IEkTRUCTIVE FIRI AT PETER 1' BOROUGH. Extract from z, l'Ovate Letter. Dated 23d February.— " A dreadful fire brole out this morning at 10 o'clock—the wind being west and south-west, which has, burned down all the houses beyxnul the I n fi rmar y.

It ex tended, an d i n a very 'short time the whole of the houses down. to the Independent Chapel were on fire. When it - eathed to the Chapel, the flames suddenly darted across the - -eet, by the force of the wind, which blew strongly, and ught the Chair:Tail's house, immediately opposite the Cha -1(1 There it again commenced, and burned with great fury, till every heuFe in the row was consumed, as well as all those in Borou:;:h l ..qtry Lane.

It burst forth in various places; every few minutes, and at this moment, S o'clock, P. if. it iS raging with considerable violence. It was dreadful to 'tear the cries and lamentations of the poor people, many, indeed ticrrlv all, of whom have lost their all, and had even a difficulty of escaping with their lives.

The Pr' ince EAing told me the history of Fra Diavolo, who boon the subject of so many ro mances and mel::dminas. Fra Diavolo's rcnl name was Michele Pezza, and he was already famous I'm- his robberies and massacres at Itri, during the campaign of Naples, commanded by 'Championnett. At the time he harassed the rear of the French army, ~ r ganized masses of insurgents in Upper and Lower Ca!abria, and directed a formidable conspiracy again r,t the French. He was a native of Itri (Terra de L or), and in his youth was a goat herd. He afterwarcL entered a convent, turned monk, and, strange took the name of Fra Angelo. However, his Irld cor•bict speedily caused him to be expelled from th , 2 convent, and he then fled to the mountains, and ;,nrsned the life of a bandit. He lived by plunder, awl every day was marked by a mur der. He headed a party of smugglers, and spread desolation thron;hout the country. The Government of King Ferclinal:(l condemned him to be hanged, and a price was set nponitis bead. But Queen 61r01.1112, Ferdinand's wife, was a wo man who knew 'low to turn everything, however bad, to some useful r,,Teitnt. An amnesty was granted to Michele Pezza, and h was appointed commander of a corps of freed slaves, who were to attack the rear of the from Fondi to Garigliano. When the took Gaeta and Capoua, Fra Diavolo fixed ! - .irtrters in Itri, his native country, where he cow • ,c . ,1 evert imaginable horror. The inhabitants of ',re tov;r) were plundered of all they possessed, was soon occupied only by the followers of Fri . Travellers journeying from Naples to lio;im, wbo 'entered Itri for a night's lodg ing, slept - never to again. The most artful de vices Were einplo, - (.1 to allure the victims into the houses of Itri, v.hich they never came out alive. General Oii%iv;- • , t that time had the command of Gaeta. Beira; o . 'f.aelf_sfl that a troop of banditti was in possession of 1“_, despatched a Polish regiment, *commanded by. vou:iLr, officer, who with chivalrous courage entered L , ,, ri; on the dangerous expedition. He expelled 1 - Yivolo from Itri, and drove him into the . wood; H 7 '] brigand, undaunted, returned, was attacked 1: , . • tIA_! P r Aish troops, and frightful car nave ensued. f!i , zat , ement took place in the town of Itri, and me:;: :.f houses were destroyed. Diavolo was a ,c()A(i. time driven into the ziountams, and the coun%c ronni Itri was scour;a-of banditti ; a benefit wh;. c h (Inc to till; energetic measures o f General cifivier. The Polish had no sooner withdrawn from Itri, and cornntel! , ...!,i th:!ir march to Molo-di-Gaeta, than two thousand in.iiirt7ents and banditti again showed themselve s . Gr.:n.2rai !.iiivier desp a t c h e d t wo squadrons and a Polish 1 - Attainn to meet them, who dispersed them, and 0fte:.w , ;.4.1i remained in possession of Itri. Fra Diavolo no 'oiler offered any resistance. He abandoned Term -de-tavora, and retired with his fol lowers to infest tlio Ca:abrias, which became the scene of his depredaticus .111:1 atrocities. Will future gencmtions ever believe that a man like Fra Diavolo should ha.ve enjoyed the favour of the Xing and Queen of Sicily ?. Yet incredible as it may appear, it is nevertheless the fact. Queen Caroline sent him a bracelet- ornamented with her portrait ; and the English Govcln;nent gave him a commission in the British arinv. 