of EIETEIL asked whether Mr. Pare, the re-
gional. at Bi:lningbain, had resigned, or had been dismissed?
The Marquis of NoamANav said that Mr. Pare com-
plained of having been very much misrepresented, but that
he bad resigned; his lordship having expressed au opinion
that Mr. Pare was not a proper, person to hold office. His
lordship added that he was pursuing inquiries regarding so-
cialism, in consequence of the documents forwarded by the
Bishop of Exeter. the results of which would, in due course,
be communicated to their lordships.
Lord REDESDALE, having p•resented ,petitions for Paro-
chial buildings to be relieved froni rates, inquired whether
the, government intended to propose apy measure on the
subject.
The Marquis of NORMANBY answered, that the subject
would receive, what it well deserved, the >e: ions considera-
tion of the governinent.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY.
Petitions were, presented for, tbe.repeal of the corn laws,
the release of Thoro,good, the extension of church accommo-
dation, &c.
mr. Sergeant Mt lomaw orought 111 his bill to amend the

be read a second tion: oo W,:inesday next.
Sir E. SUGDEN c-nr•plained that, on the last division on
Friday last (on the iinaltion that. Stockdalc had been guilty
of a second breach
,ef4riviiege), owing to his being unable
to get out of the.hottse,,tic :yas locked in, and then compelle4
to vote witli•the majoricy, lusa4inion being With the mino-
rity. He suggcstui :that such occasions some means of
escape ought to be pro•:idtd.
Sir R. havxiss:.gatc ,tiee that he should, on the 25th
instant; submit .a motion ,-4;urding the sugar duties, as affect-
ing East India product:.
• The SPr.,AXER,' ilLanswer„to inquiry, said that the parties
to the Ludlow and Cambridge election petitions had entered
into the recptisite:revognisanee4 for the prosecution of the
same.

Lord PALMERSTON, in.answer to Mr. Alderman Thomp-
son's inquiry, stated that he certainly could not declare what
were the intentions of the Pacha of Egypt, but that he had
made considerable alterations in the arrangements of his sea
anri land forces. • His lordship, in answer to otherinquiry,
..-nnt tile papers regardingMiuurca were really, and would
presented.

Lm'ocCliEla answered that it was ready,.-and would
inmost immediately,—
Do>tcomini: called attention. to the petition from
John Timrogoodta.prisoner in the county gaol of EsseX, fin-
norrin merit. of 5/. Gch church-rate; and moved that leave
he given to bring in a • bib " to relieve from, payment, of
cliarcitrates-thatportion of her Majesty's subjects-who cOn-
scicritiously dissent from the rites and doctrines of the Eng-
lish church. .
Lord J. RUSSELL said that. he felt bound to .oppose the
motion contending that to make partial exception for such as
sought not to pay church-rates, on the ground of having
" conscientious scruples," would be to lay a snare, Or offer
a bribe, for evasion of payment. Ile. added, that desiring to
put an end to unseemly dissentious and heart-burnings, he
was prepared to agree to two remedies for existing com-
plaints:—first, to remove church-rate cases from the juris-
diction of the ecclesiastical to that of the civil Courts ; an&
second, to provide that .attachment Shall .only be against the
property, not against the person.
Mr. Humc, Mi. BAIN E 5, &c., denounced these as "pal-
try," " pettifogging'," " half-and•half" measures.
The house eventually divided ; and Mr. T. Duncombe's
motion was negatived by 62 ayes and 117 noes—majority
against the motion, 55.
Mr. WALLACE moved the appointment, of a select com-
mittee to inquire into the administration of the law in the
Supreme Court of Scotland, With a view to ascertain whether
tht number of judges may not be diminished.
LORD ADVOCATE contended that the time occupied
in court was no criterion of the labours the judges had to un-

