THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT—WITH
OCT AM) WITHIN.
One of the regular sights of London is (
the opening of Parliament—an occur- I
rence which atttaels more attention and i
curiosity now.a-days, than it did some few i
years since, in consequence of the [»re- :
srnce on such occasions, of our young !
Queen, who seems as much inclined to j
make her appearance in public, as her i
royal uncles, who preceded Iter on the (
throne, were to avoid observation.
As it is my intention, from time to lime, 1
to njve you sketchy notices of Parliament !
tary matters (avoiding of course, the dry j
details of discussion) so as to make you
almost personally familiar with such do
ings here, I think I cannot do het'er than
begin at the beginning. Therefore, we
will imagine ourselves in St. James’
park, on our way down to the House,
about one o’clock in the day.
'The usual time of opening the British I
Parliament is towards the latter end of
January, or the beginning of February;
of late years it has almost invariably j
been during the latter month. But the ini- I
portant questions to he brought before the
groat council of the nation, during the j
present session of Parliament, occasioned j
it this year, to take place at so early a I
day as the *2'2d of January. Such a J
change of the usual time is always signi.
ficaut of a great change in our social
condition; and it cannot he denied, that in
the present instance, a very marked and
important crisis has occurred in the poli
tical history of England.
Ii is a bright, cheerful day, consider
ing that London is the scene, anil Jamia- j
ry the time of our sketch, and the Paik, |
from Buckingham Palace to the gate I
O t “
through which the Queen will pass into |
Parliament-street, is thronged by hun
dreds and thousands of well dressed and
ill—dressed and scarcely—dressed—at—all
people, who have all come to indulge in
a good stare at the Queen. It is obvious
at a glance, that amongst the crowd, are
vast numbers of people from the country,
who evince the greatest anxiety to gel a
good place. There are in various situa
tions seats erected, and benches placed, :
on which, for a shilling you may stand
or sit, at a slight elevation over the heads I
’ O
of the crowd. In White-hall and in Par
liament-street, the trades.people have re
moved the goods from their windows, -
or erected temporary balconies outside, 1
where places may he obtained on pay
ment of half a crow n. These seals are.
for the most part, filled by ladies—and
the “country cousins” aforesaid, their
chief object being to see the Queen, whose
youth, sex and universal popularity, have
made her a favorite, and these royal pro
cessions very popular. And year after
year, although there is no novelty intro
duced, the teeming thousands of London
pour out to see the show. As a recent
writer remarks—“ The stage coach now’
rollsover a level road from Buckingham
Palace to the House of Lords; ruts have
nut now to be filled with faggots, in
order to render the passage more easy,
as was the case a century ago. But
the royal procession end the royal
speech, have each assumed conventional
forms, from which deviation is rare. The
State coach and the Slate coachman have
much the same aspect as they presented
to our forefathers, who in square cut
coals, and square toed slices, long flap
ped waistcoat, bob-wigs and brigbt-buck
les, gazed on similar scenes. Yet each
generation retains its interest even in ai
outside show; for it is the preliminary act
which opens the annual proceedings of a
legislature, whose empire extends over
nearly fifty colonies, in all parts of the
globe, which has annually to raise fifty
millions sterling of money, and to provide
for the perpetually varying concerns of a
little island crowded with a ever swell
ing population, and a country whose ma
terial interests are every day changing
their character and nature.
We have emerged through the gate of
the Horse Guards, from St. James’s Park
into Whitehall; which is lined with spec
tators who are confined to the sidewalks
by policemen and by mounted soldiers,
who are placed at intervals of alwut twen
ty yards apart. Anxiety begins now io
he evident on every countenance; and to
pass a way' the time the occupants of the
long string of carriages, which extends
from Charing Cross to the door of the
| House of Lords, are subjected to ail kinds
of remarks. The vehicles contain, for ttie
most part, peeresses and parties win have
obtained tickets to admit them to the in
terior of the House.
Half past one o’clock—and ttie last of
that long line of carriages has passed by,
and now the embassadors begin to appea r.
Among Heir equipages that of the Ame
rican Minister, painted of a de«-p purple,
with the shield of stars ami stripes, and
the eagle on its panels, is conspicuous.
J The appointments of this carriage are
remaikably plain, and contrast strongly
w ith those of the Austrian Ministei ’>
which is covered with gewgaws—and of
the Duke of Cambridge's, which blazes
j in all Hie splendor of regal scarlet and
i gold.
The members of both Houses are now
dropping down fast, one after the other;
; some in cabs, others on horseback, and
many on foot. Hark! what means that
hurst of cheering? Wail a moment, and
| you will see.
