A NAVAL MYSTERY.

The American papers give further details
Of the encounter between the Peruvian
rebel ship Huascar and the Shah -
On the 2Sth of May the Huascar op-
pearcl at Pisagua, a little port 81 miles
north Of I%quique, and diSembarked a force
Of sc men to capture the town. The
scanty garrison resisted, and only after the
commandment of the National troops was
seriously wounded dill the revolutionary
party gain possession of the place. Mean
time tne squadron, composed of the IRON
clad frjgato Independence, the corvette
Union, and the gunboat PllcomayO steam
cd into the harbour and opened fire OF the
Huascar, Which the rebel vessel lost no
time in returning. The fight continued
for an hour and q half at rifle range, when,
darkness coming on, the Huascor thought
it advisable to decamp. The force sent
on shore returned on board. The lode
pendencia lost two men, and had her smoke
stack shot away. This combat is the first
encounter between ironclad vessels in the
Pecifc. The Independence, a heavily
armourcd frigate, carries fourteen 10
FOUNDER guns and two 150-pounders.
The Huascar, a turreted ram, has two
300-pounders in her turret aud two 40.
FOUNDERS on pivots. These two vessels
were built at the same time by Messrs.
Ssmuda on the Thames and Nqssrs. Lloyd

South Australia direc: from England, no
great stress can be laid on this argument.
The Chinese question, however, is diff
fculty for Queensland, just as it is for tho
State Of California, ana the problem how
to deal with it consistently with Treaty
obligations is not an easy one TO solve.
The new Government which has lately
succeeded to power in New South Wales
is not at present very strong. II il get

Inmates, and it has been seriously with
stood in its proposal to shorten the Ses-
sion BY poetponing the consideration
Of the Electoral Bill. It was only saved
from defeat on this question by the casting
vote Of the Speaker. The Premier, too,
has been unfortunately i'll, and his ab-
seuce from Parliament has been q serious
disadvantage, The new Treasurer las
made a supplementary Budget speech,
which brings our financial statistics down
to the latest date. The effect was to show
that Mr.. Stuart, the late Treasurer, had
been unnecessarily cautions in expecting
= slight decline in the r. venue from land.
So fer from that being ths case, the re-
ceipts from this source for the first
quarter of tbs year ere 94O0, 900 in ex-
cess Of the corresponding quarter of last
year, and from the demand for surveys
already entered N the Lands Office, it is
confidently calculated ltlat this rats Of
sale will be kept up if surveyors can be
found TO measure the land fast enough.
The consequence is that while tho late
Treasurer estimated this years revenue
st less than five millions, tho present
Treasurer calculates thet it will be more
than $4,000, 600. n spite Of tbs OPEN
handed Liberal y v,ifh which lhs Est.
mates are framed, he expects a surplus on
this year alone Of nearly 100000, and
this added to the accumulated surplus
Of previous years will give US q total of
two millions aud q half. In these cir
cumstances, it is not to be expected that
wc shall appear this year as borrowers
in che London market /; for although large
sums VIII be voted for railways, the con-
ditions Of the lab9ur-market keep the
actual expenditure within moderate limits.
