his friends and constituents had anticipated. His continued
indisposition has given rise to a rqpint that it is his intention
to resign. Whether this be so or not, we know that some
little political movements have taken place ; among the rest,

PROROGATION

OF
A:NE PINT.

THE KING'S SPEECH.

This being the day appointed for his MAJESTY'S
Prorogation of Parliament, in the course of the fore-
noon vast crowds began to assemble on the line of the
Royal procession, from St. James's Palace to the
House of Lords. A great number of Police were
stationed on the same line for the purpose of pre-
serving order. The day being fine, tAie acme WAS
very animated one.
About twelve o'clock the Peeresses began to arrive,
and take their seats on the Peers' Benches. The
Peers present all wore their "robes and orders. The
Gallery appropriated to strangers was crowded at an
early hour.
His MAJESTY left the Palace at a quarter past
two, accompanied by the usual Officers of State.
The line of route was kept by the 2nd Regiment of
Life Guards.

His MAJESTY was escorted by a party of the
Royal Horse Guards (Blue).
His MAJESTY appeared in excellent health and
spirits, and was frequently cheered by the people along
the line.'

His MAJESTY entered the House at a quarter to

hree o'clock.

The SPEAKER of the House of Commons was then
summoned, 'and shortly after appeared, accompanied
by several Members.
After the usual ceremonies His MAJESTY deli-
vered the following most gracious speech :
" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

" The numerous and important questions which have in
the present, as in the preceding years, been submitted
to your consideration, have imposed upon you the
necessity of extraordinary exertions, and it is with a deep
sense of the care and labour which you have bestowed upon
public business, that I at length close this protracted ses-
sion, and release you from your attendance.
" I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers assur-
ances of their friendly disposition. _ _ _

. .
" The negotiations on account of which the conferences in
London upon the affairs of the Low Countries were suspen-
ded, have not yet been brought to a close ; and I have
still to lament the continued postponement of a final set-
tlement between Holland and Belgium.
" On the other hand, I have derived the most sin-
cere and lively satisfaction from the termination of the
civil war which had so long distracted the king-
dom of Portugal, and I rejoice to think that
the treaty which the state of affairs in Spain and in
Portugal induced me to conclude with the King of the
French, the Queen Regent of Spain, and the Re-
gent of Portugal, and which has already been laid
before you contributed materially to produce this happy

result.
" Events have since occurred in Spain to disappoint for
a time the hopes of tranquillity in that country, which the
pacification of Portugal had inspired.
" To these events, so important to Great Britain, I
shall give my most serious attention in concert with
France, and with the other Powers, who are parties
to the treaty of the 22d of April, and the good understand-
ing which prevails between me and my alltes encourages
me to expect that our united endeavours will be attended
with success.
" The peace of Turkey remains undisturbed, and I
trust that no event will happen in that quarter to interrupt
the tranquillity of Europe.
" I have not failed to observe with approbation that you
have directed your attention to those domestic questions
which more immediately affect the general welfare of the
community, and I have had much satisfaction in sanctioning
your wise and benevolent intentions, by giving my assent
to the Act for the amendment and better administration
of the laws relating to the Poor in England and Wales.
It will be my duty to provide that the authority necessarily
vested m Commissioners nominated by the Crown be exer-
cised with temperance and caution, and I entertain a confi-
dent expectation that its prudent and judicious application
as well as the discreet enforcement of the other provisions
of the Act, will by degrees remedy the evils which at pre-
sent prevail, and whilst they elevate the character, will in-

crease the comforts and improve the condition of my people.
" The amendment of the law is one of your first anal
most important duties, and I rejoice to perceive that it has
occupied so much ofyour attention ; the establishment of a cen-
tral Court for the trial of offences in the metropolis and its
neighbourhood, will, I trust, improve the administration of
