Tile Qutex's prorogation Speech poseesses the unusual merit of making the most of a little. Colourless and formal as must royal addresses are, the closing speech of a session is usually more cold and formal than the opening one. The difference be tween them is in the main that between the ideal and the real, between promises and performance. At the outset of the parliamentary campaign a san guine ministry seises the opportunity of sketching in the speech from the throne the large outline of what it proposes to do. At the close it gives in leas ambitious phrase the brief record of what it has actually done. The contrast is often extreme, and would be humiliating were it leas familiar. Like the retrospect of life, the re view of the session generally presents little more than broken vows and disappointed hopes. But if this is true of parliamentary sessions in general, it is pre-eminently true of the one just closed. After having protracted its sitting to an almost unprecedented period, it is notorious that Parlia ment has accomplished far lea than lima' in the way of useful and effective legislation. While the promises of the Covirument were remarkably bold and comprehensive, the measures they have really carried are sinmlarly few and small. Indeed, not cno of the important legal and coo sititutional ref,'rms specially referred to in the Royal Speech of January has been carried into effect. But the Qt EEN'S Message read by the Loan CBANCIILLOR yesterday betrays no Coltlciolls- TWAS of this. It is inure genial and spirited, in some reepecte even more direct "and satisfactory, than wed. The critical reader will, indeed, miss references to important domestic topics which arc conspicuous by their absence. But so far as it goes, and in rAition to the subjects specially touched upon, the Speech is seasonable, and to the point. The failures of the session are lightly pase:d over, and there being but little ground to congratulate Parliament on its legislative ackieve me:its, the omission is supplied by a frank and hearty recagnitiou of the loyalty and patriotism of the p,op!. Fortunately for the Government, "her Me " Jrereit relations with foreign powers" come lest in order in the Speech from the throne ; and foreign policy being the strong point of the Cabi net, the statements on this head are explicit and satiefactory. The customary phrase, that our re lations with continental powers are "friendly," simply means, of course, that we are at war with none of our neighbours. But her M ware hastens to refer to the spot on which the eyes of Europa are now fixed, and to those critical moments that ' , renew to decide the fate of its fairest peninsula. This reference embodies and reaffirms the consistent policy not only of the Ooeernment but of the English nation on this abeorbing question of European politics. Her MAJE , TY expose's her "twat that there is no " dan;er of any interruption of the general peace " of Europe." lint the hails of this trust is the hope and belief that the English policy of non-intervention will be faithfully pursued by the other Powers of Europe. " Events of considerable importance " are, indeed, taking place in Italy ; but if no " fun 711 Powers interfere therein, ion, if the " itniissee an Ifft to settle their owe affairs, the " trmeiniUity of other eatri wilt mouth' midi,- " bodied." The time is rapidly approaching when the fidelity of the European Powers to this great principle will probably be tested in the most direct and practical form, and it is the more import:tilt, therefore, that it should be formally reaffirmed before Europe by the liberal and constitutional Ocivernment that has been mainly instrumental in securing its general reetrznition. The reference to Switeerlaad is equally deci sive and satisfactory :—" The proposed Con " remotes on the subject of the cession of Savoy and of Nice to France have not yet been held. " But her MAJ VITT confidently trusts that, in any " negotiations which may take place, full and " adequate arrangements will be made for incur " in;, in accordance with the spirit and letter of " the Treaty of Vienna of 1815, the nentrality " and independence of the Swiss Confederation, I: That neutrality and independence were an object " to which all the Powers who were parties to the " Treaties of Vienna attached great importance, " and they are en hem important now than then " fur the general iLtertsts of Europe." The next pa.-nraph of the Speech deals with what is at this moment the most delicate and diffi cult as welt me the moat important question in foreign policy—that of the East. The Syrian massacre has affected her Mee -TT, as it has affected all Christian Europe, "with the deepest " grief and :::dignation." But it hai not prompted the Cur erun.cnt to any sudden or i ; tasted erased* to avenge a load outrage which, if not efficiently perished by thu TurkishCovernnieirt; appeals equally to all the Powers Ad. 