In a statement in the House of Lords today, Lord Northbrook also announced that Government proposed to spend £5,51)0,000 during the next five years in building and equipping cruisers, and that this sum would be required in addition to the proposed expenditure upon ironclads and harbor defences. In the House of Commons to-day the Hon, Evelyn Ashley stated, in reply to a question, that an amended Draft Bill for constituting a Federal Council for the Australasian colonies would be transmitted to the colonies this week, and Government hoped to be able to lay despatches on the subject before Parliament before the prorogation of the present session. Capetown, December 3. Mr. Uppington, Premier, addressed a public meeting last night, in which he expressed himself as siding with the Dutch party.

The Premier’s speech caused great public indignation, and considerable excitement prevails throughout the Colony.
