The Royal Princes will leave the P. and 0. Company’s steamship Cathy at Adelaide, and make a short stay in that city before coming on to Melbourne. In the Legislative Council last night, after a further debate the various amendments to the Reform Bill made by the Assembly were rejected without division, and the House then adjourned to Wednesday next. It is generally expected that, in view of the action of the Council, the Govern* ment will abandon the Reform Bill. A caucus of Ministerialists will be held on Tuesday next to take the present position of affairs into con* sideration and decide upon a course of action.
