PROROGATION

OF

To ARLIAMEN T•

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS:

Each annual repetition of the ceremony of the proro-
gation of Parliament presents so little diversity from its
predecessors, that there is now little left to be said
of it. Her Majesty left Buckingham Palace
about two o'clock in the State carriage, pre-
ceded by the Officers of the Household
and Ladies in Waiting. The cortege took the usual
route and arrived at the Victoria Tower, by which her
Majesty entered the House, at about a quarter past two.
After the seremony, her Majesty returned to Backing.
ham Palace in the same manner.

Their Lordships assembled at Twelve o'clock, Lord
REDEsDALE presiding.
SUITORS IN CHANCERY RELIEF BILL.

The standing orders having been suspended with re-
ference to this Bill, it received a second and third read-
ing, and was passed.
About one o'clock the Peers began to arrive
in con-
siderable numbers. The Duke of Wellington was, as
usual, one of the first. The Duke of Cambridge, the
Earl of Derby, and the Duke of Northuraberlaad were
among the earliest arrivals. The attendance of
Peeresses was unusually great, and the whole appear-
ance of the apace in the body of the House
and the galleries reserved for the ladles was more bril-
liant than we remember having seen for some time. The
corps dipl. —matique mustered strong, and the space
allotted to them was crowded. Among the strangers
present in the gallery vo4B the ex.Raja of Cobso and
his daughter the Princess GaIII'OMUIS, who wtised
and who appeared to
yesterday, at Buckingham Palace'
be in charge of some ladies.
At a quarter-past two, the sound of the guns, and the
cheering of the crowd outside, announced the arrival of
the Royal cortege, and in a few moments her Majesty
ar. followed by the Great Officers of
entered the 1:100--'
State, and took
her seat on the Throne, Prince Albert
being seated on a chair of state on her left. The Duke
carryin word of State, stood en her
of Wellingt°"' and the Marquis of Westminster, with the
Majesty's I.3.ft'
istianatenance, on the right.
Cap of
The Earl or Derby, as leader of the Upper House,
bore the Crown.
Her Majesty being seated, the Deputy Usher of the
Black RA left the House to summon the Commons,
and in a few moments they appeared at the bar of the
'louse' headed by the Speaker, who was closely fol-
lowed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. `Val-
pole, and other members of the Government.
The SPILLS-ER then delivered his usual speech, ac-
quainting her Majesty with the course of business
during the sessien, and praying her consent to the Con-
solidated Fund Appropriation Bill, which he brought up.
The Royal assent was then given to the following
Bills :
Consolidated Fund Appropriation.
Metropolis Water Supply.
Bishopric of Christchurcb, New Zmlanrl
Improvement of Jurisdiction in Eclair

PETITIONS.
Mr. HUDSON presented a petition from Sunderland
in favour of the ocean pecay postage.
Mr. G. THOMPSON presented a petition from the

to take place in Bonner's-field; also a petition from Pem-
broke Dock, praying for the separation of Church and
State.
Mr. SPOONER presented a petition from Birming-
ham, praying for the repeal of the Maynooth grant.
THE RIOT AT STOCKPORT.
Mr. ANSTEY, seeing the Right Honorable the Sec-
retary of State for the Homo Department in his place,
wished to put to him a question with reference to the
unhappy affray that hid taken place at Stockport. He
wished to ask, in the first place, whether he hid n
further information on the subject of the affrayln thethayn
that which was already before the country
second place, he wished to ask whether it was true, or
whetter the Right Hon. Gentleman had any reason
for
believing, that religious processions of the Roman Ca-
tholics was the original et:also of the ciistwb
thirdly, whether is was the intention of Gouviieernmaelindt,
from this time forth, to take effectual measures to pre-
vent religious processions of that kind taking
this country, whore the current of feeling place
in
calculated to produce disastrous consequences?—!Hear.)wascmine'lltl)
Mr. WALPOLE had to state, in answertfourtthheerfirst
question, that ho was in pos3ession of no
in-
formation than that which was contained inthe ordinarchaenels of communicetion to the House and the public.y
With regard to the second question, he begged to state
that he had received a letter from the Mayor of Stock-
port, in which it was stated that it was supposed the
riot arose out of religious d.frrences between the English
sod the Irish, but the mayor and his brother magistrates
had been so much occupied in taking measures to
secure the public peace that they had found no time yet
to inquire into the immediate cause of the affray, and
without a statement before him the House could not ex-
pect him to pronource any opinion upon the matter.
With regard to the third question, be had only to state
that both in England and Ireland the Government had
given every possible caution to discourage pro-
cessions which were of such a character as
could ,in any way give rise to religious differ-
ences, and ho could assure the House that the Go-
vernmentd were anxious that all processions which could
lead to religious disputes should be discouraged, and
he hoped the country would support them in preventing
their eccurrence.—(Hoer, hear.)
VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.
Lord SEYMOUR wished to ask the Noble Lord the
First Commissioner of Works what measures were in-
tended to be taken during the recess to improve the ven-
tilation of the House?
Lord JOHN MANNERS said it was intended to
adopt the recommendation of the Committee which had
sat upon this subject, and it was hoped the Board of
Works, with the assistance of those gentlemen who had
paid attention to the ventilation and lighting of the
House, would render the chamber far more agreeable
next session than it had been this.—(Hear.)
PRINTED PAPERS.
Mr. HUME said a number of valuable papers relating
to the colonies, and other matters, had. been laid on the
table to-day, but he was told that they coup not be de-
livered to Members, as the Parliament would beat an
end after to-day.
The SPEAKER said his authority ceased after the
dissolution, and the delivery of the papers would en-
tirely rest with the government.
Mr' HUME—Under these circumstances he hoped
the Government would consent to ordering the delivery
of the papers.
The
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER doubted
whether the Government had power to make such an
order, but there was yet time enough before the Parlia-
ment expired to move an address to the Crown on the
subject.—(gear, hear.)
Mr. HUME accordinglyjas y,
moved that an humble ad-
dress be presented to her Maest praying that her
Majesty would be graciously pleas to to order the deli-
very of such papers as had notyeetbeen sent out.
The motion was agreed to.
