The members of the Commons shortly afterwards appeared at the bar, headed by Mr. Ley, Chief Clerk of the House. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel walked down to the house arm in arm shortly after two o'clock. The noble Duke and the right hon. baronet were loudly and most enthusiastically cheered. The gallery was not open for the admission of strangers, but we understand that on the appearance of the Commons at the bar, THE LORD CHANCELLOR informed them in the usual form, that the Lords Commissioners had it in command from her Majesty to direct her faithful Commons to repair to their own house and proceed at once to the election of a Speaker, and to present the honourable member upon whom their choice might fall at the bar of the house to-morrow at two o'clock for her Majesty's approval. The Commons then withdrew. Shortly afterwards the gallery was opened, prayers having been read by the Right Honourable and Rev. Lord Bayning, in the absence of the bench of bishops. On our admission we found the Lord Chancellor at the table taking the oaths. The following peers were then sworn, via., the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Westminster, the Marquis of Normanby, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Verulam, Viscount Duncannon, Earl Sefton, Lord Hill, Lord Lang dale, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord Willoughby, Lord Straf ford, &c. The Duke of Wellington was the first peer who subscribed the parliamentary roll; the next was Viscount Duncannon. The swearing in of peers will continue till four o'clock, at which hour the house will adjourn till ten o'clock on Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY The doors of the house were opened to-day for the admis sion of members shortly before one o'clock, but for the first half hour very few presented themselves, it being generally known that two o'clock was the hour appointed for meeting. A great crowd assembled in the neighbourhood of the house, and loudly cheered those members who were recog nised. Sir J. C. Hobhouse and other members of the present ad ministration entered the house bet'ore two o'clock. Several of the leading conservative members, amongst whom were Lord Stanley, Mr. Goulburn, Sir J. Graham, and others, were also early in their attendance. At two o'clock Mr. Ley, chief officer, took his seat at the table, at which time both sides of the house were crowded with members, and the scene was one of great animation. At half past two Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the table, and addressing Mr. Ley ; said— " I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners to sum mon the immediate attendance of the hon. house to the House of Lords, for the purpose of hearing the Royal Com mission on the meeting of Parliament read." Mr. Ley, followed by a great number of members, pro ceeded to the House of Lords. Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell entered the house shortly before the Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the table. The right hon. baro net and the noble lord cordially shook hands. ELECTION OF SPEAKER, At two o'clock this morning this town was visited by a a thunder-storm of more than usual violence, but providen tially of short duration. The preceding day had been fine throughout, with a freshness in the atmosphere by no means portending anything like the electric termination which fol lowed. Soon after ten o'clock the sky became visibly over cast. and large thunder drops announced a decided change in the state of the weather. Several showers of this kind— accompanied with a tremendous fall of hail—fell before twelve, though neither severe nor lasting in their dura tion, with an occasional appearance of lightning, and very distant thunder. Towards two o'clock, however, it threat ened more immediate collision with the town, and within a few minutes of that precise time, a most terrific clap of thunder announced a more decided attack on our re sidences ; the lightning of the pale blue cast first descended on the church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, striking the spire within a few feet of the top, dislodging a very considerable portion of the masonry, compared with the attenuated form of that portion of the building, so that thorough repair will he required at the summit. It gradually pursued its course downwards, dislodging stones and fragments of stones in its path, and sweeping with it in one instance a considerable portion of exterior ornament, finding its way out eventually at the roof. Although severely struck, however, the build ing itself, does not appear to have suffered material injury. The direction of the storm may be accurately marked by the damage it inflicted apparently at both extremities of its roe 4,14 . 01 tiraa# oi 034 iiity ;;',wilitit i rikiA 4 V 41,1104 1 11 ext Ont Of koinega c ap trawacto4, Bonded Wheat; at the same time attracted very little no tice, and remain much the same in value as on Friday.

