AUSTRALIAN.
[Reuter’s Telegrams] . Melbourne. December 3. Mr. Booth, the Temperance reformer, has decided to visit Auckland in January, and will open his mission in New Zealand with a series of addresses there. December 4. The Agent General in London has telegraphed to Government that Earl Derby, in the House of Lords, denied that the Imperial Government were hesitating to introduce an enabling Bill, and that it has no wish to withdraw from its pledge, and is sanguine the measure will pass without opposition. His lordship added, that he expected to receive in the spring replies from the Colonies to the amendments proposed in the draft Enabling Bill, and explained iliac the delay which was taking place would enable New Zealand and New South Wales to reconsider their position, although the unanimity of the Colonies in the matter was unnecessary (sic).
