TIIE QUEEN'S SPEECH TO THE LADIES.

(Fran?, Punch,

Members of Parliament and Peers of the Reale: being
about to be instructed how they are to spend their even-
ings for the nt xt three months, her ino4 gracious Ma-
jesty has been pleased to direct that a companion speech
might be prepared for her, in which she should apprise
their wives and daughters how to get rid of the nights
while consorts and papas are prosing or sleeping for the
good of the nation. Mr. Punch has been favoured with
a copy of the Queen's Speech co the Ladies, and is in-
f irmed that in the event of her Majesty's absence at the '
opening of the session, it will be delivered by the Lord
Chamberlain, who, as the peer most c inversant with the
topics ref-rred to in the a idress, will fo low the Lord
Chancellor, a peer not supposed to be very conversant
with any topic at all.
"My Ladies and Gitle,lt gives me great pleasure
to announce to you that besides the usual number of
balls, soirees, dancing-teas, at bonne', and other descrip-
tions of parties with saltatory and matrimonial objects, a
great variety of public ainusemew.s will be offered to
you during the season.
" At the opera-house which hears my name, you will
hear a very delightfui recruit from the ranks of the
church. Signor Giuglini, a tenor of an admirable charac-
ter. That fascinating little personage, Mademoiselle
Piccolomini, is again present with all her enchantments,
and Mr. Lumley, whose talent fir dicovering the stars
of the ballet rivals the skill of Airy or Arago in ransack-
ing the firmament, has introduced to you a most charm-
ing danseuse, Mademoiselle Pochini, 'whose achieve-
ments leave nothing to be desired except that she would
perform them over again.
"I regret to state that the vulgar selfishness of cer-
tain doge-in-the-manger, ordinarily known as Renters,
has excluded Mr. Gye'e. operatic company from Drury-
lane Theatre, but it may be heard in great force at the
pretty Lyceum, where my illustrious Sister, the Queen
of Song, r, igns in superb health and unflagging vigour,
supported by the illustrious Mario, Count di Candia,
and by that consummate tragedian, Signor Ronconi.
"My meritorious Baldwin Buckstorie, at the Hay-
market Theatre, e ffers to such of you as possess an un-
vitiated taste for the drama a series of plays of an in-
teresting character, with highly entertaining farces, as
also a burlesque, in which my English is quaintly dealt
with by the ingenious Frank Talfourd, and in which
you will see spirited acting and elegant appointments.
"I specially charge and command each and every of
you, as you value your Queen's good opinion, to visit
Mr. Wigan's theatre in Wych-street, for the purpose of
beholding Mr, Robson's performance as the " Miser."
Such extraordinary acting has not, I am informed by
universal veice, been witnessed since the days of Mr.
Edmund Kean, who, I am further informed, never dis-
played genius surpa-sing that evinced by Mr. Robson
in this character. You need not be ashamed of the
tears he will elicit, as they will result from an exercise
of the highest art, and as you will find the entire audi-
ence affected in common with yourselves.
"Mr. Charles Kean has placed upon the stage of my
daughter's theatre a spectacle in which the life of a bye-
gone age is reproduced before you with extraordinary
fidelity and splendour, and -you will have the additional
advantage of hearing, in the course of the spectacle,
several well-selected pa-sages from a noble tragedy by
Mr. William Shakspeare.
" At the Adelphi Theatre, you will find that Mr.
Benjamin Webster continues to present e series of most
effective dramas, constructed upon that principle of in-
tense interest hich may be regarded as the element of
legitimacy at his establishment ; and it is with great
pleasure that I announce to you, that this distinguished
actor, who can ill be spared from the stage (at present
not rich in artists), re-appears in a character of import-
ance, in which you will not fail to see him.
" My trusty Mr. Mitchell is about to re-open the St.
James's Theatre with a celebrated company of artists
from the capital of my valued ally, the Emperor of the
French. A series of choice operetta, to be cenducted by
the composer to toe Theatre des Bmfles, M. Offenbach,
will be given, and the• list comprise, seine exceedingly
charming works.
" I could wish that you would all take an opportunity
of visiting the only theatre where the works of Mr.
William Shakspeare are given as plays. I allude to the
house under the management of Mr. Samuel Phelps, at
Islington. The distance is trifling to those who, like
youtselve,, possess the means of vehicular conveyance,
and you will be amply rewarded in witnessing exceed-
ingly fine acting by Mr. Phelps, and a careful, intelligent
anti judicious performance by his excellent company.
"I should deplore your omitting to delight the younger
branches of your faintly by indulging them with an occa-
sional visit to Astley's Amphitheatre, where the eques-
trian petformatices, under the direction of Mr. Cooke,
are as extraordinary as ever, with the addition, as in the
exploits of Miss E. Cooke and others, of a gracefulness
which commends itself to the cultivated eye.
" Having thus indicated to you, my ladies and girl,
how you may pleasantly dispose of the time while my
lords and gentlemen are attending to the business which
I have marked out for them, it only remains for me to
express my certainty ,that amusement, however delight-
ful, will never engross the British female, to the neglect
of her more elevaeed and serious occupations, and with
this hint to wish you a series of exceedingly pleasant
evenings."

NO MORE.

No more, no more—at those brief words
How many a tear will start,
How many sad, but thrilling °horde,
That deeply touch the heart ;
How many a scene of fond delight
That time will ne'er restore,
Like those sweet voices of the nights
Bright, beauteous, but—no more.

No more, no more—that lute unstrung
Again it brings to mind,
Sweet songs that were as sweetly,sung,
Still in my heart enshrined ;
Too well that broken lute recalls
The pleasant sounds of yore,
As on the beart its echo falls,
And seems to breathe--no more.

No more, no more—when lips we loved
Are sealed in cold decay,
When faithfol hearts, that friendship proved,
Long since have passed away ;
Who has not felt the thrilling sound,
Deep in his bosom's core,
Nor sighed for all the sadness found
In those brief words—no more /
J. E. CARPENTER.

There is still an absence of gold withdrawals from the
Bank. The 200,0001. brought by the Anglesey from
Australia has not yet been delivered, but is expected
to-day, when a portion, if not the whole, will be taken
for exportation. A. large sum may now be considered
due from Australia, and if it should soon arrive much
of it would probably be taken to the Bank.
