AUSTRALIA.
[Special to the Mail.] Melbourne, May 17. The Secretary of State for the Colonies telegraphs to the Governor that there was no passenger or seaman aboard the Kuowsley Hall of the name of Webster when she sailed from England. It is, therefore, now conclusively proved that the letter found in a bottle at Portland was a hoax.
(from the lyttelton times.) Melbourne, May 15. The Hon Neil Black is dead. The agricultural statistics show that the wheat crops in Victoria have yielded 13£ tushels per acre. The quantity produced shows an increase of 50 per cent. The Argus in a leader in to-day's issue comments upon the gravity of the political situation in Victoria, and declares that Mr Service's task is one of extreme difficulty. The speech of Sir John O'Shanassy in the Assembly on Tuesday, which was adverse to the Government, is much discussed.
