The following is the full text of General Lamar mora's report to King Victor Emmanuel upon the negotiations with Rome, of which a telegraphic summary has already appeared . . _ " Sire,—As soon as your Majesty had communicated to me the autograph letter addressed to your Majesty by his Holiness Pius IX., bearing date 6th March, my colleagues and myself immediately took the same into consideration. We were unanimously of opinion that the letter of the Holy Father should be followed up, both from respect for the chief of the Church, and with regard to the nature of the letter itself, which only concerned the rights of the execu tive power, and interests entirely'religiotis and 'spiritual, which, however, should be considered, out of respect to the belief and sentiments of the great Majority of the nation, and as connected with the efficacious action they exercise upon moral conditions and the concord and the tranquillity of the country. We were confirmed in this opinion by the consideration that important advantages might follow from an agreement with the Holy See upon the three points to which the Holy Father directed your Majesty's attention, viz. :—The return of the bishops absent from their sees, the filling up of the vacant dioceses, and the admission of the titular ecclesiastics already nominated in some pro vinces of the kingdom without the consent of the Govern ment. The first point has already claimed our attention for some time past, in consequence of the petitions of the populations favourable or adverse to the return of their pastors, and we could have no objection to a measure which would maintain intact the dignity of the Govern ment and satisfy the requirements of civil prudence. The second point gave us the opportunity of informing the Holy See upon the intentions of the G . overnment rela- tive to the diocesan circumscription of the kingdom, and of requesting that, until this should be definitively fixed, those episcopal sees should- be left vacant which their exiguity or other reasons rendered it advisable to sup press. The third point put us in the way to effect the reform of a certain state of things contrary to the pre rogative of the Crown and State, and which had given ris3 to observations and complaints. On the other hand, while confident that the Holy Father, in addressing himself to your Majesty, must have had in view condition's befitting a representative Government, especially those suitable to the kingdom of Italy and to your loyalty and firmness, we believed that the Holy See would be influenced by those wise traditions' which, on many occasions, induced it to separate the settlement of spiritual affairs from all political controversy—traditions solemnly sanctioned in the bull B olicitudo Eeclesiaruna of Pope Gregory XVI., bearing date August 7, 1831. Consequently we decided that the request of the Holy Father, that a layman should be sent to Rome to confer upon the three points above mentioned, and en deavour to come to some agreement upon the subject, could and ought to be complied with. Your Government did not hesitate therefore to consent to this mission being entrusted to the Honourable Deputy Commander Xaverid Vegezzi, with the Cavalier Advocate Giovanni Maurizio as col league. The instructions confided to them established be fore all that no political question was to be introduced at the conferences, which would also exclude any subject not connected with the three points above mentioned, and par ticularly any matter which might be within the compe tence of the legislative power. In the second place, the in structions declared that while, in the course of the confer ences on subsequent negotiations, it was not necessary to touch upon the recognition of your Majesty's Government on the part of the Holy See, in order that the conferences and negotiations should not lose their true character of an arrangement concerning interests entirely religious and spiritual ; yet it could not, and (m i ght not, to be allowed, either in the whole, or upon any special point, that these conferences and negotiations should imply the negation de lack) of the existence of the kingdom of Italy. If your Majesty's Government do not require a formal recognition on the part of the Holy See, they consider themselves bound not to lend themselves to any act susceptible of being interpreted as a renunciation of the exercise of the royal sovereignty and prerogatives in any portion whatever of the territory of the kingdom. Tie instruc tions relative to the three points wore that those bishops would be restored to their sees whose return would no longer be ti cause of the disturbance of public tranquillity, and who would undertake to observe the laws of the State and cause the same to be observed by thoir clergy ; that among the vacant sees those only would be filled up which it might be determined to maintain on the future diocesan circumscription of the kingdom ; that the presentation of the prelates would be made by your Majesty with the pre liminary agreement of the Holy See, and that this presen tation would be stated in the act of appointment and the bulls which would be submitted to the royal exequatur ; and finally, that some of the titular ecclesiastics already nominated would be admitted from grave