THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AT CHURCH.—TO-day
being marked as the Feast of the Ascension io the Church
of England Calendar, no committees were allowed to sit,
and no parliamentary business of any kind was transacted,
on the supposition that members of the House of Commons
desired to attend the morning service of the church. There
was an old custom, but it has fallen into disuse, for the
house, headed by the Speaker, to attend Divine ser-
vice in St. Margaret's Church on the morning of Ascen-
sioe-day, and although the observance is not now
honoured, the presumption still is that Mr. Speaker and
honourable members are at church. Those who went to St.
Margaret's this morning for the purpose of seeing this illus-
trious branch of the third estate must have been grievously
disappointed, for Mr. Speaker went out on horseback, and
there was not a single member in the church. Sir Robert
Inglis used to be a regular attendant on Ascension-day, and
Mr. Spooner followed his example until advancing years
comjielled him to abandon the practice.
Enormous quantities of mackerel are now being
caught off the back of the Isle of Wight.
