VICTORIA.
Melbourne, Jaly 28. Information has been received that the disease from which Jones, one of the Australian cricket team, is suffering is smallpox, and that its true nature was kept quiet so as to prevent the detention of the remainder of the team. Communications have passed between the Premier and the other colonial ..Governments regarding the survey of | the Pacific cable route. The Admiralty has consented to employ a second vessel, but even then the work will not be completed m two years, and the Hon Mr Gillies is anxious that a third ship should be added to the squadron. Victoria is willing to share the cost with Great Britain, Canada, and other colonies. The exhibition is still m a state of great confusion, and it seems impossible for the majority of the courts to be got m readiness by the opening day. The German, French, and Austrian promise to be the most picturesque divisions of the Exhibition. The New Zealand art collection has been arranged with con* siderable skill, but private exhibits are Dot anything like ready.
