The English newspapers have taken up the, discussion of the politick situation m Victoria, and state that it demands the immediate attention of England, owing to tlje deadlock and the consequent evasions pf the law to which it had given rise. They speak highly of the conduct of the Uppar House, while tho conduct of the Governor, in his latest expedient of dissolving the Legislative Assembly, after the Council had rejected the Appropriation Bill, is condemned. It is als.o stated in some quarters that the Ministeria.l speeches iiu dicated revolution agaiustthe constitution, and the Governor's endeavors to restore peace are not thought favorably of. The opinion is that he is led top much by the Ministry- The Darling grant is considered a blunder in England. The latest intelligence as to the postal service is more favorable as regards the arrangements of the dates for Australian mails than is shown by the last time-table. The outward mads for China and Australia leave days later than the dates in the time-table. The. homeward Australian mails will leave one day earlier. The first outward mail to Australia on the new plan will not leave Southampton till the 21st March. The first homeward mail from Australia will leave Sydney on the 28th March, thus avoiding the delay of the steamer at Ceylon, and shortening the intervals for replies between London and Australia.
