Agrees to Acts OF Parliament.
From The QUEEN.

mons. and Ministers are laborously reading
their answers to the long list OF printed aues-

reason. the outer doors OF the chamber usually
wide open. are shut and locked. and the door

o tiny wicket in the door. as II he expected an
inconveuient dun. But. NO; the doors have
only been locked on the same principle that

shut the gates when they see an underGraduate
approaching. in order to have tho pleasure OF
opening them again-for q consideration.

stranger approaching ha- mais three modest
