Mr. Mackenzie's motion wa lost, A. discussion followed till six o'clock, SATURDAY. The House of Commons in order to for- . ward public business had a special sitti g on Saturday evng, meeting at haif-past 7 o' - dock. SirF. Hincks iutrodaced a Bill t vest the further management of the'affairs of the • Bank of Upper Canada in the .CIQW1I in- stead of trustees as at present. After some remarks from Mr.- Mackenzie the Billl -was brought in, and a day fixed for its s ond reading, Sir Francis Hincks then o•ved the third reading :of the Rates of • In erest Bill. ' Hon. Mr. Holten protested a ainst the course; taken by the Finance Mimster, as a most distinct understanding had been ' arrived at on the ptevious evening t1u.t the Supreme Court Bill should be first t ken. Sir F. Hincks denied the existence o any such compact. Hon. Mr. Holton told him to•send for his leader and then deny it if he dared. Some sharp passages then took place betweea the two members, Hon. Mr. Holton insisting that the Bill should not be proceeded with, and Sir Francis Hincks declaring he _would go on with it. Sir Fran- -cis waxing wrath, addressing Mr. .Holton personally, declared he would not be put down. Hon. Mr. Holton charged him with a distinct breach of faith. Sir F. 'Mucks— "It is not true, it-is:not true." Each alaira • .e, ed that the other's words be taken own. Hon. Mr: Holton admitted that th lan- guage on both sides had been unparli• alea- tory, but insisecl that the Finance Minis- ter's flat denied of his - (Mr. Holton's) asset tionShould 'be taken down. Mr. -Macken- zie suggested that if the Finance Minister would retract the offensive expression, Mr. Holton. would probably withdraw his mo- tion that the words 'ae taken down. The Speaker interrupting said- it was easy for members to be mistaken on.sueh a question. He had his own impression, as to what had occurred on the .previoits evening, but sjhould not state them. The language used ly Sir ' Francis Hincles was unparliamentar, al- though an entire withdrawal of the voids was, perbaps,. too much to expect. Hon. Mr. Holton insisted the words should be taken down, and the Speaker said, however disagreeablehis duty, he must perform it. He appealed to Sir Francis Hincks to make some retraction. Sir Francis wanted to know if it was parliamentary to charge him with a breach of faith. The 'Speaker said the language on both sides was unparlia- mentary. He reminded Sir Francis, how -- ever, that greater lattitude was allowed to expressions against Ministers, than to those . . : against private naembers. Sir Francis did not know that. Hon. Mr. Holton declared it was not a debatable question, and still de- manded thab the words be taken down. Hon. Sandfield Macdonald thought the pro- ceeding should be by resolution. Hon. Mr. Holton argued the contrary. Hon. Mr. .Howe said tha if they were to diieuss the matter, they should do so with c.'osed doors. Sir•G,. E Cartier ridiculed the Hon. 0Mr. Holton's dernonstrative speech and action, arid tried to blunt the edge. of his charge a- gainst Sir F. Hincks. • He araueekthOt the 1 .Speaker was not bound to take notice of Mr. „ Holton's words as they were merely an in , terruption, and if the motion were pressed Ire should also move that the wort,- of the hon. member for Chateanguay be alto taken down: Mr. Mackenzie referring to their debates baying been generally harmonious , hitherto, expressed a hope that no entry would be necessary, but that Sir Francis ,. Hincks would make such explanations ,as 'were reasonable and the Hon: Mr. Holton accept them. Hon. Mr. Morris interrupt- ing was put down by an energetic ' rebuke, and Sir George E. Cartier said he hadonly got up to smooth difficulties. Sir Francis Hincks explained he felt greatly aggrieved at the charge made against him by Hon. Mr. Holton, and for the first time - that evening be ever had heard that a Minister arfthe Ciewn had to submit - to language not parliamentary when applied to private meMbers. The Speaker said "in an official capacity.” Sir Francis Hincks, continuing, said all he meant was, not that. Mr. Hol - ton's words were not true, but that they were incorrect. HOD Mr. Cameron dissent - 'ed the Speaker, as to words used to a Min- ister. The Speaker • said the explanation given by Sir F. 'nicks relieved his words from the charge of being unparliamentary. Mr. Mackenzie, after some further ‘discus- sion, form.ally_ moved that the Words of Sir Francis Hincks be taken down. Mr. Joy hoped the motion would not be pressed, and HOD. Mr. Morristrusted the explanation. -would be accepted by Mr. Holton, who, however, declared none had been made. The Speaker reiterated his opinion that - the interpretation he had put upon Sir P. Mucks' explanation had relieved the words . from being unparliamentary, and he could not so far stultify himself as to put the motion. Hon. Mr. Holton wished the me- - tion to be withdrawn; but had desired the words to go on -the journals to test a ques- tion Of fact about which -there was no doubt, and to which the Minister of Justice ought to have been - there to testify. If Sir Francis Hineks haa tendered anex- planation he