in the hope that the " noblemen and gentlemen '" of the county might grant what Provost Campbell had refused -, bnt here they met with similar treatment .

The deputation , ifter waiting near / our hourg , had to walk borfie ten or tuelix miits , in the midst of a severe
storm , Bitbout even an answer . These county nabobs had met for the purpose of considering the propriety of establishing a sirong county police , therefore they declared it to be " out of order" to consider the petition from the starving peeple of Glasgow .

When this picture is finished , we promise the abettors of the system they shall have a petition presented to them which they will not relish , nor treat with silence .

The Commissioners entered the House shortly before two o ' clock , and took their seats at the foot of the throne . The Lord Cha > cellor directed the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod to summon the House of Commons to the bar of their Lordships' House . The Speakkr of the House of Commons , attended by several of the Members , shortly afterwards appeared at the bar , and
The Lord Cha > cellor having informed the members of the House of Commons that it was not convenient for her Majesty to attend iu person to open this present Par ] lament , stated that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to issue her Royal Commission , authorising the Commissioners therein named , to do all things that might b 3 necessary for the opening of the Parliament . His Lordship direoted the Commission to be read . Tiie Clerk then read the Commission at length , The Lord Chancellor , in the name , and on behalf of her Majesty , read the following speech : — 11 My Lords and Gentlemen .
*• We . ire commanded by her Majesty to acquaint yon that her Majesty receives from all Princes and States assurances of a friendly disposition towards this country , aud of an earnest desire to co-operate with her Majesty in the maintenance of general peace . " By tbe treaty which her Majesty has concluded ¦ with the United States of America , and by the adjustment of theso differences which from their long continuance had endangered the preservation of peace , her Majesty trusts that the amicable relations of the two countries have been confirmed . " The increased exertions which by the liberality of Parliament her MajeBty was enabled So make for the termination of the hostilities with China have been eminently successful .
" The skill , valour , and discipline of the naval and military forces employed npon this service have been most conspicuous , and have led to the conclusion of peace upon the terras proposed by her Majesty . " Her Majesty rejoices in the prospect that by the free access which will bs opened to the principal marts of that populous and extensive empire ,, encouragement will be given to the commercial enterprise of her people . " As soon ai tbe ratifications of tbe treaty shall have been exchanged , it will be laid before you . * ' In concert with her allies , her Majesty has succeeded in obtaining for tbe Christian population of Syria an establishment of a system of administration vbich they were entitled to expect from the engagements' ot the Sultan , and from the good faith of this country .
•• The difference for some time existing between tbe Turkish and Persian Governments had recently led to acts of hostility ; but as each of these states has accepted the joint mediation of Great Britain and Russia , Her Majesty entertains a confident hope that their mutual relations will be speedily and amicably adjusted .

" Her Majesty has concluded with the Emperor of Russia a treaty of commerce and navigation , which wilt be laid before you . Her Majesty regards this treaty with great satisfaction , as the foundation foi increased intercourse between Her Majesty ' s subjects and those of the Emperor . " Her Majesty is happy to inform you that complete success has attended the recent military operations in Afghanistan . " Her Majesty has tbe greatest satisfaction in recording her high sense ( of the ability with which those operations have been directed , and of the constancy and valour which have been manifested by the European and Native forces . " The suseuority of her Majesty ' s arms has been established by decisive victories on the scenes of former disasters ; and tbe complete liberation of her Majesty ' s subjects who were held ia captivity , and for whom her Majesty felt tbe deepest interest , has been effected . We are commanded by her Majesty to inform you that it has not been deemed advisable to continue the occupation by a military force of the countries to the westward of the Indus . " Gentlemen of the House of Commons , " Her Majesty has directed the estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before you . " Such reductions have been made in tbe amount of the naviil and military force as have been deemed compatible , under present circumstances , with the efficient performance of the public service throughout the extended empire of her Majesty . "Mv Lokds and Gentlemen ,
" Her Majesty rejjrets the diministe . 1 receipt from Borne 6 f the ordinary sources of the revenue . " Her Majesty fears that it must be in part attributed to the reduced consumption of many articles , caused by that depression of the manufacturfni ? industry of the country which has so long prevailed , and which her Majesty has so deeply lamented . " In considering , however , the present state of th& revenue , Her Majesty is assured that you will bear in mind that it has been materially affected by the extensive reductions in the Import Duties , which received your sanction during the Ia 8 t Session of Parliament , and that HttLe progress has been hitherto made in the collection of those taxes which were imposed for tbe purpose of the supplying the deficiency from that and other causes . " Her Majesty feels confident that the future produce of th « i revenue will be sufficient to meet every exigency of the public service .
" Her Majesty commands us to acqiaint you that Her Mujisty derived the utmost gratification from tbe loyalty and affectionate attachment to Her Majesty which were manifested on the occaaiou of Her Majesty's visit to Scotland . " Her Me j « sty regrets that in the course of last year the public peace in some of the manufacturing districts was seriously disturbed , and tbe Jives and property of her Majesty ' s subjects were endangered by tumultuous assemblages and acts of open violenc * . The ordinary law , promptly enforced , was sufficient for the effectual repression of these disordeis . Htr Majesty confidently relies upon its effic . icy , and upon tbe zsilous supportof hfr loyal and peaceable subjects for th& maintenance of tranquillity . " We are commanded by her Majesty to acquaint you that measures connected with the improvement of the lav ^ , and with various questions of domestic policy , will heisubmitted for your consideration .
" Her Majesty confitently relies on your zealous ' endeavour to promote the public welfare , and fervently I prays that the favour of D . vine Providence may direct J and prosper your counsels , and make them con- : ducive to the happiness and contentment of her people . " Tho Members of the House of Commons withdrew as soon as the reading of the Roy j , 1 Speech had been ; concluded , and the Cominisbionura then withdrew for the purpose of unrobing . On tho return of the Loud Chancellor , prayers were read by the Bishop of Chichester , and their i Lordships then adjourned to Five o'clock . j Their Lordships mmmed at five o ' clock , at which i hour the Loud Chancellor took hia seat upon the WooL-ack . Several notices of motions were then gjven .
THE ADDRESS .
