Akj'eu one of the most unseeiiily proceedings that has ever occurred m the House, Mr W. ]~ Rees was appointed Chiiiriiiaii of Coiiiii.ittci s. in Mr Perceval's place. A motion that Mr Kishcr bu appointed to the vacant oliice was lost by 3(i to "JD.

No less than eight uieit'bers of the party are reported to have practically seceded, and one of tlie most astute men iu the House, Mr (Jeoree Hutchison, formally cut the painter last night, PRORCGATIUX. Thu prorogation is not likuly tu tilxe place till Tuesday or Wednesday next, at the earliest, owing to tho E-timates having made little progress this weok.
