In addition to the telegram of English mail news, which we publish elsewhei'e, we give the following items from the Melbourne Argus summary : — The threatened demonstration of the Fenian Amnesty Committee has been prevented by the police. Meetings have been held in various Irish cities to demand the release of the prisoners. Several riotous disturbances have taken place in Ireland. An unfortunate case of divorce, associated with the name of the Prince of Wales, has been occasioning some amount of public scandal. The proceedings were instituted by Sir Charles Mordant, in order to annul his marriage with his wife. The plaintiff proposed to include the Prince's name among the co-respondents, on account of revelations made by the lady while in a state of temporary insanity. The Prince has assured the plaintiff uj>on his honor that there was no pretext for the statements. The Prime Minister sent for the plaintiff and told him the course he contemplated adopting was regarded by the Queen as unfriendly to royalty. Sir. Charles was thereupon induced to abandon his determination.
