POSTPONEMENT OF MOTIONS.

The Earl of DERBY said he wished to cell the sttentica
of the noble lord who had just attend the house (Lord
Oarepbeli) to a matter which really appeared to him iOOOOl.
Mon some isoonveniesos to the home. The noble lord had
Bret polies on throe saccomire licodays that be would
Wing forward au important question Mating to the condi-
tion of Polsod. tk three sucomnive Fridays, however,
sad when it was impossible to place any other
notice on the paper, his noble Mewl announced
his intootioa of postponing his metioo. Now conai-
dories there were only two days in the whole week in
which soden of mortices took precedeaos of orders
of the day, it was obvious that each a practise was mesh o-
laMd is cession great inosevenisam to other acids lords.
(Hear. hoar.) He understood that the noble lord had just
=Blfro a third time his motion with respect to
until next Moodily weak. He did not seam this
on his own account, inasmuch as he did not lased to
take aoy part in the sapwood dismission. He must repeat
that this practice of putling Dothan upca their lordships'
paper and than poniards. them at the last morneuti was
noe only at unusual medic* but also a matter of peat in.
convesuanoc to the hoses. He bogged to se the sable hod
whether after the last postponement it was his intantion to
adhere to this_ datoho had now named.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF BONDEREtORG.

In answer to • question upon the above subject from the
Ent of SHAPITILIWIT,
Earl RUSSELL said—My lords, in answer to the question
el my noble friend, 1 may say that I saw in the newspapers
the account of which he ha. spoken, and that I sent •
telegram to our minister at Berlin, with • view to =cer-
tain what had been dons in this matter, but I cannot find
that Sir Andrew Bachman can give me any intelligence at
present on the subject. It is quite possible that io •
few days we shall have • statemeat of the actual fedi of the
ewe, and Ido sot think I shall be warranted in giving any
opinion until we have all the real fade before us.
THE AFFAIRS OF DENMARK AND GERMANY.
Earl GREY said he wished to take that opportunity of
=kin the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs
• question, of which he had given him private
notice, and it was whether the noble awl
intended on Monday next, when the question of Denmark
and Germany would come coder consideration, to make the
same objection to the discussion coming on as he did on the
day preceding the holidays ; and if be did so intend,
whether his objection would apply to the transactions
which preceded the occupation of Sieswig by the Prussian
sad Austrian MOW, or only to the transactions which had
meetly taken place.
Emil RUSSELL—In answer to my noble friend I beg
to state that when it wee proposed to brio] this discussion
en before Easter 1 took upon myself the responsibility of
=king that it should cot take place at that time ; sod there
were two reasons for my doing that—first, that I was ready
to present papers by command of her Majesty, sad which
=stained • further discussion of these affairs, and
secondly, that negotiations were going on with a view to
• conference. I cannot say now that there are further
pspers to be produced, or that negotiations are going on
now upon the subject of the conference, because all the
powers which signed the treaty of 1832 have accepted • con-
ference, and the only question that remains is with regard
to the Diet of Frankfort, which body received an in.
viten= to send a representative to the conference, but
there has not been time to lay the communication
before the Diet. I shall, therefore, not be warranted in
taking on myself the responsibility of making that the dis-
cussion ahall be agida postpooed, but whether there should
las a protracted discussion on these affairs is a matter for
the discretion of your lordships. With regard to the last
question of my noble friend as to separating the correspood-
wice, I do not think it will be possi le to enter at large into
these transactions without referring to all the corm-
spoodence.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

KA RIC-LANIL -(THII3 DAY.)

