Tire return of the Qataa to the public duties of her exalted position will be heartily welcomed by the whole nation. After a lengthened period of retirement her MAJUTY has resolved to come forth again amongst her people, and the occasion selected for the realization of this patriotic resolve was in many respect' peculiarly appropriate. By first appearing at the Inauguration of a Memorial Statue to the late PRINCE CONSORT, the Quzzw'e resumption of the more ceremonial duties of state is directly connected not only with the great be reavement that of necessity caused them to be laid for a time aside, but with the deep and sponta neous sympathy of a loyal people that supported her during the trial. Her Mz.reerr's first act on returning to public life is to unite with her people in a tribute of respect and affection to the mummy of the Plums who so long divided with her the cares of empire, and devoted himself with such conscientious fidelity to every detail of duty con nected with his exalted and responsible position. While the occasion was in all respects a pets& one, the same and circumstances of the ceremonial conspired to invest it with something of a private and domestic thunder as well. The Statue just inaugurated is erected not in any metropolitan centre of royalty or seat of courtly life, but in a remote city of the empire, where the Qunes and Parson were indeed well known, but known in their privates character and domestic habits, uneesen panied with the usual moremenies of state. It was near the spot selected by the Pwcs as a summer reeidenee,wlMh untie) favouritism's of his em' recreations ; and where, as the QOM reminded the local Committee in her reply to their loyal and affectionate address, the Paws sod herself had for so many years been in the habit of spend ing some of the happiest days of their lives. By their periodical reeidenoe at Balmoral, their con tinual excursions in the neighbourhood, as well as by innumerable unobtrusive acts of beneficence, the Qyzax and PRINCI became personally knows to numbers in the city and county of Aberdeen ; and the Memorial just raised to the memory of the Panics thus expresses, on the pert of many at Last, a sense of private and local as well u of public lea. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the Quires should have made as effort to be present at the ceremonial ; and her reply to the address of the Committee rdennets to the connexion of the Purim with the city and county shows a noble sense of gratitude for the *nag expressions of local sympathy, and breathes the truest kindness of heart ;—" Your loyal and " affectionate address has deeply touched me, and " I thank yen far it from my heart. It is with " feelings I should vainly seek words to empress " that I determined to attend here to-day, to witness the uncovering of the statue which " will record to future times the love and respect of the pee* in this county and city " fee my great and beloved husband. But I could " not reconcile it to myself to remain at Balmoral " while sash a tribute was being paid to his me " may without making an exertion to aware you " pereenelly of the deep and heartfelt sense I so " Certain of your kindness and *action.' _ . In thas r;appeezing auseegst ber - Teople, mad retureing ewe mere to the publics duties of hat exalted station, the gram undoubtedly pays the moat profound and appropriate homage to the me. mory of the PILINCI. In sacrificing something of private feeling to the strong mese of public duty, mho is tonowing faithfully in his steps, and the abut will bring its own reward. While under such heavy bereavements the desolating sense of less can never be wholly removed, the healing induces, of time, of friendly interment', and country duties will, according to a beastiesat es , dimwits of mauve, do much towards alleviating its bitterness. In renewing her usual interoosues her people, the Qat= will =mimeo • fresh seem of consolation end support ; and in discharging the more public duties of the Bowe rman, howews difficult at first this may be, there will gradually douse a strength, a calmness, sad a refeeted feeling of inward satisfaction, that will amore than compensate for the effort. Prom every point of view, therefore, we may justly esograka- Inn, not only the country, but the Quay basalt, on the step she has taken, and gratefully waits with every loyal subject in welcoming her return to public lite. This is, indeed, all that is now re quired to crown the public demonstrations of respect and affection, of loyal enthmisere and devotion, that have during the present year followed in turn almost every member of the Royal Family. The whole country watches with unabated interest the movements of the Prince and Primes of Waxes, and is delighted to see them taking