7:6 crown all, his life was spared, that life of which the hangman, had been defrauded, and on which a price had so lately been set. Massena assured me, that the power of Fra Dia volo was inconeei-,Abl e , during the first and second occupation of Naples by the French troops, for the inhabitants of the mountains, who were as lawless and desperate as himself, ioyfullv followed a chief who led them to plunder. - One day he ventured to make a descent upon Itri, from which the military force had been a short interval withdrawn. He entered in the middle of the night, barbarously massacred all who resisted him, and ulpde the rest of the inhabitants pri soners. On the second occupation of Naples by our troops, Fra Diavolo, I)ingr driven from Terra Firma, took refuge in Capri. He was at length arrested at Sa lerno, conveyed to Naples, and condemned without even the fonn of :1 trial ; " For," as Salicetti observed, "it was only tiescesary to refer to the sentence already passed upon him by those just and wise sove re i gns , Caroline a n d Ferdinand." The English, whose ships were cruising before the Bay of Naples, sent a flag of truce to solicit the liberation of the British Major Michele Pezza, as a prisoner of war, and threatening if the request should not be granted, to use reprisals towards all the Ncaoolitan prisoners who might fall into their hands. Salicetti's answer was that he knew of no Major in the English army who had been taken prisoner by his Maieuv King Joseph ; but that, if the individual referred to were Fra Diavolo, a man hold ing no commiF;thon,. and without character, either mi litary or political, he had been hanged the night before, in conformity witll an old sentence passed by the tri bunals of King Ferdinand, by which he had been con demned as a murder.:r, a robber, an incendiary and a smuggler ! Such is the true iiitory of Fra Diavolo. It is doubtful wither any amendments to the Ad dress will be tnos - HonEe of Lords, although it was understood yesterd3•,. that the Opposition party had determined to propose an amer.(in:Qv:. Should this resolution be carried into effect, Lord 7 2 , 1!_ti:ravo will,- it is said, be the mover.— Morning Post. The family of Mr. C. W. Wynn, is thrown into affliction by the illiwss at ci:e of the Right Hon. Gentleman's sons. It appears the young gentleman, while pursuing his studies at E!,, p. , •(.! , ,'.er.ta11y sprained one of his ankles, the inflammatory , r, ~ .ptorr.s from which have so far increased as to defy the skil: , of the first medical attendants, and he now lies in a vcr state at the town mansion in Grafton-street. On Thursday CV,ning last, a man, after placing his umbrella and hat upon the Pont-au-Change, at Paris, mounted the parapet, threw himself into the Seine, and was drowned. In his hat was found a letter, signed Felix Massonette, a Re publican, in which he stated that - money to pay two debts he owed, one of 70fr., .11 , 1 the other of 120 fr., would be found in his drawers, and as , :igned as the reason for his suicide the ma chinations of certain persons to implicate him in crimes. NIMROD'S HUNTING TOUR.—Some excellent stories are told of Stephen, Mr. Fellowes's huntsman, who has lived about thirty years in the family, and therefore, in some degree, a privileged man. It seems, however, that he has done credit to his master's good keep, and some of it, "as the sparks fly upwards," has found its way into his nose. On a friend of Mr. Fellowcs's giving him a hint of its rubicund ap pearance, he gave the following ingenious reason for the pos session of it—namely, that he caught it by riding after his master ever the cold moors." " How happens it," said my in formant, "that cur master has escaped the same fate?" " Why, Sir," said Stephen, "master is able to drink his bottle of port after his dina , r, which will keep the crimson frost work out of any man's nose." Another good thing is attri buted to Stephen. Taking his hounds to covert one morning, he was joined by a farmer who was notorious for a good tap of cider. " Well," said Stephen in his hearing, " I never will eat no more of those refi herrings for my breakfast, for they do make me so dry." ERRATUM.—.

