Those who were in any way attached to the Go-
vernment took their seats upon the Ministerial benches;
while the other members, who had occupied seats in
former Parliaments, took up their old positions, either

as supporters of Her Majesty's Government, or fol-
lowers of Her Majesty's Opposition. The Chancellor
of the Exchequer looked very much fagged and care-
worn, and so, indeed, did Sir John Pakington, the
Secretary of State for the Colonies ; and Mr.
Hamilton, the Secretary for the Treasury ;
but all the other members of the Govern-
ment, who mustered in great force, appeared
to be full of health and spirits. Mr. Hay ter,
the " whipper in" of the Opposition, was early in
attendance, and seemed to be busily intent upon cal-
culating the extent of his forces, while Lord Henry
Lennox did the same kind office for the Ministerial-

ists. The front bench in the Opposition Bench was

quite empty, if we except the presence of Mr. J.
Wilson, and Mr. T. Baynes, who took up their posi-
tion at the extreme end of the bench.
Shortly after two o'clock, there was a general move
from the body of the House to the seats, and almost
immediately afterwards, Mr. Williams, the principal
doorkeeper, appeared upon the floor, ushering in
The Usher of the Black Rod, who was arrayed in
full uniform. Advancing to the table, and ad-

dressing the Chief Clerk, he said : "Gentlemen, I am

commanded by the Lords Commissioners, by virtue
of the writs addressed to them by her Majesty,
to require the immediate attendance in the House of
Peers of this honourable House to bear the Royal
Commission read."
The majority of the new Members, headed by Sir
Denis Le Merchant, then left the House.
In the absence of the House, Lord John Russell
came in and took his seat below the gangway, nee
to Mr. Gladstone, with whom he held a brief con-
versation.

After a short absence the Chief Clerk returned to
his seat at the table, when the election of the Speaker
was immediately proceeded with, the right hon. gen-
tleman, who filled that elevated post in the last
Session, being meanwhile seated in the front bench
of the Ministerial side jnst below the gangway.

RE-ELECTION OF THE
PEAKER.

Mr. ROBERT PALMER said it now devolved upon
the House, in obedience to her Majesty's commands,
to proceed to the performance of its first and
most important duty, namely, that of selecting
from their own body some Honourable Member
who should fill during the present Session the chair
of the House. He begged, therefore, to propose for
that office the Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevret
who had already filled the chair for a period of 13
years. (Cheers.)
The motion having been seconded by Lord ROBERT
GROSVENOR, was, after a brief debate, of which we
shall give a full report in our third edition, put to the
vote, and carried.
The Speaker then took the oaths, and ascended the
chair, after which the House adjourned till to-morrow
at two o'clock.

OVERCROWDING LODGING•IIOITSES. -- Yesterday
evening Mr. G. S. Brent, the deputy coroner, held an inquest
at the York Arms, East-street, Manchester-square, on the
body of Mary Jordan, aged about 70, who was alleged to
have died through breathing the impure atmosphere of an
overcrowded lodging-house. After some consultation, the
jury returned a verdict of natural death, but appended the
following addendum :—" The jurors cannot separate without
expressing their hopes that the Legislature will speedily
pass some enactment to prevent the overcrowding of per-
manent inmates in lodging-houses, as has been already done
with respect to the overcrowding of casual inmates in what
are termed common lodging-houses."
