ADELAIDE.
Mr. Boneaut has enunciated the policy of the new Government. Measures will be introduced for the establishment of intercolonial free trade, to arrange with the other colonies for a joint subsidy to the London and Australian telegraph line,. so as to reduce the cost of English telegrams from £9 to £3. Education will be free only to people unable to pay, and secular ; not compulsory except where children are too far from schools, for whose education itinerant teachers will be appointed. The Government will inaugurate a system of light railways. £50,000 are to be expended on a breakwater at Victoria Harbour, and £100,000 on immigration. 11 is proposed to borrow £2,000,000, and if unable to carry on .at least two lines of railway the Ministry would resign. In the face of a deficient revenue new taxation will be imposed. A discnssion ensued. [The telegram states that the House divided—the result being against the Government. A motion adverse to their policy must have been moved.]
