The House of Commons held a day sitting yester day. -Lord Palmerston made an explanation of his speech on , the Reform Bill, and which he felt to be necessary in consequence of the charge made against him by Lord Derby, of having acted unconstitution ally. A general conversation ensued, in which Sir G. Grey, Colonel French, Mr. Malins, Sir John Pakington, and others took part. Several votes were afterwards taken on account of the Civil Ser vice and the Navy estimates. Yesterday morning, estimates were issued of the sums required,to be voted on account, pending the .dissolution, forzthe army, the navy, and the revenue, ,and civil service departments. The total is £6,649,000. In addition, £2,000,000 of exchequer bonds, issued in May, 1854, have to be provided for. Acccounts from Madras state that certain of the ;leading Hindoos and Mahommedans :at that presi dency have arranged;the preliminaries ,of a monster anti-missionary meeting. In another column will be found full details of the news from Australia. The dates are from Sydney to Feb_ 11, and Melbourne Feb. 14. The Emeu, with the English mails of December, arrived punctuall y at sail Marchth, e ourne. e was appointed to M lb Sh with i the homeward maiL A new and promising i nil eibo mine had been opened about forty miles from ne. The number of five ships on the berth had divided the shipments of gold into comparatively sma , market for each vessel. agricultural The Melbourne labour had not improved. A large number of Ats and horticultural men were out of employ. Ey the Customs' . per cent. more t d h u a t n ies la fo st r y J e a a n r, u The arl t d h e e d r, e c ig on ht m eye n emita advices have been anticipated. The screw-steamer Royal Charter h as rr after an excellent passage from Melbourn e , h ere e The Bombay mail has arrived with advi ces to March 12th. The Bombay journals of that date report that the large bands of rebels have separated. The chiefs are in concealment, and hiding under assumed names. Mr. Evans, chief engineer, and Mr. Lunnell, district surveyor of the Allahabad Railway, had been murdered by a small pa r t y of rebels. A detachment of the 97th Regiment had gone in pursuit, The state of affairs in Oude remained unaltered. The frontier is watched, but the Government trusts that time, and the Shoorkas under Jung Bahadoor, will disperse the insurgents under the Begum and the Nana. The troops were everywhere going into summer quarters. Lord Clyde, whoso health is described as bad, left now Larch trd for 'Si:dila : one of the tendons of the shoukler was severed in his recent fall, and hence his lordship's slow recovery. The Continental news is meagre and indefinite. The Paris correspondent of the -Herald says, that the concentration of troops in the South is t aking place on an immense scale. It is probable that something like 25,000 men are on their way from different parts of the country to reinforce the army of Lyons. An analysis is published of Count Buol's reply to Russia's proposal of a Congress. He declares that , 'the whole difficulty is to be found in the policy of j Piedmont, and regards the Congress as the means of i putting an end to the dangerwith which she threatens Europe, and of preventing its occurrence. 'Should other questions be mooted, they ought to be stated beforehand. The clash of arms should not accom pany negociations. If Piedmont will disarm, Austria will do so likewise. Until the preliminaries are set tled, Austria may relax, but will not suspend her operations. Her troops will continue to march towards Italy. Advices from St. Petersburg, of Wednesday : According . to private advices re ce i ve d thi s d a y f rom Kiachta, ,( in the governmental district of Irkutsk, on the Chinese frontier), famine is prevailing in the southern part of China. The usual monthly meeting of the Town Council was held yesterday, at which there was a large attendance of members. The proceedings of the Finance Committee were confirmed. A report was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Council in reference to the conduct of certain parties in the Town Clerk's Establishment. This report was adopted, with the other proceedings of the committee. The greater portion of the day was taken up in dis cussing the proceedings of the markets' committee, during which some very fiery speeches were made , and, as was expected, Messrs. Gladstone, Woodruff, and .Jeffery took the prominent parts. We refer our readers to a full report of the proceedings, which appear in this day's issue of our paper. TFIE appeal that her. Majesty's Ministers have determined to make to the country, under the cir cumstances in which they have been placed by an adverse, and, as they themselves profess to regard it, a factious vote in the House of Commons, is one, the importance of which, in its issues, can scarcely be over-rated, whether as respects the interests of the kingdom generally, or that cause of reform more particularly which has involved them in their present difficulties. It may be quite true, as it has been declared in both Houses of Parliament, that the question of an amended Parliamentary representa tion is