tremendous gales experienced from 30 to 40 E. long. on the Bth and
9th September. On the Bth, a Spanish 74 and two frigates were

Tuesday se'nnight the new Parliament meets, and
after the Lord High Steward swears in a hundred
Members in the long gallery adjoining the House of
Lords, the Commons will proceed to the election of a
Speaker, who will be presented the day following to his
.tlaj,sty. It is necessary that all those who have Pri-
vate Bills to pass in the Session, should proceed without
delay to give the necessary notices required by the
Standing Orders of the House, with respect to those
Bills w which such orders apply, as it is probable that
the tittle allowed for bringing in Private Bills will be
much earlier than when the Session commences after
Christmas; and it is also probable, that some of the
Committees on contested Elections will be appointed to
sit so late, that they will not be enabled to make their
report until the Session of 1828. The Petitions com-
plaining of double returns will be the first taken into
consideration: It may he necessiry to observe, that
any Peer voting without taking the customary oath, at
the commencement of a new Parliament, is subject to
the forfeiture of all his property. The omission occurred
twice within a few years; but, when the mistake was'
discovered, a Bill of Indemnity was brought in, which
was permitted to pass through all its stages with all
possible dispatch.
