The House of Commons was .very crowded , es pecially on the Giadslonlan sido. This was caused by Iho desire of the radicals' to give the now members for Kossundnlo and South Moultou u hearty groatlng.nnd the sornowhat insignificant looking gentleman who wrested Lord Ilartlngion's scat from tha unionist party was received with a volley which scorned to multo his hair stand on end , unless perhaps it Is always in that position.

This afternoon the center of Interest was Iho Ilouso of Lords , for everybody was curi ous lo know how iho young carl of Dudley would acquit himself of the ticklish task of proposing nn address In answer lo the queen's speech. The chamber was very crowded on the government stdo , but not on the oilier sido. The galleries were lllled wllh pccrossos.nll In deep mourning. Among them , you may bo sure , wns Lady Dudley und her son's wife. If a man's wlfo or mother is present when ho Is to make n speech shn Is bound to have a worsb tlmo than the man himself , but there was no necessity for alarm. Lord Dudley Is n manly looking fellow. Ho spolto well nnd In n loud and clear voice , not down In his boots as Iho Ilouso of Lords manner is. Everybody could hoar him dis tinctly , and tiikun allonothor I should sny thai 1 have never heard n belter maiden speech. What ho had to say was put il1 torso and vicorous English , committed to memory no doubt , but it came out in n natural and llowlng manner. On ii , however , the sneaker stopped , hesi tated , and was silent while you might have counted ten. To his mother , I daio sav. thai seemed hours. Wospoclalors who felt no special interest In the matter were rather afraid ho had broken down , but theru wns a slight ripple of a cheer nnd Iho youngster took courage , the missing link came back to him und ho went on gallantly to iho cud. Decidedly a noble lord wilh a' career before him. Ho sat dow n amid ( ] uito a burst of cheers for the starchy and cold blooded assembly In which ho spoke. SnllHliury'H .Sprrrli 1'ollowod. There came ono of our House of Commons mon who has recently succeeded his father Lord Lammcton. Ho also did well. I stop over Lord Kimberly , dull and wooden person. The prime minister followed , und it never pays to miss anything ho says. Ills manner is somewhat ponderous , his voice somowhul hard nnd un sympathetic and occasionally shows a ten dency to sit on u table. This last , however , he manages lo uocp in chock. Lore Salis bury's mailer Is always weighty. This alter- noon ho spoke at first with unusual slowness and deliberation. By nnd bv ho warmed up and mauo things lively for Lord Kimoorly. Ho explained why thognvorniiiuulhadnolyol settled the Newfoundland dllHcuhy , be cause unpatriotic opposition prevented it : but still ho hnpod to succeed. Then agricul tural Inoor was brought upon , the scene , palled on the licadjpld lp . behdvo himself properly ana ho , snoultr hnvo some moro small holdings , and so rndeii the prime min ister , evidently greatly to his own relief.

MIIMIIEI : oi' PAKMAMHNT In thn Lords. LONDON , Feb. ' . ) . A largo number of ladles was present at the House of Lords. They were all alttroii in mourn'nt ; out of respect to the lute dulco of Clarence , and Avonualo. When iho House of Lords had oecn formally dec-lured to be in session , Lord Salis bury ordered that the Ilouso of Commons bo summoned lo listen to the reading Of the speech. None of the opposition lenders was present. After the speech tiad boon read thu House of Lords and Ihe House ot Com mons adjourned unlil 4 o'clock. When iho House of Lords had reassembled at lhal hour the carl of Kirnborly ( liberal ) , formerly secretary of state lor the colonies , expressed surprise that tbo queen's spocch made no reference to Iho dispute between Great Britain and Franco In regard to thu claims of too latter country ( in Newfoundland. Parliament , ho declared , ought to obtain an explicit and early statement us to the position of Iho affair. Lord Salisbury said Ihat the absence of special reference In the queen's speech to the order ana prosperity pre vailing In Ireland showed the oonlldonco of the government lu the country's illness for local self-governmont. The fact that ono Irish local government bill wus proposed implied thnt conditions now prevailed In Ireland which justi fied the government In giving thai country extended power of local control. \Vith regard to Kcypt , Lord Salisbury said that after the sacrlllcos Great Britain hud mnduin commotion wilh that cquiitry , ho bo liuved that Knglund would never surrender lu supremacy to another power. Replying to the criticisms of the earl of Klmbcrly regarding thu absence of reference to Newfoundland In the queen's spocch , Lord Salisbury said that the prdsmit buttlement of' the question wus not duo to the action of Ibo government , hut the people of Newfoundland themselves. The address in ruply to the speech from the tlirono , which has beun moved by the ICarl of Dudley , was then passed to the House of Lords. In tjin IlotiHii of CommoiiH. The chief interest after thu assembling of Parliament was centered in the House of Commons , who tlib popular members as thov entered and took their seals worn welcomed wilh hearty cbcori. Mr. George Lambert , ( Gludstonlun ) , who , in the south Milton division of Devonshire , turned a liberal-unionist majority of l.tiOO Into a minority of 1'JOO received a most hearty wel come from thn opposition toijclu's. Hlght Hon. Arthur J. Bulfour , successor lethe the lalo Hon. William Henry Smith as gov- erpment leader In the house , received n pro- ongcd ovation from his supporters. Mr , W. L. Jackson , tin1 newly appointed chief sccro- lurv for Ireland , was loudly uhoorud as ho took his gout. Mr , John Htmry Madden , the Gladstomuu , who was cloctu'd to succctxl Lord Harrington ( llborul-unjonlit ) , was cheered by the opposition when ho entered tbe tiouso. Mr. Ualfour uava nolico that ho would in troduce the Irish local government bill on Thursday next. lu the Ilouso of Commons Mr , Hedge moved the adoption of the address In reply to the quean's speech. Sir William Harcourt said il was hi1) ) first duty to express they hympath.v ol tbo oppo- sltlou for the royal family in tbo loss sus- talnod in Ibo death of thu duuo of Clarence and Avondalo. With regard to tbe Irish local govenunout bill , Sir vVllllam said it wus a' matter ho wished carried out. It a genuine measure was promoted , tne opposition would support it , but they could uot regard at local uov- eminent if only some application of the county council system was to bo takou as set tling the question of sttlf-gorerument. [ Cries of hear , hear. ] Sir William added that Lord Salisbury uiUiIs recent speech at Exeter about a t'nthollc regime In Iroliud in the event of hofim. rule being granted , did not promise voltfior the liberality of the coming bill.