not now put before the country by those who make the appeal, though it is something arising immediately out of the consideration of it ; or, rather, perhaps, out of the refusal of its consideration, as it was presented to the House of Commons by a Con servative Government. "We do not appeal to the country," is Lord DERBY'S own declaration, " on the subject of Parliamentary Reform; still less do we appeal to the country as to the question of the particular provisions of the Bill. We appeal to the country on a much larger and, more comprehensive scale,—to know whether the present state of the House of Commons, split 'in hundreds of party divisions, each incapable of carrying on the business of the country, but each capable, in union with other divisions and sections, of obstructing the proper discharge of that business—to know whether that will receive the countenance and support of the people of England." This, we say, may be all true enough, as Ministers themselves think proper to put it. The fact Asserted is certainly indisputable, as far as it goes ; and it has been repeatedly Acknow ledged, both through word and deed, by various members of those " party divisions." Lord PAL -IVIERSTON was obviously adverse to the resignation of Ministers, from a consciousness that such " party divisions" would render it difficult at present, if not impossible, to replace them by a Cabinet sufficiently united, and qualified, to conduct the executive business of the country at such a conjuncture. Mr. HORSMAN, again, did not hesitate to say, that although the present. Ministry was not a strong one, any other Ministry that might take the place of it at this moment, would not be a stronger—if by any means so strong. " A resignation of Lord DERBY'S Government," he emphatically declared, " would be followed by the resignation of other Governments successively, and the country would be placed in a very dangerous position by a succession of swift and short-lived Governments. When the House met again the question would be not one of reform or of party, but of the permanent character of our representative system." We give these as samples of honest Liberal opinions ; and they go far, it must be confessed, to bear out Lord DERBY'S view of -the character and condition of the House of Commons, as having no one " party division," in the ranks of the Opposition, capable of carrying on the affairs of the Government. Still, admitting all this, it is impossible to keep out of sight, as it will be found to be equally impossible to keep out of power, the question of Parliamentary Reform, in the coming struggle, —a question which, in fact, will be brought to bear with greater popular influence upon the General Election, than all the other political questions of the day put together. It cannot, we say, be forgotten that it is upon the question of Reform that the Derby Administration have been defeated, and that their defeat upon that question has driven them to have recourse to a Dissolution of Parliament. Further, it may un happily be true, that, the chance there lately appeared to be of accomplishing a measure of Reform having been lost, a consummation so devoutly to be wished, is indefinitely deferred. As the Premier again observed, " the amendment moved by the noble lord the member for the City of London has had, at all events, this effect,—it has postponed for another year the settlenient of the question of Reform ; it has had the effect of creating serious inconvenience to the public interest by the interruption of legislative measures, by the cheek upon commercial speculations, by its possible consequence upon the continuance of the peace of Enrope : it has had all these effects, but not the effect of establishing, in the slightest degree any principle of Parliamentary Reform." Here, we repeat, is the misfortune. But that " principles of Parliamentary Reform " will exert a powerful in fluence in the General Electfon that is at hand,— that they will more or less, an t i in different w a y s ,, too, have their effect on almost eve. 7 constituency,--- appears to us to be as sure and cer tain, as does the prospect itself of the Dissolution of Pa‘"lianinnt• Our own course, at such a crisis of - C. le national weal, in its highest political interests, mus t be con sistent with the declaration we p u t f or th 1 :q these columns a few months since, on the occasion o. Four journal's entering upon another anniversary of .its • successful career. "We humbly sought," was our remark at that time, " to maintain and to carry out those two great principles which must ever govern the moral and intellectual world ; one of which is perpetual progress, the other the necessary regula tions and restraints of that progress,--firmly believing, with a great political philosopher, that the best ages of the world are those in which these principles are the most equally balanced;' and that • THE NORTIIERN TIMES THURSDA.I., APRIL '7, 1859 in such ages, every enlightened man ought to adopt both principles into his whole mind and conduct, and with one hand develope what he can, and with , the other restrain and uphold what he ought. " We