Satttbday, November 20. Paeliament Re-As...
Satttbday , November 20 . Paeliament re-assembled last night . In the House of Commons the business was miscellaneous . In answer to Sir John Shelley , Mr . Secretary Walpole repeated his declaration of a preceding evening , that as regarded Convocation , Government bad no intention of interfering , unless that body should ask licence from the Crown . Otherwise the question would be left to the Archbishop . The only deviation which had been made from the ordinary course was in the Address having been debated in Convocation for three days instead of one , and in a committee having been appointed—a proceeding with which Government could not interfere . But he declared that nothing should induce him to advise the Crown to grant a licence to Convocation .
In reply to Lord John Russell , the Colonial Secretary intimated that he hoped soon to have favourable accounts from the seat of war at the Cape , and he also , at some length , entered into explanations why it had been deemed necessary to delay the transmitting of the constitution to that colony . The House had become very full , it being expected that Sir Alexander Cockburn would bring the Derby election case under the consideration of the House , but the Speakee , on Sir Alexander's name being called , expressed a decided conviction that the petition was
informal . Sir A . Cockbtten declared his readiness to withdraw his motion , adding his opinion , however , that the petitioners were bound to give the parties complained against an opportunity of explanation . Sir J . Yahde BuLiiEK professed his readiness to enter at once into the case on the part of Major Beresford . The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that there would he no difficulty in devising the means of a speedy inquiry into the question , which he was sure everybody desired . The motion was then withdrawn , and the House instantly thinned , with some apparent disappointment .
The SoLiciTOE-GENEitAii for Ieeland obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the proceedings in the superior courts of common law in that country . He explained its important details at great length , and stated that it contained 274 clauses . Mr . Hume moved for a call of the House for the day before that of Mr . Villiers ' s motion , considering that a question of so much iui ]> ortance could not be finally Kottlod unless there was a duo attendance of tho representatives of the nation . Mr . Robert Palmer saw no object in tho motion , as thoro was no means of enforcing the attendance of members , except at tho imsre cull of their names . After wniio observations from
Mr . Evvart and Mr . Carter in favour of the motion , and from Lord Ili : uNAKi > against it , the Chancellor , of the Uxciikqukr remarked that the time for the call Mas v <> ry short , but bo . should certainly not oppose the notion , uu that of Tuesday was in u considerable degree : > question of confidence in Ministers . Sergeant Sumo declared Unit it would bo quite impossible for certain ' •• ish members to attend . Lord . John Russki / i < thought notice should have been given of thin motion ' "nniediately on that of Mr . Villiers ' s . Hut the House was always lenient in judging excuses for absence , and ht ! though ! , the cull should take place . The House then divided ; and Mr . Hume ' s motion was carried by 147 to 14 H—minority in its favour , 5 .
Marl y in the evening flic CiiANUici / UMi of the Kx-< ; U i-X , v ( 11 ; i t giivo notice ; Unit , lie should move the followi"t f amendment to Mr . Villiers ' s motion : - " ' 1 'lin . t Uvm House acknowledg es with mit . islaetion thai 'ho che apness of provisions occasioned by rerent legislation |"' u mainl y contributed to improve tho condition and to '" x'reaNo tdo eoniforl , of tho working classes , and that , im' ¦ ' ¦ st rirlod competition having I" ' ' adopted after due dohheration as tbo princip le of our commercial . system , this Hoiiho is of opinion that it is ( he duty of ( jlovoriuiiont iin-•;<' nervedb y to adhere to that policy in those measures of '"' annul and admiiiistnitivo reform which , under the eir' ¦"" istaneos of the country they may doom it their duty to '" troduen . "
'" the House of Lords , tho Kail of St . ( IkumainH inquired from the ( lovernmeiit whether there was any l"' <> spee | , of 11 ,,, minutes of proceedings of the Internal tlu « ud Sanitary Conference hold in Vnr ' m in 1851 , for
the purpose of considering the quarantine regulations of Europe , being soon laid upon the table ? He also wished to know upon whose advice the letter from the Pr ; vy Council to the Commissioners of Customs was written , which directed that all vessels arriving from certain northern ports , or having recently suffered from cholera , should be placed in a state of precautionary quarantine , one passage in which he considered abandoned the only principle upon which the quarantine system couldbemaintained ? The noble earl further inquired whether the La Plata had been released from quarantine , and if not , what measures had been taken for the reception and accommodation of the unfortunate
persons on board the vessel ? The Earl of Malmesbubt replied to the first question , that he could not lay the papers upon the table because the negotiations were not yet concluded ; but he had every reason to hope they would not terminate without ten or twelve countries signing the convention , if not all . The Earl of Lonsdale , in reply to the second question , said the letter in question had been written upon the advice of a skilful physician . With regard to the La Plata , a physician had been sent down to the port at which the vessel had arrived , from whence he would forward such recommendations as might seem desirable to him .
