AUSTRALIAN.
[Reuter’s Telegrams.] Adelaide, October 16. The House of Assembly have passed a Bill providing for the payment of members, but it is considered certain that the measure will be rejected by the Council. Melbourne, October 16. Mr. Murray Smith, the Agent-General in London, has telegraphed to Mr. Service, stating it is rumored England and Germany have concluded a convention respecting the Pacific Islands. Mr. Smith advises that the Colonies should make a united protest against any convention until their consent has been given. Mr. Service is, it is understood, communicating with the other Colonies as to the course to pursue. Sydney, October 17. The New South Wales Government, in reply to Mr. Service, has declined to join in a protest to the Imperial Government against the arrangement with Germany as to the Pacific annexation, on the ground that it would be considered impertinent for the colonies to interfere in the foreign policy of England.
