| Parliament Of the Queens speech, next
week, the business of the House Of Com
mons will consist OF the swearing in OF
members, the moving Of writs Of election
for vacant seats and matters of ike na-
ture. The presentation of the Queens
speech has been delayed in order that
members who are abroad, or at a distsuce
from the metropolis may have time TO
make arrangements to be in their places
in the event Of debate ar sing. Not
withstanding the momentous issues that
are expected 10 be settled b. the present
session Of Parliament, its opening was as

especially on the Government side. TIE
Opposition benches were ful, rot because
! there were many members, but because
there are few seats. The Parnsili,es sac
riiced comfort TO consistency, nnd crowd
ed in among the Opposition as usual In
the absence of Mr.. Parnell. who is resting
at Wicklow, they were led by Mr.. Justin
Mccarthy, who was yesterday elected vice
chairman OF the delegation.
