[special to press association. ] London, September 1, M. de Freycinet has informed Lord Lyons that the depot tation of criminals will continue unless the French terms are accepted. Sir Graham Berry has written a letter on the subject, in which he states that convictism and the New Hebrides are separate questions, and if the recidiviste scheme is continued the colonies will resort to exclusion. It is reported that Bishop Moorhonse is endeavoring to persuade Bishop Pearson, of Newcastle, to accept the vicirage of Blackburn. Mr R. H. Want, solicitor in London for New South Wales, states that the English Government is prepared to subsidise a Pacific cable if the colonies grant a subvention for its construction.
