THE VICTORIAN CRISIS, London, March 21. An official despatch respecting the constitutional conflict in Victoria, has been published. It shows that the Governor's action throughout was supported by the Colonial Office. The Times says it is clear that Lord Carnarvon's September telegram, advising Governor Bowen to follow the advice of his Ministers was dictated by ignorance at Home. It is a material fai*t that this telegram shaped the whole of the Governor's subsequent conduct. The Times declares that the question raised in Victoria must be decided by the Imperial Parliament, for the relief of other Colonial Governors. In replying to Earl Kiraherley, Lord Carnarvon said he had a telegram from Governor Bowen,\dated 15fch, stating that the compromise was unsettled, but that the money was legally available for carrying on the Government to the end of June.
