AUSTRALIAN.

(from opr own correspondent.) SYDNEY, Saturday. Laycook has met with an accident by which his leg has been broken, and he has consequently found it necessary to terminate the negotiations which were proceeding for a match with Hanlon. " MELBOURNE, Saturday. The Agent General in London telegraphs to Mr Service that the colonial office has replied to the joint letter of the colonial Agent-General on the subject of the proposed annexations in the Pacific. The reply is deemed unsatisfactory. Lord Derby admits the care and ability displayed in the preparation of the histronical statement which was submitted to the consideration of Sir A. Gordon and the Admiralty. Lord Derby doubts whether so much ignorance prevails in Australia regarding the claims of foreign Sowers as the Agent-General apprehends, amoa and Tonga have been long recognised as independent, and, moreover, France since 1878, has respected the independence of New Hebrides, though the position of the latter in relation to foreign powers cannot be Referring* to Solomon Islands, Lord Derby expresses his opinion that colo- » nial governments had hardly considered the responsibility attaching to their assumption, and the Imperial Government is not satisfied that annexation is necessary or justifiable. His Lordship says that he has nothing to add concerning New Guinea, and conby stating that if the Colonial Governments do desire to bear tne cost of the measures proposed in the memorandum of the Agents-General, and will confer and make proposals concerning the other islands not subject to the Treaty, such proposals will receive the attention of the English Government.
