AUSTRALIAN.
Adelaide, October 25. It has been decided to have an independent mail service of thirty-six days, at a cost of £40,000. This is a complete checkmate to Victoria for her breach of faith. Melbot/bne, October 25.
There is serious fighting with the natives of New Gruinea, and at Moresby it was reported that the war schooner Conflict had some trouble on the eastern coast of New Guinea, and shelled a village. The betting is 6 to 4 against His Lordship for the Derby, 5 to 2 against Bosworth, 100 to 7 against Q-ainsborough and Nellie for the Maribyrnong Plate, 7 to 1 against Melita for the Cup, 12 to 1 against Chester. The Land Bill is of a sweeping and radical character. The dead set against squatters is increasing. A million annually is to be imposed on squatters' stock, instead of £250,000 as a land tax. Squatters will be prevented from purchasing more than a few thousand acres.