have advocated an amendment of the Parliamentary representation upon these principles. And they are the principles, as here set forth, which we trust to see triumphant in the great political struggle into which the country is now to be thrown. Sure we rare, that if they but triumph on this occasion, in their integrity and truth, there need be no fear respecting the anxiety so naturally manifested by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the other evening, when he said,—" I will only, on the part of myself and my colleagues, express the sincere and even solemn hope, that whatever may be the consequence of this appeal upon our personal position, it will at least be conducive to the convenience of her Majesty, to the honour of Parliament, and to the best interests of the country.' THE MAIL SERVICE BETWEEN GALWAY AND AMERICA.— Mr. Horsfall's demand upon the Government for a satis factory explanation upon this subject, involves a matter in which not Liverpool only has a deep concern, but England at large. It is not, as some of the Irish members put it, a local questions—it is not d rivalry between Liverpool and Galway, by any means, that is at the bottom of, or has any. thing to do with it, in a public point of view.. Liverpool is far abo'Ve any such feeling as that. Her interests are of much too great a magnitude for anything of the kind to be induced. As Mr. Horsfall declared, "he had no hostility to the Galway line," and no one in Liverpool thinks it worth while to have any. But the people of Liver pool, and the country generally, ask for fair play. Now, as stated by Mr. Horsfall, " When it was first, announced that the Government were about to make an arrangement for postal communication with America by the Galway line, the Liverpool, New York, and Philadel phia Company wrote to the Treasury for the purpose of ascertaining if such were the case, to which the Treasury replied that it was under such circumstances the practice to invite tenders, thereby affording to all parties an oppor tunity of competing for the service." But this, it would seem has not been done. And, with our hon. member, therefore, we submit, that the parties to whom the com munication was addressed have now just grounds for com plaint. The excuse of the government is, that to grant a subsidy to the Galway line was strongly urged upon them as being of national, nay of imperial interest. "When it was proposed that, in addition to the subsidy received from the Government of Newfoundland, the company should re ceive a subsidy from the Imperial Government, and make the service more complete, and the vessels more powerful. The application was backed by an overwhelming number of memorials from chambers of commerce throughout the United Kingdom ; and there had been applications in favour of it from London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Belfast, Leeds, Dublin, &c., and the memorials were signed by the most influential persons." Such is the apology given in the House of Commons. And then the question is asked, " could the home government avail themselves of this idea, and get other persons to carry it out ?" Mr. Roebuck, it is true, is among the apologists of the government. "Looking at this," he said, "as an imperial question, he thanked the government for what they had done in this great mercantile adventure, and he regretted to see local considerations interfering with the true interests of Ireland." But then Mr. Roe buck is connected with the Galway Company ; and his feeling, therefore, is an interested one. ' Mr. Horsfall, however, has carried his point as to the production of all the correspondence on the subject. When it appears, there will be more light thrown upon it ; and - we then shall have something more to say about it, THE CUNARD STEAMERS AT CORK.—The Southern Re porter says, a deputation of the representatives of Cork county and city had an interview on Friday with Sir Samuel Cunard, and the results were most satisfactory. Lord Bandon stated the objects of the deputation, and clearly explained the facilities, advantages, and importance of the harbour of Cork. Sir Samuel Cunard, in his reply, showed that he had formed a thorough and practical appre ciation of the superior advantages of the harbour. Sir Samuel expressed his readiness to send his ships regularly to Cork, whether coming from Liverpool or returning from America, and this he has declared himself ready to bind himself to do for the entire period of his contract, and the only condition he demands is a slight increase in his subsidy. FRIGHTFUL STORM, AND Loss OF LIFE IN EDINBURGH; —On Friday last, Edinburgh was visited by one of the most frightful thunderstorms witnessed there for many years. For sometime scarcely a human being dared to venture out of doors, and of those overtaken by the storm in the streets, three women are said to have lost their lives. The hurling of cans from the tops of chimnies, and slates from roofs of houses rendered the scene altogether fearfully dangerous, and numbers of persons were seriously injured. Cabs were upset in several quarters, and omnibuses had to be brought to a stand-still under shelter-. THE COURT. The Queen held a court yesterday afternoon at Buck ingham Palace. The Right Hon. Sir John Young, Bart., was presented to tie Queen, upon his return from Corfu, by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Secretary of State for the Colonies. The Hon, Henry G. Elliot, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiaay to the King of Denmark, was pre sented to her Majesty, upon his return from abroad, by the Earl of Malmesbury, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. TYRER V. MTLELLAN.