Her telegraphic report to the HERALD contains
a synopsis Of the proceedings which took place
in the British Parliament Immediately after the
delivery of the Queens speech. The House OF
Commons voted the address to the Crown IN reply
unanimously. Members referred at once to the
American question, when Lord Palmerston made
the important declaraticn-on behalf of the Cabi-
net-that "The distress in the manufacturing dis
tricts in England from the blockade Of the Southern
ports would not justify the interference of the 60
vernment, aud that they would continue in their
neutral course" Even the opposition repre-
sentatives found their party tactics foiled, and
were forced to approve of the adjustment
of the Trent difficulty. Lord Derby-the Pre-
mier expectant- thought that our government
assented with ga very bad grace to the demands
Of England, but we must remember that Lord
Derby is the pink and personifcaticn of British
aristocracy, so that his ideas Of routineboth Off
cial and every dsy--are entirely different from
those of democratic President and Secretary Of
State.
The Tuscarora left Cowes on the 9Th instant, and
