LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1847.

The annual ceremony of opening Parliament, and
the delivery of the Speech from the Throne, are
under the most ordinary circumstances matters which
peculiarly arouse the attention of every intelligent
mind in the empire. Even in the vague generalities
enunciated by the SOVEREIGN on the inauguration of
the sessional labours of the Legislature there are
always materials sufficiently suggestive for serious
reflection and definite anticipation. That the address
uttered by her MAJESTY should constitute the very
faintest indication of the intended policy of the Go-
vernment is what can alone be rationally expected.
The suppression of everything like dictation to
the hereditary and representative legislators,
the avoidance of anything like a partiality
for certain political creeds, the scrupulous and punc-
tilious restriction to those questions which are upper-
most in the popular mind, are invariably the prin-
cipal characteristics of the Speech from the Throne,
and they are the only characteristics consonant with
the fundamental principles of the Constitution.
While, however, it is impossible to deny that the
Speech from the Throne is marked by the most tan-
talizing indistinctness, as far as the, actual schemes of
the. Administration are concerned, it is equally
impossible to assert that it deals only
in unsatisfactory common-places. A reference
to the address delivered this day, in the House of
Lords, by our Gracious SOVEREIGN, and pub

HER MAJESTYS
SPEECH.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

It is with the deepest concern that, upon your

again assembling, I have to call your attention to

the dearth of provisions which prevails in Ireland

and in parts of Scotland.

In Ireland, especially, the loss of the usual food

of the people has been the cause of severe sufferings

of disease, and of greatly increased mortality among

the poorer classes. Outrages have become more

Frequent, chiefly directed against property ; and

;he transit of provisions has been rendered unsafe in

some parts of the country.

With a view to mitigate these evils, very large

numbers of men have been employed, and have

received wages, in pursuance of an Act passed in the

last session of Parliament. Some deviations from

'hat Act, which have been authorised by the Lord

Lieutenant of Ireland, in order to promote more

Useful employment, will, I trust, receive your sane

ion. Means have been taken to lessen the pressure

of want in districts which are most remote from the

ordinary sources of supply. Outrages have been

repressed, as far as it was possible, by the military

and police.

It is satisfactory to me to oil serve that in

many of the most distressed districts the patience

and resignation of the people hay e been most

exemplary.

The deficiency of the harvest fai France and

Germany, and other parts of Europe, has added to

he difficulty of obtaining adequate s {applies of pro

visions.

It will be your duty to considee what further

measures are required to alleviate th 4, existing dis

,ress. rrecommend to you to take in o your serious

consideration, whether by increasing for a limited

period, the facilities for importing; corn from

foreign countries, and by the admission of sugar

more freely into breweries and c 1 istilleries, the

supply of food mny be beneficially at igmented.

I have likewise to direct your earnest cons

deration to the permanent condition of Ireland. You

will perceive, in the absence of 'pojiti:.al excitement,

an opportunity for taking a dispassion ate survey of
the social evils which afflict that part of the United

Kingdom. Various measures will the laid before

you, which, if adopted by Parliament, may tend to

raise the great mass of the people in oomfort, to pro

mote agriculture, and to lessen the pressure of tha;

competition for the occnpation of la nd which has

been the fruitful source of crime and u fisery.

the tact that you have perfected a material which will obtain the
grateful acknowledgments of every artist. Indeed, Ido not hesi-
tate to pronounce the pencils made with your Patent Pure Plumbago
perfect. They are remarkably even In trial, free from grit, or dust,
firm in texture, and possess every degree of colour, from the archi-
