LONDON, August 19.-Parliament reas
scinbled to-day. The Queens speech was
rs follows:
My Lords and Gentlemen: I have sum.
moncd you to meet at this unusual season
for the transaction of indispensable busi
ness. The session of the last Parliament
was interrupted before the ordinary work
of the year had been completed, in order
that the sense of my people might be taken
on certain important proposals with regard
to the government Of Ireland. The result
o.: the appeal has been to confirm the con-
clusion to which the late Parliament had
come The provisional nature of the ar
rangcment made by the last Parliament for
the public charge of the year rendered it
iacNpedient to postpone any further con-
s;dcration Of necessary financial legislation.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
Tie estimates which were submitted to the
last Parliament and only partially voted
will be laid before you
Ny Lords and Gentlemen: At the period
of the year usually assigned for recess,
and after the prolonged and exceptional
labors to which many of you have been
subjected, | abstain from recommending
now for your consideration any measures
except those which are essential to the
conduct of the public service during the
remaining portion OF the financial year. l
am confident that they will receive your
prompt and careful attention.
\ meeting of the Parnell members was
held in the House Of Commons before the
meeting of that body. Parnell presided.
Members who were present at the meeting
decided to discuss Irish affairs, especially
the Belfast riots, during the debate in the
House of Commons on the reply to the
Queens speech, and also to endeayor to
learn the intentions of the government in
regard to Ireland.
