§ Mr. Alderman Wood moved the third reading of the Orphan's Fund Debt Bill. Mr. Alderman C. Smith objected to the motion. Upon which the House divided: Ayes 25, Noes 6. There being, accordingly, only thirty-one members present, the House adjourned as a matter of course. This unexpected adjournment was a source of considerable disappointment to numbers who attended in the gallery to hear the continuation of the debate on Mr. Brougham's motion, relative to the trial and condemnation of Missionary Smith. Such an abrupt termination to the proceedings of the evening could not have been anticipated a few minutes before it occurred, as there were, at that time, nearly a hundred members in the House. It was stated as the cause of the sudden disappearance of so many 1078 members, that Mr. Graham's Balloon was just then visible from the windows, and, that several members having gone out to see it, were thereby shut out from the division.
