(By Electric Telegraph—Coptrioht.] (PER IMI ED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Received December 23, at 11 a.m.] Stdxey, December 23. A member of a great diamond firm in Amsterdam has been attracted here in connection with the Bingera field. He is now engaged in examining the various claims and it is believed his investigations will result in the introduction of capital and efficient expert knowledge to work the field. Melbocrsb, December 23. Major-General Tutloch, Commander of the Victoria military forces, says that the refusal of the Gladstone Government to strengthen the British navy is inimical to the interests of Australia, and in the event of war in its present position the navy would be unable to protect the trade routes of colonial commerce. In General Tulloch's opinion the federation of the defences of the colonies should be undertaken forthwith as his acquaintance with the military value of each colony leads him to think that if attacked they could not help each other. Hobakt, December 23. At the caucus of the Opposition it was claimed that the party had 21 suporters, bat these figures are doubtful. It is almost certain when the House meets a vote of want of confidence in the Government will be moved.
