LAST NIGHI’S DEBATE.-—-RESO- LUTION OF THE HOUSE ‘To STOP SUPPLIES.

Tnx Leuse of Assembly yesterday waited spon His Excellency the Lieutenant Go- vernor with their Address in answer to hia Speech at the opening of the Session, when the following reply was given there- to by His Fxcellency :—

Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly:

I beg to thank you for your Address. Tam gratified by the assurance it contains ef your readiness to provide for the due performance of the public service, and of your co-operation in all measures which — tend to advance the true interests and happiness of the people of this Island,

I regret to observe that you express a want of confidence in Her Majesty’s Exe- cutive Council.

You know that it is my duty to admi- nister the Government in strict conformity with Her Majesty’s instructions; and | have, at present, received no intimation, either of a public or private nature, au- thoriging me to depari from, or alter, the system of Government as it is now esta- blished in this Colony.

Atthe same time, | think that by a pru- dent and judicious exercise of your Legis- lative functions, the obtacles which now exiat to the accomplishment of your views may be ultimately removed, and the whole question adjusted in a satisfactory manner.

When the House met in the afternoon, Mr. Cotes rose and urged the necessity ef going into Committee on His Excel- sency’s answer to the Address, intimating hia belief that there was only one course

left for the Asseinly to pursue, since the.

Lieutenant Governor refused. to alter the system of Administration followed out in this Islaad, in conformity with the request of the House, and, as was obvious from the tenor of the last Despatch, in accord- ance with instructions received from the Colonial Minister.—'Phe coarse recom- mended by Mr. Coles, and subsequently by other speakers, was, to re-enact such of the expiring I.aws as it was advisable to continue, to draw up. an Address to Her Majesty, pointing out the reasons which induced the House to pass a vote of want of confidence in the local Govern- ment, and the motives by which they were actuated in refusing to His Excel- tency the usual supplies, and then respect- fally to request the Lieutenant Governor to prorogue the House; without passing a Revenue Bill or Appropriation Bill.

On motion of Mr. Coles the House re- tolved itself into a Committee of the whole, when, immediately, the following resolution was proposed by James War- burton, Esquire, (prefaced by a short but eloquent and energetic commentary on its necessity) and seconded by John W. Le- {Lacheur, Esquire. Several very able speeches were made in reference to this resolution, each speaker avowing his.de- termination to support it; the only gen- Ueman speaking in. opposition being the Hon. Mr. Thornton, whose observations were rather a vindication of his own con- duct as a member of Government, than a vindication of the policy of the Govern- ment on the whole, or a refutation of tue arguments advanced in support of the resolution.

Resolved, That % be recommended to the House toappoint a Committee to draw upan Address to Her Majesty, stating the grounds on which the House has been edliged to pass @ vote of want of confi-

ience inthe Executive Council of this Colony, and that, asa necessary conse- juence, they are under the necessity of efusing the supplies until the Govern- nent of this Island shall be remodelled, 0 as to enjoy the confidence of the peo- je; und thatthe moneys which shall in ‘uture be taken from the people shall be expended judiciously and for their bene- it, or inother words, until the people of ‘his Colony obtain what is usually termed Responsible Government.

The resolution having Seen reported to the House, it was carried 6n the follow- ing division—the Hon. Speaker having voted for it in Committee :—

For the resolution :— Messrs. Warbu- ton, LeLacheur, Coles, Pope, Davies, Laird, Flynn, Lord, Whelan, Mooney, Clark, Beaton, M‘Donald, Montgomery, M‘Neill, Fraser, Jardine—17.

Against it~—Hon, Mr. Thornton, Mr. Haviland—2,

In our paper on Saturday we shall offer a few observations on the above resolu- tion. Inthe meantime we can only ob- serve, that, extraordinary as it may ap- pear to stop the supplies, the House of Assembly could adopt no other resolution without being uiterly disgraced in the eyes of the country, after the pledges and promises the individual members of the majority have made to their constituents to insist on the introduction of Resposible Government, no matter what the conse, quences. might be. Thongh temporary inconvenience may result to the country from this proceeding of their Representa- tives, we are quite certain it will meet with a prompt and unqualified concur- reace of a large mnajority of the people.

.

TTE AMENDMENT TO THE ADDRESS IN THE LeeisLative Councis.—In our paper on Saturday last we noticed that an amendment had been proposed to the Address from-the Legislative Council by the Hon. Mr. Swaby, expressing the regret of that Honourable Body that the Speech from the throne contained no inti-

ination of the intention ofthe Executive)

to introduce into this Colony the princi- of Responsible Government. The debates occasioned by this amendment, was brought to a close on Monday, when it was lost on the following division:-—

For.the amendment :—-The Honorables | Messrs. Dalrymple, Young, Birnie, Hay- thorne. [The Hon. Mr. Swabey, who would, of course, have voted for it, was, through indisposition, unable to attend.]

Against it:—The Hon. the President, Honorables Messrs. M‘Donald, Holl, Rice, Hensley.