'Europe. lifer M urrrY has, therefore, "...cheerfully colicyired " with the Emperor of Mirka, the of " the Fessien, the Aim,. Reient trw it t r isi t, " and the Emperor of R emu, in entering into an " engagement with the SovreN, by which tempo " rary military assistamis has been afforded to the " SULTAY, for the purpoio of re-establishing order "in that part of his dominions." The allusion to the China Expedition, though inevitable, is the least satisfactory part of the Royal Speech. Turning to home affairs, the meagre references of the Royal Speech to domestic legislation suffi ciently reveals the poverty and barrenness of this wearisome seven mouths' session. In this depart ment not one of the expectations raised in January last have been fulfilled. The opening Speech from the Throne announced that important measures of constitutional and legal refonn would be intro duced, and Parliament was " earnestly recom " mended " to consider them. We need not now refer again to the extraordinary combination of professed friends and open foes which destroyed the Reform Bill. But four important measures of legal reform were specified in the QUEEN'S opening Speech—Bank ruptcy, the Transfer of Land, the Consolidation of the Statutes, and a further Fusion of Law and Equity. We look in vain, however, for a refer ence to any one of these in the Speech of yester day. The first—and therefore, it must be presumed, most important —act referred to in the Royal Message is one for " Re " gulating the Relations of Landlord and " Tenant in Ireland ;" while the only impor ' tent act of • general kind referred to as passed— that for amalgamating the Indian forces—was not introduced till towards the close of the session, and then hurried through with most injurious levity and haste. But if the doings of Parliament afford little scope for congratulation, the prompt defensive ac tion of the nation affords a just subject of pride and thankfulness to its Sovereign Lady. This is acknowledged in no reserved or grudging spirit : —" Her MAJEATY commands us to express to you " the gratification and pride with which she has " witnessed the rapid progress in military effici " ency which her volunteer forces have already " made, and which is highly honourable to their " spirit and patriotism." The references to the general loyalty and patriotism of the people, and especially to the enthusiastic reception of the Prince of WALES in Canada, are equally graceful and appropriate " Her Marzsry " has observed, with deep satisfaction, the " spirit of loyalty, of order, and of obeli " once to the law which prevails among her " subjects, both in the United Kingdom and in " her dominions beyond sea ; and her MAJESTY " has witnessed with heartfelt pleasure the warm " and affectionate reception gives to his Royal " Highness the Prince of WALES by her North " American subjects." This acknowledgment will be fully appreciated by thu colonists, and such mutual expressions of good feeling will do far more to attach them to the mother country than any mere legislative or administrative interference in their affairs, how ever wisely designed or honestly intended to promote their welfare. eller a THE EXPRESS.

The Count do Pereigny, in his quality of Presi dent, opened to-day the sittings of the General Council of the department of the Loire with a speech, of which the following is a summary : The count commenced by observing that he was about to examine the existing probabilities of pcaoe being maintained in Europe, and said : " The Emperor's pronamme of Bordeaux has not been changed. With out e pretending to abolish war, the Emperor has, however, repudiated the inheritance of mere fighting for the sake of ven geance for the defeats of the first Empire. Before the ieaugorauon or the prugAhot empire two extra ordinary questions wore pending, viz., the question of the East and that of Italy, neither of which could be resolved by means of diplo macy. Although the wars resulting from these questions could nut bo avoided, they were carried out with promptitude, and the Em peror succeeded in realiaing the object for which they were undertaken. " The destruction of Sebastopol prevented Russia from taking poemsion of Constantinople, and the Eastern question was confided to the charge of united Europe, " As regards the war in Italy, the Italian States were delivered from Austrian domination, and the principal object of the war was thus obtained. Although the Italians now jeopardise the indepen dence which they acquired in consequence of the war, the principle of non-intervention, now a re cognised rule of international policy, exercises a dominating influence over the further development of the question. " Thew are the only qnestions which occupy taw attention of Europe at the present moment "The apprehensions entertained in Germany re specting the Rhine frontiers, and the fears of an invasion current in England, do not merit serious " The Rhine is no longer a atrategic frontier. France, being ranch stronger when Germany is divided, will never support the project of German unity t au compensation she might obtain. " Concerning the relations between England and France, neither of these two powers desires to enter upon such a terrible struggle as a war between them would be. The Euglish nation is peaceful. Their virtuous Queen and the eminent men in power desire to maintain a good under standing between the two nations. _ " In view of so many great results obtained by France, and the ln.c.re which they throw around the French nation, it i, intiural that uneasiness and distrust should have lAell in ]Lampe. France, however, .li.l not ermte the com:iliattione in Italy, neither did she counsel Austria to follow the fatal policy which led to the rLing of the Italians, nor is she responsible for the treaties which