Colonial Seoretary that anything he might say about him, would have very little eff-ct upon the weed of any geutieman, either mm or out of | the hon. House, aod more particularly with those who knew the eouree from which it emanated. The Hon. Colonial Secretary was constantly trailing his coat-taile upon the arena of the House; aod, no matter what might be the subject ander discussion, endeavouring, by the venting of his filihy slang, to provoke sume one w tread upon them, #v that be might bave au opportunity to give further indulgence to his amiable propeosity tor ribald abuse and the violation ef decorum. That propensity, indeed, con-| stituted bis whole stock in trade. His whole political character depended upon it — and what a character! We could admire the statesmaa who brought forward measures for the benefit of bis country, widely as we wight differ from his political opinions io general; bet, he would ask, was there any thing seatesmaniike or patriotic in the Bull for the incorporation of Orange Lod es or in the Resolutions then uoder the consideration of the hon. Howse? No: that Bill had been denecd for the awakening of the worst pas- | sons of oor common nature, to set friend against friend, and neighbour against neizh- boar; and such was tie opinion conceraing itef one of England's leading stateswwun, the Duke of Neweaatle, who, in his condemna- tion of it, bad suid that Orange Lodges be- longed to a class of inetitations which all experience had shewn tw be calculated (if not actually intended) to imbitter religious and political drffereners. The evidence on that head of His Grace the Duke of New-| castle was surely superior to that of the Hon. Colonial Secretary, Mr. Pope, and much wore worthy of regard. But not satisied with contemuing the opinion and decision of the Duke of Newcastle us respected that Bill, and most foully aspersing the character of | Bishop Mcintyre, he (the Hon. Colonial Se- | eretary) had told them that the 11.000, who had signed the anti-Orange-Bill Petition— | persons of all shades of religion, not one of | whom were pot quite aw respectable as that ben. gentleman — men who Lad ever dis- graced themegives, either financially socially, or morally—were all liars. Now, he (Mr. Howlan) happened to be one of the signers of that Petition, and could tell that bun. gentleman that it was got up in open day— they who were the promoters of it did not tear to call a public meeting for the purpose —the purpose of exercising a constitutional right—the petitioning of ler Majesty to dwallow a Bill, the confirmation of which, they believed, wonld be detrimental to the | gvod order, peace and woli-being of the com- munity, and act thereon a3 a moral fire- brand ; and the disallowance of which, they hoped, might, in # constitutional manner, go far to rout out of the Island the narrow-

have ever marked the progress of the sucial curse of Orangeram. | The hon. mewber then proceeded, hy re- ference to the Journal of Liuwse for 1853, p. $%, to prove the truth of the statement in the Petition, that the Bb il had been carried | by @ majority of only 3. It there appeared wat the mution—that che Bill be received | ind read, was carried by a majority of only | 3; and, although it was true that, through | the other stages, the Bill was carried by vary- ing majorities, something greater than the) first, accurding to the varying numbers on exch side present on @ division, yet, as the | Bill eouuld not have passed unless there had | ‘een a majority in its favour on the motion | for ite first reading, and aa that majurity was only 3. it was literally true chat it had been carried by only that small majority.— Mr. Howlan concluded by saying, that it

" might well be questioned whether any clergy-

wan in the Island—if fully aware of the un- christian feelings by which the Huon. Colonial | Secretary was actuated——wouid receive him) inty Christian membership.

Hon. Colonial Secretary read from tie) Journal the several divisions which took | place upon the Bill, and observed that except | the majority in favor’ of the first reading of | the Bill was only 3, no other majority in its favor had been less than 4. With respect to | the majority by whieh the Bill bad been car- | tied, the hon. gentleman said, they could only take that on the motion that the Bill do | pa, and thet was a majority of 7.

Hon. Mr. Coles said the Hm. Colonial

re bad been harping upon the final division—the division which took place when | the Bill was -d-—then indeed the majority in favor of the Bill wae 7; but is was to be tmembered that he (the lon. Colonial Se- (tery) had waited to make the motion “that the Bill do pass’ until some of ite opponents were out of the way. When that Botion was made there were only 6 of the minority in the House ; but the whole of the who were in favor of the Bill from the

were present. ‘I'wo more of the minority having been brought in, the division was taken, and the Bill was finally curcied by 4) Maprity of 7. That fact did not, however, Mvalidate the statement in the petition “that the Bill was carried by a majority of only 3 ;"’ for, in fact, the real division of the was, at the last, as at the firet, 15 in favor of the Bill, and 12 agains: it; there- » What was stated ia the Petition, with to the majority by which the Bill

Was carried, wae perfect\y true.

; Mr. Davies. —Taking the spirit of the divi- “ou on the Bill, it was 12 against it, and 15 in lavor of it; the Petition, therefore, in stating that the Bill was carried by a majority of sly 3, was right, as t the spirit, although

Sateweut was inaccurate, as to the fact. —