THE ROYAL NUPTIALS•

rWe republish from our Second Edition of Tuesday last the
following account, which is taken from the London Stand-
ard'of Monday evening.]
This day the august and interesting ceremony of the mar-
7ria-ze of her Most Gracious Majesty:Queen Victoria, with his
.ROYal highness Prince Albert,.-of .Sage Coburg and Gotha,
„,o;.performed in the Chapel RoyASt.James s Palace. An
e.
nt, so novel as thisi.more than ascent' having elapsed
"gcgire"WujitiaU"bilt.• nreigning • Queen of thin country were.
celebrated, would be sufficient, independent
.of the magnifi-
cent.and splendour attendant thereon, and the youth of our
beloved overeign, to engagr the universal attention and in-
terest of the 'nation: It is-neit',-theril'tii be vionekTed 'that
these combined circumstances should make the people of this
country who are,, despite . what a disaffected few may say or
think, naturally and intrinsically a loyal people stipend their
ordinary avocations and cease their labouring ;oil, to join in
keeping holiday, and publicly to demonstrate their attach-
ment: to the Throne, and their earnest wishes for the wel-
fare and happiness of their-young and lovely Queen. No im-
perial mandate was necessary to compel a cold observance of
respect. The homage was neither forced nor feigned, but
the voluntary offering of warm hearts, participating in the
joy of the Royal bride, beating with hopes for brighter days,
and breathing prayers for a prolonged reign of purity and
peace. _ _

At early dawn " the busy hum of men" arose from the
vast metropolis and its populous suburbs. The canons' roar
saluted the opening day, and
" The morning trumpets' festival proclaimed
Through each high street,"
and as the hastetiing.crowds moved towards the chief point
of attraction, the lin- of road through which the Royal pro-
cession was to pass, they beheld, on each side of the way,
the houses adorned with various ornamental devices, con-
sisting- of cray flags, gorgeous banners, and costly prepara-
tions for the night's illuminations. The neighbourhood of
the palaces was speedily occupied by cheerful groups, ever
and anon gathering additions, till the whole intended route
was lined with vast multitudes. Constitution-hill, and those
points of the Parks which commanded even the remotest
view of the scene,

" Where the throng, ,
On banks and scaffolds, under sky might stand,"
were supplied with various ingeniously contrived accommo-
dations, for the privilege of which no mean price was de-
manded, and no lack of purchasers was found. The distant
windows-teemed with heads, as did those also of the .man-
sions and : dwellings of the clostr thoroughfares through
which the cortege was to pass. Even the roofs were tenanted
by eager spectators, who froin the giddy height locked down,
seemingly unmindful of theirperilons position. Besides all
this, every niche and practicable spilt, was made the resting-
place of platforms and galleries, gaily festooned and , de-
corated,
" With seats where all the lords, and each degree
Of sort might sit, in order to behold,"
for it as not possible to accommodate all the rank and elite
of fashion within the Royal Chapel. The sex-most honoured
on this day mingled in the masses, and may be said to have
formed nearly, if not quite, the majority of the spectators on
thi festive occasion. A profusion of -white favours was dis-
played, and the handy*ork -of the sempstress was exhibited
'in a thousand varied; forms on the .graceful and beauteous
wearers. If beauty needed ornament, the of fashion
-supplied it plentifully.
. " Beauty is Natnre's brag, and must be shown
At courts,'-at feasts, and-high solemnities,
, Where most may-: wonder at the workmanship.
And many a beauteous dame and worthy knight
Caine there the nuptials to celebrate-."
At lehgth the lbw, protracted; but patient, expectation of
the assembled myriads was worked up to the highest point
of desire, by the premonitory sounds of the Queen's depai-
ture from Buckingham Palace. The noise of many drums,
the brazen throats of signal guns, and the clang of martial
trumpets, had scarcely ceased their loud announcement, when
the state carriage in which her Majesty rode issued from the
marble portal. •
"At sight of her the people, with a shout,

