After the investiture, her Majesty was pleased to invest Sir William Woods with the Badge of Garter, and to deliver to him the Sceptre of Garter Principal King of Arms. By desire of her Majesty, a splendid bust of herself was placed in the sitting room of the Duchess of Kent, on the occasion of her Royal Highness's birth-day on Friday last, as a token of filial affection to her august mother. The Duchess of Kent was greatly affected by this new proof of regard, when ahe entered her breakfast room that morning. His Royal Highness Prince George jof Cambridge is expect- ed to leave for Gibralter the latter end of this mouth. Friday was the birth-day of the Duchess of Kent. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge came to town from Kew, and paid congratulatory visits to her Royal Highness at Buckingham Palace. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester also visited the Royal Duchess. The Marquess of Anglesey will remain at the Castle, at Cowes, for three weeks longer, and then return to Uxbridge House. The marriage of Lady Mary Paget to the Earl of Sandwich will take place in the first week of next month. The Marchioness of Anglesey is still, we regret to say, seri- ously indisposed. Professor Whewell has been elected to the Cambridge Pro- fessorship of Causuistry, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Barnes, master of St. Peter's College. The post-office authorities, it is said, have lately taken to weigh all gold coin paid in by letter-carriers and have thrown upon their hands many sovereigns and half-sovereigns not of full weight. The first issue of shillings with the impress of our young Queen was made on Saturday afternoon from the Mint. Only a limited number of this coin, which bears an exceedingly hand- some profile of her Hajesty, by Wyon, have as yet been issued. In a few days the issue will be general. In the course of an inquest held on Thursday, on the body of a person who was found drowned in the Surrey Canal, it was stated by a juryman that upwards of three thousand persons had been drowned in the canal since its formation. It is said that the Great Western Railway Company have applied the principle of the electrical telegraph to convey sig- nals on the railway from one station to another, thus announc- ing the approach of trains and giving time for the removal of obstructions. A vein of rich copper ore has been discovered upon the pro- perty of Mr. O'Connell, at Caherscevine, On the mines of Bereheaven and Castletown, Kerry, there are 600 men employ- ed.—Limerick Chronicle. By a report to the House of Lords, it appears that there are 1,119 turnpike trusts in England and Wales, the debts upon which amount to 7,304,803, being 358i. per mile,guaranteed by 3,783 acts of parliament, obtained at an expense of 1,500,0001. The two Gas Companies of Bristol and Clifton have each reduced their gas to 9s. per 1000 feet: this, with their former reduction of 35., makes a total reduction of 6s. per 1000 feet within the short space of two years. It is stated that the existence of coal, on the Malvern Loll ge Estate, near Malvern, has been ascertained, and that a com- pany is to be formed to work it-if a field of coal worth work- ing can be found on the spot mentioned, it will be a most im- portant discovery, as well as a very surprising one to every geologist. Recently Mr. Lamb, ofYoughal, rode his splendid bay horse from that town to Cork, a distance of thirty-eight English miles, in two hours and eighteen minutes, winning the wager [;)001.) in sporting style, having twelve minutes to spare. Large and valuable veins of iron ore have been discovered -< ot"the 'g 11 1\ Bart., and they are to be forthwith worked, and the ore sent into Monmouthshire. The expense of making the Birmingham and London Rail- way will average about 45,0001. per mile; the Midland, 20,0001.; the Birmingham and Liverpool, 20,0001.; the Bir- mingham and Derby, 18,0001. The Secretary at War will, early next session, bring in a bill by which the British militia is to be rendered an efficient force, and a complete nursery for the regular army, as well as a rural police, and that all recruiting parties at present employed are to be called ir, which will add nearly 5,000 men and officers to the present strength of the army. The yeomanry who receive pay are to be entirely disbanded, and the saving on that head and the recruiting staff, which is very considerable, will be ade- quate to pay and keep up a constitutional, militia force, which will at all times be available in keeping up the line, by volun- teers, to whom it is intended to allow a bounty of £3 3s. a man.- The "wonderful American diver" has been astonishing the good people of Newport by his extraordinary and terrific plun- ges for the last two days. On Friday last, he leapt from the topmast of the Prince Regent in the river at high tide, uid on Thursday, he sprang into 4 feet of water from the Bridge. Ou both occasions immense crowds witnessed and applauded the daring feats of this superlative Jim Crow. It is reported that the queen intends to make Brighton her winter residence, and that her majesty and the court generally may be expected here about the 9th of Noyember.-Brightoll Gazette. Messrs Curling and Young, of Limehouse, the builders of the British Queen steam-vessel, have began building a steam- ship, which, when completed, is to be of two thousand tons burden consequently she will carry four hundred tons more than the British Queen she is not to be so long as that vessel, but much wider. At the seat of Lord Lyttleton, at Hagley, a bazaar was held in order to increase the funds for building a new church, to- wards which the sum of 1,4501. was raised.

