THE RIOT AT STOCKPORT.

Mr. AN STFX, seeing the Right Honorable the Sec-
retary of State for the Home Department in his place,
wiebed to put to him a question with reference to the
unhappy affray that had token place at Stockport. He
wished to ask, in the first place, whether he had any
further information on the subject of the affray than
that which wan already before the country? In the
second place, he wished to ask whether it was tree, or
whether the Right Hon. Gentleman had any reason fur
believing, that roligioua processions of the IL)man Ca-
tholics was the original cause of the disturbance? and,
thirdly, whether it was the intention of Government,
from this time forth, to take Effectual measures to pre-
vent religious precessions of that kind taking place in
this country, where the current of feeling was eminently
calculated to produce disastrous consequences?—(Hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE had to state, in answer to the first
question, that be was in possession of no further in-
formation than that which was contained in the ordinary
channels of communication to the House and the public.
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 differences between the English
and 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 pronounce any opinion upon the matter.
With regard to the third question, he 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 On any way give rise to religious differ-
ences, and he could assure the House that the Go- '
yernment 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 eceurrence.—(Hear, 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 Rouse?
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
Wurks, 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 b2en 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 today, but he was told that they could not bq de-
livered to Members, as the Parliament would be at 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.
M. HUME—Under these circumstances hedehli the I&overnmeut would consent to ordering the or
Pe

Ttte CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER doubted
whether the Government had power to make such a
order, but there was yet time enough before the Parr n
su
meat expired to move an address to the Crown on

Mr. lIIIME accordingly moved that an humblethat

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 eeremony, her Majesty returned to Bucking-
ham Palace in the same manner.

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
Earl of Derby, and the Duke of Nor Cambridge, the
thumberland were
among the earliest arrivals. The attendance of
Peeresses was unusually great, and the whole appear-
ance of the space in the body of the House
and the galleries reserved for the ladies was more bril-
Haat than wo remember having seen for some time. The
corps diplomatique mustered strong, and the space
allotted to them was crowded. Among the strangers
present in the gallery was the ex-Raja of Coorg and
his daughter the Princess Gauromma, who was baptised

_tier Majesty being seated, the Deputy Usher of the
Dlack Rod left the House to summon the Commons,
and in a few moments they appeared at the bar of the
House, headed by the Speaker, who was closely fol-
lowed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Wal-
pole, and other members of the Government.
The SPEAKER then delivered his usual speech, ac-
quainting her Majesty with the course of business
during the session, and praying her consent to the Con-
solidated Filed Appropriation Bill, which he brought up.
The Royal assent was then given to the following
Bills :
Consolidated Fund Appropriation.

Suitors to Chancery Relief.
Her Majesty then read the Royal Speech, which was
handed to her on bendel knee by the Lard Chancellor,
and which will be found in another part of our columns.
At the conclusion of th speech the Lord Chancellor,
by command of her Majesty, proclaimed the Parliament
prorogued until Friday, 'he 20!h of Auf;ust.
