THE LATE MR SPURGEON'S ESTATE.

Apart from the copyright of his sermons and books, and his library, the property left by Mr Spurgeon amounts to only £2000. DEFENCE OF MALTA. Owing to the treachery of Sergeant Holden, of the engineers, in selling the plans of defence in Malta to the French, it has been decided to alter the whole of the defences. A French gunboat took soundings round the island of Malta, and also manag«d to inspect the various fortifi cations. Her officers are believed to be in possession of plans of the new defence works of the island. THE COLLIERS' DISPUTE. Though the ballot of the Durham miners was in favor of a continuance of the strike, the Miners' Federation has appealed to the masters to allow the men to resume work. A ballot was taken among the Durham miners and the majority de clared in favour of continuing the strike. Twenty thousand iron workers are thrown out of work by the strike of the Durham miners. THE COTTON TRADE. j All the spindles in A-shton-under- Lyne will be stopped for a month in order to reduce the quantity of stocks on hand. IMPERIAL POLITICS. In an address issued to the Unionists and dissenters, Mr Cham berlain assets that Home Rule has been supported by lying, dishonest trickery, murder and outrages. The attention which this question had ab sorbed was the cause of the postpone ment of the discussion of the great question of disestablishment. In the course of a speech Mr John Morley said the pressure of Irish affairs was responsible for the inadequate discussion of English business in the House of Commons. Alluding to the Labor question Mr Morley said the division on the Eight Hours Bill pointed to a new distribu tion of political force. In the course of a speech Lord Wolseley declared that the invasion of England was impossible, A standing army of 12,000 men, and a reserve of 90,000, were sufficient to ensure safety from the attack of a foreign foe. The Gold Purchase Amendment Bill was thrown out on the motion for the second reading. The Unionists have decided to con test th« whole of the Irish constituen cies agaiiist the Irish Nationalists party. The Imperial Budget will probably be brought down on the 11th inst. EMPIRE TRADE LEAGUE. In an article in the "Nineteenth Century" Sir C. H. Tupper expresses the opinion that the Eirpire Trade League will not involve the principle of protection, and says the action of the Agents-General in seeking to abro gate the clauses of commercial treaties is an evidence of Australian feeling on the subject. The city committee of the Imperial Federation League recommend that a commercial union should be based on freetrade between the Mother Country and the rest of the Empire. THE EDWARDS APPEAL CASE. .Argument in the Privy Council in the case of the Attorney-General of New Zealand v Judge Edwards has concluded, and judgment has been re served. THE RUSSIAN BUDGET.

THE ANARCHISTS.

Paris, March 31. 3. Ravachal, the leader of the Anarchists, is charged with having committed six murders. He denies that he was connected with the last explosion. Ravachal was seized by the police in a wine shop. He had two revolvers in his possession, but his attempts to use them were frustrated. When he •was safely secured he shouted " Vive l'Anarcbie." There is great rejoicing In the city at Ravachal's arrest. A considerable quantity of explosives was found secreted in his lodgings. Paris, April 1. Several of the anarchists in custody have confessed and declared that Rava chal was the author of the dynamite outrages and robberies in Paris. Nathiane, his chief accomplice, baa also been arrested. Ravachal himself has confessed to several of the murders.

NEW SOUTH WALES PARLIA MENT.

THE RABBIT PLAGUE.

> The Government have been urged to again offer a reward of £25,000 for an effective remedy for the destruction of the rabbit pest; also to allow further experiments to be made with M. Pasteur's microbes. It has been pointed out that it would cost £7,000,000 to carry out an effective system of netting. The Government promised to consider the matter during the recess.

INTERPROVINCIAL.

Auckland. April 1, The Auckland Agricultural Association have presented their President, Mr F. W. Massey, with a tea and coffee service. It has been decided by the Association to take steps to consolidate all kindred societies m this provincial district m the interests of agriculture. Wangantji, April 1. With regard to the strictures passed on Mr G. W. Bassett, Chairman of the Licensing Committee, by Mr F. A. Krull, J.P., from the Bench, particulars of which were telegraphed a week ago ; the former now publishes a statement that he i has consulted nearly all the town Justices all of whom repudiate Mr Kruli's remark, and state that they had no knowledge of his intentions. Mr Bassett denies having objected to Mr Parsons sitting on the Bench as the owner of an hotel, but only as a licensee. Wellington, April 1. At a meeting of shareholders of the Mokau Coal Company to-night a resolu tion was carried m favor of forming a defence fund to meet any claims that might be brought against the company by Mr J. McCleland, who holds a mortgage over the plant, or by the liquidators. Several speakers declares that the com pany (of which the levanting A. W. Brown was chairman) had not been pro- j perly organised, and that none of the directors held the necessary shares (50) to qualify them for the position. Others allege that those posing as directors were responsible for the liabilities incurred. Nothing was said as to carrying on work at the mine. The opening address of the president of the Post and Telegraph Officers' Society, at the annual meeting which is being held here, contained highly eulogistic references to the Postmaster-General, who has had some of the grievances of the officers rectified, and also tor his courtesy and consideration of the representations of the Society, and more especially by his practical measures for placing members on a proper and just footing m the Civil service. The other business transacted so far is of no public interest. The meeting will probably close on Monday morning. JJ Blenheim, April 1. The charges against Alexander Waller, preferred by the Wakamarina Gorge Min ing Company, for malicious injury to the Company's engine, were gone into before the Resident Magistrate yesterday, and the enquiry was adjourned until to-day, and concluded. Mr Sinclair prosecute! for the Company, and Mr McCallum defended. After hearing evidence on both sides the resident Magistrate held that there was no prima facie case, and refused to commit. It is understood that Waller will institute an action, claiming heavy damages for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. Invkrcarotl. April 1. No tracß has yet been found of Mr E. P. Brown of the National Bank, Riverton, who has been missing since Wednesday morning, when he was seen going to wards the bathing place with a towel m his hand. Mr Brown, who was the son of a clergyman at Waikaia, had been suffering from nervous debility and occasional dementia for about ten days before his disappearance. Lloyds' agent here wrote to the Chamber of Commerce re the courts of marine enquiry as at present constituted, pointing out that it wasimpossible for a landsman to put questions of a practical character to seafaring men m connection with navigation, and that enquiries consequently were sometimes valueless. The Chamber afterwards passed a resolution to ask the Government to appoint a permanent Board or Boards of experts for marine enquiries.
