This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they wets effected. The Bonus added to °lidos from March, 1834, to December 31, 1840, is as follows : _ _ _ Sum u Time Sum added Stun Time Sum added Assured. Assured. to Policy: Assured.

TA ONDON, EDINBTIRGII, and DUBLIN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 3, Charlotte.row, Mansion-house, London. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation; the great aim and objets having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SE CURITIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured, on the mutual principle, receives the whole of the mutual accu mulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is se cured, although the debtor should go teyond the limits of Europe. BY THE lIALF PREMIUM PLAN only one.half of the first seven years' premium is required, the other half being pay able at the eonvenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be continued for seven years at one.half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured, seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from affecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium applicable to an age seven years younger.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of 5.300,000, the Assured have the security of the Company's income of nearly Afil),OttO per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fun i in vested in Government and other available securitie., of considerably la ger a mount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to th, lowest scale compatible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, riving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

"We regard the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained In its pages."—Age and Argus. . _ ' The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are. we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

(From the Times) We understand that Sir George Clerk is to be the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and that Mr. Cardwell will succeed Sir George Clerk as Secretary to the Treasury in the Finance Department. We believe also that Lord Jocelyn will be appointed to office—we presume to the Lordship of the Admiralty, vacant by the nomination of Mr. Corry to be Secretary to that Board. Of the fact that Lord Jocelyn is destined for some offi cial situation, we hare no doubt. (From the Morning Post) The fact of Sir Thomas Fremantle's appointment to the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland is placed beyond doubt. The Hon. Baronet wai only prevented from kissing hands yesterday, on his appointment, by the ill ness of a member of his family. It is perfectly understood that the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert will succeed Sir Thomas Fremantle as Secretary at War ; that the Right Hon. Henry Thomas Corry will take the place of Mr. Herbert as Secretary to the Ad miralty ; and we believe we may now add that Lord Viscount Jocelyn will be appointed a Lord of the Admi ralty in the room of Mr. Corry. We have reason to believe that Sir George Clerk, Bart., will retire from office as one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, and that Mr. Cardwell will succeed to the lion. Baronet. Whether Sir George is des tined to preside over the Board of Customs on the an ticipated retirement of Mr. Dean, or to become Pay master of the FOrces, in the possible event of Sir Edward Knatchbull's resignation, we are not yet in a situation to state with certainty. A rumour prevails that the continued ill-health of the Earl of Ripon will, at no distant period, occasion another vacancy in the Cabinet. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—Monday an inquest was taken before Mr. Baker, at the Duke of Marlborough, Lower East Smithfield, on the body of John Nettleship, aged forty-eight, coal porter. It appeared that on Saturday morn igg last deceased was in front of the bar of the above public house in conversation with the barmaid, when, feeling unwell, he asked for threepenny worth of brandy. Having drank it, befell back and almost instantly expired. A surgeon was sent for, but all medical aid was unavailing. Verdict— 'Visitation of God. Deceased has left a widow and four children. Mr. Tufnell, M.P., has paired off with Sir C. Coote, until the end of the present month, "Another fine day for the Queen" was an observation often repeated yesterday, and it is not our fault that the remarkable change from the inclemency of the last few days compels us to reiterate the preface which has so often appeared before in our notices of her Majesty's progresses in the metropolis. Although the recent snow, thaw, and rain had left the parks and streets in a most uncomfortable state for pedestrians, and especially bye ganders, the route of the royal procession, from Buckingham Palace to the House of Lords, was lined by patient thousands long before her Majesty's departure from the Piilace. As soon as the carriage emerged from beneath the marble arch the Queen was greeted with the same loud and earnest demonstrations of loyalty and affection which have greeted her on all former occa sions. Her Majesty was accompanied by