" Mr. President and Honourable Gentlemen of the Legis.
lative Council:
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of As-
sembly:
" The loyalty for Which Nova Scotia has always been
conspicuous was never more cordially expressed than in
your joint Address, congratulating her Majesty on her ac-
cession to the throne, nor more pleasingly exhibited than
iu the rejoicings which took place in all parts of the pro-
vince on the occasion of her coronation. I could not open
the present Session in a more acceptable maneer than by
acquainting you that her Majesty received with gratitude
and satisfaction the assurance of your devoted attachment
to her person and government ; and that, in promoting the
interests of her faithful subjects in this colony, the Queen
will discharge one of the most grateful duties of the station
to which it has pleased Divine Providence to call her.
" I am happy to be able to congratulate you en the con-
tinued prosperity of the Province.
. "At the present moment we have ample cause to be
thankful to the Almighty for an abundant harvest, a suc-
cessful fishery, an improving commerce and revenue, and
an uninterrupted tranquillity.
" I lii the full enjoyment of this last and greatest blessing,
we cannot but deeply lament that our loyal brethren in the
Canadas are not equally forward ; and I am assurer , that
while admiring the noble stand which they have success-
fully made against the late nefarious attempts to sever their
connections v.ith the parent kingdom, .you will sincerely
feel for the sufferings of the families of those brave own
who have Fallen while-defending the authority of their So
vereilln, and their own dearest rights.
" You cannot have failed to observe with high satisfac-

tiun that every act of her Majesty's Government relating
to these colonies, have clearly indicated her firm resolve to
withstand all attempts to destroy or weaken her supremacy
over them.

" It affords some gratification that it is contemplated to
substitute steam packets for the sailing vessels now em-

ploycd i❑ the conveyance of the mails between Great
B.itain and Halifax. '
" To secure the attainment of al the advantages antici-
pated from this arrangement, the co-operation of the Le-
gislature of the several colonies to be benefited by it is es-
; and I obey her Majesty's command in submitting
matter to your consideration, and, in inviting you to
assist in improving the mail routes, and to offer such other
facilities as may depend on you, with a view to increased
expedition rt the communication between this place, New
-Brunswick, and Quebec. .

" Her Majesty trusts that the measure, involving, as it
does, considerable additional expenditure by the mother
country, will prove beneficial to the public, and give satis-
faction to the colonies.
" Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of As-
sembly—
" I have ordered the accounts of last year and the esti-
mates of the present to bo laid before you ' • and I have the
further reliance on your readiness to make due provision for
the several branches of the public service.
" Mr. Speaker,• and Gentlemen of the House of As-
sembly—
" Your Address, complaining of the habitual violation,
by American citizens, of the treaty subsisting between
Great Britain and the United States, on the subject
of the fisheries, has engaged the serious atten.tion of
her Majesty's Government; and you will be happy to
learn it has been determined, for the future, to station
an armed force on the coast of Nova Scotia, to cn-

force more strict observance of the provisions of the tre4ty
by the Americans, and that her Majesty's Minister at Wash-
ington has been instructed to invite the friendly co-opera-
tion of the Government of the United States for that
purpose.
" The mostattentive consideration has been given to your
several other addresses in the last Session, and it will be

my duty to lay before you the replies which her Majesty
has been graciously pleased to return to them."
LICERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FF.II. —The demand
for Cotton to-day has been to a moderate extent; sales
from 3 to 4,000 bags at firm prices.
THE FUNDS.

We have received official intelligence this morning that
the Belgian Chambers have been prorogued for one
month, not as was stated yesterday, dissolved. This, no
doubt, is to give time for reflection on the part of Minis-
ters before the sword is unsheathed, also to be in possession
of her Majesty's Speech ; it also appears that the
Austkian and Prussian Ambassadors do not approve
of a Polish General having a command in the Bel-
gian army, and threaten to leave, Brussels if he is
not discharged ; this is certainly a verylarbitrary measure.
