Great Britain. On the 19th Aug. Parliament
met, and Mr.. Shaw Lelevre, whg was reelected
Speaker unanimously. On the goth the Queen
sent in her speech by commissioners. Not a word

lowing paragraphs:
Her Majesty continues to receive from foreign
powers gratifying assurances Of their desire TO
maintain with her Majesty tie most friendly
lations
We are more especially commanded to declare
to you that the extraordinary expenses which the
events in CunadH, China and The Mediterranean
have occaslol,ed and The necessity Of maintaining
Il orcc adequate to the protection of onr extensive
possessions, have made it necessary to consider
the means Of increasing the public revenues.
Her Majesty is anxious that this object should be
effected in the manner lenst burdensome to her
people and it has appeared to her Majesty, alter
full deibera,ion, that you may, at this juncture,
properly direct your attention to the revision of
duties affecting the productions of loregn coun
tries. 1t will be for yon to consider whether some
OF these duties are not so rillug in amount us to
he nnpruuuctivc TO The revenue, while they are
veXalious 10 commerce. You may farther exam
lie whether the principle of protection, upon
which others Of these duties ARE founded, he hot
carried to an extent injurious alike to Tie income
of the state and The Interests of the people.
Her Majesty is DESTROYS that you should consid-
er The laws which regulate The trade in corn. 1t
viii be for you to determine whether these laws
do no, aggravae the natural fluctuations of sup
py whether they do not emmrrass trade, de-
runge the ctrrcncy, and 10y their operation di-
mini-h The comfort and increase the priv atoms OF
the great body of the community.
Her majesty FEELING The drPnrst syutnllv with
those Of her subjects who are now suffering from
distress and want Of employment, ii is her earn
est prayer that all your deliberations may he gui
dcd by wisdom, and may conduce to The luppi-
ness OF her beloved people,
