The sixth and seventh resolutions for the reform of the

pro- cedure of the House, which simply abolish existing provisions for superfluous debates, were carried yesterday week, as follows : " (6), That, in Committee on a Bill, the preamble do stand postponed until after the consideration of the clauses, without question put ;" and, " (7), That when the Chairman of a Com- mittee has been ordered to make a report to the House, he shall leave the chair without question put." These were carried, with extremely little criticism or opposition.