The broad roadway is perfeclly clear,
1 and it is edged by two compact, regularly |
; formed lines of'limnaii beings. A horse
i man, followed at a distance by a groom, !
also mounted, comes leisurely along. No
« * r* t
j one asks who it is, for every one knows.
His figure and, face are each as familiar
to London eves as St. Paul’s or the Mo
nument. He is a little, d< crepid-looking
j man, and lie has a -o't of rolling motion !
■ on his horse, which makes one fearful ;
I lest he should lose his seal. As he pro- J
; ceeds along every hat is raised, which the
j equestrian acknowledges by a quick mili
| tary salute. Need 1 say that it is ihe
| Iron Duke! The follow ing description of j
him, which occurs io a work just pub- •
lished, entitled “The New- Timon, a
Romance of London,” and by many at- |
trihuted to Sir Edward Lyilon Bulwer, is i
so clever and correct, that I am induced
to quote it:—
“Next, with loose rein amt careless ranter view
i Our man ol men, the Prince ot V\ aicrloo;
O’er the firm hrow the hat as (irony prest.
The lirm shape right in the buttoned vc.-i;
Within—lire iron which iti*- tire has proved,
[ Ami the close Sparta of a mind unmoved!
[ Not his the wealth to sonic large nature lent.
Divinely lavish, even where misspent.
That liberal sunshine oi'exuberant soul.
Thought,sense, affection, warming up the whole:
The heat and affluence of a genial pow er,
Rank in the weed as vivid in the flower;
Hustl'd at command his v> rie.-l passions halt.
Drill’d is each virtue, disciplined each lanlt;
W arm if his Mood —he reasons w hile tie glows,
Ailinil> the pleasito—ne'er the lolly knows;
If for otir Alars his snare had Vulcan set,
He had won the Venus, but, escaped the net;
His eyes ne'er wrung, if circumscribed the sight, i
Witten the prospect and itneVris right,
!Seen through the telescope of hat)it still
States seem a camp, and all the world a drill!
Vet oh, how few his faults, how pure his mind,
| Reside his fellow-conquerors of mankind;
| How knightly seems llie iron image, show n
! Ry Marlborough's tomb, or lost Napoleon’s throne?
j Cold if his lip<, no smite of fraud they wear,
| Stern it his heart, still ‘Man’ is graven there;
No guile—no crime his step to greatness made.
No freedom trampled, and no trust betrayed;
The eternal ‘l’ was not Ids law—lie rose
; Without one art that honor niiitht op(>ose,
! And leaves a human, if a hero’s name,
! To curb ambition while it lights to fame.”
“There’s Cohden!” is the cry, as a
hack cal) drives tip to the door of the
House; and the great mover of the Corn
Law question alights from it. Looking at
his side-face lit; is hot unlike Biougham
j —hut his nose is not quite so prominent a
feature at that ofllte E\-Chaiicelior. Ju>t
i now, he is the popular man, the great
i free-trade advocate—and, doubtless, had
; he been generally recognized, he would
I have been cheered—but, with a hurried
) stop, he enters the passage, and disap.
’ pears—almost as soon us he is seen by
; those close to the door.
A minute more, and the ffabriolet pulls
, up. It is driven by a gentleman of rath
, er spare frame; his light hair streams
j over the collar of his coat behind, in
admired disorder; and a pair of spec
tacles informs you that he is short sighted
j His features are small and intellectual,
but bis motions are so rapid that there is
no time for any minute examination. He
jumps lightly from the seal, and enters
the House. It is Sir William Molesworth,
the editor of Hobbes of Malmesbury’s
work—the editor, also, of the Westmin
ster Review’, and Member of Parliament
for South work.
Following him is a gentleman of very
striking appearance, but who is not seen
to the greatest advantage with bis bat on,
as the Utter covers a forehead which is,
in its developements, among the finest I
I have ever seen. He, too, is a literary
man, as well as a Parliamentarian—and
his translations, especially from the Rus
sian Poets, in addition to his well known
i liberal principles, have made his name
extensively known. It is Doctor Bowring,
to whom I shall hereafter have occasion
| to refer.
Then comes Colonel iSibthorpc. who so
frequently convulses the House with
laughter, with his formidable muslachios
| and imperial —Mr. Muntz, the member
j for Birmingham, with a beard reaching
j nearly to his waist—. Mr. Miles, who has
, signalized, if not distinguished himself,
by bis opposition of Sir Robert Peel’s
measures—and others, of whom particular
I mention need not be made.
The P remier, however, must not be
passed by in silence. And here, again,
! from the “New Timon,” I extract his
portrait, sketched as he rides down to the
House:
; “Atone the road still fleet the men whose name#
• Live in th» talk the Moment's glory Haim*.