This being the day appointed by his MAJESTY to open the New Parliament in person, every preparation was made in the House of Lords for the accommoda tion of the Peeresses and the few persons admitted by special tickets from the LORD CH AmBE ItL AI N, in Consequence . of the smallness of the new building. The day was unusually fine, and the crowd of spec- :ators was immense. The KING, preceded by the Yeomen of the Guard, the Master of the Horse ; the different branches of the Royal Family, and all the high Officers of State, left St. James's Palace shortly after two o'clock, escorted by a Guard of Honour of the Royal Horse Guards and 2d Regiment of Life Guards, in their State uniforms. The Royal cortege proceeded through St. James's Park, the Horse Guards, and Parliament street, to the House of Lords, where his MAJESTY, under a Royal salute, and the bands playing, was re ceived on alighting by the Duke of WELLINGTON in his robes, bearing the Sword of State. After robing, his MAJESTY entered the Hous:', all the Peers stand ing, &c. His MAJESTY having taken his seat on the Throne, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod was ordered to command the immediate attendance of the Commons. Shortly after' the New SrEAKEn (Mr. ABER- Gentlemen of the House of Com ic Bar. the Throne, then delivered the ROYAL. SPEECH : !` My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " I avail myself of the earliest opportunity of meeting you in Parliament, after having recurred to the sense of my people. " You will, I am confident, fully participate in the regret which I feel at the destruction, by acci , dental lire, of that part of the ancient Palace of West minster, which has been long appropriated to the use of the two Houses of Parliament. " Upon the occurrence of this calamity, I gave imme• diate directions that the best provision of which the circumstances of the case would admit, should be made for your present meeting, and it AIL be my wish to adopt such - ' accommodatk pions for the permanent of the two Houses of Parliament as shall oe deemed, in your joint consideration, to be the most fit- Ling and convenient. I will give directions that there be laid before you the report made to me by the Privy Council, in refe rence to the origin of the fire, and the evidence upon which it was founded. " The assurances which I receive from my Allies, and, generally, from all Foreign Princes and States, of their earnest desire to cultivate the relations of amity and to maintain with me the most friendly understanding, justify, on my part, the confident expectation of the continuance of the blessings of peace. " The single .exception to the general tranquillity of Europe, is the civil contest, which still prevails, in some of the northern provinces of Spain. " I will give directions that there be laid before you Arti cles which I have concluded with my Allies, the King of the French, the Queen of Spain, and the Queen of Portu gal, which are supplementary to the treaty of April, 1834, and are intended to facilitate the complete attainment of the objects contemplated by that Treaty. . " I have to repeat the expression of my regret that the relations between Holland and Belgium _still re main unsettled. LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1835. lours to the mast." The phrase admits of no misin terpretration. If they are to go down, down also (say they) shall go King, Constitution, and national order ; they have set their political life upon the cast, and they are resolved to stand the hataH of the die—if they are allowed, Are these the men to engage the confidence of. the people, m to be entrusted with the Government of the country ? Are those who would arrest the daring career of men, thus desperately acting in opposition to every good principle, moral or plitical, to be branad as factious, destructives ? Is not every effort to throw off this lueAtis from the national breast thou thati justified? Can any pledges from such TDPII be be lieved ? Ar(; they 'worth a straw ? Is it not mad ness to put the least faith in them ? Au amendment to the Address is to be.. proposed to-d a y ; the Reformers would have been traitors to their own cause—to the cause of the people, had they failed to do so. As his MAJESTY, by a political fiction, . is supposed not yet to know the nation's distrust of his Ministers, it has become neces sary to announce that distrust officially. To ima gine that there is anything disloyal, or insult ing, in such a course, is absurd : it is, in fact, the only constitutional mode of doing so. The Commons may hail with affection and respect the proposal of any measures of the Monarch for the welfare and just liber ties of the people, declared, though they may be, through a Tory medium ; but it pre-supposes nothing insolent to make known to the SOVEREIGN that, though, ac cepting with gratitude the Royal intentions in this re spect, the present Government is odious to the people, and that they implore his MAJESTY to dismiss them from his councils. With such a manifestation of public feeling before his eyes we have no fear of the. rectitude of the KING'S judgment—no doubt that he will spurn the Tories from him, colours, mast, and all. Letters and Papers from Lisbon, via Falmouth, by