THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.

We are indebted to our much-valued and enterprising
friend, Mr. Murdo Young, the spirited proprietor of The
London Sun, for an early edition of that journal, containing
the Queen's Speech at the opening of Parliament yesterday.
Besides the Speech from the Throne, the Third Edition of
The Sun of last night contains nearly nine columns of
Parliamentary debate ! This, indeed, is enterprise.—Hull
Advertiser.
We are indebted to the Proprietors of The Sun for an ex-
pressed copy of that paper, containing the important Par-
liamentary intelligence inserted in another colum.—Somerset
County Gazette.
" TIIE StiN."—We are indebted for the report of Sir Ro-
bert Peel's speech, in our columns, to an Express Edition of
The Sun of f hursday.—Leeds Mercury.

We gratefully acknowledge the kindness of the pro-
prietor of The Sun newspaper, in transmitting copies of his
paper, yesterday evening, by express, from which we tran-
scribe her Majesty's Speech. The Sun's energy on all similar
occasions merits the warmest acknowledgment.—Nottingham
Review.

Andinow, good reader, referring you to the Parliamentary
intelligence—for the rest we ask thee to join with us in cm-
dial thanks to Murdo Young, the brilliant Sun light of the
Press, for that Express Edition of his, which enables us to
convey to thee, within 18 or 19 hours after the speech of the
Minister was delivered, a summary of its contents 200 miles
from town.— Western Times.
(FROM A CORREM'ONDENT
DERBY, FRIDAYNIGICT.-Ido not f ecoltect any former
Queen's Speech causing so much anxiety, and exciting so
much attention as the one delivered on Thursday by our be-
loved Queen. "What will the Queen be made to say ?" was
in everybody's mouth, and great numbers of people waited
the arrival of Tie Sun express, on Thursday evening, with
the utmost impatience. To-day has been the usual weekly
market. The contents of the Speech, indicating, as they do,
the advent of a large measure of free trade, have been read
with great satisfaction by everybody who is not a monopolist,
and many farmers exclaim, " Well, better have it settled at
once than go on by driblets." The Tory monopolist squires
are perfectly rampant. They abuse Peel unmercifully, allege
that ho has betrayed them, and would infinitely prefer an
open foe to an enemy, like Peel, in the garb of a professed
"friend." They think there will be a light for it yet on the
hustings, and hope still to defeat his measure, be it what it
may. The general—all but universal—hope is, that Peel's
measure will be at once comprehensive and final; and that it
will be clogged by no unseemly provisions. Should this hope be
disappointed, the working classes will meet en masse, and
speak in terms not to he misunderstood. Ali parties concur
that a " crisis" has arrived of no trifling character, and the
, free-traders here are resolved to persevere with determination
and rigour. " Hurrah for free trade !"

We are desired to correct an account, which first ap-
peared in a country paper, of a late melancholy event near
Highworth, Wilts. The reverend gentleman who fell from
his horse and expired was the Rev. G. Thomas, of Bishops-
town, near Swindon, and not the Rev. Vaughan Thomas, of
Oxford.
ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING AT INVERURY.—On
Thursday evening, a public meeting was held in the Town
Hall, Inverury, for the purpose of taking into consideration
the evil tendencies of the corn-laws. Mr. Gordon of the
Commercial Inn, in the chair. Speeches were delivered by
the chairman, Messrs. John Innes, Cock, Roy, and others.
The audience was numerous and respectable. Resolutions
condemnatory of the existing corn-laws were passed without
a disentient voice ; and a memorial to both Houses of Par-
liament is now in the course of signature in the district.—
North of Scotland Gazette.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.--The rumour of the in-
tention of converting the pit of her Majesty's Theatre into
stalls, was never even contemplated ; and it arose from several
hundred more applications having been made for stalls than
the number at present existing.
The composer Verdi is expected in town this season,
having been retained by Mr. Lumley to produce a new opera
at her Majesty's Theatre.
