On the Sth, in the House Of Lords, the Jew bill
passed through committee an amendment hay-

Majesty upon ecclesiastical appointments.
In the House of Commons, after some general de
bate the government of India bill was read third
time and passed, amidst loud cheers.
Sir L. b. Lytton then moved the second reading
of the government of New Caledonia bill, the OBJ
ect of which is to establish a settled form of gov
eminent in that part of British North America to
which, in consequence of recent gold discoveries |
great stream of population is now directed. He |
urged the Importance of strong governmental being |
established in the first instance, and added that the
present government had decided on continuing the |
policy of the late government, with respect to the
privileges possessed by the Hudson's Bay Company.
In the course of his observations, he stated that
there was every reason to expect very large pro-
ducton of gold in the country about to be created
into colony. The bill would only remain in force
five years, and then the powers of the governor
would be resigned to free and local institutions.
After some observations from various speakers,
generally in praise of the government scheme, the
bill was read a second time.
On the 9th, in the House of Lords, the India bill
was read a first time.
The Earl of Malmesbury said the government in

refer to, to from Cuban waters the squadron
now stationed there; but there no intention
whatever of disseminating the blockade of the coast
Of Africa.
In the House of Commons, Mr.. D'Israeli, in re-

taken into consideration the expediency of making
use of the Leviathan to lay down the Atlantic
cable.
THE NEW GOLD MINES.
! The publication of some parliamentary papers
shows that SIRE. Bulwer Lytton, the Secretary of

| Victoria, Vancouvers Island, as to his conduct in
! the present emergency. The dispatch is dated July
| l. and says chat while her Maesty's government
determined on preserving the rights both OF gov
eminent and commerce, which belong to this coun-

to furnish you with instructions of more definite
character. Her Majesty's government must leave

influence and powers you may possess, in the man.

THE TELEGRAPH CABLE.
Neither the Agamemnon nor her tender, the al
orous, had arrived at Queenstown, and nothing
further had transpred in regard to the Atlantic
Gable. The Niagara and Gorgon were taking in
Goals, and would be ready for sea again about the
time the America sailed. The Agamemnon and
Valorous could be coaled and got ready for sea
tors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company were to
meet and decide upon future action Immediately
upon the arrival of the Agamemnon.
1t is stated, says the Daily Nens, that the at
tempt to lay the cable will certainly be renewed
this year, perhaps almost Immediately. As soon as
the Agamemnon makes her appearance the real po-
