Australian Politics.
(Per Press Association.) Sydney, June 24. The Cabinet held a protracted sitting to-day, and discussed the situation. It is understood that a decision was arrived at, but it will not be disclosed till the Assembly meets to-morrow. Sir Henry Parkes, in an interview, strongly opposed dissolution, and said the Premier would be an idiot to dissolve with such a majority at his back. Sir Henry Parkes believes that if an appeal is made to the country the Government will be defeated. Bumours are current that an independent member of the Council will give notice of a bill on Wednesday providing that future nominations to the Council shall be limited to seven year?, with intervals of two years before members can be nominated for the second time. The maximum number of members will be fixed at 70. The Bill will also provide that after any measure has been twice sent up by the Assembly and rejected for two consecutive sessions by the Council, it shall, on the third presentation be passed without further opposition by the Council.
