House. OF LoRDs-Thursddy, July 1
AT quarter TO three o'clock, the
third Parliament of Queen Victoria was
virtually brought to a close BY few
words from the Lord High Chancellor.
About I2 o'clock, the appearance OF
the house was very different indeed from
that TO which the public are accustomed
in viewing it from the gallery on days,
or rather nights, when business is really
done. The limited space from which
the bishops contemplate the pomps and
vanities Of the scene, was fully occu.
pied. but in their scarlet robes and pure
white capes there was such homoge-
neity in the aspect of the right rev. pre-
lates, that we could only identify the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the Arch
bishop of Armagh, and the Bishop OF
Oxford. Behind them, within a light
railing. was penned up gorgeous crowd
of Ambassadors, Ministers Plenipoten.

white and red, gold. silver, rich ribands,
with bestarred and becrossed breasts,

different from the epistolary style OF the

course. Conspicuous among them,
were three gentlemen wearing caps OF
an eccentric shape, like obtuse cones
cut obliq1eiy at the top, who were said
TO represent our ancient ally of Persia.
So numerous were the representatives

exactly who were the illustrious person.
ages present; but, if national traditions
be correct, the Ministers of France.
Austria, Russia, Prussia, Spain, Belgi-
um. Naples, Greece, the United States,
Persia and Brazil, or their substitutes,
were present, though we are bound to
say the various diplomatic corps seem
to take delight in battling curiosity by a
provoking identity in dress, always the
Austrian, Russian and Persian excep-
ted.
"The Duke" was in uniform, over
which were his robes, and he looked
remarkably welI;" but it was evident,
subsequently,, when he stood beside the
Queen during the reading of her Majes-
ty's rather heightened address, with the
great Sword OF State held upright in his
aged hands, that he was rather d's-
tressed. and probably the only time
when the Duke Of Wellington ever de-
sired TO lower the point Of his sword was
just ere the last sentence of the Royal
speech was concluded. Several gentle
men from the East, rich in barbaric
pearl and god, were present in the Am
bassadors' pen and the galleries; and
among the objects Of great attraction
was the young Princess Gauromma,
daughter of the ex-Rajah of Coorg-a
bright-eyed, delicate featured, copper
hued little girl OF seven or eight years OF
age, 70: whom Her Majesty stood as
sponsor on Wednesday, when the Hin
doc princess was received into the
Christian Church under the regal name
Victoria" Her father was said to be
present, but the lively actions, brilliant
dress, and ''fashIon" of the neophyte
quite eclipsed his glories.
On her Majesty's entrance the whole
of the peers, Peeresses, and strangers
rose.
The Prince, who wore high military
boots and the uniform Of field-mar-
shall, took his place on a chair to the
left of the Queen outside the throne

Of Wellington; on her left were Lord

ut afterwards the English proved vic