—In Mr. Jeffrey's evidence in this case there was a slight error, a sum of money was stated at £lO, whereas it ought to have been £7O. ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL CHARTER.—The screw-steamer Royal Charter, Captain Taylor, which sailed from Melbourne on the 27th January, arrived here last night, with 27,336 ounces of gold, valued at 199,344. She has made the run in 66 days. ST. ANNE'S DISPENSARY AND EYE AND EAR INSTITU- Twig, 13, Rose Hill.—New patients entered on the books last week, viz :—Relieved at the institution, 142 ; relieved at their own dwellings, 72 ; total, 214. Visitors—Messrs. E. Watts, and G. Jordan. Hon. secretary and treasurer, Joseph Kitchen, Esq. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS. On Tuesday, three officers and eighty men of the 12th Regiment, and one officer and twenty-one men of the 40th Regiment, embarked on board the Black Ball clipper, Donald M'Kay, which is to sail this day (Thursday) for Melbourne. The men came to Liverpool from Dublin and Newcastle. Mn. STUBS'S NEW Music.—We recently noticed the beautiful Polka, composed by Mr. Peter Stubbs, and, as a proof of its excellence, that gentleman received yesterday a note from the Countess of Derby, characterising the piece as " beautiful," and enclosing the author a handsome present. This is quite enough to say of the production. LIE WEATHER.—Yesterday was an extraordinary day, even for an April day. It was broiling hot from noon to dewy e'en. Few July days could have surpassed it in heat, and the people who came out with top coats went home without them. We like hot weather, but we think a few " April showers" might have come down with considerable judiciousness yesterday. Taa OVERSEER. Yesterday, the polling at St. Nicholas's Church concluded, The result was, that Mr. Scott was returned by a majority of 127 persons and 951 votes. The gross result of the polling for the three days i s • as follows :—For Mr. Scott, 904 persons, 2,183 votes; f o e Mr. Whitty, 774 person; 1,232 votes ; for Mr. Denton, 60 p,9rsons, 143 votes. Majority for Mr. Scott, 127 persons and 9,51 votes. M a. W. Tiroaus.---We hear that a benefit concert is about to got up for Mr. E. W. Thomas, who has lost so heavily i n cis repeated endeavours to eater for the people, in providing ~"heap concerts of first-class music. His losses have now been . made public enough, and can no longer be disputed. We ti ust thAt all lovers of music, awl those who advocate refined amusement for the people, will rally round him on this occasion. AN INQUEST was held yesterday, at Rack-ferry, by Mr. Churten, on view of the body of a child, that had been found in a grave yard in the locality. When found, dogs were , beginning to knew the body, and this caused quite a - , sensation in the neighbourhood. It would seem that the child was born alive, and that it was strangled, as there was a mark of ligature about its neck. The jury returned an ispen verdict in the case, leaving it hereafter for any evidence that might be brought forward to explain the case. DEATH ON BOARD THE AKBAR.—There was considerable excitement yesterday, at the other side of the water, in consequence of the death of a boy on board the Akbar. Of course, as is usual in such cases, all sorts of rumours pre vailed as regarded the death of the boy. It is our custom not to give credence to such rumours, and not more than to mention such, until proper investigation decides one way or other. In this case we merely allude to what has been discussed at the other side in a very free, and, no doubt, exaggerated manner. Mr. . Churton, one of the Cheshire coroners, has already opened an inquest on the body, and the enquiry has been adjourned to this day, and, therefore, until we can hear the full details, we refrain from further observation. F.arax or NATURE.—On Sunday morning last, a cow was delivered of a double calf, having two perfect heads, eight legs, and two tails, and otherwise a complete double calf. The cow is the property of Mr. James Smith, Penny Peck Farm, Crowley, near Arley. The calf had to be cut away from the cow, under the superintendence of Mr. Joseph Stringer, farmer, Crowley.— Warrington Guardian. Loss OF A LIVERPOOL 'VESSEL.— A telegraphic despatch has been received here from Plymouth, which reports that the Dover pilot boat Twin, arrived there yesterday morning with captain and crew of the barque Perthshire, Perriman, from • Liverpool to Alicant, which foundered at sea nine days after leaving Liverpool. The vessel sailed froin - hence on the 28th of March with a cargo of railway waggons. The crew were taken off by the Dutch barque Anna Catha rina. EMIGRATION ' , nom LIVERPOOL DURING THE LAST QUAR TER.