IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS -(THIS DAY.)

Parliament was this day further prorogued by Royal
Commission to the 3d of February next, then to meet
for the dispatch of business.
The Lord Chancellor and the other Royal Commis-
sioners named in the Commission having taken their
seats on the Woolsack in the House of Lords, the Yeo-
man Usher of the Black Rod was directed to summon
the Commons to the bar, and some of the officers of the
Lower House having answered to the summons, the
Royal Commission was read by the clerk at the tahle.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then declared the ad-
journment in the name of her Majesty, adding the impor-
tant words that it was the Royal will and pleasure that
the Parliament should "assemble and be holden" on the
adjournment day "for the dispatch of divers urgent and
important affairs," and the Lords Spiritual and Tempo-
ral, and the knights, citizens, and burgesses, and the
commissioners of shires and burghs of the House of
Commons were required and commanded to give their
attendance accordingly at Westminster on Tuesday, the
third day of February next.
The proceedings were simply one of form, and did not
occupy more than a few minutes.

FIRE AT EXETER HALL, STRAND.
Last evening, shortly after seven o'clock, the greatest
confusion was caused in consequence of a report being
raised that that immense building, Exeter Hall, had
taken fire. A sheet of flame was seen from a small
building situated between the windows of the large hail
and the porters' rooms, and the firemen having set to
work, they were enabled to Garry the hose from their
engines down one of the main passages of the hall, and
by opening a side window they succeeded in pouring a
heavy stream of water upon the flames, which prevented
their further extension, and in less than an hour en-
tirely extinguished them. Some damage is done to the
walls of the ball by smoke and water.