There, for that storm or stagnor. ’The Debate ’
Pas? to th'-ir poet the helmsmen of the state.
i Now. ‘on his humble but his faithful steed.’
Sir Kobert rides— hr never rtdes at spied —
1 Careful his »eai, ami circumspect his gaze;
And .still tliecautious trot the cautious mind betrays
VS ise is thy heed!—how stout soe'er his hack.
Thy weight has oft proved fatal to thy hack!”
Listen! ’l'lie Park guns are firing, as
a signal that the Queen has left Bucking- -
i ham Palace, and is on her way to the
House, The royal standard is hoisted
on the tower of St. Margaret’s Church ;
—and the braying of trumpets in the dis
tance's heard. Five minutes more, and
the people who are lucky enough to stand j
in the front row exclaim that they can see
the royal procession approaching—and
we can hear, the hearty huzzas of the
multitude, w sound like the roaring i
of the distant oee»n. On it comes: first,
a troop of soldiers —'hen several car- j
riages, containing diffeiem memhers of
the Royal a body of beef- i
eaters, miffed slashed- hose, and ;
queer little flat onKmf them |
not only looking as rKd&gji h£* iHe con- I
| siflerable quantities of he
washed with good i
as was brewed in the time to v s^mc&dJiet r
costume belongs. Follow ing tlrejn isafie r
| stale carriage, drawn by eight
i colored Flander’s horses, in which\aMKSH
seated the observed of all observers—
Queen ‘Victoria—her husband, Prince
Albefl y sitting on her left hand.
On tlinj; occasion, I was struck with the :
| rema i kape resemblance of her Majesty’s i
j profile to that of her grand.father, George
the Third-. She looked. I thought, very
pale and anxious. With her features
every one must he familiar—soil isqui e
i needless for me to attempt any de>cripti< n !
of them. I will only say that I, for one, j
j cannot call them pr< tty. She is what one I
might desci ibe as “interesting-look ing’— ,
but, then, she is a Queen, and ihaf, after ;
all, has a great deal to do with it. Prince
Albert appears a “nice” young man, but
he seems delicate—and, were it not for
| his carefully cultivated moustache, would
look quite effeminate. v
The state coach itself is a great luni
i . . .
hen’ng, gilded, gingerbread affair, and
not worth wasting words upon. So let |
us hurry away and enter the House, to do |
| which, we have obtained u ticket from the I
i Lord Chamberlain’s office. And, here, I
as 1 wish to blend utility with information, i
I woul 1 just say—that should any for
eigner visit London about the time of the i
opening of Parliament, he will find little |
difficulty in gaining admission, if he will i
apply io the Lord Chamberlain’s office, j
and enclose bis card. To respectable per- j
sons, especially strangers from abroad, a ;
i refusal is rarely given, if the application :
i be made in time.
We will, then, suppose ourselves in the i
gallery of the House of Lords, which I
: r» . # 7
; have on a former occasion desciibed, and
i it will therefore be only necessary to say, |
; that at the upper end of the room, on a |
i slightly elevated platform, are three I
i chairs richly decorated; the cent re one is j
1 tlie throne; it is a permanent fixture of
i the House of Lords. The other two !
chairs are of a temporary nature, arising i
1 out of the personal relations of the reign- |
ing sovereign. One is for the accommo- j
dation of Prince Albert, the other, small I
one, is reserved for the juvenile Prince of j
Wales, whose actual presence on these
i grand occasions has not yet gratified the
| longing eyes of the ladies.
; The House at this moment presents a ,
most brilliant scene. Every nook and !
corner is radiant with beauty, and the
Peeresses actually dazzle one with their !
i diamonds. The large gallery in which
| we are crowded is reserved for those ad
| mined by the Lord Chamberlain’s tickets, |
and its first row is set apart for the use of i
the reporters of the press, who sit ready I
with pencils sharpened and note-bnoks j
open, for the proceedings to commence.
A buz of conversation fills the atmos- i
phere, and the body of the house is the :
only parlof it which is absolutely empty. 1
: This space, however, soon becomes occu
pied, for the peers in their robes begin to
assemble, and the judges in scarlet and
j ermine, and the bishops in black and
; lawn, are conspicuous objects. Hark!
! there is a flourish of trumpets, and expec
tation is at its height—then a burst of
cheering is beard close to the House,
j The peers, whose duty it is to escort her
Majesty, disappear. The Queen has ar
rived, and the hubbub of the assembly
i has subsided into expectant silence.
