The SFIARIR took the chair at a quarter before four
o'clock, at which hour the Chancellor of the Exchequer and
most of the government members were in attendance. Mr.
reargue O'Connor was also amongst them present when the
chair was taken much of that eccentricity of conduct for
which, during the present session, the boo, member was re-
markable previous to his departure for America he dr
played in the course of the toning. First, he proceeded
rouad the home to every leading member, and insisted on
shaking hands with each. Then Lord John Russell having
taken the front seat usually occupied by thu leader of the
opposition, but which this session Mr. O'Connor has ap-
propriated, the bats. member asserted his right of prior
occupation, and fairly ousted the noble lord from his posi• ,
non ; and again, when the Speaker left the Muir, es the '
house going into committee of eupply, the ML
immediately wired the vacant seat, and eamemalsg=
in its comfortable recess, remised happy 111 the temporary

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, previous
to the orders of the dry bring read, appealed to the house
to permit him to make a few ob.crvations in reference to the
eundoet and present state of public business. It would be
recollected that when the house last met, previous to the
hollow, he had agreed, on the part of the government, that
the adjourned debate, on the cooties, of his hon. friend the
member for North Warwickshire, on the Maynooth ques-
tion, should be proceeded with to-morrow (Friday), at 12
o'clock, but since then reprewntatioas had been mode to
him by some hon. gentlemen connected with Ireland com-
plaining that that arrangement was not fair to them. Had
those representations been made at the moment when he
proposed the arrangement he should at once have acceded,
sad agreed to some miler time which should have bees
more generally convenient, feeling that it was always his
duty, when say considerable body of gentlemen were parti-
cularly concerned in any item of the business before the
house, to consult their convenience as far as possible. (Hear.)
' And although the representations he refereed to were not
made at the most appropriate moment, his considered the
plea put forward by the hon. gentlemen who made them
was nevertheless so reasonable, that he at once complied
with the request made, and promised that when the house
met again he would state on what later day the adjourned
debate might be taken, intimating that Tuesday nest, at
12 o'clock, should be the time, which was the arrangement
he now proposed. (Hear, hear) He might be allowed to
add that, although the government was most anxious to
follow, in fixing the discussion, what they thought was the
feeling of the house, be saw no prospect, considering the
importance of freilitating the progress of the necessary
business of the session yet teardslag to be gone through, of
making any later arreneemest for the Maynooth debate.

tinue the amoebas' et apply at Li 'Ara, and in the
