Evening Sitting.
Tlie debate upon Mr. Pearsons motion— "that a select committee be appointed to enquire into the causes which have led to the financial embarrassments of the Province, and consequent stoppage of the Railway Works, with power to call for papers and hear evidence — such Committee to consist of Messrs. Cowan, Cuthbertson, Macdonald and the Mover," occupied nearly the whole evening, the hon. member speaking for nearly two hours, and Dr. Menzies almost as long. The nature of the debate is ot so important a character, and so lengthy, that we must hold it over until a future issue ; during the setting of the Council, we have endeavored at considerable trouble to give full and impartial reports, but when a debate extends to the length of those which have taken place yesterday, of a necessity, we are compelled to postpone then.' publication or present them in a mutulated and imperfect shape. We are on this occasion compelled to hold over the speeches of Dr. Menzies, Mr. Cuthbertson, and others, on the Finance question, made during the morning sitting and th whole of the Evenings debate, They will appear in a future issue,
