are assured that there are grounds for apprehendng war
in Europe and that the Irish uprising has been eectuay
put down, and that too without the shedding of hardly any
blood Satisfaction is expressed the completion of the
new postal treaty with this Government which secures
reduced postage between the two countries and concludes
according to the cable report with congraulang Parliament
and the nation upon the completion Of the Canadian Union
the passage OF the Reform act and the adoption OF sundry
other wise measures
While the Queen remembers Ireland and Canada she is
entirely orgetful of India From that part OF the kingdom
does the Government derive which has elevated
from lnsgnifcance to rsclass Power. This fact alone
should entte to remembrance in review OF the foreign
and domestic relations OF the kingdom bGt there are at
to an official report recently published the famine which
has been raging with continually increasing force throughout
swept away no less than 900 the people, The misery
that must attend such awful famine seldom paraeled in
the annals OF history oeyGaa all t1d Ion
of cannbaism reported as OF common
The government appropriation and private charities of the
last year amounted $2000000 but that subsidy only
drop in the bucket and is proposed to increase the
amount only five hundred thousand dollars for the current
year. If the Queen is the great and knd-hearted woman
that she is represented be- why is she unmind of the
horrible condition of affairs in that country But the sgn
cant silence of the Queen quite in keeping with the
emptbe course pursued by that Government in the
ainment of the Sultan his visit to England. 1t
will be remembered that he d and onized regardless
of expense but not at the cost of his entertainers
The Queen herself enjoys annual income of
million and half dollars which, considering the retirement
in which she lives makes her in "easy circumstances but
Indian tax The fact that that poor starving country
made deay the expense of the Suans entertainment will
be perpetual reproach Engands Queen and it is not at
all strange that all mention of India sudousy avoided
1t be said in her defense that the royal exchequer
had just been depleted in the entertainment of another royal
guest for the Vieeroy of Egypt although royal guest
not royalty entertained That he not obliged to submit
to the disgrace of stopping hotel he is indebted to the
beraiy of English noble and not to the Queen of Eng
charity towards the suffering poor either at home in her
distant provinces of india has been muncen If such
the cae the fact has been most successfully concealed We
noticed the other day that her majesty present of three
pounds poor who had given birth to triplets
This was, certainly not extravagant donation from
woman with capital of 100000.
1t is not however, late for her to retrieve her reputation
from the reproach of parsmony The poor Hndoos still
dying of starvation hundreds thousands of them every
day and royal charity in their behalf would be most timely

The English Queen comes of race which knows well
how to take of going say its money we
mean-oer peoples mome, of which it manages to pocket
annually about twenty millions of dollars. The spawn of
Dutch Doors who constitute what is called the royal family"
of England ought understand this little performance
perfection they have practiced it long, Dr. Walcot in
poem called The Lousiad" celebrated the immense ber
atty of that dgned and heightened monarch King George
This third of the fools and the tyrants called George
grandfather her present gracious majesty Mrs Brown
Of the poetcal production have named we have at
present got copy but still remember the following
exquisite lines:

The late Albert knew how to
