TIE LANGUAGE OF DIPLoMACY.-The
message Of the Queen calling out the re-
serves for permanent service, was read in
the House of Commons on Monday.
These troops are called out "for the main
tenaDee Of peaRe." One would think that
peace could be better maiptaiRed by leav-
ing them at home, but tho pLrnseoIogy of
State papers such as this must not be taken
literally. They are usually couched in
such terms as will best obscure their mean
ing. The act of calling out the troops,
and not the words of the message, must
be taken as the ihdex To England's inten-
ton. She evidently means war.

The Late Legislature.


The Annapolis correspondent of the
Baltimore american, in speaking of the
closing of the Legislature, says:
The thoroughness with which the Lerisla-
ture disposed Of the business on its files is
unprecedented. Col. Kidd, the efficient Clerk
OF the House, whose personal observation ex-
tends as Tar back as 1850, says he can recol-
iect nothing like it. He has known as high
as two hundred and fifty bills left over on the
MES. Last night when the gayel fell only one
Senate bill remained upon the files of the
house, and also the canal bonds funding
DILL There were no bills at all left on the
hies OF the Senate, which body took several
recesses while waiting for business to come
over from the House. The bill scaling down
and funding the preferred construction bonds
and accrued interest into a new series of
mortgage bonds was Intentionally kept back
upon the files. It never received the unani-
nous appreciation of the Ways and Means
Committee and the Senate Finance Commit
tee, and was reported to the House March .
II hung back IN a mysterious way, and did
not come up on its second reading until last
week. although bills introduced later had
gone through both houses and become laws.
When it did come up il was recommitted to
the Ways and Means Committee, reported
back on Friday night, and was unheard of
afterwards. The passage of the bill would
have secured large revenue to the State
from the canal, and great stress was laid upon
Il by Governor Thomas in his argument in
support OF the Baltimore and Ohio bill.
