REUTER’S TELEGRAMS.
[new ZEALAND PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
LATEST EUROPEAN NEWS,
London, May 2. Berry sails to-morrow, and Pearson remains. Berry is the bearer of despatches from the Secretary of State for the Colonies regretting the want of greater spirit of accommodation on both sides. He rejects Berry’s proposals to amend the Constitution by Imperial legislation, since only one extreme emergency has arisen to justify such measures. The readiest measure to harmonise the two Chambers would be to make both Council and Assembly dissoluble. The Chambers should act like the British Parliament, and the Council should yield to the public 0| .inion in order to avoid a conflict. Bills of Supply should be limited to provisions analagous to Engli-h Bills. The Council should claim no other right in dealing with them than the House of Lords possesses.
The Daily News publishes a paragraph staling that the Prince of Wales will visit the Melbourne Exhibition.
