claiming their determination to remain at prece Deed ipeak louder than words i Our reader will be glad to find that the i subject of the navel defence of Australia has excited considerable attention and that tbe Government have announced their intention of eetabluhing a Commodore's station at Sydney A suggestion for which the colonies will pro bably evince little gratitude although it emanated from a friend wa made in the House of Common by Lord A Chunhill That nobleman proposed that soma of the useleas block hie now rutting in British dockyards should be sent out with emigrants to Australia and then manned by a colonial naval militia for the purpose of defending our shores At a time when Britain is seriously concerned at the close equality of rance in uaral architecture and ia straining every nerve to maintain her supremacy it is rethcrtoo bad to expect colonial volunteers to fight iu ship in which it ia supposed that British tan cannot cope with their antagonists It i another specimen of the old Anything will do for England is now increasing her nary very considerably with tbe consent of all parties for even the moat Englishmen are satisfied lint it will not do to abandon tliat position of ma trial strength which so wonderfully aastains the moral influence of Britain Amongst tbe minor events recorded in llie two months' news we may mention tbe return of Mr Gladstone from the Ionian Isles we believe we must say unsuccessful Hie suc cessor ha been obliged to dissolve the Legisla ture because they would not carry out the scheme of reform propouuded by the English statesman lhe islander seem now to hove fallen under the rule of a King Stork though certainly Mr Gladstone was anything but King Log The King of N'aplee i dangerously ill and indeed ia not expected to recover Hu son the Duke orCalabria administer the affair of hi kingdom a Regent Some of the victim of his tyranny including Poerio are now on English soil They were shipped fur America but when out to Ma they compelled (and very geitle compulsion seems to have sufficed for the houtst Yankee) the shipmaster to steer for the coast of Ireland and land them at Cork In England the noble exites were enthusiasti cally teceived and all classes of the people vied with each other in efforts to promote their comfort The interminable war in Circassia again come into notice A Russian army is

EUROPEAN NEWS TO MARCH 18 THE NEWS ROM EUROPE It is a somewhat remarkable cireumftanee that the last mail under tbe old contract and the first mail under the new contract bare arrived eimultaneoualy Tire length of time i during which the ebruary mail was detained in Melbourne and the protraction of the paa I sage of tbe Benin have together produced thia result but in point of actual speed of transit to Australia th new system doe not at the outsd manifest much superiority over tbe old one In South Australia however we have reason to liail tbe change as a marked improvement for if tbe Benares had followed the course of the Oneida we might have been kept waiting for our English March cor respondence some nine or ten days longer Tire circ*mstance which have retarded tbe passage of tire Benaree will be found detailed a fully as we are acquainted with them in another portion of our issue Having two new before us it is impossible that we can supply our readers with anything like a complete digest of the whole at once All can do is to mention the most important facts rrereving the subordinate matter for further relation This we have eodcavoured to a compliah and in our lett'r and our selections from English contemorarie our readers will find almost every feet of inte rest contained in lhe two months' budget On this occasion we have a twofold complaint to make against the telegraph It has ains of omission and commission to answer for It informed iu falsely that the Derby Ministry liad fallen and it omitted the item of iutelligence ao inUnsting to the fairer portion of the community that the Prince rederick William had preeen'ed Prussia with a royal son This event took place on tire 27 ih January and on tbe 5ih March the infant Prince was baptised and received tbe name of rederick William Victor Albert There are many persona who acarcely deem themselves to have reached lhe prune of life who can clearly recollect tbe accession of Queen Victoria then a mere girl herself and now tbe progress of eveula has invested her with lhe venerable tide of grandmother It i needless to aay that the event was hsilad with great satisfaction in England where it was known iu six minute after its occurrence and that it is regarded by thoughtful men aa favourable to the consolidation of constitu tional liberty in Europe It is said that a matrimonial alliance between tbe Prince of Wale and another acion of tbe blood royal of Prussia is in contemplation and also that the Princess Alice is shortly to be betrothed to a Prince of the Netherlands In connection with these personal ma' ten we may mention that Lady Mac Donnell haa arrived safely inEnglaud fact which will be learned with tire liveliest pleasure here Her Majesty opened Parliament on the 3rd ebruary and the speech which she delivered on that occasion is above the average standard of that class of compositions We would call particular attention to tbe pro mise it contain of a measure fur enabling tire owner 'of land in England to obtain for them scire an indefeasible title to their estates and intercata and for registering such title with aimplicity and We are glad to aay that the promise thus made has been fulliliml and that tire measure at tbe data of our latest papers wa making steady and safe progreae through Committee in the Commons It scarcely possible that it could be tossed during the session because the Derby Reform Bill would certainly lead to a disorganixalioii of Parliamentary business either by causing the overthrow of lhe Cabinet or a dis solution of tbe Parliament But there can be do doubt that th question commanding as it doe a majority in the existing House of Commons would lose nothing from tire trans ference of its consideration to a still more liberal House The Government measure entitled Tire Title to Landed Estate Another measure introduced by the Derby Government met with a less fortunate we mean their Church Rate Bill It wu not intended to abolish but merely to modify tire operation of that unjust imposition and the House of Coinuona would not have it It wu rejected on the motion for the second reading while Sir John Bill for the total abolition of church rates was carried by a majority of 2)2 to 1G8 On another question of Ministerial policy the conduct pursued in relation to the Charles ct George's affair the Government received a severe handling in both House of Parliament but no decisive vote wu recorded in either But the great measure of the session wu the Reform Bill which in all probability hu ere tin time plunged the country into tbe turmoil of a general election The Bill hu pleased no party Some member of tbe Ministry have acceded from the Cabinet on account of tbeir dislike to it provisions The Whigs and the Radicals in Parliament alike denounce it even its author hu been compelled to avow ao in tention at altering some of it provisions while out of door it has aroused a perfect storm of reprehension Tire grounds of the opposition to tbe meuure may be understood from the following resolution adopted by a large meet ing of the City of London electors held in the GuildWl: Thal te Mora Bill sabolltod by ths
