FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning, a man
named John Tomlinson received such severe injuries at
the steam-mills of the Messrs. Frost. in Chester, as to
cause his death within a few hours. Mr. R. Frost, hear-
ing a shout in an upper room in which part of the machi-
nery is situated, hastened up stairs with one of his work-
men, and found the deceased with his shoulder between a
pair of cog-wheels, one revolving and the other standing
still. The motion of the latter had been stopped by the
shoulder of the deceased, and the other had ground the
shoulder so much as nearly to sever it from the body. The
man was immediately extricated, and conveyed to the
Infirmary, where he died about 12 o'clock the same day.—

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-TUESDAY. JUNE 29.

DISTRICT COURTS OF BANKRUPTCY BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Dis-
trict CO-urts of Bankruptcy Abolition Bill, and addressed
the house at some length on the necessity which existed
for reform in our criminal jurisprudence.—The Earl of
DERBY assured the noble lord that the question would
receive the anxious attention of Government in the New
Parliament.—Lord BROUGHAM then withdrew the bill,
and their Lordships adjourned after forwarding several
bills a stage

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30.
THE MATHER CASE.

The Earl of MALmitsetyrty laid before the house the
conclusion of the Mather correspondence. and stated that
the dispute had been satisfactorily settled by the ability
and tact of Sir Henry Bulwer.

STATE OF PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Lord LYNDHURST congratulated the house on the im-
mense amount of business, both public and private, which
had been despatched during the session, and declared that
the thanks of the country were due to Lord Derby for
having resisted the clamour for a dissolution.—After some
discussion between Lords Beaumont, Lyndhurst, and
Brougham, respecting the haste with which a number of
bills had been recently hurried through the house,—The
Earl of DERBY expressed his thanks to Lord LYNDHURST
for the testimony he had borne to the course pursued by
the Government—a course which it had only been enabled
to follow by the absence of party spirit which had to a
very great extent been shown during the session both in
that and the other House of Parliament.
The House of Commons was then summoned to the
bar, and the Royal assent was given by commission to 96
bills.