Prince Albert, the Master of the Horse, and the Mistress of the Robes. rn the park we noticed an occurrence which, to say the least, was of an unusual character, as foreigners rarely take any part in popular demonstrations towards the person of the sovereign in whose realms they hap pen to sojourn ; but, on this occasion, a group of foreigners joined lustily and conspicuously in the cheers of the multitude. They seemed to be French, but they used no viva, or continental term, and only cheered as well as they could in the English fashion. Whether this was really a concerted exhibition of feeling, or was merely accidental, it certainly seemed to be intended as an evidence that " tout le monde" is not with the war minority. On her Majesty's return she was everywhere met with the same manifestations of popularity. FIER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. Mr LOUDS AND GENTLEMEN, I rejoice that Jam enabled, on again meeting you in Parliament, to congratulate you on the improved condition of the country. Increased activity pervades almost every branch of manufacture. Trade and commerce have been ex tended at home and abroad, and among all classes of my people there is generally prevalent a spirit of loyalty and cheerful obedience to the law. I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers and States assurances of their friendly disposition. I have had much satisfaction in receiving at my Court the Sovereigns who in the course of the last year visited this country. The journey of the Emperor of Russia, under taken at a great sacrifice %f private convenience, was a proof of the friendship of his Imperial Majesty most acceptable to my feelings. The opportunity of personal intercourse thus afforded to me may, I hope, be the means of still further improving those amicable relations which have long existed between Great Britain and Russia. The visit of the King of the French was ren dered especially welcome to me, inasmuch as it had been needed by discussions which might have im paired the good understanding happily established between the two countries. I regard the maintenance of this good un derstanding as essential to the best interests of both ; and I rejoiced to witness that the senti ments so cordially expressed by all classes of my subjects on the occasion of his Majesty's visit were entirely in unison with my own. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, The estimates for the ensuing year have been prepared, and will forthwith be laid before you. The progress of steam navigation, and the demands for protection to the extended commerce of the coun try, will occasion an increase in the estimates con nected with the naval service. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I have observed with sincere satisfaction that the improvement which is manifest in other parts of the country has extended to Ireland. The political agitation and excitement, which I have had heretofore occasion to lament, appear to have gradually abated, and, as a natural result, pri vate capital has been more freely applied to useful public enterprises, undertaken through the friendly co-operation of individuals interested in the welfare of Ireland. I have carried into effect, in the spirit in which it was conceived, the Act for the more effectual applica tion of charitable donations and bequests. I recommend to your favourable consideration the policy of improving and extending the opportu nities for academical education in Ireland. The Report of the Commission appointed to in quire into the law and practice, in respect to the occupation of land, is nearly prepared, and shall be communicated to you i.nmediately after its pre sentation. The state of the law in regard to the privileges of the Bank of Ireland, and to other banking estab lishments in that country, and in Scotland, will, no doubt, occupy your attentim. The health of the inhabitants of large towns and populous districts in this part of the United Kingdom has been the subject of recent inquiry before a Com mission, the report of which shall be immediately laid before you. It will be highly gratifying to me if the informa tion and suggestions contained in that Report shall enable you to devise the means of promoting the health and comfort of the poorer classes of my sub jects. I congratulate you on the success of the mea sures which, three years since, were adopted by Parliament for the purpose of supplying the defi ciency in the Public Revenue, and arresting the accumulation of debt in the time of peace. The Act which was passed at that time for im posing a Tax upon Income will shortly expire. It will be for you in your wisdom to determine whether it may not be expcdient to continue its ope ration for a further period, and thus to obtain the means of adequately providing for the Public Service, and at the same time of making a:reduction in other taxation. Whatever may be the result of your delibera tions in this respect, I feel assured that it will be your determination to maiatain an amount of re venue amply sufficient to meet the necessary expendi ture of the country, and firmly to uphold that public credit which is indispensable to the national welfare. The prospect of