THE PARLIAMENT.

Yesterday orders were given at the different
Public Offices to have all the papers laid before
Parliament forthwith, that had been required
to be forwarded to either House,; and to the
Clerks and Officers of the House of Corn-
mons, to have all the several Bills now in
hand immediately delivered to. .the, several
Members, as they were to be forwarded, through
their several stages without delay, preparatory
to the prorogation of
Parliament. The present
intention is declared to be, at the Government
Offices, that the prorogation shall take place on
Thursday, the 17th, or Friday, the 18th instant.
There is nothing in the business of either (louse
to prevent the prorogation taking place thus
early. All the Government Bills and mea-
sures are before the Parliament, and have pro-
ceeded to the second reading or to the Com-
mittee; so that they can cause no delay. It
is known that both Houses have Committees,
only recently appointed, still sitting to inquire
into the state of the disturbed districts of Ire-
land. The Commons have made one Report
with evidence on the subject, in which Report
the Committee lament the necessity of recom-
mending a continuation of the Irish Insurrection
Act, which they nevertheless declare to be
a violent departure front the fixed princi-
pies. of the Constitution ; and when that Re-
port was presented, Mr. Gouiburn gave notice
that on the succeeding day he should move
for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the
Insurrection Act. Sir J. Newport, and other
Members, objected to any motion on the sub-
ject until the Report and Evidence were printed.
The Lords have printed some of their evidence,
but only for the use of their Committee. A Bill l
for the continuation of the Irish Insurrection Act
has been introduced into the House of Lords, and
is in progress, so that it will only have to pass the
Commons, and then be prepared for the Royal
Assent.--(Morning Herald.)

MR. OXBER THE ACTOR.--This morning
early, Mr. Oxacartv, an Actor of well-known
talents as a Comedian, died suddenly of an apo-
plectic fit, at his house in Drury-lane. He had
some time ago been visited by two attacks of the
same kind, but his health appeared to be per-
fectly restored. Besides his profession as an
Actor, be possessed wine-vaults in Drury-lane,
and a printing press, from which several literary
works periodically issued, lie was origivally a
printer. There was a peculiar humour in his
acting, and it marked his conversation in private
life. He was shrewd, good-humoured, and intel-
ligent. He had renewed an engagement for
three years with Mr. ELLISTON just before he was
doomed to make his awful exit from the stage of
life. His printing press had been removed from
town to Camberwell, and he went yesterday to
inspect its operations, lie was about 45 years of
age, and has left a widow and two children, who,
if they should want the support of the theatri-
cal community and the public at lafge, will
doubtless experience a liberal patronage.

ALARM OF FIRE AT CARLTON PALACE.—
reat agitation was produced, about 11 o'clock
last night,iin the neighbourhood of Pall-Mall, by
a report that Carlton House was on fire, and vast
crowds assembled near the spot. We are happy
to state, however, that
there was very slight
foundation for the alarm,. We understand that
some part of the furniture in an anti-room had
caught fire, but that it was
the arrival of the engines. extinguished before

Duchess of Kent, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Ken-
sington. The Royal Duchesses honoured the Italian Opera

Kent and the Duchess of Gloucester visited Prince Leopold

carriage and four in the neighbourhood of Chelsea.
CADIZ, MAY 13.—We experienced one of the
most severe gales of wind on tke 7th and Bth instant that has
been witnessed in this bay for many years. It begun to blow
from the north-cast and cast on Saturday, and on Sunday it
increased almost to a hurricane. Nearly ail the ships in
the bay suffered, more or less; some, indeed, became total
wrecks upon- the rocks, and others drifted over on the
Port St. illary's coast. The Spanish Patriot, of London,
Captain BnAtio, was obliged to cut and put to sea, and
the greatest fears' were entertained for her safety in pass-
ing the rocks betbre she got clear of the bay ; however,
she very fortunately
.escaped, and is now just returned to an-
chorage. An American vessel, laden with quicksilver, with
her masts overboard, and dragged from her anchors, anti de-
serted by. the captain and crew, was seen at five o'clock on Sun-
day moring on the opposite coast. She has since been got off
with damage.—Sir J. M. I)OYLE left this place the other day
for Lisbon. He succeeded in selling his steam-vessel to ad-
vantage to the Guadalquiver Company ; but owing to some
private arrangements entered into at home with another in-
dividual, he had many difficulties to surmount before the sale
was completed.

again dined at the Royal Lodge, in the Great Park, and re-
turned to the Castle at nine 'o'clock. This -afternoon, at three
o'clock, the King and his retinue left the Castle in the pony-
phaetons for the Royal Lodge; where, after taking his usual-
drives about the grounds, his Majesty and suite will dine at

eight o'clock for Carlton Palace, attended ,by an escort of the
Royal Horse Guards, who have received orders to be in readi-

tors as the King intends entertaining during the race week.