motives of public order and political expediency ; others would be admitted not falling under these exceptions, provided the Holy See granted the translation to other sees of the prelates nomi nated to sees which it might be determined to suppress, and that their presentation-by your Majesty be stated in the bulls, which would also be submitted to the royal exequatur. After having thus maintained the principles which every civil government is strictly bound to preserve, your Majesty's Government did not hesitate to allow the negotiations to proceed, relying, on the one hand, upon the intelligence of their negotiators, and, on the other, that the country, in which tho first news of the negotiations produced a certain misapprehension, would dismiss all suspicion when it had coreisl i sksuul .ex aet_inforreation of the conditions which the Government had imposed, ,end which they felt bound to bring promptly to the knowledge of the country by the circular addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the prefects of the kingdom on the 2d of May last. The negotiations have passed through two distinct phases, indicated by the two journeys made by the negotiators to Rome in the months of April and Juno. Received by the Holy Father with par ticular demonstrations of goodwill especially addressed to your august person, they could only on the first visit state the intentions of your Majesty's Govern ment, and receive those of the Holy See, in the idea that, savingquestions of principle, some arrangments could , be effected, as in every negotiation, upon points of secon dary importance. In fact, finding the Holy See disposed not to request the return without distinction of all the absent bishops, they made it understood that your Ma jesty's Government would renounce their resolution of im posing particular conditions upon their return. And as the Holy see had not disavowed the expediency of a new cir cumspection of the dioceses of the kingdom, they did not feel bound to insist upon the precise number of the sees to be left vacant or filled up, since it was easy to see that on this point a middle course would have to be taken between the respective positions of the Government and the Holy See in taking account of the means put forward by both sides. Moreover, the Holy See not displaying any marked dislike to enter into the views of the Government relative to some of the bishops already nominated, the negotiators testified the desire of the Government to facilitate to the Holy See the means of securing the conditions of all the others in a suitable and honourable manner. But in order to acquaint the Government verbally with the intentions manifested by the Holy See, and especially to explain the difficulties raised in the Conferences respecting the exequa tur for the bulls nominating the bishops and relative to their oath, the negotiators requested and obtained permis sion to return to the seat of Government. The particulars furnished by Commander Vegezzi were received and weighed by us with the consideration demanded by the importance of the subject, and were the object of the same discussions, particularly with respect to the two points just above mentioned. On the first of these points your Ma jesty's Government could not relinquish so precious a guarantee of the civil power as that of the concession of the exequatur to Pontifical appointmenti, which forms part of our interior public law, which is expressed in Act 18 of the Constitution among the prerogatives reserved to the Crown, and which our State has held in common with almost all the other Catholic States. With respect to the second point, though it might be expedient to free the bishops from the obligations of the oath, in deference to the prin ciples of civil and religious liberty and separation of Church and State which your Majesty's Government are honoured in professing, yet as this obligation is imposed by special laws in the greater part of the kingdom, and a diversity of regulations could not be admitted in different provinces, it was determined to maintain this also, consi dering that to abrogate it would require a legislative act. On this subject it was also considered that in almost all the Catholic States the bishops are required to take the oath, and that if we relieved them from it in our kingdom it would not have been attributed to your Majesty's liberal sentiments, but to a Concession imposed by political mo tives. It was not believed that the Holy See would raise upon this point insurmountable difficulties if it were re solved to provide for the religious and spiritual interests of our kingdom, since those interests harmonise with the maintenance of civil concord ; and the bishops placed I among us to exercise, as everywhere, an apostolate of love and peace, would ill fulfil their mission with the necessary usefulness towards the clergy and the people if they were not in the same condition as the greater part of the Catho lic bishops, and deferring also to the best accepted tradi tions of the Church and her high teaching, enjoining obe dience unto all powers. The negotiators, therefore, with the confirmation of their p r i m i tive instructions, were directed to insist upon the oath of the bishops expressed in the for mula adopted in