continued peace, and the general state of domestic prosperity and tranquillity, afford a favourable opportunity for the consideration of the important matters to which I have directed your attention, and I commit them to your delibe ration with the earnest prayer that you may be enabled, under the superintending care and pro tection of Divine Providence, to strengthen the feel ings of mutual confidence and goodwill between different classes of my subjects, and to improve the condition of my people. PARLIAMENTARY ENTERTAIN MENTS. As is usual on the eve of the assembling of Parliament, the customary political dinners were given on Monday by the respective party leaders of both Houses. We subjoin the particulars regarding each of those meetings. The Duke of Wellington, as leader of the House of Lords, received a numerous party of the Conserva tive Peers at dinner in the evening at Apsley House. The mover and seconder of the Address (Marquis Camden and Lord Glenlyon) and the following noblemen were present:—The Dukes of Buccleuch, Beaufo-t, Montrose, Cleveland, and Rutland ; the Marquises of Salisbury and Exeter; the Earls of Aberdeen, Bathurst, Liverpool, Delawarr, Jersey, Wilton, Shaftesbury, Dalhousie, Had dington, Ellenborough, Beverly, B rown l ow, R oss l yn, Lonsdale, Eldon, Clare, W icklow, Verulam, and Hard wicke; Viscounts Stranfzford, Canterbury, Hawarden, and Canning; the Lord Chancellor, Lords Wharncliffe, Colchester, Redesdale, Abinger, De Ros, and Forester. Lord Stanley was obliged to send an excuse for his ab. sence, his Lordship labouring under an attack of gout. Covers were laid for upwards of forty guests. The Queen's Speech to be delivered to-day was read to the company by the Noble and Gallant Duke, previous to the party separating. The Right Hon. Sir R. Peel, Bart., gave the customary full-dress Parliamentary dinner in the evening at the family mansion in Whitehall-gardens, when a distinguished party of the supporters of the Government assembled. At the removal of the cloth, her Majesty's Speech, to be delivered by the Sovereign at the opening of Parliament to-day, was read to the guests by the Right Honourable Baronet. In addition to the Hon. F. Charteris and Mr. T. Baring, the mover and seconder of the Address, the Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the following Members of that branch of the Legislature were present:—The Right Hon. Sir J. Graham, the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord G. Somerset, the Earl of Lincoln, the Hon. S. Herbert, the Right lion. Sir T. Fremantle, Sir G. Clerk, Mr. Young, Mr. H.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (Fron• The Sun of Last Night.) There was a very fair demand for Cotton at Liverpocs yesterday, but holders met it freely at steady rate.

The mercantile and other principal interests of the City are most anxiously looking for the result of the proceedings in the Legislature this afternoon, and the debates on the Address, as it is considered by no means improbable that something may escape to indicate what are really the intentions of the Ministers on the subject of a further ameliorative alteration in the tariff. That present trading season opens well, and re quires but proper discretion and fostering to be exceed ingly prosperous, the following quotation from the monthly report of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury will go far to prove, though the New York paragraph is cer tainly a drawback : " The business transactions of the past month have been more extensive than at any former beginning of the year ; more than 300 public sales have been held in Co lonial and Foreign precincts, and by far the greater part actually sold. From the manufacturing districts the accounts continue favourable, and great activity pre va il s in almost every br anc h of industry. The Colonial wool sales, consisting of 15,000 bags, commenced on Thursday last, at the Hall of Commerce, and so far have gone off with a degree of spirit seldom witnessed, realising from 2d. to 21d., and in some instances 3d. per lb. advance on the previous sales, and the attendance of buyers is so great, that any of the old sale-rooms would be inade quate for little more than half the number. " Letters from New York, to the 14th ult., have been received, stating, the trade in Europe'an manufacture to be very dull, and prices ruinously low, in consequence of the scarcity of money, caused by the exportation of specie; which since the beginning of Oct. last amounts to above five million dollars. This shows that, notwithstanding the extensive shipments of cotton and other American products to Europe, the balance of trade has been against them ; and will, for a time,'render shipments to that country extremely hazardous." The public securities have to-day been quiet, as the jobbers seldom operate on the morning of the opening of Parliament. Consols have been 991 to 100* for pre sent transfer, and 100* i for account ; New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 104 to 1. Spanish Active Stock is 281 1, the Three per Cent. 411 /3, Portuguese Converted 59* to 584, and Mexican 36 to 361. Railway Shares are buoyant. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES.

