LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 6, 1881. What was not said in the Royal Speech yester day must certainly be acknowledged to have been far more remarkable than what was said in it. It was more than the statue of BRUTUS that was ab sent from the procession. Ministers who had promised so largely in the Speech from the Throne last year, and who had found themselves compelled before the close of that really ignominious session to eliminate so many of their vaunted measures from their used-up programme—little bills and big bills dropped, and massacred by being lopped to death piecemeal—Ministers having only too keen a remembrance of the evil consequences of their setting forth thus in 1860 with a magnificent catalogue of projected improvements, appear to have evidenced a wholesome dread now at the com mencement of 1861 of making again any such egregious exhibition of themselves, any such ex hibition at once of their eredulity and of their in capacity. Hence their whole political syllabus for the new session may be condensed under two heads—first of all, under the head of certain beneficent and highly philanthropic but vague and indistinct aspirations for the growth of prosperity at home, and the general advance of the interests of the human race abroad ; and, secondly, under one comprehensive head, that, namely, under which the few measures which are really defined, and announced as forthcoming from the partrurient mountain of the Coalition Government are enume rated. Of the former of these two divisions of the Speech from the Throne, relating to the future, namely, that articulating merely the beneficent and shadowy aspirations of those dreamers of halcyon dreams, the Sixteen members of the Ad ministration, we need say nothing—for simple hopes, yearnings, or aspirations like these, even when they come from men high in position, like Her MAJESTY'S Ministers, are of but little value or account indeed, remembering how even despotic princes, men in supreme and absolute authority, are but as straws floating upon that great tide of events, the hea'vings of which are regulated by a force far beyond human ken and immeasurably removed from the grasp of human knowledge. It were altogether idle therefore and boot less to pause for another instant for the pur- Pose of weighing in the balance the value of what is infinitessimal and imponderable— , these indefinite and indeterminate little Minis tArial aspirations. Rather let us now touch, however slightly or passingly, upon what, small thoughlt is when contrasted with the national anticipations, is at any Y.,t e in some way tangible, in some way appreciable and e , mprehensible. Let us examine for a moment the one sole paragraph in the Speech from the Throne particularising the definite designs and intentions entertained for the new Parliamentary Session by her MAJESTY'S Go vernment. It is in this one isolated passage in this solitary sentence in the Royal Address that the political future is in any way sketched in the most faint and careless outline. " Measures," says this paragraph, " will t le laid before you for, the con solidation of important parts of the criminal la ; for the improvement of the law of bankruptcy and insolvency ; for rendering more easy the transfer of land; for establishing a uniform system of rating in England and Wales; and for several other pur poses of public usefulness." There are " pippins and cheese"to come, therefore, if not "cakes and ale," before the Parliamentary banquet shall have been brought to its conclusion. There are law reforms and parochial improvements, and " several other purposes of public usefulness"—sufficiently vague that, and sufficiently ungrammatical ! But that is all. For the " transfer of land " measure can hardly be laid claim to by the present Cabinet, see ing that it was originally introduced into the House of Commons by Sir HUGH CAIRNS, the gifted Soli citor-General under Lord DER➢Y's Administration. There are law reforms, then, and parochial reforms, and—" several other purposes of public usefulness" — and that is all. When Ministers have said that — they have said everything. They have, in those few words, come to the end of their tether. It is not simply, " 0 most lame and impotent con clusion !" But it is, worse still, " 0 most lame and impotent commencement!" Not a whisper about a Reform Bill—about a Bill either large or small for the revision or the reorganisation of Parliament ! Not one word, not one single allusion of any kind to the Reform Question, although it was notori ously and ever memorably upon that very Question that the present Ministers were put into power — it was upon that identical question of Reform, as the whole country knows, as the country will not fail to remember in the fulness of time, it was upon that question, and upon no other, that the Ministers now in office ejected their predecessors. Never has the fable of the Dog in the Manger been so meanly or more signally illustrated than it has been by Lord JOHN in regard to the question of Parliamentary Reform. The Resolutions—the disgraceful and discreditable Resolutions