Austria concluded with the Italian princes. France nsed every possible effort to pre vent the conflict. If the Emperor kept silence before the outbreak of the war in reference to his promises to repulse the attack s o f A us t r i a upon Italy, it was with the motive of leaving the Italians in ignorance of his powerful assistance, which, had they beca aware of, would have spread incres...ed excitement amongst then,. "Thus the silence with which the Emperor has been reproached was disadvantageous to himself alone. "The same can be said in reference to the cession of Savoy and Nice to Franca "The Italians, after the oonolusiou of the peace of Villafranca, having acted in violation of that treaty nu the other aide of the Alps, France could not renounce her Alpine frontiers, seeing that a greet Italian kingdom had been constituted. France has never concealed her intentions either from Sardinia or from England. She has deceived nobody. " Tito Emperor has certainly replaced France in her le , itintate position without shaking the confi dence of Europe. Taken ee a whole, his policy wan pure and honest. Übe has made war in Italy it was only because the other Powers were nut willingto engage their own responsibility. As 140013 as it was poa.ible to arrive at a definite result, he concluded the peace desired by the world. " Since 1815 France has been forced to follow the role imposed upon her by the Treaties of Vienna. Another spirit now reign., and the poli tie:.l system of 1815 has been subverted by Europe herself. This system we. the result of a violent transitiou which by two put convulsions entirely tlinturbed the European equilibrium. 'how trip it has been the great interest of Europe that a general reconciliation should be effected between the dif kreut powers, :.eel that France should, by common consent, re-assume the position which belonged to her in the Councils of the Powers. She nu loupe The programme of the minority of the 21 mem bers of the committee of the Reichsrath is said to originate with Count Hartig, and to be a kind of compromise between the views of the government and the wishes of the Hungarians. In order to arrive at an immediate solution Count Hartig proposes to confine the constitutional reforms within the limits indicated by the imperial patent decreeing the creation of the enlarged coun cil of the empire, and recognising the principle of the autonomy of the provinces. According to the above-mentioned programme the Reicharath would preserve its present powers for the regulation of the general afikirs of the em pire, and its privileges would successively become more extended. Every province would settle its local affairs by menus of provincial dieta. . . The privilegesof these latter would comprehend the right of making laws, awl of exercising a delibe rative vote on all questions of provincial adminis tration. • Concerning the general affairs of the empire, the provincial diets would have the right of petition and the liberty of bringing complaints resuust the mi nisters before the Emperor. Should the Emperor find these complaints to be justifiable, the minuitets would be brought to trial before a tribunal, to be chosen by the provincial diets themselves. The Emperor would exercise the right of veto upon all decisions emanating from the provincial diets, in the event of their being considered pre judicial to the general welfare the empire. But the exercise of the veto would always be explained and justified by a special imperial patent. In order to complete the autonomy of the pro vinoes, the programme of the minority of the com mittee proposes the eetabliahm in dependent municipal of municipal institutions. THE UNITED STATES.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rsom 01..11 Ow2t 0011ISPONDILITT.) PARTS, TVEBDAT EVENING. Most exciting news from Naples is telegraphed from Marseilles to-day. It will be remembered that two Piedmontese ships of war, having on board a considerable force of riflemen (Irersaglieri), lately anchored in the Bay of Naples, with ulterior ob jects not avowed, and that several of them landed and walked about in uniform in the streets of the city. We now learn that some of these bersaglieri having been set upon and killed or wounded by Neapolitan troops, the Marquis Villamarina has called for immediate reparation, and had, up to the date of August 25, received no answer. The great probability is, that before this time, the whole force of Piedmontese bersaglieri will have landed to seek reparation for themselves, by aiding an insurrection in Naples and assisting to open the gates to Gari baldi's army. But a most extraordinary and, if true, sinister statement in this telegram is that within the last few days Baron Brenier, the French ambassador, has demanded a just satisfaction for the outrage committed upon his person. What can this mean t It will be fres:e in the recollection of all politicians that several months ago a rufflinly assault was made upon IL Brenier in the streets of Naples. Explanations were given at tir.! time compatible with the entire and undoubted innocence of the Neapolitan government and the dignity of the am bassador, and nothing more of the affair has been beard since. It moms utterly incredible that Baron Brenier should now rake up this affair in order to afford a pretext for a military interference by France pari passe