BRUSSELS, FEB. I.—The Chamber of Representatives in its sitting to-day, after a short general discussion on the budget of the Department of the Interior, voted the first two articles of the budge 4 sad adjourned till Thurs day next. - The speech of M. Elsyde Burdinne, at the opening of the sitting, related especially to the agricultural situation of the country. The King arrived this afternoon about five o'clock from Ardenne. A letter from Vienna of the 24th of January, says that the Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, whose health had improved a little, has had a relapse, and that he is so seriously ill that fears arc entertained for his life. The latest accounts from St. Petersburgh, state that the Empress of Russia intends to visit Germany in the spring for the benefit of her health, which is very indif ferent. Prince Adam of Wurtemburg has obtained his discharge from the service of Russia, in which he held the rank of Adjutant-General and of Lieutenant- General. We have learnt a circumstance respecting the motion of M. Osy, which is not uninteresting. In the evening of the day before yesterday M. Osy hesitated, and thought of withdrawing his motion. If he persisted, it was because it was represented to him that a third trans formation would expose him, if not to ridicule, at,least to the accusation of groping in the dark, which would fall on the whole opposition.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS, SERGEANTS' INN, FEB. 3. ( Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMA.N.) DISCHARGE OF FOUR OF THE PRISONERS UPON A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS. Yesterday the application which was made to dis charge John Williams, John Poynter, John H ar di ng , and William Sillitoe, alias Salmon, four of the men who had been brought up in custody from Stafford Gaol, upon a writ of habeas corpus, on Saturday last, to be dis charged out of custody, on the ground of an informality in the warrant of commitment, and which was partly heard on Saturday before Mr. Justice Coleridge, the further consideration of which was adjourned, was again resumed before Mr. Justice Wightman. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Huddlestone appeared for the prisoners. The prisoners, previous to the strike, had been em ployed by the prosecutor, Joseph, Mitcheson, a person who is called in the county of Stafford, a " buckey," that is, a sort of middle man between the workmen and the proprietors of pits, who undertake to work certain portions of land and produce certain quantities of coal at a given price. It follows, then, that the object of these men is to obtain labour at the smallest possible rate ; and we are assured that it is to this pernicious system that the discontent that has lately prevailed amongst the pitmen is to be attributed. In the present case, the prisoners had been engaged by the prosecutor Mitcheson, to work at the Millfield• gate pit, belonging to Mr. Sparrow, at Langton, and in consequence of the strike the four prisoners were charged before Harvey, Esq., a magistrate for this county, by their em ployer Mitcheson, f)r absenting themselves from work, and were sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in Stafford gaol. Mr. Bodkin, in addition to the objections urged by him on Saturday before Mr. Justice Coleridge. to the that legality of the warrant of commitment, contended corpus : did the warrant, was bad, inasmuch as that warrant that the pri sonersthe return to the writ of habeas corp upon the face of the return and the _ at the time the oath was adminis tered were prese n t w hich not set appearfort h Mr. Justice Wightman, without calling upon the Learned Counsel to go into the other points, held the ob jection to be good and fatal to the conviction, and made have been n t hseet*pforrotrutor, which he contended ought to an order for the prisoners discharge out of custody. [The order was forwarded to the gaoler of Stafford gaol last night, and the prisoners will of course be at once liberated.] A LEVELLER.—A Correspondent informs us that a clergyman, not twenty miles from Truro, caused a new road to be made through the church-yard, which passed over the grave of a widow, whose remains had only been placed "in the narrow house" six weeks; and also over several more graves belonging to her family. Not con tented with this, his reverence gave orders to the sexton to level all the graves on each side of the path, because of their unsightly appearance. This the sexton refused to do; but the lady of his reverence, indignant at the refusal of the subordinate functionary, and determined not to be foiled, directed her gardener to level the graves, and sat by in her carriage superintending this work of dese cration. It is needless to add that the feelings of the living are severely wounchd by these proceedings.