his Majesty's steamer Meteor, have been received by express. The Meteor sailed from Lisbon on the 16th inst., and arrived at Falmouth on Sunday, bringing intelligence up to the hour of her departure from the Portuguese capital. On the 14th Prince AUGUSTUS of Portugal, husband of the young QUEEN, took his seat in the Chamber of Peers, having first taken the customary oaths as a Peer of the kingdom, and in the course of the sitting, delivered his first speech, and gave his first cote l it 4 favour of Ministers. The speech, which was well received, will be found annexed ; and we think, from the sentiments expressed in it, augurs well for the character of his Highness. We learn that the opposition were somewhat disappointed, as the leaders of it had anticipated the countenance and support of the PRINCE, but it appears that his wish is to discountenance all intrigue—to take no part on any question frOin factious motives—and to give his gene ral support to those men who, by their past conduct under the regime of Don PEDRO, have proved the sincerity of their devotion to the liberties of Portugal. Even were the PRINCE'S sentiments different from these, he could not with any show of decency give his first vote against the QUEEN'S Government, on a question of no vital importance to the country, after the many - proofs he has received of the kindly feelings of that Government towards himself, and his convic tion of its tenderness of the interests of his Royal Consort, (luring the time which elapsed between the death of her august father, and his own arrival in the country. The rumoured changes in the Ministry are without foundation. The Government will be conducted for some time longer by the Ministers at present in office. M. CARVALIIO'S conduct, as Minister of Finance, has given very general satisfaction to all parties ; even the opposition admits that Portugal possesses few men so capable of managing the financial affairs of the kingdom. The heart of Don PEDRO, in compliance with his dying request, has been deposited with great state in the church of N. S. da Lappa ; the sacred edifice within whose walls the ex-Emperor held his Sabbath parades during the siege of Oporto. The heart was enclosed in a silver gilt urn, encased in a box, and was delivered by Colonel PINMANTEL, with a letter from the Empress to the municipality, granting an hundred and sixty thousand refs to be distributed among five hundred and fifty-five poor persons. The ceremony of depositing the heart was very splendid, and impressive, and was attended by all the great of ficers of the household. A monument has since been erected in the church to the memory of the illustrious deceased, surmounted by the arms of the Imperial House of B; acanza b. • In the interior of Portugal everything goes on pros perously- The people, who are all devotedly attached to the person of the QUEEN, are peaceable and con tented, and the devastations occasioned by the. late war are beginning to disappear, in consequence of the industrious habits of the working classes. The QUEEN is already reported to be "as ladies wish to be who love their lords"—a report which has diffused a general joy among the people. Considering the short time which has elapsed since the consummation of her MAJESTY'S marriage, we hardly think it pos sible for the most experienced courtier to decide whe ther the QUEEN be, or be not, enciente. A short time, however, will suffice for the solution of all doubts on the subject. The following is a _copy of Prince AUGUSTUS'S maiden speech in the Chamber of Peers From the Diario Governo, of Feb. 16.) SPEECH or 1115 ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE AUGUSTUS OF POR qTGAL IN THE CHAMBER OF PEERS, ON THE 14TH INST., AFTER TAKING HIS OATH AS A PEER OF THE KINGDOM. SCIIIIOrCS,—From the moment when our august Sovereign the Queen honoured me by her choice, I became a Portuguese, and made a voluntary comp ac t w i t h myself to fulfil the duties imposed upon me under that name, to the latest period of my e xistence. I come to-day to renew this promise before you all, and I ratify it by my oath of fidelity to the Constitutional Charter, which we owe to the noble spirit and exalted mind of the Emperor Don Pedro of glorious memory. This oath shall never be violated, and to that I pledge myself, as well by the respect which I owe, and with which my heart is pene trated, both to the memory of my own father, and to that of the father of the Queen. The son of a soldier, who (it will be permitted to me to say) wa s a ll hi s lif e a model of honour and loyalty, and who merited the distinctions which he trans mitted to his family by his prudence in council and his courage in the field, I was pointed out to the choice of the Queen and the confidence of the Portuguese nation, by a Prince who never failed in his word, who was brave amongst the brave, and who deprived, so to speak, entirely of all other as sistance but that which he derived from himself, confronted all obstaele,3, privations, fatigues, and dangers, in order to a ccomplish the generous design which h e had formed, l of re storing to the Portuguese the Constitution vrhich he had granted them, and to his beloved daughte r th e th rone o f h er ancestors—a Prince, in