Some other business was also despatched, and their
lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TIIESDAY, JUNE 29.
THE CASE OF MR. MURRAY.
In reply to a question from Lord D. Stuart, the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that Government had
received no further information respecting Mr. Murray;
but that Sir Henry Bulwer was using every exertion to
terminate the question satisfactorily. The Tuscan Go-
vernment had already expressed strongly their regret at
the insult inflicted upon Mr. Mather ; and the best un-
derstanding now prevailed between this country and the
Grand Duke of Tuscany.—Sir H. VERNEY, in the ab-
sence of Mr. Anstey, moved that the rights of British
subjects had been violated by the expulsion of Messrs.
Wingate. Smith, and Edwards from the Austrian
dominions, and that the Government should take
steps to procure compensation for their losses.—
Mr. KINNAIRD seconded the motion.—The CHANCEL-
LOR of the EXCHEQUER entered into a long explanation
of this case, which had occurred before the present Go-
vernment came into office, and had received since every
attention from the foreign minister, Lord Malmesbury.
The case, he showed, had been considerably exaggerated.
—Lord PALMERSTON concurred with the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, that this case had been exaggerated, and
vindicated the course pursued by this Government, who
had found the proceedings adopted by their predecessors
to have placed them in a wrong groove. He regretted to
see the despatch of Lord Granville of the 17th February.
A more abject document it had never been his lot to read.
—Mr. PLOWDEN concurred with Lord Palmerston in
every word, and recommended the withdrawal of the
motion.—Mr. HUME thought that the papers explained
the case, and corrected the exaggerated statements of
Mr. Anstey, and was sorry that that violent speech had
remaineJ so long unanswered.—After a few remarks by
Lord D. STUART, Sir H. VERNEY withdrew his motion.
CHICORY.
It was explained by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER, that the Treasury order had not been rescinded,
and that no step would be taken until the matter had been
thoroughly considered.
At four o'clock the house adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30.
SUITORS IN CHANCERY RELIEF BILL.
Sir W. P. WOOD gave some explanations respecting the
Suitors in Chancery Relief Bill, with reference to certain
remarks made by Lord Lyndhurst in the other house upon
the Master of the Rolls.—The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on
behalf of that noble and learned peer, paid a tribute to
the eminent ability and high character of the Master of
the Rolls, and ascribed the remarks to an entire misap-
prehension on the part of Lord Lyndhurst.
ROMAN CATHOLIC PROCESSIONS ACT.
To a question by Mr. HENRY BERKELEY, whether the
law prohibiting Roman Catholic processions could not
restrain processions by clergymen of the Church of Eng-
land in imitation of them, and if not, whether the Go-
vernment intended to frame an act to put a stop to such
practices,—The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied that the act
had no operation upon any processions in which clergy-
men of the Church of England bore a part ; that the Go-
vernment were not aware that the law had been violated
in the way alluded to ; and that there was no intention to
propose any measure upon the subject.
THE CASE OF CAPTAIN DE ROSE.
A conversation occurred on the subject of the case of
Leopold de Rose, who was sentenced in November last to
imprisonment, on a charge of begging. Sir W. JOL-
LIFFE, in the absence of Mr. Walpole, promised that it
should be immediately investigated.
THE MOSQUITO TERRITORY.
In reply to a question put by Sir De LACY EVANS,
whether the policy of the British Government regarding
the Mosquito territory is intended to be changed,—Sir
W. JOLLIFFE said the negociations were going on, and at
present the Government were not possessed of any infor-
mation upon the su.ject which they could communicate.
The house adjourned at four o'clock.
THURSDAY, JULY 1.
THE RIOTS AT STOCKPORT.
In answer to inquiries from Mr. ANSTEY, Mr, WAL-
POLE stated that Government had no more information
on the subject of the riots which had occurred at Stor,
wined in the newspapers. The
dad represented that the disturbances had
n a quarrel between the Irish and English,
ted, he feared, with religious animosities ;
Once had been so sudden and unexpected,
,d not yet been accurately ascertained.
shortly afterwards summoned into the

port than was con

?nee of her Majesty in the House of Peers. Upon his
11, the-speaker read the Queen's speech to the mem-
collected-round the table, and the session closed.

PROROGATION

OF
PARLIAMENT.

THE Parliamentary session of 1352 was brought to
a close on Thursday by the Queen in person. The
sun shone forth brilliantly during the day, and
there was a genial and bracing breeze. The auspi-
cious state of the weather in the morning drew forth
from their homes a countless throng of all classes
and all ages, dressed in their best attire, eager to
witness the Royal procession, and by their presence
and their plaudits to evince their attachment to the
Sovereign. _ _ .

The Queen left Buckingham Palace at 20 minutes
to two o'clock, and the Royal cortege, whose depar-
ture was announced by a salute from the Park
guns, moved slowly along in the order usual on
such occasions. Her Majesty was everywhere re-
ceived with the most cordial demonstrations of
loyalty and affection. At frequent intervals along
the line of progress from the Palace to Westminster,
banners of various devices were hung, and fluttered
gaily in the breeze.
The doors of the House of Lords were thrown
open at 12 o'clock, but long before that hour there
were numerous applications for admission, and the
carriages of those who were so fortunate as to be
provided with tickets already extended in one un-
broken line from Victoria Tower to Charing-cross.
The interior of the house presented a magnificent
spectacle. The front benches were occupied by
peers in their robes, but all the other seats in the
body of the chamber were allotted to ladies, as also
were all the galleries, as well those running round
the house as those which, during the Lords' de-
bates, were usually devoted to " strangers." The
benches generally occupied by the bishops were ap-
propriated, as is usual on such occasions, to the re•
presentatives of foreign nations ; and to the prelates,
of whom there were not more than six or eight in
attendance, other seats were assigned on the right
of the woolsack.

