ehalf of our
interesting prisoner has requested the Government to allow a
commission, consisting of the medical superintendents at Broadmore,
Hanwell and Colney Hatch, with six other English experts in insanity,
to come out to Australia to inquire into the mental condition of
the prisoner. A telegram has also been despatched to Lord SALISBURY
requesting that the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF ENGLAND and an Old Bailey
Jury may be sent out to try the case; otherwise there will be "no
chance of justice being done." The British PREMIER's reply has not yet
been received. It is believed that he is consulting Mr. GOSCHEN about
the probable cost of such a step.

MELBOURNE. _Latest_.--Through the instrumentality of an Official
connected with the prison, I am enabled to send you some important
information concerning our prisoner which you may take as absolutely
authentic. His breakfast this morning consisted of buttered toast,
coffee, and poached eggs. He complained that the latter were not
new-laid, and became very excited. It has also transpired that he is
strangely in favour of Imperial Federation, and he has declared to his
gaolers that "The friendship between England and her Colonies ought
to be cemented." This expression of opinion has created a profound
sensation.

THE POINT OF VIEW.

(_AS PRIVATE TOMMY ATKINS PUTS IT TO HIS COMRADE BILL._)

[In the Report of Lord WANTAGE's Committee, it appears that
our Home Army costs seventeen and a-half millions per annum.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE doubts if we could rapidly mobilise one
Army Corps. Sir EVELYN WOOD holds half the men under him at
Aldershot are not equal to doing a day's service, even in
England. The Duke of CONNAUGHT says half the battalions under
his command are no good for service, cannot even carry their
kits, and are not fit to march. Lord WOLSELEY, it is stated,
compares the British Army to a "squeezed lemon."]

"Squeezed lemon!" _That's_ encouraging!
