PARLIAMENT PROROGUED.
After Voting the supply BiIl the
British Par lament Adjourned
The Queens Speech.

London, Aug. 9.-Parliament ad.
jonrned after the appropriation bill
had been passed by both houses.
The queens speech from the throne,
st the propagation, after stating
that the relations with the pow.
ers of Europe and American continue
friendly, and reference to the estab.
lishment of the commonwealth OF
Australia, refers to the war in South
Africa, (which has placed in the
strongest light the heroism and high
military qualities from this country,
from Canada, Australasia and my
South African possessions"
The speech then says:
Believing the continued indepen.
dence of the republics to be a constant
danger to the peace of South Africa,
l authorized the annexation of the
Free State as first step to the union
of the races under an institution which
may, in time, be developed so as to sc.
cure equal rights and privileges in
South Africa
Referring to China, the speech from
the throne says
THE British and other legations al
Pe<in have been unexpectedly at.
tackled by al insurgent mob, and, it
is feared, many of their inmates have
been murdered. How far the Chinese
authorities are accomplices in this
atrocious crime, and whether the Brit.
ish minister and his family are among
the victims, are matters still in some
uncertainty. The utmost efforts will
be made by myself and my allies to
visit with worthy punishment the au.
thors Of this unexampled crime"
After a reference to the Ashanti ris-
ing, the speech devotes a few words to
the distress caused by the famine and
plague in India, and thanks the COM
mons for the liberality with which
they responded to the unusual finan-
cial demands due TO the war, and adds
that the satisfactory progress of the
campign gives fair ground for hop,
ing that the excessive requirements Of
military expenditure will soon be
abated.
The speech closes with the usual ref.
erence to the sessions legislation.

It.
