Rehellian Claims.


The proceedings OF the House OF Assembly on
Thursday evening came to somewhat abrupt terrnins
ton. The rebellion clsims we're under discussion dur
log the whole day. the only two speakers being Mr.
Price and Mr.. Solicitor General Blake. The latter
gentleman made speech, In which he permitted him
self 10 indulge In language toward his political oppo
nents, and particularly Sir Allan McNab, which was
certainly not such language as is COMMONLY heard
within the walls Of Parliament Ater declaiming for
some hours the gentleman declared Sir Allan MeNsb
rebel. Sir Allan 10 order, and said ne could
distinguish such an assertion from islsehoOd.
Mr. Blake with tremendous blow OF MS fat on the
desk reiterated the expression Sir Allan McNab again
and IN the act OF addressing the Speaker the gal

Incessant cries Of Order were maintained by the
Speaker and the members and al last after order was
partially restored the Speaker asked the House Tor

that " an eyotsbe people, such ss those Of Montreal
notorously are admitted TO hesr the debates they
will not control their passions, when they are excited

Our firm belief is that If there many more dis
plays such that made by Mr. Blake OF Thursday the
House will not be able deliberate In safety without
