TIE QUEENS SPEECH.

Our readers VIII perceive that brltisn MN
iStry are fully impressed with the greatness Of
the crisis which they are called upon to coun-
tsract. The ministers are determined to carry
out the three greatmsasares which tbs ur5ea'
cy of the times demand, and which have been
forced upon their attention many times these
two or three mcnihs.
They are determined to suspend the Naviga-
ton Laws, 80 as to allow the vessels of every
county to bring provisions 10 the British
shores.
They are determined to repeal the duties of
the last session on the import alton Of grain
which under the present emei gency, have moi
only been useless, but positively mischievouS
by holding out premium, to thesams amount
in favor OF France and other countries where
corn is wanted
Theylhave determined to prohibit the use Of
grain in breweries and distilleries, and permit
the use of sugar and molasses, under certain
restrictions, so that the great quantity Of hui
man food required in the disillation Of fern
ented liquors may be saved to the nation. This
arrangement, it is said, will be the means of
materially increasing the revenue,
Finally. the whole of the available British
navy will be occupied in bringing food from
e, cry quarter of the world where it can be had
TO arrest the starvation Of which Ireland 10 the
scene.
The promptltude with which the Govern
ment is determined to act in this matter is al
ready making itself felt OH the food markets
The price of grain has experienced slight
check, and it is believed by many practical
men that all the provision markets, from this
time forward, will assume downward tenden-
cy.
In fact, it is we'll known that several mer-
chants have agreed 10 furnish in month or
two from the present time, large quantities Of
Germ at eighteen, and even sixteen shillngs
per quarter under the current rates. The far
mers are already taking the alarm, and so far
from keeping back. are now engaged i'll forcing
their produce on this markets.

es@.A@as" ~ anu Oldest Tea Establishment in
America. The public have had full proof of
their integrity and responsibility. But such
has been the great and pressing demand for
their Teas of late. that they have been obliged
to enlarge, to great extent, their two princi-
pal establishments in New York, viz:
l25 CHATHAM Il 1913 GREEWICH ST.
They moreover possess facilities, in relation to
the Tea Trade, in very abundant degree, and
doubtless superior to any Tea Concern in A
merica. Their seruruous regard to all prin.
ciples that tend to elevate the character OF a
large house. is wei! understood, and has al
ready secured them connection, probably,
larger than all other Tea Establishments uni
ted, and they are consequently determined to
sell Teas purer. more fragrant and perfect for
the prices, in the aggregate than any house in
the world-China excepted.
They most zsalously invite the attention of
the inhabitants Of Wolcottville, to their Agen-
cy. where the following assortments are always
on hand and they fsel no hesitation in stating
that wherever single trial is made, very
great prefeaence will be given to the celebrated
