At the recent Manchester Meeting, Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT remarked on the chances of their being invited to take office, and disavowed any ambi tion of the kind. If they should be so called on, it will entirely be owing to the severity of the blow ad ministered to the Whig leaders. And the democratic element will be admitted as reluctantly and sparingly as possible. Had it not been for that salutary lesson, a descent from, or relationship to, Sanaa Duchess of BEDFORD, might still be regarded as an indispens able qualification for a seat in the Cabinet, without which the strongest claims should be disregarded. Such, at least, would be the case if we are to judge from former experience. Let us, for instance, con sider the case of Mr. Hums as a striking example. From 1811, until the present time—a period of forty-one years—Mr. HUME has been a faithful and indefatigable, although unremunerated servant of the public. He has exercised a vigilant watch over suc cessive Ministries, and been the means of checking much extravagant expenditure. He has all througb been a consistent politician—the only blot on his escutcheon being his memorable avowal—occasioned by his devotion to the Liberal cause—that "he would vote black white to keep the Whigs in office." He did keep them in, more than once, by his influence, his forbearance, and his kindness. If ever they owed a debt of gratitude to any public man, it was to Mr. HUME. But because be did not happen to belong to any of the noble families who have hitherto claimed an hereditary right to wield power in the governance of the country, the Whigs have never once offered him the smallest office in any of their Administrations —they have not even thought him worthy of being sworn in as a Privy Councillor. Again, in 1846, when Sir ROBERT PEEL gracefully took leave of office, he paid a happy and eloquent tri bute to Mr. COBDEN, to whom, he said, the public was indebted for " the pressure from without,"which compelled Parliament to repeal the Corn-laws. He put Mr. COBDEN'S claims forward in such a manner, that the RUSSELL-GREY•ELLIOT Ministry (created actually by Free Trade, of which RICHARD COBDEN was the child and champion) painfully felt that they must make a show of offering some office to the re presentative of this great principle. They did so— but how ? The Cabinet was formed of the old here ditary materials, and then, but not till then, they told Mr. COBDEN that the comparatively trifling office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade was at his ac ceptance. It was, of course, rejected, as far beneath the claims of the Hon. Gentleman. It was then given to Mr. MILNER GIR3ON ; but when, after a couple of years' trial, the chief office in the department became vacant, which would have given a seat in the Cabinet, they declined advancing the Right Hon. Gentleman, because he had not the aristocratic blood which they deemed essential; and he thereupon very properly threw up the subordinate situation. Mr. COBDEN, during the five years which preceded Free Trade, had shown himself as clever, at the very least, as any Mem ber of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Administration. But although he had brains, he wanted blood. Had he been the son, or grandson, or brother, or even cousin of some noble sinecurist, or placeman, or pen sioner—he would, as such, have been qualified for official companionship with the RUSSELLS, the GREYS, and the ELLIOTTS, who are now grumbling Members of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. The son of a farmer in Sussex, and himself partner in a concern in Man cheater, had no chance, with the aristocratic Whigs, who affect to be the champions of Liberal principles. JOHN MACGREGOR was another glaring instance of their gross neglect of men of ability and experi ence. During the time that Hon. Gentleman was Secretary to the Board of Trade, he had exhibited his peculiar aptitude for the most important situations. His services were exceedingly valuable, and his effi • ciency was recognized in the most flittering manner by Sir ROBERT PEEL, who candidly acknowledged the great assistance received from Mr. MACGREGOR, who prepared the Tariffs that constituted the founda tion and commencement of Free Trade. There is no doubt that Sir RoisEnT would gladly have availed himself of Mr. M.ACGREGOR,'S assistance in a higher station ; but the Hon. Gentleman was faithful to the Liberal cause, although he discharged his officialdutie es in the most exemplary manner, Although, es Secre tary of the Board of Trade, he made all the calcula- tions and prepared the measures about to be brought forward, he would not become a member of a Ministry of whose principles be did not approve. When the Whigs came into office he became a candidate for the representation of Glasgow. There was nothing in the duties of Secretary to the Board of Trade incom patible with a seat in Parliament. Lord JOHN Rus- SELL, however, affected to think so; and Mr. MAC GREGOR resigned a permanent situation which many persons would have considered a handsome reward for Parliamentary services, rather than disappoint the im portant cor.stituency whose suffrages he had solicited. He was elected by a large