THE OPENING OP PARLIAMENT.

The Times is informed that, in opening Parliament, be
Majesty, instead of using the old unwieldy state coach,
will occupy what is called " &dress carriage;" that the
robes of state, instead of being actually worn by her
Majesty, will be laid upon the throne; and that the
speech itself, instead of being read by her Majesty, will
be read by the Lord Chancellor. The above arrange-
ment has not, it appears, given unmixed satisfaction.
The Pall Mall Gazette says—"lt appears that her
Majesty, thoinch she is to be present at the opening of
Parliament, will not herself open it. The state coach
will be disused, the robes of state will be laid upon the
throne, and the speech will be read by the Lord
Chancellor. No one in England is likely to object to
any arrangement which may save her Majesty fatigue,
or to say a word in defence of those lumbering absurd-
ties—state coaches—whieh ought to have been banished
long since; but surely there can be no need for placing
robeo upon the throne, as if there lay in them some
oonstitutional virtue. The Queen has obviously
determined to make her first public appearance in
widow's weeds—a decision upon which no one has any
right to comment, but in that ease it might be as well
to dispense with the 'state robes' altogether, and not
exhibt them on a chair as specimens of monarchical
millinery. Cereatonialeis essential to a Constitutional
Court, and chamberlains should beware of anything
that may render it ridiculous."
