HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The neighbourhood of this House was thronged all the
forenoon by persons whose curiosity prompted them to see
the various Members of the new and Reformed Parliament.
A vast number of Members were in the House in the
morning, among whom Mr. Cobhett was not the
least conspicuous ; he took his seat on the Treasury
Bench, where rumour says he intends remaining during the
Session.
Soon after two o'clock the Members were summoned to
the House of Lords to hear his Mljesty's Commission read
for the opening of Parliament. A general rush took place
to the door, and the forms of opening the Parliament
having been gone through, they returned and took their
respective places.

(We shall give the further proceedings in a Second
Edition.)

It was stated in the betting-room yesterday thit Prince
Llewellyn had changed masters, through the agency of Mr.
Perrin, the trainer; neither the price nor the name of
the purchaser transpired, but the purchase is supposed to
have been made either for Mr. Osbaldeston or the Chif-
neys. The horse was backed at II to lat the opening,
and at 10 to 1 before the close. Lord Exeter's Cactus
was backed at 30 and 28 to 1, the closing price being three
point less. The colt out of Moses's dam is on the decline.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN. S QUARE.

It may be recollected that an account appeared in
the newspapers on Saturday of a person who was
apprehended in the Palk, charged with giving
money to children, and indecently exposing his per-
son to them. He refused to give either his name
or address, but from his general appearance and the
valuable property found upon his person, it was
generally supposed that he was a man of fortune.
Mr. WHITE considered the case proved, and
sentenced him to two months' imprisonment, and to
be kept to hard labour.
Yesterday a solicitor attended before the Magis-
trates on behalf of the prisoner, and said that his
client wished to appeal against the conviction, and
was ready to put in bail to appear at the Sessions.
The prisoner was brought up from the prison, and
his real name and address having been ascertained,
Mr. WIIITE consented to take bail.

Messrs. Mayhew and Johnson, solicitors, of
Carey-street, then entered into sureties of 501. each
for his appearance, who also entered into his recog-
nizance of 1001. to appear at the next sessions.

THE KING AND THE SCOTCH PEERS.-
We fed perfectly confident that no disrespect could have
been intentionally shown to his MAJESTY at the Peers'
dinner ; but the report which we noticed was so current
in town, that we could not do a more essential service to
the Noble Lords than to give them an opportunity of con-
tradicting it. The following letter appears in a contem-
porary of yesterday ; but it is for the first time we have
learnt that the health of their MAJESTIES were ever given
in this country at a tavern dinner, however private it
might be, without the usual honours. The Noble Chair-
man, it seems, " doubted," and was guided by the expe-
rience of others. We do not wonder that he " doubted"
at what scarcely any one could bring himself to b-lieve

" Edinburgh, Jan. 22, 1833.

" Sir,—ln reading the Courant yesterday, my attention was
called to a letter from the editor of the Scotsman. As Chair-
man of the dinner referred to, I distinctly deny that there was
any difference in the manner in which I proposed the King's or
Queen's health. Both were proposed from the Chair, with-
out the honours, and both were drank by the Company without
the honours.

" All the proceedings on the part Cf the Chairman at that
dinner were in conformity to what I understood to be the usual
practice ; I doubted my own experience, and consulted that
of others, which guided me. The Peers' dinner has always
been considered a private ''.inner.
" I have the honour to be, &e.
" TWEEDALE."

LIFE OF SIR WILLIAM HOSTE.-" At
the age of thirteen, the subject of these volumes went to
eta, and had the good fortune to be placed in the Aga-
memnon, commanded by the immortal NELSON, with
whom his courage and conduct made him a distinguished
favourite. So eminently did he display the noblest cha-
racteristics of the British searnin-80 splendid an example
has he left to the navy, that we heartily approve of the
publication of this work, as a just tribute to the indivi-
dual—a fine lesson to our sailors, as long as England shall
maintain her illustrious name on the ocean—and a patrio-
tic memorial for the country at large. The further we
advance the more the work increases in interest. The
incidental notices of Captain NELSON are extremely
valuable, and we gradually feel ourselves more and more
attracted by narrative, till the curtain finally falls."—

ECCENTRIC IGNIS FATUUS.—Lieutenant
BuRNEs describes a curious phenomenon observed at
the confluence of the Indus and Kubul river, half a mile
from Atok, in the following words :—" An iynis fatuus
constantly shows itself in this place ; two, three, and even
four lights are visible at a time, and continue to shine
through the night. It appears, at first sight, to be the
reflection of the water on the rock, well smoothed by the
current; but then it only shows itself in one particular
spot, and though the whole banks are so smoothed, it is
confined to a few yards. There was and could be no de-
ception. The natives cannot account for it, and its continu-
ance during the rainy season is the most inexplicable part
of the phenomenon in their estimation. The valiant MAN
&licit, who carried a war of revenge against the Mahome-
dans beyond the Indus, fought a battle on this spot, and
the lights are considered by some as the departed spirits of
the slain. For my own part, I cannot solve the mystery
regarding this will-o'-the-wisp,' which I only credited
after bavini seen 1-."....Asiatic Journal.