majority. He exhibited incontestible evidence of ability in the House, but he still kept aloof. Had he been made Chancellor of the Exchequer, as he ought to have been, on any of Sir CHARLES WOOD'S notorious failures, and allowed the influence due to the position, the Whig Ministry would probably still have retained office. The ne glect of Mr. MACGREGOR was, however, fully avenged on the aristocrats, who would not suffer one of the people, however great his talents, " to come between the wind and their nobility." We greatly fear that the present office-seekers (who were late the office-holders) still cling to the fond de lusion that they, by prescription and practice, are alone qualified to govern the country. Mere ability goes a very short way with them. Family connexion is everything—the very alpha and omega of the ne cessary qualifications. The Ministry was quite a family party—cousins and uncles, and fathers-in-law and brothers-in-law, and other near relatives. Th3y could not think of admitting any person who was not " one of ourselves." And, in the disposal of patron age, from the famous GREY list of 1832 (by which it appeared that the GREYS alone held places to the annual amount of nearly 70,0001.) down to the very day on which, in a pet with Lord PALMERSTON, Lord JOHN threw up his cards, these men have invariably had regard to what were denominated "the claims" of their own relatives. We have beard of "an ignorant impatience of taxa tion." The clique above alluded to have also an im patience, as impudent as it is ignorant. They are impatient of Genius, impatient of Industry, impatient of Patriotism, impatient of Eloquence, impatient of Tact—unless that genius, industry, patriotism, elo quence, and tact, belong to, or be exhibited by, one of themselves. in Ca.utz.r. JAMES FoR and in WIL. Lux PITT they recognized these elements—because the one was son of Lord HOLLAND and the other of the Earl of CHATHAM. In GEORGE CANNING they would not recognize them, because he was only the son of a private gentleman. Not only did his Tory colleagues turn out in 1827, when GEORGE the Fourth made him Premier, but the very men he had a right to reckon on assailel him, because he was " No tenth transmitter of a foolish face." Earl GREY turned fiercely on him, as must be well remembered, at the very time when CANNING was in. truducing liberal measures for the country's good. And this enmity resulted from CANNING'S not being "of noble blood." It was, however, amusing to hear Lord GREY then talk of "standing by his order"-- his own peerage being of recent date, the first being conferred on his father. Air. DISRAELI, and such of his colleagues as, un- happily, do not boast of noble ancestry or aristocratic connexions, may, of course, calculate on the enmity of "the family party ;" for if worth alone made the Minister, what would their own chances of office be ? We venture to think, however, that the public will be disposed to look rather at what a man does than at who he is; and that, provided he serve them well and efficiently, they will not cariouily or captiously in quire whether he has sixteen noble quarteriogs on his shield. Lord DERBY, if he conferred no other bene fit on the community during his tenure of office, has at all iaall events done one act o f no o rdin a ry importance decesturs as adnainister e d a w h o l esome re b u k e t o his pre. : e h il op e e bas broken up the clique—be has dis• solved, for ever, " th e f am ily p ar ty." T we busy borough of Oldh am i s new t h e scene o f t hot electoral c ontest, and one in our judgment of no ordinary interest --only second p er h a p s , t o th e elle et ugh, s o , the result of which Mr. MACAULAY'S return to the British Senate depended. Mr. Fox would, indeed, be the last man in the king- dom to place himself on a literary level with Mr. MACAULAY, but, 29 a working Member and eloquent speaker in the House of Commons, his services would not be inferior to those of the splendid historian. If, however, Mr. Fox mttst take rank after Mr. MACAULAY, where must his opponent Mr. HEALD be placed? To mention his name at all, in connexion with that of MACAULAY, would certainly excite in every reader's mind a suspicion that we were bereft of our senses ; nay, to place it beside those of Mr. MACAULAY'S fellow-candidates, successful or unsuc cessful, were, to say the least, a sore impeachment of our common sense. Whatever the distance between the brilliant essayist and historian, and the League's most splendid orator, far far greater is the distance between a HEALD, of Stockport notoriety, and such admirable citizen candidates as Mr. COWAN and Mr. DUNCAN MCLAREN. Indeed, two men of the bur. gess-class could scarcely be selected snore fit to re present its interests in the House of Commons than the two gentleme❑ last named. We have certainly no personal ground of quarrel with Mr. HEALD, and of his private life we know nothing ; but we know that his entrance into Parliament via Stockport was attended with such Bacchanalian orgies and Satur nalia, that we have heard him designated as the " beer barrel Member," and heard also that a petition, if presented, must have released him from the privilege of voting against every liberal measure in the last