Government. At- the commencement of tho debate the Opposition did all they could to come to a division to-night, hut it wns soon seen that members wanted to have their say.

Present appearances, however, do not favor the probability that a dissolution may occur. The Government claim a majority of six ; the Opposition have ticked off forty five, and are hopeful of obtaining five out of ten, who are looked upon as being on a rail. BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
