MEETINGS OF CREDITORS AT THE COURT
BASINGHALL-STREET, ON MONDAY.

(From the London Gazelle.) IL H.
J. Wood, flannel-dealer, Castle-street, Holborn
G. Tuck, grocer, Cleveland.street, Fitzroy square

" 1 suppose, neighbour," said one elector to ano-
ther, " you'll give a plumper for Mr. -, as you did, before,'t
" No," said the other, " I don't thinkl shall ;- the beef wasn't
dressed to, in mind at his hist 'eleCtion dinner 1"

With the exception of what the upholsters may have to
do, and they, both men and women, are constantly at work,
the Houses of Parliament may be said to be rea ly for the
reception of the Lords and Commons. As to the offices,
there will be sad want of room with both houses, but more
particularly with the Commons, as the only offices made
there are cribbed from what used to constitute the Long
Gallery, half of which is still retained to constitute an ap-
proach to the bar of the Lords for Commoners, and for
those having appeals before the House of Lords, so that the
rooms left are so small as to be very inefficient ; to supply
these deficiencies as far as circumstances will admit, several
houses have been taken in the neighbourhood—namely.
Sir E. Knatchbull's house in Great George-street, for Com-
mittees and Committee Clerks. The lower part of Mr.
Rose's house and Mr. M'Dougall's house in Parliament-
street for the engrossing clerks' offices, &c. Other houses
are spoken of situated in Palace-yard, being " official"
houses, as being likely to be engaged ; indeed, as they are
nearer to the Parliament Houses, and already in some de-
gree belong to the public, saving of expense as well as con:
tiguity no doubt has directed attention to them. There
are also two or three official houses in Abingdon-street, at
present almost wholly occupied by clerks.
The approaches to the House of Lords are very limited ;
the Peers as well as the King must enter by the Royal_
doorway and gallery throughout the Session ; and both
parties must enter the body of the House by the same
doorway—namely, that at the end of the Royal Gallery,
formerly opening into the Painted Chamber, now the House
of Lords. Facing this doorway is the woolsack, and a very
small one it is compared with its predecessor ; and imme-
diately behind it, and to the right of the doorway, is sta-
tioned the throne, against that end of the House which
abuts upon the Thames ; and, like the woolsack, it also is
of very diminished proportions, when contrasted with the
grand and gorgeous affair in the former House of Lords,
as indeed may be inferred, when it is stated that it is the
identical throne constructed for George IV.'s Council
Chamber, in a room in Carlton Palace.
The present House of Lords is remarkably narrow, as
may be imagined from the fact that the cross-benches (the
arrangements of the old House being followed, though
somewhat in miniature) will not conveniently accommodate
more than three or four Peers each. There are side gal-
leries for the Peers, approached by staircases in the body
of the House, but in line with the bar. All the furniture,
the forms, &c., are covered with crimson and brass banding,
as was the case in the former House. There are six richly
gilt chandeliers suspended by long lackered chains, for
the purpose of lighting the House. Both Houses are
to be heated by steam apparatus similar to that used
in the King's College Chapel, &c. In the Lords, the
conductors appear in the House, but are neatly enclosed
with iron castings : in the Commons the heat ascends
through a large grating in the centre of the floor of the House.
There is a large gallery for strangers in the House of
Lords, that is, it projects well into the House, instead of
being out of the House, as was the case with the accommo-
dation formerly afforded by their Lordships. The front row
of this gallery is arranged for the press, separated from the
rest of the gallery by a high partition, or back-board, and
approachable at the end of the gallery by a passage for the
exclusive advantage of the front row.
The arrangement of seats in the Commons differs mate-
rially from that which characterized St, Stephen's. Here
all is remarkably open. There are no places under the gal-
lery ; all the members' seats, to the very end of the House,
and even in the members' side-galleries, there being no
wood-work, only two iron rails in front, are as visible to all
the House as the Treasury or Opposition benches ; so that
there will be no longer the opportunities of retreating into
recesses or behind curtains, and there indulging in high-
sounding sleep, or in still more unparliamentary, because
far more modern, exclamations and imitations, when mid-
night may have approached, to give note that the " crow-
ing" of the cock or the " braying" of patient steeds may be
expected. These things may again distinguish (or tend to
extinguish) the assembly ; but those who contribute to
such distinction must now at least be seen by strangers as
well as members. This may not be without its good effect
in awing even the most refractory into something like re-
spect for others, if they have.no great deal for themselves.
The wood-work is entirely of oak, and the seats are covered
with green leather. The Speaker's chair is constructed like
the old chair, which was after a design furnished by Sir C.
Wren, though that chair is introduced in the celebrated
picture of Oliver Cromwell desiring the " bauble" (mace)
to be removed. The Royal arms are not at the top, as that
would have intercepted the view of the gallery behind the
chair, which will be chiefly appropriated to the press, and
under the Speaker's controul.
The front of the other gallery is even with the end of the

House, and over the lobby.
There are eight or nine rows of cross benches at the lower
end of the House, and all of them for members, with the
exception of the two back rows ; they are for Peers, or
Peers' sons. There are also a few seats near the Speaker's
chair, also for privileged persons. It is calculated that there
are regular seats for 500 members. Behind each seat there
is a little bronze-work in which a member may affix his card,
thus superseding the wafering system.
The approach for the Speaker, from the Speaker's house,
will be along one side of the cloisters, and directly under
the passage by which he used to pass into the lobby of St.
Stephen's, preceded by the mace, &c. He will now have
to ascend a staircase from the cloisters, thence getting into
the lobby ; and he will thus go across the lobby in procet_
sion, as of old, and then pass up the body of the hose.
The members' entrance will be, as heretofore, at the stone
buildings fronting Henry Vll.'s Chapel, hna along the stone
passage which leads directly to the lobby. The approach to
the strangers' gallery is across this lobby.
The entire of Palace-yard is not thrown open for car-
riages ; on the contrary, there is a fence run along from the
side entrance, or iron gates, at the Commons, in a line with
the front of the ill-favoured building that stands out into
the street and at which the King's coach stops. This paling
will keep the public from getting even near the walls of the
House of Commons—a precaution, as the windows open to
the street, that may have been deemed expedient to guard
against too public a participation in the " cheers," &c. ;
and the police are to have orders to prevent any accumula-
tion of spectators about and around the House, so that the
freest means of approach and departure may be afforded to
the members of both houses and their carriages.