with Piedmont. And yet there is no suggestion in any quarter whatever of any new outrage against Baron Brenier. It is most puzzling. What " just satisfaction" can he nor justly want I It appears to bo expected in Paris that before the Emperor leaves Savoy he will give a public answer to Lord Palmerstou's last speech. The Petrie, after quoting an opinion of a London paper, as evidence that the Emperor's speech at Lyons is "generally approved of " by the London press, goes on to say : We desire to hope that the speech which his Majesty will make at Chambery, where he has met with such au enthusiastic reeeptiou, will be eye illy well received by the English journals. Eut the "unjust mistrust" which Lord Palmerston has never ceased to manifest on the sub ject of the cession of Savoy —a mistrust only lately expressed in his recent speech leaves us but little hope that the London newspapers will be pleased with what the Emperor is about to say. We shall, how ever, easily console ourselves, and if Lord Palmerston ex pected an answer he will Anti it in the warm reception given by the population of Savoy to Napoleon 111. It is stated in Bnilier's Corrcspondenze that the Emperor has resolved to create two new regiments of Zouavea ; and that in consequence of observa tions of Count de Persigny the programme of Prince Napoleon's voyage to the British islands—it having been originally announced that ho was ta visit the meats of England, Ireland, and Scotland—has been materially changed. The latter announcement is mysterious, and I cannot explain it. Why should the French ambassador in London have objected to the prince ibitieg one put of the British islands more than another 1 It is too ridiculous to suppose that the prince is suspected of conspiring with Mr. Smith O'Brien and the other um-respondents of M. Marie Martin, of the amstitutiomici. And yet nothing more serious suggests itself as a reason why any part of the United Kiugdom should be inter dicted to him. The Bourse was again weak, and tho amount of business done was less than ever. The Rentc fell 10c. for cash and 15c. for account, closing in each case at GSfr. 'Meldlier fell lfr. 25c. The Lyons Railway fell 2fr. 50c., Orleans Hr. 25c., and in the other hues there was no cham,, , e. It is reported that, according to a banker's de spatch received late this afternoon, there Is a fall of 10 per cent. iu the Neapolitan funds. The List three days of sunshine have been most favourable to the harvest in ninny localities. In many places the priests exhorted their parishioners to go into the harvest field without scruple on Sunday, assuring them that in such an emergency " to work is to pray." It is expected that important political speeches will he respectively addressed by M. Fonhl, Count de Monty, and M. du la Guerronniere, to the Councils General of the Rotates Pyrendes, Puy-du- Dame, sad Haute Vienne. . ITALY. N PLES. frsait'esm own comilsrosnam) NAPLES, Atictsr 21. The government appears to be in perfect darkness as to the intentions and movements of the revolu tionary party. The Intendente of Salerno, who was telegraphed for on Saturday, confirms the statement as regards his province, but for all this the work is going on, and Garibaldi is so secret in his action, that not even his staff know what his intentions are. Perhaps this great tranquillity is only the precursor of a atom. All the foreign residents are, of course, anxious as to the future, not knowing where to take refuge, or at what moment, if public order may be disturbed. Tlie vessels, of course, would be open to them ; but to be packed like anchovies, with the glass at 85 or 90 degrees, would not be agreeable. Some have spoken of fitting up the church which is in the consulate, and will probably have a guard of marines ; but the best suggestion I have heard is that the English should retire to the beautiful and healthy island of Capri, where Mr. Elliot will send over a vessel every now and then to see that all goes on well. I think that this will be the plan adopted. After despatching my letters on Saturday there was considerable movement amongst the military, and a concentration of troops in the direction of the palace. Souse said that fears were entertained of an attack on the frigate, the Bourbon, now in the offing ; others, that a landing had been effected near Gaeta, and that another was expected near the capital. Meanwhile, copies of despatches have been in circulation from Foggia, Poteuza, Corleto, and the mountains of Basilicata, which tell of in surrections amongst the people, and fraternisatioms of the troops. I do not attach any importance to theme reports, but consider them as only so many indications of the extreme sensitiveness of the public, mind. There have been various domiciliary visits during the last two or three days, principally in search of arms ; nor was the villa of Prince Luigi, at Posi lippo, excepted. The peasantry told the guard that boxes of arms had been concealed there, but had been consig ned by his royal highness to persona unknown to th em. The College of the Jesuits was also visited. I believe, for the gendarmes were seen in it yesterday morning, though the holy fathers are not there. On Sunday last some Piettrnontese were arrested in the Bongo di Loreto, fur what causes it is easier to imagine than to assert ; and some acts of ven geance were attempted