OF PEERS.

On the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE, the report of
the Committee on this subject, which was presented yes-
terday was read by the clerk at the table.
Oa the motion that the report be agreed to,
Mr. V. SMITH objected to the time specified in the
report, and within which Members were to announce
their intention to attend the Speaker on the
occasion of the prorogation to-morrow. The report
required that Members should give in their names to
night, but it would answer all the ends that the report
sought to attain if Members delivered in their names to-
morrow. He should decidedly object to that
part of the report which proposed to give
Cabinet Ministers precedence over all other
Members on the occasion of the opening or
closing Parliament, and he should divide the House on
that part of it, because the proposal was wholly in oppo-
sition to the principles of the constitution, which gave
Members the right of attending the Speaker on an equal
footing, as the representatives of the people.
Sir D. NORREYS concurred with the Right Hon.
Gentleman in the objection he had taken to the second
resolution contained in the report. He should, therefore,
move that the first clause of the report be omitted.
Sir R. H. INGLIS thought it any precedence were to
be given it should be to the membora of the Privy
Council, which would include not only the present
Cabinet, but all former Ministers and the most distin-
guished persons in that House.
Mr. C. ANSTEY thought the fault rested with the
other House, in not providing sufficient accommodation
for this House when it was called to the presence of her
Majesty. He also objected to recognise by a resolu-
tion of the House the existence of the Cabinet Council,
a distinction which was unknown to the forms of the
House, and constitution of the country.
Mr. GREENE defended the report.
Sir B. HALL thought that the best mode of proceed-
ing would be to place the names of all Hon. Members
indiscriminately in a glass, and for each Hon. Member
to follow Mr. Speaker in the order in which his name be

drawn.
Mr. HOBHOUSE thought that if they wore to have
any precedence at all, they ought to go by the tables of
precedence which were used in all other meetings of gen-
tlemen. He thought, too, that the House of Lords was
deficient in courtesy towards this House in not providing
sufficient accommodation for it.
Mr. MACGREGOR objected to giving precedence to
any persons. He thought all Members were equal among
themselves.

ROYAL ASSENT.
At this momcnt, Mr. Pulman, the Yeoman Usker of
,he Black Rod, appeared at the table of the House, to
summon the Commons to hear the Royal Assent given
to certain Bills (for which see Lords' report).
The SPEAKER then left the House followed by Mr.
Hebhouse only, a circumstance which taken in connec-
tion with the previous discussion occasioned some degree
of meriment. On his return the Speaker announced the
titles of the Bills which had been assented to.
