WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
Perth, (W.A.) January 26. The Government have received a despatch from Sir Henry Holland, Secretary of State for the Colonies, regarding the question of granting responsible Government to Western Australia, which has been under the consideration of the Eoglish Government for some time. The despatch states that, after going into the matter thoroughly, the Government have arrived at the conclusion that the population of the colony is too scattered to permit of responsible Government being granted, and further that the proposal to divide the colony is quite impracticable at present, owing to the small population m the northern portion of the colony, also that it is not desirable to hand over such a vast tract of territory to forty thouiand people.