their place in ceremonials of State, MI well as actively die- charging the social duties of their polities. The appearance of Prince ALraso, of the Prisms of Paressi, and the Princess Lours; calls forth simi lar demonstrations°, interest, and the nation is pre pared to greet with equal enthusiasm the rising fortunes of the younger members of the Royal household. But of course the true source and centre of thisatrong and universe' foaling of devoted loyalty is the Queer herself. The eathmiestic LIIMIIIMI THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1,5, 1883. reception given to the children but espressos the concentrated feeling of affection and respect which the nation cherishes towards their Royal mother. It is perfectly natural that a people so loyal and devoted should wish to see their Sovisanow amongst them once more. The nation desires to welcome its Qvass, and have again the oppor tunity of expressing in appropriate forms the feelings of reverence and affection which her cha racter and position inspire. Her subjects wish to welco me not only the Royal Lady who sits upon the throne, but the wife and mother whose virtues have raised the institution of Royalty to a higher and more secure position perhaps than it ever oc cupied before in this or any other country. This most legitimate desire will now, we are happy to believe, be fully gratified. THE unworthy conduct of the Earl of Langur in crowding the inn at !damn with people, in order that the LORD LIEUTENANT might find DO accom modation in the town on his journey, has been noticed in the only way possible by the Crown. The noble Earl has been superseded in the com misaion of the peace for the counties of Donegal, Leitrim, and Galway. Of course there is nothing vindictive in thismessure. Indeed, noworeepunish ment could be inflicted on the noble lord than the publication of his letter to "KING." He has been removed from the magistracy simply because he had proved to Ireland and to the QUEEN that he was a person of a temper and judgment altogether unfit to be entrusted with official and public responsibility. have made the matter subject of oomplaint, and the excursionists have been bound orr to keep the peace, and appear when called upon. Since the lad mail her Majesty's shijCoqusite has paid a visit to the batteries at Shimonoseki, where she lay within range unmolested for five hours. A party then went on shore and were civilly treated, from which it may be inferred that either the British flag is treated with special respect, or that the recent demonstrations by the French and United States vessels of war have thoroughly intimidated those in charge of the forte. Some time after the first affair at Shimonoseki, a member of the Second Council of State called upon Colonel Neale. On being asked whether he had any communication to make, he replied in the negative. Colonel Neale then told him that, if he bad no communication to make, he, at least, had one to receive, which was to the effect that if the Japanese made such a bad use of the steamers we had sold them as to fire on merchant vessels, we should have to take them all back. It is feared "that this state ment will check the demand for English steamers which has lately been springing up in Japan." At Nagasaki, the governor lately told the officers of H.M.S. Leopard that his orders were peremptory to expel foreigners. He was informed that he might try to do so. Maories and intercept their retreat, while the net, headed by the general, stormed the pits under a fire, by which they had two men killed and ten wounded. The enemy were pursued for six miles, and are stated to have suffered a heavy loss, including some chiefs of distinction. Pushing forward, another attempt was made a fortnight later to bring the foe to an engagement at a place called Paparata, where he had a settle ment fronted by swamps and a river, and where it was supposed he would bold his ground. The river was bridged over by the Sappers, and the village was at once rushed at but found empty, the Maories retreating to a dense jungle, into which the soldiers followed in single file. Here they beat about in the thick underwood,chaaing the fire amid the yells of an antagonist whom they couldi not come up with or even once see. The Maories were so cautious in keeping at a distance that, notwith standing their constant fire, they only hit one of our men ; but when the troops were withdrawn to the open, they issued forth in considerable numbers out of range of our rifles, to tempt the Pageha to a repetition of this harassing and fruitless game. On the evening of the 21st of July, the schooner Tuarange arrived at Auckland from Tuaranga with thirty-two European and seven native passengers, intimation having been given them by William Thompson to " clear out" in four and twenty hours, as their lives were in danger, and that Le was collecting the natives along the coast, with the intention of prosecuting the war. So imme diate and urgent was the danger considered to be that Archdeacon Brown and the old estab lished residents of Tuarange lost no time in obey ing Thompson's warning. The schooner Maupere was to follow the Tuaranga, and the impression was that every settler on the east coast would be compelled to come in. The Melbourne Argus thus sums up the posi tion of auks : The somas of action was no longer Tarmaki, but the Waikato sad country in its rear to within 30 miles of Aacklaad, when the utmost alarm prevailed. In fact, Tarsaaki was all quiescent, whale Awaked, on the contrary, was in a state of feverish laquietude and excitement, the murderous satives swarm ing is the mountain ranges in General Came rae' rear, " weeding " (as colosisk phrase it) the solitary and defenceless settlers; dexterously avoiding to own is *enact with troops in the open, bat ever and anon exhibiting an unimpressionable boot in advance. Individuals sad families were thus barbarously semesimad by those cowardly ruffians, who glory is such basheries, es superior instances of their skill is war. Pot forty miles to the southward the city and country was am vast camp, ad Genital Cameron's most for ward position was at Bohiros. The New Zealander estimated that the rasa could bring 7,500 lot* men into the said, but that, even allowing ase-third for ooutingsn. Oiler 3,000 men would be a powerful array for oar scattered lined defenders to emounter sad arrest. In opposition to this the same paper stated that the total amount of her Majesty's fames may be redwood at something like 5,000 men of all arme—a very inadogniste army to famish (anima for posts and take the offensive I. the aid against so Gamy whom tactics are sodden mar. 4w, not a bold stead behind their own estrealussata, or a trial of strength in manly coallick It is said Sikhs may be eameled from India ; the rawinclar of the 12th, 40th, sad Artillery (about MOO in all), from Mardis and Tasma nia ; Malone: mats from England are Hawke spoken of ; and the metal government are reported to have decided upon raising levies in the Australian colonial° the number of 5,000 men. Some of the murders by natives betoken a de scription of warfare which in the end may rival the atrocities committed by Indian mutineers. For instanoe, ou July 24 they attacked Captain Celvert's house, on the high ground near the Maori position, on Pukekiweriki, and in the Walrus dis triot. They fired into the house. Captain and Mrs. Calvert fled into the bedroom ; and Sylvester Calvert, aged eighteen years, son of Captain Calvert, was shot while endeavouring to get into a place of hiding. Captain Calvert defended himself bravely with his rifle as long as he u,uld, Sting seven shots, when, finding he had no more left, be took his sword nd, enraged by the death of his sou, rushed out sword in hand and attacked the whole body. The Maories, after firing a volley, made oilL The same day a party of Mamie' shot at Mr. George Cooper, settler, Wairoa, and killed him. They then lighted his clothes and roasted the body. One of the last outrages committed in the Auck land district was an attack upon an escort party. The natives, who were supposed to belong to friendly tribes, were repulsed with severe lass the casualties of the British being five killed, eleven wounded, and three missing. The authorities evidently recognise the urgency of the case, for they have sent requisitions to the Australian colonies and Tasmania for troops, and have despatched Major Pitt and Captain Harrison —the one to Melbourne and the other to Sydney— to enlist volunteers. Onr latest news is from Sydney in the form of the following telegram : The steamer Amu goisg up the Waikato Niue, wee Led ea by about 1,000 satires os the beaks.

From Hobart Towu we also learn that " volun teering for New Zealand is being carried on with enthusiasm." • - - Serious loss of life bad been oomaioned at the Lakes in New Zealand by the floods and the fall of an avalanche of wow. Thirty-five miners were drowned in the Shotover River aad its tributaries, a landslip having thrown them and their teats into the flood. Forty more were smothered at the Dunstan, by a great fall of snow from the Mount, which covered their tents. They had not been dug out when the accounts left. The escorts for the last fortnight brought down 9,857 ma. The Hugburn diggings were giving an average of lbs. per i day to miners with small cradles, and one ounce to sluices. There had been a ministerial crisis, the executive having resigned as soon as the Otago parliament met. Mr. O. B. Carroll had been entrusted with the task of constructing a ministry.