of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in re the Reform Bill of Mr. DISRAELI—were denounced at the time of their introduction by Sir HUGH CAIRNS as nothing less paltry of their kind than a political " Dodge." The taunt is at this moment completely and glaringly justified. The notorious Resolutions referred to have proved by this time to have been so entirely and successfully a dodge, and nothing less shabby than a dodge, that the hon. and learned gentleman, the member for the borough of Southampton (Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR) can say now, and say with perfect truth, that he and the other independent members who were deluded into voting with him in carrying those shameful Resolutions, find at length that upon the question involved in those resolutions they have been literally and deliberately "sold" by her MAJESTY'S Government. It was what we foresaw all along, with anguish, would be the result of that factious movement which sacrificed a great principle, and what might have been ren dered a grand and comprehensive embodiment of it, to the meanest and paltriest party considerations. Ministers may hug themselves with an exultant sense that the amendment relating to Reform— the amendment upon the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne the amendment moved by the new member for Brighton (Mr. WHITE), and seconded by the hon. and learned gentleman the Member for Southampton already mentioned—Ministers may plume themselves upon having rejected that amendment by a majority of f 29, as opposed to a minority of 46 ; but at least the finger of acorn has been distinctly pointed at their disgraceful trickery! And if nothing else has been done, Mr. BRIGHT has put the matter thus plainly, observing—" The noble lord obtained a dissolution of Parliament, and a majority in favour of the pro position which he put forward and brought before the house, and there was no division upon his bill last year, and yet he came down to the House at the opening of this session—in which there would be almost nothing to do—and refused to do that for which the Government had been placed on the Treasury benches." There is no getting over the petty shuffling of all this—it is upon record— there are the big bouncing promises, and here is the wretched little starveling non-fulfilment ! Yet cannot Ministers but allow that they have been upon this first night of the Session, upon this very question of Reform, that they have been met only by the Opposition with a display of the utmost magnanimity. What an opportunity was there not offered last night to a great satirist in debate like Mr. DISRAELI ! Yet, instead of squandering sarcasms upon the head of the arch-offender and his colleagues, what said Mr. DISRAELI upon the subject of Reform yesterday ? " Why, said he, " I myself am not displeased at the omission of that subject from the speeeh of her most gracious MAJESTY. I hardly know anything more calcu lated to impede a measure for the reform or recon struction of this house than to bring it forward at a time when there is no probability of its being ac cepted and carried. I think that the Minister would have incurred the gravest responsibility by bringing forward the subject merely from an erro neous interpretation of a sense of honour to a party which was not unanimous in supporting his origi nal proposal." And so the matter has dropped for yet another year. And so, after all their grand flourish of ,trumpets last year, Ministers begin the session of 1861 with " bated breath and whispered humbleness." It is without doubt exemplary. But is it indicative of a Strong Government ? We cannot congratulate the Tories on the strategical skill with which they have opened the session. They have attacked their opponents on what, with all its defects, will certainly prove their strongest side. If there be one thing which more than another keeps the present Cabinet in office, it is its foreign policy. In Law Reform the Conservatives would certainly do as much, and as well as the Liberals ; in Parliamentary Reform the two parties have proved themselves not to have any difference, which the public can discern. It is just the difference between the MALMESBURY and the RUSSELL policy abroad, that makes the country unwilling to turn out the present Government. If what is said often be true, and there is, we believe, some truth in it, we sup pose one main reason for indifference to Parliamen tary Reform is the greater interest taken in the struggles of foreign peoples to get parliaments at all ; and if there can be no doubt of the mind of Britain respecting the claims:of struggling peoples, not of torturing despots, on our moral support, then was it surely political suicide to open the Ses sion by displaying to the public those leanings to hereditary despots, of which the Tories are more than suspected. As independent Liberals, were Italy and Hun gary well out of their difficulties, and Austria cut down to her own proper Archduchy, including, perhaps a few small adjacent territories she might have learned to treat decently, we would hardly give a toss of a penny fur the difference between the