— West Briton. HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 4. Parliament was opened this day by the Queen in person, u ith all the usual state and pageantry customary on the occasion. Though the ceremony is of annual recurrence, yet it never fails to awaken an interest in the public, which springs principally from the loyalty and admiration of a people ever grati fied to see her Majesty in the enjoyment of good health and spirits, but is also increased on this great State occasion by a feeling of hope that looks for ward to the opening session as the period when the difficult questions that enter into what are called public affairs will be at least discussed, even if that discussion does not so frequently as could be wished result in the discovery cf a remedy for public evils. No less anxiety was manifested on this occasion to obtain admission to the body of the House of Peers and the galleries, by those who could secure a Lord Cham berlain's ticket, and to obtain a glimpse of her Mejesty on the line of tl:e procession, than by the far greater number who were compelled to content themselves with the more public part of the proceedings. This anxiety was much increased by the report that, on this occasion, the young Prince of Wales would accompany her Majesty, a rumour which; however, proved to lie unfounded. The preparations along the line of route of the royal procession were commenced at an early hour, and the streets filled with people rapidly as mid-day ap proached. Carriages commenced setting down company, principally ladies, soon after eleven o'c!ock. From this time there was a continual stream of arrivals, and by half-past twelve the side benches of the body of the House, the gallery to the right of the throng the strangers' and Members of the House of Commons' galleries, and the space below the bar, were crowded with elegantly-dressed ladies. There was scarcely a place preserved vacant, except the front Ministerial bench and the seat reserved fbr the Foreign Ambassadors. The throne and canopy formed a prominent object in the brilliant scene the interior of the House presented. A chair had been placed on each side, one for his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the other for the young Prince of Wales. At one o'clock the appearance of the House was cer tainly beautiful. On no former occasion was there awn) numerous attendance of ladies, and the whole area ore. sented to the eye a mass of gay and light colours, re lieved by, the scarlet fittings of the House, and varied by the waving plumes, wreaths, and jewels of the many splendid headdresses. Lord .Wharncliffe was the first member of the Go vernment who entered the House. He was followed by Earl Shaftesbury. The Judges entered the House soon after one o'clock. Among them we observed the Chief Baron Pollock, Bar, ne Alderson, Park, Patteson, Platt, Williams, Rolfe, Maule, Cresswell, and Chief Justice Tindal. Lc rd Campbell, on entering the House, entered into conversation with several of the Learned Judges. The Lord Chancellor arrived at half-past one ;he appeared to he is excellent health. His Lordship also conversed with the Learned Judges,who were grouped in front of the woolsack. The Duke of Wellington was not long after the Lord Chancellor ; he wore his Peer's robes ; he appeared to be in his usual health and spirits. At twenty minutes to two a flourish of trumpets an nounced the arrival of one of the Royal Family, and the Duke of Cambridge appeared followed by the Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. His Royal Highness wore the robes of a Peer; the young Duke was in uniform. By this time every scat was occupied ; the attendance of chiefs and members of the Diplomatic body was very numerous ; their place was quite crowded. The number of Peers present was not so great ; besides those we have already mentioned, were the Duke of Buceleuch, Lord Langdale, the Marquis of Camden, the Marquis of Win chester, and Lord Monteagle. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London were on the episcopal beech. At precisely twelve minutes after two the first gun, announcing the approach of her Majesty, was heard ; it was followed by the sound of the distant cheers of the multitude. The buzz of conversation instantly ceased, all became expectation, and every eye was turned towards the door. A few minutes elapsed, and the sound of trumpets was heard in the passages leading to the House, and the heralds entered, followed by the officers of the royal household and the functionaries of State. Her Majesty was immediately preceded by the Cap of Main tenance, the Duke of Beaufort bearing the Crown, the Duke of Wellington bearing the Sword of State, and the Lord Chancellor. Her Majesty entered the House at a quarter-past two and immediately took her seat on the throne. Her Majesty wore a splendid white satin dress, a diamond stomacher, arid diamond tiara ; Prince Albert accompanied her Mikjesty ; be wore a Field Marshal's uniform, and took his seat on the chair to the left of the throne. Her Majesty appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health. The Peers, Peeresses, and company had all risen on the entrance of her Majesty, and remained standing, till her Majesty, bowing, begged their Lordships to be seated. The House of Commons were then summoned, and shortly afterwards the Speaker, accompanied by several Members, appeared below the bar. The Lord Chancellor then presented the Speech to her Majesty, who immediately proceeded to read it, with that beautifully clear enunciation and expression, which are go characteristic of her Majesty. The Royal Speech will be found in another column. Her Majesty having concluded, the Speaker of the House of Commons bowed and left the bar with the Members. The royal procession then left the House in the same order in which it had entered, and their Lord ships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack shortly after half-past four. LORD ELLENBOROUGFL Earl Amherst and Earl Powis, preceded by the Duke of Norfolk (Earl Marshal) ; Sir Charles Wood, Garter King-at-Arms ; Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black Rod, and Mr. Pulman, Deputy Usher, introduced Lord Ellenborough, on his elevation to the dignity of an Earl. The patent was read by the clerk (Mr. Rose) at the table, and his Lordship was sworn, and took his seat upon the second (or Earl's) bench with the usual ceremonies. Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure. Their Lordships having re-assembled, The Duke of WELLINGTON laid a Bill upon the table, which was read a first time, but of which (amid the confusion) we did not hear the designation. The LORD CHANCELLOR, then informed their Lordships that her Majesty had come down to that House, and that she had been pleased to deliver her most gracious Speech, which he should read to them. —(The Lord Chancellor then read the Speech, which was also done immediately afterwards by the Clerk at the table.) THE ADDRESS. The Marquis of CAMDEN then rose and said : My Lords, in rising to move that your Lordships should agree that an humble Address be presented to her Majesty, in answer to her most gracious Speech, which we have this day heard from the Throne, I feel that I must commence by asking you to give me that kind attention, which during the few years that I have had the honour Jf sitting in this House, I have usually seen bestowed upon tlb Ise who, like myself, had never before addressed your Lordships.—(Hear, hear.) But, my Lords, I feel this difficulty considerably lightened by the reflection that I am addressing you upon an occasion when, with out any exaggerated statements of national prosperity, your Lordships may concur in expressing your gratifi cation at the state of the country, in its domestic con dition and foreign relations, as they have been repre sented in her Majesty's speech.—(Hear, hear.) I believe that in every branch of manufactures of this country there is an increasing activity. I believe that the home trade of this country is increasing in activity in almost every branch. I believe that the ' commerce of the country, which is carried through almost every part of the civilised globe, is largely and rapidly extending.—(Hear.) My Lords, I trust that we may hope that the gradual improvement in the manufactures of the country will be permanent. and will continue to increase. The next topic in her Majesty's speech is the satisfaction which she has felt from the visits of those Sovereigns whom she received at her court in the course of last year. My Lords, I think that we can most cordially concur with her Majesty in the gratification which she expresses at the visit which the Emperor of Russia paid to her Majesty, at great inconvenience, and at a time when private afflictions must have weighed heavily upon him. That showed the anxiety of the Emperor to manifest his feel her Majesty. My .ords, the ect co to untry, and to pay _ L a tribute most ancient date ; it is one of the o ld est which that a ok l f l g ia as n m e ti e to; aa o rn f dd R rte u hs s ips sia with this country is of the ords, power maintains in Europe ; and nothing could more tend to contribute to the permanence of this alliance, and, as her Majesty has stated in her speech, the future extension of this alliance, than the visit of the t that deriveer g reat M a jesty's j e more to yr,es this hl i llu s triou s satisfaction. steroiuonu coun tr y r c o n s ort. y A i And d visited beyfirst, Emperor to her Majesty. The speech also alluded to th e visits of other Sovereigns, from which her Maj es t y an d the country In let me refer to the visit of the King o f S axony, con bnelleftedeevreelligs my n h s e overeigns, the mor e it s resources are known, Lisouswrdt , hl with and the happiness of its people is witnessed, the greater will be its influence. I believe that, as in private life, so amongst those in the most exalted sta tion, the frequency of intercourse will lead to more lasting and more intimate friendships. My Lords, it will be in the recollection of your Lord ships that in her speech at the termination of the last session, her Majesty expressed her gratification at being enabled to state to this House and the country that the negotiations between this country and France had been brought to a satisfactory conclusion. That commu nication of her Majesty was very speedily followed by the visit of the King of the French ; and I am sure your Lordships will feel great gratification that his Majesty was received in this country by the people in the most gratifying manner. When we consider the various parts of the world in which the cooperation of France with this country is necessary for the maintenance of peace, when we consider how likely is the maintenance of peace to extend the commerce of this country and that intercourse which, from the facility of communica tion with France, must naturally follow the al liance between these two countries, his Majesty's late visit must be looked upon with peculiar gratification.n f the e I am sure that the reception which the King untry o must French met with from the people of se t nsible of the great talent, and p erseverance, fully convince him that the peoplea l a , r vhich has evincedi n preserving that peac e and amity which are so essential to the interests of both countries. The p and zeal, he at all times nex t topic of interest in her AfajcAy's speech relates to a subject which comes more parti cularly unda
