TELEGRAMS.
ST, CRAIX STATION
London,
Nov. 23rd.—The
first
session
of the
new
Parliament
opened
with
all
the
pomp
and
ceremony
attendant
upon
this ancient
formality, driving
with
the
Queen
in the
State
coacn
and
atteni~l
by escort
of Life Guards,
the King
pass-
ed
from
Buckingham
Palace
through
SStreets
lined with troops
to
Westminster
Palace,
where
he
followed
the
old
cus-
toym of,donnipg
the gorgeous
royal
robes.
S:ill aceo.npanied
by the Queen
the King
tnen
walked
in procession
to
the
House
of
Lords
attendad
by
numerous
court
oficial:, olicers
and
heralds.
Arriving
at
the
tipper
Zhambsar,
he
read
his
speech
from
the Throne
to the Peers
and
as
many
Commoners,
as
were
able
so
crowd
into
the
small
space
available.
The
debate
on
the
King’s spesch
will
probably continue
in‘o next week,
whean
it will be
interrupted
to
bring forward
the
Irish
bill,
which
will
be presented
as
an
urgent
matter,
in
order
to
sectre
its
passage
by
December
6th.
If
the
Irish eonstitution
has
not
been
ratified
by that date, the
Anglo Irish
treaty
will
automatically lapse.
It is
bee¢o>ming
in-
creasingly
evident,
that
the
bill will not
pass
with
the
smoothness
predicted.
The
Ulster
Unionists
and
the
English
“‘Die Hards’’
have
served
notice
that
they intend
to
raised
objections
on
the
ground
that
the
draft
of
the
constitu-
tion
violates
certain
provisions
of
the
treaty,
but
it
seems
bhardly
likely that
their opposition
will endanger
the
suc-
cess
of
the
bill,
or
that
it will lead
to
. stich amendments
to the
drafc,
as
wvozild
make
the
constitution
unacceptable
to
the Irish..
London, Nov. 23rd.—The King’s speech
from
the
Throne
officially opening
the
new
Parliament
was
as. follows:
The

Mr.
Newbcld,
the
communist
member.
He

his
astonishing
ca:e
with the
fearlessness
of
an
old
Parlia-
mentarian.
The

subject
of curi-
