THE CRISIS IN NEW SOUTH WALES.

DEFEAT OP PAKKES. (PKB PBKSS ASSOCIATION.— COPYRIGHT.) (Reoelved May 21, 10.30 a.iv.) SYDNEY, Friday, In the Legislative Assembly the debate on the censure motion and the amendments was continued until half an hour after midnight, when Mr Sobey's amendment to refet the fiscal issne to a referendum warn negatived by 74 to 25. A division was then taken on Parked original motion of censure, which was rejected by 67 to 34. The Sydney Morntng Herald, referring to the decisions, rays : — " We have now an end of an episode in polltioal life of the country which none of its promoters had ever reason to be proud, and the question has ended in the overwhelming defeat of the unholy coalition. Government, it s'aye, is in a stronger position than evet before, and however badly some prominent repntatlons may have been suffered to ohlpwreck Parliament 1 , the latter as a whole stood the test in a way which will increase the estimate held of it in- the mind of the eonntty. The Daily Tele graph says:— '-For onoe the Protection' iata have been too clover for Parkea, whose old political band has lost its conning, and in manoeuvring for place even Dibbs hopelessly out-generalled him. It says they' have yoked Parkes to a DOggad oar in provincial tarlffism, whloh Us most deplorable muddle for him to end his long political career in. Had Parket been faithful to his own principles and patty in this miserable baatnew, as the Dlbbltes had beea to theirs, the Telegraph says we should never been pained to Beo him ia the position wbicb he now occupies.
