AUSTRALIA.
[KEUTKirs TKI.KCKAMS.] London, December. - ). Siu Saul Samuel, Agent-Genera! for New South Wales, had an interview to-day with Sir Henry Holland, Secretary of State for the Colonies, when the subject of re-naming New South Wales was broached by the former. Sir Henry Holland declined to express an opinion upon the subject of the proposed alteration. Sir Saul Samuel leaves for New South Wales in January next. The Times this morning has an article upon the meditated assumption of the name of “Australia” by New South Wales. The writer deals with the subject in a humorous manner, and suggests the adoption of “ Eastern Australia ” if a change of name is imperative.

[Received December 7th, 1.30 p.m.] Sydney, December 7Sir Henry Parkes, replying to other colonies on the subject of changing the name of New South Wales deals sarcastically with the objections raised, and maintains the right of this colony to the name “ Australia,” as there is no question, if adopted, the name couid not affect the other colonies.
