IMPERIAL P.

'—(This Day.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

This afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, Parliament
was further prorogued by Royal commission till Thurs-
day, the 31st of January.

The Lord Chancellor and the other Commissioners
having taken their seats at the foot of the Throne, the
Usher of the Black Rod was directed to summon the
Commons to hear the Commission read.

Shortly afterwards the Clerks, attended by the door-
keeper and some other officials of the house, appeared at
the bar, when the Commission was read by the Clerk at
the table.

The Royal Commission commanded the Lords spiritual
and temporal, and the knights, citizens, and burgesses,
and the commissioners for shires and boroughs, of the
House of Commons, to give their attendance at West-
minster, on the 31st day of January next, for the de-
spatch of divers urgent and important affairs.
The proceedings occupied but a few misutes, and,
save the parties taking part in the ceremony, few per-
sons were present.
