: : — i — - ¦ - •¦•¦ ' - ¦ ; — " ~ : THE QUEEN'S-SPEECH . ' 'r . - ¦ ¦ ____ ¦ " Blessed are they who expect nothing , for verily they shall not be disappointed . " It appears , that the journalists who stood sponsors for . ) -tjie . . "Whi g Ministry , and promised , all manner of good things to theiiation in their name , have been too fast . Their proteges mean to do nothing , if they can help it . Meagre , unmeaning , and unsatisfactory as
Royal Speeches proverbially are , that delivered by the Loud Chancellor on Thursday , puts a climax upon all former compositions of the kind , Its whole scope and essence may be compressed into one sentence : — "We mean to maintain things as they are ; two or three small remanets from last Session will be reintroduced , but , beyond that , our views do not extend ; our policy is summed up ia two words — 'Let alone '" .
Upon one subject only , is the Speech in any degree explicit ; there is to be no yielding on the subject of Protection— an abundant , and low-priced supply of provision is pointed to as the result of the Free Trade policy , and though that abundance and cheapness is produced at the cost of the landlords and farmers of this country , their sufferings ' and . losses arc uot to aftect an Imperial pjlicy—Free Trade is still to be the rule .
But on . the great questions of the Suffrage , Colonial Policy , and Financial ' . Reform , the Speech is silent , leaving us to infer ; that the rumours on these subjects , which ascribed to the Ministry an intention to deal more or less vigorously with them , were unfounded . There is , indeed , an allusion to the number of electors for Irish Members of Parliament ; but that is all , and that is nothing new . For the last two or three Sessions , the rapid diminution of electors ; the defects and complications of the Electoral Qualification in Ireland , and the
almost certainty , that in a short time electors would become all but extinct , has caused even the Whigs to consider the propriety of altering the existing system . But that is a -widely different matter from taking up the broad and important principle which is mooted by the unenfranchised masses , with the view of making a , t least some concession to the popular demands . ¦ ¦ ¦ : : . . In like manner , the only allusion to Colonial policy .. is the promise that the measure . with reference to : ¦ . . tho Australian Colonies , which was introduced last Session and withdrawn ,
will again bo brought forward . Ministers seem to be utterly oblivious of the fact , that at-the present moment nearly the whole ^ of our colonies are in a stateof open , or incipient revolt ; and that a powerful and influential party , composed of the leading men of almost every political party in this Kingdom , are determined to have the question settled , on a basis at once satisfactory to the . Colonies and beneficial to the Mother Country . .
With reference to the financial part of the matter , all we are told is , that Her Majesty sees with great satisfaction the state of the revenue . Indeed , the whole of the document wears the aspect of having beeu tho result of a compromise . Rather than have an open split iu the Cabinet on the disputed points , it would appear that they resolved to say nothing at all , and trust to the chapter of chances for getting through tlio Session , doing as little as possible , and simply presenting a passive resistance to all demands for reform .
. We are very much mistaken if this policy will secure that tenure of place which is its main object . The two questions of the Franchise and the Colonies , are ripe and ready for settlement . They must be dealt with by some party or other ; and tho nation will not submit to have a set of obstructives in power , whose policy may lead to , those convulsions in this country which they congratulate us on having
hitherto escaped—while they have shaken the States of the Continent within thelasttwoyears . It is the dogged , stupid , and unreasoning" resistance of officials to timely and reasonable reforms , which are the proximate cause of all violent revolutions . Insteadofallowingtheeurrent of popular opinion to flow calmly and naturally , these opponents of progress build up dums and weir * at every poisible point , until .

at last , ¦ the accumulated \ . waters . beepme tqo powerful—Jbnrat through ; jthe > puny and opppgirig barriers ; and spread ' destruction -where otherwise they : would hare diffused ^ enefits .-0 'i For -the last-fifty-yearsi and ; more , i . tiie . guestion ipf ! the Suffrage has been agitated and debated . : ) Since the days . of ; Majdr . CARTWKlGHT dott'lteards , there lias been aregular succession ^ F able a ^ dr : disinterested -patriots , who Have made it their rallying-cry , and , endured obloquy , persecution , fine , and imprisonment , for . its advocacy . . Not in vain have been their efforts and their sufferings . ^ The ; national
mind is thoroughly fermented with the great political truths of which they were the exponents and advocates . The principles of tho People ' s Charter Const itute the political creed of tho nation . ' If Lord John Russell , or any other Member of his Cabinet , doubts that fact ; let him or them attend any public meeting that may bo called on this subject from Pen ' zancc to John 0 'Groats . Even if that meeting is ' called by the middle-class Suffragists—who stop short of the demands contained in the Charter—his Lordship will find that the feeling is decidedly Chartist .
