[EEDTEB’d TELEGRAMS.] MELBOURNE, June 16, The Reform Bill.
In the Legislative Assembly last night, Mr Ramsay, on behalf of the Opposition, announced that the Legislative Council was prepared to reduce the candidate’s qualification to bo provided by the Reform Bill to £IOO, and to withdraw its demand for two Ministers in the Legislative Council. It was also willing that the elections of members to the Legislative Council should take place on one day, in order to prevent plural voting. Mr Ramsay, in his speech following this intimation, strongly urged the Government to agree to another joint conference of committees of the two Houses, and to agree, if possible, to a compromise in regard to the Bill. Finally, Mr Berry stated his acceptance of the proposal, despite protests by several of his supporters and members of the corner party. The committee of the Legislative Assembly will comprise Messrs Berry, Yale, Nimmo, Bell, Ramsay, and Wrixen, and Sir Bryan O’Loughlen. It is expected that a favorable result will be arrived at by the conference;
