PARLIAMENT.
[BY "fcEtEOKAPH.] HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. October 21. At Hfoe afternoon sitting, Sir George Grey introduced a resolution asking the Council to expunge from its records all reference to the Public Works Bill, which was opposed by the Premise, on the grounds that it was inadvisable to risk a conflict with the Council ; that the House had already arrested its privileges ; and that the Council was not to blame in the matter. The withdrawal of the motion was urged by the Speaker and Mr Stafford, but Sir George would not do so, urging that the question was one of the utmost imSirtance, and affecting the privileges of the ouse. The resolution was negatived by 34 against 20. MANHOOD SUFFRAGE. On the second reading of Sir George Grey's Manhood Suffrage Bill, the Premier moved the previous question, as at the late period of the session a question of such importance as that raised by the Bill could not receive the consideration it deserved; besides which it si ould emanate from the Government. The previous question was carried by 28 against 21. After receiving the Public Works and Immigration Estimates by message, and further considering in Committee the Abolition Financial Arrangements Bill, the House adjourned.
