The doors of the house were opened to-day for the admis-
sion of members shortly before one o'clock, but for the first
half hour very few presented themselves, it being generally
known that two o'clock was the hour appointed for meeting.
A great crowd assembled in the neighbourhood of the
house, and loudly cheered those members who wers recog-
nised.

Sir J. C. Hobhouse and other members of the present ad-
ministration entered the house before two o'clock. Several
of the leading conservative members, amongst whom were
Lord Stanley, Mr. Goulburn, Sir J. Graham, and others,
Fhis created some con- I were also early in their attendance.

At two o'clock Mr. Ley, chief officer, took his seat at the
table, at which time both sides of the house were crowded
with members, and the scene was one of great animation.
At half past two Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black
Rod, appeared at the table, and addressing Mr. Ley, said—

" I as commanded by the Lords Cominissioneii to sum-
mon the immediate attendance of the hon. house to the
House of Lords, for the purpose of hearing the Royal Corn-
mission on the meeting of Parliament read."

Mr. Ley, followed by a great number of members, pro-
ceeded to the House of Lords. Sir Robert Peel and Lord
John Russell entered the house shortly before the Usher of
the Black Rod appeared at the table. The right hon. baro-
net and the noble lord cordially shook hands.
