\ The Address of the Speaker of the
House of Commons to the Throne, and
/ the speech of his Majesty, on the Goth
! of August, OH the occasion of proroguing
the Parliament, are published at length

King is much more elaborate than usua
on such occasions, and gives succincI
view Of the recent proceedings and poll
cy Of the government.

on the acts of the past session, gives the
following review, which we are inclined
to think, speaks the general sentiment Of
the people Of England
The Session of Parliament is this day
brought to a close, as will be seen by the
proceedings in another column. 1t has
been a long and a momentous one, and
though, on the whole, it has not fully re-
allied the public expectations, yet there
can be no question that il has effected
much good, and shown disposition
the first Parliament that ever did SOTO
legislate for the general benefit Of the
community. The three great leading
questions Of the day, whose settlement
was matter of pressing necessity, have
been disposed of-viz. the Bank Char
ter, the East India Charter, and (most
difficult and embarrassing Of alD the
West Indian Slavery question. Besides
hesc many minor, but still momentous
have been put into train Of
adjustment; while many more that should
nave been long ere this decided, have
,eon injudiciously postponed to next ses-
ZION. This "tarry awhile" system has
ound too much favor in the eyes Of our
irst Reformed Parliament, which must
'e far more decided and energetic than
has yet shown itself, if it wishes o pre-
erve the respect and confidence Of the
eo2le.

SpAIN.-The latest accounts give no ,
of the report published u {
Nv days since Of the deat'' of King Fer &
inand. 1t is rendered probable, how
yer, as well from the nature of his dis

lat he cannot long survive. Ii
