Both houses of the Reichsrath were dosed,.
by a speech read by the Archduke Ludwief ict
and of which the following is the full text :
" Honoured Members of the Reichsrath,—The
honourable duty of closing the present session of the
Reichsrath in the name of the Emperor has devolved
upon me. First of all I have to perform a pleasant
task, since I have to express to you that the Em-
peror thoroughly recognises the patriotic zeal and
the indefatigable activity which have been displayed
by you in the consideration of so many important
subjects. Thorocghly recognising the influence
which the revival of commercial intercourse and
trade has upon the general prosperity, the greater
part of your labours have been devoted to the dis-
cussion of measures tending to advance commercial
activity at home, and to obtain the necessary legal
protection and fostering support on the part of the
Government for undertakings which appeared to
promise practicable methods of advancing the inte-
rests of commerce and trade. These were the rea-
sons which, after careful examination, induced you
to accept the new commercial and customs treaty
with the States of the Zollverein, and also guided
the Emperorvetioi
powers
giving
and thea
m tot nint.taeul his
igmaterially add
of tde t sanction.o
on" With a vigorous and spirited extEnsion of the
industrial
thhee country,welfare
and with a quick and complete exercise of the ad-
vantages opened by the treaty, we may hope that
this
of the country.

architect had, under their instructions,
re
drawings and specifications in con-
nection with the works proposed first to he executed.
They had by their sub-committee conferred with the Com-
missioners of Sewers upon matters within their juris-
diction, and appreciating the importance of the work
intrusted to them, they believed it would be found that
they had to the fullest extent studied the public interests.
The works proposed to be submitted to tender were on the
southern side of the main line of the projected improve-
ment, and extended from Angel-court, Skinner-street, to
Bartlett's-buildings, comprising also the viaduct over Far-
ringdon street. Mr. Fry explained that the viaduct, the
design of which, by the city architect, had been universally
admired, would have three arches, the principal or centre
one 65ft. wide, extending over Farringdon-street, and
two side arches for foot passengers, each 21ft. Gin. wide.
The arches would bo supported on two piers, each 7ft.
wide. The viaduct would be 122 ft. long, with a carriage
way 50ft. wide, and two footways each 15ft. wide. In
other words, it would be 80ft. in width. There were to
be four staircases for foot passengers open to the sky, one
at each angle of the bridge, and each 12ft. wide, leading
from Farringdon-street to the viaduct. On either side
of the bridge there would be a few ornamental shops, which
might be expected to let for about £6OO a year in all. The
bridge would be constructed of iron, the piers of Portland
stone, and the plinth of granite, presenting in the whole a
very elegant and substantial appearance. It wasp roposed
to construct in connexion with the -viaduct two large vaults,
properly ventilated, for warehousing purposes, 500 ft. to-
gether in length, 40ft. wide, and 23ft. high, access to which
would be gained from Farringdon-street, Shoe-lane, and
other places. A provision in the Act also empowered the
Corporation to make subways for gas and water pipes.
They hoped, also, to construct the bridge in such a way as
to prevent any diversion of the traffic going east and west,
while it was being erected, which would have caused great
public inconvenience. By a slight departure from the line
originally contemplated, a view including about 400 ft more
of the embankment would be obtained from St. Sepulchre's
Church westwards, that would not otherwise have been
had. Mr. Fry also explained the various lateral approaches
to the embankment in contemplation, by an entirely new
street in one case, going obliquely from about Harp-alley,
in Farringdon-street, to Holborn, and by widening Fleet-
lane, running from Farringdon-street to the Old Bailey, by
15ft. in another. The rebuilding and improvement of Far-
ringdon-market were also contemplated.

" Through the praiseworthy advances mutually
made by Houses of the Reichsrath, numerous bills,
especially the Budget for 1865, have been passed to
meet the wants of the Administration.
4, Great credit is due to the efforts, made manifest
during the debates on the Budget, to observe eco-
nomy, even to the utmost limit, in applying the
means available to meet the State expenditure.
This economy could not be carried to a greater
extent without weakening the strength of the mon-
archy at home as well as its position abroad.
" The preservation of European peace, which
has always been the aim of the Emperor's Govern-
ment, will continue to be the object of its earnest
endeavour.

" The Emperor, in conjunction with his illustrious
ally the King of Prussia, will strive to conduct the
Schleswig-Holstein question to a solution com-
patible with the interests of entire Germany, and
with the position of Austria in the Germanic Con-
federation.

" Important reasons affecting the general interests
of the monarchy, and which upon that account have
found patriotic and eloquent expression in both
Houses of the Reichsrath, counsel the accelerated
convocation of the legal representatives of the peoples
in the eastern portions of the empire and bring with
them the necessity of postponing the discussion of
the Budget of 1866 in this session.
" Whatever may be the result of their patriotic
and intelligent labours, it cannot weaken the grand
idea that in a near approaching future a firm tie of
union between all the peoples of the empire may be
formed by the common treatment of the rights,
duties, and interests which are the same in all the
provinces. This idea is based upon the knowledge
of the vital principles of the monarchy. Is is rooted
in the noble sentiments of faithful affection and
devotion to the throne and the common fatherland.
When a hope rests upon such firm foundations, that
which now finds expression as a fervent wish my,
with God's help, soon be joyfully announced as an
accomplished fact."