The troops presented arms asthe Queen passed ; the bands
struck up with renewed vigour the National Anthem ; and
the Royal cortege moved forwards, her Majesty bowing in •
return to the greetings of her subjects. •
" Fair Honour, drest in robes, adorn her state,
And in her train the crowding people wait,
Who, pressing, view with what a temper'd grace.
The looks of Majesty compose her face.
And mingling sweetness shines; or how her dress.
•And how her pomp an inward joy confess.
Then till'd with pleasures, to her glory due,
With shouts—the chariot moving on—pursue."
But it was physically impossible to keep up the pursuit ;
the " thick phalanx of embodied men," which already filled
the upper space rendered the progression of the 'Multitude
in the rear impracticable. The mass was, therefore, com-•
pelled to remain stationary ; but not so their enthusiarn.
The shouts of those whom the procession had passed 'fol
lowed it, and united with the bnrsts of loyal cheering from-
those a head. Thus ajeu de joie of huzzas was kept up•as
far as the ear could drink in the cheerful sounds.
Such was the joyous manner in which the bridal Queen of
these realms was hailed in her progress to the holy temple
where that solemn rite was performed, which has united her
to the man of her choice, a circumstance somewhat unusual
to' persons in her Msjestiy's station. Her entrance to the
Royal Chapel suspended the joyous acclamations of the mul-
titude, and the silence which ensued was calculated to awaken I
other and higher emotions than those which are devolved
in the gesticulations and huzzas of mere animal excitement.
The interval between her Majesty's ingress to St. James's
Palace and her return was one of tranquillity, the crowd
in the immediate vicinity of the building, when the holy rite
was proceeding seemed desirous of paying an external respect
to the solemnity, or of catching some faint sound indicative
of the progress of the ceremony within. -
" They seemed to hear the full devotional quire • • ,
TObeaven's high dome their awftil anthem raise,.
•
.• :Now chanting clear and now they all conspire
To swell the lofty hymn from praise."
.And what truly British heart is there unwilling to join in
these ..luipirations that this union may be auspicious of the
~goodor,ther coantry, and that under the reign of our most
graelqno'Auceu, •
~Y-,Horrid with want and misery, no more
czif k, Our streets the tender passenger afflict,
a m 5,:, Nor shiv'rini.age, nor sickness Without friend,
Or honde, or bed, to bear his living load;
• fi')Niu,Nonisii-ig infant that.ne'er earned
Its guiltless.pangs!”

Add moreover that " peace and happiness, truth and jus-
tice, religion and piety, may be established among us for all
generations!"

BUCEINOHAM PALACE,

In descending now into the details of the proceedings of
the day, let us state that the weather in the early part of the
morning was rather unpropitious; the few glimpses of sun-
shine being far between, and the rain frequent and heavy.
Nevertheless the loyalty of the 'crowd was not -damped, but
in spite.of the showers they maintained their positions until
the cortege. appeared, when to add to their gratification the
clouds dispersed and the sun shone forth with renewed splen-
dour. .

About half-past ten, a small detachment of the Life Guards
arrived, .and-entered the court-yard of the Palace, and shortly
afterwards a stronger detachment of the 'same regiment and
the Oxford Blues took up their stations aLong the lineswhich
had been previously formedby variouadiiisions of the police
force, of whose conduct in general weare able to bear a grate-
ful testimony to the,temperate and effective manner in which
they kept order.. But a corps of the A division near Buck-
ingham Palace Were- muCh.too forward in using their staves,
and some persoA received blows on their heads, which made
them bleed profusely. The offence which they committed,
as far as we could judge, was, that of not being able to force
themselves back the moment they were spoken to by the
policemen, who were thus unnecessarily violent. We have
also to complain too, of the rudeness and want of disposition
to afford the slightest service to the gentlemen of the press,
although they were kindly furnished with the following from
the commissioners

"To the Police. •
" Pass the bearer on foot along the line.
• (Signed) I

Some of the constables of the C divisiOn, on being shown
this card, refused: to pay any. attention to it. The reply of
one of whom was, ." We. are not to be deceived by such
things as, them." This was, however, not the case generally,
and by the inspectors and superintendents we were treated
with civility. It appears, therefore, that the man who acted
otherwise was ignorant of the-nature of the authority of the
pass.. A. more good humoured and orderly multitude was
never assembled on any Public occasion, and therefore that
they should be " bludgeoned" in the manner described, was
uncalled for.
Many Were the harmless jokes, and feeble attempts at wit-
ticisnis which were resorted to by the crowd to beguile the
time. Portraits of the Queen and the Prince, and medal&
ons commemorative of the event were sold in great quantities '
by numerous vendors; and, in truth, we must say, that
though the price was low, they were admirably executed. •
Soon after ten o'clock the Lord Chancellor drove by, and
was followed by the. Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of
Sussex, at intervals. Good places now became scarce, and
many "an artful move" was made to secure one. The best
of all was that praCtised by a young spark, who gave a chim-
-1,1,J-sweeper sixpence to- go before, and thus soon attained
his wished-for object, for every one made way for chummy.
