tleman had sent him } t Bd r. S tglngova-nmcnt. They might fe&} °t"°§§g. _ |iogly gratified at the result of th¥ three| _ sion. In the majority thert were thrcel gentlemen who were rCt!}med' .it m t'l :O ' J support, at all events to g1ve 3 fair tmltl 0 the Government. Alluding t0 the hon. member for Essex, he said that hon. gen-- tleman was returned for g:onsmuencyg: which was strongly Ministerial, and had : pledged himself to give the Government & fair trial. That hon. gentleman had not . been regarded as an Opposition candidate .: n any sense. j Mr?PRlNCE said that had becn shown | | to be a mis--statement. s s Hon.

After the address had been carried a com mittee was appointed to draft an address to His Excellency ; the Committee reported and the address was read a first time. On the second reading Mr. Blake called for a division, which was taken formally, yeas 64, nays 6, and the address was read a third time, passed, ordered to be engrossed and preseuted, and the House adjourned at 12 59 a. u.