would have • gone half way to .met him, but he had not clone so Fi- nally, Sir Francis Hincks, with protesta- tions of regard_ for Hon. Mr. Holton, ex- plained that he 'did not intend to charge the latter with an untruth, but merely to deny that eiere had been a breach offaith on the part tif the Ministers. So the mat- ter dropped, every body probably wonder- ing why in the name of common sense'the Finance Minister could not have said as much before, and saved all this trouble. The third reading of the Bill which had raised all the hubbub was then moved, and Hon. Mr. Holten moved an ametidment to refer it back to the Committee of the Whole, with instructions .to insert !words putting emporationa on the saute footin,g as private persons. -After an able speech from Dr. Tupper in its.favor, the resolution was carried by yilas, 70'; nays, 69 ; the numbers -being received with eheers bythe Opposition - The clause being amended ac- cordingly. Mr. Joy --after 12 o'clock, and when Mr. Mackenzie end other members, protesting against sitting on the Sabbath, had left—carried by a vote of yeas,_ 61 ; nays, 41i ; another amendment declaring that persons stipulating for more than the legal rate S11011111 2.pso facto forfeit their Thenthere was a discussion about adjourning, .Lnd the Bill 'still standing for a third reading, the House adjourned at 12:30, Sunday morning. MONDAY. The Canada Central atailway Bill was the that subject of debate on the meeting of the 1 -louse of Com mons to -day. The discustion-was continued for some time in French, and subsequently, Hon. Mr. Wood suggested two amendments, which be said would remove ,his oajections to tly3 Bill. Hon. Mr. Abbot said that if the acceptance of the amendments would stop the opposi- tion to the Bill, be would agree to them. Hon. Mr. Wood ()quid only express his own opinion in the matter. The debate conti- nued up to the hour for recess, immediately previous to which, Hon, Mr. Chauveau's amendment, on which the discussion had originated, being put and lost by—Yeas, 46, Nays', 61. After recess, tin amendment having been introduced, at the instance of tfon. Mr. Abbott, the Bill was read a third time, and passed. Dr. Tupper moved that concurrence in the recon-nnendations of the Ccramittee on Printing the Debates be the first order of the day on Wednesday next. Mr. Mackenzie thought it absurd to bring kucha motion just at the close of a ses sion. Dr. Tupper explained the cause of theidelay but Mr. .Mackenzie thought the subject might, if desired, have been lat•ought on long before, awl still objetted to raising the discussion at so late a peaiod. Mr. Jones (Leeds') agreed With Mr. Mackenzie, and said althotigh,$10,000 was the estima- ted cost, they knew before - next Fession it would have aniounted to twice that sum. Ar. _McDonald (Lunenburg), seconded by Mr. Mackenzie, mcved an amendment, re- ferring, back the report to the Committee to devise a plan for the efficient reporting of the debates next session. • Mr. Cameron (Huron), Hon. Mr. Wood, Mr. Young and Mr. Bodwell spoke to the motion, the last named gentleman moving an amendment to the effect that it was inexpedient to take ' actions in the matter this session.' Sir G. E. Cartier recommended the adoption of Dr. Tupper's motion, and Mr. Mackenzie again urged reasons for re-considetation Hon. .Joha Sandfield Macdonald preferre& leaving repents to open competition. Mr. Boclwell's amendment was then put and cartied by Yeas 97, Nays 35. After an attempt on the part ofSii G. E. Cartier t� prevent a debate on the subject being prOeeeded with, Mr. Mills moved that the House should ge into Committee to consider certain resolu- • tions respecting the admission of Rupert's Lana and the North-West Territory into the Dominion. The hon. gentlenaan then essayed to ?Teak but was Objected to con- stant, -interruptions, which rendered him nearly inaudible. At last, they became so violent that Hon Mr. Howe appealed to Mr. Mills not to proceed. He said the Gov- ernment were anxious to hear his arguments but could not do so under existing circum- stances. Mr. Mills explained that the late- ness ofthe period to which the Government had postponed the debate on this question would prevent all the attention being given to it that it deserved, and then proceeded to argue that the people of the North-West had a right to a system of self-government similar to that enjoyeu by Provinces in the Donainioia, and promised to others that were expected to join the Confederation, Sir. G. E. Cartier, at the conclusion of Mr. 