MONDAY. New Member Introduced.

At the [evening sitting yesterday, Mr McDonald, the new member for Bruce, was introduced by Messrs Driver and Macao drew, and took the oath aud his seat. He is a Ministerialist, aud will deprive Mr Stowatd of the honour of being tbe tallest man in the Huii.e.

The first order of the day was the seoond reading oi Sir George Grey's Constitution Act amendment Bt i No. 2. a*—* The Constitution Act Amendment

Bill.-Interesting Debate. Sir George Grey moved the second reading, and prefaced his remarks by stat ing tbat the bill had been lost last session by a majority of four. It being complained that lie had not sufficiently sxplained the provisions of the bill, be would to-night free himself from the charge. He then went on to say that the Constitution Act was frame! by the Bri'.ish Parliament, which was Ignotant of the wants and re quiremenis of the country. The Parlia ment was, besides, only a Parliament of a period—of a particular epoch of time —and they bad no right to assume that a Parliament of to - day would ad here to the measure of the Parlia ment that passed the Constitution. He held that it was the inherent right of the people to choos.; the form of fjovernrneut under which they wished to live. The Constitution was a liberal one, but <iid not quite give that right; no machinery was laid down in the Constitution Act to pro vide for such an emergency as a difference of opinion beiween the two branch is of the Legislature. Thoy had power to determine how the Governor should be appointed, aud iv the some way he was confident they had a right to make such a law a*J he now proposed. It was said by some persons— " What is the uso of introducing a measure of tbis kind ? We have power at present to provide for such an emergency as a dead lock. We |can appoint a sufficient number of members of the Upper Houne to get over the difliculiy," He, howeveif pointed out tbat such an act would be at least a violent one; besides, if tho House of Representatives could swamp the Upper House for the purpose of getting their meaiures passed, surely power should be given to the Upper House to make the House of Representatives carry tbeir measures; surely there should be some parity of right between the two branches. Another point was tbat the bill proposed that when either Chamber pasaes a bill and the other Chamber refuses to as>ent to it, the Chamber in which the bill originated may refer to a pleb__ci;e ol the people. The course, however, only j coiili be adopted on questions of constitu i lional change. Id trying to get the House to assent to this, he was trying to get the : House to adopt a national law which pro ' vi.cd that no constitutional change should take place before the people had been con sulted. He believed this course should have been taken on the abolition of the provinces, though it waa not. On con -1 suiting history they would find that the making of constitutional changes, without appealing to the people, brought tn evils th.t >cars did not eradicate. After refer ring to tbe evils ol bribing the constituencies for the purposes of depriving them of their liberties, be argued that his bill prevented such being done in the future, as constitu tional changes would be referred to a. calm deliberate [vote of the people c I the colony. Sir George sat down amidst considerable applause. Major ATKINSON confessed to dis appointment at the remarks of Sir George Grey, and said if Sir Gcerk'e had given no explanation lust yen-, be had given none to night. Ho had not given one single iostance of a conflict between the Houses of the kind that he described. He had made some reference to tbe aboliton of the provinces, He (Major Atkinson) denied that the change that had tak n place was a violent one. A bill bad bean passed and suspended for twelve months to enable the election to take place. Bo asserted that plenty of time bad been given to the people to consider tbe matter. The hon. member had said tbat this led to bribery and corruption. Hon. gentlemen then (looking hard at Ministerial benches) —Sir George Grey; " Hear, hear "—he supposed thty would hear more about bribers and corruption to-morrow night from the hon, member opposite (Mr Mont gomery), but he had no doubt they would bejable to combat them, He then went on to criticiee Sir George Grey's bill, pointing out that the plebcscite had been a failure in France. He pointed out that under the bill a measure coufd be pas-ed in the Upper Chamber and referred to a plebescite without consideration by tbis Chamber at all. He said they had never admilted tbe right of the Upper House to initiate great constitutional changes, Ho praised the present institu tion, which had worked well previously, and thought Sir George Grey should have adi'uced better reasons for a change.

Mr SnEniERD pointed out that the majority of four referred to by Sir George Grey was only in favour of adjournment, and so he had made a mistake. If the bill had stood on its merits there would have been a strong majoriiy against it. He would oppose the second reading, Mr MACandrew denied that abolition was the wish ot tbe people of the country. Otago returned 21 in embers against aboli tion, and Auckland to a man went the same way, but they were overdone by the unequal representation of the colony at that tin 0. His speech was received with applause, Sir Geo, Grey leading it vigour ously. Sir G*o. Grey, in reply, said that Major Atkinson sat in power through the in fluence of his relatives. There never had beon a fair representation in the colony at the time of abolition, and if a plebescite bad been taken, the province would not have been abolished. 'Ihe real point was this—Were the people of the colony to re main under a few families, who spread the network of their power all over the colony! Ho said there was a reign of terror in the Ministers, through their Press, intimidating men from speaking ont. He accused Major Atkinson et dreading an appeal to tbe people through the plebescite. In conclusion, be recapitulated the arguments in favour of the bill.

The House divided on the question that the bill be read a second time: Ayes, 24; noes, 46.

