Imperial Parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS Thursday, Nov. 4. The first session of the nosy Parliament was opened to-day, by Royal commission, at 2 o'clock. Judging by the number of persons outside the Palace, and in the approaches to the body of the house, there seemed to be a good deal of public curiosity excited by tho occasion, or perhaps, more probably there was a public misapprehension, that the ceremonial would be marked with some display of state and consequence.

The first thing that struck one on entering the houso was the absence of the Duke." Fivo years and two weeks when the last Parliament was opened for the first time, his Grace was among the earliest in attendance but now, his place knows him no moro," and for many a day the well-known figuro will be missed at the accustomed seat by the table, to which the ere of every stranger was directed tho instant ho entered the house. Tho Lords' Commissioners were seated by the time the gallery doors were opened, aud no other peers wero in the house, but Lord Brougham could be seen iu the distance engaged in enorgotie conversation with some peers at the sido of the throne, and the Duke of Leiiister was standing at tho side bar. The clerks of the houso were at tho table. The Commons, who were summoned by Sir Augustus Clifford, presented themselves at tho bar, headed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir J. Paking-ton, Sir D.

Le Marchant, the chief clerk, and several members of tho Cabinet and Ministry, with a largo number of lion, members, who filled the whole of the allotted apace at the end of the chamber. Tho Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duko of Northumberland, tho Maiquis of Salisbury the Duke of Montrose, aud the Earl of Lonsdale. When the Commons approached, after the usual interchange of three formal bows between the Lords Commissioners iflid the hon. members in tho front row, The Lord Chancellor desired the clerk at the table to road the Royal commission, which was done accordingly. Then The Lord Chancellor said, My Lords and gentlemen, wo have it in command from her Majesty to let you know that you shall hereafter be informed of the cause of calling this Parliament together but, it being necessary that a Speaker for the Houso of Commons should Brat be chosen, you will for that purpose return to the placo prepared for your meeting, and there bo pleased to choose a Speaker, and present such person whom you shall choose here to-morrow at 2 o'clock for her Majesty's Royal approbation.

The members of the House of Commons then withdrew, and tho House was adjourned by the Lord Chancellor during pleasure After a short interval tho House resumed, prayers having been read in the meantime From 40 to 50 peers took the oaths, among whom were the Earl of Eglinton, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland Low, Denmap, Lord Glenelg, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, Lord Monteagle, tho Ear! of Malmosbury, the Earl of Lonsdalo, and tho Bishops of London, Oxford, and Manchester.

Serious Accident on the Brighton Railway.

An alarming accident occurred on Monday morning on this line ot railway to the express train leaving Brighton at 10, a.m. The train had arrived within about 100 yards of the Old Red Hill Station, and was proceeding rapidly up the incline, when it came into violent collision with a goods train, most improperly shunting at the moment from the down line on to the up. Three or four of the trucks were destroyed, and both engines completely disabled. The effect of the shock on the passenger train was very serious. The train consisted of 12 or 14 carriages, aud most of them were full of passengers, very few of whom escaped injury.

Tho worst case was that of a lady who was riding in a first-class carriage, who sustained a compound fracture below the knee. More than an hour elapsed before the line could be cleared of the debris. The Earl of Chichester and Lord Foley were both in the train, and very much shakes by he collision. received a wound on tile head. Manufactures and Commerce.

The Freeman's Journal, with much alarm, announces that no less than sixteen petitions are to be presented against the return of as many members of the Irish Brigade at the late general election. That more than half the number the parties to be petitioned against will lose their' seats seems to be certain but this is not the only danger that threatens from the same quarter.

The trial of almost any of the sixteen petitions will make such a disclosure of the conduct of the Priests as will force Parliament to' adopt some measure to control the tyranny of these despots. In some counties and boroughs, it is intimated that the parties retumed will rather abdicate than give occasion for disclosures so filial to Romish interests as must come out upon an Extension op the Income Tax to Ibeland. It is stated that a semi-official communication has reached Dublin, conveying the assurance that her Majesty's Ministers mean to submit a proposition to Parliament for tlie extension of the income tax to Ireland.