Par liament. Of course all the excesses of that election, like those which now disgust every decent inhabitant of Oldham, " were entirely without the knowledge or privity of the Hon. Member." We are quite con fident, indeed, that a distinguished follower of JOHN WESLEY, the thorough-going teetotaller, a gentle man, who, though ct layman, was actually invited to the purely clerical Conference of the Methodists, and congratulated too, on his election,—we are confident, we repeat, that he knows nothing of all the " pot walloping" by which his agents gained him one elec ,ion, and are now trying to gain him another. No, we sincerely believe that Mr. HEALD hates drunkenness and all its brutal consequences as much as we do; he is a worthy manufacturer of the soberest class. Mr. HEALD is 100 a Tory,—a Tory intellectually, being of just that mental calibre which, with a certain amount of even manufacturing wealth, is so frequently associated with stand-where-we-are predilections,— Tory by party, having, we believe, belonged for no inconsi derable time to the Church and King squadron, — and a Tory ecclesiastically, being a specially favoured supporter of the most tnorough-go ng ecclesiastical despotism in the kingdom, Popery not excepted. With the religious doctrines of the Wesleyans we have noosing whatever to do ; they harmonize, we believe, in all essential points with those of the great body of Protestants. Till of late years, moreover, the zeal, honest zeal, for the more part, with which they la boured to reclaim the most neglected classes, won for them the commendations of candid men of all creeds; but it is only too notorious that, of late years, that great body has been thoroughly rent on the question whether Methodist Government should be a pure Aristocracy of Clergymen, with powers of ex pulsion, of suppression of all discussion, of compulsory self-crimination against a suspected brother,—such as, we believe, are hardly known in Popery, certainly not possessed by any other religious body iu England —the question whether Methodist Government should be of this kind, or should admit laymen to some share of power, and to some freedom of debate. Now we think it a very ominous symptom of the quality of a man's Toryism when he is the special favourite of such an ecclesiastical body as we have described. The more liberal Irish Members, such as denounced, the other day, the persecutions of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, these are not the favourites of the more despotic portion of the Catholic Priest hood. Nor is Mr. HEALD the approved man of the large number amongst the Wesleyans who are now strenuously advocating a more liberal ecclesiastical system. We must think, therefore, that such a pet man of the closest clerical corporation in Protestant ism, perhaps in the world, is liable to be a I Tory of far less sympathy with British liber ties, than the manly Tories of the hearty old school. Toryism of this sort is a kind of ho nourable inheritance—an heirloom, so to speak. Methodist Toryism, with which nearly all the mem bers of Conference, and its wealthier supporters, are so thoroughly imbued, is a very different thing. It is the Toryism of men born of the people, for some time subject themselves to the iron sway of Conference, and at last elevated to become the irresponsible rulers of the laity from whom they sprung. Hence they have arranged a system as complete as that of Austria for suppressing all liberty of discussion, and all free dom of the Press, so far es their own body is con cerned. Hence they are not the mere inheritors of a party name which they think it not honourable to renounce, but the watchful guardians of an absolute power which they have centred in their own hands. They live in a kind of constant conspiracy against the religious liberties of their own body, and are there fore just the class of Tories whom we least desire to see entrusted with the civil and religious liberties of their fellow-subjects. Most consistently did Mr. HEALD vote against every measure of Reform in the last Parliament. We were chiefly surprised to see him vote against the repeal of the Malt-tax. We should have supposed cheaper beer would have been an undeniable demand of his agents and constituents. It is by such a Tory that Mr. Fox is opposed in the manufacturing borough of Oldham. We must think it almost a disgrace to the borough that an opposition of such a kind was considered possible. The merits of Mr. Fox are too well-known to hundreds of thousands of auditors at public meetings, and to the more fastidious ears of the British Senate, too welt known to every reader of Parliamentary debates, and to every friend of cheap bread for the million, of cheap education for the million, and of political rights for the million, also, to need a line from us. We trust the people of Oldham will do themselves the honour which the electors of Edinburgh have done, of repairing a most discreditable electoral mis hap, at the very first opportunity. Mr. Fox, they may be assured, is a man whom, like Mr. Meessuaays the opposite party, as well as his own, do not like to miss from the House of Commons. His speeches are amongst the few which are listened to and read. In him, Oldham would have not only a vote, but a voice,, in the Councils of the nation. The electors of Edin burgh were obliged, in returning Mr. MACAULAY, to reject some other candidate who might have done them credit in the Legislature; the electors of Oldham are certainly not perplexed by any such difficulty, WESTMINSTER NEW BRIDGE.