But a brief period had elapsed after the opening
of the doors before the house was filled in all parts
with as brilliant a company as can be well imagined.
Youth, beauty, wealth, rank, refinement, lent their
respective enchantments to the fascinating sight,
and when the beams of a July sun streamed through
the painted Gothic windows, and glanced on wav-
ing plumes and sparkling diamonds, and eyes more
lustrous than any diamonds, they revealed a scene
of such rich and varied magnificence as language is
inadequate to depict. There was a larger attend-
ance of foreigners than we remember to have wit-
nessed on any similar occasion - and the beauty of
the coup d'ceil was greatly enhanced by the pic-
turesque diversity of their costumes. There could
not have been less than 300 ladies present, and of
these 60 were peeresses either by marriage or in
their own right. The benches in front of the
woolsack were assigned to the judges, of whom
there were six in attendance—the Chief Baron of
the Exchequer, Baron Platt, Baron Alderson, Mr.
Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Cresswell, and Mr.
Justice Talfourd. Mr. Serjeant Manning was also
present as the Queen's ancient serjeant. At a quar-
ter past 12 o'clock, when the only other peers who
had as yet arrived, were the Marquis of Clanricarde,
Earl Talbot, and the Duke of Buckingham, Lord
Redesdale, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor,
took his seat as " Speaker" on the woolsack, and
passed " the Suitors in Chancery Relief Bill"
through three stages in something less than half a
minute, a proceeding which must have conveyed to
the ladies an amusing impression of the velocity
with which British legislation can occasionally be
accomplished. Having achieved this surprising
feat, the noble lord left the woolsack, which was
immediately afterwards occupied by the Lord
Chancellor. About one o'clock the peers began to
arrive in considerable numbers. The Duke of
Wellington was, as usual, one of the first, and en-
tered the house with the Marchioness of Douro
leaning on his left arm. His grace wore his ducal
robes over the uniform of a field-marshal. The
Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Northumberland,
and the Earl of Derby were among the earliest ar-
rivals. The prelates present were the Archbishop
of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Armagh, the
Archbishop of York, the Bishops of Oxford, Salis-
bury, and St. Asaph. The corps diplornatique
mustered strongly, and the space allotted to them
was crowded. Among the strangers present in the
gallery were the ex-Raja of Coorg and his daughter
the Princess Gauromma, who was baptised on
Wednesday, at Buckingham Palace, and who ap-
peared to be in charge of some English ladies.
At ten minutes after two o'clock the guns were
heard, announcing that her Majesty was on her way
to the house, and soon after the Queen entered, ac-
companied by Prince Albert, and attended by the
Duchess of Athol, Mistress of the Robes, the Duke
of Wellington with the Sword of State, the Marquis
of Winchester with the Cap of Maintenance, and
the Earl of Derby with the Crown. The ladies-in-
waiting on her Majesty were in mourning, and
Prince Albert, who wore the uniform of a field-
marshal, wore a band of crape on his sword-arm, in
respect to the memory of Count. Mensdorff-Pouilly.
The whole assembly rose to receive her Majesty,
who took her seat upon the Throne.
Her Majesty then said—My lords, he seated.
The Queen's gracious command having been
obeyed, Mr. Ptilman, Yeoman Usher of the Black
Rod, left the house to summon the Commons, who
arrived in a few minutes, and approached the bar
in a far more quiet and decorous manner than
usual. Indeed, it may be mentioned, as a gratify-
ing indication of the progressive refinement of the
age, that the Commons, who in former years seemed
to think it necessary to the vindication of their
Democratic character that they should tumble into
the presence of Royalty with a noise not unlike the
upsetting of a wheelbarrow full of bricks, now do
their " spiriting" much more becomingly, and enter
like gentlemen. The Speaker having arrived at the
bar, and Mr. Disraeli having taken up his place on
his right, and Sir J. Pakington and Mr. Walpole
on his left, the members closed up beside and be-
hind him.

