(Age Specials, j London, November 3.
The House of Commons yesterday, by a majority of 19 votes, rejected the motion for an inquiry into the existing depression of trade and agriculture in Grreat Britain. During the debate, Mr Childers deprecated any resort to protection, and declared the adoption of a British Zollverein to be impossible. The Times this morning contains an article upon the proposed federation of the Australian colonies and the action of New South Wales. It eulogises the course pursued by New South Wales, believing that any federation movement at the present time is premature, and that the powers to be conferred by the proposed Federal Council are excessive.
The municipal elections throughout Great Britian have resulted in the return of a majority of Liberal candidates.
The distress which at present prevails in the iron and shipping trades in Holland is said to be greater than for many years past.
