In the Provincial Council, The Speaker took the chair at two o’clock. Mr Grant movjd, and Mr Mouat seconded, “ That as there is a great probability of the arrival of large bodies of Chinese into this Province, it is desirable the Executive Government should express their ideas and intentions respecting so important a matter.” The members of the Government expressed themselves to the effect that the late Executive had taken no active steps to introduce the Chinese, and that the present Government "would follow their example. Mr Grant was asked to withdraw his motion, but declined, and it was, upon a division, negatived.
Mr Haughton moved—“ That JTis Honor the Superintendent be respectfully requested to apply to His Excellency the Governor for a dis-solution-of the Provincial - Council immediately after the close of the present session.” A long and irregular debate ensued as to whether this motion should be allowed to be moved.
