Mr.. GLADSTONE moved that on tomorrow and
every succeeding Tuesday during the present session
Oh ders Of the day lave precedence of notices OF mo-
ton, government orders OF the day having the
priority.
Mr. DIsRAELI said: IL am sorry to appear to on.
pose this motion. but the House should recoect that
the session is terminating under peculiar circun-
stances, and the effect OF the motion of the right
honorable gentleman Is to give to the government
monopoly. We have not yet received the important
papers respecting the breaking OF the peace Of
Europe which we had right to expect we should
by this time have received. There should be an op
portunity after these papers are produced OF bring
ing them under the consideration OF the House.
There seemed to be an understanding with the right
honorable gentleman that in consideration of our
giving up Tuesday mornings an opportunity would
be afforded for this discussion.
Mr.. .GLADsTONE-Priyate members, as the right
honorable gentlemen is aware, Will still retain
Wednesday and Friday evenings. If it is desired
will be IN the hands OF members this evening, the
government win take care that proper opportunity
is afforded for It, QIear, hear.)