A few minutes elapse—there is a slight
! commotion at the side doors, which are
presently flung open, and the whole as
; sembly rises, and stands awaiting the
j presence of the Sovereign. Heralds,
i pursuivants, equerries and others pour in,
| clothed in rich but quaint costume; and
j they are followed by the Lord Privy Seal,
; the President of the Council, the Lord
Chancellor, the Earl Marshal, and the no.
blemen who carry respectively, the cap
i of maintenance, the sword of state, and
the crown on its gorgeous cushion. The
Queen is close behind, a crimson velvet
i robe covering the rich dress, A tiara of
diamonds, and the insignia of’lhe order of
the garter, complete the regal costume.
Her Majesty leans upon the arm of Prince
Albert, who wears his orders and a field
marshal’s uniform; and the royal pair, as
they pass to the throne, are followed by
the ladies of the household and the attend
! ant pages.
I shall nos tax the reader’s patience
with a description of the various ceremo
nials attendant on the opening of the
i House, and the delivery of the roval
————— mmmmmm bb— —
speech. Such observations are difficult (
of portrayal with pen ai.d ink—so we will j
imagine that her Majesty has delivered |
her usual address, and that we have* left;,*
the gallery to witness her departure from
the House. Ha! we are just in time to j
witness the carriage move off, whilst the
: band strikes np the National Anthem.
Meanwhile business is about to com
mence in right earnest within. Political
events tendered the recent royal speech, j
and the subsequent debate, more than or
dinarily interesting.
Nol'a quarter, at the very utmost half,
an hour can have elapsed, since the last
word of the speech died away upon the I
royal lips, and already the evening papers !
are out, and selling in the streets, with a
full report of it. Within four hours af
terward'.-, it was read in every direction,
at distances of more than two hundred
and fifty miles from London—most of the
papers having made previous arrange
ments, and despatched special expresses.
Sharp work, this!

FROM OftIkJiL'UOPLAX CORRESPONDENT. !
-r-' Paris, June 29, 184 G.
Banning-after the date of my last
rtgssive, we were inexpressibly relieved
and exhilarated by the news of General
Taylor’s*. victories over the Mexicans.—
So mucnß*sim'ster prediction from your
side of even in my
confident mind Vague apprehensions for
the safety of the absolute
despondency in some of my Cut
we are more than indemnified; feu rope'’*'
is impressed in the most beneficial way,
by tlie battles, the subsequent proceed- |
ingsof Congress, and the patriotic manj- j
testations of the whole Union, It is now
understood how the immense majority of
the Ameiican people would act in the
event of a rupture with Great Britain or
any European Power. Before the end
of the silting of the Deputies on the 17th
instant, two eminent members of the
Chamber (of the Opposition) went to Ver
sailles, where I then was, to congratulate
me on the Rio Grande occurrences, and
to describe the effect of the intelligence on \
the Chamber. Lively satisfaction, petf
vaded the assembly; most of the Censer
vatives even betrayed that feeling; Mr.
Guizot, two of his colleagues, and a few
of his paity, the nearest and most devoted
were alone chap-fallen; their disconcer
tion served to amuse the rest. It was
added by visiters that, should war be
tween the United States and England en
sue, twenty thousand French volunteers,
I under the command of experienced or
-1 ficers, would at once endeavor to reach j
your shores for the purpose of joining in I
the invasion of Canada. 'Phis does not i
; pass from me as an incitement to war, i
! which I deprecate as much as any one, I
I under the proper reserves of honor and j
i right; hut it is meant as evidence of the j
; disposition of the French in general.— ;
: They are far from being reconciled to the j
| British. With a few exceptions, 1 have j
; not, in my long and various intercourse |
j with Frenchmen, encountered any who
entertained for the British, as a nation,
i other sentiments than jealousy, dislike,
, and immemorial resentments. Veteran i
officers of the garrison of Versailles, with I
! whom I have chatted at the reading-room ;
i which I frequent there, on the operations i
' of General Tay or, pronounce the most :
flattering judgment in respect to boldness, ;
! skill, and the entire professional process, j
The French Opposition press has been, in ;
I the main, liberal, but a slight military
jealousy may he deemed natural where
! temperament and history beget the high- ’
i est, and in a degree, exclusive bellige- i
rent pretensions. Your troops on the Rio t
Grande fought the Mexicans under more
> o
I disadvantages than did the British the i
Sikhs on the Sutlej, or the French the
1 Moors at isly. Further success, with
: like moderation in the use of victory, and
: a language so simple, so unambitious
as that of the official despatches, will
strengthen and animate the friends of
the United States and of republicanism
throughout Eusope. It strikes me, as I
read your reports of the speeches in Con
gress, that the oratory of both Houses is
more bombastic than heretofore: the ques
tion and the transactions of war may have
■ stimulated and inflated the rhetorical vein:
■ in some cases, the intumescence justly
provokes European ridicule.