The SPEAKER then delivered the following ad-
dress :
" MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN,—

" We your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the
Commons of the united kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, approach your Majesty with feelings of unfeigned
respect and attachment. We acknowledge with gratitude
the uninterrupted tranquillity and prosperity which, by
the blessing of Providence, this nation has been per-
mitted to enjoy—affording to us, as it has done, a fitting
opportunity of directing our attention to questions of do-
mestic policy, and of effecting various social and sanitary
improvements which the interests of the public impera-
tively required. The difficulty and cost of obtaining
patents for inventions has long been the subject of com-
plaint; for these evils we have endeavoured to provide a
remedy which, without imposing undue restrictions upon
the public, will secure for ingenuity and talent a just pro-
tection and reward. Availing ourselves of the valuable
information furnished by the reports of commissions ap-
pointed by your Majesty, we have made extensive and
important changes in the proceedings of the superior
courts of law and equity ; and we confidently hope that by
materially curtailing and simplifying those proceedings
which have caused so much harassing expense and delay,
we have removed the reproach which has always attached
to the administration of justice in this kingdom. In
obedience to your Majesty's commands, we have framed a
constitution for the colony of New Zealand, and we trust
that the same love of freedom, the same loyalty to the
crown, which is so conspicuous in your Majesty's domi-
nions at home, will be the guiding principle of your
Majesty's subjects in that remote but important depen-
dency of the empire. The military defence of this country
has received from us the most serious and patient con-
sideration. Fully alive to the extraordinary demand upon
the services of the army in your Alajesty's possessions
abroad, we deemed it advisable no longer to suspend the
operation of the laws regulating the militia of England
and Wales, but so far to modify their provisions, by sub-
stituting voluntary for compulsory enlistment, as to make
them less onerous to the working classes. This course
has been dictated by no unworthy motives of jealousy and
distrust; we felt it to be due to a great and generous peo-
ple to protect them from the possibility of a surprise, and,
by adopting this measure of precaution, and by removing
all grounds for alarm arising from a sense of insecurity,
we believe that we have done much to insure the continu-
ance of that peace which it has been our anxious desire to
maintain with all the world. For this and other objects
connected with the service of this extended empire it has
been the duty as well as the especial privilege of your
Majesty's faithful Commons to make just and ample pro-
vision ; and the bill which I have now to present to your
Majesty, entitled, the Consolidated Fund Appropriation
Bill,' completes the grants for the present year, to which
we humbly invite your Majesty's royal assent."

Several bills were laid on the table, and the clerks
announced her Majesty's assent in the usual form, one
standing at each side of the table ; he on the right, facing
the throne, read out the title of the bill ; he on the left
turning to the Commons, and informing them, in a lan-
guage which is now but a badge of our ancient subjuga-
tion, though no doubt pronounced with the genuine
accent of the time of the Edwards and Henries that ha
been handed down by tradition, thatßeine

applied yourself to your Parliamentary labours have
enabled me, in this comparatively short session, to give
my assent to many mcasures of high importance, and, I
trust, of great and permanent advantage.
" I receive from all foreign powers assurances that they
are animated by the most friendly dispositions towards
this country ; and T entertain a confident hope that the
amicable relations happily subsisting between the prin..
cipal European States may be so firmly established as,
under Divine Providence, to secure to the world a long
continuance of the blessings of peace. To this great end
my attention will be unremittingly directed. _

" I rejoice that the final settlement of the affairs of
Holstein and Schleswig, by the general concurrence of
powers chiefly interested, has removed one cause of
recent difference and of future anxiety.
" The amicable termination of the discussions which
have taken place between the Sublime Porte and the
Pasha of Egypt affords a guarantee for the tranquillity of
the East, and an encouragement to the extension of com-
mercial enterprise.
" The refusal, on the part of the King of Ava, of redress
justly demanded for insults and injuries offered to my
subjects at Rangoon, has necessarily led to an interruption
of friendly relations with that Sovereign. The prompti-
tude and vigour with which the Governor-General of
India has taken the measures thus rendered unavoidable
have merited my entire approbation ; and I am confident
that you will participate iu the satisfaction with which I
have observed the conduct of all the naval and military.
forces, European and Indian, by whose valour and disci-
pline .the important captures of Rangoon and Martaban
have been accomplished, and in the hope which I enter-
tain that these signal successes may lead to an early and
honourable peace.

