VICTORIAN PARLIAMENT.
The Victorian Parliament was opened to-day by Sir Henry Loch. In the Governor's speech, which was of an uneventful character, reference was made to the celebration of her Majesty's Jubilee, and the results of the Imperial Conference. Resarding the Victorian defences, it states that m a short time these would absolutely defy attack. There was reason to believe that the firm tone adopted by the Australian delegates to the Imperial Conference with regard to the New Hebrides would have great weight with the Imperial Government m arriving at a settlement of the question. A Local Commission had been appointed m connection with the Melbourne Exhibition. The contracts which recently had been concluded for the carriage of the Australian mails would secure increased speed and greater frequency at a reduced cost. Regret is expressed at the Windsor railway accident. The measures to be introduced include Bills relating to the protection of women, forestry, local government, and a Metropolitan Board of Works. A Bill would also be introduced amending the Shops and Factories Act.