A female dwarf has lately died in the London hospital, of the extremlv small height of 31 inches; whist her parents are tall and well proportioned. She was in her 22nd year of her age. Her health had been good, thought her intelects were weak, and her death resulted from a fall. The Pavilion at Brighton, by the direction of the Commis- sioners of Woods and Forests, has been ordered to be renova- ted for the reception of the Queen and Court but their arrival at Brighton will not take place till the end of the en- suing month. We believe we may now state as a certainty that the Marquis of Clanricarde is to be the British Ambassador to the Court of Russia. Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, M.P. for Southwark, is to be appointed registrar of hackney carriages under the new act for the better regulation of these conveyances within the metro- politan district. Several of the Yorkshire rivers have been overflowed by the late rains and much hay has been irrevocably lost in conse- quence of the Hoods. The appointment of the son of Mr. Spring Rice, a youth of three or four and twenty, to the Commissionership of Excis e, has excited very general disgust. It is felt that an office of this kind should not have been bestowed on a young gentleman of whom nothing is known but his parentage. When there are so many old friends of the Liberal cause, of proved aptitude for business, neglected, it is most offensive to see an appoint- ment suitable for them so misbestowed.—Examiner. A numerous meeting of the members of the North American Colonial Association was held on Wednesday, at their office in Leadenhall street, at which a series of resolutions expressing their entire confidence in the line of policy adopted by Lord Durham were unanimously agreed to. We are happy to learn that it is the intention of Lord Pal- merston, during the recess, to employ all the power of the Government in taking effectual measures against the revival of the slave trade. England alone is capable of the sustained energy necessary for the eradication from among mankind of the course of slavery; and on the zeal of our Government we found our only certain hope of ultimate success. The Court removed on Saturday from Buckingham Palace to Windsor. The Lords, by insisting on the retention of an amendment introduced by them into the Registration of Electors Bill, have succeeded in procuring the rejection of this salutary measure by the House of Commons. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill w 11, it is now settled, come into operation on the I st of October next. Previous to the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway there were no more than 146,000 passengers in the year travelling between the two places. by coaches, whereas the present number, by railway alone, exceeds 500,000 The Anniversary of the Peterloo massacre was celebrated at Manchester on Thursday week, with the usual demonstrations of Ultra-Radical sentiments. The meeting consisted of about 5,000 persons, and the speakers called on them to meet and commemorate such men as the immortal Hunt, Cartwrieht, Cobbett, and other h Ties." and to support such men as Mr. John Fielden, M.P. for Oldham, and Mr. Attwood, of Bir- mingham.
Imperial Parliament.
