BALLOT.

Mr. GROTE presented several petitions in favour of
the Ballot.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House at its
rising do adjourn till Friday next. He was not in the
House on Saturday last, otherwise he should have given
notice of the motion, but he believed it had been generally
understood that the House was to adjourn over for a few
days. There was some business to be disposed of on Fri-
day, and therefore he should move that the House do ad-
journ to that day.
Mr. H AWES had been requested byone of the attendants
of the House to state, that the exclusion of the public on
Saturday last was a matter of a purely accidental nature, for
which he was very sorry. It was unnecessary, he presumed, to
assure the House that the Government had nothing to do
with it, as had been stated by sonic parties.—(Much
laughter.) The attendant had begged of him to express his
great regret at the circumstance, which was entirely acci-
dental.

The motion for the adjournment of the House was then
put and agreed to.

CANADA.

On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Order
of the Day for the third reading of the Canada Govern-
ment Bill was then read.

Mr. LEADER had several petitions to present on the
subject from Westminster, Southwark, Whitechapel,
Kingsland-road, St. John's Clerkenwell, and several other
places. The petitioners all concurred' in condemning
the manner in which Canada had been governed by the Co-
lonial Office for a number of years, and they prayed that
the Coercion Bill might not pass.
Sir G. SINCL AIR, having never taken part in any of
the discussions respecting the affairs of Canada either during
the present or any former Session, hoped the House would
allow him to offer a few observations. He believed no
Bill had ever been produced to which during its pro-
gress through the Committee so much had been added,
or from which so much had been taken away. The ac-
quiescence of the Noble Lord in the very seasonable
suggestions of the Right Honourable Baronet, showed that
though the Noble Lord was not gifted with the second
sight, he took the benefit of second thoughts.—(Hear,
hear.) The result was anticipated by every Member
who then surrounded him, when they heard the first
sentence which had fallen from the Right Honourable
Member for Coventry. That certainly was a most useful
speech—it was useful to all parties—it was useful to the
country, but more especially useful to the Government.--
(Hear, hear.) That Right Hon. Gentleiran had—he
would not say killed two birds with one stone—but he had
most certainly decidedly served two objects with one
speech. He had shown his own patriotism, and at the
same time served his own party. He wanted to take that
opportunity of expressing the deep regret he felt at being
obliged to give his support to a Bill of such a nature.
He was compelled to do so, by the utter incapacity that
had been shown by the Government. He had intended to
give another chance to the constituencies of Canada, hop-
ing that, from the better experience which they now had,
that their acts would be better ; the hope that he might
be allowed to take such a course was put aside, by
the speeches which had fallen from the Honourable
Gentlemen opposite, who seemed to have taken to them-
selves the title of the frionds of Canada—(Hear hear)—
epeeches which were the most inflammatory and revolu•
tionary which it had ever fallen to his lot to hear.
It was also singular that those inflammatory speeches were
made by those who at the late election were principally
supported by her Majesty's Ministers. Mr. Leader, he
was informed, had the Comptroller of the Household for
the Chairman of his Committee, and it was broadly
asserted that no warrant had been delivered to any trades-
man to the Royal family who had dared to vote far Sir
George Murray, while it was a fact that. the Hon. Mem-
ber for Kilkenny was supported on his right hand on 'the
hustings at Brentford by her Majesty's Attorney-Ge-
neral.—(Hear.) And those were the Gentlemen who new
gave such an efficient support to her Majesty's Government.
Then with regard to the appointment of Lord Durham.
He wished to speak of that Noble Lord with the high IT,
spect that was due to his talents.—(Hear, heat%) But
there was one thing with regard to :hat appointment he
could not help noticing, and that was, the eningiums
that were bestowed, and the expectations entertained by
certain 't philosophical Radicale--or if they ohj

to that title he would sain phers bppo-
site. How were they described by
-e- uAhe of the organs
of her Majesty's Government this day? In that Mel'
they wore described as Lein a rgali section, and that
their section

intolerance ant insufferable 'self-coneeit. Snell Was the