—The CommiiNn ss ve ion n o o r . a of her Majesty works and public buildings have g tice of their intention of introducing into parliament a bill for the purpose of enabling them to pull down the present bridge and to erect a new one in its place. The principal clause in the present bill sets at rest a l l the doubts which have been raised as to its being the intention of the commis sioners to erect the bridge lower do wn t h e river , for they ask for powers to "e nable them to construct a brid g e from or near the stairs or landing place at the foot of the present bridge, on the Middlesex shore of the river, to or near the stairs or landing places of the said bridge, on the Surrey shore of the river, in the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth." The commissioners also intend asking for powers to enable them to materially alter the approaches to the present bridge. TIIE DIAMOND STEAMPACKET COMPANY. terday the annual general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held at the Town-ball, Gravesend, when, the report having been read by the secretary, the chairman, Bin Fletcher, expressed his opinion that the policy of the pro prie • tors was to dissolve the company as soon as po ss ibl e . This opinion having met the general concurrence of the proprietors, resolutions were forthwith passed for carrying it into effect, and for calling t o gether a general court of pro prietors to consider the best means of proceeding. Only one dissentient hand was held up on the resolution for the disso lution being put. INFANTICIDE.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, held an inquiry at the St. George's Tavern, Belgreve-road, into the circum-aances attending the death of a newly-born male infant, the illegitimate offspring of Har riet Earwaker, a cook in the fam.ly of Captain Codrington, No. 82, Eccleston-square, Pimlico. The child was or full period, and had breathed ; but the medical man could net say the exact cause of death. Verdict —Manslaughter, the child having died from neglect. PRATIIICIDE.—Y4sterday Mr. Waley held an inquiat at the Bank of England Tavern, Paddington, on the death of Charles Baker, aged 13, which resulted irons injuries inflicted upon him with a dessert knife by his brother, Wil liam Baker, aged 11 years. Deceased was of a very aggra vattog and prowling temper, but the jury, atter a short consultation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Wil liam Baker.

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] Winter has seldom been accompanied in its ap proach by so many considerations of absorbing inte rest as those which have now descended almost simul taneously upon the thoughts of Englishmen. In Lon- , don especially, the throng of events has latterly become matter of anxiety as well as of observation. Even the civic festivities, whieh annually take , Place on the 9,th of November, were compelled for ii once to be neglected, and GoG and MAGOG were compelled on Tuesday to watch the twilight stealing over the bare pavements of the banquetting-room at Guildhall, instead of over the boards laden with turtle and pine-apple, in honour of the inauguration of the Chief Magistrate. The Woods and Forests seem almost to have betr,ken themselves en masse for a while to St. Paul's Cathedral. The old Chelsea pensioners are awakened from their customary quietude, and the chief apartments of this hospital are already fitted up for the 13 ing in state of th e greatest soldier in England. The most immediate object of importance, in fact, to the people of the metropolis at this juncture, iF, as might have been expected, the preparations making for the pub lic obsequies of the late illustrious Duke of I,VELLING TON. Scarcely any one amongst us has leisure just now for more than a passing thought of sympathy for the misfortune which has befallen the United Sates in the demise of the most eminent and gifted of American citizens. For we remember that if WEBSTER is missed in Washington, WELLINGTON iS b• us as bitterly missed in Westminster. It can oily be after we have evidenced our respect for the memory of this distinguished personage, by the per formance of solemn funereal ceremonies under the dcme of the metropolitan cathedral, that we shall find orrselves enabled to appreciate the momentous cha racter of the events which are at the present crisis im pmding both internal and externally, in one direction for the weal or woe of the United Kingdom, in another for the welfare or misery of Christendom. Scarcely will the minister of religion have thrown dust, as an emblem of mortality, upon the coffin of the victor of WATErmoo, when the descendant of the defeated of Waterloo will have been solemnly raised upon the national buckler of France, by the name, with the glory, and in the pomp of the Third EMPEROR NAPOLEON. Contrasting the two inci dent!;, as they may reasonably be contrasted, from the circumstance of their