Ond save the Li 4men.

The meeting of parliament on Thursday, the 4th No-
vember (says the Utuerver), will be for the election of
Speaker and the swearing in of members, which will occupy
sem days. The Queen's speech will not be delivered until
the felkiwing week, when the ml " business " of parlia-
ment will begin. The precedent of 1847 will be followed
peettiebeely. The new parliament, elected in the sum-
mer of 1847, was called together in consequence of the
Lush hmine and the commercial &ewes in that year. It met
ea Tharsday, the 18th Novensber,and was opened by 1:11011121F
Ni., when the Lord Chancellor intimated that her Majesty's

be Muted on the following Tuesday. Meanwhile he signi-
fied bee Majesty's pleasure that the House of Commons

Fevre barieg been proposed by Lord Seymour, and sec Jaded

encomium, by Lord George Henan& and Sir R. Inglis.
Oo the 23rd (Tuesduy)—the interval having been occupied
la swearing in members—the " business" of the session
began. Tile Queen's Speech was read by the Marquis of
Lansdowne. Following the precedent of this year, the
business of parliament might be ready on Tuesdsy, the 9th
of November; but it is still thought that Thursday, the
11th—the day originally filed—will be the real commence-
ment of the session.

CONVOCATION.—A report has reached us, which
Sot, we believe, without foundation, that Lord Derby and
his colleagues have resolved to advise her llilajerty to per-
mit the Houses of Convocation to sit for the despatch of

issued, empoeri.ig these ecclesiastical asrouthlies to eater
upon the eonsideration of such smitten as may be thereby
submitted to them.— TIM'S.

=rland, the Queen has appointed Captain the Bari
C. 8.. &c., to be one of her Majesty's naval incite.