—The total number of emigrants who sailed from Liverpool during the last quarter were 11,846, against 13,349 in the same period of 1858. This summary includes both cabin and steerage passengers. Of these, 7,195 sailed for North America, and 3,107 to Australia. The emigration trade has gradually increased' since, particularly to the United States (the emigrants being principally Irish), and during . the summer months an, unusual active emigra tion is anticipated. LIVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.—Return for the week ending April 2nd, 1859. Admitted : in-patients, 26 ; out patients, 4 ; surgical casualties, 5. Discharged: cured, 17 ; relievd, and at own request, 5 ; made out-patients 2 ; irregular, 0 ; dead, 5 ; remain in the house, 178. For the ensuing week. Visitors : Messrs. J. G. Livingston; J. P.

Rector Campbell, A.M. ; Vice-President of North Dispensary : Captain Bourne ; Vice-President of South Dispensary : Mr. Charles Booth ; Treasurer : M. Francis Mill ; Secretary : Mr. J. Whitby Williams. Office : Leith Offices, Moorfields. THE MURDER IN WurrecirA.peL.-- 7 Yesterday, the coro ner's inquest in this case, on the body of Marshall, who was killed by the Spanish sailor, in Whitechapel, on Saturday night, concluded at the Coroner's-court. The evidence in the case was the same as published in our paper of Monday, so that it need not be repeated here. The jury (a very respectable one) found a verdict of wilful murder against the Spaniard, and made a presentment to the effect that they were of opinion that the ends of justice would have been more properly attained had the prisoner been present at the proceedings. ODD-FELLOWS' HALL, ST. ANNE-STREET. —This is one of the new, central, and popular halls added to those already in Liverpool, and without disparagement to any other, it may be said, it is second to none in every respect. We are glad to find that it is about to be opened for a short season (say a fortnight), by Mr. F. MacCabe, who has already attained a degree of popularity quite unheard of in his line. Independent of Mr. MacCabe's merits, the hall is fitted up in a style that challenges imitation ; and, with the com bined attractions to be found there on Saturday evening, we anticipate a full and fashionable attendance. EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY, 126, top of Mount Pleasant.:---Weekly Report.—Eye Department : New patients admitted in the week ending April 2nd, 79 ; patients prescribed for, and who have received surical assistance, 373. Ear Department : New patients' admitted in the •week ending April 2nd, 34 ; patients prescribed for, and who have received sur gical assistance, 128. . Consulting Surgeon : Hugh Neill, Esq. Surgeons : John Poole, Esq., Dr. R. Hibbert Taylor,. and Dr. Nevins. Assistant-Surgeon : Thomas Bickerton, Esq. Treasurer : J. G. Livingston, Esq. LIVERPOOL ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL SO CIETY.—This body met last night, at the Royal Institution. New member : Mr. Richard Busby, proposed by Mr. Mullin, and seconded by Mr. Stubbs, as a student member, and admitted. The paper for the evening was on " The Use and Progress of the Architecture, Arts, Manufactures, and Costumes of the Middle 'Age in England "—Part Ist : The I Saxon Period, by -Mr. G. A. Audsley, an interesting paper on the point. The following donations were re ceived : " Building News," for the past fortnight, from the editor ; " Dublin Builder," No. 3 ; " A Lithograph of a Design for the Grammar-school of Aberdeen," by Messrs. J. W. and J. Hay ; from the authors. The meeting then . adjourned. GREAT ANCESTRAL DESCENT.—Not long ago, three travellers, an Englishman, of man's fair proportions ; an Irishman, of gigantic growth ; and a Scottish Highlander, of stunted stature, who acted as the party's cicerone, were on a visit to the famed island of Iona; and whilst wander ing over the splendid ruins of Christianity's , cradle, in ancient Caledonia, where, in the fourth century of the Christian era, A savage race, By Columb's voice, was won to grace" they paused among the tombs of kings, chiefs, and nobles, " from every Christian clime," with which the island is studded ; they, at length, found themselves at the head of the ridge of tombs, containing the mortal remains of the great chiefs (Macdonalds) of the Isles ; and here the little Caledonian, whose own name was Macdonald, seemed to swell into more than his ordinary dimensions, as he thus addressed his companions :—" Here," stretching forth his tiny cane in the direction of the tombs, " Here rest the remains of my forefathers ! The mighty, the illustrious, and great lords of the Isles, from whom I am directly descended ! " The son of Erin, casting a downward side glance on his little loquacious friend; responded : " Descended ! my dear fellow, were you after saying ? Bedad I believe you. You give us demonstrative proofs of the fact, any how ; and a d—l of a descent you have had of it too !" LIIMITRE IN HOPE HALL.