Melboubme, July 25.
In the Legislative Council Sir Charles Sladen's Reform Bill passed the second reading. The Postmaster-General supported the bill, with the following amendment :—omission of the plurality of votes, and the addition of the division of provinces. He said he differed from his colleagues on the subject of reform; but, if his conduct was likely to embarrass them, he would resign his portfolio. In the Assembly, the debate on the re-purchase of the Hobson Bay Railway lasted till after midnight, when the purchase was affirmed by 52 to 9. Probably a loan for the purpose .will be immediately placed on the London Market. Sydney, July 25. The Government have decided that the new loan shall only be a million and a-half. The, barque James Service, bound to Melbourne from Calcutta, with a cargo of castor oil, pite, and sacks, has been totally wrecked on the Murray Reef, Western Australia.
