MelboUenb, April 13.
Beforo the breaking up of the Conference of Committees of the two Houses on^the Reform Bill yesterday, an acrimonious bebate took place. Mr Berry insisted upon maintaining the Assembly's terms. Sir Charles Sladen said the Council's ultimatum only had been come to after long deliberation, and any departure from the sume was not likely to take place now. He denied that the Council would ha7o accepted Mr Service's Reform Conference. He said that after three sittings it had failed to bring about an understanding between the two Houses. The proceedings would be printed, and would show that the Assembly had been justified in the course it had followed. He added that it was still open to the Council to give the Eeform Bill f urthei consideration during the fortnight's adjournment. Mr Murray Smith said he was satisfied in maintaining that liberal concessions should be made to the Council. It is understood that the debate on the second reading of the Reform Bill wil take place in the Legislative Counoil when the House meets after the Easter recess-
