Information has been received that the South Australian
Government will give every facility for the landing of the
cable of the British Australian Telegraph Company
at Port Darwin, and the Government undertake to intro-
duce a measure immediately after the new Parliament
meets for providing, by means of a loan, for the construc-
tion of a line of telegraph from Port Augusta to Port Dar-
win. To remove all cause of jealousy, as well as to provide
an alternative line, Queensland would be inN ited to con-
nect at some convenient point. The South Australian
Government will not only undertake the construction, but
the maintenance of the land line.

In a report issued by the Corporation of London, it is
stated that Chancery proceedings have been commenced
to compel completion of contract in reference to the
large quantity of land which the Metropolitan Railway
Company has agreed to purchase of the Corporation.

Bank had only paid £1 Bs. 9d. per share as dividend for

in connection with the submarine line to India, was opened
for traffic last night.

The allotment of the Peruvian loan took place yesterday,
and, was considered to have been fairly distributed. The
amounts were in no cases large, and every one who applied
seems to have been considered.

The annual meeting of the Dutch Rhenish Railway
Company will be held on the 29th inst., at Utrecht.
The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the
Colonial Bank is called for the 7th of July.
Berger, Spence, and Co's. weekly report says : -During
the early part of the week satisfactory business was done in
the chemical department, but within the last two or three
days it has reached a minimum point ; there has, however,
been no alteration in prices worthy of note, and they con-
tinue to be firmly maintained. In minerals there is little
to be said, the market having assumed an active and uni-
form aspect. In metals the improvement in the iron trade
continues, and the upward movement in Scotch and
Cleveland pig iron is fully maintained. The demand for
copper, lead, and spelter is very limited, and At prices
which appear quite unremunerative to the smelters. Tin
is still in fair inquiry.

A CHANCERY CASE SE I' FLED AT LAST.

The Master of the Rolls delivered judgment to-day in
the case of the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank (Re
Carnegie's claim). His lordship admitted the claim, but
hoped that the protracted litigation in this case would be
settled by his decision.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tms DAY.
The Speaker took the chair at five minutes to four
o'clock. •

NEW MEMBER.

Mr. Bailie Cochrane took the oath and the seat for the
Isle of Wight. He was introduced by Sir John Hay and
Sir James Elphinstone.
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

Mr. SiINCLAIR AYTOUN asked the Chairman of the-Public
Accounts Committee when the Committee would be
prepared to present their report.
Mr. HUNT said great progress had been made in the
extent of the appropriation accounts, and he anticipated
that the report on that part of the subject would be pre-
sented before the close of next month. There was, how-
ever, no hope that the report on the army and navy
accounts would be presented before the close of August.

from that side of the House. The object of the promoters
of the bill was to make a changa in the character of the
old universities of England, and to make them, instead of
Church of England institutions, great national
institutions. The withdrawal of the amendment
having been objected to, the committee divided on the
question that the words proposed to be omitted stand
part of the bill. The result was—Ayes 262, noes 101.
An amendment proposing to leave out -the words " sub-
sisting at the time of the passing of the Act," was after
some discussion withdrawn by Mr. Vernon Harcourt, the
mover. lie gave notice that on the report he should
move that no charter be granted to any college in-
corporated into a university until it had been laid. for a
certain time upon the table of the House.
Mr. FAWCETT moved the omission of proviso 1. He
remarked that unless his amendment was carried tne
bill would be inconsistent. About 160 fellowships in the
two universities would be left in exactly the same position
when the measure was passed as they were before if the
proviso were permitted to remain.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in opposing the amendment,
said that the bill as it stood was in substance a bill which
had again and again been submitted to both Houses of
Parliament, the result of the deliberations of the leading
men at Cambridge and Oxford, in whom the Government
placed entire confidence, who wished to have the bill sub-
stantially in the shape it was now in. He believed that
it would be accepted as a reasonable settlement of thediffi--
culty, and an honest attempt to put an end to a state of
things which every one who wished well to the universities
and colleges desired to put an end to. Mr. Gladstone
said that in the autumn he had had an interview with
what might justly be called a representative deputation
from the non-conforming bodies, and it was understood
that the bill should contain no provision for the abolition

of the college statutes which related to clerical fellow-
ships. Mr. Fawcett ,divided the committee, when his
amendment was rejected by a majority of 157 to 79.
Several other amendments were considered. Before nine
o'clock, the schedule and preamble of the bill were
agreed to.
