TIIE QUEEN'S SPEECH. Hy Lords and Gentlssun;

I am induced by consideruions of public policy, to releasqiyou at an earlier period than usual from your legislative duties. '1 ie zeal anddi however, with which you have applied yourselves to year parliamentary labours, have enabled me, in this coin ira- tively session. to ive my assent to many measures of hig iiii- . and I trust great and paramount advantage.

I receive from all foreign powers assurances that they are ani- mated by the iuoet ‘I'I‘IIBtI_! disposition towards this country; and I entertain a confident . that the siniesble relations ha pil sub- aidl between the principal European States tniiy be so rni y es- tafl . as under Divine Proviileiice, to secure to the world a Iengeoetinannce of the " of peace; to this great end my at- tentnin will be nnreinittingly irect . _

I rejoice that the Inal settlement of the sfi'alrs of IIolstein Schola- &. by thi general concurrence of the powers chiefly interested, has

removed one cases of recent diflenncem _of future anxiety. The amicable termination to the di stone which have taken between the Sublime Ports and the Paolis of Egypt, nfl'ordn a guarantee for the tranquillity of the East, and encouragement to extension of commercial enter _r_ise. _

The refusal on the part of the tug of Ayn of justly de- mended for insults an injuries ofi'ercd to my subjects at . has ril led to an interruption of friendly relations with that eover u, an the proniptitudc and vigour with which the Governor Genera has taken the measures rendered unavoidable, have nie- sited my entire approbation, and I am confident, tlist on will par- ticipate in the satisfaction with which I have observ _ the conduct efall the naval and military forces ofl-‘.uro an India. by whose velour and discipline the itzportnnt capture o Ra pen and Marta- ban have been sccompl.ish , and in the hope w ich I oiitertam, that those signal successes may lead to an early and honorable

Gentlemen of the House of Commons: I thank you for the liberal provisions which you have made for the exigencies of the public service. The expenditure wliicli you have authorized shall be applied with it due regard to ofiiciency and

The ryecent discoveries of extensive gold field have produced in the Australian colonies ii temporary disturbance of society requiring attention. I have taken such steps as appear to be‘ more urgently necessary for the niitigntion of this most serious evi . shall continue anxiously to watch the irnportniit results which must follow from these discoveries. _

I have willingly concurred with you in an Act which by rendering available to the service of these colonies the portion arising within them of the hereditary revenue placed at the disposal of Purliiinient on my accession to the throne, may enable thorn to meet their ne- cessarily increased expenditure.

My ids and Gentlemen; _ _

I have 'Isdly assented to the important hills vvliicli you have ting reforms long and anxiously desired in the pr.ac- inga of the Superior Courts of Law and Lquity, and y for improving the ndiiiinistration of justice. Every measure which simplifies the forms and diminishes the delay nnd ex- penses of legal proceedings, without introducing uncertainty. of decision, impairing the authority of the courts, or lowering the high of the judicial bench, is a valuable boon conferred "upon

the coinirinnity at large. _

I hope that the measures which you have adoptedfor promoting the extrnniural interment of the dead, and for improving the supply of water, may be found effectual for the remedy of evils, the ex- istoncs of which has long been a reproach to this. great metropolis, and may cgnduce to the health and happiness of its inhitbitants.

The extension of popular rights and legislative powers tq in sub- jects resident in the colonies, is always to me _an object o deep

interest; and I trust. that their present native instructions, which inconoert with you there secured for New Zealand, may. pro- Iscte tlt_a welfare and contentment of the population of that distant bat most interesting colony and confirm their loyalty and attach- ment to my crown. _ _

, ' intention, without delay. to dissolve this present Parlia- nieat, and it is my prayer, that in the exercise of the high func- tion which, according to our free constitution, will devolve upon the several constituencies, they may be directed by an allwiae I'rovldeqee to the selection of representatives whose wisdom and

triotiavn iris aid me in my increased endeavours to sustain ‘the noon! and d nity of m crown; to upholdilie Protestant institu- tioos of the country, an the civil and religious liberty which_ is their natunl result; to extend and improve the natiotiit education edacstiin; to develops and encourage industry and science, and to elevatetbemoral and social condition, and thereby promote the welfare and happiness of my people.

DINNER T0 UAI"I‘. SLEIGII.

In our last we gave a list ofthe'I‘o:ista given at this Dinner. we have now the pleasure of giving abstracts of the speeches which prefaced and followed them.

The on. Charles Hensley, the Chairman, gave the first Toast, accompanied with the following-

Gur'ri.usx-.is;—'I‘liore are probably many here who remember the time, when the Chiiirinan of such a meeting as this. on rising to propose that toast, which by the enduring loyalty of the British people. hasaseum an unvariable prece eiice on such occasions, must have entertained serious doubts, its to its eiieral acceptabi- lity to his hearers. Ilappily those‘ times have orig passed away; and that now it is no fiction or poetical extravagance to assert, that the Queen reigns in the hearts of all her subjects. Lon may eho continue to enjoy and to deserve the nlfectionate Ioyiilty o is highly intellectual and moral people; rind long may we continue to it - preciitte the blessings we possess under a constitutional monarchy so wisely and popularly iidniinistered.

