The Queens speech IS as foliows: 80
My Lords and Gentlemen am happy
to be enabled TO release you from aItendanee
at Parliament. The relations between my.
self and foreign powers continue to becordiai,
and look forward with hope and confidence
to the uninterrupted maintenance of Eu.
ropean peace. The visit paid to this couH.
try, on the invitation Of my Government,
by the ruler OF ZlnZibar has led to the con.
ciusion OF asupplementary convention, which
[ trust may be eficacious for the more come
plete suppression of the East African slave.
trade. / have learned with deep regret that 4
the expedition dispatched by my Indian
Government from Burmah, with view to
open communication with the western pro-
yinees of China, has been treacherousiy att
tackled BY an armed force while on Chinese
territory.
This outrage, ,unhappily involving the death
of young and promising member Of my
consular service, is a subject OF careful In.
quiry, and no efforts shall be spared to se-
cure the punishment of those by whom 1t
was instigated and committed. The c0ndi.
ton Of my colonial empire Is generally pros
porous.
:'Geutlemeu OF the House of Commons,-
I thank you for the liberal supplies you have
voted for the public service.
Lords and Gentlemen,-It Is gratifying
to me to find that the heightened considera-
ton you have given to the various statutes
which have from time to time been passed
for the preservation Of peace In Ireland has
resulted in a.measure which, while relaxing
the stringency OF former enacimentS, is cal.
culated to" maintain the tranquility Of the
country"
Her Majesty ..en refers to the principal
enactments Of the session, the reference to
the shipping bills being as follows:
"The state of the public business and diff
ference of opinion naturally arising on va.
ried and comprehensive scheme have unfor-
tunately prevented you from completing the
consideration Of the merchants shipping bill;
but joice that you have been able by tenn
porary enactment to diminish considerably
the dangers to which my sea.faripg subjects
are exposed.
81 have every reason to hope that the pro.
gress in the revenue system which has
marked recent years will be fully sustained
in the present arrangements which you have
made with respect to the reduction OF the
national debt, and those for the better regu-
lation of loans for public works will lead to
valuable improvements in our system of i'm
perial and local finance.
"In bidding you farewell for the recess I
pray that the blessing Of Providence may fall
on your recent labors and accompany you In
the discharge of all your duties"
