In some respects the Queens speech, which
we printed yesterday, was unimportant. 1t
did not surprise and tickle the world. In other
respects II was wonderful. 1t was record of
reforms such as England has not known in
many long year. 1t was something for the
Queen to be able TO congratulate the houses
for having passed bill SO sweeping as that Of
the Irish Church Dlsestablishment bill. It is a
sign of the times that the Sovereign of England
should feel 1t necessary to express the hope
that ''this important measure may hereafter
be remembered as conclusive proof Of the para
mount anxiety of Parliament to pay reasonable
regard, in legislating for each of the three
kingdoms, to the special circumstances by
which 1t may be distinguished, and to deal on
principles of impartial justice with all interests
and all portions of the nation" The other bills
to which the Queens speech referred were all
important, but they are not to be compared
for moment with the Irish Church Disestab-
lshment measure. This is the measure which
sets the trap for the destruction Of all the
privileged orders, the Crown not excepted.
1t is somewhat amusing to notice that the
sovereign for the time being acquiesces in the
preliminary stages Of revolution which
threatens the throne. The good Queen, how
ever, does not see this, and her Ministers are
wise enough not to give it unnecessary promi-

Our Chinese Visitors.

The visit of Choy-Chew and Sing Man, the
Chinese merchants from San Francisco, who
arrived here on Wednesday evening, will
further the influences Of the recent visit Of Mr.
Burlingame aud his diplomatic party. 1t will
even more directly promote the friendly COM
mercial relations which 1t was main object of
the Burlngame mission to inaugurate. Choy-
Chew, in his speech at Chicago on the 9Th
inst, admirably expressed the sentiments Of
the more enlightened among the great mer-
chants in the Chinese empire when he said,
''China must brush away the dust Of her an
tiquity, and, looking across the Pacific, behold
and profit by the lessons Of the New World. >
That she has already begun to do this Is mani
fest from the facts stated by him that ''steam-
boat lines have been established on our rivers
and the telegraph will soon connect us with
this wonderful sovereignty, where the people
rule aud where everything proclaims peace and
good will to all" About thirty-eight years ago
the Edsn6urgh Repieu exposed the falsity Of
the statements made by those interested in the
monopoly Of the East India Company as to the
anti-commercial character Of the Chinese. 1t
proved that they were, on the contrary, Q
highly commercial people that they were, as
they still are, the great traders Of the Eastern
archipelago; that vast numbers of them were
settled at Batavia, Singapore and other COM
mercial emporia, all actively engaged in trade
or in some species of useful industry. The
Edinburgh Reuieao predicted even then the
growth of that American trade with China
which now promises to assume such prodigious
proportions and the interests of which will be
materially helped by the visit of Choy- Chew
and Sing Man to our metropolis as representa-
tives of Chinese industry and commerce

California has long ago established its repu-
tation az fruitful State of the Union by its
magnificent yield Of gold, drawn from the
bowels OF Its mountains and the beds of it's
auriferous streams and gullies. The whole
world has been enriched from these sources in
the quantity OF precious metal which has sup
piled the mints Of our own and other countries
for purposes of coinage and has been worked
up into a thousand shapes by the hands Of
skilful jewellers and mechanics. But California
is rich in something besides gold. The fruits
and vegetables which grow to prodigious size
and ripen under her genial skies have made
her as famous as her gold product. There is
no soil or climate on this Continent so favor
able for the cultivation Of fruits as California
The rarest and most luscious specimens in the
whole category of Pomona are to be found
there in abundance, and now that the Pacific
Railroad brings the eastern shore within q
weeks journey of San Francisco we may ex-
pect that the fruits of the California valleys
and hillsides will become articles of extern
sive trade, profitable to the cultivators
and acceptable to the people on this
side of the Continent. Heretofore we
knew these luxurious products of the Golden
State only by hearsay. We had heard Of its
gigantic trees, and even saw some COMPARE
lively diminutive specimens of them in the
old Crystal Palace. We have tasted the fine
wines of California-the honey-dew favored
Angelica, which ladies' palates do most affect !;
the delicate, fruity hook, which gentlemen
do not disdain, and the champagne, that wants
only experience in the manufacture 10 rival
Heidseick or Cliquot. But it is only now that
we are brought into possession of the rich
fruits for which this State Is renowned. For
example, we have just received within about
fourteen days from California case Of rich,
ripe and Juicy pears in splendid condition
pears that three weeks ago graced the trees on
the Pacific coast, and no doubt weighed them
down with the precious burden, for they
average nearly twelve ounces each. They
come from the Sacramento Fruit Company,
through Its agents, Miller d Luther, Of this city.
The time is close at hand when all these
delicious products of the Pacific slope-apples,
pears, apricots, peaches and grapes in clusters
three feet long, which the Californians now
enjoy month or more ahead Of our season
will come to us over the railroad as regular
articles of trade, just as the peaches and
melons Of the Southern States come into our
early markets now. Then, indeed, we shall
be reaping all the fruits Of our Pacific Access
sion Of territory.

PendletOn In Ohio.

Pendleton's nomination for Governor of Ohio
is point supposed to be gained by that small
great man of the West in the democratic game
for the next Presidential nomination. So, in
deed, it is said, was the nomination even of
Rosecrans, but not 80 palpably. Eastern and
Western democrats, in cooking up the Presi-
Dental omelet for 1872, had used New York
Hoffman as egg and certain Ohio politician
as fines her6ss, and their game was to put the
Ohio man up for Governor to give him the
necessary preliminary of position before the
people. Now, their man was not Rosecrans,
but Ranney; aud the Pendleton men, deter
mined to squelch the movement-having an
eye themselves to the Presidency-put up
Rosecrans as one likely to rally good vote
from the other side Of the political Jordan.
Rosecrans, however, being less obIiging than
the celebrated Mr.. Barks, is not "willin'," and
30 the Pendleton men fall to the centre of their
political universe and take Pendleton himself
This beats the Hoffman affair in Ohio; but,
after all, Ohio has its limits.
