The Evening Post. MONDAY, JULY 10, 1865. THREE DAYS LATER NEWS FROM ENGLAND.

The ship John Duncan, from London, arrived at Auckland on the 3rd instant, after a passage of eighty-six days. She brought English papers up to the 29th March, being three days' later news than that conveyed by the last mail. The following are extracts : — The Colonial Naval Defence Bill passed through Committee in the House of Lords. In the Commons, Mr. Dillwyn move d—

" That in the opinion of thU Ilouso the present position of the Irish Church Establishment is unsatipfactorj', and calls for the early attention of Her Majesty's Government." The motion was seconded by the O'Donoghue, who called upon the Government at the out>et to state the course t'ipy contemplated taking. Sir G. Grey unhesitatingly declared that the Govrrnment did not consider it their duty to assent to the motion. A very long debate ensued. The New York correspondent of the London Standard, in his communication published to-day, discusses the prospects and probabilities of a war between England or France and the Americans when they get their own domestic affairs arranged. Un ess they find themselves, when that indefinite period arrives, too much weakened and impoverished, he thinks a foreign war will be inevitable. Taking into consideration the fact that a European war means a naval war, our correspondent proceeds to estimate the capability and resources of America for such an enterprise. The computation of their entire naval force shows the Americans to be placed in a position of decided inferiority at present, so that a vast improvement in tluir navy would be requisite to fit them to cope on any terms of equality with either France or England. The last Gazette contains the list of the new G.C.B.s and K.C.B.s. There are 13 of the former class, none of whom are lower than vice-admirals or lieutenantgenerals ; and i>7 of the kHer, including one or two rear-admirals and colonels, besides the heads of the medical and commissariat departments. There is at last, we are happy to say, some reasonable prospect of a termination to the dispute in the iron trade. A melancholy shipwreck took place on Sunday, about 15 miles off Scarborough, by which five men and two boys lost their lives.
