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 (Inyears n of thesHonourabl,' MaocrseSuttonn. the The 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 who coconflict with Mr. Fox, a [eat, imported Mr. Pitt, was elected with Pitt's consent. The present Speaker of th - perial Parl.amemt, wast a Wing, g ancestors, yet be bad been unanimously 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. le 1841, be being Speaker, a dissolution oc- 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.

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.