Imperial Parliament. WEDNESDAY. HOUSE OF LORDs.The Royal Assent was given by Com- mission to the Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill, Church Dignitaries Appointment Suspension Bill, and the Tithes Com- position Bill. Viscount MELBOURNE presented petitions from Bristol and Manchester against the operation of the Beer Act. Mr. BERNAL from the Commons, brought up the Valuation of Lands (Ireland) Bill, and several other Bills, the amend- ments in which were agreed to. The imprisonment for Debt Bill, and the Sheriffs Court (Scotland) Bill were also brought up by Mr. Bernal, who stated that the House of Commons did not insist upon their amendment to either of these Bills. A conference took place with the Commons, relative to the amendments made by their Lordships on the Court of Session Scotland Bill. On the return of the conference, the Earl of Shaftesbury stated that the Commons had agreed to all the amendments but one, and on the motion of the Noble Earl, their Lordships declined insisting upon that amendment. A conference also took place with the House of Commons, relative to the amendments made by their Lordships on the Registration of Electors BilL The Earl ofShaftesbury, stated that they had agreed to some of the amendments and disagreed to others. Lord MELBOURNE moved that their Lordships should not insist upon the amendment objected to by the Commons. The n"i"tnILt¡¡l¡' uj' ElxcLlan-; But" Luiil 1j I thought their Lordships ought to press in their amendment. The House then divided, when there appeared, For the Clauses as amended. 88 Against them 55 Majority in favour of the Clauses as amended by their Lordships 30 Mr. BERNAL, brought up the Canada Indemnity Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—The Canada Indemnity Bill was read a third time and passed. THURSDAY. HOUSE OF LORDS.—The prorogation of Parliament took place this day. Owing to the doubt which prevailed up to a late hour on Wednesday night whether it would not be post- poned until Friday, the streets leading to the houses of Parlia- ment were not so crowded as on former occasions. At twelve o'clock the gallery of the House of Lords was opened. The only peers then in the house were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Lyndhurst. Prayers having been read by the Bishop of Hereford. Lord LYNDHURST gave judgment in the case of Scott v. Jones, confirming the opinion of the Master of the Rolls, and reversing the decision of the late Lord Chancellor. Ihe Lord CHANCELLOR gave judgment in the case of Gray r. Forbes, sending back the case for rehearing. Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition from the Cham- ber of Commerce of the city of Bristol, praying for protec- tion to commerce abroad; and that the house would take mCTKIr0S t0 Preserve inviolate the rights of British subjects. The Lord CHANCELLOR presented the fourth report of the poor-law commissioners of England and Wales. Mr. Steuart and others from the Commons brought up copies of the minutes of evidence taken before the postage committee. c At one o'clock the side and end galleries were completely filled with ladies; the latter-that usually reserved for strangers was crowded to excess; and, so eager was the anxiety of the fair spectators to get a full view of all that passed in the body of the house, that wherever there was a vacant space in the front row (which is always set apart for reporters) they quickly and unhesitatingly took possession of it. At this early hour few peeresses had arrived. At half past one the foreign ambassadors made their appearance and took their places, as usual, behind the episcopal bench. Amon <^st them were Prince Esterhazv, the Austrian, Prussian, Hanover- ian, Russian, Turkish, and Dutch ambassadors, with their attaches. It was now two o'clock, and the peeresses began to occupy in (púck succession the seats reserved for them. There were few peers present; and all those who were in the house easily found accommodation on the front rows at each side and on the cross benches the whole of the remaining space being given up to the peeresses. Amongst the peers who at this time entered the house were the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Norfolk, Viscount Melbourne, Mar- quis ofLallsdowne, and LordGlenelg. At a quarter before two the Princess Augusta and the Priucts* :Iuhc.1lohe took thvir cstuts immediately in front 01 the throne. The house was now full in every part, and the scene which presented itself was of that grand and imposing kind of which language cannot convey any but a very vague and indefinite idea. We shall, therefore, not attempt to de- scribe it, but merely say, that in all its compouent parts, in the splendid appearance of the peers in their robes of state, in the beauty and noble bearing of the peeresses and their female friends, whose natural charms are, if possible, enchanced by the most becoming and magnificent costume which art can devise, and in the rich and varied uniforms of the ambassadors, this assembly was unsurpassed by any of those which pre- ceded it. At half-past two o'clock the firing of guns and flourish of trumpets announced the arrival of her Majesty, who shortly afterwards entered the