portant interests, I recommend you dispassionately
to consider how far it may be practicable equitably to
mitigate that injury, and to enable the industry of
the country to meet successfully that unrestricted
competition to which Parliament, in its wisdom, has
decided that it should be subjected.
" I trust that the general improvement, notwith-
standing manytobstacles, has extended to Ireland; and
while I rely with confidence on your aid, should it be
required, to restrain that unhappy spirit of insubordi-
nation and turbulence which produces many, and ag-
gravates all of the evils which afflict that portion of
my dominions, I recommend to you the adoption of
such a liberal and generous policy towards Ireland, as
may encourage and assist her to rally from the de-
pression in which she has been sunk by the sufferings
of late years.

" Anxious to promote the efficiency of every branch
of our National Church, I have thought fit to issue a
Commission to inquire and report to me bow far, i❑
their opinion, the Capitular Institutions of the coun-
try are capable of being made more effective for the
great objects of religious worship, religious educe-
cation, and ecclesiastical discipline.
"I have directed that the report of the Commis-
sioners for inquiring into the system of education
pursued at Oxford and Cambridge, should be com-
municated to the governing bodies of those Univer-
sities for their consideration, and I rely upon your
readiness to remove any legal difficulties which may
impede the desire of the Universities at large, or of
the several Colleges, to introduce such amendments
into their existing system as they may deem to be
more in accordance with the requirements of the pre-
sent time.

" The system of Secondary Punishments has use-
fully occupied the labours of successive Parliaments;
and I shall rejoice if you shall find it possible to de-
vise means by which, without giving encouragement
to crime, transportation to Van Diemen's Land may
at no distant period be altogether discontinued.

" The subject of Legal Reform continues to engage
my anxious attention. The Acts passed in the last
session of Parliament have been followed up by the
orders necessary- for putting them in operation ; in-
quiries are in progress, by my direction, with a view
of bringing into harmony the testamentary jurisdic-
tion of my several Courts ; and bills will be submitted
to you for effecting further improvements in the ad-
ministration of the law.

" To these, and other measures affecting the social
condition of the country, lam persuaded that you
will give your earnest and zealous attention ; and I
pray that by the blessing of Almighty God, your de.
liberations may be guided to the well-being and
happiness of my people."

After the Speech, her Majesty left the House and
returned to Buckingham Palace, in the same order in
which she arrived.

Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure.