Although the simply of Eaglish wheat on sale here to-
day was very moderate, and, although millers generally
continue to hold light stocks, the demand for all kinds was
in a most inactive state, at prices about equal to Monday.
A total clearance of the stands was nut, however, effected.
The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive.
Selected qualities found buyers, at about previous cur-
rencies ; but all other kinds were very dull, at barely sta-
tionary prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were vary dull, but not cheaper,
if we except Indian corn, which, for forward shipment from
the Black Sea ports, was rather is favour of burs.
Malting barley was held at full quotations ; but the de-
mand for it was by no means active. Grinding and distil-
ling aorta were a dull inquiry, at late rates.
Malt was in full average supply and sluggish request at
Monday's currency. The " make during the season ap-
pears to have tom immense.
Good sound oat+ commanded the late improvement in
value. Heated samples ware lees active.
Beans sold to a fair extent, at full prices.
The sale for peas was inactive ; nevertheless, the quota-
tions were well supported.
Both English and foreign flour was in fair request, on
former terms.
Clover and linseed, an well en rapeseed, were tolerably
firm in price. The demand, however, was much restricted.
Cakes supported former terms.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQVIER mid, with
regard to the observations of the hon. gentleman who had
Let spoken, by passing the resolution is committee they
did not come to • final judgment, aid it might be consi-
dered afterwards whether it woe desirable to Male those
weds. The debate bad presented lees of a ecamnational
character, sad had bees rather wider is its range Mae was
comma on these mossions. He bad no reason to complain
of the whole or my portion of the dtrominos, which he
thought had been very satisfactory. Hs should object
to tho reduction of the duty on fire insuranoss by fld. is
his opinion if the house were notable to effect a reduction of
room then ad. it bad better let the duty stand.
A right hoc madame opposite said that the votes of the
house on the subject of fire Mammae would not he satisfied
by the proposal which be (the Chancellor of the Exchequer)
bad made. But be contended that those votes would be
far better satisfied by dealing effectively with one particular
branch of the subject than by making a general reduction
so small sa to have no material operation in the way
of =trading imurame, aed thas in so degree to replace the
loss of revenue. Whether there was any force in his (the
right hon. gentleman's) distinction between the tax upon
property and the tax upon trade sod industry, was a matter
forth, committee booneader; but he trusted that they would
sot eoesent to any leeffeceive reduction such as bad been
suggested. He now begged to move that the chairman
report prover. (Cheers.)
The motion wee agreed to.

General Pin and Colonel Inciusoy appealed to the
government not to proceed with the estimates at that late

mittee till to-morrow.

ply point in which it was proposed to alter the law
was with regard to ransom of merchant reseals in time of

Sir J. RAY thought it would be desirable that these

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE SLESWIG INVASION.

According to explanations given by some German
journals, the bombardment of Sonderborg was not
a mere useless act of rigour, but a strategical
measure. The besiegers are said to have relied on
the flames and smoke to occupy the attention of a
part of the Danish garrison and to mask their
movements. The town is abandoned. Prince
Charles was exposed to groat danger on the Slat
ult. A shell fell close to him and buried itself
deeply in the ground. Fortunately it did not
burst. The soldiers afterwards dug up the pro-
jectile and presented it to the prince as a remem-
brance of the siege of Duppel. This practice of
presenting balls and shells seem to be the fashion
among the Prussians, one having been sent some
days before to the Princess Royal.
The Danes have, it is said, 17,000 men at Duppel;
10,000 at Fredericia ; and 1,000 cavalry in Jutland,
making together 28,000. There are also 800
Swedish volunteers serving in the Danish ranks.
The Danish Ministelr of War, on his return to
Copenhagen, declared himself highly satisfied with
the condition of Duppel. The troops have exe-
cuted a second line of defences behind the bastions
Nos. 1 and 2, which were the moat exposed to the
fire of the batteries of Broaker. The men are now
sufficiently sheltered from the projectiles, and are
acquiring daily more assurance. The minister is
therefore full of confidence in the solidity of the
troops and in the strength of DappeL

A BEDOUIN INVASION.

The following is an extract from a private letter
dated Gerba (coast of Tunis), Nov. 1 :

There has been much disturbance here, the Arabs
(Bedouins) having made as irruption and destroyed the
Jews'qoarter, carrying off everything portable, even to the
doors and windows of holism, and leaving the unfortunate
Israelites destitute, between 500 and 600 being at present
quartered on the British consular agent. The rest, to the
'number of 3,000 or so, are scattered among other charitable
persons' houses. The Maltese escaped the ravages of their
enemies by plunging bravely into the water to any depth,
whither their wive/varies would not follow them.