house, preceded by the heralds and great officers of state, and attended by the Duchess of Suther- land, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the other ladies of the household. The Queen wore her crown, a splendid robe of white satin richly trimmed with gold lace, and the crimson velvet state mantle, with a broad band of gold lace round the hem, and decorated with gold cord and tassels. Her Majesty also wore a necklace, stomacher, and earrings of large brilli- ants. The crown is exceedingly handsome and fitted her Majesty exactly, without concealing her broad and well de- veloped forehead. Though we have already referred to the sameness and inadequacy by which the description of this spectacle must be necessarily characterised we are concious that there is one topic of enduring interest the omission of which our readers would not very complacently bear and that is the appearance of her Majesty. To her fond and de- voted subjects, whose concern for her happiness is so deep and unequivocal, it will, we are sure, be a gratifying announcement that her Majesty looked in excellent health. She walked up the passage to the throne with a firm yet graceful step and when she ascended it her figure struck us as being taller and fuller than it seemed to be at the opening of Parliament. Her clear complex ion and the glow of health which suffused her features, beaming at once with youthful beauty and great intellectual power, formed a striking contrast to the pallid faces of the peers and peeresses by whom she was surrounded and whose appearance is certainly not improved in the one case by having gone through the performance of senatorial duties, and in the other by having kept very fasliionable hours. Her Majesty read her speech in an admirable manner. Her voice is clear, flexible, and musical, and her enunciation distinct and deliberate. Not a word, not a syllable of the speech was lost by her auditory, who listened with breathless attention. In that part of it which referred to Canada, and in which a con- fident hope is expressed that "firm and judicious measures" will restore a constitutional form of Government, her Majesty laid a slight yet marked emphasis on the words which we have quoted. The passage which relates to a provision for the desti- tute poor of Ireland her Majesty delivered in a touching tone and manner, which showed that her heart was keenly sensi- tive to the distresses and sufferings to which she alluded. She also feelingly referred to the addition made to the allowance of her beloved mother". When she came to that part in which the "Gentlemen of the House of Commons" are addressed she raised her voice without the least appearance of straining to a higher key than that in which she had previously spoken, and the attention of her hearers she continued to rivit to her words until she ceased reading. The Usher of the Black Rod having summoned the Com- mons, The SPEAKER immediately proceeded to address her Majesty as follows:- Most Gracious Majesty,-We, your faithful Commons, ap- proach your Majesty, at the close of a laborious, and unusually protracted session of Parliament. The serious disturbances which unhappily broke out in the province of Lower Canada, demanded our immediate attention. It was our first care to place at the disposal of your Majesty such means as we deemed to be indispensable for the restoration of order and the mainte- nance of future tranquillity. In considering, as it was our duty to do, the causes which led to these deplorable events, we found that the discord which had so long existed between the dif- ferent branches of the government and legislature, had rendered it impossible to conduct public affairs with that efficiency and harmony, which were essential to the prosperity and safety of that province. Under this conviction, we felt that it was neces- sary to interpose, by adopting a vigorous and decisive measure; and we have passed an act suspending, for a limited time, the constitution of Lower Canada, and have given large and ex- tensive means to be exorcised under the control of your Majesty, and on the responsibility of your ministers. We are conscious that such a measure can only be defended by the deepest con- viction of its necessity, and we anxiously look for our justifica- tion in the early re-establishment of the free institutions of that important colony, with such amendments as mav best secure the happiness of its people, as well as cement its union with the mother country. Among the subjects recommended to our con- sideration in your Majesty's gracious speech on the opening of Parliament, there wa snone that presented greater difficulties, or which demanded more care or circumspection, than the provi- sion to be made for the destitute in Ireland. We felt that no measure for the introduction of a poor-law into a country cir- cumstanced as Ireland is, with respect to the number and con- dition of its population, could be proposed without incurring heavy responsibilitj"; but looking at the example of what had been done on this subject by former Parliaments with respect to England we thought that the time was come, when we mhrbt legislate for Ireland with safety, and with a reasonable hope