MELBOURNE.
June 19.—Mr Vogel's despatch to Mr Francis re the mail service is confidential, and its contents are unknown. It is believed to contain counter-proposals. Despatches go from Mr Francis to Mr Yogel by this mail re the Suez service. No concession on the original proposal need be looked for from Mr Francis. A want of cenfidence motion is tabled against Ministers on their mining policy. A Bum will be-placed on the Estimates for subsidising the cable, and probably for free press messages. A motion is to be tabled by a private member, who is a supporter of the Government, to this effect. Godwin, bank clerk, has been sentenced to seven years' imprisonment with hard labor oh each count. Flour, silk-dressed, £14 5s to £14 10s; oats firm, notwithstanding the large imports; prices rule at 4s 9d to 5s 6d; wheat 6s 8d to 63 lOd.