The blockade runner Lady Stirling, which was
captured by three blockaders off Wilmington on the night
ol the 28th ult.. had 900 balm of cotton on board. The
camel and sago are veined et 800,000 dole.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

A new exploration party has been despatched
front Adelaide, under the command of Major
Warburton, who, iu accordance with resolutions
passed in both houses of parliament, has received
instructions to examine the country beyond Mount
Margaret, and then to take steps for connecting
the interior of "No Man's Land" with the coast
near the Great Bight. It is expected that the party
will be out about four mouths. The expedition
consists of the major, five men, and 24 horses, and
has been provisioned for four months. There is
also, however, another expedition spoken of, and
one which is to be fitted out for a more extensive
exploration. It is proposed to send out a party
under the leadership of Mr. A. Ball, with the view
of exploring the country between Mount Margaret
and the western shores of the continent. Such an
expedition as this, if successsul, would complete
the great work of exploration which South Aus-
tralia has been engaged in for more than 20 years
past. It would open the only large portion of the
interior which at present remains unknown, and
would solve the geographical problem as to the
existence of high mountains iu or near to Central
Australia. It is proposed that this expedition
shall be fitted out by private subscription.
The government have expressed their willingness
to join the government of Victoria in subsidising
a fortnightly mail, on condition that the ocean
postal steamers shall call at Kangaroo Island.
The select committee of the House of Assembly
on new parliament buildings have recommended
that designs should be invited, and premiums of
5001., 3001., and 200/. offered. The probable cost
will be 50,0001.

TASMANIA.

We have files from Tasmania to the 21st Sept.
On that day the governor was to prorogue parlia-
ment. The Hobart Town 3loenry says :—" A letter
has been received in town from a person, whose
authority should be reliable, to the effect that a
shepherd had arrived in New Norfolk from the
River Styx, with a sample of two ounces of gold,
which he states he discovered in the locality in
question. The report had caused intense excite-
ment amongst the residents of New Norfolk, by
whom it is confidently believed that a payable gold
field has at length been discovered in their neigh-
bourhood, and considerable numbers of persons
were providing themselves with picks, shovels, 4:c.,
with a view to starting for the scene of the alleged
discovery."
Good accounts are given of the pair of salmon de-
posited in the Derwent breeding ponds. They are
progressing favourably, but there will be no change
to report in connexion with them until the advent
of that mysterious instinct which prompts them
seawards.

THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.

We have papers from Dunedin to the 17th, and
Invercargill to the 14th Sept.

By proclamation in the New Zea!and Gazette,
under date August 22, the native title to the Wei-
totara block of land, in the province of Wellington,
which is estimated to contain about 40,000 acres,
is declared extinguished.
A discovery of coal has been made in the northern
portion of the Auckland province.
All continues quiet in the Waikato, the powerful
tribes of this district, the principal promoters of the
struggle, having apparently abandoned their country
to the military settlers, who are being located as
speedilyas possible. Several companies of the 2nd Re-
giment of Waikato militia are receiving their allot-
ments at Kihi Kihi, in the fertile settlement of the
rebel chief Rewi, now the main upholder of the war.
So undisputed is our possession of the Waikato, that
the chain of redoubts by which communication with
the front has been maintained is being done away

NEW SOUTH WALES.

Private letters received at Sydney on the 23rd
Sept. from missionaries at the Loyalty Islands re-
port extraordinary proceedings by the French at
Lifou. The French soldiers had prevented the
natives attending divine service, and put in irons
some of the natives and missionaries who refused
to obey the prohibition. The unfortunate islanders
are, it is said, treated with the greatest cruelty,
and many of their leading men have been carried
away captives to New Caledonia. It is supposed
the Roman catholic priests have instigated these
proceedings, of which a full report will be sent
to the home government by the outgoing mail
steamer.

The principal topic of interest with regent to
political matters was the approaching session of
parliament, which wa., to commence on the 18th
of October.

