The Ministers will not accept six months' supply notwithstanding the inconvenience to Civil servants whose salaries are unpaid, but the general impression is that they must yield. Brisbane. ihe schooner Annie has arrived at Cook Town, and reports matters being in a very disturbed state in eastern New Guinea. The schooner was driven away from the Leocide Group by the natives, and the mission station there was besieged but the natives retreated without killing the teacher.
