AN OUTRAGEOUS PROPOSAL. (Per PresH Association.) Melbourne , December, 24. Speaking in the Assembly, Mr Prendergast, one of fche Labour members, said it would do no barm to tbe colony to bave a little repudiation ; in brief, to take tbe deficiency in its finances out of English bondholders, instead of at the expense of the people of Victoria.

In connection with the alleged salting of tbo Angipena iniue, a miner named Rogers was charged with fraudulently representing to the promoters that certain stone at the mint! contained gold.
