LONDON, March 19.-The following is
the Queen speech:
My Lords and gentlemen:
have had recourse to your advice at
the earliest period, permitted by the ar
rangements consequent on the retirement
of the late Administration, friendly. l
shall not fail to exercise the influence
arising from these cordial relations for
the maintenance of European peace, and
the faithful observance Of international
obligations. The marriage OF my son Is
II source of happiness to myself and
pledge of friendship between the two
great empires. The Ashantee war has
terminated in the capture and destruc-
ton of the capital, and also ne8otia-
tons, which, l trust, may lead to more
satisfactory condition of affairs. The
courage, discipline and endurance OF my
forces, and the energy and skill evInced
in the conducting of the expedition has
brilliantly maintained, under the most
trying circumstances, the tradItionary
reputation of the British army. l deep
ly regret that the drought has affected the
most populous provinces OF the Indian
Empire, and produced an extreme search
ty i'll some parts amounting to actual
famine over an area inhabited by many
millions. l have directed the Governor
General of India to spare no cost in
striving to mitigate the terrible calamity.
Gentlemen of the House OF Commons:
The estimates of expenditures during
the coming financial year, will be forth

My Lords and gentleman: The delay
and expense attaching to the transfer of
land in England has long been felt re-
proach to our laws, is the serious obsta-
Gle it presents to dealing in real property.
| trust the measures which will now be
submitted for your consideration, will be
found calculated to remove much Of the
evil which is complained Of. You will
probably be of the opinion that rear
rangement of the judicature, and a
blending of the administration OF law
and equity which were effected in Eng
land by enactment last session, ought to
be extended to Ireland. You will be
asked to devote part Of your time to the
accomplishment Of this desirable end.
The greater part of these changes are in
applicable to the tribunal in Scotland,
but you will be invited to consider the
most satisfactory mode of bringing the
procedure upon Scottish appeals into
harmony with the recent legislation.
Among other measures relating specially
to Scottish interests, is a bill amending
tae law relating to land rights, and fncil-
i.ating the transfer of land will be laid
before you. Serious differences exist, and
circumstances made by large class
as to the working of the recent act af-
feeling the relationship of master and
servant, and the act of 1871, dealing
with otfenses connected with trade and
the law of conspiracy. On these subjects
| am DESTROYS, before attempting fresh
legislation. that you should be in posses
sion of all the material facts and the pre-
else questions in controversy. For this
purpose | have issued my royal COM
mission of inquiry into the subject
and the working OF the present laws,
with view to their early amendment.
II found necessary bill will be intro
duced dealing with such parts of the act
regulating the sale of intoxicating
liquors as have given raise to complaints
and appear to deserve the interference
of Parliament.