the kingdom, which is divested of all ser vile additions wounding the dignity of the episcopate that are met with in other formulas. They were to insist also upon the submission of the bulls to the royal exequatur, with the faculty of consenting, upon the latter point, to some modification of form, provided that the essential point remained intact, and also with the faculty of giving the form of a special convention to the arrangements concluded with the Holy See, and making partial arrange ments upon any other particular point of the negotiations, on condition that these agreements did not prejudice other points remaining in suspense. Furnished with these new instructions, the negotiators returned to Rome, but unhap pily they no longer observed that conciliatory disposition which encouraged them upon the first visit; and although they received a courteous reception, they could not fail to perceive that some hostile influence had traversed the favourable progress of the negotiations. It is not within the power of your Majesty's Government to seek to dis cover what counsels were able to prevail with the Holy See so far as to make it withdraw entirely from the arrange ments which it at first appeared disposed to sanction, neither does it belong to us to refute the arguments by which it may have been led to reject our proposals. Your Majesty's Government respects the independence of the Holy See, and does not consider that it is for them to enter with it into a discussion of principles, although the most ancient and respected traditions, and the conduct of the Holy See, oven at recent epochs, not differing from the present towards Governments placed under nearly the same conditions as that of Italy, might afford ground f or suc h a , course. But though having at heart the independence of the Holy See, we cannot less respect the independence of your Majesty's Government. Thus, if we may regret that the proposals made by us to satisfy religious and spiritual interests in the kingdom have not been accepted, we have no cause to complain if the cause be attributed to our efforts to secure the prerogatives of the civil power, and maintain, in fact, the national right which invests your Majesty's Government with their greatest force. We must add that we have not departed from our original intentions, and that we have introduced no substantial modification in the instructions given to the negotiators. From the beginning we have maintained the reservation relative to the exe quatur, and we were only compelled to explain our opi nion on this point by the objections raised by the Holy See, as we were obliged to make explicit declarations re lative to the oath of the bishops when we learnt that the other rules in the and the ncl Holy See made this point a grand questi on. M oreover, it will be seen that your Ma j e sty's Governm en t , consc i ous of their origin and fi theirx n duties negotia tionst he country, nnutrycould undertaken than those o th ; while e Hoy it See mayin g h be asked, What may be e P nlb s IX. unlessythaproposalit rnade sp ontaneously from the believed th at your Majesty's nGovernmen t iti hearta ul Parliament could be induced to deny th emselves and dis avow all the principles professed b y every independent Government ? The rejection of our proposals relative to the oath of the bishops and the exequ a t ur h as b een the cause points,f the only -p i n t rs was nan th Your Majesty' s Govern ment will not depart from their resoluti on to consent to the gradual return of those absent bish o p s w h o can b e re stored to their sees without danger of p u bli c di sturbance, ononstcaete ofd ta other hte negotiations upon the since this is only a measure of interior order which has already been previously determined upon by the Govern ment themselves. After this the negoti a t ors returned from Rome, and resigned their mission, havin g Worthily fulfilled a difficult duty, having maintained inviolate the cause and the dignity of the' State. By this short narration I think I have discharged the duty incumbent upon myself as well as my colleagues to inform your Majesty upon so grave a matter, and one which has given rise to so many dissentient and devious expectations. You Majesty will find faithfully reproduced all the details which are already known to you through the part you have takenin the deli berations of the Counsellors of the Crown. If your Ma jesty shares our regret that the negotiations with the Holy See have not bad the desired success, your Majesty will recognise with the whole country that on this Occasion the rights of the nation and of the Crown have been preserved while sincerely seeking to satisfy spiritual and religious interests, which should never have been, and never should be, confounded with other interests. The day perhaps may (RE UTER'S EXPRESS.) THORN, July 12. The Dziennik Warzawski publishes an imperial manifesto, dated June 12, by which the details of the law of March 15, 1859, regulating the conscrip tion in Poland, are partly altered and increased, and in part altogether remodelled. The same docu ment decrees that between the 6th November and the 7th December of the present year a regular military conscription shall take place throughout Poland, in which five men in every