Speech OF Queen Victoria from the
Throne.

Speech Of Queen Victoria from the
Throne.
The following IS an extract from the
speech of Queen Victoria to the British
Parliament, in allusion to the United
States
Serious difficulties have arisen
among the States of the North Amer'-
can Union. 1t is impossible tor me to
look without great concern upon any
events which can effect the happiness
and welfare of people purely allied to
my subjects by descent, and closely con-
nected with them by the most intimate
ard friendly relations. My heartfelt
wish is, that these difficulties may be
susceptible of satisfactory adjustment.
The interest which | take iu the we'll
being Of the people Of the United States
cannot but be increased by the kind and
cordial reception given by them to the
Prince of Wales during his recent visit
to the continent of America. | am glad
to take this opportunity of expressing
my warm appreciation of the loyalty
and attachment to my person and throne
manifested by my Canadian and other
North American subjects, on the Occa-
sion Of residence the Prince OF Wales
among them"
TkuE.-The Albany Evening Journal,
speaking OF itinerant Abolition speak
ers, makes the following truthful re-
marks:
The unscxed men and women who 60
about the country like negro MINISTRIES,
preaching AboIltlouis,n, covet nothing
SO much as a row. 1t gives them no.
torietv, and that is what they want.
They have been gratifed in Boston and
Rochester recently. But the people Of
Oswego were wiser. They were not
noticed there, and the result was mere
cab load of spectators, and a very poor
picking. If they should come this way,
we hope they may be allowed to "best
the ar" to empty benches. Nothing
will please them less than this, while
nothing would so crafty them as to be
"persecuted.'
CoAL IN UrAA.-so al is believed to
exis: 10 large quantities 10 the Great
BASIN of Utah. On the Weber river, a
tributary Of Great Salt Lake, from the
western slope Of the Wahsatch range,
coal is now regularly mined and selling
at the pits for IS per ton, though the
price in Salt Lake City is S25, on &C.
count Of the expense Of transportation.
Should this coal prove to be Of good
quality, one great obstacle in the way of
y Pacific Railroad will be removed, viz !,
. scarcity of fuel for locomotives. Wood
is extremely scarce on the plains this
side Of the Rocky Mountains, while in
the Great Basin there is even less. The
discovery of coal near the centre of the
projected route, therefore, is exceeding
~ fortunate.
How TO CURE A CoLD.-The Journal
Of Health says. if man begins to
cough, a. the effect OF q common cold,
it is the result of nature attempting the
cure, and she will effect it in her own
time, and more effectually than any naa
can do SO, if she is only let alone, and
her instincts cherished. What are those
instincts! She abhors food, and Graves
warmth. Hence, the moment man is
Satisfied that he has taken cold, let him
do three things: First, eat not an atom.
Second, go to bed and cover up warm
in warm room. Third, drink ~ much
water Ma he wants, or Is much herb tea
as he can; and in three cases out of
fonr he will be almost entirely well in
| thirtv-six hours.
