HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at
twenty minutes past One o'Clock.
Among the Peers present we observed the Duke of Argyll,
who took the oaths and subscribed the Parliamentary Roll ;
the Duke of Sutherland, the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis
of Bute, the Marquis of Westminster, Viscount Falkland,
Earl Mulgrave, Lord Bexley, Earl Shaftesbury, Lord Port-
man, and the Bishops of Durham, Norwich, Ely, and Here-
ford.

The Duke of SUSSEX entered the House at half-past one,
and was warmly greeted by several of the Peers present.
His Royal Highness wore the uniform of Captain-General of
the Royal Artillery, and the Blue Ribbon of the Garter, as
on yesterday evening. Lord PORTMAN, the seconder of the
Address, wore a Deputy-Lieutenant's uniform, and almost all
the Peers wore either the Windsor or some military uniform.
The Duke of ARGYLL acquainted their Lordships that
the Peers who had been appeinted to wait on her Majesty, to
ascertain when it would be her Royal pleasure to receive the
Address of thst House, had returned, and her Majesty had
been graciously pleased to appoint two o'clock on that day to
receive it.

On the motion of the Earl of SH A FTE SB ti RY the Hous•
adjourned to three o'clock, and all the Peers present who were
Privy Councillors then left the House, and proceeded to
Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of presenting the Ad-
dress to her Majesty.
On hisiGrace the Duke of Sussex going down stairs from
the House of Lords to join the procession, we are sorry to say
that in consequence of his foot catching on the carpet, his
Royal Highness fell, and rolled down one flight of steps. He
was immediately raised, and though he complained of his
knee, he assured the Noble Lords by whom be was immediately
surrounded that he was not seriously hurt ; and being assisted
along, he joined the procession.
The procession left the House of Lords at a quarter to two
o'clock, preceded by Mr. Lee, High Constable of West-
minster, and assistants, passing through the Horse-guards and
along the Mall. They• were fewer persons assembled to wit-
ness the ceremony of going up to the Palace with the Address
than on former occasions of a similar nature.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY

IN THE MATTER OF THE LUDLOW CHARITIEI.

Mr. WAKEFIELD upon the Lord Chancellor taking h a seat,
stated that he was instructed on behalf of one set of Trustees
of the above Charities, to request that his Lordship would post-
pone his judgment, which stood on the paper to day, for a
week, as a treaty was going forward, which would probably
end in a settlement of all the disputes that had taken place.
Mr. WIGRAM on the part of his client did not feel himself
justified in consequence of the treaty that had been going on,
to ask his Lordship to postpone his judgment; he denied
that any treaty was going forward at all.
Mr. WAKEFIELD observed that he had read a letter from Mr.
Lechmere Charlton, in which that gentleman stated that such
a treaty was proceeding, and expressed his firm belief that
matters would be settled amicably. In his, Mr. Wakefield's
opinion, it would be much better to allay the irritation that
existed in Ludlow by an amicable arrangement, than that
either party should obtain a triumph by a judgment of his
Lordship.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said under the circumstances ho
would postpone giving judgment till that day week.
