I disturbed for some time.

"The breach between the Queen of Spain and her grand-
mamma, about the right of embroidering the pope's petticoat,
remains still as wide as ever, notwithstanding my zealous and
energetic efforts to finedraw it. I trust, however' that they will
grow tired of pulling caps about such a trifle, and allow the na-
toms to be at peace.
" I have received assurances from my ambassadors at the
Porte that the ladies of the harem are advancing. with rapid
strides-to the mastery. They acre the. first to set the example
of trousers to the rest of Europe,. a int will nut be the last to wear
the breeches. The fair sex in Egypt are prepated too ;.;ivelheir

Dairies and Gentlewomen of the Douse of Commons,
" I highly approve of the treasure you have taken for ad-
mitting' gentlemen to listen to your debates. It will improve—
if anything can—the manners of thatunfOrtunate and degraded
race; and operate, I trust, as a salutary check upon. your own.
You will, I am satisfied, take care, fur your own sake, that the
nasty creatures shall not smoke tobacco in your galleries, nor
offend public decency by exhibiting whiskers and such like
manly abominations.

" Your attention to the expenses of my nursery demands m 7,.,

"The establishment of an international treaty with France
for the regular and systematic interchange of fashions is an
event of importance on-which I otter you Joy sincere congratu-

" The improved cleanliness and sobriety oryour Irish sisters
is a subject of.legitimate satisfaction. I doubt not that a liberal
and equal distribution of soap will tend to confirm their taste
for such habits, and render the blessing permanent.
"You will retire to your respective watering places, and
exert, yourselves to keep up your own character and the fame
of the country bv.a beeetnitig career of gaiety and hospitality.
Such of you as shall visit foreign parts during the recess will
carefully note the modes an ! habits which will come under your
inspection; and all will, I am sure, bring up your children
vr a proper regard to those great interests in Court and
Church which make nations happy, and exalt the character of
a great _people."
Her Majesty dwelt with marked, and peculiar emphasis an
the word "soap,"-.in the paragraph in which allusion. is made
to Ireland; and having curtsied to the Ladies and dipped
slightly to the Commons, returned to her carriage, and was
loudly greeted by the people out of doors.
• .In the House of Commons, previous to the appearance of the
ITsiver of the Black Rod,

Dame Hume took a inistreislike and dispassionate review of
the Session; falling rather foul of the Ladies in the other House
for spoiling the cut of a strait-jacket, which had beer. designed
for the Church in Ireland.

Madame O'Connell hotly concurred, as did Miss Slicelah, her
Irish cousin, in the justice of those sentiments; but offered the
uieed of her applause "in regard of the Boys. being admitted
into the gallery."
Miss Wakley could not see the utility of such an introduc-
tion.
Miss Duncombe, in reply to her honourable friend, referred
to the turn-up between Lady Puguacia Baikly and Miss Muggy
Fraser; and asked, \Vould such a scene have occurred had
there been a gentleman within a,mile of it
Mrs. Kearsley was balancing herself steadily on her limbs to
answer the last question, when
Goody Clifford tapped at the door, and announced the arrival
of her Majesty,
The Speaker thereupon forthwith left the Chair.

CORN EXCHANGE.—Faum t, SEPT. 23, IS3I.

The arrivals of English and Irish Grain during the
tvetl prove very inconsiderable, with scarcely any Oat;
meal, and not much Flour; but as the deliveries of new
Corn From the growers become more general, the.inp-
plies are expected to increase.
Of foreign Wheat, Pease, and Flour we have a further
good supply, fresh up for to-day, which, of course, will be
placed in bowl. Since our report of Tuesday the wea-
ther continued fine up to last night, in the course of
which we had sore rain, and more again this morning;
all descriptions of Wheat notwithstanding, were offered
full Id per 701bs. below our last quotations, and at this
reduction the transactions with the millers here were
upon a moderate scale, exclusive of a few parcels of
Irish, old, taken for country consumption.
FloUr sold less freely than of late, but without any
change in value: Having no arrivals of Barley, prices
remain nominally 'invaded. Prime Malt must be noted
Is. per quarter dearer, but in other kinds there is no
amendnient. Beans and Peas sell morefreely for feeding
purposes, several further parcels of foreign having been
dispoied of at an adirance of Is. per' quarter. Oats of
gOod quality being scarce, are held at Id. per 451bs. over
Tuesday's rates, but not readily saleable at this irnprove-
nient. New Oatmeal, of which the market appears to he
completely cleared, would bring rather higher prices, and
good samples of old may be considered (id. per sack
dearer.