The exodus has done its work here, at all events, so far as soldiering is concerned; and if the Commander-in-Chief wants Irishmen to stop French bullets in case of an invasion, he must reduce the standard, raise the bounty, advance the pay, and augment the rations and the Honourable Company will have to do the same, or else they will have no Irishmen to keep down the Sepoys.

After referring to the low state of tteiemc literature in Scotland tor nearly two centuries past, and to the impulse which the study of Greek had recently received from the circumstance of its being no longer made part of the duty of the Professors of Greek in the Universities to teach the mere grammatical elements of the language, Professor Biackie proceeded to show what was the position which he claimed for ureek literature in reference to academical studies, aud to the intellectual culture of the nineteenth century.

As a supplement- to a merely modern culture, he held that there could be nothing comparable to it.

The Council agreed to appoint a deputation consisting of not less than ten of their number, to be present on the occasion, and voted a sum of 100 to defray their expenses. A similar application has been made to the Dublin losvn Council, by whom a resolution has been adopted to avail themselves of the privilege.

Mr Adam Black was called to preside, who shortly introduced the right hon. gentleman to the meeting. Mr Macaulay, after thanking the meeting for the kind reception they had given him, alluded to the many changes that had occurred since they had met together in that place to the removal of his friends Sir James Gibson Craig and Lord Jeffrey. Aud since ho had last stood in the House of Commons, Mr Charles Bailor had been removed and two of the most eminent men of the country had also passed away the Duke of Wellington aud Sir Bobert Peel the one the oracle of tho House of Lords, aud the other of the House of Commons. He should hardly know the House of Comirious again without Sir Bobert Peel.

It was not only, however, in the disappearance of eminent men that the face of the world bad been changed during tho five years which had elapsed since he mot tho electors of Edinburgh. Never, since the origin of their race, had there been five years more fertile iu great interest, or five years which had left such useful lessons behind them. They had lived many lives in that time, and the revolutions of ages had been compressed into a few months. France, Germany, aud Italy, what a history had theirs been Tlie right hon. gentleman proceeded to sketch, in vivid colours and with great power, the revolutionary movements of jthc Continent of Europe during 1818, and the reaction of military despotism by which that was followed, and asked why it was that this country had escaped those calamities They owed this, under the blessing of God, to a wise and noble Constitution- the work of many generations of great men.

Let them profit, then, by the lesson which they had received, and let them see to it that they profited by the experience of others rather than their own. Let them prize that Constitution let them amend, but not destroy it. Let them shun extremities, for extremities were in themselves a positive evil, and, as had been proved by experience, necessarily led to their opposites. If they loved civil and religious freedom, let them ever, in the day of danger, uphold law aud order; and if they were zealous for law and order, let them prize, as the best security for law and order, their civil and religious freedom. He-believed that those pacific victories of reason and public opinion, which they had.

seen in England during recent events, were pre-eminently owing to the great commercial reform witli which the name of Sir Robert Peel was associated, and tho Parliamentary reform with which the name of Lord John Russell was connected. (Cheers.) Ho had particularly drawn the attention of the meeting to these two great reforms, because, in his opinon, it would be the duty of the House of Commons, to which, through their kindness, he had been sent, to defend the commercial reform of Sir Robert Peel, and to extend the Parliamentary reform of Lord John Russell. (Hear.) With respect to commercial reform, though he said it would be their duty to defend it, he did not believe they should find the task very difficult. Judging from the contradictory speeches of the Ministerial orators, it was impossible for him to pretend to say what the conduct of Government would be with regard to Protection nevertheless, he could confidently predict that the great reform effected by Sir Robert Peel was perfectly safe. (Loud cheers.) Ho believed that the Act which repealed the Corn Laws stood on a firmer foundation than when it was passed and, in proof of this, he referred to the prosperity and contentment of the people.