thousand shall be called out ; and in addition, in order partially to cover the deficiency of the conscription of 1863, conscripts at the rate of 1i in a thousand shall also further be called out. The present as well as all future conscriptions shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the law az amended by the present manifesto, and the former system of recruiting by forcible means shall be abolished. By these regu lations all persons liable to serve are ordered to present themselves at the office of the district re cruiting commission for personal examination. From the number of those fit for duty the contin gent of recruits will be selected by lots. Those selected will soon afterwards be put into uniform and enrolled in the ranks of the regiments to which they may have been appointed. Shaving the head and beard, to which formerly every recruit was obliged to submit, shall now only be inflicted as a punishment on those who have intentionally absented themselves from the personal examina tion, or hAve mutilated themselves in order to avoid military service. Three supplements are appended to the manifesto. The first of these contains regulations for those future conscrip tions which are by degrees to fill up the de ficiency in the contingent for 1863, as well as some instructions in reference to the purchase of 'substitutes. The latter privilege is granted to a number of those recruits who fill up the deficiency of 1863. The cost of a substitute is fixed at 400 silver roubles. The second supplement contains a list of those exempt from military service are-1. all Russian as well as Polish hereditary and personal noblemen ; 2. ecclesiastics of all denominations as well as all church attendants belonging to the ortho dox Greek faith ; 3. members of families whose re latives were denounced by the insurgents in conse quence of loyalty to the Russian Government ; 4. foreigners and their sons, as well as naturalised aliens in Poland and their sons born prior to their naturalisation ; 5. the Mormonites and the Mora vian brothers ; 6. Jews who, prior to the publica tion of this order for the conscription, shall have be come Christians. In addition to these exempted classes are the following :-1. Civil servants during the time they hold office, teachers of all denomina- tions, physicians, apothecaries, artists, rabbis ap pointed by the Government organists. 2. During the time of their education, students and scholars of the upper and middle class educational institutions. Exemption from military service is also granted by the law in cases of peculiar family affairs. The supplement contains directions to the heads of parishes in reference to the preparatiSn of certifi cates for those who are unfit for service on account of bodily infirmities. THE CHOLERA. IN THE EAST. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) ALEXANDRIA, July 8. The following are some details of the progress of the cholera in this town : On the 20th June the number of cases of cholera which had proved fatal in Alexandria was upwards of 60. From that date to the 24th the average num ber of deaths was 85 per diem, making a total of 857 since the outbreak of the epidemic. At this date a violent chamsin arose, which con tinued with great intensity until yesterday. The ap pearance of this oppressive and dangerous south wind is very rare at this advanced season of the year, hit at this particular time such an occurrence was a most unfortunate complication of matters, and was attended by a sudden extension of the epidemic. On the 25th the official list showed the mortality to be 183, on the 26th 193, on the 27th 208, on the 28th 214, on the 29th 209, on the 30th 197, on the 2d June 196, on the 3d 228, on the 4th 176, on the sth 118, on the 6th 132, on the 7th 142. It is be lieved that the mortality is much greater than stated by the abovementioned official reports, but, on the other hand, the surmises of an excited and panic stricken population are doubtless exaggerated and unreliable. According to popular estimates the offi cial numbers should be quadrupled. It cannot be doubted that such a rapid spread of the epidemic is, to a great extent, due to local causes, and principally to the state of the dwellings of the Arab fellahs, which are shared alike by man and beast—to the food of these natives which, espe cially at the present time, is insufficient and bad— to the putrid water the Arabs are compelled to drink during the low state of the Nile—to the excessive heat, the want of personal cleanliness among them, as well as among the poorer classes of Europeans— and lastly, to the stupid superstition of the Arabs with regard to the sickness on the one hand, and on the other their well known indifference in the pre sence of epidemic and death. As might be expected the greatest number of victims have been among the native population of Mahmu-die-Canal, Minet el-Bassal, and Tartusch. A few instances have oc curred in the European quarters of the town, but the upper class of E uro p eans h av e entirely escaped up to the present time. It is roughly estimated that between 18,000 and Alexandria. Every European residents have left Every kind of transport has been brought into use to aid their flight, and Syria, the Greek Islands, Italy and France, are