hnC ~ "eDoSBc
LONDON, August l5.-Psrlisment WAS
prorogued at 2 o'clock this afternoon by
the Royal Commission. .-.,.-
The following is the Queens speech
read from the throne by the Lord High
Chancellor:
My Lords and Gentlemen:
am happy to be able to release you
! from your attendance upon Parliament.
My relations with all foreign powers are
of friendly character and l look tor
ward confidently to the maintenance OF
the good understanding which now pre-
walls.
The efforts, which, in common with
other powers, have made to bring
about y
Settlement Of Differences
unfortunately existing between the Porte
and It's Christian subjects in Bosnia and
Herzegovina have been hitherto unsuc-
cessful. The conflict begun in these
provinces has been extended into Servia
and Montenegro. Should a favorable
opportunity present itself, l shall BE-
ready, in concert with my allies, 10 offer
tion between the contending parties,
bearing in mind alike the duties imposed
upon me by treaty obligations and those
which arise from considerations OF hu.
msnity and policy.
A Difference has Arisen
between my government and that of the
United States rs to the proper construc-
tion of an article IN the treaty Of the 9th
of August 1872, which relates To the
mutual surrender OF persons accused OF
certain offences. The in 'onvenienccs to
both countries which woni follow n ccs-
sstion of the practice Of rxtradltion are
great and obvious, and ] entertain hope
that new arrangements will soon bc
arrived u: by which matters will DO placed
on satisfactory footing. f....
am deeply thankful that
MY Dear Son Prince Of Wales
has returned in good health from \
heightened journey in India. His pres
ence in that part OF my dominions has
given occasion for expressions OF feelings
OF loyalty and devotion 10 the throne,
which l highly value. In pursuance "r
Hp"tE y
proclamation, assumed tho title of EN-
press of India. In making, rs regards
India, this addition to tho ancient style
of my crown, | have desired to record on
this occasion the peculiar interest Ia mo
and the earnest solicitude which ] feel
for the
Hnppiness of NY Indian People.
| trust that peace and order will be- cs-
tablished in the Malay Peninsula and
the rulers of the native states will cheer
fully accept the recommendations aud
assistance ot my officers tor the better
government of their territory. The VISIT
ol the President from these states has
resulted in n satisfactory settlement oi n
long controversy which has existed, with
reference TO the provincoOi Griquelnnd
and al important advance has thus been
made towards that friendly aud cordial
cooperation of the noighboring states
which is
Essential 20 the Intcrcst or kOsth
Africa.
The conference in regard 10 South African
affairs, in regard 10 which the papers
have already been laid before you, is now
sitting in London, and cannot fail -
contribute largely 10 IA settlement OF the
various and important questions.
Gentlemen of the House Of Commons,
thank you for the liberal supplies you
have voted for the public service. An
additional outlay WAS required 10 place
NY Army nnd Navy upon u Proper
Footing OF Ehicienry,
and the check which had been given 10
the advance Of tho revenue by compare
tive stsgnstion Of trade, compelled me a.
propose an increase of taxation. j de-
sire " ackno GIcdge the readiness with
which you have responded 10 that appeal,
and at the same time ~ assure you that
no effort shall be wanting 20 keep the
expenditures Of the country within tho
bounds VI moderation. Ny lords and
gentlemen, the act which you passed for
the amendment OF the laws relating 10
Merchants shtppisg
will, j trust, promote the safety OF our ships
and sesmen without imposing unneccs-
sary restrictions upon the conduct OF the
service have observed with much
satisfaction the arrangements which you
have made tor maintaining and increas-
lng the efficiency Of tribunal, Of ultimate
appeal Tor the United Kingdom, BY
which, NJ the same time, the judicial
committee Of privy council and inter
mediate court OF appeal, will be improved
aud strengthened. In
Bidding you FAREWELL
/ pray the blessing Of Providence may
rest on your recent lsbors and accom-.
pany you in the discharge Of all your
duties.