It was an experiment then it was so uo longer for no person could dispute that tlie- country, since the repeal of the Corn Laws, had increased both in trade and industry and thoy had not now, as they had then, the opposition of the labouring agricultural classes to contend against. With regard to the other question of Parliamentary reform, he thought the time was now near wheu that question would require grave consideration when it would be necessary to reconsider the law of reform of 1832, and to amend temperately and cautiously, but iu a large aud liberal spirit He was of opinion that this revision could not be made with advantage except through tho Ministers of the Crown and he greatly doubted whether they would be able to carry through any well-matured and complete plan of reform, if they had not tlie Government heartily with them. He hoped, before long, to see such a ministry as could take up the question of Parliamentary reform. He believed that no one would think he said this from any interested feeling the truth was, that in no case whatever should he become tho member of any Ministry for, during the remainder of his public life, he should be the servant of none but the electors of the city of Edinburgh. (Cheers.) The right hon.

gentleman then briefly alluded to the beneficial effect which might be expected from the present freedom and rapidity of intercourse between nations, and to the extensive emigration, and said that he believed in all those changes they would see the best solution of the question of the franchise'; not so mucli in the lowering of tho franchise to the level of the great masses, as by the raising, in a time very short in the existence of the nation, the great mass of the people to the level of rational and intelligent freemen. Mr Macaulay apologised for not taking up other questions on which he had purposed to address them. He IimI intended to speak something about tho ballot, as to which they all knew his opinions something also about University tests and something in reference to the religious equality movement but he felt that he was unable to proceed further.

A jubilee meeting and soiree were held on Wednesdaj', at Kirkintulloch, in honour of the Rev. Dr Marshall, who has completed the 50th year of his ministry. In the course of a long speech, the reverend Doctor said For many years I was known as the advocate of Voluntaryism. It was with me the voluntary question had its origin and for a considerable period I stood alone in this part of the world. For what I did in that matter I have no cause to be ashamed.

Few controversies, perhaps, have been conducted to so prosperous an issue. Seldom has it happened that views so promulgated spread so rapidly or so widely, and have met so cordial a reception from the public, or taken such a hold on the minds of men of all ranks and, in all parts of the world. I have the satisfaction to think that the great subject of religious liberty is much better understood now than in the earlier part of my life, and I have the further satisfaction to think that my name, humble as it is, is associated with those who have brought about this change. At the same time, I am well aware that the rL. 1 1 suujeci, oi religious noerty is not a subject of supreme importance.

It is not a subject immediately connected with man's cii. vation; it is a subject with regard to which good man, equally worthy, equally pious, and equally conscientious, may entertain different views. You will perhaps be surprised to hear mo say and yet do say it most sincerely that there are churches more than one, existing in this country at the present moment which do not hold the voluntary principle, but which rather reject it, yet towards whom, notwithstanding, my heart yearns milltVl mni-a -1 t. i vuu uuiYttiu tuurcnes oy wnom tnat principle is most zealously assumed; and I would rather cast in my lot with them for this world and for the world to come. The truth is I have ceased to be what may be called an ardent Voluntary from the time I perceived that the leading Voluntary Churchmen seemed to me to depart from what I conceived to be some of the essential doctrines of the gospel.

From that time, although, properly speaking, I changed my principle, I confess I have become less forward in the cause, and I have cared loss whether it succeeded or not. At the last great Voluntary meeting I attended, I took occasion to say, what I will still say. that I look npon the fruits of the Church that is, her soundness in the faith as a much more important matter; a matter unspeak-ably more important than the freedom of the Church that is than any liberty she may obtain for herself in her relations with the State. Indeed, at no time have I been an extreme Voluntary, neither have carried my views so far as some have done Again and again have I said, both by speeches and writings that the civil magistrate is bonnd not. less than ntWa the gospel when it is proposed to him, that he is bound to enter into the Church, and that, in connection with the Church he is bound to do all that he can for the cause of Christ that is all that he can consistently with the nature of religion.