fine, prematurely snatched from his country and his family, who (without fear of being belied by history), was able to say . with his latest breath, that he had fulfilled to all the promises which he had made,—l present myself to the Portuguese' under the protection of so high an origin, of which I am too vain not to exert all my endeavours and all my capabilities to render myself worthy. " At this day, Senhores, thanks to the genius and the sword of the titilse of Braganza, our country sees the end of the events which have so long agitated it, and let us console our selves with thinking that the honourable Representatives of the nation in the two Chambers can now apply themselves, without any obstacle, and with the zeal which animates them, to conso lidate the edifice raised by Don Pedro; to settle the national Charter, by regulating first of all those laws which will per petually secure us those benefits, and afterwards all those w'uch we may yet be in want of for the better and more equal administration of justice to every citizen, the first necessity of the people and the first duty of Kings; to offer to the youth of Portugal—the hope of their country—the treasure of a sound And uefttl course of instruction, and finally to inspire anew the arts, the sciences, agriculture, industry, and commerce. How happy, then, will the Legislators of Portugal be in see ing t h e rewal s,.. - ' of their toils in the increased internal pros _the consideration which it already perity of the State, Ana .; -;es. For my own part, enjoys in the eyes of foreign menu,. . of este i em . and Senhores, deeply penetrated by the marks arrive, !ri this kindness which I have received from all, on my capital, I consider myself highly fortunate in being able avail myself of this occasion to express mV gratitude in the strongest manner possible, and to declare that my sole ambi tion will ever be to justify so flattering a reception. " Placed as I am beside the Queen, I can ill supply the counsel with which she might have been assisted by her illus trious Father; but that Prince honoured me (as you know) with his friendship, confided to me his noble thoughts, and often allowed me to read the bottom of his soul. It shall, therefore, I promise you, be in the remembrance of the con versations which he held with me, that I shall seek for the principles which are to guide my conduct, and in the acts of his public life, that I shall find the rules for directing mine. A certain maxim which I have often beard him repeat, and which I shall never forget, was, that economy on the part of a Prince is not only the best course for him to follow, but also the best example which he can give. In one word, Senhores, I!shall join my feeble strength to all your endeavours to se cure the happiness of the Queen and the nation. May Ibe permitted, before I conclude, to express the wishes which I have formed in my heart, which you will share with me, and which were the last formed by Don Pedro, Let the remem brance of our unhappy dissensions and parties be extinguished. Would to God that the designations which indicate them might disappear from our language, which, perchance, may else be one day renewed ; let us all unite, from this day for ward, both in sentiments and in doctrine ; let our first consi deration be the love of our country and of our young and be loved Queen. Be this, and respect to the religion of our country, and to the Constitutional Charter, joined to obedience to the laws, even to those which were left imperfect when they were amended ermodified by the form prescribed in the Char ter. The prosperity of a state depends on the same condi tions as its liberty ; both are the children of order, and I flatter myself that there are none in Portugal who will think differently with me. The best, and, 14 the same time, the only guarantee for order, consists in the religious respect of all, whether governing or governed, to the institutions and the laws." Advices from the Athens, now the capital of Greece, to the date of the 24th of January, have been received. The 6th inst. had been appointed for the opening of the courts of law, and the regular performance of the more important judicial and executive functions of Government. The names of the Judges and Presi dents of the Courts had then been published, and appeared to create much dissatisfaction among the people. Many of the Judges are young men, who have merely attained their majority ; and, therefore,.are without either the gravity of deportment, or the expe rience necessary to the effective administration of the laws among a half-civilized people. Again, their salaries are wretched in the extreme,.varving from 861. to 1301. per annum T.