Mr. Paltimston referred to Sir Francis as his principal authority. Whea he cited Sir rratt:is, the house laughed heartily.

Mr. \\'imte.fat ill„11,sToNE spoke siith great ebility in support of the bill.

Mr. Cilaillnia BULLER congratulated the House on the evident de- termination of both sides to discuss the bill without reference to party interests; though he must say, that Mr. t:iaditone's remarks on Lord

turbulent British-born people" of Canada would submit to the continued deprivation of representative institutions. He defended the appointment of' Mr. Robert Baldwin as Solicitor-General of Upper Canada, against the attacks of Sir Francis Head. He warned the House against mixing up religious questions with the affairs of Canada. If the Union were to split on that rock, it would be a rock which people here put its its way.

IlumE considered that the bill would effect some improvement, and should go into Committee,

Mr. COLQE110EN repeated some of Mr. Pakington's objections to the bill. Lord Howscx expressed his entire concurrence in the mea- sure. Mr. O'Cossw, protested against it, on the ground of the in- equality of the number of Representatives assigned to each Province in reference to their population, and because the Lower Province would be saddled with the debt of the Upper Province. Lord Jong Russrm, briefly defended the bill from the attacks of Mr. Pakington and Mr. O'Connell ; and Mr. Pakington's amendment having been negatived, the House went into Committee.

On clause 4th, which refers to the constitution of the Legislative Council, Mr. CnattLys LUSHINGTON moved an amendment to prevent ecclesiastical persons from being summoned to the Council—Rejected, by 83 to 29. Mr. liumn objected to the qualification of 500/. for mem- bers of the House of Assembly, as too high : there ought to be no qua- lification at all. lie divided the Committee ; and the clause was car- ried, by 94 to 27. Mr. Huns: also moved to reduce the Civil List to 20,0001.—Rejected, by 88 to 14.

All the other clauses were carried without opposition ; the schedules were agreed to the House resumed, and the report is to be received on Monday. [Quick work this. But there was no party opposition to the bill ; so a hundred Members scampered through the fifty or sixty enactments Which compose the new constitution for Canada in a part of one evening's sitting. Poor Sir Francis Wronghead.]

Earlier hi the evening, Lord JOHN RessELL declined to produce a despatch on the Civil List of Guiana, which had appeared in the De- merara papers and been republished in London : Lord John's reason was, that he should like first to hear further from Governor Light.

On the motion of Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE', two new writs were or- dered,—one for Radnorshire, in the room of Mr. De Winton, deceased ; the other for Sudbury, in the room of Sir John Walsh, who had ac- cepted the Chiltern Ilimdreds. [Sir John, of course, stands for Rad- norshire. If he succeed, the Opposition gains another vote--counting two on a this is ion ; for Sudbury, we presume, is safe for a Tory.]

The House was counted out at a quarter past one, when only fifteen Members were present.