of success. e have firmly adhered to these principles, which have been sanctioned by general concurrence and by experience • but we have not carried them further than was necessary to give them a fair chance of success, and to meet the present exi- gency of the case. If the execution of this most important law shall be watched over and guided by the same prudent and im. partial spirit which governed our deliberations in its enactment we confidently hope that the benefits which it is calculated to confer will be gradually develoved, that it will be found to bc- just towards all who are affected by its provisions, and that it will eventually be the means of greatly improving the comforts and the habits of the people of Ireland. We have passed an act for the abolishing compositions for tithes in Ireland and have substituted rent-charges, payable by those who have a perpetual interest in the land. The exaction of tithes from those who were either unable or who refused to pay has been a fruitful source of strife, alike injurious to the public peace, and the real interests of the church. We have given the strongest proof of our desire to extinguish those evils, and to procure present repose and tranquillity, by making a liberal and muni- ficent grant to indemnify, in certain cases, those to whom arrears of composition for tithes are due. We have mitigated the severity of the law, and the sufferings of the unfortunate, by abolishing, in certain cases, imprisonment for debt; and we have endeavoured to increase the usefulness of the church, by abolishing the holding of benefices in plurality, and by mak insr better provision tf>»» TxaLlorw* "f thf. clcrtrr. In vussiii" these measures, we have again recorded our conviction that the surest way to maintain respect for our laws and attachmenv to our institutions, is by gradually introducing such amend- ments as are most likely to recommend them to the improving opinions, and increasing knowledge of the educated classes of the community. We have made provision with liberality, but without improvidence, for the necessary expenditure of the year, as also for those additional expenses arising from the events in Canada. I have now, on the part of the Commons, to present our last Bill of Supply, to which, with all humility, we pray your Majesty's royal assent." The royal assent was then given to the following bills —The last Bill of Supply with the appropriation Clause, the Tin Duties Bill, the Canada Indemnity Bill, the Public Works Bill, the County Treasurers (Ireland) Bill, the Personal Dili- gence (Scotland) BilL, the Court of Session (Scotland) Bill, the Sheriffs Courts (Scotland Bill, and the St. Saviour's (Southwark) Grammar School Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR having delivered the speech to her. Majesty, she said Mu Lords and Gentltmen, The state of public business enables me to close this pro- tracted and laborious session. I have to lament that the civil war in Spain forms an ex- ception to the general tranquillity. I continue to receive from all foreign powers the strongest assurances of their desire to maintain with me the most amicable relatkns. The disturbances and insurrections which had, unfortu- nately, broken out in Upper and Lower Canada have been promptly suppressed, and I entertain a confident hope that firm and judicious measures will" empower you to restore a constitutional form of government, which unhappy events have compelled you for a time to suspend. I rejoice at the progress which has been made in my colo- nial possessions towards the entire abolition of negro appren- ticeship. 1 have observed with much satisfaction the attention which you have bestowed upon the amendment of the do- mestic institutions of the country. I trust that the mitiga- tion of the law of imprisonment for debt will prove at once favourable- fo the liberty of my subjects, and safe for com- mercial credit; and that the established church will derive increased strength and efficiency from the restriction of the grafting of benefices in plurality. 1 have great pleasure in giving my assent to the Bill for the Relief of the Destitute Poor in Ireland. I cherish the expectation that its provisions have been so cautiously framed, and will be so prudently executed, that whilst they contribute to relieve distress, they will tend to preserve order, and to encourage habits of industry and exertion. I trust likewise that the act which you have passed relating to the composition for tithe in Ireland will increase the security of that property, and promote internal peace. Gentlemen of ihe Houst oj Commons, I cannot sufficiently thauk you for your dispatch and liberality in providing for the expenses of im household, and the maintenance of the honour and dignity of the Crown. I out-! you my >vuiHi'si ,itr. for r.1 which you have made to the income of my beloved mother. I thank you for the supplies which you have voted for the ordinary public service, as well as for the readiness with which you have provided means to meet the extraordinary expenses rendered necessary by the state of my Canadian possessions. My Lords and Gentlemen, The many useful measures which you have been able to consider, while the