The Marquis of CLANRICARDE brought up the
report of the Select Committee on the London and York
Railway Bill.

Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the Isle
of Man, praying for the establishment of local courts.
The Earl of ABERDEEN laid papers on the table,
by clmmand of her Majesty.

- Shortly before two o'clock the firing of guns and the
flourish of trumpets announced the arrival of her Ma-
jesty at the entrance to the House of Lords. The cheer:
and shouting of the crowds assembled outside were dis-
tinctly heard within the House.
At five.minutes before two o'clock her Majesty entered
the House, preceded by the Duke of Wellington, bear-
ing the Sword of State, the Duke of Argyll, bearing
the Crown on a crimson velvet cushion, and the Earl of
Zetland, bearing the Cap of Maintenance.
Upon her Majesty entering the House the whole of
the Peers, Peeresses, the ladies, and all present, rose to
receive her. Her Majesty leant on the arm of Prince
Albert, and was conducted to the throne by his Royal
Highness. The Mistress of the Robes, her Grace the
Duchess of Buccleuch, was in attendance on her Majesty
in her °OW capacity.
Her Majesty then took her seat on the throne, the
Duke of Wellington, bearing the Sword of State, stand-
ing on her left hand, and the Earl of Zetland, the Duke
of Argyll, and the Lord Chancellor, standing on herright.
Her Majesty then, in a clear voice, commanded that their
Lordships would be seated.
The Usher of the Black Rod (Sir Augustus Clifford)
was then commanded ,to summon the House of Com-
mons into the presence of the Sovereign in the House
of Peers.

The SeEAK:ert shortly afterwards, dressed in his state
robes, and accompanied by a great number of Members
of the Lower House, appeared at the bar, and addressed
her Mkrsty as follows :—"Most Gracious Sovereign: We,
you'. Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Common
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire-
land in Padiament assembled, attend your Ma-
jesty with our concluding Bill of Supply for
the present year. We are about to close
session rendered unusually laborious by the rapid
development of human industry and enterprise, in
the construction of railways, from which we anticipate
the beat results to commerce and industry, and we have
devoted much time and labour for the purpose of faci-
litating the carrying out those important projects, not-
withstanding the maiss of other public business neces-
sarily pressing on our consideration. Your Majesty was
graciously pleased to intimate at the commencement
of the present session your approval of the manner
we had carried into effect the Act for the more effec-
tually giving effect to charitable donations in Great
Britain. In the same spirit we have continued to legis-
late for Ireland. We have granted a more suitable en-
dowment to the College of Maynooth ; and at the same
time we have had a due regard to the particular
circumstances of that part of the kingdom, and the
religious feeling of the majority of the inhabitants ;
and we hope and believe that the encouragement
afforded by this and former Parliaments to the education
of the people has placed the future tranquillity and
improvement of Ireland upon a sure and lasting
foundation. Our attention has not lost sight of
the condition of the destitute poor of Scotland, and
assisted by the information that your Majesty com-
manded should be laid before us, we have made such
amendments in the law relating to the poor of
