ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Lord J. RessELL rose to move, that the house, at its rising,
should adjourn until Friday next, on which day there was some
business to be disposed of.—The motion was agreed to.

CANADA.

On the motion of Lord J. ltusssLt„ the order of the day for
the third reading of the Lower Canada government bill was
read. The noble lord also moved, that the bill be read a third
time.

MrLSADER presented several petitions, praying that this
" coercion bill" might not pass.
Sir G. Staictaia spoke at some length, chiefly against the
minimrv.

Sir HARRY VERNEY was glad that the hon. baronet, in com-
menting on the general conduct of the government, was unable
to find fault with at least one of their acts—the selection which
they had made of Lord Durham as a mediator with the colonies.

Mr. Hume certainly felt indignautThatha;easureiisihe
present bad been brought forward by her majesty's government.
But, drawing a comparison between the two sides of the house,
he must say that he had known many good and useful measures
proposed by her majesty's government; and all that he regretted
was, that they had stopped short of the only legitimate object
in view. He wished the honourable baronet would point out
any measure emanating from the other side of the house which
could bear any comparison with the liberal measures that had
emanated front her majesty's present government. The hon.
baronet maintained, that the opinion of the country was adverse
to the present government. That he (Mr. Hume) denied. He
believed that a very large majority of the people of the United
Kingdom approved the liberal and enlightened measures which
had been brought under the consideration of parliament by her
majesty's government. As an honest radical, be preferred her
majesty's ministers to the honourable gentleman opposite. He
would now refer to the bill, and say, that notwithstanding the
alterations which had been made in it in the committee, lie had
as strong an aversion to it as ever, and considered that so de-
spotic a measure reflected the highest discredit on a reform ad-
ministration. With these feelings upon the subject, he should
move as All amendment, that the bill be read a third time that
day six months.
Mr. WARBURTON seconded the amendment.
Sir ROBERT INGLIS said, that with regard to the bill now
about to be read a third time, he gave it his entire support; but
he could not help thinking that the remedies which were now
proposed, and which be trusted would be effectual, might have
been spared if inure vigorous measures had beeu used at au
earlier period.
Mr Alderman THOMPSON declared that the measure before
the house had his entire concurrence.

Mr. Gore said, upon this question, he had heard nothing to
alter the conviction he entertained when he first delivered his
opinion upon it.
Mr. WA tttiOitTON would avail himself of the present opportu-
nity of passing his malediction on this unfortunate hill.
Mr. Par Eit BottrnwicK was interrupted by loud cries of
"question," and "divide." The house then divided, when the
numbers were—for the third reading, 110; for Mr. Huine's
amendment. 8; majority for the third reading, 102.
After a short conversation, the bill was passed, and sent to the
lords.

tihw Wier.—On the 'motion of Mr. MORE OTERRALL, a
new writ was ordered for Galway in the room of Mr. Lynch,
who had been appointed a master in chancery, in the place of
Rister Roupell.
The house adjourned till Friday.
