CABLB SUMMARY.
(dv elkctbic tklkohaph.—uoi'ntroHT.) London', July 22. The Times considers thut the situation in Melbourne is extraordinary. Tli '■ spectacle o£ a congested population in u new country is without parallel, and it will be difficult to meet the demands of the unemployed. Lnnil .selling has been overdone, and a very .similar stuto af things prevails in Sydney, Adelaide, aud Brisbane. The Times is not over sanguine that the attractions of village settleinont will overweight the influence of protection and the Public Works system, and the excitement of city life, which draws rural labourers to the Australian cities. Cable intelligence from Batuvia confirms the disaster at Sunguir Island. The whole north-west portion of the island waa entirely destroyed, and two thousand natives killed. Major Pollock, of the 3rd Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, won the Queen's prize a ,, . Bislsy with a score of 227. Ho also won a silver medal as the highest scorer in the second stage.