In reply to a question from Lord Redesdale , Lord Colchestee said the Government had come to the determination of moving for a select committee to consider the subject of railway regulation . The Earl of Derby added that when railway companies came to Parliament for new and amended bills to extend the powers they already possessed , the opportunity should be taken to introduce fresh regulations for the conveyance of mails and troops . The event of the sitting , however , was a speech from the Earl of Dekby , who spoke the panegyric of the conduct of the people , in expressing his deep satisfaction and thankfulness at the result of the great
solemnity of the funeral of the late Duke of "W ellington . The Police and the Troops had behaved most admirably . "But , " he exclaimed , " we must not be unjuat to other classes , without whose signal co-operation and admirable conduct I will not say the efforts of the military and police would have been unavailing , but they undoubtedly rendered their task , arduous as it must have been under any circumstances , a matter of comparative ease and safety . M y lords , when you consider how large a portion of tlie population of the United Kingdom was for that single day crowded in the streets of the metropolis—when you remember , those at least to whose lot it fell to take a part in
that procession , and to see it throughout its wbolo length ¦—when you remomber that throughout that long lino , extending to about tbreo miles , from Grosvenor-plaeo to St . Paul ' s cathedral , there was not one singlo unoccupied foot of ground , and that you passed through a living sea of faces all turned to look upon that great spectacle—when you saw every houso , every window , every house-top , loaded with persons anxious to pay their last tribute of respect to tho memory of England ' s greatest son—when you saw those persons ( those , at , least , in tho streets ) remaining with entire and unflinching patience for many hours in a position in which movement was scarcely possible , and yet that hardly a single accident occurred to tho
most feeble woman or child among that vast assemblage —when through the whole of that route not only was a perfect decorum preserved , and a perfect and ready assistance given to tho efforts of the police and military , but that there was no unseemly eagerness to witness tho magnificent spectacle , no light or thoughtless applause of its splendour ; but tho people of England , in the awful silence ) of those vast crowds , testified in tlto most emphatic manner tho sense in which every man among tlioni felt tho public loss that England has sustained . M y lords , I know not ; bow you looked upon this great manifestation of public feeling , and of public good sense and order ; but 1 know this , that as 1 passed along those linos it was with pride and satisfaction 1 felt that I was a
fellow-countryman of tlioso who knew so well how to regulnto and control themselves . And I could not help entertaining a hope that those foreign vis . il . ors who have done us and themwlves tho honour of assisting at this great ceremonial might , on this occasion as well as on the occasion of the 1 st of May , 1 H 51 , bear witness back to their own countries bow safely , and to what an extent , a people may be relied upon over whom the strongest bold of their government was their own reverence and respect for tho free institutions of I heir country and the princip les of popular selfgovernment , controlled and modified by a constitutional monarchy . " ( Oheers . ) Turning to the scene , in St . 1 ' mil ' s , ho said , with evident emotion , and in faltering and subdued tones :
"And when the eloso of that iinpi'fissivo ceremony approached when , amidst the solemn and mournful music , slowly , and inch by inch , the eollin that bore the illustrious departed descended into its last long rest ing-place , I , my Lords , was near enough to see tho countenances of many veteran companions of his labours and his triumphs , and wan near enough to hear the suppressed sobs , and to witness the hardly-checked tear which would not have di « - graeed tho oheeii of England's bravest Hun , us they looked down for tho last , time upon all that was mortal of our mighty hero . "
lie praised tho conduct of the French Minister in attending the ceremony , and lnuded the high principle of the Duke , who only fought to Becuro a tainting peace .
" I trust that -we shall bear this in mind , not in words only , but by actions and in our policy , and that , setting aside all political and party considerations , we shall all concur in this opinion—that in order to be peaceful , England must be powerful ; but that if England oug ht to ho powerful , she ought to be so only that she may be the more secure of peace . " ( Cheers . ) The noble Earl then concluded by moving the adjournment of the House . The motion was agreed to , and their Lordships adjourned shortly before seven o ' clock .
Thursday Was Observed As A Holyday In Th...
Thursday was observed as a holyday in the Dublin law courts , and all the Government offices save the Post-office . The Bank , Stock Exchange , and Encumbered Estates Court were open as usual . Several of the vessels in the Liffey had their flags half-mast high , while the bells of the College and Christ Church tolled the death peal for the late Duke of Wellington . We are authorized to state , that , by permission of the Dean and Chapter of St . Paul's , the public will be admitted to view the fittings of the interior of the
cathedral on Monday next , and during the remainder of the ensuing week . The hours of admission on Monday will be from 12 till 8 : on the remaining days of the week from 8 till 8 ; and , to persons specifying' the hours between which they desire to be adinitted , tickets will be delivered on and after Monday , from 8 A . M . till 8 P . M ., at the Excise Office , Broad-street , and at the stores of the Commissioners of her Majesty ' s Works and Buildings in Smith-street , Westminster . No person will be admitted without a ticket , and the number of admissions will be limited to 700 \ vithin each hour .
Tlie French Boat, With The Levant Mail, ...
Tlie French boat , with the Levant mail , left Constantinople on the 6 th , having been detained twentyfour hours by the French ambassador , who was anxious to l'emit to his Government tlie result of his conferences with the Sultan concerning Abd-el-Kader ' s internement at Brussa . In these interviews the Sultan proved himself nervously anxious to fix with great precision the terms on which he is to receive his uninvited guest before the arrival of the Emir .
Letters from Kalisch state that important movements of troops are going forward throughout the entire kingdom of Poland . In Kalisch and its neighbourhood , which throughout the summer have been void of troops , an entire army corps is expected , and will be located along the entire western frontier of liussian-Poland . From these arrangements , the writer states , tbe inference drawn on the spot is , that the Cy . ar is preparing for eventualities in the west of Europe .

We regret to have to record the demise of tho Karl ot Shrewsbury , which took place on the 9 th inst ., at Naples , after a short illness . The noblo carl lias been sojourning on tbe continent during tbe last two years , and was recentl y at Palermo .
