Archbishop Coolers Successor. London, September 3.—it is announced that the Pope will next week nominate a successor to the late Dr. Goold as Archbishop of Melbourne^ Tho New Hebrides. London, September 3. — Sir Graham Berry, Agent-General for Victoria, has written to Mr. Edward Stanhope, British Sceretary of Stato for the Colonies, requesting him to remind M. do Freyciuet, the French Minister, that in the event of his policy of sending recidivistes to Pacific Islands being persisted in, the Australian colonies would be certain to pass laws which would, in all probability, operate harshly, in order to prevent the influx of French criminals Sir Graham Berry insists that tho New Hebrides and the recidivistes questions are totally distinct, and that there is no justification [for tho refusal of the French Premier to re-consider his decision to continue sending convicts to New Caledonia because of the opposition of the colonies to the cession to France of the Now Hebrides. Russia and Germany. London, September 3. — M De Giers, Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, has left St. Petersburg for Berlin for the purpose, it is believed, of conferring with Prince Bismarck relative to the present situation with regard to the Bulgarian question. Somo of the English press comments relative to the Russian conp d'etat are strongly condemnatory of tho Czar. Tho German semi official journals repudiate any obligation on the part of Germany to interfere with the action of Russia in Bulgaria, or to make any effort to prevent a Russian advance upon Constantinople Somo of tho German newspapers state that if any protest [was made against the action of Russia they would be certain to provoke war. The Hungarian loading journals vigorously denounce tho tono of the German semi official press ; and retort that, if Germany has no interest in checking a Russian advance, Austro-Hungary has no interest in aiding Germany in coercing France.
