Londox, March 22. In the House of Commons last evening there was under consideration a motion requiring that the electoral franchise of England, Scotland, aud Ireland should be equalised. The motion, which was introduced by Mv A. A. Arnold, one of the Libeial members for Salford, was supported by Mr Gladstone, and the House signified its indirect approval of the proposal, though no definite decision was come to on Mr Arnold's motion. It has now been proved that the cargo of frozen meat and butter was badly shipped at Melbourne on board the Protos, and that the very inferior condition of the same on arrival is attributable to this cause.
Cape Town, March 22. Telegrams are to hand from the Transvaal announcing that the native tribes in the south-west are now in open rebellion against the Boers, and that a severe engagement has been fought in the district. The latter were defeated with considerable loss. The whole of the SouthVt est District is now the scene of frequent encounters between the natives and the Boers.
