HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

There have been, and are, the most active
C spare- 1
•
dons, to get the Houses ready for the approaching ,
meeting of Parliament. The commodious range of
buildings erected in Cotton-garden, in line with the
Painted Chamber, and on the site of .the memorable
Guy Fawke's cellars, (not a vestige of which now re-
mains), have been finished. They are to be used as
.
Parliamentary offices and store-rooms, instead of the
Parliament Office in Abingdon-street, and the singular
stone-buildings attached to such office, used for the
Records, &c." The new offices are ready for use, and most
of the Parliamentary Records, Papers, &c., have
been removed into the large new store-rooms. Amongst
the additional' buildings attached to the House 'of
Lords, large and commodious rooms have been pro-
vided for the formation of a " Library," &c., and that
Library will be ready to be visited and consulted
by the Peers, on the meeting of Parliament. It, is a
fine large chamber, between the Painted Chamber and
the Royal entrance or staircase ; the Journals and
other. Parliamentary volumes have already been placed
in it ; and the gentleman, who was clerk to Mr.
.Courteney (the present Deputy Clerk of the F'arlia-
inent) while he was a Master in Chancery, has been
appointed to the thus newly created office of Librarian
to the House of Lords. The like office and ac-
commodations have long existed at the Commons, in-
troduced by the ably directed activity of the late
Speaker, the present Lord Colchester.
Besides the usual renovations of new matting, new
green leather cushions on the seats, in and about the
House of Commons, there have been formed some
new Committee Rooms, by taking away store-rooms
from the Vote Office, &c., and some additional pas-
sages have been formed for the old Committee Rooms,
in line with the Lobby
,of the gallery stairs, so that
they may be entered; as was heretofore the case, and
r9metimes in crowds, without passing through other
Committee Rooms, to their disturbance and annoy-
ance. On the right-hand side of the Lobby through
which the Members pass, to enter the House, and
abutting rooms known as the Journals' Offices,
new buildings are now erecting for a Commons'
library, &c., the room' at present occupied for such
library having been found much too smell for the pur-
poses required. The residence of Mr. Ley, a clerk
.. ..I._ 4.1.1., .;finitpd ;ii Cotton-garden, is to be pulled
dovrn, to make way for further improvements about the
Commons, projected contiguous to the newly-erected
library for the Lower House ; but till such demolition
takes place, part of Mr. Le 's house is to be occupied
for Vote Office Stores. The new Commons' Library
will not be ready by the meeting of Parliament.
HOUSE OF COMMONS NRW LIBRARY !—Our
readers will perceive by the close of the foregoing para-
graph, that the Commons, as well as the Lords, are
to be indulged—those at, least among the Country
Gentlemen who can read—with the use of a new Li-
brary. This is a highly serviceable regulation, and
will prevent in future the repetition of the old com-
plaint, that the quotations of the different speakers are
far-fetched ; for who can justly call that quotation
farfetched, which is fetched only from an adjoining
library. Among the different volumes (selected for
the use of particular members) which by the kindness
of a gentleman in office we have seen, are the fol-
lowing :
Alontesquieu's Esprit des Lois For the use of Mr. Martin.
Joe Miller , For Sir Joseph Yorks.
Naval Anecdotes For Sir W. Curtis.
