[reuter’s telegrams.] LONDON, May 2. Mr Berry sails to-morrow. Mr Pearson remains.
Mr Berry is the bearer of despatches from the Secretary of State for tho Colonies, regretting the want of a greater spirit of accommodation on both sides. Ho rejects Mr Berry’s proposals to amend the Constitution by Imperial Legislation, since no extreme emergency has arisen to justify such measures. The readiest means to harmonise the two Chambers would, he says, bo to make both Council and Assembly dissoluble, Tho Chambers should act like the British Parliament. The Council should yield to public opinion in order to avoid a conflict. Bills of supply should he limited to provisions analogous to those in English Bills, and the Council should claim no other right in dealing with them than the House of Lords possesses.
