THE 'OPENING. , It is quite natuiai-that fashionable nsociety at the Capital should look for - waid with expectancy to the opening of Partiament, for it means an oppor- tunity to the ladies of I he city to see and ba seen, afforded in no other way. The House was announced to befor- mally opened -by the Governor-Gen- eral at three o'clock Thursday ,after. noon; at 2 o'clock hundreds ef persons were struggling for admission to the Senate gallery; in which Chamber the ceremonies alwitats.take place, and only those who• have tickets are admitted. The members of the Honse of Com- mons having in the meantime as- sembled in the Commons; Chamber, await the coming of the Usher of the Blitck• Rod.

(A, Windsor Uniform, it mey be explained, its go! geously coy- ered*with gold lace...end is said to cost $1000 ) Imraediately. in front of the Governor sit the Judges of the Su- preme Court, in their scarlet robes; in two,parallel rows down each side sit the Senatois; between these, in the centre of the floor, sit the wives of Ministers or members; behind the Sen - atm on each side are three rows of ladies, while up in the galleries above are -,the common people," packed like sardines. The ladies on the Senate floor are ell in full dress, and it was a display Of good lookis giood clothes. and diamonds enough to take one's breath away. Notwithstanding the fact that tho thermometer stood at 20 below zero, most of • the ladies had come to the opening with nothing mere than light wraps thrown over their bare arms and necks..
