HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The doors of the House of Commons were opened
shortly after one o'clock, and the Members sauntered in
one by one until two o'clock, when there was a very
large attendance. Among the first arrivals we noticed
Mr. Muntz, Mr. Joseph Hume, Mr. Brotherton, Mr.
Hawes. Mr. Wilson, Lord John Russell, Mr. Hayter,
and others.

Lord John Russell, on entering, shouk several Mem-
bers cordially by the hand, and bowed to others. His
Lordship looked extremely well, and seemed to be in
excellent spirits.

The SPEAKER, who was attired in his state robeA,
entered at half-past one, preceded by the Sergeant-at.
Arms (Lord Charles Russell), and immediately after-
wards strangers were ordered to withdraw during
prayers.

Shortly after two o'clock the echo of the cheers of
the people outside, and the striking up of " God save
the Queen" by the band stationed in the vicinity of the
House, created considerable excitement and bustle among
the Members, who crowded towards the door with the
view of following as near to the Speaker as possible on
his proceeding to the House of Lords.
At twenty minutes past two, Mr. Putman, the Yeoman
Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the table, and
summoned the House to attend at the bar of the House
of Lords to hear her Majesty's most gracious Speech
from the Throne.

The SPEAKER then loft the House, followed by nearly
all the Members present.

After an absence of about a quarter of an hour, the
SPEAKER returned, and the House adjourned till a

Quarter to Four.

INJURIOUS EFFECT OF THE PRESENT WEATHER
UPON THE SEM. —The long continuance of warm, damp
winds which have prevailed, have deranged the functions of
the akin by their relaxing property to a remarkable extent.
An eminent medical man, Dr. Clarke, cautions the pablic
against the use of mercurial lotions, which, although they
allay the irritation, leave the skin in an unnatural stare, and
much is done to injure the constitution by the metal being
absorbed. The cosmetic recommended by Dr. Clarke we
have confidence in stating is invaluable to all those who front
extreme tenderness of complexion aro affected by the varied
changes of our climate. An advertisement_ in an another
column directs where it may be obtained.
THE LATE ESCAPE FROM CARLISLE GAOL. On
Friday a man was apprehended in Kendal on the supposition
that he was one of the escaped prisoners, his appearance cor-
responding exactly with that of the description of one of
them. On communication with the authorities at Carlisle
this .was found to be a mistake, and the poor fellow was at
once set at liberty. No trace of the prisoners has yet been
discovered.— Carlisle Patriot.