—Yesterday evening the Rev. Dr. Murray Mitchell, Free Church Missionary, from Bombay, delivered a lecture in Hope-hall. on Indian Missions viewed in connection with recent events." The Rev. Dr. McNeile occupied the chair, and introduced the lecturer in a brief address. The Rev. Lecturer came forward, and proceeded to deliver a very eloquent, instructive, and amusing lecture. During the course of the address, the lecturer remarked that, never since Christianity and Pagan ism existed, did the latter appear so much opposed to the former as at the present day. In the second place there was something to learn as to the condition in which Britain holds her Indian Empire. They all knew that it was one of the largest nations in the world, and, if not the richest, it was capable of being made so. It had been a wonder from the time of the ancient Greeks. It might be wondered that such a small island as England should sway the affairs of such a vast empire ; but it was at the ,present time so much under her control, that her power and right to wield it was more stable than ever it had been The position of the country was one of grovelling superstition and grossest credulity, so much so as to render the govern ment of India a very host of difficulties. The people of England were apt to look upon these difficulties as trifling, but it was not so, and the people at home could never properly understand it. What would they think of the fact that the Hindoo looks upon Europeans as the greatest cannibals possible, because they murder and devour the sacred cow. A few years ago Lord Ellenborough stated, that out of all the so-called converts, he did not believe that there were eight sincere Christians. The recent mutiny had tried the strength of the nations faith in Christianity, and it had not been found wanting. Now was the time, after a victory, to pour in a flood of Gospel light into India, and show the inhabitants that their crimes in 1857 had been so great, that even the Ganges could not wash out their stains. At the conclusion of the lecture, a collection was made on behalf of the mission. COUNTY ANTRIM ASSIZES.-THE SECRET SOCIETIES. BELFAST, Wednesday, 12 noon.—Baron Fitzgerald re sumed business this morning at half-past nine o'clock. The Crown proceeded with their case, and examined Messrs. Beattie, Gorman, and Kenny, wardens in the Gaol ; Mr. Shiller, deputy-governor, Mr. Forlies, governor, and several other officials connected with the gaol. ' 3.30. F.M.---Mr. Fergusson has just concluded his address for the prisoners. Mr. Hammill next rose on the samo side. Mr. Robinson, Q.C., will reply for the crown. AUSTRALIA. We have received, in anticipation of the overland mail, our files of papers from Melbourne to the 14th, Sydney the 11th, and Adelaide the 15th of February, and which are a fortnight later than those previously. to hand. The Melbourne Herald, in its summary for Europe says :—" The screw steam ship Salsette having been announced to be despatched with the English mails on Tuesday morning, we give a brief summary of colonial news for transmission to Europe : PourreAL.—Since our previous summary was sent to Europe not quite a fortnight has elapsed ; but within that brief period there have arisen some political events worthy of special record. Of these the chief is the promulgation of their intended land policy by the present cabinet. On Tuesday last, the chief secretary laid the brief outlines of his scheme before the Assembly. No discussion has yet been taken on it in the house ; but, as may be supposed, it has formed almost the sole topic of comment in the press, and conversation in places of public resort. We are n•w within a day or two of the close of the last session of our first constitutional parliament. On Friday next, at latest, the House will rise for the dissolution. Tne Assembly has passed the last item of the estimates for the current year ; and the Appropriation Bill • will be introduced to-morrow, and passed, as a matter of course, without opposition. Many minor measures of considerable local importance have been passed through their last stages -including one for temporarily settling the long-pending disputes arising out of gold-mining on private property—one to modify the taxation levied on the Chinese within the territory —one to promote union amongst the various bodies of Presbyterians in the colony— and one to make more equitable the levying of the assessment on the squatters. A motion to introduce the system of paying mem bers of the Assembly with the inauguration of the next parlia ment, was rejected a few nights ago by a large majority. The upper house is now revising the bill to amend the Registration Act. The last effort of pure partyism has just been made in the Assem bly. On the day following the declaration of the ministerial land policy, Mr. Peter Snodgrass gave notice of a motion of a want of con fidence in the ministry, on the double grounds of their land and their general policy, but the final, futile, and factious attempt to throw out the ministry, and plunge the country into utter confu sion, resulted only in a premature explosion. GOLD.