It la understood that the portion of the ■Htlng of the Ooafarenoe oondaoted with olosed doors yesterday waa devoted to the consideration of the portion of Kow'Zsa land In relation to the other ooioniea. The New Zealand representatives, whilst UDwllllngto aommlt the ooJony to federa tlon, orgpd that th* colony should be keprwemed at the convention, end that the baste of federation ahould ba aaoh as would permit; Now Zealand and.

That the members of the Conference take such itf p3 ac may be receesary to inuueo the legislatures of the respective colonies to appoint delegates to the National Con vention empowered to oontider and report on sn adequate ache mo of fe taral conttitu tion. S. Th» Convention ehoald coce.'et of Mven members from each o£ the eelf govetning c loniee, and lour members from each of the Orown colon^s.

The " Sydney Morning Herald" says that the attitude which New Zetland has assumed ig easily understood. Gapt, . Russell's was a sympathetic speech, in which the advantages of federation were recognised. Ho pointed out that New Zealand had questions of her, own which obliged her to adopt a waiting policy, but while she felt it advisable to stand out for the present, she would be glad to have the door left open for her admittance at some future time. . 'the hesitation on the part of New Zealand is readily understood, and if she stands aloof for the present, no exception can be taken to her action ; but with South Australia it is somewhat different. A selfish motive underlies that colony's objection, and Adelaide politicians place local interests before those of Australian concern. Under these circumstances they will not stomach so much as is included in the wide proposals of Sir Henry Parkes. The attitude of South Australia and Western Australia, and the refusal of New Zealand has brought the deliberations of the Conference to

something of a point, and the question is whether it is still advisable to take steps 1 towards ifedewtion without waiting tue co-operation of.all the colonies.
