LATE FOREIGN NEWS.

Paris, Aug. 1O.-A force of six
hundred troops has been despatched
to Madagascar, to reinforce the
French garrison at Tamatave.
London, Aug. l0.-The latest
news from Madagascar states that
the French garrison at Tamatave are
threatened with famine. The Hovas
refuse to supply the troops with any
provisions.
Madrid, Aug. lo.-relegrams
from Barcelona report that consi-
derable agitation prevails in that
district in consequence of the revo-
lutionary movement which has lately
been manifested. Fears are enter
tanned that serious insurrection is
imminent. Some alarm has been
created here by the intelligence just
to hand that several Carlist ennis
saries are now in the northern pro-
vinces with the object, it is feared,
of stimulating the revolutionary
feeling in the army.
A proclamation has been issued
to-day declaring the province Of Ca
talonia in state of siege, and strong
forces of troops have been des-
patched to the centres of population
in consequence of the disaffection
now prevailing IN the district and
the fear of an insurrection.
Latest accounts from Leo de
Urgal report that on the arrival of
the loyal troops at that place por-
ton of the rebel garrison crossed
the border into French territory, and
the remainder submitted.
London, Aug. 11.-The ,Statist
predicts that the Australasian colo
nies will sever their connection with
the Empire unless England takes
effectual means to prevent the de-
portation Of French convicts to the
Pacific. The Saturday Review ex-
poets that serious difficulties will
arise unless Lord Derby yields to
the representations of the colonies,
and it notices that they address
England as an equal power.
The Austral has arrived and been
docked in Glasgow, where the Board
of Trade has made certain expert
ments with view of testing her
stability.
Melbourne, Aug. 1.-THE Gov
ernor has received telegram from
Earl Derby, notifying that arrange
ments have been made by the I'm
perial Government for the Irish in
formers to be returned to England.

simultaneous arrival of the barqucs
Otago Captain Davison) and Christine

an eight months tour of the globe. They
both left originally for St. Vincent's
Gulf together, and thence within few
hours of each other for Algoa Bay,
South Africa. In January last the Chris
tine left Port Pirie, and the Otago Port
Augusta; both were in Algoa Bay to-
gether, and left there i'm company for
Mauritius, arriving at their destination
within three days of each other. They
were chartered there by the same agents
Blyth Brothers and Co., and once more
quilted the same bay on the same day,
bound for the same port. They kept in
company nearly the whole way, bound
each for Melbourne, and passed Cape
Otway on the same day, arriving at
Melbourne almost together, the Chris
tine having a day to the good. Business
concluded there, they once more quilted
Port Phillip Heads at the same hour,
and arrived at Newcastle within an hour
and falf of each other, the Christine
being the first to put in an appearance
round Nobby's.. Their casting was run
down on an average of about 40 degrees