Tho second reading of Sir George Grey's *tanip Duty Amendment Bill was post* poned till next Wednesday week, the bill not beiog printed. ihe Eight Hours Bill-A Laugh _ able End. The House went into Committee on Mr Green's Eight Hours Bill, and a lengthy discussion en*ued, many members on the Government side speaking against the bill as useless and a sham. Their action in combatting the principle of the bill in Com- i mittee, instead of at the second reading, was warmly criticised. J

Mr Bbyce, who strongly opposed the bill, moved that the Chairman leave the cbair, which, if carried, would have had the effect of summarily quashing tbe bill. The Committee divided on the question. Ayes, 31: noes, 31. Mr Hamlin gave his casting vote in favour of the noes.

Mr Driver immediately rose and moved the adjournment of the debate with leavo to sit again, saving that many members who voted for the noes would have voted for tho ayes were they not afraid of their constituencies, *

The motion for adjournment was lost on tho voices,

Mr TUKNBUI—• then moved an addition to the second clause, excepting agricultural labourers and domestic servants from tbe operation of the bill. After considerable dis;U—ion, tho amend ment was negatived by 35 to 24. The Committee atrain divided on tbe question of clause 2, dec.ii ing that eight hours' labour should constitute a legal day's work, and the clause waa struck out by 30 to 24.

This left tho bill denuded of its declara tory clause, Indeed, the only clause in the measure waa the short title. The ludi crou.si.es3 of the situation so struck hon. members that; when the Chairman reported progress to tho Speaker the Legislative guffaws were lead and continuons,

\ Mr Green, nothing abaßhed at the mnti flation of his bantling, moved the fixing ol the third reading on Bth August, and inti. | mated bis intention of then moving that it ,be recommitted with a view to adding an ' additional clause.

The House divided op Mr Green's motion with following result: Ayes, 23; nots, 30 ihe mutilated remains of the Eieht tpatch. 11' Wtre thU3 giVCD the fcPW Ihe Law Practitioners Bill-Hie Measure again Rejected. * Sir Geoeoj Geey moved that the i Speaker leave the chair to enable the House _ to go into Committee on the Law Pr ac . tuioners Bill. When the Speaker put the question a volley of" Noes" was given from Minis eriahst.. and it was soon apparent that the uovernment intended to carry their opposition to the bill to the bitter ond. Ihe Speaker, on the voices . thought "tbe ayes had it," 355 upon Mr Hurst called for a division, which resulted—4yes, 34; Noes, 31. The result i was announced amidst loud applause and the bill was then allowed to go through Committee, without comment or amend, ment.

Sir Georoe Grey, seeing that he had a majority, moved that tbe third readim. take place on this question. The House again divided—Ayes, 32 • Noes, 32. The Speaker voted with the ayes.

The House again divided on the question that the bill pass -Ayes, 34; Noes, 34, The Speaker gave his casting vote'with the noes, and the bill was conse-iuentiv thrown out, J

The House adjourned at 12 o'clock,

MR Smuh, Agent-General of Victoria, has communicated with the authorities, and has pointed out that Victorian debentures offered an excellent and safe means of in* vestment for funds reclaimed in Chancery, THE FRENCH IN ANNAM. The Annamese are busily engaged in making preparations for the renewal of hot. tilities with tbe French troops. The former have retired to Saigon, which place they have surrounded with trenches. Owing to the paucity of numbers, the French geneials consider it unwise to renew the attack at present, and are awaiting the arrival of tb* reinforcements which have been despatched by Government. POSTAL REFORM. Mr Fawcett, Postmaster-General, stated In the House of Commons last night that he shortly would introduce a bill, the object of which would be the extension of postal orders. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CHOLERA. At Damietta every precaution is being taken by tbe authorities to prevent tha farther spread of cholera. Cordons have been drawn around afflicted places, and all persons suffering from the plague have been placed in close quarantine. In con* sequence of a belief that contagions diseases are widely disseminated by ministers of religion visiting different prisons and hospitals, orders bava been issued forbid ding tbem to enter these institutions. UXPECTED FAILURE OF HOP CROP. Severe storms, which have recently pre* vailed in the South of England, have done a large amount of damage to the hop crops, and fears are entertained tbat tbe harvest will be a poor one.

Hong Kong sales of Foo Chow tea show a maiktd improvement, and prices for tea generally are advancing. The Vholera Epidemic — The Quarantine Precautions-Out break at Malta and Brindisi. The German Government have despatched a m-dlcal commission to Fgypt to settle the doubt nxisting as to whether the disesse is cholera niorbu* or not. lt seems that the si read of the disease through the diffetont cities of Kj;ypt ia causing the greatest alarm in South .Europe, aod tbe Governments cf France and Italy have put in fores the moat stringent quarantine regulations. At Car* thage, Liberia, and Port bald trade is com* pletely paralysed. The epidemic is spieadinu with alarming rapidity, and bas now reached Malta and Brindisi, and tbe quarantine regulations are consequently being strictly enforced at both oi these placea. At Malta 21 persons, found to be infected, have been isolated, and three patients at Brindisi hare been placed in quarantine. Tbe ravages of the plague are of such an 'extensive natnre that the residents of infected local.* ties are fleeing away in all directions and a perfect panic prevails. COLONIAL NAVAL DEFENCES.