two leaders, PALMERSTON and DERBY. Yet Lord DERBY and Mr. DISRAELI took the opportunity of the first night of the ses sion to show the country that they were in feeling, at least, at variance with it on the question of ,the hour. The Emperors of FRANCE and AUSTRIA, therefore, bid fair to prolong the reign of Lord P4 LmEltsTort. When Lord DERBY Points, how ever to the conduct of the Emperor of the FRENCH he will have both Lord PALMERSTON and all of us 'with him. We are pleased that France and her Ruler should see that her hostile preparations, while her speech is fair, do not fail to awaken in this country appropriate sentiments. It is undeniatile that France is running a naval race with us, a.nd that it cannot be for purposes of defence, as our naval preparations are, but must contemplate possible and ultimate aggression. We cordially adopt lord DERBY'S language on this subject, when he says that "unquestionably it is a state of doubt,. and apprehension, and uncertainty that places on the people of this country an amount of taxation. which is absolutely unprecedented in time or peace, which is perfectly intolerable, and IA hich. is only made more intolerable by the financial freaks of the Chancellor of the Exqhequer." With what good reason these remarks, were made is apparent enough from those of a member on the opposite side of the House of Commons, Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR. " As to the necessity of economy in our expenditure, he quite concurred with his hon. friend, especially when the Chancellor of the Ex chequer told film they would require £76,400,000 this year, and out of that £31,000,000 would be devoted to the interest on war loans and the naval and military expenses of the year. Sixty one millions exceeded by five millions all our exports in linen, cotton, and woollen—it was more than double the amount of the gross rental on all the railways, and exceeded all the landed rental in the kingdom. Further, it surpassed by many millions the gross rental of all the factories and inhabited houses in the country. La st year the expenditure had exceeded the income by £10,300,000." The country has a right to expect from the Foreign Secretary some explanation of ' our relations with a Government which is the sole cause of all this vast expenditure. We do not see that Lord GAVIN TULE, in the Upper House, gave any answer to these grave questions of Lord DERBY ; any oth er topic seemed to be more agreeable —nor, when we look to the speech of the Foreign Secretary himself are we much better off. In regard to Italy the noble lord had of course quite plain sailing—he had indeed a preference for two kingdoms there, though, if we remember rightly, Lord PALMERSTON once said that he preferred but one, still Lord JOHN had acted, written, and spoken most decidedly on the principle that the Italians should settle all that themselves, no one intervening. He acknowledged the irregularity of some of the King of SAR DINIA'S movements, but could easily justify v his second despatch intended to give him the benefit of our moral influence against the discouragement of all the despotic courts of Europe—all this was easy and frank work, but when it came to the Emperor of the FRENCH, again how measured and careful he has to be. " I will say at once," are the words of his lordship, " in one word, that we are not now divided upon any great question, such as the war of 1793, or the war of 1804. On a main principle of policy, then, we are entirely agreed with the Emperor of the FRENCH. We are at the same time in close alliance and intimacy with the other great Powers of Europe, and if there were any other question on which it should appear to us that France was in the wrong, or was acting in that spirit of encroachment which has sometimes actuated a great military nation, then we should form an alliance with them to combat her designs." This certainly is not assuring language. If the hope of good understanding with France only rests on agreement on questions of minor account than those which were at the bottom of the last great wars, it is obvious we are to infer that all is not very smooth in its working. If, again, we are in close alliance and intimacy with other Powers, and a main hope of peace is that they will help us to counterwork the EMPEROR, this is but poor consolation for the friends of peace and of real har mony between the two countries. If LOUIS NAPO LEON'S speech means that France holds herself ready to go to war for causes, of whose justice she will be judge, Lord JouN's seems to reply—We, for our part, have agreed for help to keep you in check, if you should think causes just which we and our " close and intimate" allies think unjust. Lord JoHN's words will keep up the French army and navy, which, however, would have been kept up and increased without them. Altogether we see little chance of secure peace and moderate taxa tion till the great European nuisance is abated. The feeling will certainly arise—better fight it out and have done with it than pay year after year for such a tremendously costly peace. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CITI MERCHANT. Yesterday Mr. Robert North, the principal in the firm of North and Nicholl, Russia brokers, Bishopsgate-street, was placed before Alderman Rose, at the Mansion-house, charged with stealing 343 casks of tallow, value £8,708 Is. 6d., the property of Messrs. Hubbard. The warrant for the apprehension of the defendant was issued last week on the necessary sworn information, but on the legal advisers of Mr. North becoming aware of the fact, they gave notice that Mr. North would attend at the Mansion-house On the day named to meet the charge. The accusation, according to the statement of Mr. Muller, the manager of the Messrs. Hubbard, was that h e (defendant) about six weeks ago, purchased the tallow on the usual terms. Payment was applied for several times, when, on the 29th of last month, defendant gave a cheque to Muller, of the Union Bank, for £8,708 is. 6d., the price of the tallow, but next day it was returned to the Messrs. Hub bard, through the clearing house, unpaid. The balance the defendant had at the Union Bank on the presentation of the cheque amounted to about £B. A remand was applied for and granted. The defendant's bail was fixed at two sureties for £4,000 each. Last evening Mr. Sims Reeves resumed his pro fessionalicluties at her Majest'ys Theatre as Robin Hood in Mr. Macfarren's new opera, and renewed all the triumphs of previous parformaneaa before a densely-crowded audienco, whose constant applause and frequent " recalls" enthusiastically attested their aporeciation of the genius of our celebrated English tenor. NEW THEATRE-ROTAL ADELPHI.—Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Princess Alice, and suite, honoured the performances at this theatre with their presence last evening. _ M. Guizot has arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, from Paris, on a visit to General and Madame Fave. DEATH OF MR. GRANVILLE E. HARCOURT VER NON.—We regret to announce the premature death of Mr. G. E. Harcourt Vernon, late M.P. for Newark, who died on Friday night at the Marquis of Ailesbury's seat, Tot tenham-park, near Marlborough, from rheumatic fever. The lamented gentleman was the eldest son of Mr. Gran ville Harcourt Vernon, son of the late Archbishop of York, and Chancellor Gf the Province of York, and was born Nov. 23, 1816. It is stated that Messrs. Adami and Lemmi are now in negotiation with the Sardinian Government regarding the South Italian Railways of which they have the concession, and that the preliminary arrangements have been already wade. SHOCKING CATASTROPHE AT HULL.—THREE LIVES LOST.—On Sunday afternoon last six men, named James Judge, (a boatman), George Bragg, Edward Down ing, John H o d gson' Edward Haut, and Robert Wilson, all engineers, embarked in a small boat from the pier at Hull, and went down the Humber as far as Paul, at which place they landed and got some drink, re-em barking for the purpose of returning to Hull about six o'clock. On leaving Paul there was a very strong Wind, and though for some time the men managed to man the boat safely, by the time they reached nearly to the Ir co r i thea - p p i r a , distance th e wind h of ab a o d u t half-a-mile n l from creased force, and d esp i te the exertions of the ' men, the boat was driven ashore. Judge, the man who was superintending the boat, got out and waded through the water to the shore, followed by Bragg and Downing. Hodgson, Wilson, and Hunt remained in the boat. Though they were frequently told by Judge to leave it and come ashore they did not do so, and Judge and the other two left them in the boat. Strange to say that none of the parties gave information of the perilous position of their comrades with a view to their rescue, and a little a ft er seven o'clock yesterday morning the body of Hodgson was picked up on the beach near to Martieet , about three mile s from the place where the boat was left. The b oa t was found on the beach. The bodies of the other two m en have not been found. THE CHARTER-HOUSE.—The Archbishop of York was on Monday elected a governor of the Charter-house, iu the room of the late Earl of Aberdeen. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The inquiry for accommodation continues active, and during the last few days the rates of discount have exhibited greater firmness—seven per cent. now being the minimum quotation in the general market, as well as at the Bank of England. The frequent recurrence of failures has induced the banks and discount houses to pro ceed very cautiously, and bills, unless of a superior description, are less easily negotiated than they were a week ago. A call of £2 per share, amounting to £lBO,OOO became due to-day on the Bahia and San Francisco Railway Shares. Only a very small amount of business wits recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were unaltered. The sales were 3,000 bales. There has been a steady market to-day for Public Securities, but business has continued very quiet, and the preliminary arrangements for the liquida tion occupies the attention of the dealers.

