HOUSE OF COMMONS.
TLURVDAY, NOW. VS.
to coresequesee of the Order fur u call of the House this day,
sad of the interest excited by the expressed communication
from ber Majesty, the Members began, at an early hour to
aseemble in considerable numbers.
Mr. Hiibliimse, and some other Members, were down as
early as ten o'clock, which, we believe, was the hour of the
day to which, iu strictness, the House stood adjourned.
Mr. Brougham, when he communicated to the Speaker that
a message would be seat down from the Queen, hinted at the
mole time the expediency of his taking the chair at one
o'clock, if there was a sufficient number of Members present
in order that there might be sufficient time to receive the
message before the meeting of the Lords.
At one o'clock accordingly, the whole of her hllijesty's
Counsel, who are Members, except Mr. BrouAluen, who
was detained professionally in the Court of King's Beech,
were in their places, besides nearly one hundred other
Members, chiefly of (be opposition party.
The Speaker was, however, looked for in vain.—lt was
vadentood that Lord Castlereagh had been clowned with
him for a coasiderable pert of the forenoon.
The Speaker did not enter the House until within eight
minutes of two o'clock.
The readineof the prayers occupied the House until ex.
wiry two o'clock.
Mr. DENMAN rose at two o'clock, and suid.--" Mr.
Speaker, 1 bold in my hand ■ message, which I am cum.
mended by her Majesty the Queen to present to this House.
—(Loud cries of hear I hear !)
M this sasseolet(a mimeo past two o'clock). Mr. Overuse,
she 4), puty Usher of the Bieck Rod, tapped at the dour,
and immediately entered. This interruption accasioued
great uproar. Aboutafty Members rose in their seats, and
the geaerul cry was, " Mr. Heitman, Mr. Denmant"...
Withdraw, withdraw !" but the noise was so great, that
that gentleman iu vain attempted to be beard l and in tee
'lndic of the tumult,
Mr. Qtrisaise proceeded thus, althoegh it was impossible
for him► to be heard from the Chair—" Mr. Speaker, the
Lords Commissioners, appointed by virtue of his Majesty's
-Commission, commuted the immediate attendance of his
Honourable House in the House of Peers."
Cries of 64 Shame, shame!" were now reiterated on all
sides, and the utmost indignation wee manifested by a Hum-
ber of Members who found bey Majesty's message thus
treated.
The Speaker instantly quitted the Chilli., followed by
Lord Castlereagh and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to
obey the summons of the Peers. The utmost confusion pre-
smiled at this niumeut t and it would lie iu vain to describe
the tumult which took place in the body of the House. The
loudest and must indignant cries of" Shame I" were reiterated
throuehoitt the House; and the Speaker, followed by his
Majesty's Ministers uud several other .Members, advanced
towards the door, un his say to the Lords, iu the midst of
of the must disconcerting uproar.
Mr. Deumaii, during this remained on bin legs
holding in his baud her hiiiiesty's Ali:nage. He was sur-
rounded by the most distinguished Member. oh' the opposinun,
ho, as well us many independent Mcml►crs who generally
vine on the other side, seemed utterly astouished ut what had
occurrid.
Mr. TIERNEY rose amidst loud cheers, and appealed to
the Speaker v hether one nerd that bad (allege from the
Lurd s Messenger had been heard c and how thee did the
bleaker know that he was sainted in the other House
at all!

The Speaker proceeded to Ilse other (louse, attended bv
