HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before
Two o'clock.
Amongit the new Members we observed Mr.
Wyld, Mr. Sheriff Cubitt, Mr. George Thompson,
and Mr. Williams.
SIR AUGUSTUS CLIFFORD entered the House at 20
minutes after two, and advancing to the table said—
Mr. Speaker, the Lords Commissioners, authorised
by virtue of her Majesty's Commission, desire the
immediate attendance of this House in the House of
Peers.
The Speaker, who appeared in Court costume, with
an ordinary barrister's wig, then proceeded to the
House of Lords, accompanied by nearly all the
Members present, about 150. The Right Hun. Gen-
tleman wa3 accompanied to and fro by his mover
and seconder, Lord Seymour and Mr. J. A. Smith.
He returned in ten minutes, and having taken the
chair,

The RIGHT HON. GENTLEMAN said, I have to state
.o this House that I have been this day to the
House of Peers, where I communicated to the
Peers appointed by her Majesty's Commission
that this House had proceeded to the election of a
speaker, and that its choice had fallen on me. My
Lords Commissioners on behalf of her Majesty have
confirmed that choice, and also her Majesty's most
gracious approval. 1 therefore, on behalf of the House,
laid claim to the usual ancient and undoubted
privileges heretofore possessed by this House—espe-
cially the privilege of freedoin from arrest for our-
selves and our servants—the freedom of debate—
free access to her Majesty at all reasonhble times,
when we desire it—and also that her Majesty would
put the most favourable construction upon
all our words and actions ; and my. Lords
Commissioners were authorised by her Majesty to
concede those privileges to the House. I cannot
make this communication L.) the House without
offering my sincere and respectful thanks for having
been again placed in the high position which
I now occupy, and by assuring the House
that it will always be my earnest desire,
with their assistance, and support—and, after
the proceedings of yesterday, I feel confident that
I shall always receive that support—(Loud cheers)
to uphold the dignity and authority of this
House, and that respect for its rules
and orders, upon the due observance of
which not only the proper and satisfactory
disposal of the public business, but upon which the
character of this House must entirely depend. I
have now only to remind the House that the only
business that can now be proceeded with is the
taking of oaths by Members at the table.
The swearing in of the Members was then pro-
ceeded with, in groups of twenty, commencing with
the counties, in alphabetical order.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL .lEWS.

CITY, QC/AIt:TER Tt) TI11:EE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy.
Sales 3,000 bales, including 2,500 American at 41d. to
6d. per lb. Rails a) Shares were quiet.
The intel;igence of the capitulation of Freiburg, to
the troops of the Federal Government, was fully anti-
cipated from information of a preliminary character,
which had been previously received. However, it has
bad little influence yet in political circles; but the more
so, as the statement previously made does not appear to
be correct, viz. that the Austrian troops were marching
in the direction of the contending parties.
There are not any colonial arrivals announced in
the City to-day.
The Corn Market was heavy this morning.
There is a meeting of the Spanish bondholders in
progress in the City. The proceedings, as yet, do not
possess any general importance. As a matter of course,
the deluded and ill-treated bondholders are indignant at
the vacillating and dishonest policy of the Government,
though some hope for better times.
There is no particular change in the state of monetary
affairs in the City. Where undeniable securities are
offered we have a strong impression that, ere long, the
bankers and discount houses will be sharp competitors
for business, otherwise they will be shorn considerably
of their profits, for, business having been contracted,
there is much less facility for the employment of cash.
The Funds have fluctuated a good deal to-day. Upon
the commencement of business, prices were heavy,
Consols having fallen to 831 Subsequently th9y
rallied to 844, and are now 83i to 84 for present Trans-
fer. The arrangement of the Account is the chief
cause which operates, and there has been as much as
possible made of the hostilities in Switzerland. Ex-
chequer-bills have been marked par to 2s. discount. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 83j to 84g.
Bank Stock is at 187 to 189.
The Foreign Securities are very dull at present, Por-
tugueEe Four per Cents. have realised 21k, and Spanish
Three per Cents. 274. Brazilian new are 77-. t. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 54 to e.
Railway shares have been steady comparatively with
stocks.