—a miserable pittance, which lays them open to all kinds of bribery and corruption. This is very unfortunate. The Greeks cannot fail to despise the judicial authorities ; and what is still worse, the code of laws which the judges are appointed to exe cute are unsuited to the genius of the people. These evils are not counterbalanced by any respect for, or confidence in, the Ministry. No body of men could be regarded with more suspicion than are the principal personages in the confidence of the KING, and managing, or rather mis-managing, the affairs of his Government. OTIIO himself is greatly venerated, and would be still more so had be only the sagacity to perceive the impolicy of preferring the services of his Bavarian countrymen to his Greek subjects . . This is the great rock on which his power will split at last, unless some friendly intimation be given him of the dangerous course he is now pursuing. This conduct on the part of the KING is not simply impolitic,—it is grossly unjust towards the people of Greece, who de serve not to be treated as aliens, unworthy of confi dence in their own country. In the meantime, the po pulace are highly exasperated at the - treatment received by their ancient Chiefs, and those Chiefs have secret overtures made them by Russia, to the effect that if they have only spirit to resent their wrongs with sword in band, they may depend upon the assistance of the Emperor. This is the aspect which Greece presents at the com mencement of a new year ; and unfortunately there is no great reason to expect a material change in it before its termination. M. Monteil, author of the " Histoire des Francais des divers Etats," has lately discovered amongst some old p'- pers, a manuscript volume in the handwriting of Louis XIV. 'This manuscript, as well as a great number of others, is an nounced for sale under the title of " Traite de Materiaux Manuscrits de divers Genres d'Histoire." The amount of money expended by Mr. Heber al most exceeds belief, yet that he was no very diligent reader is very evident. At a late sale of a portion of his library, six immense packages of foreign books (chiefly modern) were opened, containing many thousand volumes, which had never been cut. The oldest ecclesiastic in all France died at Puy in the early part of this month ; his name was Dom. Dupont, for merly a Carthusian. He was born on the 28th of August, 1734, and was, consequently, mo years and five months old. A pamphlet of fifty pages, entitled " An Address from a Constitutionalist to the Constitutionalists," has created some sensation at Paris. The writer, who is said to be Louis Philippe himself, paraphrases, and explains in a manner ex tremely favourable to the direct action of the King in state affairs, the famous axiom—" The King reigns, and does not govern." This publication is ascribed by sonic persons to Count Rcederer, or M. Fain, the private Secretary of Louis Philippe. The centre part of the Ducal Palace at Brunswick, the building of which proceeds rapidly, is now completed up to the roof, and part of it will be ready for the Duke by autumn. When the two wings are erected this will be one of the largest and handsomest palaces in Germany. Duke William, who is a great lover of the chase, has lately received a present of 45 hounds from the King of England. We hear that two more of the Michigan Indians have been taken very ill at their lodgings in the Waterloo road, whence they were removed to an hospital on Saturday. It is not expected that either can survive. No doubt the change of food, and probably the use of spirituous liquors, have so altered their constitutional habits as to bring about a fatal derangement. TEIGNMOUTII.—WC regret' to see that such is the decadence of Theatricals in this place, which, in former days, with a fifth of its population, supported Fisher, and ushered the great Kean into the Metropolis, that the beautiful and splendid Circus and Theatre, erected by an individual gen tleman, for the benefit of the town, is to be sold, and the spot let for building.—Exeter Gazette. THE Wons'i.—Once on a time it happened that a poor wight married a shrew, who led him a piteous life ; she fell ill, the doctor was called in, and the anxious affec tionate husband inquired of him how his dear spouse was. Galen shook his head, and told him to prepare for the worst, " What !" said he, " is she likely to get over it ?" A labouring man, on Friday the 6th instant, disco vered in a field near Blackawton village, in this county, the body of a new born child, in a kettle, tied with a blue and white cloth, which had been murdered by a blow on its fore head.—The author of this cruel act has not yet been detected. —Western Times. A JUVENILE FLATTERER.-011 the morning of my birth-day I sent my son with his nurse, to call on the Princess Paulino (Napoleon's sister.) He was a very fine boy, and was a great favourite with the princess ; he was also very fond of her, and used to call her his .fentine princesse. " Why do you love me, Napoleon ?" said she to him one day. " Because you are pretty," replied the child, throwing his little wnite arms around her neck. This naive reply pleased the princess to the very heart ; and, in truth, her bee.r.ty must have been of a captivating kind, to have made so str o n g an impression on the c hild.