British Parliament.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-Peel, the Speaker: before
the swearing In of members began in the House OF
House that he had received letter from Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor Of the Exche.-
quer, and Conservative leader of the House, OF
Commons, regarding Bradlaugh and giving his
torica retrospect Of the latter's case which Peel
said need not be read. The letter also said Sir
not be allowed to take the oath without the House
being afforded chance of expressing an opinion
on the subject. He believed the House when fully
constituted would decline to sanction administer
ing the oath to Bradlaugh.
Peel said he was unable to recognize that any
thing had been done by the previous Parliament
Speaker was powerless to prevent him taking the
oath. He could take the oath and take the risks
of the law if any were involved.
Bradlaugh stalked the floor OF the House in de
fant manner, kissed the Bible unctuously, shook
hands with the Speaker smilingly and drove away
directly after being sworn in. He was heartily
cheered as he departed from the building by
large crowd of his supporters gathered outside.
