SYDNEY.
November 9. In the Legislative Assembly last night the adjourned debate on the report of the Royal Commissioner on the Milburn Creek mine affair was resumed. In the course of tbe discussion Sir Henry Parkes, the Premier, moved that Mr E. A. Baker, the lale Minister of Mines, who was found by the report to have appropriated a portion of the compensation money, was unworthy of confidence, and should be expelled from the House. The motion, after some discussion, was carried by a large majority, the voting being 71 to 2. Mr Baker made a lengthy speech in his own defence, and the debate was finally adjourned to Thursday next, in order tbat the position of Mr Garrett, the member for Campden, in connection with the enquiry might be taken into consideratiou. Afresh case of small-pox in the city (in Argyle street) was reported .to the Health Board yesterday.
