should, for a brief period, be confined to carrying
on the main line, which is to connect the kindred
nations (Sweden and Norway) more closely to-
gether.

Bills for several legislative works of general im-
portance—as, for instance, the revision of the act
of union with Norway, the redemption of the land
tax, the settlement of new war right arrangements,
the regulation of the pension system, the keeping
the books of the public debt, and the improvement
of the water supply—are in course of preparation.
The short period that has elapsed since the last
meeting of the Diet, has neither sufficed to allow of
these bills being completed, nor has it permitted so
many new wants to come to light as was formerly
the case in the more lengthened period (three years)
between the respective Diets. I eonsider it an ad-
vantage that at your first meeting I need not ask
your attention to so large a number of measures as
to prevent the settlement of their labours under the
new forms, together with the consideration of other
questions you may think more pressing, being com-
pleted within the time assigned by the Constitution,
and which henceforth, as the Diet will meet yearly,
need only be exceeded in extraordinary cases.
" Our sources of existence agriculture and
mining —have long had to contend with unfavourable
circumstances, and almost all branches of industry
have suffered from theinjuriousinfluence of a widely
spread monetary crisis with the resulting shocks to
credit. A better condition of affairs is, however,
already springing up, and the most efficient help
against past difficulties depends less upon measures
of the state than upon private foresight.
" I have waited joyfully for the day when I
should see you assembled around me. While I
reckon with confidence upon your wise co-operation
in all matters affecting the advancement of the com-
mon weal, I trust you may receive the reward of
your counsels in being counted by a grateful coun-
try among those who have really promoted her
honour and prosperity.
" I now declare this Diet opened, and remain
well affected in all Royal grace and bounty towards
all of you collectively and each individually here
present."

The Forthcoming Reform Demonstration.

Last evening a special meeting of the members of
the Working Men's Association was held in the large
hall of the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie-street, Fleet-
street. Mr. G. Potter in the chair, to consider an in-
vitation from the Reform League to take part in the
forthcoming Reform demonstration on the 11th
proximo, and the propriety of calling a Trades'
Delegate Conference to take into consideration the
late decision in the Court of Queen's Bench affect-
ing the Trades' Unions.
The CHAIRMAN said, with reference to the in-
vitation from the Reform League, he thought there
was the utmost necessity for united action among
all real Reformers, and he thought the association
should co-operate with the League in making
the demonstration as effective as possible. The
association, however, was peculiarly situated. The
great majority of the members were members
of trade societies who would probably take part in
the demonstration, and who would prefer going with
their trades. Possibly the case might be met by the
association appointing a deputation to attend the
demonstration with its banners, and those indivi-
dual members not attached to any trade could unite
and attend with the deputation.
After some considerable discussion the following
resolution was adopted by a large majority :
Moved by Mr. BOLT, shipwright, and seconded
by Mr. J ENKINS, organbnilder—" That six mem-
bers of the executive committee of the association
attend the demonstration of the Reform League on
the 11th Feb. next, as a deputation with the ban-
ner of the association, and that those members not
attached to any trade taking part in the demonstra-
tion, be recommended to join the deputation."
Messrs. G. Potter, Green, Thomas, Packer, Hart-
well, and Jenkins were appointed as the deputation.
Mr. GREEN then moved the following resolution :
—" That the committee of the association be em-
powered to take immediate steps for convening a
conference of delegates from the trade societies and
trade councils of the United Kingdom to assemble
in London on the first Tuesday in March next, to
consider the recent decision in the Court of Queen's
Bench affecting the legality of Trades' Unions and
the necessary measures to be taken thereon."
Mr. STACEY seconded the resolution, which was
agreed to.

Mr. Tnour moved the following resolution :

" That this association having become acquainted
with the assertion of Mr. Ford, of the Thames Iron-
works Company, that they were prevented from
making contracts which would have employed many
artisans, because the shipwrights had refused to
accept a reduction of 6d. per day, and having,
after due inquiry, made a denial of this statement
in the daily papers of the 21st inst., regret extremely
to find that Mr. Ford's statement should have been
virtually incorporated in the report of the Lord
Mayor's Committee, read at the Mansion-house on
the 28th inst., notwithstanding its being an absolute
misrepresentation of facts."

Mr. T. BRYAN seconded the resolution, which was
carried.

It was then resolved that a public meeting should
be convened as early as possible in Poplar, to ex-
plain the misrepresentations daily being put before
the public as to the conduct of the skilled artizans of
the east end of London by interested and ignorant
persons.

The meeting then adjourned until Tuesday evening
next, to take the Queen's Speech into consideration.

THE LICENSING SYSTEM.

A conference for the purpose of promoting the
revision of the licensing system was held in Exeter

Hall yesterday morning, under the presidency of
Lord Eliot, M.P., in the absence of the Right Hon.
the Earl of Shaftesbury. The conference is to ex-
tend over two days, and to consist of morning and
evening sittings. The discussions and resolutions
are strictly limited to the consideration of the best
means of diminishing the present facilities for
drinking intoxicating liquors on the premises where
they are sold, or in places of public entertainment,
and of granting licences for such consumption. ,The
expediency of repealing the present Beer-shop Act
also forms a principal subject for consideration:
Among the gentlemen on the platform were
Archbishop Manning, the Rev. Sir Henry Lovelace
Starner, Bart., MA., the Rev. .Henry Solly, Mr.
Edward Lawrence, M.P., deputed to the conference
by the Town Council of Liverpool ; the Rev. Ed-
ward Jackson and Mr. John Jowett, Leeds deputa-
tion ; Rev. Dr. Garrett and Mr. Edward Whitwell,
Kendal deputation. There was a meagre attend-
ance in the body of the hall. Mr. C. J. Ribton
Turner, corresponding secretary, read letters from
Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., Mr. Townsend Mainwaring,
M.P., Sir John Bowring, M.P., Mr. G. J. Goschen,
M.P., General Sabine, President of the Royal
Society ; the Earl of Dartmbuth, the Earl of
Shrewsbury, Lord Denman, Lord S. G. Osborne,
Lord Ebury, the Bishop of London, Sir Thomas
Hastings, Sir R. Murchison, the Dean of Ely, the
Dean of Carlisle, and others, who expressed their
sympathy with the object of the conference.
The following resolutions formed the basis of the
discussion :

1. " That, in the opinion of the conference, the present
number of houses licensed to sell intoxicating drinks to be
consumed on the premises is very considerable in excess
of the real wants of the population, and that it ought to be
greatly diminished.
2. "That the power for granting licences for the sale of
intoxicating liquors to be drunk on the premises exclu-
sively vested in stipendiary magistrates appointed by the
Crown, who shall hold periodical sessions for the purpose,
on the plan of the courts held by revising barristers.
3. " That the wants of the street, parish, or district in
regard to such licences shall bo laid before the licensing
