August 2"). The prorogation of Parliament took place to-day. The speech from the throne stated that the harmony in diplomatic relations with the foreign powers continued unchanged. The scheme for reorganisation in Egypt was steadily advancing, though tho outbreak of cholera retarded' tho work of carrying the proposed measures into effect during the temporary occupation of tho Khedive's dominions by British troops. Parleying with France was now proceeding in a spirit of friendship regarding recent occurrences in Madagascar, and confidence was expressed that a satisfactory result was hopeful. The hopes which has been entertained regarding the settlement of Zululand had not been realized, but, while avoiding gratuitous meddling in that country, it is determined to maintain the fulfilment of engagements entered into, and to secure the border of Natal from aggression. Tho working of tho Transvaal convention had not been satisfactory, but Ministers will shortly discuss the situation with envoys who were about to arrive from that country. The revenue proved equal to the estimates. Agriculture hns improved, and the state of trade is in sound condition. Ireland has become Letter. Tho Lund Act -was in wide operation, and the anti-rent agitation has been broken. Agrarian outrages have decreased, and tho Murder Society has been checked.
Latest intelligence from Madagascar announces that the British consul has been reinstated at Tamatave, and has received due recognition at the hands of the French authorities.
News has been received from Mauritius that Mr Shaw, the British missionary who was arrested at Tamatave and detained on board a French man-of-war, has been discharged from custody at the Island of Reunion.
Tho homeward mails via San Francisco, which left Auckland on July 17th, wore delivered in London to-day.
At yesterday's and to-day's wool sales 23,000 bales were catalogued. The market is rather firmer, and a good demand is experienced.