On the return of the members from the House of Lords, the election of Speaker was immediately proceeded with. Lord WOESLEY proposed the Right Hon. C. Shaw Le fevre as an individual in every respect qualified to fill the chair of that house. That right honourable gentleman, by his impartiality and kind attentions to every member, had endeared himself to them all. (Cheers.) He was happy there was not any opposition to the re-election of the right hon. gentleman. After a few complimentary remarks on the talents and fitness of Mr. Lefevre to till the chair, the noble lord concluded by proposing that right hon. gentleman as Speaker for the ensuing parliament. Mr. E. BULLER seconded the motion, in doing which the hon. member said he exceedingly regretted that this duty did not fall on some one more competent to perform the task. He could not, however, consistently shrink from seconding the nomination of a gentleman so highly qualified to fill the chair. Mr. Lefevre had, during the last parlia ent, satisfied both sides of the house of his fitness for the . ;-gh office which it was now proposed to elect him to. Under his management the house might be assured of business being gularly conducted. (Hear.) Sir R. PEEL said, on this occasion he should follow the ex ample of 1837, when Mr. Abercrombie was proposed to fill the chair, which proposition was agreed to without opposi tion. On the present occasion he should not offer any op position to the gentleman who had been proposed and seconded to fill the office of Speaker. The right hon. baronet then proceeded to quote a number of instances in which the gen tleman who had previously filled the chair on the assembling of a new parliament was re-elected, and that was a principle which he had always contended for. The right hon. gentle man now proposed had not disappointed the expectations of the house. He had exhibited the greatest possible impar tiality, and shewn in every way his fitness and qualification for the high office. He, therefore, cordially supported the motion. (Cheers.) Mr. S. LEFEVRE shortly expressed his thanks for the high honour which had been conferred upon him. Such an unani mous mark of approbation was a stimulus to future exertions. He could not sufficiently express his gratitude to the house. The right hon. gentleman was then conducted to the chair by the noble lord who proposed and seconded him. After taking his seat, Lord J. RUSSELL complimented the right hon. gentleman on his re-election, confirmed as it was by the unanimous sanction of both sides of the house. They had in the elec tion of the gentleman now in the chair, a guarantee that the proceedings of the house would be regularly conducted, and the strictest impartiality on all occasions exercised. (Loud cheers.) The noble lord congratulated the right hon. gentle man on his being appointed a second time to the high and important office of Speaker of the House of Commons. the house at a qui;rter past three o'clock adjourned until Friday. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY At two o'clock the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lans downe, the Marquis of Normanby, the Earl of Errol, and Viscount Duncannon, as Lords Commissioners, took their seats on the bench in front of the throne. Prayers having been read, The Lord Chancellor directed the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod (Sir Augustus Clifford) to summon the Com mons to attend at their lordships's bar. Immediately afterwards Mr. Speaker Lefevre, accompanied by a considerable number of members, appeared at the bar, when the right hon. gentleman said—" I have to acquaint your lordships that, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, her Majesty's faithful Commons have, conformably with their ancient rights and privileges, proceeded to the election of a speaker. The choice, however unworthy, has fallen upon me, and I now submit myself to her Majesty's royal pleasure." The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Mr. Speaker, we are com manded by !her Majesty to assure you, that her Majesty is sensible of your zeal for the public service, and your anxiety for the efficient performance of those duties which her Ma jesty's faithful Commons have selected you to discharge ; and that her Majesty most readily approves of and confirms their choice. Mr. Speaker LEFEVRE.