THE PROPOSED NEW NAME.
At yesterday's evening sitting of the Assembly a Bill authorising the name of the colony being changed to " Australia " passed the first reading on a division by 58 votes to iS. Considerable opposition to the new name is manifested both m this and'^other colonies, and the proposal has been discussed by the Victorian, South Australian, and Queensland Assemblies, the idea being generally ridiculed as an unwarrantable assumption of a federal name by a single colony. Melbourne, November 24. In the Legislative Assembly this afternoon Mr Dobson gave notice that to-morrow he will ask the Government if they will take steps to procure a joint address to the Queen from the two Houses of the Legislature protesting against the granting to any individual colony of the name " Australia."
