Scenes in the House.
The dignity of Parliament was lowered ou Thursday night by the obstructions of one Government supporter who was not altogether iit for his duties. On Friday night another member caused a scene while the tea duty was being debated. The Ministerial Whips failed to keep him iv onier, aud the Premier had to use his efforts to pacify him aud keep him from dragging John Hampton and his ship money into the question. Finally he was led away by friends. Such scenes, if repeated, will compel the press to take a decided stand and to namo the members. — Post.
