any other, presenting the same appear
ance on both sides of the fabric and will

both sides. it is not necessary to use the
extremely fine sewing cotton required by
those machines which make stitch with
ridge on the under side. which can only
be concealed by using thread too delicate
and fne to bear ordinary wear.

of the House of Commons were SUM
mOned to attend at the bar of the
Chamber of Peers, to hear the royal
speech. The Queen was not present,

to the assembled House by the Lord
Chancellor. The speech is, in sub

The hope is expressed that negotla-
tions with the United States will place
on a firm and durable basis the friend
ship which should ever exist between
England and America.
The disturbances in the Colony of
New Zealand are to be regretted, but
the Queen is sure that prudence and
moderation on the part of the Gov
ernment will prevent a recurrence of
such unhappy events. The esti-
