" The who new prudence from the wise acquire;
And one brave hero fans another's tire."
AWise General on the eve of battle makes a
proper &imposition of his forces beforehand, and does
not wait till the enemy has made an attack, and thus, by fore-
thought and due preparation, reasonably expects a victory ;
thus he who has a desire to attain a healthy, and consequently
happy *id age, does not indolently wait for the attack of the
enemy, which is sickness, but is constantly on his guard against
his insidious approaches, by paying proper attention to the
state of his health. Many would fain occasionally use medicine
to assist nature in her operations, but, like a mariner at sea
without his compass, knowing not where to steer, they first try
this and then that, and meet with nothing but disappoint-
ment ; to these how welcome must be the important fact, that

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH

The Members of both Houses of Parliament
will this day have the opportunity of hearing,
from their most gracious SOVEREION, the causes
that have led to their being called together at this
unusual period of the year, the character of the
business they will be required to transact, and
the position and prospects of the country gene-
rally. It is, indeed, an important period in the
national history one that requires from all
quarters a display of the highest and purest
patriotism—a firm and uncompromising determi-
nation to make every effort, and submit to every
sacrifice, in order to carry on the just and
righteous War in which we are engaged, until it
can be terminated by an honourable and enduring
peace, with ample guarantees for its permanency.
. "England expects that all her children will do
their duty ;" more especially those who, aban-
doning private stations, have sought the suffrages
of their fellow-subjects, and been elevated to the
envialele position of independent representatives
of independent constituencies—and she will not
be disappointed 1 A spirit has been evoked
throughout the length and breadth of the
land, that will bring forth demonstrations
adequate to the magnitude of the emergency.
There may of course be exceptions—such is in-
variably the case to every general rule—but they
will be few and insignificant, serving merely to
illustrate more powerfully the almost unparalleled
enthusiasm and unanimity of the people.
Her MAJESTY will declare that she has called
her Parliament togethei in order that, by their
assistance, she may be enabled to take the most
effectual measures for prosecuting the War with
the utmost -vigour and. effect ; and will express
her assurance that their assistance will be readily
given, and that Parliament will share her convic-
tion of the necessity of sparing no effort to aug-
ment our forces in the Crimea. These expressions
will be cheerfully and warmly responded to. They
emphatically express the views of the nation,
which, on this all-important matter, are so com-
pletely in accord with its Sovereign. But where
was Lord ABIRDBEN when these inspiriting terms
were taken into Ministerial consideration? His
disposition must be materially altered, or his in-
fluence greatly curtailed; when unable or unwilling
to introduce a little senile twaddle respecting the
advantages of peace. lie must have felt severely when
alluding to the adoption of " the most effectual
measures for prosecuting the war with the utmost
vigour and effect," and "the necessity of sparing
no effort to augment our forces in the Crimea."
The promises thus given on behalf of Ministers,
by their Royal Mistress are fair enough, and, if
honestly fulfilled, will do 'much to atone for pre-
vious negligence and indifference.
The compliment to our faithful and efficient
Allies, and t
armies of France and
acquired by the united
an
and England, has been pre-
eminently merited, and will doubtless be received
with cordial approval by men of all classes and
varieties of political opinion.
We allude in another part of our impression to
W the Austrian Alliance. We earnestly hope that
that
our forobodivnalgiagstmaeysloo m faruy
resultitl from
the
new
s and
the an-
ticipated ad
Treaty. We must, however, still doubt and fear.
It is of vital consequence that our representatives
should insist on full information, so that nothing
may be left in uncertainty, or affording the op-
portunity for future cavil or dispute. We do not
r 'Meant further negotiations, or the concocting of
• .67' • new articles to explain those already agreed to.
Atz • simple, and above-
sa, Every thing should
be plain,
tb.s,,ste board, and it is the bounden duty of honourable
gentlemen to see that it be so.
The equitable adjustment of all differences with
