THE COLONIES AND ENGLAND.
SIR THOMAS McILWRAITH ON SEPARATION. [PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Sydney, August 6. Replying to a deputation from the Australian National Association, Sir Thos. Mcllwraith, Premier of Queensland, who is visiting Sydney, said the Association did not advocate immediate separation of the colonies from Great Britain, but that was a step which must come sooner or later. When separation was accomplished, a common kinship and common language would still bind them to the mother country. What they desired now was that Australia should have the right to make its own aws, and repeal those which had become obsolete. The Queensland National Association, he said, now numbers over three thousand members.
