plies YOU have voted for the public ser
vice. Ny lords and gentlemen. 1t Is
gratifying to me to find that the enlighs-
ened consideration you have given the
various Statutes which haye from time
to time been passed for the preservation
of peace in Ireland. has resulted in q
measure which, while relaxing the
stringency Of former enactments, is
calculated to maintain the tranquility
of the country"
Her majesty refers to other principal
acts of the session. Her reference TO
the shipping bill being as follows: The
state of public business; the difference
of opinion naturally arising out OF
varied and comprehensive scheme
have unfavorably prevented you from
completing the consideration of the
merchant shipping bill. but I rejoice
that YOU have been able, by temporary
enactment, to diminish the considerable
dangers to which my sea-faring subjects
are exposed have every reason to
hope that progress in the revenue sys-
TEN which has marked recent years will
be fully sustained in respect to the re-
duction of national debt and those for
better remuneration for public works
will lead to valuable improvements in
our system of imperial and local f.
nance. In bidding you farewell for the
recess. pray that the blessing Of Prov
idence may fall on your recent labors
and accompany you in the discharge
of all your duties.
