INTERCOLONIAL.
Melbourne, Tuesday. There are 51 entries for the Melbourne Cup, and 25 for the champion race, including Mata and Catnballo. Sailed: Te Anau, for Bluff. Wednesday. The party of police which left Benalla yesterday has arrived at Beechworth, but has seen nothing of the Kellya. The debate on the Reform Bill in the Legislative Assembly still continues. Sydney, Wednesday. News has been received via the Solomon Islands that the foreign immigrants to New Ireland are in great distress and suffering from fever and ague, from which four deaths have already resulted. Forty-fire of the party have removed to the Duke of York Island. Six weeks after the party landed on New Ireland only three were capable of exertion. The rest were prostrated with fever s and severe ulcers peculiar to the island. They possessed no quinine with which to allay their sufferings, and their supplies of provisions, too, were quite insufficient, the Chandaganore having sailed suddenly after the dispute as to the leader of the party on Bhore, and left them without sufficient food.
