SPECIAL TELEGRAM.
Wbllington, Oct. 5, 9 a.m. The Ministry were defeated on the no confidence vote taken last night. Mr Yogel, the only speaker, made ari able and incisive speech. Mr Stafford said the Government would not debate, but take the division at once. Mr Yogel twitted him, and he rose to speak, but not till the Speaker had taken the voices, though not declared the result, : . ' Mr Yogel said "Too late f but the Speaker ruled otherwise, and Mr Stafford was proceeding to speak, when the Government whip, Ingles, went to him and said, "It is all light !" , Mr Stafford then said, fAs Mr Yogel wished to take a division at once, he would not baulk him." . The division was then taken. For the motion, 37 ; against, 35. Great and repeated cheers. Parata, Creighton, and Joßeph Shephard voted with Yogeli Pairs: for 1 — Tolmie and Harrison ; against —Webster and Morvyn. A dissolution is talked of, but is not probable. The belief is that many of the Government supporters would be beaten if a new election took place. Other members will come round.
