"ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL."

VOTE OF CENSURE CARRIED, BUT NOT ENTERED ON JOURNALS OF HOUSE. Wellington, to-day. The discussion continued till 11.20, when Mr Mackenzie's amendment was negatived by 36 to 27. Mr Rollcslon moved the following addition to the Premier's motion, "and further rogrets that the Premier should have taken occasion on overhearing the remark by the member for Hawke's Bay to the Chairman of Committees to make a statement reflecting on the honor of the member for Hawke's Bay to the effect that he was endeavoring to gag the Premier and make him sit down, a state ment which was not justified by the words overheard." This was also lost by 36 to 27. After further debate, the Premier said he had never performed with greater regret any act than proposing the motion now before the House, but the ruling of the Chair had been disobeyed and it was a question whether the Standing Orders should be act absolutely at defiance. The motion was the simplest and mildest ho could think of. At 1.20 a.m. the original motion was carried by 3(5 to 26., and the Sergeant-at-Arms sent for Captain Russell, to whom tlie resolution come to was communicated. Captain Russell, in submitting to the resolution of the House, said the conduct of the Premier for some time had stretched his powers of endurance, and that night they had snapped. The Premier said his remark was not intended offensively, and on lie moved that the motion bo not entered on the journals of tho House. (Cheers.) Mr Monk : He is a good old Englishman after all. Captain Kussell thanked the House for the consideration shown him. Later.— When Capt. Russell persistently stated that he would not withdraw the lie direct which had been given the Premier, but. would submit himself to the decision of the House, it was hardly expected that, Mr Seddon would behave in the maguauimous

manner in which he did by moving that the resolution be not entered on the journals of tbo House.
