Alters few word► in eapl►n►tion DisarmLt, sad
in a spirit in forma of the amendment from the Hun. F.
SCOTT, which were almost inaudible amidst the impatience
of tbe how, for a division,
. . _

Mr. MO WATT. admiring the animus of the government
is prepari,g the bill, objected to it that the liberty it se.
corded to the eolonis I to reneidel their o,n•tieution here-
after was s, re theoretical than practical. The nominee
element in t►e colonial letislatur•s would etf.ctually bar
the it fits /18 eney r the representatives of local opinion.
Mr. BASS having briefly spoken,
Lord J. RISSELL recalled the committee to the point
realty before them, from which the successive speakers bad
travelled rather widely in advocating the full introduction of
the elective principle, which the amendment itself did not
esperaly contemplate. The noble lord repeated in brief
Wl= •01110 of the statements that bed already been ad-
doced to show that the bill wee judiciously and consistently
framed, and bad received the rotten of present opionen and
poet *artistes amongst the coloniets. He deprecated the
estbarags of this safe measure for a new and perilous en•
periment in constitution-nisking. The only alternative
yew have (said Lord John in conclusion) is to
delay this hilt for another year, and I can only say that I
believe a decision to that effect would produce the greatest
dismay in the colony. (itter, boar.) 1 have only fewer
to say that I hope this bill will be decided with a view to
the welfare of the c.untry, and with no other view.
(Cheers.)
Sir W. MOLESWORTH, in replying generally, eft
plained the workii.g provisoes of the constitution ►e wished
to introduce in Australia, contending that they involved no
Freak which a prudent and liberal statesman ought not to
approve.

nominees in t►e cileinisi legislature. Oa a division, this
