Mr.. Kavanagh, the memberless men,

ing whose first appearance in Parlia-

was sworn in with the rest at the table
and signed the Parliamentary Roll.

mechanism Of which is, SO confrived
that he can wheel himself with ease
to any print he wishes to reach.
The large copy of the Tesla
ment used in administering the
the oath to members was managed-one
cannot use the word handled-by Mr..
Kavanagh without the least difficulty,
and he wrote his name with as much
quickness and apparent ease as any of
his fellow members OF Parliament. The
process was as follows: The clerk hand
ed to Mr.. Kavauagh pen witha handle
of the length to which he is accustomed.
The honorable member clasped the
handle between what represented his
arms, and steadying it by putting the
end into his mouth, guided the pen
over the parchment with singular fuency
and steadiuess. This ceremony ended, he
was introduced to the Speaker, and
then apparently quilted the House.
The proceedings, however, Terminated

peared when the majority Of the men,
beers left, and accompanied by one or
two friends, proceeded to familiarise
himself with the internal arrangements
of the building, rs regards the distri-
button of seats, Hobbies for voting, &c.
At one moment, bis friends having
walked on little in advance, Mr..
kovanagh showed of what exertion he
was capable by propelling his chair