settlement of the Civil List and the state of Canada demanded so much of your attention, are a satis- factory proof of your zeal for the public good. You are so well acquainted with the duties which now devolve upon you in your respective counties, that it is unnessary to remind vou of them. In the discharge of them you may securely rely upon my firm support, and it only remains to express an humble hope that Divine Providence may watch over us all, and prosper our united efforts for the welfare of our country. The Lord CHANCELLOR announced that the Parliament stood prorogued till Thursday, 11 th October. Immediately afterwards her Majesty and her attendants quitted the house, all the peers and peeresses standing, and returned to the palace in the same order as before. HOUSE OF COMMONS. — Sir Robert Inglis after presenting some petitions, said that he hoped he might be allowed to take that opportunity of congratulating the right hon. gentleman in the chair, and the house generally, on the termination of a session of almost unexampled duration, toil and fatigue. He found that the house had now sat 173 days, during which no less than 1,134 hours had been occupied with public business -a number which was unexampled in the annals of parliament, with the exception of a single year, in which the amount had been exceeded, partly on account of the morning sittings, which were then on trial, and partly owing to the lengthened discus- sions on the reform bill, which was pending that session. But if they compared the labours of the last session with those which their predecessors had to undergo, indeed, if they went back only so far as the reign of George IV, or the beginning of William IV, the contrast would appear most striking. In the first session after the accession of the former monarch the House of Commons had sat only 111 days. In the first session of William IV, they sat only 84 days and rolling this as it was rolled into the last session of George IV, still the united number of days only reached 107. The first session of the pre- sent century was the longest previous to the session just past, the number of days occupied in sitting being 132. He thought. the country must see with satisfaction the testimony of atten- tion to the duties of legislation exhibited in the numbers he had mentioned, but while he thought this, hecould not but feel also, that there was no circumstance connected with the session which would tend to give less satisfaction than the great num- ber of bills which had been introduced into that house within the last few weeks. No less than 64 new bills had been intro- duced since the 1st of July. He thought some correction of this evil deserving the gravest consideration on the part of the house. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT then, with one or two other mem- bers, gave notice of intentions to propose improvements of the poor-laws next session. Sir Francis also alluded to the spread of hydrophobia. Sir C. DOUGLAS next made a motion respecting the poor- laws. The hon. member concurred with Sir F. Burdett in re- gretting that nothing had been done on the subject of the new poor-law during the past session, and expressed his determina- tion of pressing the amendment of the existing system in the next session. Mr. EASTHOFE deprecated these ill-timed, vague, and mis- chievous, discussions on this most important subject-ill-timed. because they could lead to no practical result-mischievous, because, being vague, they were adapted to mislead and to in- crease the sufferings of the poor rather than to mitigate them. (hear, hear.) The only effect of them would be to excite false hopes, rather than to afford substantial relief (hear, hear.) To attempt to gain temporary popularity by such was unworthy and impolitic -The motion was not pressed, and was therefore negatived without a division. Lord MORPETH stated, in answer to a question from Mr. Shaw, that no poor-law commissioner for Ireland has yet been appointed. Soon after two o'clock the Commons proceeded to the House of Lords. On their return the Speaker read her Majesty's speech, and the members separated.

JUVENILE DELINQUENTS.—"The lapse of children into criminal habits is, in most cases," observes Mr. Williams, in his report as inspector of prisons, recently laid before parlia- ment, "attributable to the neglect of parents, and in others to their avocations compelling them to leave their offspring for a great portion of the day without protection. I look to the general extension of infant schools for the humbler classes as a most powerful preventative of juvenile delin- quency. The first determining future happiness or nusery. Where children have been left to run about the streets un- controlled, and have acquired the taste of au idle vagabond life, there is little hope of weaning them from it to pursuits of a more restrained nature. Keep children from the streets, and the temptations to which they are there exposed by the glaring display of gratifications in the shops and markets, until the moral distinctions of right and wrong are firniiy impressed upon their minds, and much good will be done to promote their welfare at a more advanced period of their Inc.
