GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,

Her , Majesty commands us to convey to you
her warm acknowledgments for the liberal sup-
plies which you have granted for the service of
the present year, and for the provision which
you have made for those defences which are
essential for the security of her dockyards and
arsenals.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

Her Majesty commands us to express to you
the gratification and pride with which she has
witnessed the military efficiency which her.
Volunteer forces have already made, and which is
highly honourable to their spirit:and patriotism.
Her Majesty has given her cordial assent to
the act for amalgamating her local European
forces in India with her forces engaged for general

service.
Her Majesty trusts that the additional freedom
which you have given to commerce will lead to
fresh developments of productive industry.
Her Majesty has given her ready assent to
several measures of great public usefulness : the
act for regulating the relations between landlord
and tenant in Ireland will, Her Majesty trusts,
remove some fertile causes of disagreement.
The act for amending the law which regulates
the discipline of Her Majesty's navy has estab-
lished salutary rules for the administratiOn of
justice by courts martial, and for maintaining
good order in the naval service.
The act bearing upon endowed churches will
give means for a less expensive administration of
the property of charities, and for the speedy and
economical settlement of disputes affecting such
property, while by another act relief has been
afforded to Her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects
with regard to their charitable endowments.
Several. other acts have been passed for legal
reform, which must lead to the more satisfactory
administration of justice.
Her Majesty has observed with deep satisfac-
tion the spirit of loyalty, of order, and of
obedience to the law which prevails among her
subjects, both in the United Kingdom and in her
dominions beyond the sea ; and Her Majesty has
witnessed with heartfelt pleasure the warm and
affectionate reception given to H.R.H. the Prince
of Wales by her North American subjects.
You will be returning to your several counties
where you will have duties to perform scarcely
less important than those which have occupied
you during the session of Parliament, and Her
Majesty fervently prays that the blessing
Almighty God may attend your efforts, and guide
them to the attainment of the objects of her
constant solicitude--the welfare and the happi-
ness of her people.
The Lord Chancellor then declared the Parlia-
ment prorogued till Tuesday the Gth of November.
