The cable brings us the following extended
report Of the Queens speech, as delivered by
commission on the 9Th instant.
Lords and Ge7,tlen,era--We have 1t in COM
mand from her Majesty again to invite you to
resume your arduous duties, and to express
the regret of her Majesty that her recent indis-
position has prevented her from meeting you
in person, as 1t had been her Intention to DO.
You reassemble at q period of remarkable pub
lie interest. Friendly sentiments are entertain
ed in all quarters towards this country, and
these feelings her Majesty cordially rcclpro-
Gates. There is growing disposition among
nations to resort to the good offices of their
allies in cases of international difference. The
conciliatory spirit in which several such cases
have recently been treated and determined
encourage her Majesty's confidence In the
maintenance of general tranquility. Papers
will be laid before You with reference 10 the
recent occurrences in New Zealand: Gentle-
men of the House OF Commons, estimates for
the approaching financial year are In for
ward state of preparations; they are framed
with view, in the first place, to the effective
maintenance of the public establishments, ana
will impose diminished charge upon her Ma
iestv's subjects. The condition Of the revenue
has answered the expectations, formed IN M Inc
past session. Her Majesty trusts you Will be
disposed to carry into completion the inquiry
Quoting Parliamentary and municipal electlcns,
and thus prepare materials useful for early
legislation. Lords and gentlemen, twill be
proposed to amend the laws respecting the oc-
cuDatloIi and acquisition of land in ireland, in
q manner adapted to the peculiar circumstan-
ces of that country, and calculated, as her
Majesty believes, to bring about improved
relations between the several classes con-
cerned in Irish agriculture, who collectively
constitute tho great bulk of the people. These
provisions, matured by your impartiality and
wisdom, as her Majesty trusts, will tend to
inspire among persons with whom such senti-
merlts may still be wanting that steady con-
ilndence In the law, and desire to render as
sIstance in its effective administration, which
mark her Majesty's subjects In general: This
will aid in consolidating the fabric of the en-
to state that many other subjects Of public I'M
portance appear to demand your care, and
among them especially to inform you bill has
been prepared fer the enlargement, on q COM
prehensiVe scale, of the means Of national edu-
cation. In fulf1lment of on. engagement to the
Government of the United States, bill will
be proposed to you for the purpose OF defining
the status of subjects who are citizens OF
foreign countries, and who may desire natural
izatlon, and of aiding them in the attainment
of that object.
You will be invited to consider bills pro-
posed In compliance with the report of the
Commission on Courts Of Judcature, for the
Improvement Of the constitution and proce-
dure of the superior tribunal OF the original ap-
pelIate Jurisdiction. The question of religious
tests in the universities and colleges of oxford
and Cambridge has been under discussion for
many years, and her Majesty recommends
such legislative settlement of the questions as
may contribute to extend the usefulness OF
these great institutions, and heighten the re-
spect with which they are justly regarded.
Bills have been prepared for extending the
incidence Of rating, and for placing the coilec-
ton of large sums, locally raised tor various
purposes, on simple and uniform rating. Her
Malestylikewise recommends you to under
take an amendment to the laws which regu-
late and grant licenses for the sale of fermented
and spirltuous liquors. 4
Measures will be brought under your consid-
Grafton facilitating the transfer Of land In cases
In testary, amending the laws as to disabilities
OF members OF trade combinations, and for
consolidating and Improving the body Of the
statute which relates 10 merchant shipping.
While commencing to you these weighty mat
tiers for legislation, her Majesty commands us
to add thai the recent extension of agrarian
crime in several parts Of Ireland, with its train
of accompanying evils, las filed her Majesty
with painful concern. The executive has en-
ployed freely the means OF her command for
the prevention OF outrage, and partlal I'M
provement may be observed. Although the
number Of offences within this class OF crime
has been by no means so great rs at for
mer periods, the indispostlon to give evidence
| in aid of the administration of justice has been
alike remarkable and injurious. For the re-
moval of such evils, her Majesty places main
| reliance on the permanent operation OF wise
and necessary change in the laws. She will
not hesitate to recommend the adoption OF
special provisions, should such o policy appear
during the session, to be required by the para
mount interest OF peace and order. Upon
these and all other subjects, her Majesty prays
that your labors may be constantly attended