the refuge of those emigrants. Nine steamers have taken about 700 passenger s to Trieste. The epidemic did not long confine itself to Alexan dria. It has not only attacked the villages of the Delta and the towns of Dhamanhur, Tanta, Man sura, and Zagazig, but at Cairo the choleraic symp toms have shown themselves in a manner which gives rise to the most serious apprehensions. The official reports from Cairo are even less reli able than those issued here. The epidemic came there with the chamsin. The population of Cairo is about 300,000. In Alexandria business is at a complete standstill, and almost all the Arabian bazaars, shops, and offices are closed. The proprietor of the Egyptian, published at Alexandria, has been compelled to stop the issue of his paper for a fortnight in consequence of his Maltese compositors and workmen being panic-stricken, and leaving the place on account of the cholera. TRIESTE, July 10. From telegrams received here from Constantinople dated July 9, we learn that on the 7th five fresh cases of cholera occurred, two of which proved fatal. The issue of free permits to ships outward bound was prolonged for 10 days. Telegraphic advices from Alexandria to the 18th state that the Lloyd's, steamer Juno, with 231 passengers, and the Italian His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge inspected two battalions of the Foot Guards this morning in Hyde Park. It is expected to be the last field day this season. The number of ships of war in Plymouth Sound was increased on Monday by the arrival from the eastward, in the afternoon, of the iron-cased cupola ship Royal Sovereign, 5, the construction of which will no doubt make her an object of great interest to the numerous visitors attracted there by the Ex hibition of the Royal Agricultural Society. Yester day morning the Austrian frigate Frederick, Capt. Whiplinger, arrived from the eastward. The Royal Sovereign, the Achilles, and the Prince Cousort are the three ships appointed by the Admiralty to meet the French ships Magenta, La Flandre, and Ariel. Besides these there are in the Sound the British frigate Constance and the sloop Gannet. The iron cased cupola ship Scorpion will probably join them from Hamoaze to-day. The Turkish frigate from Greenock is not yet arrived. Within the last few days a considerable number of yachts have entered the Sound, and are at anchor in the northern part. The Prince of Wales is expected here this afternoon. The United States' screw frigate Colorado, 50, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Goldsborough, arrived at Falmouth on Sunday evening from New York, and after obtaining a Channel pilot pro ceeded on her voyage to Antwerp. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—William J. Talbot, midshipman, to the Arethusa ; Gordon Jackson, surgedn, to the Vigilant ; and Henry S. Collins, paymaster, addi tional, to the St. George. The Reform League. Last night a public meeting was held at the Work ing -men's Club-room, Lower Rosoman-street, Clerkenwell, for the purpose of forming a local branch of this league—of which Edmond Beales, Esq., is the president--and the advocacy of the principles of manhood suffrage and the ballot. The meeting was very thinly attended, those pre sent being mostly young men engaged in reading papers. Mr. C. H. ELT was requested to take the chair, and stated the objects for which the meeting had been called. We were now in the midst of a general election, and at this moment one branch of the Legislature was in abeyance—the Commons, on whose advice the Sovereign stated in the preamble of every law she had resolved that such and such should be the law. The very term " Commons': implied that the House of Commons should be a house representing the Commons—the whole people of England. Was that so ? There were on the register of electors 1,330,000 names, while there were six millions of adult males who had a right to a voice in the making of the laws by which they were to be governed, and in the imposition of the taxes which they had to pay. If they struck off the odd 330,000, as they well might do, for double, treble, or quadruple votes, that would give them only one million voters out of the six millions who were entitled to the suffrage. He had himself voted already in no less than three places, and many others had no doubt votes for five or six different places. It was generally admitted that this was not right. Even Mr. Disraeli—a great coiner of phrases—said that we should have a lateral extension of the suf frage, which some people interpreted to mean getting rid of reform by a side wind. (Hear, hear.) For his part; he thought the suffrage should be extended not only laterally, but upwards and downwards, and that all artificial qualifications were as absurd in themselves as if they were to say that all men having brown hair or Roman noses should alone have the privilege of the vote. (Laughter.) The whole system should be recast, and based upon right, not upon privilege. (Hear, hear.) To secure such an extension was the object of the league, of which it was now proposed to form a branch in that locality. They wanted not to revolutionise the Constitution, but to restore the Constitution to what it was before it was corrupted ; and to do that there must