—I submit myself, with profound gratitude and humility, to her Majesty's royal will and plea sure. It now becomes my duty, in the name and on behalf of the Commons of the United Kingdom, to lay claim to those undoubted rights and privileges to which they have been heretofore entitled ; more especially, freedom from ar rest and molestation for themselves and their servants, free dom of speech in debate, and free access to her Majesty upon all occasions that may require it ; and that her Majesty will be most graciously pleased to put the most favourable con struction on all their proceedings. For myself, I h ave to pray that, if any of her Majesty s faithful Commons should fall into any error, it may be imputed to me, and not to her Majesty's faithful Commons. The Lord CH ANCELLOR. - Mr. Speaker, we have it further in command from her majesty to inform you, that her majesty most readily confirms all the liberties, rights, and privileges which have been granted to, or conferred upon, her majesty's faithful commons by any of her majesy s royal predecessors. With respect to yourself, sir, though you stand in no need of such assurance, we are commanded by her majesty to assure you that her majesty will put the most favourable con struction upon all your words and actions, as well as on those of her majesty's faithful commons. The commons then withdrew. _ _ _ Between three and four o'clock the Duke of Northumber land, Lord Lyndhurst, and the Marquis of Wellesley entered the house and took the oaths. The noble marquis looked in good health and spirits for one of his very advanced age. At four o'clock the number of peers who were sworn was exactly one hundred. Their lordships adjourned at four, to half-past two o'clock HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY A few minutes after two o'clock the Speaker, in full dress, entered the house, and took his seat by the table, at which time there were about fifty members present. At a quarter after two, Sir A. Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, ad vanced to the table, and spoke as follows :—" The lords authorized by her majesty's commission desire the immediate attendance of this house to the House of Peers." The SPEAKER then left the house, followed by nearly all the members who were present. In a few minutes, the SPEAKER returned to the House of Commons, and took the chair. At this period there were 150 members in the house. Mr. S. LEFEVRE then spoke as follows :—" I have to inform the house, that I have been to the House of Peers, where the lords authorised by her Majesty's commission signified the royal approval of the choice which the house has made of a Speaker, whereupon I claimed at the bar for this hon. house all its undoubted privileges, freedom from arrest, free access to her Majesty, and freedom of debate. I trust," he continued, " I may now be permitted again to offer to the house a sincere expression of my gratitude for the honour it has conferred upon me. I cannot pretend to discharge the duties of the office in which I am placed with the ability it may require, but I feel that I shall constantly need the in dulgence and assistance of the house; without that assist ance my best efforts will be unavailing, but with it I hope to be able to conduct the business of the house in a manner satisfactory to it, and beneficial to the country. (Hear, hear.) I have now to remind the house, that our first duty is to proceed to take the oaths prescribed by law, without which members cannot be qualified to take their seats." The Speaker was the first member of the house sworn. The oaths were administered to him by Mr. Ley, the clerk of the house. The members for the different counties were then called, according to alphabetical arrangement. They assembled round the table, took the usual oaths, delivered in their qualifications to the clerk, subscribed their names in a book, and were introduced to, and shook hands with, the Speaker. Nearly 200 members up to the period of adjournment had taken the oaths and their seats. The SPEAKER adjourned the house at 5 o'clock till 11 o'clock on Saturday. SATURDAY. The whole period of this day was occupied in both houses in swearing the members. Mr. O'Connell says the new corporation will be able to make 700 liberal freemen in Dublin. peoplePu iL fr o o xi m s s Sz h itT p i e o t ig ho . ltaystofweaebkouotnla2 tour r n o g f where the Su s p ens i on B r id ge i s to b e pl ace d, t wo you e n h g i pleasure to Clifto n , on reac hi ng the summit of the cliffs en SITUATION.—Asa w a e P re ar of the number, Jacob Hodges and Benjamin H a d m tch, v entured in the suspended basket which swings beneath bar of iron about 700 feet in length, at the altitude of about 240 feet above the surface of the water.

