§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEI wish to make a brief communication to the House. The House is aware from the regular organs that the health of the Speaker, unfortunately impaired by close attention to his duties, has not allowed him for some days past to take the Chair; nor can he do so for some little time. The Speaker has thought it expedient to leave town for Brighton, and he has done this with the sole and exclusive view of using the best means in his power for the earliest and most complete recovery, which it is evidently the interest of the Public Service that he should achieve, and I am quite certain it is the desire of the whole House, without any distinction between one section and another, that he should attain his purpose at the earliest moment.
