PROROGATION. OF PARLIAMENT,

Parliament was yesterday further prorogued by Royal
Commission until Tuesday, the 3rd of February next,
then to meet for the despatch of business.

The Royal Commissioners having taken their seats at
the foot of the throne, the Lord Chancellor directed the
Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod to summon " the Corn •
mons "to hear the commission read. In obedience to this
direction one of the clerks and the doorkeeper of the
lower house attended at the bar, as the representatives of
her Majesty's most faithful Commons, and the commission
was read accordingly.
The Lord Chancellor, in compliance with the terms of
the commission, then declared that the parliament of
Great Britain and Ireland stood further prorogued until
the day already named, and that it was her Majesty's
royal will and pleasure that the said parliament should
then be held and sit at Westminster for the despatch of
divers urgent and important affairs ; and the lords
spiritual and temporal, and the knights, citizens, and
burgesses, and the commissioners for shires and burghs of
the House of Commons were required to give their atten-
dance accordingly.
The ceremony was simply one of form.

granddaughter of a general of the first empire ; and

A letter from Vienna, in the Presse of Brussels, says :
" The Princess de Rohan and the Marquis Canetella, have
gone to Frohsdorff to visit Count de Chambord. You are
aware that the Connt de Paris has demanded in marriage
the hand of a Princess of Dlecklenbourg, and that the King
of Prussia, uncle to the princess, has declared against the
demand. It appears that the visit of the two personages
above-mentioned to Count de Chambord is connected with
this matter.",
The Dowager Lady Raglan, widow of the lamented
Commander-iu-Chiet of the Army iu the East, is about to

shire, where the remains of the veneratel general are
deposited with those of his noble ancestors of the house cf
Beaufort. The monument is of elegant design, and em-
bellished with warlike attributes. A. mural tablet is also
to be erected in the military church in Birdcage-walk, St •
James's-park, to the memory of the respected Field-
Marshal, opposite to a memorial erected by the officers of
the Guards to the memory of his son, Major Fitzroy
Somerset, who was killed at the battle of Moocikee.
It has been reported that the late disgraceful robberies
of jewellery, &c., perpetrated in Paris by some " Spanish
dancers," were committed by persons belonging to the
troupe at the Haymarket. " Such an assertion," writes
Senora Perea Nena, " I beg to state is utterly without
fonudation or truth, inasmuch as the offenders themselves
and those connected with them are not, and never have
been, engaged by or known to me "
