Tlio procession to the House or Lord.; was of the same character as ihat witnessed 911 the occasion of the opening of the tirst Parlianieut of King luiward's reign, while within the Upper House were seen the sauie Stale pageantry, the same historic dresses and the same revival of ancient forms. After robing. King Euward and Queen Alexandra entered llie House of Peers and occupied their thrones, beneath a canopy, with the Prince and Princess of Wales on cither.side of them.

"reeeiveil with demo nitrations of the liveliest aiYectime-, and I e.te convinced their presence nerved to i rivet move closely the bonds of mutual regard and loyalty by which the vigor of the empire is maintained. "I regret," said ITis Majesty, "that the war in South Africa is not yet ended, though the course of the operations has been favorable to our arms, the area of war largely reduced and Industries arc being resumed in my new colonies. The necessity of relieving those of my troops who have most felt the strain of war has afforded me the opportunity of ngalu availing myself of the loyal and patriotic offers of my colonies, and further contingents poon will reach South Africa front the Boininion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand." Then came the following clause: "1 have concluded with tin* IVeshlcnt oi wii* lumen tern's :i uv:uy. hip i revisions oT which will 1 Militate llie construction of an interooennie canal. under gunranircs that its mutrality will lie maintained. ami that if will be open to the commerce and shipping of all nations."

The Kin,?, beneath his robe, wore n Field Marshal's uniform. The Queen's dross was of black velvet, surmounted by a robe, trimmed with ermine. The Peeresses all wore ostrich feathers in their hair, and were clad richly in evening voltes of the most varied colors, white satin, however, predominating. The display of jewels was unusually dnxzliup. The only depart tire from the extremely decorous character of the proceedings occurred when the King referred to the humanity of the Itriiish troops in South Africa, when Peers and Peeresses cheered heartily, to the evi dent satisfaction of His Majesty.