-Our miners have begun the year well, a greater yield of gold having been produced by their exertions in January than was obtained during the corresponding period of 1858. The quantities brought down by escort were respectively 168,609 oz., and 157,603 ozs. The advantage over last year has been maintained up to the present time, the escort returns for the two weeks of the current month, and for the first fortnight of February, 1858, being 250,716 ozs., and 227,350 ozs. The shipments have also increased; for, while we find that for the six weeks, ending the 11th instant, the gold exported amounted to 289,273 ozs. ' the aggregate quantity shipped during the parallel period of 1858, was 230,273 ozs. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.—Since the publication of our monetary and- commercial summary for transmission by the Oneida, few circumstances worthy of being recorded have occurred to intercept the course of mercantile or financial affairs. -The arrival of the mail-steamer Emeu, with advices from London to December 17th, placed us in possession of extremely unsatisfactory advices regarding the proceedings of exporters to the• Australian colonies, and caused a general feeling of depression. Instead of learning that the shipments to Melbourne and Geelong in all November had fallen off, we gained the unwelcome information that, in face of the most urgent expostulations addressed to firms engaged in the colonial trade-, there was a heavy increase as com pared with the declared value of the missions sent forward in all October. It would be impossible to deprecate too emphatically the course adopted at home, and persisted in despite the losses which must be sustained by reckless speculators. Although capital is freely offering for the purposes of investment, there have been few transactions completed in the money market, owing to the scarcity of first-class securities. The rates still vary from Bto 12i per cent. In the Stock and Share market the busi ness has not been extensive, but prices have been maintained. NEW SOUTH WALES. SYDNEY, February 11. POLITICAL SUMIARY.—Since our last summary the principal questions which have occupied the Legislative Council have been • the Bigamy Bill, which the mover, Mr. Johnson, withdrew for six months. The steam postal question, has lengthly occupied the attention of both houses. The result appears to be, that both houses are dissatisfied with the arrangements which have been made, binding at home, in respect to the route per Suez, without any reference to the line viii Panama. Of 'course there has been some reference to the offer of the colony in regard to the Panama route, but great suspicions prevail that if the contracts as to the Suez route are, as we understand them, that this colony is involved in an arrangement of expenditure which is far beyond any benefit received, and which will probably prove injurious if not fatal to the establishment of a line of postal communication which could alone be beneficial to us. Resolutions, without repudiat ing the previous offers of the Government, or any engage ments made under the sanction of Parliament, but strongly conservative of the right of the house to enforce its opinion in favour of the two lines have passed both houses. The main political topic, however, which has engaged atten tion has been; supply. Day by day' the estimates, which were to have been brought down to the house in such a way that they could not be disputed, but were to be passed in the lump, have been discussed; and, though comparatively few reductions have been made, they have been made by the former warmest friends of the Government, and it is quite plain that all confidence in their economical ability or honesty is gone. It is beyond doubt that, extenuated as the debates on the estimates have been, were it not for the departure of some of the leading men of the opposition patty, the Cowper Government could not be continued for one fortnight. With regard to the Church State Aid Question, it is settled for the present, and we believe satisfactorily to the country. It will form a feature in the hustings speeches which are impend ing upon us. It is right such a question should go to the country. There have been great squabbles as to the appointment of Crown law officers, and the general opinion is that the Attorney and Solicitor-General should cease to hold seats in the Cabinet. It is yet a matter of doubt whether the ministry will successfully get through committee of supply ; if so, the house will be immediately dissolved. COMMERCIAL.