be agitation. The branch, if formed, would have a distinct and specific work to do—to secure the vote as a right belonging to all, and to protect them in the exercise of that right by the ballot. (Cheers.) Mr. DAVIS moved, " That the partial reform re luctantly accorded to the people of this kingdom is now inadequate to their growing numbers andin telligence, and this meeting believes that a full and complete reform of the representative system is only just and necessary for the increasing exigencies of the- commonwealth." In supporting the resolution Mr. Davis contended that the Reform Bill had in reality restricted instead of extending the suffrage. It had substituted a uniform property qualification for the old pot-walloping and scot and lot voters who, w ith freemen and burgesses, constit u t e d th e bulk of the old borough constituencies. The £5O county franchise was a preposterous qualification, and for himself he preferred a universal suffrage to any other, upon the broad ground that in conse quence of the diffusion of kno*ledge by means of a cheap press, and the greater facilities for education, the great body of the working classes were better fitted for the exercise of the franchise than they were at the time the last , Reform Bill was passed. He contended besides, that the old theory of the Con stitution was that taxation and representation should go hand-in-hand, and as the great bulk of the taxation was paid by the working-classes, it fol lowed that they should have the suffrage. (Hear.) He did not believe that their admission within the pale of the Constitution would swamp the other classes of society. The selection of members would still be confined to the class who had means and leisure to discharge the duties of mem bers of Parliament ; the increase of the constituen cies would increase the expenses of an election ; and on the whole he thought that we might do an act of simple justice without any apprehension of a revolution following. With respect to the ballot, the system adopted in the colony of Victoria, Aus tralia, had shown in practice that all the objections to that mode of voting were thoroughly fallacious ; and he believed that under that system bribery, either direct or indirect, would in impossible in this country. The colony of Victoria had prospered under universal suffrage and the ballot, and he saw no reason why the same results should not follow at home. (Cheers.) Mr. WHITFORD seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. HOWELL moved and Mr. SURGISSON seconded the next resolution, which was—" That the Reform League embodies the spirit of the great mass of the people, and merits the support of this assembly ; and that a local committee of thirteen be chosen, with power to add to their number, from which shall be selected a president, treasurer, and secretary, The hurricane which took place on the 17th May was one of the most destructive gales that had ever visited Table Bay-18 vessels parted from their an chors and went ashore, viz., the bark Alacrity, Cap tain Gooch ; the mail steamer Athens, Capt. Smith; the bark City of Peterborough, Capt. Wright ; the clipper schooner Carstens, Capt. Deane ; the bark Brabner, Capt. Fred. Bassil ; the bark Glendinning, Copt. Fernande ; the schooner Gales, Capt. Figil ante ; the Danish schooner Closter; the brig Gala tea, Captain Kingston ; the cutter Gem, Captain Parrow ; schooner Isabel, Captain Nelson ; the brig Jane, Captain Picota ; the schooner Kehrwieder, Captain Haverburg ; the D utch brig Maria Johanna, Captain Driest ; the bark Royal Minstrel, Captain Andrew ; the bark Royal Arthur, Capt. M'Dougal; the bark Star of the West, Captain Ellbry ; cutter Benjamin Miller, Captain Hampel. - Fearful loss o f lif e accompanied these wrecks. The captain, surgeon, and 27 of the crew of the Athens ; the captain, wife, and child, and 14 of the crew of the City of Peterborough, and 12 boatmen belonging to the port, have all perished. The barks Royal Minstrel lud tar of the West had since been floated off without sustaining much damage. The brigs Galatea and Jane and some of the schooners had been hauled off thebeach and might berepaired. In Simon's Bay, also, the gale was very severely felt. The French steam corvette Primonguet was driven ashore, but subsequently got off with the as sistance of H.M.S. Valorous. The Fusilier, Black Ball, an Austrian trader, was lost on the Natal Bluff on May 26. She was laden with coolies for the West Indies, and had put in at Natal for the purpose of obtaining medical aid, having small-pox on board. Two hundred of the coolies were said to have been drowned ; the sur vivors were landed and placed in a lazaretto. Her official report states 302 coolies well, 77 sick, and 189 dead since leaving Calcutta, and 20 dead from. drowning. A large number of bodies that have washed up were alleged to be those of coolies that had died the day before the vessel wrecked. Along the frontier the gales had also done a great deal of damage inland. Large forest trees were up rooted by hundreds, and a great portion of the con vict station at the Katberg was blown down. Trade had been much affected by the wrecks, every shipping house being more or less interested. Otherwise a fair amount of business had been trans acted for