AUSTRALIAN.
(Per Albion.) Melbourne, May 1 6 The Siarn, with the Suez mail, arrived at King George's Sound at 3 p.m. on the 14th nstant. Messrs Berry and Lalor visited Everton, when the former stated it was the intention of the Government to introduce such measures of reform as would provide for the peace and safety of the people. Mr Lalor said there were only three modes of reform of the constitution. One by consent of the Upper House, which the Government did not expect to get, because the reforms about to be proposed were not likely to be agreeakle to those gentlemen. Another was to appeal o the Imperial Parliament to amend the constitution, and he believed that would be the proper course, because there was only a third course which the Government did not contemplate at all and that was by mere resolution He had no iear but that the Parliament of England when they saw how perfectly unworkable our constitution had become by its wrongful interpretation by the Legislative Council, would give us a remedy which would prevent any future deadlocks or miseries and misfortunes to civil servants and the people. The Government Btill adhere to their intention of holding an International Exhibition.
