Hen. Mr. Tilleressayed some explanations, ,and Mr. Mackenzie remarked that the COUrSe adopted was quite on. a level with the mode in whieh Pailiament had been treated of tate by the overn- ment. • On. the Supperannuation B 11 corn- ing tip Mrjoly again moved --an mend_ menet exempting Civil Servioe em ioyers whose 'lives were already insured, eithe - from payment or participation in th ,bene- ftof the fUnd.

Hincks said the British Government would not do policy duty, and their vessels were unfit to follow tne Anaericans'. Hon Mi Dation wanted to know if the expense would be jointly borne, as in the case of the Northwest expedition. Sir Francis Hincks said it would not. Further discussion en- sued, in which Hon. Mr. Holton ' severely censured the Government for net placing the whole correspondence before the House. Sit George E. Cartier said they had been desirous of -placing the despstch just read befone the House without waiting for the preparation of the previous correspondence. - Sir George E. Cartier then in answer to a avestionfrom Mr. Mackenzie; expressed his regret at the illness of ,Sir John. A. Mac- donald, who had been seized with spasms as he was about starting for the House. As the Premier wished to be present at the dis- cussion in Committee on the Manitoba Bill - that measure, unless the House insisted .on proceeding with it: !Mist stand over till an - ,other sitting.

Mr. Bolton and other members haying spoken, a vote was taken, and at first the division stood—yeas, 54; nays, 56. Other members being called in to vote, some ob- . jealous were raised, and on a final cerrect- ion of the list the numbers were equal. The - Speaker being appealed to, ga-ve his vote ee • with the yeas, and the division standing— yeas 57; nays, 56, the Bill was thrown out. eromaki. • On the meeting of the House Sir George E. Cartier ha-ving alluded to the improve- ment in the health of Sir John A. Macdon- ald, the resolutions relating to money claus- es in the Government of Aranitoba Bill were considered, and referred to the Com- mittee of the Whole. In Comraittee on the Bill, Mr. Ferguson objected to' the clause reserving 1,400,000 acres'of land to the half-breeds, and moved its oneissioel vSir George E. Cartier urged that the allotment was just, and some compensation to those whose counery they were appropriating, and in which the would require land for the British Pacific Railroad. Pon. Mr. Mc- Dougall opposed the clause, and spoke at • some length against it. He asserted that the mixed race had no claim as Indians, and said that the half-breeds could very well manage their own affairs, referring to Mr.! Monkraan and others as proofs of the intel- ligence of the race, The Indians were not provided for by the clause; and if the half- breeds wanted land, they could have a free t. Agriculture was not their usual avocation, and those reservations would only entail on the country the sad experience of Canada from the same cause, Sir F. Hincks defended the reservations, and admitted that it was pradically a bribe whereby to obtain peaceful s possession of the Territory. He teetrited Hon. Mr. McDougall Wi haring•Made a fir greater allotment to t fludSon By Company, and paid .th ,1300,1000 besides. ' Mr Mackenzie point out that, after' deducting the settled portio 7 --the Hudson Bay Company'ei claims—t reserves and land unsuited for cultivatio there would be , no space at .all- for imp grants. He favbured the giant of 200 tnelaci to the bead of every family, half breed white, indiscriminately. He pointed o that the Canadian delegates to London t cepted Lord Granville's proposals as those an arbitrator. He had already; last Sessi expressed his approval of the way in whi the GovernMent had acted in that matt He, Mr. Mackenzie, twitted Sir Fran With his ignorance of past events in Can da, and told him that ie (Mr. M.) was co sequently obliged to defend Sir George r Cartier fom. his attacks upon him: Aft some other members had spoken the Col mittee divided on the motion to omit t clause. The result was, yeas 37, mays 5 The Committee then rose and reported a the cla•uses as carried • Hon. Mr. McDo gall I argued against the costly and cun Lyons systern of government devised by tk • Bill. He took his share of the blan •attached to the Government for havin omitted in the Bill of last year to recog,ni the claims of the people of the Teri itory t a vote in the management of their own a fairs, but this Bill, he said, went to th other extreme. He referred to the groN ing dissatisfaction with the Governmen felt in the country, and said if this Bill pa sed it would,in Ontario, create great disaffec don. After E,Ymen lancing at, other adment he proposed to make, he referred to M Harrison's speech on, Satay, and j ustifi ed himself ;for issuing the proclamation Amongst other reasone for his firm °bene that the money was paid, he had a lette from a member of the Adminstratica dated-NoveMber 4th, saying that Sir Joh Rose was making his airangements to con _clulle the transaction. He bitterly corn mm plaed of the" inhuman act" of Mr. Howe who saw that he (Mr. McDougall) was tak ing his children with him into danger a that season of the year, in not warning him of what he might have to encounter. II conclusion, he nir ed the recoinmittal o the Bill for the purpose of • introducin amendments. G. E. Cartier taunter Hon. Mr. Macdougall with being a profesS- ed Liberal, and declared that the Conserve. fir ves wee the really. Liberal party. He did not approve of what had occurred at Red River, not yet of calling the people there rebels. They Ought to/drown the difficul- ties by liberal measures. The people were educated and the Confdence there would contrast favourably with the one at Quebec Mr. Mackenzie au ,s.otne length supporteci a temporary form of G e vern mein t, leaving it to the people to settle its details for them selves, and concluded by a motion as an amendment to that effect. MIL Mr. Howe defended himself from the attacks made up- on him, and repeated the account of his go- ing to Red River. In terms similar to those Used on a• former occasion. He had the bad taste to speak of the arrest of the party at Dr. Schultz's house as being_a piece of stra- tegy on Riel's part, and said he took them like fowls in a hen coop. 'Mr Bodwell se- verely censured Hon. Mr. Howe for the tone of his speech, and said he felt humilat- ed and disgraced at hearieg it. Hon. - Mr. Cameron. (Peel) blamed Hon:Mr. Howe for the injudicious tone of his speech. Mr. Jones (Leeds) had made a calculation, and found that kfter all deductions the Bill on- ly left 280,000 acres of land for settlement.

After routine business, and the announce- ment by Sir George E. Cartier that Sir John A. Macdonald was improving, though still very weak, the debate on -the Manito- ba Bill was resumed. Mr. Flrguson moved an amendment that all British Ski bjects of the age of 21, being bona 4de householders at the date of the first election, shall have votes.

After recess, Sir George E. Cartier announced that the Government were not prepared to go on with the Supreme Court bill this session. Sir George E. Cartier also -announced that the prorogation of Parliament would likely take place on Thursday next if the Senate had completed their work before that time. The .debate on the Manitoba measure having been resumed, Mr:Mackenzie moved that the children of half-breeds should be enti- tled to not more than 200 acres Of land on attaining the age of 18, under such regula- tions as shall be enacted by the Governor in Council, Sir Geo. E. Cartier opposed this involving the requirement of more land than the Government proposal. The amendment was lost.

Mr. Mac- kenzie then announced that he would not offer any further opposition to the Bill. As th a Government refused all the amendments offered, -they must accept the entire respon- sibility of the tnbasure. After some further remarks, the Bill was react a third time. Tne House then went into Committee on the item for the Northwest expenditure, the .dehate on which occupied the greater por- tion of the night.- Other bueiness. was got through, and on the item of $100,000 for Secret Service money being called, Hon. Mr. Holton objected to it, and Sir George E. °Artier agreed to reduce it by $25.000, after which it was passed. !".1wanrimminsw EASE AND COMFORT THE BLESSING OF PERFECT SIGHT.