—The share market has been very active, and a large amount of business has been transacted in the shares of several of the companies at improved prices. Money is pretty plentiful for investment, and as the half-yearly reports of the Commercial Bank, Newcastle Coal and Copper Company, Australasian Steam Naviga tion Company have been very satisfactory, it has caused some demand for these shares. The fluctuations are as followl—Bank of New South Wales are firm at £46, but holders are asking £47 per share ; Commercial Bank have advanced 30s to 40s per share ; Australian Joint Stock Bank have improved 5s per share ; - Union Bank have been sold at £52 per share, which is an 'advance of £1 per share; Australasian Steam Navigation Company have been in request, and have been sold at £l4 lOs per share, ex dividend, which is an advance of £1 per share; Sydney Insurance Company are 2 per cent higher. Government Debentures are firm, and are worth nearly one per cent more than last month. Intermina.bles have also improved, and are quoted at 98. The quantity of gold dust received by escort from the several gold-fields, and from Fairfield and Port Curtis during the past month, amounted to 19,908 ounces. For the same month of 1858 the amaunt was 14,701 ounces. The increase in the month is, therefore, 5,207 ounces, or 35 per cent. The amount of gold coin issued by the Sydney Branch of the Royal Mint from the Ist of January to the 4th of February, has been 105,000 sovereigns. The quantity of gold-dust imported into the same establishment during the month for the purposes of coinage has been 28,519 ounces. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. ADELAIDE, February 15. POLlTlCAL.—Parliament being in recess, we have little to state under this head. Steps have been taken to bring the new financial scheme of last session into operation by the appointment of Major Freeling as Valuator of Runs under the Act for the assessment of stock. REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE. —From a recent Government Gazette we obtain a statement of the revenue and expenditure of the Colonial Government for the quarter and the year ending December 31st, 1858. The quarter's revenue amounted to £119.004, being an increase upon the corresponding quarter of 1857 of £10,590 ; and the year's revenue to £151,831, being an increase upon the previous year of £305. The expenditure for the quarter amounted to £110,502, being a decrease upon that of the corres ponding quarter of the previous year of £14,757, and for the year to £472,618, being a decrease upon the previous year of £7,616. IMMIGRATION AND EMIGRATION.—The Customs returns for the quarter ended December 31st last, furnish us with a rather, novel feature, viz., a considerable excess of departures for New south Wales over arrivals from that colony. The emigration exceeds the immigration in the proportion of 3 to 1. THE BOMBAY MAIL. The Bombay Standard of the 11th ultimo remarks that the rebellion, as represented by Tantia Topee, Feroze Shah, and their adherents in various parts of India, is now at the lowest ebb. "We no longer hear of large bodies of insurgents marching through the' disaffected districts. The pursuit to which these men have been subjected, the hardships they have endured, appear to have completely disheartened them. The large bands have separated. The chiefs are in concealment, and, like the lowest criminals, are hiding their identity under assumed names." Since Tantia Topee arrived at Korowlee, where he is said to have assumed the name of Ram Singh ; nothing certain has been heard of him. In Oude it seems 'the policy of government is now merely to watch the frontier, and to trust to time and the Ghoorkas of Jung Bahadoor to disperse the insurgents under the Begum, the Nana, and Beni Mando. Lord Clyde, whose health is still bad, left Lucknow on the Ist of March, for Simla. He was to go to Mahavleshwur on the 18th. We learn from liidore, under date the Bth ult., that her Majesty's 86th arrived on that day. The rebels are scat tered in five or six separate parties, some wanting to surrender, and all disheartened. They are now making towards Seronj, and if they can only be brought or driven to collect together, they will speedily be dealt with We have a letter from camp Seronj of the 3rd instant, saying that Colonel Rich's column left Goonah on the Ist, and arrived at Seronj on the 2nd. The rebels were within twenty miles, and immediate efforts were about to be made to surround them. By a notification issued by the local government, the duty upon Malwa opium will be increased from 400 to 500 rupees per chest from the Ist of July next. "The financial embarrassment of the govern raent," says the Bombay Times, "is most severe, if not altogether unprecedented, and it is rumoured that a sus pension of cash payments may be looked for, unless relief is obtained very speedily." There had been no improvement in the import market during the fortnight; freights had advanced, and the money market showed slight symptoms of improvement, though the Bank of Bombay had not reduced its rates of discount. COMMERCIAL. BOMBAY, March 12.—Cotton; twist has had a decided downward tendency. A slight revival has taken place in the demand for cotton piece goods. In grey shirtings a moderate business done. Grey long, cloths scarce and in demand. Grey madapollons in moderate enquiry. Metals generally lower. Prices of cotton wool advancing. Lin seed lower. Other seeds neglected by English houses in consequence of unreasonable prices. Freights to English ports slightly improved, and a further advance expected. Indian securities expected to improve, Five per Cent. quoted at 873. Four per Cent. 76, Signs of an easier money market observable. THE _........_,--- LATEST TELEGRAMS. RUSSIA. ST.