occurring within the limits of this memorable month of November, we cannot but be at once impressed with the full weight of their significance. They illustrate anew the truthfulness of that grand old apophthegm, that " Man proposes, but God disposes." They serve to remind us how entirely the deeds of Time are the fruits of Pro vidence. They indicate, with touching solemnity, the import of that saying of the Hebrew Prophet, that as clay is in the hands of the potter, so is the creature in those of the Divinity. Under these consideration , , it is impossible to regard without emotion, the inscription upon the tomb of the old Dug.; and the reply delivered by the new Emperor to the Senbtus Consulturn only a few days before the interment (t . WELLINGTON. That re ply was, as may have been observed, pronounced in the same palace, in the same apartment as that in which a similar document was presented in 1804 to the Great Consul NeroLtoN BONAPARTE. Remembering the coinci dence of those occasions so widely separated by time from each other, the descendant of NAPOLEON spoke thus to the assembled Senators—" When forty-eight years since, in this same palace, in this same room, and under analogous circumstances, the Senate came to offer the crown to the chief of my family, the Em peror replied by these memorable words—' illy spirit w ill n o longer be with my posterity from the day when it shall cease to merit the love and the confi dence of this great nation'—what now most affects m y heart is the thought that the spirit of the Emperor is with inc—that his ideas guide me—that his shade protects me, since by a solemn proceeding you come in the name of the French people to prove to me that I have merited the confidence of the country. And little more than a week afterwards the burial service was being solemnly chaunted over the remains of ARTHUR, DUKE OF WELLINGTON. At present it is scarcely possible fully to appreciate the extraordinary singularity of such occurrences es i these being ..amost simultaneous. Reflection is re ! quired, indeetl, for their full an d deliberate appre t hension. A TOMB FOR HOOD. (From Punch.) Gars HOOD a tombstone ;—'tis not much to give To one who stirr'd so oft our smiles and tears; But %.N y a tomb to him whose lines will live, His noblest monument, to after years? To which I answer, that in times to come— Times of more equal lots and gentler laws — The workers may not seek, in vain, his tomb Who pleaded, once, so movingly their cause. If marble mark tie soldier's, stateman's grave, F monuments adorn his place of sleep Whose hand struck off the fetters from the slave, And his who sou4ht out woe in dungeon's deep, Did he not fight for Toil's sad sons and daughters? wss he not potent to arrest the slaughters W a s not his voice loud for the worker's right ? Of Capital and Labour's desperate fight ? Ohl mothers, think of his melodious pity Over the victim of the Bridge of Sighs— Oh! Almoners of the o'er- crowded city, Think of the shirt-ratker's heart-piercing cries You, too, whose lighter hearts turned from such themes, Who sought his p a page tor smiles and not for tears , Think of his wit, how Pure and bright its gleams, blocking the sadnes s of his later years : Aad say, if Hoop should mou'der into dust Without a stone to mark his place of rest— Whose fiercest scorn ne'er sought a mark unjust, Whose sharpest wit-shaft ne'er pained living breast? ifONUMEIN'T TO THE LATE THOMAS 110 67).

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A POLICEMAN AT KILBrRN.— Yeste r day morni - g , b etween three a nd f our o'clock, as Police-constable Alfred Critle, 239 S, was going his rounds in X ilburn-lane, he met with two well-known characters, whom he accosted, when words arose. One of his antagonists drew a knife, and the unfortunate man was stabbed in the side of the head ; he, however, succeeded in raising an alarm, when some of his brother officers came to his assistance. THE NEW PARLIAMENT. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. The Queen met the New Parliament to-day in person. In chronicling this event, the mind is naturally led to a comparison of the present with the past, and the contrast which is presented is certainly somewhat singular. When the last Parliament wet in 1847, there was a decided majority in favour of Eree Traae, and a Ministry pledged to that policy. In the New Parliament of 1852, the strength of numbers is on the same side; but there is this difference, that though the success of Free Trade is demonstrated by the general prosperity of the country, the Govern ment is in possession of Protectionists. This anomalous state of things is explained by the fact of theirs being the only party capable of taking office, when suddenly va cated by the Whigs. As, however, the actual state of the representation, if not common sense, shows that any return to the old system is impoa,ible. The existing Ministry are, no doubt, waiting for an opportunity to gently lay aside the " cry " which has hitherto handed them together, with the view of becoming simply known as a Conservative party. Be that as it may, the political atmosphere forbodes a storm, and it is difficult to say what is not looming in the future. The constitution of the House of