AUSTRALIAN.
Sydney, Saturday.
Enthusiastic preliminary meetings were held last night at the Theatre Royal and at Barwood with reference to the verdict recently delivered in the Bulletin Libel Case. Resolutions were passed at both meetings that subscription lists be opened to indemnify the proprietors of the paper for costs of the trial which are estimated at £1200. One hundred pounds was promised at the Theatre Royal meeting, and over twenty pounds at Barwood. Large meetings are being organised to carry out the resolutions passed. Mblbouene, This day.
In the Legislative Assembly yesterday, the debate on the Reform Bill was resumed, but it was subsequently adjourned without any decision having been arrived at. The Orient steamer Potosi after leaving her anchorage for England grounded at Clark Island; and after remaining for 11 hours was got off by a tug boat and returned to her moorings. A diver is to examine her to-day, and report whether she is seaworthy or not.