The 6th, 23rd, and 27th regiments N.L, the 3rd Sikh Infantry; the lst and 2nd Goorkha levies ; and four companies of Sappers and Miners—total, forty-seven guns and ten thou sand men ; all in the highest state of efficiency, health, and discipline. " There are events in pos sibility," says the Calcutta Englishman, " which may prevent the assemblage of this formidable body of men ; but there are also events in proba bility which render the display at Lahore a highly useful, and in the end economical, measure. The government is very vigilant, and fully aware of all that is going on in Central Asia ; and, whatever may occur, ws shall not be caught napping this Lime." His Excellency the Comi mencee his cold weather tour by marching from Kalka in the middle of November ; meeting the Viceroy at Peshawar towards the end of December ; and than retiring to the camp of exercise at La bours, which will be joined by Lord Elgin in Janu ary, as at present arranged. The last, it seems, has not been beard of the Burney case. Notice of appeal to the bench of judges has already been given by Captain Eyre's friends. 00M- On the 9th ult. Sir Mordaunt Wells was to take his departure from Calcutta on his way to Europe, through the upper provinces, Indore, and Bombay. An address had been presented to him in the name of 3,000 of the members of the native com munity. The Rurkarts announces that on the Bit of Feb ruary next, at the latest, the East Indian Railway will be open to the public from Delhi to Calcutta, with the exception of crossing the Jumna at Allahabad. As a temporary measure, the rail way company will either have a pontoon bridge over the Jumna, or a steamer to convey the traffic across the river. Amounts from Nepaul state that the Nepaulese have embraced the cause of a Battu& Kajee of Lease. and are about to send several regiments thither. They will march eastward through Serai, and will enter the mountains near Darjeeling by the Walking Choong Pass. CHINA. Letters from Hong-Bong, dated August 23, say that itoe the Danish treaty was signed, nothing of consequence had transpired in Pekin. With re gard to the rebel., there has been no marked change in their operations since the accession of Bargevine. The following, from the North China herald, describes this late movements of Major Gordon : After be taking of Wokoog, in which city we remaiued may eight or sins hours, we set out on our return to Quieten, Lavin the city is barge of mandarin tromps.

The CUM Mail nays that "the utmost support seems to be afforded to the gallant major by the British general, in the way of marching troops over the country within the 30 mile radius." A reward of 1,0001. has been offered by the Futae for the person, alive or dead, of General Burgevine, and the Futae guarantees his assassin against all consequences. At Sunkiang, where a strong body of imperialists are garrisoned, three foreigners (a Greek, an Italian, and a Manillaman) have been executed for holding communication with the rebels. It is alleged that they had been for some time engaged in acts of piracy on the ,SVIS f il. &OM, Nankin, a report has come down to lie effect ghat the recent success of Op in capturing certain outworks has been lost to &ism; and that they have been driven sway from every point of advantage. From Ningpo we hear that the piratical fleet which had attacked and plundered a trading vowel belonging to an English firm, has been destroyed by four of our vessels of war in Hangcbow Bay, after some re sistance. JAPAN. From Japan, the latest news is to the effect that half of the British fleet had sailed for Kagosima, which is in Kinsiu, the most southern of the four islands which constitute the Japanese empire. It is at Kagosima, near Cape Chikakoff, that Prince Satsuma has a castle, and this it is proposed to attack. The expedition sent against it consists of seven vessels, while other wren remain in harbour at Yokohama. The rumours as to peremptory orders being issued from Miako to exclude foreigners from the country still continue, and changes have been made in the government at Yedo, by which the party least hostile to foreigners retires from office. The Tycoon has returned to Ysdo by sea, and the changes referred to have been made in accordance with instructions he brought with him from Miako. Another difficulty has arisen of a similar nature to the " Mose" Que. A pianis party had gone to the Kanasawa, and while these a Japanese moldier, evidently disapproving of them, drew his sword, upon which one of the party drew a revolver, and shot him through the arm.