Every . allusion to that document is hailed with applause , of the enthusiasm and sincerity of which there can be no doubt : and though the leaders of the National Reform Association do not , professedly , advocate the principles of the Charter , ' it is evident that the hearts of many of them arc with it . At the immense meeting which assembled tliis week , to ., hoar , Mr . Geo . Thompson ' s 4 nnual statement to his constituents , in the Tower Hamlets , Sir Joshua Walmsley distinctly stated , that there was , no principle ; iu a Household , or Rating Suffrage ... ' If there was any principle ; at all ; it was that of a Manhood Suffrage ; and
though he added that he didinpt stand there to . advbcate Manhood Suffrage that night , the declaration was made in a tone which -indicated that -he was not indisposed , ; to dp so . Perhaps Lord John ' s continued . resistance may'drive him to that point .. ' ^ . ; - ¦ ' Itns : impossible to imagine upon' what ground the' reasonable demands of the people can be refused . Accustomed ' as we are in this country to public meetings and discussionsto the management of municipal , county , and parish business—familiar as the masses are with the use of those constitutional weapons which are the best mode of conductiusr local
and national , affairs in peace and reason , why should they be excluded from a voice in the Imperial Legislature ? If on the Continent the enfranchisement of whole nations , whose political education cannot for a moment be compared with our own , has not led to the results predicted by those who oppose investing the people with the franchise , what reason can there be for denying that right here ? In truth , the question will not bear arguing . Both justice and expediency require the concession of the rights of the people forthwith . Continued resistance on the part of the present , or any ; other administration , will but add force to the movement for political emancipation . '
In the > meantime , the country now knows What it has to expect from the Whigs , if they are allowed to continue iu office and take their own way . Lord John is resolutely determined to carry out the principle of ministerial non-responsibility and do-notlaugism , which ho avowed some time since . It is no business of his to bring forward large and comprehensive measures for itlio benefit of the mother country or the . colonies . " The whole art and mystery of : Government consists in _ letting things take- their own course , and pocketing the salary quarterly . All that the people have to do with it , is to pay their taxes and keep quiet . ' ., ' The Times , t \ ie other day , coolly ^ assured the country , that there was really nothing to do thw Session , with the exception of one or two sanitaryjneasures , everything was in a most satisfactory condition . No doubt it wrote upon instructions from Downing-street . I gave an exposition of tho ministerial mind upon the subject . Wo shall try , by-and-bye , to convince both the Minister and his journal of their mistake .

just'and pro . per ; relationship between the two , and introducing a rational and unfettered currency , all classes might be greatly benefited , and a ¦ career of uninterrupted prosperity secured for the country . ' That which is now boasted of by the organs of the manufacturers , will be as short-lived as other seasons of prosp erity under their system have been . ' In the usual course , stagnation and glut will follow the present '' prosperity . " Mills will be throwa idle , or work short time , and the thousands who are made wholly dependent on the demand in foreign markets be reduced to beggary and starvation , by causes over which they have not the slig htest control . :
In the meantime there is little doubt that , while there is no prospect of commercialism affording any safe and permanent security for the due employment , and welfare of the whole people , the existing home market will , to a gveat extent , be destroyed . It is all very well for Mr . Cobden . and Sir Robert Peel—both ; , of whom have plenty , of ready money to fallback upon—to say they will reduce tlic . irrents ( and others must do so too . Qthers . ; are / riot in the same position ; they are burdened with mortgages ,
settlements , and , jointures '; , ; and , as mere tenants for life , have , in ' - many cases , barel y the means of living in the style they have been accustomed , to . Already , in many cases , they are reducing their establishments , and looking forward to positivo poverty . The tradesmen with whom they deal ¦ will , of course , suffer next . The farmers are , very generally , reducing wages . In some parts of Hants and Wilts , they have been cut down to Gs . and 7 s .
This , again , must react upon the village shopkeepers and tradesmen . In fact , the mere system of ' . 'lot alone" will not do . ' There must be an equitable adjustment of the claims of all parties . No one class must be allowed to rob another , under the pretence' that they are thereby advancing the public good ; and all reforms , which proceed upon the assumption that the ruin and loss of some ' great " interest" is necessary , deserve condemnation at the outset .
There are , in this country , land , labour , skill , and capital , sufficient to enable , us to produce wealth in abundance for four times our present population . If our statesmen—instead of encouraging' this insane struggle between the agricultural and the manufacturing interests—> were to' devise means by which this wealth could be so produced , and then equitably distributed for the benefit of all parties , they would be better employed than they now are . Government would then become a science ; at present it is a quackery , and the great Exhibition of , 3 851 , will be merely the Vanity Failat which its quackery will be Bhown off .

