Parliamentary. Wellington, Friday Nig- ht. is dll sitting, having been sitting contia(.ously all night. |ir Sheehan, who laid been speakb' l'at 7.30 resumed at eight. He was •h-pvrod byMrFitzherbert, who spoke fi’ii 8 till* 11.20. Ilr Montgomery on his own ro-H-'iisibility suggested as a compromise

that the Bill should not come into operation till after next Parliament, ami Provincial Councils should D - prevmitcd enuring into any new maurai-ts or passing- am' Urdu a nee till limn. bur Donald McLean mtimaud the Government were prepared ft. consider any propositions made in a fair and reasonable spirit.

After a few words from Mr Gibbs in the same 1 direction, Mr O’Neill referred to the petition presented by bur George Grey', and pointed out that the Thames constituency was as large as that of Auckland, and both the Thames and Coromandel wore in favour of immediate abolition. Mr Swanson recommended an adjournment, bo that the Government and leaders of the Opposition might confer. If not, they must light it to the latter cud. Mr Wood opposed all compromises, and intimated in the most decided

language that the Opposition would talk against time until Parliament expired by the elihixion of time, as that was the wish of the people. Mr Stout followed, and road for hours from a largo pile of books extracts upon federal government. The Mouse having resumed at two o’clock, after sitting since ten, Mr Ward began speaking, but a discussion was started upon the Sergeant-at-arms taking away the mace. The Speaker came in and opened the I louse at 2.30 with prayer. A discussion followed, Messrs Kcid, Ijuiiii}’, and oilier Opposition members maintaining that the Speaker taking the chair without any motion made rendered the proceedings irrrognlar. A number of reasons were adduced to show that the proceedings were invalid, and that the Speaker should again take the chair and with the help of the House set tle the matter. Three times MrO’Eorko interposed by ruling that no irregularity had occurred, and that the House was properly in Committee, but the discussion was kept ii]) on various pleas. In the course of the discussion, Mr Stafford, replying to Mr Stout, who said they would keep the majority there four months, said there was no record of a minority having beaten a majority, and Parliamentary usages afforded hundreds of moans of a majority carrying its point despite any effortsof thc most decided of minorities. Maj or Atkinson said an Opposition of 23 vaulted to govern the House. They boasted that the Bill would not ho advanced a stage, but it had been advanced despite all threats, and ho had no doubt would bo passed through Committee in a few weeks, as ho thong]it a month of sitting’s such as last night would amply satisfy the Opposition. Mr Bunny ro-iternted the threat of

sitting out the present Parliament. They wore so well organised and so united they could do it easily. They would harden to it every day, and would sec out Government yet. The Opposition members kept talking till 5.30, when the House rose.

Tho House resumed at 7.30, Mr Swanson continued his remarks for about two minutes when Mr Murray took up tho discussion, and interspersed his speech with letters and extracts from newspapers, and upon request, read one letter regarding the

II airraid Bush twice over at 10 minutes past eight. Mr Bunny said something to Mr Murray, who cut short ids remarks, and Mr Atkinson moved that progress he reported. Agreed to. Tho Native Minister then said it was desirable that the present state of tilings should ho terminated, as cert ain proposals had boon made to tho Government by tho Opposition regarding tho question at issue. Ho would move that tho House adjourn till Tuesday next, when tho Government would consider those proposals, and ho hoped that by that time they should ail meet in hotter temper.

Motion agreed to. It is uudorstod that a meeting' of Government supporters -will bo held to-morrow, and that the proposals of the Opposition will then be submitted and considered.
