LATE CABLE NEWS.

[“ AGE ” SPECIALS] London, Jane 17. Earl Carnarvon has entertained a large number of Au-tralian colonists to a ban quet held at High Close. Sir I Samuel Davenport responded to an admirable speech to the toast of the colonies. Regarding tie New Hebrides question, the “ Morning .Post ” writing on the sub ject ascribes the bold move made bj" France wholly to the cowardly policy of the English Premier, r-H- Gladstone. The “Standard’' is particularly pro nonnced in its allusions to the question, j Referring to the reported annexation of j the Islands by France, it says that if events shou'd prove that any such action has been attempted by the French Go vernment, it will bo nece s sa r y that the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Bail Rosebery, should enter a stern pro test against such a broach of the interna tional law, and demands reparation. It is preferable, the “Standard’ adds, that England should quarrel t with France than with her own colonies The “Pall Mall Gazette” of this evening writes vigor ously rela ive to the reported action of France. It says that if the French Go ■varnmont persist in taking the New Heb rides they will be guilty of such a gross breach of international law that it will become necessary for Lord Lyons, the British Ambassador to France, to demand his passports from the French Govern ment. Mr Jas. Bryce has been ques tioned by both Sir Michael Hicks Beach and Mr Howard Spensley in the House of Commons on the subject, but Mr Bryce was not in a position to add anything to the official utterances that have already been made on the question. Lord Salis bury has given notice of his intention to ask Lord Roeeb' ry for information on the same matter. The English Press is un animous in insisting that England shall maintain a firm attitude with regard to j the New Hebrides

It is stated that the Hev Charles James Thomson, vicar of St John the Baptist’s, Cardiff, and chaplain of Bishop Llanluft, has been offered and \vill,prob ably accept the position of Bishop of Melbourne. The vacant Bishopric has been offered to Archdeacon Blunt, of East Riding, County Cork

June 18 Mr Gladstone’s journey to Edinburgh has been one prolonged ovation, the Premier being received with the utmost enthusiasm at every stopping place. June 20

Whilst M. de Freycinet disclaims any desire on the part of France to secure the New Hebrides by strategical means which might cause annoyance to the English Government, it is certain that France will continue military provis’on for the protection of French subjects against attack by the natives of the Islands The official press of France insists upon a renewal of negotiations between the French and English Governments for the cession of the islands to France. It is generallv expected that the approaching elections will result in a material strengthening of the Gladstone party and chat a majority will be returned to the House of Commons pledged to support the Irish policy of the Liberal leader. Juue 21 A special service was held yesterday in St Paul’s Cathedra’, in commemoration of the Quesi.'s accession to the throns. Visitors from Australia now in London attended the service in great numb rs.

GENERAL SUMMARY. London, J une 4

The Orange workmen employed at the Queen Islands Yards attacked, on J une 4th, the navvies employed by the Harbor Commissioners, overpowering them and beating them savagely. They drove them into the water, and it was with the greatest difficulty that, the injured, exhausted, aad Straggling were rescued. Tne Orangemen made the assault because the navvies, it is alleged had previously attacked some Bayalists for aspersing the Home Rule movement. Intense excitement prevailed among the lojal Catholics in consequence of the att ck. The Orangemen numbered 2000, and the navvies but 103, and a repetition of the historical riots was feared. Policemen fully armed patrolled the city, and the military were he’d in v readiness within their barrac-s. Thirty Catholics were injured, and twelve of the injured were taken to the hospital. The body of James Curry, one of the navvies, who was missing for a time, Ins been recovered He was the sole support of a widowed mother.

AMERICAN SUMMARY San Fkanoisco, June 5 The polyganrsts in Utah, to whom offers of clemency were made by the authorities if they would promise obedience to the law, spurned the overtures indignantly In their reply they said “Our wives wonld deem such action cruel. Inhuman, and monstrous. Our children would blush for shame, and we should deserve the scorn and contempt of all honorable men.” San Francisco was shaken by a slight earthquake on May 26th. Herr Johann Most and his Anarchist companions were found guilty of misde meanour in meeting to riot in Chicago. Oa May 29th, “Decoration Day,’ adorning the graves f Union soldiery, was obse’ved in San Francisco and other cities as a legal holiday. Archbishop G bhon, of Baltimore, Maryland, has been elevated to the Card inalata by the Pope. 'The American Trade Unions held a Convention in Philadelphia on May 18th, and decided to oppose the Knights of Xtabor, who are encroaching upon the open Unions. The Maine fishermen have held a Con vention, and resolved to reaV by force all future attempts of the Canadians to seize their vessels for infringing their fishing laws.
