SECOND EDITION.

European ancl Other JEToreig;" Items. London, January 7 The Lochnagar, from London to Nelson, has put back to repair the damage caused by a collision. 'lhe reporters charged with being accessory to the manslaughter of Smith, pugilist, who was killed m a glove tight, were discharged. The imports into the United King dom during the past year show a de crease of £3,678,000, and the exports an increase of .£231,000. Dr. Creed, of .Sydney, m a letter to The Times, urges that the inaction of the Government m the Costa Rica Packet case has injured the Imperial prestige m Australia, and is tending to ■weaken the ties between the colonies and the mother country. The Special Committee of the Corporation of London appointed to copsider the scheme for the unification of the Corporation with the County Council, advises the creation of separate municipalities with a central body for certain purposes.

The Irish Party.

London, January 8. Mr Gladstone, replying to an address from Irishmen, previous to his depar ture for Cannes, urged the burial of internal discords, and hoped the leaders m America would insist on the union of parties m Ireland.

Cable Guarantee.

London, January 7 The action of Victoria m wishing to ■withdraw from the cable guarantee causes some anxiety m commercial circles, and an increase m the tariff is inevitable if the agreement is broken. Inquiries as to the probable obligation of the colonies this year show that not more than £7000 will be required, therefore the action of the Victorian Government is considered to be un justified. Should the cable tarifi be increased it is likely to affect the wiring of market quotations for Aus tralian produce and mining ventures.

SEVERE WEATHER.

London, January 8 There has been a severe snowfall m Scotland, France and Italy. Many villages and trains were snowed up. Six British steamers were imprisoned by ice floes at Nicolaieff, on the river Bug, m Southern Russia. Inverness is isolated by the snow. Maoy people were frozen to death m Hungary, At Orbi a rescue party were unable to reach the villagers imprisoned by an avalanche.

Armenian Atrocities.

London, January 7 It is alleged that m pursuance of Zakki Pasha's offer of an amnesty if they would return to their homes, a delegation of sixty Aimenians tendered their submission. The unfortunate people were, treacherously seized by the Turks, tortured and killed, and their bodies then thrown into a well. The Standard's correspondent at Constantinople reports that the Sultan ordered Rustem Pasha, the Ambas sador m London, to telegraph the text' of Mr Gladstone's speech to the Armenian delegates. He was simply furious at the tone of the ex-Premier's | remarks, which will increase the diplo matic difficulty tenfold, and probably baa barrier to the enforcement of reforms.

LABOR.

Sydney, January 8 There is every reason to anticipate a satisfactory settlement of the coal difficulty. The proprietors state that figures show that more than half the coal obtained m the colony must find an outside market, and unless it can be supplied low enough to compete with coal from other parts of the world some of the Newcastle mines must close. Under such circumstances they think it will not be easy to induce the miners to agree to the extreme step of striking generally. The settlement at Wallsend has been a potent factor m dispelling the threatened trouble. The attitude taken by the Austra lian Agricultural Company, whose Superintendent some time ago ex pressed the opinion that wages were low enough, has played no little part m averting the difficulty so far.

Victorian Parliament.

A. Ministerial Crisis

Melbourne, January 9 The hostility of the Legislative Council towards the land-tax continues. In the Legislative Assembly last night, after securing a reduction m the sum appropriated for payment of Ministers from £15,000 to £10,400 the Premier moved the second reading of a bill to reduce the payment of members from £270 per annum to £200. Mr Han cock protested against the Bill, holding that it was a concession to screeches, and said an impression was abroad that it was the outcome of an attempt to abolish payment of members alto gether. The second reading of the Bill was carried on division by sixty j votes to twenty. In Committee on the measure a crisis was precipitated at a late hour last night. Mr Patterson moved to reduce the amount of the honorarium from £270 to £250, in stead of £200 as proposed m the Biil. This amendment was negatived, where upon Mr Hancock moved a reduction of one shilling on the amount sug gested by Mr Patterson. Mr Murray moved to report progress, and the Government opposed the m,otjo,n.j but on a division the labor Dcsm ber? who had hotly opposed the re duction m the payment, joined forces with the opposition party the result being the defeat of the Government by eight votes. The Premier then mpved the adjournment of the House, stating that the Government had lost control p| the business and would like time to consider their action, This was agreed to and the House adjourned till Thurs day. The Premier's statement is taken to imply the resignation of the Mm

COMMERCIAL.

London, Januiry 8 Wheat has risen 61 per quarter. The cold weather is causing briskness m the butter trade, but prices have not im proved owing to the heavy stocks. Victorian realises 943 to 100s, and choicest brands 102s to 104s. Melbourne, January 8 The first shipment of cheese under the new bonus regulations will be sent away during the week. It consists of sixty-eight tons, graded by experts of the Agricultural Department. The bonus to be paid is £3 per ton, provided it sells at not less than 50s per cwt. It is anticipated that regular shipments will be made during the next three months. The Agricultural Department is taking measures to prove the adaptability of the climate to grow kapok (a material used m upholstery.)

The Minister of Lands has ordered the roads on the Pomahaka estate to be put m good order, at an estimated cost of £560. The Rev W. Grant, of Leesttn, has been appointed Moderator of the Ohristchureh Presbytery for the ensuing year. A t the Presbytery meeting on Tuesday, the name of Hie Methven charge was altered to Springburn.

School Examination.

IIXVEItSIUE

The following is the Inspector's report on Riverside School, examined on November 14:—

ADDITIONAL SUBJECTS. Repetition and Recitation —Satisfactory. Drill and Exercises—A small amount: boys only. Singing—Efficiently taught with pleasing result m rase of girls. Needlework- Satisfactory. Comprehension of language of reading iessons—Fair. Stajt. —Messrs Hubert Speight, master; Mrs Amos, sewing mistress. Gexekalj kemahks.—The school con tinues to be efficiently conducted. The work done by the children is for the most part of good quality, and if the arithmetic from standard three upwards were a little stronger, and the reading of more merit m standard three, there would be little left to be desired among subjects of the pass group. In class subjects, grammar, science and object lessons are of a substantial value The children of the two lowest standard classes (standards two and one) are well prepared m essential respects, and the pre paratory division gives evidence of very satisfactory progress.—VV. J. Andekson, Inspector.