1. Her Majesty The Queen.

The Band playing the Naliolial A/ithem.

The Hon. W. Swabey, Vice President, proposed the next Toast, prefaced with some reiuaike suited to the occasion.

2. Iltl Excellency the Lieut. Governor.

Aui-- Loss of Gou-rie.

The Third Toast was given from the Chair, with the follow- ing very pertinent and sensible observation»-

G:i_r'ri.I:sss:iv;—'l‘here is a nation ufuubounded talents, energy, and enterprise, whose rapid advance in its career of prosperity, and of real power and greatness, fills the world with wonder and admiration. There wasa time. wlien from the little coiiirnur.ica- tioii between us, we unfortunatel knew and heard more of each others’ faults and peculiarities than of those great and sterling qua- lities by which alone a people can achieve and retain a high position among the nations. The perfecting of eteain communication by land and by son, has made us better acquainted with each other; and that better acquaintance is rapidly ripening into a warm,

trust, permanent friendship. When we shall take sweet counsel together ior the promotion of works and objects mutuall advanta- geous, and all those jealousiee and distinctions which have sonic- tiines made us to regard each other as strangers, shall be absorbed and for ottcn in the indulgence and exercise ofthuso gracious cour- tesies winch we commonly reserve for chosen and cherished friends.

3. The President of the United States.

AXR—-Hail Columbia.

Major NORTON, American Consul at Pictou, responded to the 'I‘uast.—IIavin-,: furnished our readers in a former number with a speech of this gentlcinan, in reply to the same toast, given at a dejeuncr on board the Albatross in Halifax harbor, in whicli the gallant gentleman of necessity adverted to the same topics, but \\ itli it variation tiflaiiguage, ivhinli claimed our ad- miration, we e‘iall not pretend to follow him over the same rround. With reference however, to the enlarged intercom- munication by means of Steam, he thus expressed himself-— The intercourse so rapidly increasiiia between the t\\'0 coun- tries, antl which the enterprise of his friend Captain Sleigh was so well calculated to promote, and soon bring about this happy result. To that enterprise, the future prosperity of Prince Edward Island will be largely indebted, for it will be the means of making his countrymen more extensively acquaint- ed with her resources and capabilitit-s—the richness and ferti- lity ofher soil, which surpasses any thing he has ever witness- ed—tlie loveliness of her scenery and the liealthiness of her climate. which give her strong claims to be regarded as the gem of the Continent. The people of the beautiful Island would soon be elevated to their proper position in the estima- tion of the great American world. ' With the increase of knowledge the onward march of science—wliich is filling the world with wonder at its acliioveinents, developing the great powers of steam, ivliich brings people ofonce distant countries in constant ooinmunion with each other, and convert- ing the lightning of heaven to the hourly one of man,-—tliere must be a corresponding increase to the comforts and conve- niences of life; and those are sure to be shared by the inha- bitants of this Colony as well as by their frinds on the other

(Choers.)

The Chairman, the Hon. Mr. HENSLEY, proposed the next, the most prominent Toast, of the evening, and spoke as fullows— -

Gs:iv'rx.nssI:rs;—It was sometimes the custom of that great statesmen by whose wise and bold counsels, commerce li:is been relieved from many of its severest bun ons, and agriculture enlightened and freed fioin a at of delusions (when more than commonly earnest) to arrange his proposition under three heads, leaving his supporters to take any one or all of them as the ground of their adherence. \Vithout affecting to assay the armour of that potent champion, I may, perhaps, bu permitted to sling one ofthe stones taken out of his sorlp. I w‘ I any llttm, that there are three indisputable grounds for receiving the toast I re ofi'er tie your acceptance, with the strongest expression 0 your up-

rova . P First. There are those general benefits and advantages which. not only commerce and agriculture, but every class of iiiiercst, are sure to derive from the eetnblisliment of certain and rapid commer- cial cominunicatiorgvitli New York, through this Island to Qleboc, by means ofa Steamer ofeuch power, capacity, elegance, and coin- peteiiess of equipment as the ./tlbatross: by which. indeed. this

sland will be at once advanced from its state of inertness u id o - scurity into a great thoroughfare of commerce and intelligence. The Second is, that natural interest whiz-hnlI_ ‘ ' _

ly take in the progress and success of a speculation, undertaken in such a liberal and enterprising spirit,ernbriiciiig so many objects

0 - O

deserving universal favor. and so sure in its consequences, to hasten P

on that general iiinrch of improvement throu limit this Island, which all good men must earnestly desire. The ’I‘ ird is. that respect and regard which we justly imbibe for the individual, by whose talents, energ and means all those great and desirable ends are to be ac- conip ished. “'0 have most of us had the opportunity of ins ting the Albatross, and iidmirin the excellence and perfection o all the arrangements on board 0 icr. We have toalay the pleasure and honor of entertaining the enterprising and distinguished owner of her ; and Iain sure, Gentlemen, that you will join heartily in this expression of the deep interest we take in the success of his enter- prise, by drinking health, long life, and prosperity to 4. Captain Sleigh. A iii-—" See the conquering Hero tomes.”
