HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY

Parliament was this day opened by the Queen in prr-
son, -and a description .of the ceremony we have given
elsewhere. It is scarcely necessary now to give her Ma-
jesty's speech in extenio, and we shall therefore content
ourselves with an outline. Her Majesty after alluding to
thedearth of provisions which prevails in Ireland and
in parts of Scotland,"• recommends her Parliament "to
take into serious consideration whether, by increasing for

a limited period the' facilities for importing

eorn from

foreign countries,- and* by the admission of sugar more
freely into breweries and distilleries, the supply •of food
may be beneficially augmented." Her Majesty then di-
reets their earnest• consideration to tire permanent
condition of Ireland," and states that " various measures
will be laid beford'thern, Which if adopted, may tend to
raise 'the great mass of people in comfort, to ;pi omote
agriculture, and to lessen-the pressure of that competition
for land which hai been the fruitful source of mime and
misery." The merrier of the Infanta of .Spain is
merely mentioned as having given rise to a correspond-

ence 'between 'the' British Government and these of
France and Spain. The extinction of Cracow 'is called
" a rnatoYest violation of the treaty of Vienna;" against
which•har Majesty'has pretested. Her Majestrempresses
a hope that the hostilitiesin the River Plate will soon be

terminated; and after stating that she has ordered every
reqiiiSite preparation to beernade for putting into Dpera-
tion,the act of last sessiern for recovering small' debts,

reoommen

s for improving the Health of
" Deeply sensible of the bless-

in g measari