against the authors of the arrest. As for desertions, they occur continually, and I must observe that they nu longer consist of individuals, but of masses, so much so that the Comitato has not funds sufficient to provide for them. In short, society has fallen to pieces—there is universal and complete disorganization. ArcenT 22. My . yesterday's letter reported movements in Foggia and Potence. I now confirm them, and the bulletin of the " National Unitarian Committee in Naples," which now lies before me, describes the encounters between the gendarmes and the people in Potenrs ; the triumph, of the latter after a trifling loss ; and the establishment iu all probabi lity of a provisional government At Capo dell' Armi two steamers from the Sicilian eons: had landed bands of armed men, who were marching towards Reggio. The royal troops had fired upon them, but the result is not known. Another outbreak is spoken of as having taken place in Bari ; in short, the whole kingdom is in a state of revolution. I told you that the elections were to have taken place next Sunday ; but an address to the King, signed by all the ministers, has just appeared, in which his Majesty is advised to defer them. It says :—" Sire, —Your ministers have omitted nothing to give effect to the representative institutions revived by the sovereign act of July 1. Above all things, it lime been their hope to assemble the electoral col leges, so that the country might be legally repre sented as quickly as possible. But that it is in vain to hope for, as the country, strings to the exer cise of its constitutional rights, finds itself in a state of ever-inerea , ing agitation in consequence of the war on the other side thu Faro, which has now been transferred to the continent, and above all, for the movements in many cities of the provinces, where, if every effort in made to calm them, the tranquil reunion of the electoral colleges would be found to be impossible. All these facts would compel citizens to absent themselves from the peaceable exercise of their civil privileges. In this state of things, and under the pressure of the facts above-mentioned, the committee to be nominated could not offer the free or full expression of the true national majority, and which might bo productive of errors, of which the enemies or the liberal institutions of the cotntry .would take advantage. The undersigned are, therefore, of opinion that the elections should be deferred for the whole course of the ensuing month, in the hopes that by that time the country being free from all apprehension of external aggression and internal disturbances, and withdrawn from the impression of every illegal suggestion, will be able to exercise fully and independently the right of voting, which may have so great an influence on the future destinies of our kingdom and of the whole Italian nation.

THE INVASION OF CALABRIA. (FROM 001 SPIEL&L OORIIMONDENT.) MESSINA, Ausosr 20. More detail; hare oo:ne to my knowledge concern ing Garibaldi's successful landing. It was at half past 10 o'clock p.m. that Garibaldi and Turr started on board of the Franklin from Taormina They had ou board about 1,200 men, the steamer Torino following them elude with 2,600 others on board. The expedition sailed all night unmolested towards the Calshii= coast, and at 2.20 a.m. entered the small harbour of Melito, in Southern Calabria. Garibaldi was of course on the deck of the Prank lin, and took the command of both ships.' Thu Torino, in the hurry of gaining a landing place, ran aground, and the Franklin (which has Just arrived horo with the intelligence I used yen) tried fur six hours to get her off without success. No opposition whatever was offered to Garibaldi, for Melito was not occupied by Neapolitan troops, nor was any Neapolitan vessel near at the time. The landing of Garibaldi's men was effected iu per fect order, and the place was militarily occupied by them. From what I heard on board of the Frank hn, Garibaldi intends to attack Reggio to-night ; but all will depend upon Missori's movements and upon the forces the enemy eau summon to defend that town. Garibaldi's plans seem to me clearenough. Whilst he marches on Reggio, Missori will proceed from Aspromonte towards the seashore, across the rough paths of the neighbouring mountains, and take the forts of Scylla and Tone del Cavallo in the rear. At the same time the divisions which are still at the Faro will sail in the same direction, so that the Neapolitan line of defence will be attacked on both aides at once. Nor can this plan be thwarted by the Neapolitan navy, for the "Queen of EngLuel," I hear, will be ready for action this evening, and her guns, in.:Wiling two 80-pounders, will check any attempt of the enemy's ships. The Franklin left Melito yesterday, at 11 a.m., under American colours, and on her way up to Mes sina was reconnoitred by the Fulminaute and by another Neiyolium inau-of-war. Both these ves sels were cleared for action, but after a short time they thought better of it and steamed otf in au opposite direction. The Neapolitan garrison of the citadel did not disturb our sleep last night. thou of its sentries, licwever, did his best to shoot an Eaaglish geuUemau who was t7-king a► row round the port in a small boat. Fo.tuoately, however, the ball poised through the boat without injuring either the boatmen or the gentleman.
