ron. There were demonstrations Of disorder
yesterday in the gallery and lobby, and the
Chair then indicated his purpose to order both
places to be cleared upon its renewal. The
same manifestations have been repeated to-day
aud the same warning giTen; and, as these
warnings have not been regarded, the Chair
must issue q peremptory order to have the
gallery cleared. The Chair is perfectly sali.-
lied, at the same time, that some Of the disa-
der is within the bar of the Hall. If it be
among members, the Chair has no right, nor
is IL his disposition to rebuke them. They have,
adopted rules Of order for their govcrnmenR
and it is for them TO Sag whether. or not they
shall observe them; but it is the duty OF the
Chair to aes that no disorder shall cone from
outsiders
Mr.. ELorRsoT, (of Halifax IL I'M satisfied,
air. Chairman, from my obse:Vations-lor, at
the moment Of the applause, ms eyes were
directed towards the gallery-that there WAS
no applause in that part O.! the building, and
that the disturbance vas mainly upon the floor

Mr.. RALpwIs-I hone it will be the pleasure
Of the Chair not to enforce the order which 1t

rum is observed, and as he feels that this Con.
y~eution, US we'll as TIL, committee. requires
him 10 enforce order, he would have M dis
erection bu, TO see that every rule Is strictly
carried out. Under existing circumstances,
whilst candor requires the CHAIR to soy i.nal
the disorder was as much upon the uo"r, rna
within the bar, Us in the lobby or gallery, yet
it is for the CsaIR principally u see That cut
siders do not disturb the deliberations OF lhe

committee have appealed to withdraw 'heoF'
der to clear the galleries, and as no one seems
inclined to dissent from these appeals, ule
CHAIR takes great pleasure in doing so unlsr
the hope that there will be again no necessity
