community which must ensue from any attempt at a change of Ministry at the present juncture, you will consent once more to resume charge of the Land Bill, so as to afford an opportunity;'of learning what the views of the Legisla tive Council really are, by how many of its members they are shared, and in what shape the measure will be finally suffered to leave that house. " Even if that shape prove unacceptable to the majority of the Assembly one great advantage will have been gained in the long protracted struggle on the land question, by the information thus acquired ; and a definite issue will more over be presented to the constituencies of the Legislative Council, when called on, under the Constitution Act, three months hence, to return a new member for every province. " With a view to the interests of her Majesty's service alone, I have therefore to request that you and your col leagues will withdraw the resignation tendered, and con tinue in the discharge of the executive functions entrusted to you, which I am aware of no ground for revoking on ac count of anything that has occurred since you entered office. —I am, dear sir, yours. faithfully, (Signed) " HENRY BARICLY. " The Hon. William Nicholson, &c." In this letter you will observe his Excellency expresses his hopes, from certain communications which he had had with some of the majority, that their modifications would be restricted " so far as to admit of the measure being accepted " by the Assembly. His Excellency also reminds Mr. Nicholson that in three months the constituencies of the Council will be called upon " to return a new member for :every province.' To this view of "the situation" Sir. Nicholson elded, and on the 7th of June the ruturn of the Ministry was an nounced, but without one word of explanation beyond the reading of the Governor's letter. This did not satisfy any party in the House. Mr. Duffy led the expression of dissatisfaction—of " sincere pain and astonishment," in a speech of great ability. He pointed out how cordial and strenuous had been the support of the - House on this question—a sup port which Ministe rs owed to the question itself, and not to their p )pularity or merits. "Is there any member of this House," asked the hon. gentle man, " ignorant of the position which the Govern ment has occupied ? On no question, except the land question, have they had a working majority in this House. They havf been habitually defeated on all other questions. Over and over again they have met defeats which no Government that I have ever known could endu re ; on the land question alone hare they had a n lajority. And why ? Because they were supporte d by members on this side of the house, who were :friends not to the men, but the measure." He reminded Mr. Nicholson that he had gained his position " because men in the house and out of it relied on. the integrity of his character and the firmness of his principles, but the course he seemed prepared. to pursue (e. g. a compromise) would sorely imperil, and perhaps ruin that cha racter." He ex :pressed his belief that Mr. Nichol son " had been induced to take this step by some of his colleagues, i n whom we have no confidence, in some of whom, 'knowing well their antecedents, we never had confi. denee 4 and that it was a shortsighted ..,........• • the 1, 0- and noon :tame evi- r the T an- )ther %lici- ver -30 false ount d he 1, for ould LY, in 0 66s y for qr. ; o 50s, with 5$ to rley, 8 in ) 36. 465.
