ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH NEWS AT BLUFF HARBOUR.

[by electric telegraph.] (From the Examiner Extra.) Nelson, July 13. The B.M.S. Bombay arrived iu Hobson’s Bay on the Gth J uly, shortly after eleven o’clock. GENERAL SUMMARY. Mr. Gladstone’s second and third resolutions in reference to the Irish Church were passed without a division. On the 7th of June, Mr. Gathorne Hardy protested on the part of the Government, and some of the Tory members protested on their own part. Mr. S. Aytoun then brought forward a resolution, declaring that when the Anglican Church in Ireland is dis-established and dis-endowed, the grant to Maynooth ought to be discontinued. A noisy debate ensued, in the course of which Mr. Bright objected to the motion. Mr. Whitbread moved an amendment, the effect of which would be to confine the resolution to a declaration that the grant to Maynooth and the reyium donum should be withdrawn. On a division, Mr. Aytoun’s resolution was negatived by 198 votes to 85. The amendment of Mr. Whitbread hav ing thus become a substantial motion, the words, “ With due regard to all existing personal interests,” were added at the instance of Mr. Gladstone. This brought up Mr. Bright, who commented with great severity, upon the parting shot of the Prime Minister. He had long deplored the condition of Ireland, which he looked

upon as a scandal. He did not charge the right hon. gentleman with deceiving the Sovereign. If ha had not changed the opinion he held twenty-five years ago, and which he said, a few weeks since, he still held, then, he feared, he had not stated that which it was his duty to state at the first interview —as any man would who placed his Sovereign in front of a great struggle like that which they were about to enter into ; and said, as the Queen held the flag against religious equality, he was guilty of high crime and misdemeanor against his Sovereign and country. Lord J. Manners said Mr. Bright had spoken against the endowment of the Homan Catholic Church.

Mr. Gladstone expressed his sorrow that Mr. Disraeli had provoked this discussion. He had never heard such language from a Prime minister before. The right honourable taunted Lord J. Manners with being ignorant of the intention of his collesigues to endow the Homan Catholic Church in Ireland.

Mi'. Disraeli appealed to the House to say whether the manner of describing audiences with the Queen had been either pompous or servile, as charged by Mr. Bright. Happily there were gentlemen on the bench where the honorable member for Birmingham was seated, and to them he would refer. He defied Mr. Bright, notwithstanding his stale invective, to substantiate charges which he had only presumed to insinuate. The resolutions were eventually brought up by the Chairman, and reported to the House. The Reform Bill for Ireland was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. A statement has appeared in the Globe, of May 20, in reference to the memorial recently presented by the Duke of Montrose, on the subject of the Australian mails—that no reply had been made to the memoxial, the matter being still under consideration. There is reason, however, to believe that if no favourable decision as to the proposed fortnightly service is early arrived at, the subject will be brought under the consideration of the House of Commons.

It is understood that the directors of the Royal Mail Company have determined that the next vessel leaving Southampton with Australian mails, viz., on the 2nd of June, shall proceed through to Ceylon [Colon 1] only stopping at one intermediate port to disperse mails for the West India Islands.

The establishment of a line of large firstclass mail steamers between the Isthmus of Panama and England has been long requii’ed, and the announcement of its being speedily commenced will be received with great satisfaction, not only by those interested in the New Zealand and Australian Colonies, but by those connected with countries on the other side of the Isthmus of Panama.

A suit has been instituted by the Hon. Lady Theresa Mary Josephine Doughty Tichborne, widow mother and next friend of Sir Henry Alfred Joseph Doughty Tiehborne, Bart., infant, against Thomas Decaster, calling himself Sir Roger P. D. Tichborne, Bait., for the purpose of obtaining an order for the appointment of receiver to take charge of the effects of Lady Henriette Pelicite Tichborne, who died in March last, intestate, was, on the 30th of April last, decided, in Yiec-Chancellor Stuart’s Court, in favour of the plaintiff. It appeared, from what was stated in Court, that every member of the Tichborne family deny the identity of the claimant of the estates, which, on the other hand, was admitted by the deceased. Lady Henrietta Pelicite Tichborne, and is supported by nearly a hundred affidavits from various individuals, many of whom either served with him in the army, or knew him as a youth in Hampshire. The Vice-Chancellor denounced the attempt to make public these affidavits as improper, and observed that if the claimant was really the person he repre--1 seated himself to be, he had only to thank lus extraordinary conduct for the difficulties he experienced in acquiring possession of his estates, and at once granted the application, by the mother of the infant baronet. His Honor animadverted strongly upon the fact that the late Lady Henrietta Pelicite Tichbourne’s property had been taken possession of; being family estates, with reference to -which the very same question of identity is in dispute between them. The Liverpool wool sales competition has been very keen, and prices were 5 per cent, higher than previous sales, the limited quantity offering, and the improved state of trade combined; have sent up prices 20 per cent, from the low rates current in the last sales.
