THE DAY'S NEWS.

We published in a later edition yesterday, ad-
vices from Australia to the 13th and 17th Oct.
from Sydney and Melbourne respectively. Three
Englishmen had been shot in the Island of New
Caledonia by order of the French Government—
but the reason why such execution has been pas-
sed upon them had not reached the Governor of
Australia, who was making strict enquiries. It
has been recommended by the Legislature of-
Sydney to annex to New South Wales the Feejee
Islands, as indeed from its proximity to New
Holland should have been done with respect to
New Caledonia. We consider that it was a great
oversight to allow the occupation of this important
Island by any other power than ourselves. Tas-
mania and Victoria have been now successfully
united by a submerged electric telegraph. Rifle
corps were in the various settlements in the
colony in the course of active formation. We
are glad by the same mails also to find that the
demand for labour was steadily on the increase
with the advancement of the season.

The Governor-General. of India has made, we
learn by advices from Bombay by the last Over-
land Mail, a most imposing elitrance into Luck-
now, and decorated with orders all the princes
and. noblesse. It appears, from the general re-
port of this official visit, that the aristocracy are
en masse restored to their estates. The result
consequent upon such merciful procedure is that
perfect tranquillity is likely henceforth to reign in
that part of her Majesty's Indian Empire. Central
India does not appear to participate in this restora-
tion to good order, as a campaign is about to be
undertaken from Neemuch against a body of
5,000 rebels. Feroze Shah and a body of rebels
still occupy Bundelcund, against whom another
expedition is already in active operation.
By recent despatches from the United States,
we have good reason to entertain a hope that the
difference concerning the right to the Island of
San Juan is likely to be amicably settled. It
appears by these despatches that General Scott
has been instructed, on the part of the Washing-
ton Government, to disavow the acts of General
Harney in taking possession of the island, and
also that the question of right between America
and ourselves is to remain suspended until a
proper decision between the mutual governments
has been arrived at. At any such an under-
standing will prevent 'any unpleasant conse-
quences for the present between the two
countries.

It appears from a telegram from St. Peters-
burgh, which we published in a late edition yes-
terday afternoon, that Prince Gortschakoff will
be the first, and Count Kisseleff the second
Russian Plenipotentiary to the approaching Con-
gress. From Vienna we learn that Count Rech-
berg will attend the opening of the Congress,
but will subsequently be relieved by another
Plenipotentiary. It is further reported that
Austria and France will not agree to the admis-
sion to the Congress of any delegate or represen-
tative of the States of Central Italy, on the
ground that the present Governments of these
States are not recognised by the European
Powers.
It would appear, from information which has
come to hand from Paris, that notwithstanding
these grave and repeated
,assurances of a peaceful
policy on the part of France, warlike prepara-
tions are still most vigorously carried out.
Perhaps the four Liverpool jokers will re-open
their negotiations with the Emperor, and insist
upon an explanation of what appears to be a
breach of the understanding come to between the
parties. We observe that the request of the
Emperor of Austria to the Emperor Louis
Napoleon to forbid any comments being made
upon the present disturbed state of Hungary by
the French press, has been most readily and
courteously attended to, as various newspapers
have received " warnings " on the subject.
It is gratifying, on account of the long-con-
tinued depression to which the British. Shipping
Interest has been subject, to see that there is a
probability of a greater demand for tonnage, chiefly
yield.