Matters were dull at all the gold-fields, with the
exception of the Wentworth. There the yield con-
tinued to be exceedingly rich, though no regularly
continuous lead of gold had yet been hit upon, the
metal being found in leaders or feeders that are
supposed to be tributaries to the main stream.
Burrangong had been again agitated by a Chinese
disturbance, reaching upon one occasion to a riot.
A large number of the residents—shopkeepers and
persons in business—were agitating for the removal
of all restriction on the working of the Chinese, and
several pro-Chinese meetings had been held. The
miners, however, as a body still retain great an-
tipathy to poor Mongolian John.
"Business," says a commercial report, " has been quiet
during the month, but as this is generally considered the
dull season there are not many complaint'. In the present
state of our markets there is very little inducement to
'peculates to operate, hence the few alterations we have
to report. Our trade with the gold fields has during the
past year considerably fallen off, but, on the other hand, a
good business has been done with the neighbouring colonies
of Queensland and Victoria. It was expected that the
news by the Madras of decreased shipments would have
caused a move in the prices of those articles which show a
decline, but such has not yet been the case. The principal
transactions both at auction sod privately, have been in
flour, sugars, and teas—but in other articles of daily con.
sumption the sales have only been made to meet present
requirementa."

commencement of the proceedings his lordship took occa-
sion to make reference to his position. and expressed him-
self satisfied that if, at any time during the period he

of the court, any difficulty should arise he should always
receive the kind assistance end advice of his brethren on the
matter. Meer, kw./

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT TUNIS.

EIGHT NAVAL OFFICERS, THREE SEAMEN, AND
A MARINE OF H.M.S. ORLANDO, DROWNED.

On the 3rd inst., at Tunis, a cutter of H.M.S.
Orlando was upset in a squall, and eight officers, three sea-
men, and a marine were lost ; one man only, the common,
was wired.

It appears that on the morning of the 3rd inst., a cutter,
having on board Lieutenant Still, Surgeon C. B. Wood,
Captain Pritchard, KM., Midshipmen De Game,
Fielding, and Ramble, Master's-Assistant Hada', and
Aseistant•Paymaster Stratford, together with four
seamen and one marine, left the ship, on a
pic-nic party, and while returning at 3 o'clock in the after-
noon, under sail, a sudden squall struck the boat when
about a thousand yards from the shore, and upset it. See-
ing that all hope of assistance was impossible, one of the
seamen struck out for the shore, and was the only man
saved. He was found the next morning completely ex-
hausted and in a state of nudity, in au Arab hut, by another
cutter of the Orlando. which, in tow of the French frigate In.
vincible's steam launch, had been sent in search of the miming
boat. Up to the last account+, nothing else had been found
but a jacket belonging to Mr. Fielding, and a portion of the
mast of the beat, notwithstanding the Orlando sod gun-
boat Tyrian had been searching under steam for the missing
bodies.

The sudden calamity created universal sympathy in Tunis.
All the foreign representatives displayed their flap half.
mast, and waited upon the English consubgeneral to
express their condolence. Mr. Fielding, one of the unfor.
Senate young officers who perished, was one of the few
survivors of the lamentable wreck of her Majesty's ship
Orpheus on the mast of New Zeeland.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 15.

The gunnery experiments were resumed to-day
with the firing from the Whitworth 70-pounder of eight
oommon shell, containing a Sibs. bunting charge. Thew
were all tired to hit direct and burst ; the other trials were
rin...htt firing, sad the result wee ea follow' :—Of seven
fired from the Whitworth, three hit direct and bunt, three
buret ou grazing, and one bit en ricochet and burst. Of
thirteen fired from the Armstrong shunt one Lit direct and
burst, ten hit en ricorAtt and burst, and two burst prema-
turely. Of fifteen tired from the Armstrong wedge,
oat hit direct and burst, one burst on grazing. twelve
hit en rie,clut and burst, and one passed over the ship
en ricochet. Oa examining the target ship alter
the firing it was found that although, from external ap-
pearances, the bursting of the shell had done comparatively
little damage, yet there had been immense destruction
between deck; which were oovend with splinter., and even
the cross-beams in some cases had been completely ahat•
tered. The trial of the percussion fusee is now concluded,
and the trials for penetration below the water-line will
begin on Friday. The visit of the Lords Conimmeioaen of
the Admiralty to witness the trial of the 150-pounder 12-ton
gun is deferred until Thursday.
