of gold used was Valued at £50,000. The festivities concluded with a state dinner. The chief subject of interest and dis cussion in India and China daring the month has been with reference to the action consequent on Mr Mar carey's murder, and Sir Douglas Forsyth's mission to the King of Burmah. One of Mr Margarey's Chinese servants is rep orted to have escaped to the coast. He says two attendants fought desperately before they were overpowered, but Mr Margarey w as cut to pieces without warning. Colonel Horace Brown, who commanded the expedi tion, has arrived at China, to consult Mr Wade. It was rumoured on the ISth June from EaDgoon through Chinese merchants, that an army of 100,000 men was being con centrated at Mamoyne, -whtre the massacre took place, and that large stores of grain had been collected. Ttie visit of the Chinese or rebel general Leesetahi tothe Kingof Burmah, who favourably received him, was connected with this movement, and is considered to implicate the King. The Eev. A. G. Coplestone, a tutor at Oxford and a young man of 30, has been ap pointed Bishop of Colombo. He is the fourth livitx* bishop—the first draws a pension from tbe colony of £SSO per annum ; the second is chaplain general of the army ; and the third is Bishop Germyn, lately retired from bad health. Steps are being taken in CeyJcn to secure the disestablishment of religion. The Australian colonies are held to be an example of the good effect of separating the church from the state. The scandal of state-sup ported bishops and clergymen is great in India and Ceylon, where the heathen pay the mijor portion of The tsxes. The servants of the Company are generally very indignant at the reduction of salaries proclaimed by the directors, and some severe letters have appeared in the Indian press on the subject. 'J he feeling is that the prestige for good management and safety of the Peninsular and Oriental ships is more depen dent on the high character of the officers than anything else, and disaffection and cbaDges among them will tend greatly to injure the position of the Company. Hongkongl, June 25. A Chinese gunboat lias fired upon and seized the British steamer Carisbrook off the coast of Kawau, the vessel being suspected to be engaged in smuggling. The steamer Carisbrook, seized on suspicion of smuggling, has been released, security being given for 240,000 dollars, the value of the cargo, pend ing reference to Pekin. The Sassoon Dock, Bombay, the first wet dock in India, has been successfully opened, and the s.s. Carradoe, of 900 tons, docked. Cotton-spinning mills at Bombay are prov ing a success. It is estimated that 55,000 looms in England are employed on account of India, and now as many as S,OOO looms run in India. The expenditure on reproductive woiks in India is to be reduced from four and a half to four million pounds per annum. One thousand eii'ht hundred and sixty-five miles of state railwry are to be constructed in India during the next five years ; 720 on the broad gauge, and 1,145 on the narrow. Australian trees have succeeded so well in the Meilgherry hills, South India, that ab Ootacamund they are deemed a nuisance.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Reception of the Abolitiion Scheme. The abolition scheme was very favourably received here by all classes.

A public meeting is to be held to-morrow night on the matter.

The death of Judge Beckham caused much surprise and regret here.

Child Smothered. An inquest was held on the body of a child 1\ months old, the .daughter of Mr Curtis Moore who died during the night. Medical testimony attributes death to suffoca tion, caused by either lying on its face or its mouth being covered with a blanket. A verdict of "accidentally suffocated" was returned.

PARLIAMENTARY

[From our Special Correspondent.]

The Government Caucus.

Forty-five will Support Second Beading-

WELLINGTON,

Saturday. [A portion of the following appeared in a second edition on Saturday.]

At the caucus held at Dr Pollen's house, forty-six were present, including Mr Reader Wood. He stated that he regretted he must part from the party with which he had hitherto worked, because he beUeved they were doing an illegal act. He retired. It was then put to the vote whether the party would support the Government in pressing through abolition, and none of the forty-five objected to support the second reading, but several said they must consult their constituents as to sup porting the other stages of the present ses sion as meetings were held. Mr Brown of Otago, and Messrs Bradßhaw and Creighton were those who expressed a desire to consult their constituents before supporting the measure further than the second reading, . This day. The Gum Tax. You may regard the gum tax as shelved, its father having abandoned the bantling. The views of the committee were rather unfavourable, and Mr Dargaville's telegram clinched it. It is generally known that the i-mancial statement, when fiist prepared by Major Atkinson, dealt exceedingly severely with Mr Vogel over the loan negotiations, taking side with the Crown Agents. He was sub seouently compelled by his colleagues to lick ittnto shape so as to eulogise Mr Vogel and his action. It is known that Major Atkinson, who is by all regarded as an honest, candid member of the Government, is not at all in " all fours " with his colleagues. Opposition Caucus- A caucus of the Opposition is being held at twelve at the provincial buildings. It is understood that it will trump the Govern ment by far more liberal proposals, and a complete reform. The finance of the Govern ment abolition is generally laughed at. The statement will be shown to be utterly fallacious' and impracticable. You may expect startling things. ~ A caucus of Auckland members is convened for to-night.

