The Premier yields to the known wishes of the country, and promises a comprehensive re form bill next year. Mr. Roebuck had placed his notice of motion on the booke of the House on the subject of the Tepreseutation—as motion which would probably bave fur- nished a Ministerial defeat. The Queen’s apeech, ove of the most remarkable on record as a sample of how much Could be said without meaning anything, had been read— the speeches of the proposer and soconder of the address iv reply delivered—when af the last moment the aspoct Of affairs had become «0 menacing that the Premier got up and promised that if the House would give him a new lease of office till next yoar, the government would be prepared to bring forward a reform bill of their own. This was a clever move onthe partof Lord Palmerston. Its efiect is tostop the rising popularity of his rival—Lord John Russell—to appease the independent section of the Honse, and to annihilate for the time the tory opposition. The only matters worthy to be named in the Queen's speech are:—First, the exprossed intention of the govern. ment to take measures for “ checking fraudulent breaches of trust.” Second, the congratulation her Majesty oifers to Parliament at “witnessing the continued well being and contentment of her people and the progressive develope- ment of prodoctive industry througbout her dorainions.’” Doubtless her Majesty witnesses nothing but contentment and well being about her, and perhaps she hears occa- sionally of successful and productive industry; bat surely congratulations on the well being of the people, at a time when there are upwards of 600,000 persons out of employ iu London alone, must be a little out of place. Surely, when thousands upon thousands are entreating at the hands of government or private benevolence the means to enable them to emigrate from this iand of mili and honey, where they cannot gain their daily bread and where ind us — honest indastry—ia not alwaye “productive,” it is an «ili chosen time to felicitate ourselves upon the nation’s contentment and well being. T mentioned in one of my former letters the fast that the Times was thoronghly allied to Palmerston. There is vow no doubt that that Soornal is regularly retatsed by tho government. Witness one or two “signe of the times,” (pardon the wretchedness cf the pan,) to illustration of my povition —The world was wondering what on earth Palmerston woul do with his majority im the House of Commoas, ome sald his lordship was concocting a grea echeme of refurm at Broadlands, while the gay Premier was merely disporting bimeelf in the salons of Louton. Some intimated that he would laugh bimeelf throagh his ditticutties ; whilst others bomoaned bis lordship’s altered appearance, and retailed scandal! about the new color of my lord's whiskers ond Aden abstinence from hair dye, During this period the Cimes was the sure baromoter tothe observant af coming political events, People talked of amenriment in the francise, the ballot, qualideations of rt, &0., ke, Tho Timet denounced or quietly down, every echeme. As time went on this polit! cal barometer indicated that ‘(ministers would not «qian der away ite small modicum of time ia a wild etfurt at Parllowentary reform.” “That must hang over for a time,” says this certain index of coming eve Aud ¥ Fat follows? The Qaocn’s speech and Lord Palmerstin's declaration, when defeat stared bim in the face, that the time was too short to mature a comprebensive measure durirg the present session of Parliament, but that if the house would permit the matter to “hang over” govern ment would bring forth ® bill next year!