Lords is such, that on the assembling of a new Parliament, scarcely any change is to be observed among its members; but since the last Royal Speech was delivered—that messenger who respects neither person nor station, has taken away one from that august body whose absence will be severely felt by all who have, during any part of the last quarter of a century, taken part in its de liberations. If, as Macaulay says, the new House of Commons will not look itself without Sir Robert Peel, what will the House of Peers be without the Duke of Wellington ? That distinguished person is no longer there to receive the veneration and esteem of his brother peers, nor to excite the admiration or curiosity of strangers. His sage advice and intuitive foresight cannot again be called in aid in periods of political difficulty or internal disorder, or when foreign hostilities threaten the land. The spirit of that venerable figure on which time bad done its work has now passed away to another scene, but his memory can never be effaced from the memory of iinglishmen. Independent of the irreparable loss sustained by the death of the great Duke, his dis appearance from the House of Lords will have an im portant political influence. It is well known that a considerable number of Peers, who had more re liance on the opinion of the Duke than their own judgment, intrusted him with their proxies, which placed him in a position to carry or defeat some questions of considerable importance. These, of course, will be scattered about, and perhaps may influence questions in a different direction than when in the hands of the Duke. In the House of Com mons there are many new faces, most of whom are comparatively unknown, and inexperienced in statesmanship. Some of these may have within them the germs of success, but the majority will, perhaps, either sink into respectable representatives, or prove lamentable failures. Her Msjesty left Buckingham Palace shortly after two o'clock, and was received on her way to West minster with much warmth and enthusiasm by the spectators congregated on the route. On reaching the grand entrance of the Houses of Parliament at the Victoria Tower, she was received by the different Officers of State, who conducted her to the House of Lords. HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack shortly after one o'clock. Several Peers took the oaths. Shortly after two o'clock her 111.1jesty entered the House preceded by the officers of the Household and the great officers of State in the usual order. Her Majesty having taken her seat on the Throne, Sir Augustus Clifford, the Gentleman Usher of Oat Black Rod, left the House to summon the Commons. After a short interval the Commons were heard advancing along the great corridor which separates the two Houses, and appeared in great numbers preceded by the Speaker. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Mr. Secretary Walpole, and several others of the Cabinet, were among the foremost. Her MAJESTY then read the Royal Speech as fo] lows "My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, "I cannot meet you for the first time after the dissolution of Parliament, without expressing my deep sorrow, in which I am sure you will parti cipate, that your deliberations can no longer be aided by the counsels of that illustrious man whose great achievements have exalted the name of Eng. land, and in whose loyalty and patriotism the in terests of my Throne and of my people ever found an unfailing support. I rely with confidence on your desire to join with me in taking such steps as may mark yolsr sense of the irreparable loss which the country has sustained by the death of Arthur, Duke of Wellington. " I am happy to ackuowledge the readiness with which my subjects in general have come forward, in Pursuance of the Act of last session, to join the ranks of the Militia ; and I confidently trust that the force thus raised by voluntary enlistment, will be calcu lated to give effective aid to my regular army for the protection and security of the country. " I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers assurances of their anxious desire to maintain the friendly relations now happily subsisting with my Government. "Frequent and well-founded complaints on the part of my North American Colonies, of infractions by citizens of the United States, of the Fishery Con vention of 1818, induced me to dispatch for the pro tection of their interests a class of vessels better adapted to the service than those which had been previously employed. This step has led to discussions with the Government of the United States ; and while the rights of my subjects have been firmly maintained, the friendly spirit in which the question has been treated induces me to hope that the ultimate result may be a mutually beneficial extension and improve• ment of our commercial intercourse with that great Republic. " The Special Commission which, in concert with the Prince President of the French Republic, I deemed it right to send to the Argentine Confedera tion, has been received with the utmost cordiality, and the wise and enlightened policy of the Provisional Director has already opened to the commerce of the world the great rivers hitherto closed, which