At an early hour the grand entrance to the House of
Lords was blockaded by a crowd of eager expectants,
most of whom were ladies, who, in full dress, to the
great risk of their complexions and their finery, braved
the full rays of a scorching noon-day sun in their
anxiety to obtain a front place, to view the somewhat
rare spectacle of a prorogation in person. Behind them
stretched a long line of carriages, full of fair occupants,
who, with their usual patience when a sight is in ques-
tion, had taken up their station a long hour before there
was a chance of admittance. At twelve o'clock the
doors were opened, and in a very short time the whole
body of the House, with the exception of the front bench
on each side, and the space usually occupied by the bishops,
reserved for the foreign ambassadors, was filled with
ladies. To look down upon them from the gallery above
seemed more to resemble the gay parterres of a plea-
sure garden than the deserted, wilderness appearance
nuttily presented by the bock benches of the House.
Soon atter this the Peers began to arrive, and their
robes of scarlet and ermine added to the beauty of the
scene by forming an appropriate relief to the lighter
hues displayed by their wives and daughters. The Lord
Chancellor, accompanied by Lady Truro, was among the
earliest arrivals. The Corps Diplomatigue were present
in great force, and entirely filled the box appropriated to
them, in uniforms of every imaginable colour. A great
number of foreigners of distinction were also present in
the galleries, and seemed to manifest the greatest interest
in all the proceedings. The Duke of Weiiington arrived
about half-past one o'clock, accompanied by the Mar-
chieness of Douro. The Bishops present were their
Lordships of London, Norwich, and Ossory. Chief
Baron Pollack and Mr. Justice Patteson ware also pre-
sent in their judicial ermine. Altogether the attendance
was far from being so numerous as we have seen it on
previous occasions. One of the galleries was almost
empty, and owing to the late discussion in the
House of Commons, the space below the bar
was kept quite clear for the accommodation of the
Members, when called up from the Lower House. The
Yeomen of the Guard and the Gentlemen-at-Arms, un-
der the command of Lord Foley, were the next to arrive,
and took their stations around the entrance.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at Half-past one.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that an address
be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be
graciously pleased to direct that a circular shall be ad-
dressed to her Ministers at Foreign Courts, ordering
them to report on the facilities for establishing Protestant
chapels at their different stations, and also on the haws
existing in the several countries touching the exercise of
the Protestant religion.—Agreed to.
The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition, praying
for the enlargement of the Schoel of Design.
The Earl of MOUN rcAsuELL presented a petition
against the present system of State education in Ireland.
This business being transacted, two o'clock began to
approach, and Peers, Peeresses, and faithfulsubjects set-
tled themselves into their places, and listened with all
the attention they could spare from the gossip,
which was neither low nor partial, for the first
sounds which should herald her Majesty's approach.
The great officers of State withdrew to the robing-room,
to ba in attendance on the Sovereign at her arrival.
Precisely at twelve minutes to two the first gun was
heard booming in the distance, causing a perceptible and
universal start throughout the assembly, and immediately
afterwards a prolonged flourish of trumpets announced her
Mejesty's entrauce in the House. After a short time in the
robing-room, the royal cortege swept in in the usual order,
preceded by the Heralds and the Officers of thellousehold;
the Duke of Wellington, bearing the Sword of State,
the Marquis of Lansdowne with the Crown, and the
Marquis of Winchester bearing the Cap of Mainte-
nance. Prince Albert conducted the Queen to the
Throne, and the Lord Chancellor having handed the
Speech to her Majesty, the Yeoman Usher of the Black
Rod left the House to summon the Commons to her
Majesty's presence. In a short time, the Speaker, fol-
lowed by a large body of Members. at the head of
whom were Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston,
appeared in the House of Lords, and stepping forward
to the bar, addressed her Majesty as follows:
Most Gracious Sovereign,— We, your Majesty's faithful
Commons attend your Majeety at the close of a leborieus
session. In tendering to your Majesty this our last
Bill of Supply for the service of the year, we have the
satisfaction of statine that owing to the continued bless-
ings of peace, which' Providence has vouchsafed to us,
and the commercial and manufacturing prosperity of the
country, the revenue has so far improved as to enanle us
to make a considerable reduction in the public burdens.
We have substituted a moderate duty on houses
for the tax hitherto levied upon wiadows, and
we have thus earried into still further
effect the work of sanitary reform which has
distinguished the legislation of former sessions. Our at-
tention has also been directed to various measures for
the improved administration of justice. We have modi-
fied the law of evidence, so as to secure the more com-
plete and satisfactory investigation of truth. We have
simplified many of the details, both of criminal
and civil procedure, and we confidently hope that
the important addition we have made to the judi-
cial establishment, will so far facilitate the
appellate jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery,
as also of the Judicial Committee of your Majesty's
Privy Council, that the expenses and delays which have
hitherto been inseparable from their proceedings will
for the future be materially diminished. 'rho assump-
tion of, certain ecclesiastical titles conferred by a foreign
power has been the source of much anxious and patient
deliheration. We approached that diffieult and delicate
question in the spirit in which your Majesty was gra-
ciously pleased to recommend it to our attention, and we
trust that the measure we have passed will prove
effectual to prevent any further attempt to encroach on
w
your Majesty's suprernscyithout in any degree in-
frigging on the great principle of relieieus liberty. It
is unnecessary for me to advert to other measures of
trainer political importance, but exerting a material in-
fluence on the c mdition of the in tustrious classes, which
have, been matured during the present session. When
e_a_refully reviewed they will manifest our earnest desire to
umentaia the prerogative cf the Crown, and at the same time

PROTESTANTISM ABROAD.
Sir R. H INGLIS wished to ask the Noble Lord at
the head of the Foreign Department three questions.
First, whether in the event of the Euglish Church
being dispot,ed to erect a Church iu Reale Government
were prepared to give the Consular protection to such
church ; secondly, whether Government had heard of
an application made to the Spanish authorities
for the right to construct a Protestant burial-
ground near to Madrid which had been granted,
but upon such conditions as made it quite impossi-
ble for a civilized committee to accept it.
Thirdly, whether Government were aware that two
English gentlemen had been sent out of Rome in exile,
because they were promoters of the Protestant religion?
Lord PALSIERS I'UN said, with regard to the last
question, a correspondence was now going on with Rowe
on the subject, but he did not yet feel himself at liberty
to disclose what the effect of this correspondence was.
With regard to the first question, under the Consular
Act, the Foreign-office had power to appoint a
chaplain to any
dents were prepared to contribute half his stipend; but the
foreign station where the British resi-
Act did not empower the Government to give ally pro-
tection that was at variance with the wishes of the local
authorities. With regard to the second question, it was
perfectly true that an application for a new burial-
ground in Madrid had been acceeded to by
the Spanish
Government ; but, unfortunately, the consent was ham-
pered with conditions that must be highly distasteful to
the applicants. It was said, however, that the Spanish law
imperatively required that those conditions should be
annexed to the consent. A correspondence had taken
place on the subject betweoa the two Governments, and
he was now prepared to lay upon the table such portions
of it as might be interesting to the public..
On the motion of the Noble Lord, the correspond-
eeee was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
