THE SCENE IN THE HOUSE.
The opinion of the most experienced members of the House respecting Friday afternoon's scene is that it was largely brought about by a little want of tact on the part of the chairman. Ho is considered to be too fond of making unnecessary explaaations, and it was one of these that brought on the trouble, for it confused members, and they could not understand which was the resolution he was putting and which waa his explanation. Thus it was what Mr Hutchison originally mistook, and then, when he consequently declared that the chairman had put a different motion, the Chairman refused to hear his version and persisted in demanding an instant withdrawal, which, of course, Mr Hutchisou could not give without stating what he believed to be untrue. Mr Hutchison, no doubt, was too aggressive and unconoiliatory in manner, but if the Chairman had kept cuol there would have been no dis turbauce. However, everyone was glad when Sir 6. Grey undertook the part of amicus curtr, and brought about a pacilication.
