DEAR SRI expect the people in

session except one since the forma-
ton of the State. We have intro.
duced three or four resolutions to
adjourn : which have been killed by
amendments and otherwise. So We
stand to day as we did on the first
Monday in October, 1859. This is
the most remarkable body that ever
assembled here that is as far as the
House is concerned. The system
adopted here is peeuliar only to Ten

fought three times certain, and some
times four on the second reading.
If it fails it is then reconsidered,
and then the call Of the roll on its
reconsideration, and then call the
roll on the previous question, and
then it passes on its second reading
and then when it comes up on its
third and last reading, the came
programme is to 60 over exactly
Then if it should happen to fail,
the same bill is introduced into the
Senate, where i. is generally log