" Treaties have been concluded by my naval com-
manders with the King of Da' omey and all the African
chiefs whose rule extends along the Bight of Benin for the
total abolition of the slave trade, which is at present
wholly suppressed upon that coast.
" I have had great satisfaction in giving my assent to
the measure which you hare wisely adopted for the better
organisation of the militia—a constitutional force, which,
being limited to purposes of internal defence, can afford
no just ground of jealousy to neighbouring powers, but
which, in the event of any sudden and unforeseen dis-
turbance of my foreign relations, would at all times con-
tribute essentially to the protection and security of my
dominions.

" Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
" I thank you for the liberal provision which you have
made for the exigencies of the public service. The ex-
penditure which you have authorised shall be applied with
a due regard to economy and efficiency.
" The recent discoveries of extensive gold fields have
produced, in the Australian colonies, a temporary dis-
turbance of society, requiring prompt attention. I have
taken such steps as appeared to me most urgently neces-
sary for the mitigation of this serious evil. I shall con-
tinue anxiously to watch the important results which must
follow from these discoveries. I have willingly concurred
with you in an act which, by rendering available to the,
service of those colonies the portion arising within them
of the hereditary revenue placed at the disposal of Parlia-
ment on my accession to the throne, may enable them to
meet their necessarily increased expenditure.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,

" I have gladly assented to the important bills which
you have passed for effecting reforms, long and anxiously
desired, in the practice and proceedings of the superior
courts of law and equity, and generally for improving
the administration of justice. Every measure which
simplifies the forms, and diminishes the delay and
expense of legal proceedings, without introducing uncer—
tainty of decision, impairing the authority of the Courts,
or lowering the high standard of the judicial bench, is a
valuable boon conferred upon the community at large.
" I hope that therneasures which you have adopted for
promoting extramural interment of the dead, and for
improving the supply of water, may be found effectual
for the remedy of evils the existence of which has long
been a reproach to this great metropolis, and may conduce
to the health and comfort of its inhabitants.

"The extension of popular rights and legislative
powers to my subjects resident in the colonies is always
to me an object of deep interest; and I trust that the
representative institutions which, in concert with you, I
have sanctioned for New Zealarid, may promote the wel-
fare and contentment of the population of that distant
but most interesting colony, and confirm their loyalty andl
attachment to my crown.
"It is my intention, without delay, to dissolve Wit
present Parliament; and it is my earnest prayer, that is
the exercise of the high functions which, according to our
free constitution, will devolve upon the several const's
tuencies, they may be directed by an all-wise Providence
to the selection of representatives whose wisdom and
patriotism may aid me in my unceasing endeavours to
sustain the honour and dignity of my crown, to uphold
the Protestant institutions of the country, and the civil
and religious liberty which is their natural result, to
extend and improve the national education, to develops
and encourage industry, art, and science; and to elevate
the moral and social condition, and thereby promote the
welware and happiness of my people."
The LORD CHANCELLOR, kneeling at the foot of the
throne, received back the copy of the speech, and then,
by her Majesty's command, prorogued Parliament, in the
following terms :—" It is her Majesty's Royal will and
pleasure that this Parliament be prorogued till Friday,
the 20th day of August; and this Parliament is hereby
prorogued till Friday, the 20th day of August."
Her Majesty bowed and rose, the house rose also, the
Commons made their bow, and retired from the bar. The
Royal procession left the house in the same order as it
had entered, amid the blast of trumpets and the rever-
berations of cannon, The brilliant crowd burst into a
shifting mass of colours as varied as the hues of the
kaleidoscope, and poured out through doors and passages
into the daylight; and thus the Parliament of 1852 was
brought to a close, and lives now but in its acts.

