The New Parliament meets to-day for the dispatch
of businets. Thc,, House of Commons, being.duly
constituted, will proceed to the election of a Speaker,
when it• is probable their choice will fall on the same
Right Honourable Gentleman who, during the last
two Sessions, performed the arduous duties of the
office, with so much ability, and so much to the sada-
factiOn of the House.

We announced yesterday, that Messrs. BltovouAns
Land DENMAN had been duly recognized in the Courts
of Chancery and King's Bench as the Attorney aad
Solicitor-General to the Qvamt. A Morning Paper,
alluding to the circumstance, says: " It must afford'
universal satisfaction, inasmuch as it serves to shew
that an understanding has taken place upon the very
delicate subject' of her MAJESTfs present situation.
—,Frotn the commencement we have deprecated, at,
indecorous and mischievoUs, all agitation of so vest
unpleasant a question ; and we have now the Wis.
fittion to learn, that the opinion we have in this
uniformly expressed, is in perfect cpincidence

respect
with that of the Gentlemen who have now received
their appointments as Law Officers to her MAntsrir.
Every provision necessary for the maintenance-of

her high rank will liberally and cheerfully be made;
and the only object of Ministers being to uphold
the Sovereign Authority and Majesty of the Throne
in its just rights and dignities, no apprehension need
any longer be entertained of the painful subject
being forced into discussion either by his MAJESTY'S
Ministers or the legal advisers of the QunEx.—An
interesting communication, we understand, was yes-
terday received from her MArnsry."

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon.
We mentioned on Wednesday that the Committee
of the Chamber of Deputies, charged with the ex-
amination of the new Election Project, had decided
on proposing its rejection, with the exception of soar'
or five Articles which might be added to the exist-
ing law. It now appears, that as soon as Nlinisters
were apprised of this determination, they resolved to
be beforehand with the Committee, preferring to
stifle their banding with their own hands, rather than
leave the work of merited execution to others.

At the meeting of the Chamber, on Monday, the
Minister of the Interior was introduced, to make a
communication, in the name of the Government.
The purport of this communication was, that thil
Kiwo was of opinion that circumstances required
a considerable simplification of the Project on the
Election Law lately submitted to the Chamber; that
it should be reduced .to what was most necessary;
and that it should, in particular, be so modelled as
to do away with the pretext of its being any infringe-
ment on the Charter—a pretext of which such mis-
chievoususe had, for party purposes, been made.—
The Minister had it therefore in charge from his
MAJESTY, to withdraw the Project presented on the
15th of February last, and to present a new one, con-
formable to the principles and views above stated.
The scene of confusion which followed this com-
munication was extraordinary, even among a body
familiar with exhibitions of this nature. The Pas-
SiDENT was proceeding, as a matter of course, to
order the new. Project of Law to be received, and
laid on the table, but was clamorously opposed by
the Members on the left, who insisted that it was a
competent point of discussion, whether the Project
should be received or not ?

The PRESIDENT ruled that the Chamber were
bound, by the established usage, to revive the Pro.