The plan of the palace at present in erection is an octagon, surmounted by a Creek cross, having a dome supported by columns each anil of tho cross is 149 feet broad, so that souio idea of tho magnificence of the building may be formed.

A Marriage in High Life. Moro than fifty years havo passed since the following narrativo was related by an old gentleman, above seventy years of ago, as having occurred in lis youth. Its date may therefore be about 1 HO. A nobleman, having broken his constitution and injured his estate by acareor of dissipation, determined to marry aud and, having paid his addresses to an heiress, and been duly accepted, the wedding-day was fixed, and great preparations made for its celebration. In those times news travelled slowly, and the intelligence of the courtship only reached the lady's aunt, from whom she had large expectations, three or four days before the bridal day.

She was, however, an enorgotie lady of tho old school she posted to London, and made such good use of her time that sho succeeded in setting the match aside. But tho letter announcing this was only written by hor niece late on the preceding night, and was despatched very early on the purposed wcuuiug-iiuy, ami, uemgtaKcn to tne Bridegroom's bedside, was read by him there. A short time after, ho told his valet to go into tbeservants' hall, and inquire if any of the women would bo married that morning. Tho servants, knowing their lord's generosity and fondness for joking, thought that ho wished to signalise his own marriage by portioning another couple, and laughingly declined. The valet returned, and said" There is nobody that can bo married to-day, my lord, but the country wench that came up last week, and she says that she has uo sweetheart." Oh he replied tell her to put on her iSunday dress, and come to me in tho blue breakfast-room." He dressed in the suit prepared they met and the result of that interview must be known by its consequences.

A mantle and veil of lace wore thrown over the country dress of a modest, liandsomo, and lively village girl, and she became that morning a peeress of England Much sensation was caused but in the world of fashion it was only a nine days' wonder, for the married pair went immediately from Loudon. She possossed an excellent disposition, and strong good sense. With renewed health and spirits, his lordship's enjoyment of country life increased, his property improved by care and, above all, a beautiful progeny surrounded him and their devoted domestic mother, who affectionately closed her eyes in peace, receiving ins partiug blessing many years after his happy choice.

For this purpose he remained so quiet and reasonable that he was released: aud a saint, who happoued to touch him that day, gained great reputation by his cure.

Those who have preceded me have intimated the great and eminent abilities which are necessary to be possessed by him who fills the seat which you now occupy, and it is unnecessary for me, when I remember that during the four Parliaments of the Queen yon, havo occupied the same post, myself to refer to them. But, knowing the courage with which you can vindicate our privileges, and the firmness with which you can maintain order in our debates, and the spirit of impartiality which always guides your conduct uaviug mid tuu nonour or a seat in this House when you were first elected to that chair, and having been a member of this House during the interval I may, perhaps, without presumption, notice one trait in your conduct which I have often observed, and which, I believe, entitles you to our increased confidence and trust.

It is this. I have always observed that in those conjunctures which occasionally occur, when mere routine canuot guide the individual who occupies the chair, and when you have been taxed at the moment, your resources have never laueu, aud you nave Deeu always sustained by the knowledge and the self-respect which is necessary at such a crisis. There is one other reason why I think it a subject of great congratula- "uo nuuse aim tue country tnat our choice has fallen upon you. I cannot but remember that not only is this a new Parliament, but that the individual who, from his position has jriauiuuuiijf uuu cum over us uusmoss has, we all must admit, hardly that sufficient experience which is necessary for the post ho occupies and though I feel confident that, when the order and honour of this House is concerned, I shall never, so long as I sit here, appeal in vain to any gentleman, on whatever side of the House he may sit, still I feel that, under the circumstances, tae selection we nave made is one on which the Houso is much to bo congratulated falling, as it has done, upon an individual who not only possesses the confidence of the House, but who has frequently and repeatedly received the approbation of our gracious Sovereign.

DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A BEHEADED MAN.

(From a Correspondent of Notes and Queries.) A tew weeks ago. clcannar out tho ruins of nlrl Minnol ni Nuneham Regis, in Warwickshire, which had been pulled down tan uiu one ueury tower; aoour, iu years since, we thought it necessary to trencli tno whole space, that we might more certainly mark out the boundaries of the building, as we wished tn i-n. store it in some measure to its former state; it had been used as a stacic-yara, ana a depository of rubbish by the tenants on the farm on which it was, ever since its dilapidation. We bean to trench, at tlie west end, and came on a groat many bones and nuui mi um coinus uau crumbled away, till fiiidin the earth had been moved, we wont deener and di leaden coffin quite perfect, but without date or inscription of iuj ivimi; nau ueeu mi outer woonen coffin which was decayed, but quantities of the black rotted wood were all round it. wo cut tno ieaci and loltteu back the ton so as not to rW.mv beneath was a wooden coffin in good preservation, and also without any inscription.

As soon as the leaden ton was rnllprl back, a most powerful aromatic sraell diffused itself nil place; wo thon unfastened tho inner coffin, and found the body yji a ui.iu cuiuiuuieu wim great care, and neaps ot rosemary and aromatic leaves piled ovor him. On examining tho body more closely, we found it had been beheaded; the head was separately wrapped up in linen, and tho linen shirt that covered the body was drawn quite over tho neck, where the head had been cut on; tno.iieaa was laid straight with the body, and whnre t.lin joining of tho neck and head should have been, it was tied round witii a uroaci oiaet; nooon, His hands wero crossed on his breast, the wrists were tied with black ribbon, and the thumbs were tied togethor with black ribbon. He had a peaked beard, and a quantity of long brown hair curled and nloM.Br with blnn.l rouna ms necK; tne only-mark on. anything about him was on tne mien on ms cnest, just aDove where his hands were crossed; on it wore tho letters worked iu black silk. On trenching towards tho channel we camo on four leaden coffins laid side by side, witli inscriptions ou each: ono containnrt tbn hnrW nf Francis, Earl of Chichester and Lord Dunsmore, 1653- the next jiuurtf uuunross ot umeaester, itjsz; another the uixiy oi uaciy Audrey lieigb, their daughter, 1640; and the fourth, the body of Sir John Anderson, son of Lady Chichester, by her first husband.

She looked exactly as if sho wero lying asleep, and seemod not more than 16 or 17 years old; her beauty was very great; oven her eyelashes and eyebrows were quite perfect, aud her eyes wero closed-no part ot nor taoe or figure was at all fallen iu. We also opened Lady Chichester's coffin, but with her tho erabalmins had an- parontly fiulcd; sho was a skeleton, though the coffin was half inn ot aromatic loaves; her hair, however, was ns fresh as if she lived; it was long, thick, and as soft and glossy as that of a child.

It contained tho body of a Damo Marie Browne daughtor of one of tho Leighs, and of Lady Marie, daughter to Lord Chancellor Braekley. This body was also nnite nBrf.nl-. and embalmed principally with a very small coffee.colonred seed, with which thecoffiu was nearly filled, and it also had so powernu a ponume tnat it miect the whole place, The linen, ribbon, wore quite strong and good in all these instances' ana romnmou so nltor exposure to tho air; wo kept a piece onl of oach coffin, and had it washed without its being at nil destroy cd.

Tho perfume of tho horbs and arums used in em. balming tliera was so sickening that wo were nil ill after inhaling it, and most of the mon employed in digging up the coffins were ill also. My object in sending this account is, if possible, to dis- cover who tho beheaded man is.
