to rouse the men from a comparative lethargy. Maco rut
himself into a position of attack, and then he followed his
opponent completely round the ring, and pursuitz him, as
it were, to his corner, ho struck out his left but Goss dex-
terously jumped on one side, treating the attempt of his
antagonist with derision. Mace continual to follow his
man closely into the corner, then struck cut w ith force,
striking Goss on the left shoulder. Of this the latter took
but little notice, but retiring to his own corzer, and cau-
tiously eyeing his opponent, awaited his opportunity of
sending forth his left directly from the shoulder, and hitting
Mace on the right cheek and nose, drew first blood, follow-
ing it up with a second blow (but short) on the chin. This
was succeeded by more sparring, Mace cautiously follow-
ing his opponent round the ring. They had now been up
three quarters of an hour; and not being able to get at each
other, retired and rinsed their mouths with water. They
again resumed the fight ; and again, after much sparring,
stood still, laughing and chaffing each other, exhibiting
the greatest good humour. Now arose the deafening jeers
and ccunter jeers of the spectators, who were evidently
becoming disgusted. This appeared to urge the men on to
the contest, and Goss at once struck out, hitting Maco
lightly on the chest. One hour had now passed, and again
the belligerents found themselves standing apart laugh-
ing at each other. Resuming their respective positions
Mace pursued his man round the ring ; but Goss with
extraordinary dexterity kept his adversary at bay. This
lasted for some time, wken there suddenly arose the bois-
terous indignation of their partisans, upon which Mace, with
a savage expression, called out, " Why don't you come on?'
This gave rise to one unanimous hissing, intermingled with
shouts of "Pull up the ring," " Take them out, they are
frightened," and cries of "A draw, a draw," &c. This
latter advice was at once approved of by the backers of
Mace, who instantly extended his hand to his opponent,
and being accepted, a " draw" was proclaimed, and affairs
consequently remained in Mau quo.
_ _

Up to this time there had been no interference with°
Part of the police. But just as the belligerents left the
ring, Mace declared that he could not fight because he had
sprained his ankle, and Goss, on the other hand, avow-
ing that he would not have given in first for £l,OOO, a
couple of policemen appeared on the field, but were kept
at bay by the mob, why, clustered round the ring. They
finding their efforts to get within the ropes fruitless, wont

NEW MEMBERS

Lord 0. FITZGERALD took the oath and his seat on his

COLONY OF VICTORIA.
In reply to Lord R. MONTAGU,
Mr. CARDWELL said he would be happy to lay the
papers on the table so far as they go. There had appeared
in the newspapers an intimation that the difficulty had
met with solution, but the Government had not yet received
information to that extent.
GOVERNMENT BALANCE SHEETS. Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary of State for War whe-
ther he was aware that the " balance sheet" submitted by
the Royal Gun Factory to a committee of the late Parlia-
ment "on Ordnance" had since been found to be erroneous;
and if he would lay upon the table of tho house a cor-
rected balance sheet of that date, to bo appended to the
report of that committee?
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said he had given an
answer some evenings ago to' a similar question. It was
quite true that an alteration had been made in the manner
of drawing up of the balance sheets, but he could not go tho
length of saying that the balance-sheets already presented
were erroneous. He did not therefore think it expedient
to make out fresh balance-sheets in place of those referred
to by the hon. and gallant member, therefore he had hone
to lay on the table man.
COLONIAL BISHOPRICS BILL.
Mr. WALPOLE said the Colonial Bishoprics Bill was at
prestnt fixed to come on on Thursday next, but he thought
that was too early for the discussion to be taken ; he there-
fore had to ask the right hon. gentleman that he would
arrange to postpone the matter, and that on that day, in
place of moving the second reading, he would state the
day on which he intended to do so.
Mr. CARD WELL said he would not bring forward the
measure on Thursday next, and he would endeavour to
comply with the desire of the right hon. gentleman:

THE PROPOSED CONGRESS.
Mr. DISRAELI . asked wheth her •
er Majesty's Govern-
ment had any communication to make to the house with
respect to the proposed Conference t P •
a aris and whether
it was true that her Majesty's Government
the invitation to take part therein. had acceded to
There was also
statement in an evening newspaper which had hitherto
been looked upon as a semi-official organ, to effect the
great difficulty, viz., territorial compensation to the
Powers of Austria, Prussia, and Italy h had been ar-
ranged.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said' he
should have been glad to have given a more perfect and
concise answer to the question had he received notice front
the right hon. gentleman of putting it. Up to that morn-
ing he had not received an: communication by which he
could add anything to the statement made by his
noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in another
place. The Government had entertained the proposal for
a conference of the great Powers in Europe in order if
possible to prevent the calamities of war, and their earnest
desire and sanguine hope is that such a result might be
brought about. Ho could not say the terms of congress had
been adjousted, but he did not see any reason that diffi-
culty would arise as to the adjustment of those terms.
With respect to the statement published in a foreign paper,
referred to by the hon. gentleman opposite, according to
his information, it went beyond the state of facts.
_ CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL.
In reply to an Hon. Member,
The CHA_NCELLOB of the EXCHEQUEB, in refe-
rence to the motions of the hon. member for Buckingham
on the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, and the hon.
member for Dudley on the Terminable Annuities Bill, with
"a view to obtain a reduction of the fire and marine
insurances, said that if the house did not determine the
question on the motion for the hon. member for Bucking-
ham, the hon. member for Dudley ought to have an oppor-
tunity of raising his question on the Terminable Annuities
Bill.

On the motion that the bill be read a second time,
Mr. HUBBARD moved that it was inexpedient to retain,
as part of the inland revenue for the service of the year, the
present duties on fire and marine insurances, which were
unjust in their incidence on property, and injurious to
the
national industry. The hon. gentleman took the
opportunity of going into the Government profits, and
said that he considered that the fairest and best manner of
devoting the small surplus was by remitting 6d. of the
fire duty, and reducing the duty ou marine insurance to
3d. per £lOO.
Mr. MARSH seconded the resolution. He said the mo-
tion opened up the whole of the Government proposals
contained in the financial statement made by the l'iogtt,
hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Some
of the proposals he thought would be