'Mills' speech, again expressed a hope that the dis- cussion wonld be allowed to drop. Being pressed by Mr. Mackenzie, he said he hop- ed by the middle or end of the week Gov- ernment would be prepared to come down to the House with a policY. Mr. Macken- zie complained that the assurance given was so vague, and recalled the several conduct • on which promises of an early debate OD the question had been mad& by the Government and commented on the series of delays itt bringing down the papers on the subject. The debate was then adjourned. Several other motions haying been disposed of, on the motion for the adjournment of the House, Mr. Mackenzie called attention to the' action of the Government in relation to the rumoured Fenian invasion'tan.d the alarm created thereby. He litd- noticed that troops were being recollect from the frontier, and wished for explanations as to the course Government had taken, and also to know whether if circumstances were al- tered the recent Habeas Corpus Suspension Act would be repealed. Sir. G. E, Cartier said that only e portion of' the troops had been recalled and information had that day reached the Government which would pre- vent them from recalling the whole force. He said that they had the most authorita- tive information that, but for the timely action of the Government, there would have been an inVasion. Under the present cir- cumstances' the Government would not be prepared to repeal the late Act. Hem. Mr, Holton expressed himself as sceptical from the first as to the extent of the danger, and strongly deprecated what, in his, opinion, was the needless alarm of the Government. TUESDAY. Mr. Workman presented a petition that the duty lately imposed on wheat and, other agricultural producta, as also on coal and salt be removed. Hon. Mr. Holton said he noticed that the Interest Bill had °eau dropped out of the general orders, and ap- peared under the public orders, with the name of a private member attached to it. He asked if Government had given up the charge of the bill. Sir Francis Hincks said that after the amendments which had been carried, he Was not gome to take any further charge of it. • Sir Join A. Mac donald's New Brunswick Police Bill, and the Bill to empower the Police Magistrate at Halifax to sentence juvenile offenders to be detained in the Industrial School, were read a thital time. Hon. Mr. Tilley- asked that certain officers shonld be appointed to collect port charges on vessels, with the ob- ject of authorising two additional ports. Hon. Mr. Holton asked a number of pies: tions with reference to the North-West diffi- culty, which Sir John .A.. Macdonald did not consider expedient to answer ; but he said that the members of the Government had been engaged- in discussing the subject night and day.. and he hoped, within a few da, he might almost say within a few hours, to announce a happy solution of the _•difficulty. Mr Mackenzie hoped the Gov- ernment did not intend retaining the ser- vices of Mr. Wheelock, of the St Paul's Press as agent at St Paul's, as he had sys- tematically colored the despatches sent through him. Hon. Mr. Howe thought Mr. Wheelock had forwarded everything sent to him faithfully. Hon. Mr. Mac- dougall doubted this. Sir John A. Mac- donald said he knew that the deapateles had been faithfully iorwarded, as they had been acknowledged. The House then went into Committee on Ways and Means, and Sir Francis Hincks proposed some altera- tions in the Budget resolutions, among which were the abandonment of the duties on coal and wheat. Several members ex- pressed ',heir opinion on the proposed changes, until the House rose at 6 o'clock. After recess, Sir Francis Hincks said he had since the House rose, consukted with some of the members of the Government, and they had resolved to adhere to the ori- ginal tariff resolutions, and not remit the duties on coal and wheat. Several mem- bers spoke, charging the Government with vascillating policy, and complained of the injurious effect of the policy on New Bruns- wick. After a lengthened discussion on the motion of the member for Glengarry, the debate was adjourned at 1 15- .c'elock. --el ee Red River Expedition. It does not appear that the Red River expedition is going to be so grand an affair as it was at one time reported. The regu- lar troops, it is said, will be about 500 in number, and will embrace etgineers, artil- lery and infantry. These, with 700 volun- teers, will make the whole force -1,200 men. Six seven -pounders will accompany the ex- pedition. Col. Wolsley is to have the chief command, and Lieut. -Col. Bolton, ef the Royal Artillery, at Montreal, has been ap- pointed Adjutant -General on Col. Wolsley's _ staff. It is, however. said that Colonel Wolsley will not only go out as commander of the expedition, but that he will also he appointed Administrator of the Government, acting under Sir John Young. It is fur- ther reported from Ottawa that while the troops are advancing from Fort; William, the character of the government to be offer- ed to the people will be announced to them in the form of a proclamation, conveyed in- to the Settlement 'uy way of Pembina, which it is expected will induce the people to unite in the reception of the troop§ in a friendly manner, and that no resistanee will be off- ered. It does not yet appear; however, that it has been decided whether 4a Legislative Chamber is to be established in the Pro- vince or not. The Police force will be or- ganized under Capt. Cameron, and will be composed in part of men taken from Cana- da, and others belonging to Red River Set- tlement. • It is hardly probable, however, that the expedition will be prepared to start on the third- or fourth of May, as was at one time supposed.—Ham.