We learn that Mr G. N". Brassey has received a telegram stating that the solicitors at the Thames have consented to close their respective offices to-merrow, out of respect to the memory of the late District Judge, Thomas Beckham, Esq. I?,A barque, deeply laden with coal, is com ing in as we go to press. It is, no doubt, the Stag, which lefc Newcastle on the 22nd July. |

The City Council offices will be closed to morrow afternoon from two till four, out of respect to the late Mr Thomas Bcckham, whose funeral takes place at that time.

The Government' Caucus.

The result of the caucus of Government supporters on Saturday can scarcely be satis factory to the conveners. Forty-six repre sentatives were present, but amongst them were several who are not supporters of the Government. This Dr. Pollen accounted f. r by stating that he had invited not only tho3e who voted with the Government lafst session but those who during the lecess had expressed opinions favorable to abortion. He had no wish that attendance shouid be taken as a pledge of support, but wished to ascertain the feelings of those present as to the Government proposals. The members present were Messr3 Andrew, Atkinson, Jdallance, Blueti-, Bowen, Bradshaw, Brown, Brycs, Buckland,CarringtoD,Creighton,Cuth bertson, Gibbs, Johnston, T.Kelly, W. Kelly, Luckie, May, McGillivray, McGlashan, Sir I). McLean, G. McLean, Mervyn, Munro, O'Connor, O'Neill, Ormond, C. Parker, G. B. Parker, Pearce, Pyke, Reynolds, Richard son, T. L. Shepherd, Stafford, Steward, Wakefield, Wales, Webb, Williams, Wilson, Wood.

Mr Keader Wood practically opened the proceedings by slating that, although a thorough abolitionist, he would be do party to an illegal and unconstitutional act, and as he believed the Assembly had not power to abolish provinces, he Avould oppose any attempt to do so. After fully explaining his position he retired, and then Messrs. Brad shaw, Creighton, and Brown urged that the bills should not be pressed beyond the second reading this session, plainly intimat ing they would net support them beyond that stage

Mr. Stafford was enthusiastic in his ap proval ot tha Government proposals. He urged immediate abolition, and moved a, reso lution pledging the meeting to support Ministers to the bitter end.

Messrs. Brown and other mombers re peated their statement that they would do, nothing of the kind, as they thought there should be an appeal to the country. Mr Buckland complained of the clauses practically continuing the compact' of 1856, localising land revenue, and complaining that these were in violation of the late Prtmiei'a pledge that the hill should be one for aboli tion only, aud not refer to the Laid reveuuo or that of the Gov< i-nmcnfc.

Messrs May and Wiliiama spoke in the same stiain, while Mr Wales would certainly not support tti« bill if the?e clauses were lc-fc out.

Sir Donald McLean explained that thr> details of 15:11s wore nofc cast iron and the Government would be quite willing to enteitain amendments in committee but were quite determined to press the measures.

Mr Gibba spoke doubtfully of going beyond a second leading, aud Mr Oarrington hinted a wish to consult his Provincial Couucil. Messrs T. Kelly, O. Parker, T. K. Shephard and Luckie were red hot for pushing matters to the last, but Mr Johnson spoke rather doubtfully.

Mr ± Jy"ke would not support the final passage of the bills this session.

Mr Pearce after some allusion to his not having voted last session, avowed himself a supporter of the measures this year, and Mr Wakefield spoke.

