EXTRAORDINARY ABUNDANCE OF FLIES.
THE unusual warmth of the Season has been pro-
ductive of unprecedented numbers of these intrusive In-
sects, but which happily in this climate create no greater an-
noyance than the injury they do to our food. To prevent this
injury the Advertiser has laid in a large STOCK of
WIRE MEAT SAFES AND DISH COVERS,

With which every Housekeeper should he provided,'even OA

CLEAN CARPETS MOST CONDUCIVE TO
HEALTH.
TF any domestic Apartment requires attention to
Cleanliness, it is .the Room which is Carpeted. An accu-
mulation of dirt remains, in general, by far too long, which
must produce those unwholesome gases so much spoken of by
the Health of Towns' Committee.
Shaking a Carpet actually drives this dirt deeper into the
texture, and when adopted, at least one-half (and the worst part
of it) is taken back into the Boom.

The important merits of the improved practical means are,
at the dirt is anfiroln [rot nut and the Carnet made sac

nd comfortable as wiien first laid down. As a natural result
he colours are clear, and continue so. The intolerable
,uisance of Carpets being shaken in the streets is abated. No
iousekeeper who has once seen a Carpet properly cleansed
would ever adopt this absurd way, which must shortly become

,bsolete

TI OUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY

Their h riships met at a quarter to five o'clock, the
Earl of Shaftesbury on the woolsack.
Mes.engers from the Commons broueht up severs
raway and other bills, which were read a first time.
As the peers entered the House, they took their places
according to the present position of parties. the change of
seats seeming to excise considerable hilarity. The Oppo-
sition benches were filled by Conservative and Protection-

ist peers, among them Lori Stanley, Lord Lyndhurst,
and the Duke of Richmond ; Lord B:ougham took his
seat with these noble lords. The attendance of the Ali-
nisterialists was much less numerous; the Marquis of
Lansdowne, Earl Grey, and the Earl of Clarendon, were
on the Treasury Bench ; the Duke of Wellington was not
present.
The Lord Chancellor, preceded by the great seal, en-

seat on the woolczack he received the congratulations of
several peers around him.

SS IN THE HOUSE

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he would take that
Opportunity of stating, that under the merely ordinary
circumstances attending a change of the Government, it

numoer or
writs that have -been moved in the ether House of Par-
liament making it obviously impracticable and inexpedi-
ent as usual till some day next week. But it has been
suggested that it would be extremely inconvenient if the
private business were postponed ; and therefore I propose
that your Lordships should continue to sit, with the un-
derstanding, however, that no public business should be
trausacted till the writs which have been issued in conse-
quence of the acceptance of office by members of the other
house of Parliament are duly returned. I shall. there
fore, propose that your lordships should meet at 4 o'clock
on the usual days of meeting, but merely for the purpose
of receiving petitions and of swearing witnesses.
Lord STANLEY submitted whether, if the House as-
sembled so early as 4 o'clock. the sittings of the commit-
tees might not be inconveniently curtailed ?

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no objection that the
House should continue to meet as usual at 5 o'clock.
Lord Baou, HAM was not aware how the absence of
boo. gentlemen from the other House of Parliament

should- interfere with the progress of business in iheir
Lordship's house; but an insuperhb!e lesson against a