The ministe rial statement of the chief secretary was remarkably brief, promising that, as it was desirable to bring the session to a close, no measures should be intro duced save those actually indispensable—bills for amending the Land Act and the Electoral Act, • new Volunteer Bill, and a few other of minor im portanoe, which, in addition to completing the Municipal Reform and Local Belt-Government Bills, constituted the programme. The finan cial statement of Mr. Verdon, the new treasurer, was regarded with unusual interest, as it was known that owing to the decrease of the revenue from land sales (necessarily inteirupted pending the amendment of the Land Act) the Treasury account showed an enormous deficit He esti mated the total expenditure of the year at 3,147,6751., which on comparison with the esti mated income would leave a balance of 473,9511. The chief items, by the saving of which he pro posed to meet this, were 60,0001. for an iron-clad vessel, 70,0001. for "special appropriations ;" the interest on debentures for public buildings, 20,0001. of which would not he required ; an over estimate of 20,0001. for road boards, and a saving of 15,0001. on the interest of the railway loan. Adding to these the estimated savings on the year at 120,0001., he anticipated a total of 309,3591. Altogether, he believed that, whatever debit balance existed at the end of the year would be extinguished by savings not contemplated in hie estimate. The land policy of the new cabinet at first excited still greater interest. Mr. Healer's bill provides for free selection over the agricultural areas of the present system, amounting to ten million acres, retains the plan of deferred pay ments, but requires the purchase to be completed in six years. The chief points of difference from Mr. Duffy's bill are in reducing the amount of the first instalment from 10s. to 54., and in retaining the crown grant until all the purchase money is paid. It requires also, as an indispensable condi tion, a bonA tide residence of three years upon the land ; without this no crown grant will be issued. The bill has already passed the second reading, and has undergone some alight modifications in committee, but the prevailing impression was that, although it may pass the Assembly, it is certtin to be rejected or emasculated in the Upper House. "In all this, however," lays the Melbourne Herald, There hi Bathing which should &homage the emigration of those in the aid country who have resolved upon ending their lot in Victoria. The Viotceian load Aet cif MIL sow so familiar to British readers, is still the law of the land, and say material departure from its liberal principles h simply iseposible. The impedimotts which have hitherto prevented its ensametal operation US we► only es might be mooed frees the attempts of the squatters and capitalists to Mein Yrir monopoly of the patine estate ; but it is Dow the setae! law, and the only change lie legislature is likely to authorise will be made in the tittered of the boot tide Mdse. But few incidents of any especial importance bad occurred in connection with the gold fields of Victoria daring the month. No new rush of any consequent)e has taken place, but the auriferous renames of the colony are being steadily developed, and in most districts the miners appear to be remuneratively employed. Moat of the large mining companies on Ballaarat continue to realise very satisfactory returns. Amongst those most worthy of mention may be noticed the Great Extended, the Koh-i-Noor, the Defiance, the Cos mopolitan, and the Great Republic. The dividends of these companies have ranged as high as from M. to 1001. per share per week. A large public meeting has been held for the pur pose of expressing sympathy with the Poles in their present struggle for independence, and organising subscriptions in their behalf. A Polish Sick and Relief Fund was formed, and several donations were received. The theatrical event of the month has been the production of the " patent " ghost at the Hay market and Princess's, Melbourne. The Haymarket was the first in the field, and introduced Professor Pepper's illusion in the drama of the Castle Spectre, and subsequently in a dramatised version of I Dickens's " flaunted Man." At the Princess's, which establishment was recently reopened under the management of Mr. George Fawcett, a drama, founded upon Min Braddon's novel, " The Captain of the Vulture," did duty as the vehicle for this remarkable effect. A new set of immigration regulations has been granted by the government. The applicant desir ous of obtaining a passage for his friend or friends, can obtain warrants on the following terms :—For males under twelve years of age, 41. ; 12 years and tinder 40, 8l.: 44 years and upwards, 91. The passage warrant will entitle the person or persons named therein, except unprotected single females, to be conveyed to Melbourne from the port men tioned in such warrant, by a ship to be named by the contractors within one month of the receipt by them (the contractors) of a request for a passage in terms of such warrant ; but unions a nominee shall leave the United Kingdom within nine months from the date of his warrant, such warrant will not be recognised.

