DIsRAELI's A1nUsroN TO QUEEN V1oTo-
n1A.-The essential part of Mr.. Disrasli's Is
remarks at Hughenden, concerning
which sensational telegraphic report
was made, was as follows:
The health of the Queen has for Sc
veral years been a subject of anxiety to
those about her, but it is only within
this last year that the country generally
has become acquainted with the gravity
OF that condition. believe 7 may say
that there is some improvement in her
Malesty's health, but fear long time
must elapse before it will reach that
average condition which sho has for
some time enjoyed, and do not think
we cnn conceal from ourselves that a
still longer time must elalise before her
Mnjesty will be able to resume the per.
formance of those public and active du.
ties which it was once her pride aud
pleasure to fulfill, because they brought
her into constant and Immediate contact
with her people. The fact is, we cannot
conceal from ourselves the fact that her
Majesty is physically incapacitated from
performing those duties, but it is some
consolation to her Majesty's subjects to
know that In the performances of those
much higher duties which her Majesty
IS called upon to perform, she is still re-
markable for punotuality and precision
which have never been surpassed and
rarely equaled by any monarch Of these
realms. A very erroneous impression is
prevalent respecting the duties OF the
sovereign of this country. Those du-
ties are multifarious; they are weighty
and they are uncensing. I will venture
to say that no heud Of any department
IN the State performs more laborious du.
ties than fall to the sovereign of this
country. There is not a despatch re-
ceived from abroad, nor one sent from
this country, which is not submitted to
the Queen. The whole internal admi-
nistration of this country greatly de-
pends upon tho sign manual, and of our
present sovereign 1t may be said that her
signature has never been placed to any
public document of which she did not
know the purpose and of which she did
not approve. Those Cabinet Councils
Of which you all hear, and which are
necessarily the scene of anxious and i'm
poreant deliberations are reported and
communicated on their termination by
the Minister to the sovereign, and they
often call from her critical remarks, me-
cessarily requiring considerable atten.
tion. And will venture to add, that
no person likely to administer the affairs
Of this country would treat the sugges.
tions of her Majesty with indifference.
for at this moment there is probably no
person living in this country who has
sucb complete control over tho political
traditions of England as tho sovereign
herself. s