—Mcmoirs of the Duchess d'Abrantes. dB- I , E T, le ( at t the le .. from , 111011 S " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMON-8, " I have directed the Estimates for the ensuing year to be prepared and to be laid before you without delay. " They have been framed with the strictest attcn- Lion to economy ; and, I have the satisfaction of acquainting yox that the total amount of the demands of the public service, will be less on the present than it has been on any former occasion, within our recent experience. " The satisfactory state of the Trade and Commerce of the country, and of the Public Revenue, fully justifies the expectation, that, notwithstanding the reductions in taxation, which were made in the last Session, and _ w hich, when they shall have taken full circa, will tend to diminish the existing Surplus of the Public Revenue, there w ill rbmain a sufficient Balance to meet the ad ditional Annual Charge, which will arise from providing the compensation granted by Parliament on account of the abolition of slavery throughout the British dominions. " I deeply lament that the Agricultural interest conti nues in a state of great depression. " I recommend . to your serious consideration whether it may not be in your power, after providing for the Exigencies of the Public Service, and consistently with the steadfast maintenance of the public credit, to devise a method for mitigating the pressure of those local charges, which bear heavily on the owners and occupi ers of land—and for distributing the burden of them more equally over other descriptions of property. " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " The information received from the Governors of my Colonies, together with the Acts passed, in execution of the law for the abolition of slavery, will be communicated to you. It is with much satis faction that I have observed the general concur rence of the Colonial Legislatures in giving effect to these important measure ; and notwithstanding the difficulties with which the subject is necessarily attended, I have seen no reason to abate my earnest hopes of a favourable issue. Under all circumstances, you may be assured of my anxious desire and unceasing efforts fully to realize the benevolent inten tions of Parliament. " There are many important subjects, some of which have already undergone partial discussion in Par liament the adjustment of which, at as early a period as is consistent with the mature considera tion of them, would be of great advantage to the the Public Interests. " Among the first in point of urgency, is the state of the Tithe Question in Ireland—and the means of effecting an equitable and final adjustment of it. " Measures will be proposed for your consideration, which will have for their respective objects—to promote the com mutation of tithe in England and Wales—to improve our civil jurisprudence, and the administration of jus tice in ecclesiastical causes, to make provision for the more effectual maintenance of ecclesiastical discipline, and to relieve those who dissent from the doctrines or dis cipline of the Church, from the necessity of celebrating the ceremony of marriare, according to its rites. " I have not yet received the Report from the Commis sioners appointed to inquire into the state of Municipal Corporations, but I have reason to believe that it will be made, and that I shall be enabled to communicate it to you, at an early period. " I have appointed a Commission for considering the state of the several dioceses in England and Wales, with reference to the amount of their revenues, and to the more equal dis tribution of the episcopal duties ; the state of the several Cathedral and Collegiate Churches, with a view to the suggestion of such measures as may render them most conclusive to the efficiency of the Established Church ; and for devising the best mode of providing for the cure o souls, with reference to the residencd of the Clergy in their respective Benefices. " The especial object which I have in view in the ap pointment of this Commission is, to extend more widely the means of Religious worship according to the Doc trines of the Established Church, and to confirm its hold upon the veneration and affections of my p eop l e . _ _ _ _ _ " I feel it also incumbent upon me to call your attention to the condition of the Church of Scotland, and to the means by which it may be enabled to increase the opportunities of religious worship, for the poorer classes of society, in that part of the United Kingdom. It has been my duty en this occasion to direct your consideration to various important matters connected with our domestic policy. " I rely with entire confidence on your willing co-operation in perfecting all such measures as may be calculated to re move just causes of complaint; and to promote the concord and happiness of my subjects. " I rely also, with equal confidence, on the caution and circumspection with which you will apply yourselves to the alteration of Laws, which affect my extensive and complicated interests, and are interwoven with ancient usages, to which the habits and feelings of my have conformed. people " I feel assured, that it will be our common object in supplying that which may be defective, or i n renovating that which may be impaired, to strengthen the foundations of those institutions in Church and state, which are the inheritance and birthright of my people ; and which, amidst all the vicissitudes of public affairs, have proved, under the blessing of ALMIGHTY GOD, the surest guarantees of their Liberties, their Rights, and their Religion." As soon as the Speech was delivered, the Commons withdrew, and his MAJESTY retired with the usual ceremonies, and returned to St. James's Palace by the same route.
