by communicating with the Lird dieelneun and tits uses
gistrates, and calling upon them to present and cheek par
cessions that may lead to those disturbances to the utmost of
their lower; we have likewise done so in England ; and I
can assure the house that her Majesty's government are
desirous, above all things, it should be generally known
that :my of this ostentatious parade, which rm.y lead to re-
ligious disputes, would be diiscourageml sad discountenanced
by them, and we do hope that the country will support as
in that determilation. (liver, hear.)

THE FATE OF MR. BOYD.
Mr. GOOLD inquired if any. instructions had been
given to Captain Benham to inquire into the fate of Mr.
Benjamin Boyd, who was supposed to have horn murdered
or to be detained captive in the Solomon Islands?
Captain BUNCOMBE said that particular and minute
instructions had been given to inquire as to the fate of Mr.
Boyd and to take measures for his release if still alive.
THE VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.
Lord SEYMOUR asked what steps were intended to he
taken between now and the assembling of the row parlia-
ment fur the ventilation of the house, and whether any-
thing would be done in accordance with the report of the
iammittee, which had been laid on the table on the subject,
or whether the whole question would be leR to be con-
sidered again.
Lord J. MANNERS was glad his noble friend had put
the question. The course he proposed to adopt was, that
the recommendations of thecommittee appointed to inquire
into the subject should be carried out ; and with the co-
operation of those gentlemen, to whose services that com-
mittee in their report had made complimeutary allusion,
steps would be taken to ftnpmve the lighting, warming,
and ventilation of the house. Ile had already communi-
cated with those g.ntlemen, sod they had been good
enough to promise that they would, during the recess,
co-operate with hint for that purpose, and he trusted that by
the aiil of their services the members of the new parliament
would find the house far more agreeable in those important
particulars than it had been found by the members of the
present parliament. (Hear, bear.)
THE RAJAH BROOKE.
-

Mr. ILUME thanked the present government for pro-
ducing papers iu reference to the Borneo piracies and the
conduct of Sir J. Brooke, which hail been retinoil by their
predecessors. limo only object in moving for tbose papers
was that the whole case might be fairly before parliament.
Sir J. Brooke had warned him by name that he would de-
mand no inquiry. He (Mr. Hume) would be glad to know
if any such demand hail been made to the government ?
For himself his only wish was that full justice should be
done, and that, if Sir J. Brooke had been unjustly accused,
he might have full opportunity of Muting all that had been
alleged against him.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was under-
stood to say that he hod no objection to en investigation, if
demanded ; but tru.ded his boo. friend would leave the
government to act on their own discretion in the matter.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.-PARLIAMENTARY
PAPERS. _ .

Mr. HUME reminded the right hnn. baronet the Se-
cretary for the Colonies that on the 16th of March certain
papers were ordered an reference to the lonian Islands,
he (Mr. Hume) having intimated at the time his intention
of moving for an inquiry. Ile wished to know why they
had not been delivered, and if they would yet be laid on the
table that day ?
Sir J. PAKINOTON was happy to state that he had
that morning laid the papers alluded to by his hon. friend
on the table of the house. (Hear, hear.)
Sir W. MOLESWORTII inquired if the letter expla-
natory of the arrangements with the New Zealand Com-
pany had been produced?
Sir J. PAKINGTON—Yes ; that is also on the table.
Mr. HUME observed that he had just been reminded by
an hon. friend near him that no more papers which had
been ordered by the present parliament would be delivered
to members after the house separated for the dissolution.
He trusted some arrangement would be made by which all
that had been ordered and not yet delivered In consequence
of the delay in printing would be sent during the recess to
the members of the present parliament. (hear, hear.)
The SPEAK Eli explained that the moment parliament was
dissolved his authority ceased, as did that of the present (louse
of Commons, and the usual practice was that no papers or-
dered by the house and remaining undelivered were de-
livered afterwards. He had no authority, and he appre-
hended such delivery could take place under the authority
of the government. .

Mr. lIUME hoped the government would exercise that
authority. (Hear. hear.)
Mr. 11. DENISON remarked that it would be much to
be regretted if papers already ordered were not to be deli-
vered after the dissolution. Ile hoped the government
would exercise their power as suggested by the Speaker.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not
aware that he had any authority in the matter; but if he
gave the order to circulate among the members of the pre•
sent House of Commons all papers ordered and not yet deli-
vered, be trusted his hon. friend (Mr. Hume) would join in
an indemnity to the government in the next parliament.
(Hear, and a laugh.) The better plan, however, would
probably be to vote an address to the crown (for which
there was yet time), and no doubt the delivery would take
place. (Hear.)
Mr. HUME would move then that an humble address be
presented to her Majesty praying that she will be gra-
ciously pleased to give directions that all papers ordered by
the House of Commons, and not vet printed, may be deli
vered to the present members. (Hear, hear.)
The question was put and agreed to nem. con.
TILE PROROGATION.

At a quarter put two o'clock the booming of cannon
announced her Majesty's arrival, and in lire minutes
afterwards,
Mr. PULMAN (the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod) en-
tend the house and summoned it immediately to attend
her Majesty in the House of Peers.
The Speaker, who was attired in hie court robes, at-
tended by the Serjeant-at-Arms, and followed by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Secretary Walpole, Secretary
Sir John Pakington, Mr. Henley, as representing the mi-
nistry (Mr. Hume having moved, after the usual ballot for
precenence, that the ministers should head the procession
after the Speaker), Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Hume, and about
+5O members of the house, in the order in which they had
been balloted, at once obeyed her Majesty's command, and
proceeded to the House of Peers. After exactly 20 minutes'
absence, the house returned, and the Speaker having read
her Majesty's speech at the table, around which the few
members who came back with him stood uncovered the
while, he shook hands with Mr. Henley, the Chancellor fa
the Exchequer, and a few others of the leading members,
and the business of the third parliament of Queen Victoria
closed at 20 minutes to 3 o'clock.