the season. QUEENSLAND. We extract the following from a telegraphic sum-. mary of the Queensland Guardian of May 19 : Parliament was opened on the 2d inst. with great éclat. The volunteers turned out to form a guard of honour for his excellency,who was well received. Very little business has as yet come before the Assembly. A bill for the purpose of regulating the affairs of the Anglican Church has been introduced. It is a measure which, if passed, will have an im portant effect upon the position of the bishop of this dioeese. There is, however, small probability of its passing unless greatly modified. The Governor's opening address recommended the consideration of the advisability of taking steps for the establishment of a steam postal service through Torres Straits ; of establishing district courts, and reformatory schools ; and of amending the pastoral and agricultural laws of the colony. Revenue returns for the first quarter of the year have just been published, and show an increase of 40' per cent. over the corresponding quarter of last year. The statistics of the year 1864, compiled by the Registrar-Ge i neral, compared with those of 1860, show a-centesimal increase during the interval, in population 195 per cent., in revenue 139 per cent., in trade 178, and in shipping 189 per cent. It has been stated by two members of the Oppo sition that the " organised opposition" in the assem bly here is no longer in existence. The 25th instant is set down upon the notice papers as the date for the delivery of the treasurer's budget. It is looked for with great interest. The Government has announced its intention of removing the prohibitions on the importation of stock from the neighbouring colonies. This will have a very beneficial effect on our pastoral affairs. Surveys are being made for the extension of the railway in the North, and plans for the extension of the Warwick branch of the Southern and Western line have been laid before Parliament. A railway connecting Gladstone and Rockhampton is much talked of. On the 22d of last month the Minister for Lands and Wm.ls and 150 visitors had a trial trip upon the railway.line. An engine, with three carriages at tached, took the party along the line for seven miles at the rate of 16 miles per hour. The trial was in every respect satisfactory. The tunnel through the Little Liverpool Range is all but completed. It is said that there are now about 1,500 men engaged on the line between Ipswich and Toowoomba. Ten ders for the extension of the railway to Dalby will be opened on the 15 cm t i h unc J hth u n n aet e w . mso P onft a h r i t .m of the line will be ept that, at Gladstone, g o o p IT e d n h- e fie d re el f d o si r s, t not n o e rt , a g n uar ce f t r z o c m rus t h he . ing has commenced and promises well. The copper mines at Peak Downs are turning oub well, and about 70 men are employed upon them. Three furnaces are kept constantly at work. Very fine cedar has been discovered near Rock hampton. Cotton picking has commenced on the plantations near Ipswich. A good crop is expected. About 21,9051 b. of cleaned-ginned cotton have already been inspected, and a large quantity yet awaits in spection. Buiness during the past month has been rather dull. The money market is unaltered, and dis counts are at former quotations. Wages are still high, and labouring men can easily obtain employment at current rates, but mechanics, unless in the building trades, are quite sufficient to the present demand. Clerks and pro fessional men had better remain at home. The weather is dry and cool—too dry for agri cultural purposes.

YACHT LOST AND THREE MEN DROWNED.—A melancholy and fatal accident happened in the Firth of Forth on Thursday, which suddenly deprived three families of their support and heads. On the morning of the day named, about 9 o'clock, James Pottinger, a seaman, 70 years of age, and James Pottinger, his son, a carpenter, 40 years of ago, both belonging to Leith, and John Laing, a millwright, about 40 years of age, residing at Penicuik, but who had been on a visit to his friends in Leith, sailed from Leith in a small sloop-rigged yacht for Inchkeith, to see Alexander Stevenson, a brother-in law of Laing, a mason, then employed on the island. They reached Inchkeith about ten o'clock, and left it soon after noon. Stevenson, who was down at the bay when they left, saw them hoist sail and stand out for the north west, as they had to tack against a westerly wind on their way back to Leith.' In less than ten minutes after he had spoken to his friends, he turned round, on his way back to lighthouse, to see how she was sailing in the breeze—for a squall had suddenly sprung up—but she was not to be seen. He alarmed the lighthouse keeper, and they all ran down to a fishing boat in the bay, the crew of which at once put to sea to save the men if possible, for it was evi dent their small vessel had gone down. Though a care ful search was made, not a trace of the yacht or men could be found, except an oar, which was found floating near the spot where the yacht was last seen. On Friday an outlook was kept for the missing men and yacht, but up till evening no trace of them could be found. All the men were married, but Laing only has left a family—five chit. dren.—Scotsman.
