IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 22.

The Irish County Lieutenants' Bill was returned agreed
to from the Commons, and some private Bills were
brought up.

CORONATION.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a petition
from a place in Antrim, praying for the continuation of
the Kildare-street grants. Being on his legs, he wished
to put a question to the Noble Earl opposite on the sub.
ject of the Coronation ceremony, which was soon to take
place, The Noble Earl had, on a late occasion, stated,
that the homage of the Peers was to be received in the
same manner as at the Coronation of George the Fourth
—[Earl GREY—" That the ceremony was to be con-
ducted as at the Coronations of George the Third and
Fourth."]—He presumed that it was intended, at least,
that the homage of the Peerage was to be received as at
the Coronation of George the Fourth. But he wished to
inquire whether the suggestion that had been made as to
the procession of the Peeresses had been attended to ?
That procession would tend essentially to the advantage of
various tradespeople, and ought, on that account, to be
attended to. He hoped that the select vestry of Cabinet
Ministers did not mean that the Peeresses were to be
smuggled into 'Westminster Abbey at Poets' Corner, and
huddled together in a place where they could neither see
nor he seen.—(Hear, hear.) It was very important to
them that this procession should take place.
Earl GREY—He had before stated that the ceremony
was to be conducted in the same manner as the Coronation
of George the Third and Fourth ; and as to the parti-.
enlace, he referred the Noble Marquis to the orders of the
Earl Marshal.

Lord STRANGFORD again called upon the Noble
Earl to consider the subject of the procession of the
Peeresses, which was a matter of great importance to a
great MITI b.l- of tradespeople, with whom the parsimony
of the Ministers was extensively unpopul .r. He was not
himself so neatly connected with any lady as to make it a
matter of much concern to him whether the ceremony
should take place or not, but many of their Lordships were
connected with ladies, whom it was their duty to gratify
in every possible way—(A loud laugh)—and he would
advise these ladies not to give their Lords any peace day
or night until they engaged to procure them an opportu-
nity of exhibiting on this occasion trains behind them as
ample and voluminous as any that were ever carried behind
their mothers and grandmothers. This would be of great
advantage to the manufacturers.

Marquis CL ANRICAR DE—The ladies would be
admitted to the same rank in the ceremony, as if they had
walked in procession, and they might put their trains under
them.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY still insisted that
it was of great importance that this procession should
take place.—(Order.)
Lord CARBERRY adverted to an expression reported
to have been used by a Noble Marquis opposite (West-
meath) in presenting a petition respecting a dispensary in
that county—an expression apparently disparaging to the
treasurer of that county As he understood that the ex-
pression was not meant by the Noble Marquis to apply to
the treasurer of the county, he had no doubt the Noble
Nat quis would be anxious to correct the mistake.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH alluded to the trea-
surer of the dispensary, and not to the treasurer of the
county, who was well known to be a man ofhigh character
