"a MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN:-The pc
| Rod has arrived when, according to usage, 1
can avail myself of your advice and assistance
| in the preparation and adoption of measures
which the welfare of the country may require.
| I continue to maintain the most friendly rela-
tons with foreign powers. The complicated
affairs of the Duchies of Holstein and Schles-
wig have continued TO engage my attention.
| have reason to expect that the treaty between
| Germany and Denmark, which was cancelled
| at Berlin in the year before last. within short
time will be fully and completely executed. L
regret that the war which broke out on the
Eastern frontier of the Cape of Good Hope,
more than q year ago, still continues. l OBJ
serve, with sincere satisfaction, the tranquility
which has prevailed throughout the greater
part of Ireland, and much regret that have TO
inform you that certain parts of the countries
| of Armagh, Doneghan and Louth, have been
marked by the commission of outrages OF the
| most serious description. The powers of ex-
| listing laws have been promptly executed Tor
| the detection of the offenders, and for the re-
preston of system of crime and violence
| fatal to The best interest of the country. My
attention will be directed to that important OBJ
ject."
Turning to the gentlemen of the Houae of
| Commons, Her Majesty says:
81 have ordered the estimate of the expenses
| of the current year to be laid before yoa. 1
rely with confidence on your loyalty and zeal,
| to make adequate provisions for the public SER
| vice."
Again addressing the Lords, Her Majesty
refers to the Improvements contemplated to be
made in the administration of Justice in the
| various departments, bills in relation thereto.
having been directed TO be prepared. The act
of 1S48, for suspending the operation of pre-
vious act, comforting representative insttu-
tons on New Zealand, will expire early in the
next year. Her Majesty expresses herself
happy to believe that there is no necessity for
its renewal, and that no obstacle any longer
exists to the enjoyment of representative insti-
tutions by New Zealand.
sit gives me great satisfaction she said,
"to be able TO state to you that the large re-
duction Of taxes, which have taken place of
late years, have not been attended with pro-
portionable diminution of the national in
| come. The revenue ofthe past year has been
fully adequate to the demands of the public
service, while the reduction of taxation has
tended greatly to the relief and comfort of my
subjects"
Her Majesty concludes :-"I acknowledge
with thankfulness to Almighty God, that tr an
quillity, good order, and willing obedience
continue to prevail generally throughout the
country. 1t appears to me that this is fitting
advisable, and to make such amendments in
the Act Of the late Reign relating to the repre-
sentation Of the Commons in Parliament, as
may be deemed calculated to carry into more
complete effect the principles upon which the
law is founded. Ihave the fullest confidence
that in such consideration you will firmly ad
here to the acknowledged principles of the
Constitution, by which the prerogatives OF the
Crown, the authority of both Houses of Par
Lament, and the rights and liberties of the peo-
pie are equally secured"
No amendment was proposed in the address
in reply to the speech in either House.

| ITALY-The trial of the Neapolitans for the