The James Ray sailed the day previous for Buenos Ayres that the building was struck by the second great shock, or explosion of the electric fluid, at about twenty minutes past two o'clock. The clock hands on the south side of the steeple stopped at that hour, some stones having fallen amongst the works. The clock hands on the east side, how ever, are said to have indicated half-past one o'clock, when first seen this morning; but of this some doubt exists; and it is reasonable to suppose that the clock, at least, was not affected till the latter shock, otherwise the hands on the south side would not have gone on. The appearance of the spiral part of the steeple, particu larly on the west and north-west sides, is alarming, a large rent or aperture in the masonry, with abrazion of the outer stone-work being apparent, in a winding or spiral direction down the cone, commencing about two-thirds its height from the base, and going more than half round the steeple. A large quantity of stone was dislodged from its position, and fell in large fragments, strewing the ground immediately round the steeple, and even the opposite street. The round mouldings, or outward groining of the corners of the oc tagonal spire are broken off to a great extent on the north and west, but those on the east and south-east appear to have sustained no injuiy. In one part of the rent, an entire stone or nearly so is forced out, leaving a large aperture which admits the light. The great height and shattered condition of the spire ren ders it necessary, for the public safety, to station policemen to prevent persons from passing that part of Pitt-street be tween Kent-street and Cornwallis-street. Our reporter, however, obtained admission to the interior of the church, and finally, accompanied by the clerk, ascended the steeple, walked on the roof of the church, and got into the bell-loft— the highest floor—to ascertain the damage. On the roof of the colonnade, on the north side, projecting continuously with the roof of the church from the base of the steeple, large fragments of stones are strewed about, and five large holes are made by others through the slates and woodwork, as if produced by cannon balls. A portion of the capital of one of the Corinthian columns in the upper story of the steeple, has imbedded itself in the lath-work under the roof. Several holes are also formed in the roof of the church on the same side by the stones that have fallen, and the rain has consequently come through the roof of the aisle, in several places. The electric fluid appears to have escaped from the steeple by the stone work immediately under the east clock, and close to the ridge of the church roof. Several stones are there much broken, and outwardly abrupted, as if caused by an explosion from within. In the interior of the steeple pieces of the broken stone from the spire above are thickly strewed in the bell loft. One of them, apparently of nearly a hundred weight, has, in its fall, struck the axle tree of the bell, and the strong frame in which it hangs. The bell, which is about one yard and a half in diameter at the mouth, was driven from its pendant position on one side of the frame work, and now rests, on that side, on the floor, surrounded by broken stones and rubbish. From this point the steeple was visible interiorly to its top. One of the huge stones in the western arched window of the bell-loft is loosened from its position, and considerably broken. There are also slight appearances of the electric fluid having here and there touched the stones in the interior of the tower ; but nothing of con sequence. The building generally, indeed, with the excep tion of the spiral part, may be considered uninjured. Scaf folding may, we think, be erected from the lower loop holes to take down and rebuild the top. It is somewhat remarkable that St. Michael's Church was closed for about six weeks prior to last Sunday, for the pur pose of being cleaned and re-painted. It is now necessary to announce, that owing to the dangerous state of the top of the spire in the event of a gale of wind, Divine Service will not be performed within it until further notice. The storm, as experienced by those on board ship in the river, was at once sublime ane terrific. Lieutenant Willson, commander H. M. S. Etna, lying in the Sloyne, describes the storm in a most interesting manner, but we have not room in our second edition to particularize. He states that the first terrific flash of lightning appeared to strike the Mer sey opposite the town, and the Etna vibrated from the mast head to the keel, so that all on board conceived for a moment that she was shaken to pieces. The parties on deck (including Captain Willson, who kept his own watch) lost their sight for several seconds, but on recovering found that no damage was done to the ship. The second flash appeared to evolve from the southern extremity of a dark cloud, and flashed from one end of the town to the other. This was probably the flash that struck both St. Michael's, in the south, and St. Martin's, in the north. The hail, intermingled with rain, came down with a weight and noise that threatened personal injury to those exposed to it; and must, we fear, have thrashed down the crops in the ffelds, now opproximating, and that has attained maturity. The wind during the storm ranged round the circuit of the compass, and the elemental commotion combined the grand and fearful. This afternoon the weather hi again fine, with a breeze from the north-west. There does not appear to have been any minor damage in flicted on our dwellings in its passage ; it is certain, however, that the two chief calamities, by which two of our finest churches will probably be put to some troublesome, although not expensive repair, formed the boundaries of the storm, the short space of twenty minutes including the whole of its greatest fury. Such torrents of rain as accompanied it in its progress we are seldom called to witness. In the morn ing the rain was for a short time renewed with all its violence, with a mixture of hail. It is to be hoped, from the defined character of the storm over the town itself, that no more general effects were experienced from it in other parts of the kingdom, or otherwise, with the heavy blade which the present crops present, we fear it will be pro ductive of unusual damage to the agriculturist. We trust, however, and have reason to believe, that such was not the case, and that the crops will be spared a few weeks longer, when they will be safely secured, and deposited in the garner.

