PARLIAMENT.
ABOUT THE LOBBIES. (From our Special Corrcsponde t.) „ , T Weu.ixc.ton, July 17. bo lor as I can learn the principles of the Count ies Bill give satisfaction, but the Government must consent to material alterations in the details to get it through. They intend tojpronose two select (committees, one for each Island, to determine the boundar es, which are certain to undergo great amendment.
The 0, position committee lins hoen caucusing all day, hut nothing is yet lean aide of their deliberation. Their naked plan is separation, each island undertaking its share of the colonial debt and voting a certain amount for the expenses of the federal Government. With a proper management the Government have nothing to fear," thei,greatest assistants being their opponents, who cannot t gree on the vital points, I hazard the opinion that the principles of the Bill will receive the actual support of fr.rly-six members, while half-a-dozen noulittuls will be influenced by the course of tbe debate.
