WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
London, May 4. In the House of Commons last night Sir U. Campbell, member for Kirkcaldy, in order to discuss the "Western Australian land question, moved the re. duction of the salary of Lord Knutsford, flecrntary of State for the Colonies, by £IOOO. During the debate on the qaestiou a strong opinion was expressed that Lord Knutsford ought to provide safeguards in the interests of emigrants before conceding responsible government to Wostern Australia. It was asserted that assent to the Enabling RM should be refused unless public lauds were available for selection by emigrants of the English Emigration Colonising Committee, It was stated that it was intended to make an exiensive deportation to that colony. After further discussion tho motion for the reduction of salary was withdrawn. The Times condemns Lord Knutsford's policy respecting the disposal of the Imperial patrimony, and declares that he is preDared to yield to pressure from any quarter. The Press generally support the proposal for providing an outlet for surplus population.
