THE RIOT AT STOCKPORT.
Mr. ANSTEY, seeing the Right Honorable the Sec-
retary of State for the. Home Department in his place,
wished to put to him a question with reference to the
unhappy affray that had taken place at Stockport. He
wishel to ask, in the first place, whether he had any
further infaination on the subject of the affray than
that which was already before the country? In the
second place, he wished to ask whether it was true, or
whether the Right Hon. Gentleman had any reason for
believing, that religious processions of the Roman Ca-
tholics was the original cause of the disturbance? end,
thirdly, whether it was the intention of Government,
from this time forth, to take effectual measures to pre.-

vent religious processions 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

formation than that Which was contained in the ordinary

he had only to state
that both in England and Irelan • d the Government had

given every possible caution to discourage pro-
cessions which were of such a character as
could in any way give riso to religious differ-
ences, and he could assure the Homo that the Go-
vernment were ansincs that all processions which could
lead to religious disputes should be discouraged, and
he hoped the country would support them in preventing
their occurrence.—(Hear, hear.)
VENTIL&TION 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
Vie.,rks, with the assistance of those gentlemen who had
paid attention to the ventilation and lighting of the
'louse, 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 coknies, and other matters, had been laid on the
table to-day, but he was told that they could not be de-
livered to Members, as the Parliament would be at an
end after to-day.
Tha SPEAKER said his authority ceased after the
dissolution, and the delivery of the papers would en-
tirely rest with tho Government.

llUME—Under these circumstances he belled
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 V 725 yet time enough before the Parlia-
ment expired to move art address to the Crown on the
subject.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME accordingly moved that an humble ad-
dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that her
Majesty would be graciously pleased to order the deli-
very of such papers as had not yet been sent out.
The motion was agreed to.
TH E PRO RO GATION.
The ballot for places in the train of the Speaker while
attending her Majesty i❑ the House of Peers was taken,
and the Elaine of Mr. Hume was amongst the earliest
drawn from the box. At the close of the ballot,
Mr. HUME expressed a hope that the same regula-
tion that was observed last year, in reference to the prin-
cipal Ministers in the House, would be followed to-day,
and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his Right
Hon. Colleagues would be allowed to take precedence
of all other Members,—(Hear, hear.)
The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod here appeared
at the table, and stated that " Her Majesty commanded
the immediate attendance of this Honourable House at
the bar of the House of Peers."
The SPEAXER, in obedience to the summons, left the
House, attended by the Sergeant-at-Arms, the Cabinet
Ministers, and the other Hon. Members present, in the
order in which their names had been drawn from the
ballot-box,

After an absence of a quarter of an hour the
SPEAKEIt returned to the table and read a copy of the
&lat. Speech from the Throne (for which see Lords