afford an access to the interior of the vast Continent of South America. " I have the satisfaction of announcing to you that the sincere and zealous efforts of the Government of Brazil for the suppression of the Slave Trade, now nearly extinguished on that coast, have enabled me to suspend the stringent measures which I had bee❑ compelled reluctantly to adopt, a recurrence to which I anxiously hope may be proved to be unnecessary. " The Government of Her Most Faithful Majesty have fully recognized the justice of the claim which my Government have long urged for the abolition of the discriminating duties on the export of Wine, and have passed a decree for giving complete effect to the stipulations of the Treaty on this subject. " You will probably deem it advisable to resume the inquiries which were commenced by the late Par liament, with a view to legislation on the subject of the future government of my East Indian Possee- eions. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, "The estimates for the ensuing year will ja due time he laid before you. " The advancement of the Fine Arts and of Practical Science will be readily recognized by you as worthy of the attention of a great and enlightened nation. I have directed that a comprehensive scheme shall be laid before you, having in view the promotion of these objects, to wards which I invite your aid end co-operation. " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " It gives me pleasure to be enabled by the bless ing of Providence to congratulate you on the gene rally improved condition of the country, and especially of the Industrious Classes. If you should be of opinion that recent legislation in contributing with other causes, to this happy result, has at the . same time inflicted tin avo id a bl s i n j ury on certain Wl' portant interests, I recommend you dispassionately to consider how far it may be practicable equitably to mitigate that injury, and to enable the industry of the country to meet successfully that unrestricted competition to which Parliament, in its wisdom, has decided that it should be subjected. " I trust that the general improvement, notwith standing manyiobstacles, has extended to Ireland ; and while I rely with confidence on your aid, should itbe required, to restrain that unhappy spirit of insubordi nation and turbulence which produces many, and ag gravates all of the evils which afflict that portion of my dominions, I recommend to you the adoption of such a liberal and generous policy towards Ireland, as may encourage and assist her to rally from the de pression in which she has been sunk by the sufferings of late years. " Anxious to promote the efficiency of every branch of our National Church, I have thought fit to issue a Commission to inquire and report to me how far, in their opinion, the Capitular Institutions of the coun try are capable of being made more effective for the great objects of religious worship, religious educa cation, and ecclesiastical discipline. "I have directed that the report of the Commis sioners for inquiring into the system of education pursued at Oxford and Cambridge, should be com municated to the governing bodies of those Univer sities for their consideration, and I rely upon your readiness to remove any legal difficulties which may impede the desire of the Universities at large, or of the several Colleges, to introduce such amendments into their existing system as they may deem to be more in accordance with the requirements of the pre sent time. " The system of Secondary Punishments has use fully occupied the labours of successive Parliaments, and I shall rejoice if you shall find it possible to de vise means by which, without giving encouragement to crime, transportation to Van Diemen's Land may at no distant period be altogether discontinued. " The subject of Legal Reform continues to engage my anxious attention. The Acts passed in the last session of Parliament have been followed up by the orders necessary for putting them in operation ; in quiries are in progress, by my direction, with a view of bringing into harmony the testamentary jurisdic tion of my several Courts ; and bills will be submitted to you for effecting further improvements in the ad ministration of the law. " To these, and other measures affecting the social condition of the country, lam persuaded that you will give your earnest and zealous attention ; and I pray that by the blessing of Almighty God, your de liberations may be guided to the well-being and happiness of my people." After the Speech, her Majesty left the House and returned to Buckingham Palace, in the same order in which she arrived. Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Speaker took the chair at one o'clock. A large number of Members took the oaths and ;heir seats. Shortly after two, Sir Augustus Clifford, the Gen tleman Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the Bar, and, advancing to the table, commended the immediate attendance of the Commons to the other House, to hear her Majesty's Speech read. The Speaker then left the House, followed by a large number of Members. Oa their return, the House immediately adjourned until a quarter to four. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
