LONDON,WEDNESDAY,SEPT. 6.
As far back as the memm7 of living newspaper
readers reaches, a general indication of the tenor of
the royal speech with which parliament was to be
opened or closed, has been allowed to ooze out, some-
times through the columns of several morning papers,
but always through the columns of the one more
especially devoted to the ministers for the time be-
ing. Yesterday the quidnunc. in club and coffee-
house, ransacked paper after paper for their accus-
tomed prelibation of royal eloquence ; but in vain.
There are only two ways of explaining this breach of
precedent. Either ministers were so ashamed of their
speech that not even the importunity of their
favourite journal could persuade them to subject it to
public criticism one moment before the inevit-
able hour; or so careless was the public of what
ministers might be pleased to put into the royal
mouth, that no one journal thought it worth
while to apply for a sketch of its con-
tents. Professional etiquette forbids further rm.
lations. The pubic may select the alternative solu-
tion of the question which appears most feasible
either is equally flattering to the authors of the royal
speech.
Yesterday witnessed the close of a session each as
the country has never seen before, and such assuredly
as it beano wish ever to see again. Parliament met
on the 23rd of November, 47,
adjournments, continued a,
ber, 1848. During this lapse
