CABLE MESSAGES.
[Reuter’s Telegrams.]
LONDON.
May 2.
Berry sails to-morrow. Pearson remains. Berry is bearer of despatches from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, regretting 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 means to monise the two Chambers would be to make both Council and Assembly dissoluble. The Chambers should act like the British Parliament. The Council should yield to public opinion, in order to avoid a conflict. Bills of Supply should be limited to provisions analogous to English Bills. The Council should claim no other right in dealing with them than the House of Lords possesses. The Daily News publishes a paragraph stating that the Prince of Wales will visit the Melbourne Exhibition.
