PROCEEDINGS OF PARLIAMENT DURING
THE PRESENT WEEK.
As some ignorance prevails respecting the proceed-
ings of Parliament at its meeting, even among Mem-
bers, we have taken some trouble to obtain information
on the subject, from the proper quarter.
To-morrow the doors of the House of Commons
will be thrown open, and all those who, upon being
asked the question, declare themselves Members, will
be admitted.
At two o'clock there will be a Commission in the
House of Lords, when the Commons, having been
summoned to the Bar, and after hearing the Commis-
sion read, will be directed to return to their own
House, and immediately proceed to the election of a
Speaker, whom they will be directed to present at the
Bar of the House of Lords on the following day,
(Thursday).
The Commons havincr returned to their House
will immediately (no Member having been yet sworn)
proceed to the choice of Speaker, and that having
been done, the Gentleman upon whom the choice has
fallen will be presented at the bar of the House of
Lords on Thursday. He will proceed thither dressed
in a small wig and dress-sword—not wearing his gown.
The mace will then be carried up on the left arm of
the Sergeant. The Royal approbation having been
given to the choice of the House, the Speaker will de-
mand the usual privileges of freedom from arrest and
of speech, &c.; which having been granted, the Speaker
will then return—the mace being shouldered.
On the Speaker's return to the llouse, he will
take the oaths, and proceed to administer them to
the other Members present until 4 o'clock. . The
swearing in of Members will be continued daily from
12 o'clock until 4, and on Monday her MAJESTY
Win open the Session for its proper business.
Ohl Members of Parliament will see by the above
that there is a marked alteration in the prrliminary
proceedings with respect to taking the oath.
Formerly the oath was administered to a number of
Members before proceeding to elect a Speaker.
Now all Members who present themselves by TWO
o'clock, arc eligible to vote without being sworn.
Such being the new state of things, it is, perhaps,
hardly necessary to impress upon all true Reformers
the imperative duty they owe to themselves and their
constituents of being punctually at their post at Two
o'Clock.

For the information of the country generally, we
shall report the names of all Members pre:cnt at the
Election of Speaker, in our Second Edition.

As the period of the meeting of Parliament ap-
proaches, the Tory public dinners increase in number ;
just as if the Treasury Benches were only to be
stormed by knives and forks. One of the leading or-
gans of the faction contains this morning reports of
not less than three of these ovations, each of which is
remarkable for the air of gloom and despondency—ill-
concealed beneath a show of bluster and bravado—that
pervades the several speeches. At the Newbury dinner,
in particular, nothing could well be more forlorn or discon-
solate than the tendency of the remarks which escaped
from the lips of Mr. PA L M E 11, the leading spokesman of
the evening. The genius of tribulation seemed to inspire
his every thought—to sadden his every sentence. Once
or twice he attempted to pluck up spirit, and even
venture on something that bore an indistinct resem-
blance to a joke ; but the effort—and no wonder—
was too much for him ; and he relapsed immediately
into his old state of sullen discomfiture. All he had
to say in favour of the Tories was, that " they were
accused of assuming the name of Conservative, and
of being ashamed of the name of Tory ; now he
should be glad indeed to know what real abuse
could be pointed out that the Conservatives
-would not immediately set about reforming."
There is a settled, quiet effrontery about
this, infinitely amusing to those who remem-
ber the Manifesto of Sir ROBERT PEEL—that
shilly-shally document, on which the whole faction
pins its faith, and which !it may be remembered, ac-
knowledged the existence of abuses in one sentence,
only to reject all remedies in the next. It is the mis-
fortune of the Tories never to see a grievance, except
in their own removal from place and pay. They are
stone-blind to everything that does not immediately
-concern their own interests. They make their own
personal prosperity a test of that of the country. They
are the sublimest and most selfish of egotists, and would
hazard a convulsion—as we saw in the memorable
instance of the Reform Bill—sooner than make the
slightest sacrifice to duty, honour, or patriotism. Look
at their conduct during the few months that their pet-
Premier held office T. Did it not evince a disposition
to retrograde, rather than to advance ? Was it not
characterized by a cautious, but inveterate, hostility to
the spirit of Reform ? And has it not been in oppo-
sition just what it was in office—purblind, narrow-
minded, and obstinately self-opinionated? And yet,
N 7? rikkth we are to be told that these arc the men who will
c`&l7-prin4tfifilid gladly acquiesce in the removal of every