Disastrous Affair on the , GAMciA .- —The following is an extract from a letter of an officer of the 2 d West India Regiment , — " Bat hurst , Gambia , Dec . 21 , 1849 . — " About ^ yj monthsago a vessel belonging to a merchant here was trading down the ; coast , near Biasso , about 100 miles to the south of us , wlieh the vessel was seized by a parfy of _ black fellows . - -who turned cut to be pirates , inhabiting an island at the-mouth of the River . Sebiu Some pt the crew were shot , one ot whom was a irenchman . The Governor here wrote an account to the Governor of Senegal , who sent a . small man-of-war steamer , with ssmie rearines ; to assist . us iu punishing these scoundrels , ami retaking the " vessel . The day after she arrived here one of our vessels , the Teazcr , came
in ; so the Governor determuied on sending her with the Frenchman and a few of our men . The day after this the Commodore arrived in'the Centaur steam-frigate quite by chance . It was now arranged that they eh-. uld all go down . He had a number of marines on board , and , with sixty of our men , under CantaiR Hill , and Lieutenants M * Court and M'Laughlen ; sailed for this place . The action was very short . As well as I can make out , the outline is as follows : — " The Teazar and the Ruby ( Frenchman j having gone up the creek where the island is situated ,, anchored off tlie p ' ace where they were to land . The Centaur , beingtoo large to come up so far , sent up her boats ' , twtlve in number , while she remained about three miles down . Captain Buckle of the' Centaur , and Lieutenant Selffyn , commauder of the Te&zer , then went in advance of the other boats near the shere , intending to demand the restitution of ( he vessel together with ; the men
who murdered the crew , when he was fired at . The ball took effect on Mr . Young , midshipman of the Centaur , dangerously wounding him in the breast . The Teazer and Ruby , together with the boats that had cannon , then opened a furious cannonade , which lasted nearly half-an-hour . The natives stood it without answering a shot . They then attempted to land from the boats , however the first that came near the bush which they had to pass tliroush " , received a volley which took great effect , killing Lieutenant Crocket , commanding the marines , and dangerously wounding eight others ( sailors and marines . ) They then withdrew , and our men landed , without further opposition , and aftev beating , about for some time , returned to 'their . vessels . The first boat was the only one under fire , unless you reckon the shot that wounded Young , and this single : shot and the volley was theonly firing from the enemv . 'lhs next day the party went ten milesup . the creek , and recovered the vessel without . tyiiQSiUun or seeing a man . Thu » ended the affair . ' -

COMMERCIAL QUACKERIES . In the year 1851 it is proposed to have a great Exhibition of the Products of tlio Industry of all Nations . Piunce Albert suggested the idea , and it has been pretty warmly supported by the persons engaged in the staple manufactures of the country . . Such exhibitions hare long taken place periodically in Frauce and in the Ui ) ited States , but they were confined , exclusively to native productions . Tho novelty of the English Exhibition is its universality .. The manufacturers and handicraftsmen of all nations are invited to compete with those of our own for the honour ,
and the prizes to be awarded to those who produce tho most superior articles in the various departments of industry . The Exhibition is an appropriate peindent to the Free Trade policy which is now dominant in this country . ¦ Our Rulers and the Majority of the Legislature , believe that it is only by extended and increasing competition with other countries that this nation can be made and kept prosperous . In arming themselves for the commercial contest they contemplate . waging , it is of importance that th ' ey should beable accurately to estmiate ; the' poiyer against which they will have to contend , and to ascertain in what points their strength arid weakness may lie .
But though it may be perfectly natural for the'Free Traders of Great Britain to -wish for such an Exhibition , the question may arise in other countries , hpu' far it may be prudent in them to accept the invitation . Whatever may be said by our Free Trade journals , that policy spreads but slowly . On the contrary , Protection to native industry yet constitutes the rule , and they may not feel very anxious to give the all-grasping Englishman the , advantage he seeks to obtain by this challenge to the productive and inventive skill of all nations .
Inferentially , the proposal raises the whole question of making nations mainl y dependent upon manufactures . We have , on various occasions , so fully . and explicitly expressed our decided hostility to the restoration of the . old Protectionist system , that there is no danger of our views being mistaken on that point . But we are not , therefore , to be enrolled . in the ranks of the fashionable Free Trade manufacturing- party . On the contrary , we are of opinion that the policy of that party , if fully carried ont ^ will be ultimately more destructive of the best and highest interests of the
country than Protectionism itself . All experience shows that , -whenever the continuance of national existence and prosperity was based upon commerce—the power and wealth of that nation has been fleeting and temporary . . From the days of Tyre and Sidon , down to those of the once proud but now faded Venice , tho history of purely commercial communities has been that of a sudden rise , followed by as speedy a fall . The natural and solid foundation for national greatness , can only be found in the full developement of bur own soil and resources . The larger the number of persons who can be employed in its cultivation , the more
permanent will be its prosperity . We'have no faith whatever in the theories of that most selfish and short-sighted party , who believe that . it would be better for us if England did not grow a single blade of grass , and who reckon our greatness and happiness solely by the quantity of exports and imports . By the very nature of things , all foreign markets are precarious and uncertain . Nationg successively pass through certain stages of progress . Manufactures form a portion of that . progress ; and , in proportion as population increases , become more and more developed . Many of the markets wo supplied at the cbminencemt ^ t of the century have , through this cause , ceafa'sd
