ooune had been agreed to (it would have Deen·more opportune beforf) the Colonifl Secretary expressed hil regret that the motion had ~een withdrawn, but he hoped that it w9•ld be distinctly under­stood that 'it was in order to have the same ohject carried out more effectual1y by other means. With much emotion the bon. gentleman paid a merited tribute to his lamented friend, which was responded to by the entire House.

A vote of £20,000 was proposed for a bridge over;the Yarra between Richmond and Prahra11. It was opposed by Mr. Fawkner OIJ the narrow ground that the city and neighborhood were unduly favored. He was, of ,course, supported, in this in­stance, by the gentlemen t.f the interior; but without succe!s, for the dURl was voted,-and wisely so, for whatever tends to improve the metrepo is, tends to at tract population to the colony. When­ever Me.bourne shall acquire a reputa­tion for possessing the comforts, con­nnience~, and luxuries of ciYiliaed life, emigration will be deprived of half its ter­rors in the fyes of the Britiah people.

A motio~ brought forward by Captain Dane for enquiring into the aeeumulation of forage a11d stores at the diggings, was rejected by a large majority.

The subject of natiunal educatr >n came, for the second time this sesaion, be(()l'e the House, in consequence of a niotion on the part of the Auditor-General for a vote of £10,000 in aid of the National Board. It wa;; attempted,. on the plea of a point of order, to throw the question out. 'I he plea was, that thuubj~ct had been already before tlte C'mnci11 but, as the Attorney-General clearly shewed, its former introduction was in the form of an ame!:lldment, and not as a positive motion. In this view the majority concurred. 1 The Speaker, then, as chair­man of the board, gave some interesting details respecting the prog:r es> and present state of their operations. A long and fac­tious discussion ensued, in the course of which many questions were raised alto­gether ex:tran·~ous to the subject actually befbre the committee. Mr. Parker, io reading an extract from the Report of the ~ atiDnal Board,. feil into the- same mis­take lhat he committed when quoting the evidence of the .Balaarat digger in the debate ·on the Gold-Fields Bill.. The pas­sage was open to ot-j.ection; bu.t, as the Auditor General Bbewed, he had miscon­ceived ita· meaning. It became, however, a suhjeoi of contention, though Dr. II Greevc~ shewed the aluurdity Gf opposing il the deured grant on the ground> of dis­sent from &n opinion il!> the Report.. The common sense of this appeal prevailed, and on the House dividing, the grant was carried by n large majority. In the-course of the debate (if debate it could be called) the Attorney·General anuounced that his promised Bill on Education would be ready in a few days.

Dr. Greevea moved that immediate stt>ps should be taken to nrovida oa.n llileanate supply of water for·extinguishiag fires. and detailed nrioua plans which would tend to tffect this obj~ct. Captain·Cole inflicted a tremendous castigation upon the Wo&ter and Sewerage Commissicn, and ex·

-r·----------~~-~===d· preesed his conviction that the real cause THE LEGBLATIVE.. OOGNCIL. of delay arose from the fact that the legal

did at thirteen minutes put three), the S k supplying the water-carts.

pea er announced that three members of th C ·1 h d · -.> h . ' The House rose at a late hour; e ounc1 a res1~n.,.. t e1r seate namely, the Chief Commissioner of ,­Police, Mr. Goldsmith, and Mr. Aldcorn, (a nominee), and that Captain M'Mahon h ld been nominated to one of the vacant seats. At a subsequent part of the evening, the new member wa11 formally introduced

e to the Houst>. S11ndry rettlrns were laid on the table

by the Colonial Secretary, The third reading of the Bill for the.

Better Management o1· the Gold- fields ' took precedence of the other businesa

on the programme ; blolt beyond s few verbal amendmente, there was no material alteration made in it, and very lit.tle discus. sion a-ttempted. Discussion, in fact, was useless on a Bill whi~th it was imper!.tive to pass at once, that u might become law on the day following. The Report af the Committee was accal!dingly adoptea; the amended Bill was sent to the printel"; and when it came baclk, it was read a third time.

At the eleventh hour, how-ever; . it w.a~ announced that a deputation from Ba·aarat had arrived to lay their opinions before- the House. The At­torney-Genera\ said that he had bad an interview with. the deputation i.n the cour10e of the enning-had listened to their

·· statements-had eRdea;ore<L to r-emove their objeptions-and in respect to one suggeatioa which they had, made relative to a · righ• of appeal in cer.tain cases he

' .. t. 1• ' propose .. · o msert a c aw;e to that dl:ect. The Auditor·General took. the oppor­

tunity Gf. announcing that the Gold Ex­tiOrt D.u.ty :Bill would be withdrawn.

P\IJ"-s-nt to notice, Mr. F-a "~ kner moved the a,ppropriatl~f £:500. for t&e erection o~ a. suitahle memori~e late Collect· r of Customs. The Speaker -h.~· ~ • \u a quef-tiOn of finance, the- House was in

, mil tee) was of opinion that the efficient discharge of the &rdinary duties of official life was not a proper reason for llCceding

.r to such a grant ;: but he thought tha.t special servic.es. had been rendered to the community b.y tke late Mr. Cassell,. in

• introducing and carrying out with such l compl'Olte success the present admirable d ,, system of customs duties, and that on th;s

ground be was entitlud tCI. the honor proposed.

Concurring fully in the opinion univer­'t 11 sally entertained in reference to the public f sen ices and private worth of the late bon.

memb .r, Dr. Greeves opposed the motion r from what he called conscieRtious objec­~ tions to grants for such purposes, Sev,ral a members seemed to share this opinion, and ~ Mr. Fawkner withdrew his motion on the o assurance which he had received, that ~~ more money would be raised by voluntary ,r contributiolls; and substituted a resolution :~ of condolence with the friends and relathu , of ~a~ deceased reqtlem~n.