CoLEBR 0 OKE brought up the report on the Address. Mr. SLANEY, as having been present in A.merica while the Prince of Wales was there, congratulated the house on the friendly feeling which had been exhibited, and expressed a hope that the differences existing there would be healed. _ _ _ Admiral CALCOTT was glad to find that the services of the army and navy were recognised in the Speech, and hoped there would be no undue reduction in the nary. He passed a high eulogium on the character of the late Sir Charles Napier. INDIA. Mr. CR AWFORD asked the Secretary of State in- India whether the necessity for raising a loan of £3,0(0,000 in London for the service of the government of India is owing to circumstances connected only with railway receipts, or whether it arises from falling off of the available sources of income or increase of expenditure in India. Sir C. WOOD said that he was very happy to le able to give the house a satisfactory explanation on this subject. According to an arrangement that had been mace, it was not necessary that there should be remittances ether from this country or from India, for the money that should have been forwarded to this country from the Indiat revenue was applied to the purposes of railways in that country. £4,500,000 last year had been expended on rtilways in India, and the expenditure this year would be 46,000,000, instead of £4,750,000, the original estimate. He was compelled to use the powers which the house hat conferred on him to raise a loan to meet the deficiency between the actual and the estimated cost of Indian railways for the current year. The right hon. baronet enterec into some further details, and expressed his conviction that unless some unforeseen event occurred next year, the Indian re venue and expenditure would balance each. lie concluded by stating that the loan was necessitated solely by the re quirements of the railways in India, and not from any failure of the sources of revenue in that country In reply to some questions from Mr. VANSITTART, Sir C. WOOD repeated the substance of the preceding statement. FRAUDULENT TRADE NARKS. • In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE and Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. M. GI BSON said that a bill would be introduced into that house or the House of Lords on this subject. FOREIGN AFFAIRS.—DESPATCHES OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. - - Mr. S. FITZGERALD rose to call for some explanation from the noble lord (Russell) more satisfactory than he had already given of the course he had pursue in reference to his foreign policy, as he considered the expla nation of the noble lord on this subject was very adroit but most evasive. He was an advocate for non-intervention, and therefore the announcement made last year by the Govern ment of a policy of that character had the approbation ofhifn self and the party with whom he acted. Ile denied, however, that the policy pursued by the noble lordwas in eonfotmity with the principle of non-intervention, and illustrate) this assertion by reference to the despatches of the noble Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, of August and October last, par ticularly the latter, dated 27th of the south. He .eonsi dered that the sentiments of the latter dceument calorlated to promote sedition and insurcection:on th e Continen, and criticised at considerable length the general foreignpoiicy of the Government. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the des)atch of the 27th October had been entirely misunderstood and mitrepre seated by the hon. member (Mr. S. Fitzgerald). HoJenied that the definition given by the hon. member of interven tion as excluding all interference whatever in foreign affairs was just, and he referred to the assistance rendered to Greece against the Ottoman State, to Belgium in the revolt from the Government of the Low Countries, as well other instances in ancient and modern his , ory to show tint there were cases where interference was justifiable. The despatch which had been so severely criticised, commenced wth ask ing two questions ; the first, whether the peiple of Italy were justified in calling on the King of Sar dinia to assist them in chancing a form of Government with which they were dissatisfied, and whether thst sore reign was justified in rendering such assistance. These questions were calmly and dispassionately argued in the despatch of last October. RovVever, }o was prepared to re-argue the question. The nale lord then adverted to the fact of an Austrian army, by tie con sent of the Powers of Europe, being , sent itto the kingdom of Naples in 1821 when the people were dis satisfied, and when at the time they were under the dominion of a Bombs as an illustration of the rips of foreign intervention under particular circumstance* and he justified the conduct of the Neapolitans in their desire to be placed under the Government if a King who, whatever might be his other defects, had been faithful to his own people, who had broken no promise he had made, and violated no oats he had taken. (Hear, hear.) He also vindicated the part taken by the Government. [LEFT SPEAXING. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share ) Railways. I p aid.
