As Mr. Speaker ascends to the chair, which stands upon ia crimson dais mounted by thro or four stops, and seats himself beneath the carved oatk calnopy, rcsemlblilg an old. fishioned b;ed-tester, the member1(i-s, and the bewigged and gowned clerk, with his two assistants, at the table in fl out of the Speaker's chair, all flake their soats, and business is 1. soinedl. For there vas an interr-upt-ion. At about a quarter to four the Speaker entered the House, alnd seated himself in a chair at the table. Members presenf. were few in num1 her--probably not fifty. Then the challAin entered, the doors wore closed and locket], praiyers Nwro said, aId afterwards, 'there being enough members prosent to '-make a House" (that is to say, forty), Mr. Speakor took the Chair his own, beneath the vnnopy. ising soon after, lie is in the pro cess of reading seime business upon the official p: pars in his hands, probably relating to past matters in con nection with new b rancli rail ways to wich nob)ody sieemis to pay any atention, when a loud voice at the lobby-end of the House-that opposite to the chair--suddenly shiouts: "Blaick Rod( !" Doors are flung wide, and directly after, an ofl1cia-Ycoomai Usher of the B3lack Rod-conmes into sight, in his black court diress and sword, bearing carefully before him, as if lhe were rather afraid of it, the in, signia of his office, which looks like a thin black sceptre. He advances a few stops up the centre of the floor, and b)ows lowv to the Speaker,J takes a few mforeO steps and bows again-a few more, another bow-a few more, another bow-and so on, till he reacbes the foot of the table, wvhich, with the mace lying acrosa~ it in a couplen of brackets, and a breast. wvorkc of Parijamen tary tomes, dis~ patch-boxes and p)apers, stops his further p)rogross. Now amid profound silence, he dolivers the mnessago of wvhich lie is the boarer-namely, to commnand the presence of the Speaker in the Upper House to hear the Royal as son gienby the commission to iortanils which now become acts of Parliament, and lawv. The Yeoman Usher is an adap,t at navigation, for having delivered his message, he, without altering his position, begins to retire, having, in nautical langnage, well t,aken his bearin s. so thiat. thonghhn man 1008 he glance round to soo if ho is ,oing right; but backing a few stops, ,to bows-backs a few more stops, Iid bows-and so onl and on till he )Mlcks and b1ows himself along Mo floor aid through th loorxwIy ; so great is tho rospect [xaid to the Speakler, to whom and 0 Whoso (ict 11111 overy man ill that 1onse morally a1nd11 physically bows.

The har is a line drawn from the m(l of the voats across the Houso, 1l1d, t9chnic.Aly, when a member is below this line he is rot in th1e EHouso, andi cannot address the ipoiakor. It is holow this line that 1in0mbers stand about ; within it lhey 11111s at aOnm how to the Speak Br, walk n) the floor, take their Nea ts, which thoy mosty supplement by plimjg o thoir hats ; and no 11111 is allowo(l to stand save when le un11covers and rises to addre.s Ahe Speaker. It is also bolow this ,ar that the sorgeant-at-arns and uis deputy sit, and beyond it no nessengoror may213 papis. When one )rings iin a lettor or card for an 10onorablo m11em1ber, he can come xithinli the doors of the Houso, after Whihli ho has to wait for the good Aflicos of omo member who will iaarry it within tile sacred prooinota Lo its destination.