The France says, and, I am inclined to think, rightly, that the new diplomatic appointments have no political signification. I know it to be quite true, as stated in the Emperor's complimentary letter to Baron (roe, that the latter diplomatist did long ago want to retire from active employment. But then the question naturally arises, what are the de. cumstances, alluded to by the Emperor, which stood in the way of his retirement some time since and permit him to be replaced now 1 Of course, I cannot pretend to speak with certainty upon such a point as this ; but I think it not unreasonable to conjecture that so long as the Emperor hoped to drag England into a war with Russia, he wished to keep the London embassy open for Count Walewski. Now that that hope is (as I think it is) abandoned, and that the imperial speech is being prepared on a peace principle, there is no longer any reason for keeping Baron Gros as a warming-pan, and the translation of the Prince de la Tour d'Anvergne from Rome to London is merely the diplomatic promotion of a favourite. The other appointments are simply consequential, just like the long list in the Goodie when a regiment gets • new lieutenant-colonel without purchase. There is always but one new officer--an ensign, just as in this case the Count d'Aetorg, the only new plenipotentiary, is made minister at the courts of the Grand Duke of hew and the Duke of Nassau. The government writers seem already to feel instinctively the necessity of arguing against the impression that the loss of M. Billanit is one that cannot be readily filled up. It is remarked that the paragraph in the alonifeur announcing his death is rather cold, and is, moreover, in small type and placed as a secondary event, after the conspicuous but insignificant letter of the Emperor to Baron tiros. The France, after a few indispensable eon)• pliments to the memory of the deceased, hastens to assert that " no anxiety whatsoever need be mingled with the feelings of legitimate grief." It enforces ' this view by citing the names of Colbert, Tinged, Mirabean, and Chateeubriand as illustrative of the general proposition that France will never want men worthy to serve her. The argument is very wide of the mark, for it is universally admitted that M. Billault was not like the men so inaptly compared with him, a statesman of the highest claw And yet there seems to be as little question that be was the most able man whose services the Emperor could command. The Prance, referring to the notorious second-rate standing of M. Billault before he became an imperial minister, says that he " only found his talent become great when he - devoted it to the service of a great eases," and then it draws the courtier-like inference that any other person who may be " inspired" by the Emperor will, equally with M. Billsolt, " become the faithful interpreter and eloquent organ of the idea of the sovereign." This convenient doctrine, which makes ministers as men even less than they are under the Napoleon regime, is ob viously not worth serious refutation. I cite it, in all its absurdity, to show what extreme sensi tiveness there is lest the opinion should be even cursorily entertained that the imperial system could for a moment suffer for want of a man. M. Gtuiroult, in the Opinion Nationafr, looks at the matter in a very different way from the France. He thinks that M. Billault's death is a "moat serious political event, which brings into question the new and yet untried system of ministerial organisation." According to this deputy for Paris, M. Billault's peculiar talent was the only thing that made the institution of " talking ministers " possible for so long a time. That institution was looked upon with disfavour, for the obvious reason that whereas a minister who defends his own acts generally believes himself to have a good cause, a minister advocate, whose duty it is to defend the sets of others, may very often not approve of them. M. Billault got over the difficulty of his position in a wonderful manner : Endowed with a *apple well-informed mind and a cod judgment, and poesemed is a high degree of busimedhe eloquence, all his qualities, eras hie undecided and tat* sonvietione, rendered him eminently apt to become the ceps of n policy which he would net himself have coer mired, but whiob be anarnilated in a marvellous sensor, sad which he expressed with a mixture of authorit►, cop• phloem, misderstion, sod preciaioo, which made him, is ►ie kind, s finished castor. He knew bow to make the meet isadmiesible rituatioes appear plausible, to avail him self el obscene intentions in such a way ss that opposing parties would think it their interest slot to sift them too ably ; he could give to hesitation the semblance of im. pertislity, and make iaooaeieteooy psis for profundity. Hie last speech en the Roman question woe the beau ideal al this clamed oratory, and may defy compelitios this death leaves an irreparable void, and cos which, wing the gassy illustrious orators lately elected to the Corps Lagis• uhf, will render for his sueosesor that task almost impas sible which he himself felt to be far from easy, and the promos of which we are aimed emelt him great By the latest decree on ministerial organisation, the whole burden of supporting government mea sures in the chambers was mist upon 31. Billault as minister of state, and M. Roober, as president of the Council of State. M. Rouher is an able administrator, but not a first-class debater. M. Gudroult does not know where a man is to be found to replace M. Billault, and be thinks the cense , quince of his death will very likely be a return to the old parliamentary system of every minima defending his own bills, and so, indirectly if sot directly, to " ministerial responsibility," which the empire made such a great point of abolishing.
