have as opportamity of following the to tribe

great rule of bre conduct. The election of
Speaker wu oars of thus occasions iso
wbiob all mensal to he aware that they had
btgber objects in view than those of mere
party -that they had to consult the dignity
and usefulness of that House. It was the
source of great `ratification to him to be
able to remark, that from expressions which
had fallen (mete the lion. member for the
Fourth Riding, he had reason to be
lieve
that he should meet with no opposition
i out that lion. member. The Hon. mem-
ber had often expressed the warmest attach
meat to the iedividual of whom he (Mr.
Cay ley ) •puke, and would no doubt be glad
of the opportunity W redeem hie pledges.
Cos.. Paints seconded the motion, sot
on pul.ttcal grounds but from a seam of
gratitude -gratitude which the House .m.a
w its lata talented Speaker. It was cos -
meant to British practice to place in the
Char the Speaker of the late Parliament',
provided be bad given wtisfacuos. Ile
was not aware that there was to be any op-
position on this occasioo ; at least, he bad
received no notification of any intention tri
place another person in the place of the
hon. and gallant member. That, coupled
with other reasons, fortified his opinion o'
the arguments by which he would endeavour
to show that It would be proper to re-elect
Sir Allan McNab. Ile had discharged his
duty carefully, industriously, eooscientiotesl
ly, and impartially ; and he (Cul. Prince)
felt sure that no one would be found pre-
pared to deny these propositions -noire
would accuse bim of partiality, incompe-
terce, tgooraace, or any other thing that
could justify that Ilouse in rejecting him as
Speaker. He thought he could show that
party ought not to be made the test of
election to the Speaker's Chir. It had
not been •o tot a long time in the British
Parliament. Politics had been altogether

bon. Manners Sutton was elected by a high
Tory Admin:etration, under Lord Liver-
pool, in 1817 and afterwards by Lord
Grey's Ad'nioistratiun, than which -nutting
could be more opposite in principle to that
of Lord Liverpool. Before that, during

imported Mr. Pitt, was elected with Pitt's
consent. The present Speaker of th

elected on several occasions by houses of
Commons of opposite political leanings. -
The case of thus gentleman, l►ir. Shaw
Lefevre, was exactly parallel to the present.

minietration
wwas in ppo etre so the prcae•tdAdministra-
tion was in power here. A d1ss4401Mo
took place, and a majoeity of Conservatives
were returned --so here, it was understood
that thanewadmi0taratian would be formed
from the newley elected members. Now,
how did Sir R. feel act in this case 1 The
Ministers proposed Mr. Shaw Lefevre u
their Speaker, just as the gallapt Kn•ght
has been proposed to -day. Peel had ed
the Ilouse to elect him, th.,tgh opposed-
him in pol*ticr-.and why 1 Because he
had acted as the gallant Knight had dune,
with industry, and impartially. The hon.
gentleman here read part of a speech of
Sir R. I'eel on this subject. When he first
sat In this (louse, he had,thonght it neces-
sary that the Speaker should be master of
the French language. Ile still thought it
very desirable ; but he war not disposed,
after experience, to think -tt absolutely
necessary, and he trusted the House would
uoanimuuely elect Sir A. McNab.
M.. BALum:4 said that if be could act
from personal motives, he might desire to
vote for the hon. member alreadyproposed.
Ile bad the satisfaction of king on terms of
frieed•bip, or at least of personal acquaint-
ance t.f • most agreeable kind with hens, al -
moa from his youth. But, in the discharge
of his duty to his country, he had always
disregarded personal consideration?, and
had looked only- to the interests of the
country. With respect to tl.e conduct of
the gallant height, ho had on many occa-
atoos been called 0o to express his approba.
poo of that gent' 'a conduct,- when
those who talked ,n their affection for
him. had been wdhng leave hon in too
lurch. The House was called together to
place in the Chair that member best calcu-
lated to sustain the dignity snd the interests
of the country at large. He was not pre-

THE PARLIAMENTARY SESSION.
The first session of the new Parliament
r now engaged in transacting the business
of the Province, and the proceedings can
be looked forward to with satisfaction, fur
the people of Canada are now fairly re-
presented. With great pleasure we remark
that the choice art the Speaker has been
succeeded by acts of subs' astial and prompt
justice to three individuals deprived oftheir
vete for that important fuoctiusary, b
trickery of the Tories. Messrs. DeWitt,
Cameros, sad Hiecke, have been allowed to
take their trots in the house, as appears u
our Telegraphic reports. Mr. llisoks was
(0614the asttng member fur Oxford by a
majouty_of 40 to 14. We are centres to
know what Dames belong to this profound
ciicle of 14. Toronto, will your members
be in -the number of thew jest judges 1 -
Weare not without fears of it, but will be
glad to fiad it otherwise. The (louse has
done moody lassies in these caw,. Under
the Metcalfe regimes, Commusiosen were
appointed, and the complaining parties, al-
though universally edmrted to be the choke
of the majority of votes were barraseed by
long protracted meetings during one or two
*moms, until they gave up the pursuit to
disgust. The Returning Officer of Beauh-
arnoia has been sent for, and we expect that
the Officers fin Oxford and Kent will ►Iso
have lea benefit of a journey to Montreal.
If -these men escape with impunity, we
shill have many imitators whenever a gene-
ral election takes place. 1f justice is dune it
will form • precedent in all time coming,
and we shall be no more troubled with a
Returning Officer doing the duty which be-
longs to the electors of a county or city.
