MELBOURNE, June 21,

The motion of Mr Francis, objecting to the proposed remission of taxation, which was withdrawn last night, will be brought on in the Assembly to-day, when the House goes into committee of ways and means. Sir Bryan O'Loghlen has decided not to treat the motion as one expressing a want of confidence in the Government, and a compromise has thus been effected. Mr Berry and his followers are incensed at the arrangement come to, and threaten to support the Government against Mr Francis' party. In connection with the proposed remissions, in the course of the debate last night Sir Charles .McMahon warmly denounced the action of Ministers during the crisis.
