OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

Extract of q letter from O. correspondent OF the
~ Y. Star at London.
s'My peers ticket admitted me to fine and
full view of all the paraphernalia of the opening
of Parliament. No more than eighty can be ad-
mitted, and was among the fortunate number.
All the Lords, Noblemen of the kingdom in
robes of state, were met to receive the king; on
both sides were peeresses their daughters, and
apparently all the titled wealth of the kingdom.
Ostrich and birds of paridise fourished Only
fourteen bishops were present. The Foreign
Ambassadors made great display, in doors
and out--none more than Taleyrand and Es-
terhazy, (where was oursO The King, out of
doors, was received with cannon, plattoons and
acclamations. After being magnifcently rob-
ed, he entered the room in great state, surround
ed by Earl Grey, the Chancellor, &c. the peers
and company all rising, till the King requested
them to be seated. He then looked about, ask
ing Earl Grey many questions about ladies'
The Commons soon after rushed into the fold
prepared for them, when the King read off the
speech handed him by the Chancellor, kneeling.
1t was read very audibly, and in speaking of
Ireland the word indignation, was pronounced
very, pery emphatically. Ten minutes after he
finished, he retired in the same great state he ar
rived. The King seems to be an object to be
seen in perspective merely. | had a first-rate
seat and thought could discover the King was
on the wane; hisvoice sounded like an approach
BILE cold in the throat, or been asthmatic; he is
full and gross in habit Every thing was order
in this assemblage; and was much pleased at
the proceedings of the day, 9th February)
81 had a ticket for the House of Commons on
the 5th, which | attended, and witnessed the
whole affair between Lord Althorp and Mr..
Shiels. The former thrice adopted the respon-
sbiIity of the assertion that an Irish member who
had voted and spoke against the coercion bill,
afterwards applauded its passage, &c. and stat
ed, when called on, that Shells was the man.
Three and half hours animated and vocifer-
Gus debate ensued, which was only ended by
the unanimous (save O'ConnelD voice Of the
house placing Shels under arrest, as he refused
pledging himself to peaceable course. Lord
Althorp was also put under arrest, but he pedg-
ed himself to that effect to the satisfaction of the
honse and was released Immediately and S.
followed his example Cobbett O'Connell, and
Shies, sit next each other and occupy full
quarter ofthe time in talking"
