The German Parliament was opened on the
9th Oct, the Speech from the Throne being
read by tho President Of the Chancelerio,
Herr von Debit k, as the Emperor is confined
to his room by a cold. Il contains few points
of interest, beyond a statemen that " since
last year, and at this day, the continued preser-
vation of peace is, so far as human Judgment can
pronounce, more assured than at any time
in the twenty years preceding the reconstruc-
ton of the German Empire" Irrespective of
any reason for its disturbance, " firm will, in
which the Emperor knows himself to be at one
with friendly Monarchs, Sufices for its nre8er-
~vation." This means that the present policy
of the three great military Courts is peace,
which was previously evident from their con-
duet in regard to the Herzegovina. The
Emperor admits q decline in trade, but denies
that Government can prevent it, and intima'os
that the fnancial policy recently pursued will
be continued, The speech excited no oathusi-
asm, and little remark.

The rain has been f%alli0g in floods, the
waters are out everywhere, and the Times
therefore discourses of the way to meet draughts.
The argument is that the surplus water ought
to be stored against q dry season, which now
that drainage has been carried to such an ex-
tent, produces on the light lands most costly
mischief. No argument could be more sound,
and irrigation will yet be attempted in England,
but will the Times help us to secure the organi-
sation of the County Councils, through which
alone the storage Of water can be provided for
Private enterprise cannot store water, for it
cannot distribute it, and Parliament is over
burdened with work. We must look to the
County Councils, and whenever Mr., Standsfeld
or anybody else proposes to establish them the
Times treats the project as if it involved a revo-
luton. It is quite certain, either, that the storage
of water will be so enormously costly a process ?
We should have thought that with the scienti-
fc knowledge OF topography existing in England,
and the engineering skill, the tank system of
storage could be carried out without any fright.
full expense. The difficulty of obtaining a d.
vidend will no doubt be considerable, but it
cannot, if the water be worth having, be in
superable.
Safvet Pasha, Foreign Minister of Turkey,
has addressed o circular to the representatives
