In consequence of the Order for a Call of the house
this day, and of the interest excited by the expected
Communication from her MAJESTY, the Members

numbers. •
Mr. Honitouse, and some other Members, were

stood adjourned.

SPEAKER that a Message would be sent down from
the QUEEN, hinted at the same time the expediency
of his taking the Chair at one o'clock, if there was a
sufficient number of Members present, in'order that
there might he full time to receive the Message
before the meeting of the Lords.
