INTEttiort ARRANGEMENTS.

The long lit! of apartments through which his Majesty had
topass in reaching the House of Lords, have all, within a few.
days, been new matted, painted, and fitted up for the melt-
' sip!) in a suitable style. These apartments were all filled,
through the kind attention of the Great Lord Chamberlain to
the wishes of the public, with spectator& All the other aye-
nue: leading to the House of Lords have also been matted,
painted, and otherwise suitably arranged for the opening of
Parliament. Means were likewise taken to 'prevent any but
Members of the- Ilonse of Comm-oils from filling the lobby and
passages between it and the House of Lords, through which
the Speaker and' Members were to proceed in attending the
summons of the Usher of the Black Rod to attend their Lord-
ships bar. Thee salutary arrangements were designed and
completed by the Lord Great Chamberlain, and hi 4 Secretary,
Ur. Falowcs; by the chre,!tions of the King himself.

INTERIOR Or TILE iioosr. OF Loans.
The House of Lords began to be tilled at an early hour ; be-
fore one o'clock all the benches, except the cross benches on
the floor, were occunied with Ladies, the greater part of whom
were of noble families.— On the first bench sate Peeresses in
their own right. The gorgeous display of beauty and dress pre-
sented a most brilliant TOUT ENSEMBLE. The coui, D'G 5L
was uncommonly brilliant and magnificent. The head-dresses
of the Ladies consisted of feathers and diamonds intermixed
with gold and Inver lace. The sides of the Bar were filled with
Gentlemen in full dress. After one o'clock the Peers continued.
to arrive, and before two o'clock the centre of the House was
filled with Peers, the Judges of the Courts,' the Ba-
rons of the ExcheqUer, and the Masters - in -Chancery.—
At a few minutes after_ two, a loud whispering announced
that his Majesty had arrived, and shortly after, the curtain
befbre' the door on the left was withdrawn, tnel his Majesty
entered, preceded by the Lord Chancellor bearing the Mace
and' Seals, - and followed by the State Officers. His Majesty
then ascended the throne, and his officers forthed themselves
into a semicircle' round him. The Duke of Wellington, bear- j
ing his State sword, and Lord Gwydyr, with hit wand of office,
stood on his left; the Dukes of York, Clarence, and Dorset,
were on his right, and several other noble and military men
stood round. His Majesty then descended from his throne and
,quitted the House in the same manner he had entered it. His
Majesty was dressed in a superb suit of white satin of an an-
tique fashion; He wore his Collar and Garter • he seemed in
the enjoyment of perfect health • and his dignified appearance
strongly reminded us of the Knglish Kings of those times
which are associated with our most chivalric notions.

RETURN TO CARLTON PALACE.
Shortly after his Majesty had retired from the Throne, he
was conducted with the same ceremonies to his. carriage, and
es:Arced by the Blues, he proceeded to-Carlton. Palace, attend-
ed with the acdanuttions of the spectators. On. the, whole, we
never have felt more satisfaction at witnessing-. a spectacle of
this nature, because we never saw more unequivocal displays of
unaffected loyalty and devotion. llis AJajesty must 'have felt
no little gratification on the occasion.

Ills MAJESTY yesterday received visits from the
Princeses SOPHIA and AUGUSTA.

Yesterday morning,' at 11 o'clock, a Cabinet
Council. was held at the Earl of LIVERPOOL'S
house, in Whitehall.

The Visitors below the Bar yesterday in the
House of Lords were, in a great measure, pre-
vented from seeing his INIAJEsTY on the Throne,
as many of the Peeresses stood upon their seats,
and the height of their head-dresses considerably
increased the obstruction.

AilatiernoiSae BUONAPARTE, one of the daugh-
ters of the ex-King of SPAIN, JOSEPII.BUONA*
P.AltisE, arrived at Philadelphia on the 21st of
December, after a very unpleasant'and boisterous
passage, which she bore without complaint. Her
father' was delighted to see her, and 'received her
with great affection, and her arrival had dissi-
pated the gloom which had prevailed ai Point
Brine, the name of his residence, since the news
of the dath of his brother.

We understand that W. PRESTON WHITE,
ES(I.I who has recently distinguished himself as
an active Magistrate in the County of Cork, is
the same gentleman whose gallant behaviour in
the command of. the Chance, a private ship of
war, is so honourably mentioned in the Naval
Chronology for 1801. In that year he captured
two Spanish ships of war of very superior force
to the Chance; the first by boarding after a des-
perate resistance of three quarters of an hour :
and the second after a severe action of nearly
three hours. The energy, decision, and courage
displayed •by Mr. WnrrEin his maritime career
have been no less conspicuous on shore, and pro-
ductive of very benekial effects to the County
of Cork,
•

MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c.

The brig Alexander, of Greenock, from Lon'
don' for Havannah, was captured by Pirates 06
Cape Antonio ; they murdered the Captain and
Steward, burnt the vessel, and put the remainder
of the crew on board an American schooner)
which they had plundered of 500 bags of coffee.

DREADFUL. EFFEETS OF TILE STORM.—TiIe wind w'g-
eNtreniely high all yesterday morning, and has done consider
.
able damage throughout the metropolis. We understand that
several stacks of chimneys have been blown down in dial.-
ent parts of the town. In Picket-street, between Vrople-
Bar- 'did the Strand, on the right-hand side going to Wych-
street, a most 'melancholy aecident occurred. Several large
flags, covering that . part of the ro-orinirriediately joining the
top of the, front wall, were blown off bya violent squall, and
One. of them falling upon a man who. was passing at the
time, killed him dead on the spot. Foituriately, although se-
veral other persons were passing at. the 'rnomerit, Ele other
flags did not' fall upon or injure them. ..A‘ large stone tilso fell
upon a woman, in East 'Smithfield. She was instantly taken to
the hospital without any hopes of her surviving above a few
hours,. A boy who wds riding a donkey has likewise, we un-
derstand, been killed in Picket-street. At Mr. (Mane's, I'd,
.John-SOliare, Clerkeriwell, a'stack of large c:iimneys was blown
down, and driven through the reef of the lionse.--During the.
violence of the wind, a stack of chin-it-its ' Were'biown dOwn iu

the'strecti the roof of the house was also very much injured.
