[by electric telegraph.]
Monday, Nov. 7. Everything is very dull, awaiting arrival of mail. The return of all the Ministry is calculated with certainty, with the exception of M'Culluch at East Melbourne, who will have a close run, being opposed by the Convention and Irish party. Flour, £18 to £20. Markets unchanged. Tuesday, 6-30 p m. Nov. 8. Nicholson, Chief Secretary, returned for Sandridge by a majority of 10 to J. M'Culloch, the Treasurer, polled 1266, and Gray 960 for East Melbourne, giring M'Culloch a majority of 306. This election settles the fate of Convention, their strongest man being defeated in their stronghold. At all.other places Ministers are secure. To morrow will be a public holiday to celebrate the majority of the Prince of Wales. Great.disgust is felt at the non-arrival of tbe mail. China news to the 9th August states that Canton was quiet, not sympathising with the conquerors at Peiho. The British were taking precautions. India news to 22nd September inenticus that the army was quiet and more satisfied.