The end of it was that Mr Stafford's motion was understood to be agreed to, but with mental reservations to suit the consciences of each individual present. The caucus showtdthat in the Government pa<-ty there are irreconcilable differences of opinion on the most important points, not merely of detail but of principle, and that these prevail to an extent which must prove fatal to the Bills getting through this session.

The Opposition Caucus

Sir George toy Sleeted Leader.

3.1(5 p.m. The caucus of the Opposition has just risen after a very satisfactory meeting. There was a numeious attendance. Kote3 were received from several absent members expressing full sympathy. After conside rable discussion, it was unanimously agreed to pi event the passing of the present Government Bills until an appeal has been made to the country ; to insist on a thorough and complete enpuiry into the con dition of public finance, expenditure, and public departments.

Sir George Grey was unanimously elected leader, and will formally announce its form ation and position, and that he is to be the exponent of its views. The Opposition is to insist on statement of public works and im migration and the Representation Bills being submitted, and full details of the finance of abolition before the estimates arc considered.

The struggle, therefore, will be on the estimates. It is confidently believed that the Bills cannot paES this session. No stone will be left unturned. Members will talk against time, obstruct any stage, and use all Parliamentary means to compel the bills being sent to the counsry.

Mr Fitzherbert declares his determination to put forth all his strength, and give in structions to younger members under any difficulty in making speeches as to how to spin them out.

It is known that a considerable number of those at the late Government caucus will work with the Oppesition in determining to prevent the final passing of the bills this session.

We learn here that a most garbled and un truthful statement as to the unanimity of the Government caucus is circulated in Auck land. I can say on authority that great diversity of opinion was manifested, and the defections since have been numerous.

The Bills will not pass this session. The pending struggle is about to be the fiercest and most determined yen known in Parliament, unless the Government give way promptly which is not unlikely.

The caucus of Auckland members is now being held at the Princess Hotel. It com menced at three o'clock.

About 30 members were present.

-Sv'lSj (Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day. What the Times Thinks of the Caucus

.. In an article on the caucus of Government supporters, held on Saturday, the Times this morning says: —"It is impossible to state that a majority of the House of Representa tives pledged themselves to carry the Go vernment bills through during the present session. It also states that the Government are so well fortified with high legal opinion that no doubt whatever is entertained as to the power of the General Assembly to abolish Provincial Governments.

ARRIVAL OF THE SUEZ MAIL.

The letter portion of the Auckland division of the Suez Mail was this time j.l iced on board the s.s. Hero, and in consequence arrives here two days sooner than it would have done had it come on from Anstralia, via the Bluff. We trust that the postal authorities on the other side will In future see that this plan, where it can be used beneficially, will always be adopted. The newspapers will come by the other route. We are indebted to Mrs Anaevn, of Grafton Road, for a copy of the latest Some Neios.

CITY COUNCIL.—This Day.

At the City Council meeting held this afternoon the Mayor occupied the chair and there were present Councillors Isaacs, Buchanan, Brett, Daldy.

A letter from Mr. Yon der Heyde was read asking leave of absence for 3 months Ife was moved by Cr. Daldy and seconded by Cr. Buchanan and agreed that leave be granted. The Mayor stated that Mr. Phil lips had returned much restored in health. He would be at his duties to-morrow.

A leter from Mr iSroham stated that the public pound in Queen and Victoria-street had been removed by the Provincial Govern ment.

The matter was referred to the City Sur veyor to select a site for a frosh pound. A letter from the Gas Cempany was read in reference to the pipes in the cesspits in Wakefi eld-street.

The Clerk was instructed to write and say that the company were at liberty to remove the pipes at their own expense. (Loft Sitting.)

SALE OF NEW SEASON TEAS.

The Sidney Morning Herald of July 27, reports: "A full attendance of the trade attended the sale of new teas at Messrs. Carey, Gilles, and Co.'s rooms, where Brown and Co.'s shipment ex Namoa was offered. The quality of the [teas appeared to meet more approval than the prices offered, as only a limited portion changed hands under the hammer at prices ranging up to 2s Id per It). Several lines were afterwards quitted privately at an improvement. The indisposi tion to buy was probably due to reports of Pardo and Somerset having left Foochoo for Australia early this month. Of the sugars ex Marie Alfrv.d about 50 tons were quitted, at from £'. yA 12^ Gd to £?A> for low to medium whites.