The arrivals of English, Irish, and foreign produce since our report of this day se'nnight, furnish collectively a liberal supply of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal ; with a mode rate accession of Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, as specified below ; to which we may add, 15,806 quarters of Canadian Wheat, and 78,926 barrels of Flour now available for con sumption. . ' ' . _ The favourable weather noticed last week, was suddenly interrupted by thunder and heavy rain in the course of Fri day night, and remains very unsettled until yesterday, w hi c h was fine; last night, however, the storm returned with still greater violence, yet this morning again presents a brighter aspect, with the mercury rising nearly to fair. Notwithstanding these frequent changes, the accounts re ceived from Mark-lane have not only counteracted any im.. provement here, but have occasioned a further decline to-day, reducing our quotations for all fine Wheats 6d to 8d per 70 MANCHESTER.—The beautiful weather we have had for the last two or three days has had the effect of cheering the drooping spirits of all our commercial men ; for, in spite of the slur cast upon the friends of the Corn Law League, we do not believe that one individual exists amongst them but is pleased with the splendid weather we have enjoyed for the last few days. Although no actual improvement has taken place in either the demand or price of goods, we find the spirit of inquiry abroad ; and if the fine weather only con tinue, confidence will soon be restored, and then we have hope of an improvement. Many houses are waiting to see if the new parliament will promise us some commercial reforms to benefit us. We think that the parliament can do much, if they be in earnest to accomplish good; but we believe that the spinners and manufacturers can do more, if they would only act in concert and imitate the Liverpool tradesmen, and get the best profit they can, instead of endeavouring to sell cheaper than their neighbours. The plan in Liverpool is to get the highest price thay can ; but here most men at tempt to sell cheaper than others in the same trade. In Li verpool this week cotton is to 4- per pound higher. In Manchester the price of goods and yarns is stationary; and, if any quantity of goods must be sold, lower rates have been taken. Power-loom printers (27-inch) may be quoted, 66's, 5s 3d to 5s 74d; 72's, 5s 9d to 6s lid.—Manchester Adver tiser. LEEDS.—We are glad to observe a continued improve ment in the demand for woollens. Owing to the firmness of the wool-market, and the difficulty of realizing any consider able advance upon the recent prices of woollen goods, the clothiers are apprehensive that they will be unable to replace their stocks on the terms offered, and, as they hold out for an advance, the amount of sales is to some extent limited. The want of assortment in the Mixed Cloth-hall is also another impediment to an extensive business. Still, there was a very good market on Saturday ; and, on Tuesday, there was a fair business done, but principally in the White Cloth hall. STATE OF TRADE LIVERPOOL INFIRMARY REPORT August 21, 1840.

The sales are only 3000 bales, all of which have been taken by the trade, and the market closes with a somewhat subdued tone, com pared with the middle of the week.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AuG. 20 corroN MARKET. AUGUST 23 The demand for Cotton this morning was very general, and bid fair for large business, but the unwillingness of buyers to give the late advance caused them to " fight shy," and purchase in very small quantities, consequently the market has had a desponding appearance, and only 3000 to 3500 bales have been sold at Satur day's prices, with a slight change in favour of the purchaser. COTTON MARKET-WEEKLY REPORT The improvement in the state of the weather has given holders more confidence, and a larger business has been done than for some time past, the trade, speculators and exporters having pur chased freely. Prices of American are id, and, in some instances, id per lb. higher ; in other descriptions no improvement can be noticed. 7000 American have been taken on speculation, and 1900 American, 500 Surat, and 200 Peruvian for export.
