SYDNEY.
December 15,
In tbe Legislative Assembly last night Sir Henry Parkes, the Premier, made a lengthy statement regarding his approaching visit to England. He stated
that he undertook the same solely on account of ill-health ; but that, while in America, he would interview tbe United States Government, and endeavor to obtain free admission of Australian wools to America. All the colonial Governments, except Victoria, had authorised him to act on their behalf in this matter. Sir Henry further announced that he would, acting in concert with New Zealand, do his utmost to obtain an American contribution towards a subsidy for the San Francisco mail service. While in London he intended to rearrange the system of emigration to New South Wales. Parliament would be prorogued between February and June, and in tbe latter month he expected to return to the colony. In his absence his duties would be performed by his colleagues, and his journey would cost the colony nothing.