Her Majesty (who looked remarkably well) wore is
robe of white satin striped with gold, a train of crimson
velvet, and a tiara of diamonds.

COURT AND FASHION.

PRIVY COUNCIL.—On Wednesday, the Queen held a
Court and Privy Council. The Queen was graciously
pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood on John
Kincaid, Esq., late Captain in the Rifle Brigade, and
Senior Elton of her Majesty's Royal Body Guard. Sir
John Pakington, the Queen's Secretary of State for the
Colonies, presented to her Majesty Te Rauparata, chief
of the Ngatitoa and Ngatiraukana tribes, New Zealand.
DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR OSBORNE.—Her
Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accom-
panied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the
Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, the Princesses Alice,
Helena, Louisa, and Prince Arthur, and attended by the
ladies and gentlemen in waiting, left Buckingham-palace
at half-past two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, for Os-
borne, Isle of Wight.
HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS had their annual white-
bait dinner at the Crown and Sceptre, Greenwich, on
Wednesday.

THE EARL OF DERBY has taken up his abode at the
delightful mansion of the late Mr. Harcourt, at St. Leo-
nard's, which is situated in Windsor Forest, about three
miles from the Castle. The noble Earl intends to reside
here during the summer, when, if the air should prove
suitable to the health of himself and family, his lord-
ship intends taking a lease of the mansion with its beautiful
park and extensive grounds for a term of 14 years.
THE EX-RAJAH OF COORG.—A ceremony of peculiar
interest took place on Wednesdey, in the private chapel
attached to Buckingham Palace—namely, the formal ad-
mission into the Christian Church of the daughter of the
ex-Rajah of Coorg, the Shahzadee Goorumma. The
ceremony was performed by his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury, and her most gracious Majesty consented to
stand sponsor to the princess. This is the first instance
on record of the abandonment of the Bindoo faith, by a
scion of that ancient people, for the truths of the Christi=
religion ; and, as such, this event is more than commonly
pregnant with satisfaction to a Christian country whose
relations with the great continent of India are so vast and
intimate. We believe that an arrangement has been con-
cluded, under which this interesting proselyte will be left
in England, to be educated as becomes her rank, under
the charge of such persons as her Majesty may be graciously
pleased to appoint.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—A marriage will shortly
take place between the Lord Carberry, of Castle Freke,
county Cork, and Laxton-hall, Northamptonshire, and
Miss Shuldham, only daughter of General Shuldham.
The general, who is grandson of Admiral Lord Shuldham,
of Deer-park, is the representative of one of the oldest
families hi Devonshire, and is in possession of an extensive
property in the county Cork, as the lineal descendant of
one of the Sept of the M'Carthys, Kings of Munster.

DEATH OF COUNT MENSDORFF POUILLY.—The
Queen and Prince Albert received, by electric telegraph,
on Tuesdny evening, the melancholy news of the death
of Count Mensdorff Pouilly, who died at Vienna, on the
evening of the 28th ult., after a protracted illness_
Count Mensdorff had married the eldest sister of the late
Duke of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha, of her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Kent, and his Majesty the King of the
Belgians, and was consequently a maternal uncle to her
Majesty, and paternal uncle to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert. He died in his 76th year, a distinguished orna-
ment of the Austrian army, and universally beloved and
respected by his relations, and all who knew him.
LADY DENMAN expired at Parslaves, Essex, yesterday
week, aged seventy-nine.

AWFUL FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.—A most calamitous
fire occurred, on Thursday last, at the extensive tow-
factory of Messrs. Waithman and Co., at Low Bentham,
in Westmoreland, involving tho complete destruction of
