MELBOURNE
June 19. r The full dispatch, from Sir M. HicksBeach to Lord Normanby has been published. He urges the people to dismiss the idea of conferring uncontrolled supremacy on the Assembly, and .condemns the tactics adopted. He has seen no proposal which he deems free from objection, and hardly anticipates that Parliament will consent to disturb, at the instance of one Colonial House, the settlement embodied in the Constitution Act, unless the Council refuse to concur in a reasonable proposal as to future relations on fiscal matters, and persist, after an appeal to the constituencies has ratified the Assembly's proposal.
Parliament meets for the despatch of business on July 8.
Government has notified the associated Banks that they intend to withdraw the public account in six months. No reason is assigned.
The Australian and European Sank re-opens on Saturday.
