The “ Home News” says that nows of the facts of the dispute upon the Sydney ground, in which Lord Harris and the English Eleven were somewhat unceremoniously hustled by roughs, have been received with dissatisfaction and some indignation in England. The cordial reception given to the English cricketers by the best part cf Australian society, leaves little doubts at all but that right thinking people out there will deplore the incident as much as we do at home. It lioma that the mob in Sydney is very masttr i'ul, and that their blood is easily stirred, and this is plainly evinced from the accounts given of similar disturbances. Such a disturbance would have been impossible in England, whore the ring, notwithstanding its composition, is kept well under control. In the debate on Dilke’s motion for a vote of censure on the Government for commencing the war without imperative necessity or adequate preparation, Diike said that Oetewayo always desired peace, but that Sir Bartle Frero had determined on annexation, and had looked out for a cause of quarrel. Sir A. Gordon, seconded by Sir M. Hicks Beach, read an opinion on Oetewayo given by Lord Blatchford. He said that the Government had censured Sir Bartle Erere, but still retained confidence in him, and that to recall him would weaken the hands of the Government. Sir Eobert Peel charged Sir Bartle Frere with exceeding his instructions, and Lord Chelmsford with incapacity. On his head rested the blood at Isandula. Colonel Stanley contended that Lord Chelmsford’s force was insufficient. The disaster at Isandula was owing to neglect of the General’s orders, Mr Courtney contended that Lord Chelmsford should be recalled.

It included the liberty of the press, the right of public meeting, an income tax, free trade, separation of Church and State, secular education, and the freedom of clerical students from conscription. The Gorman tariff debate commenced in the Reichstag on May 2nd. Prince Bismarck declared that it was necessary to make the Empire financially independent, and to remove the inequality as to the amounts contributed by the various states to meet the expenditure of the Empire. He believed that indirect taxes were the kind most easily borne, and in proof of this view, pointed to the cases of Russia and France, and to the burdens of landed property in those countries. In Germany the production of ocra went on more rapidly than its importation. Germany had become a refuge for the reception of the over-production of foreign countries, and required moderately protective duties. Since the great lowering of the tariff she had been bleeding to death. The question was one, he said, altogether apart from party feeling. The removal of uncertainty in regard to the commercial policy was a paramount necessity. It would be better to reject the Bill promptly than to allow it to drag on. In the debate on the Bth, Herr Windhorst, the Ultramontane lead r, spoke in favor of protection. A scene occurred between Bismarck and Herr Lasher, in which the latter declared the figures quoted by the Chancoll ir as untrustworthy. The Government is certain of a majority of twenty on the Tariff Bill, even if all the Liberals oppose it. A large metal sheeting manufactnry has been removed from Eebl to Nancy to escape the new German customs tariff. On the other hand, the mining companies and iron works seem to anticipate a very favorable effect from the new tariff, and there is consequently heavy speculation in their shares. Germany will give a large sum to further the interests of its. exhibitors at the Sydney Exposition, A disruption in the National Liberty party is imminent on account of the certain success of the Tariff Bill. The “ Precursor ” says that Bismarck insists on establishing taxes upon colonial produce coming from European bonded warehouses, with a view of ridding Gorman ports of foreign competition. He hopes that the large firms in Antwerp and Holland will establish themselves in Bremen and Hamburg. Several influential persons in the Hansiatic towns have promised to support Bismarck’s project, and have started a railway direct from Bremen to Frankfort,

Tho recent firo at Orenburg is attributed to carelessness. Nino hundred and forty-nine dwellings were burned, together with ono mosque, four mill?, 292 shop», and nearly all the markets and public buildings. At St. Petersburg, in tho evening, nobody is at liberty to show himself in the streets without a certificate upon which must be written and attested tho place from which bearer is going The intentions of the Nihilists it is bel eved is to keep the police in a state of constant excitement, and at last either to tire them out or to lull them to sleep with the idea that tho danger has been exaggerated. They also reckon on the harsh measures and arrests producing discontent among many pe®ple, who, when the time has come for a grand attack on tho Government, would join tho revolutionists. During tho night, between Friday and Saturday, seditious placards were found stuck up in the vicinity of tho theatres and at the corners of the busiest streets, and although tho city police and detectives hurried up and tore down the manifestos, they nevertheless appeared as new as though conjured forth from tho walls by enchantment. Passers by stopped to read the Bill, and in this one night the police arrreatod upwards of 150 persons. Since the attempt on the life of the Czar, troops have been hold in readiness day and night. In every regiment two companies were in marching order, equipped with ball and cartridge and all other accessories requisite for active operations. They are kept constantly under arms, and batteries are ready with the horses harnessed. A squadron in every cavalry regiment stands in constant readiness to mount, and day and night divisions of Cossacks patrol tho streets. Oa the 16th a peasant was arrested, in whose pockets were found dispositions for tho revolutionary troops. According to this document, active operations were to commence on the night between the 16th and 17th. The Government instantly made tho most extensive preparations for defence. The Grand Duke Nicholas took up his quarters with his entire staff in the offices of the general staff, opposite tho Winter Palace, In the riding school of the Guards a regiment of Hussars was quartered, while the barracks of tho Benloff and Precobragcnski regiments were crammed full of troops, and the whole of the Artillery Guards received orders to hold itself in readiness for immediate action. Tho troops continued several days and nights in the places ass'gned them, but the revolution did not break out, and probably tho whole story of intended outbreak was an intentional mystification. Tho Kieff correspondent of a St. Peterburgh journal gives tho following account of an oaitbroak among tho political prisoners and persons under arrest in Kieff prison;—lt was resolved some timp ago to

tunnel under the walls and escape. The scheme was betrayed by one of the conspirators. The aujhorities allowed the prisoners to continue the esc ovations and when the tunnel was completed and the prisoners had entered it one after another, intending to come up through the opening beyond the prison precincts, the soldiers, previously posted at the opening, shot the escaping prisoners as they came up. When the bulk of the prisoners, terrified by the noise of the firing, stopped and remained in the tunnel, the soldiers were sent in from behind, and the unfortunate wretches, caught between two fire?, were all shot down. The proceeding seemed to give the officials much amusement, and the director of the Kieff prison was praised and decorated for having acted with such cleverness and decision. The correspondent also declares that out of 500 prisoners detained in the prison 200 died within four months.
