Upon the assembling of Parliament today, Mr Bradlangh, the member for Northampton, advanced to the table and was sworn in the usual manner. Mr Speaker read a letter he had received from Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, leader of the Government in the Lower House, urging him not to allow Mr Bradlaugh to be sworn in ; but he (Mr Speaker) ruled that he was bound to ignore the letter, as any resolution of the former Parliament had no authority to bind the present one. Sir M. HicksBeach attempted to make some remarks, but was at once stopped by Mr Speaker, who ruled that as he had not been sworn he was not entitled to speak.
