The Queen's Speech, published in small type, is accompanied by
tliS4Jeg's Speech, published in very large type. Lord Palmer- dress to his electors at Tiverton reviews, not without - -dignity, the success which has attended the six years of his Adminis- tration, the preservation of peace, the additional freedom given to capital and industry, the new trades opened out, the increase in the national wealth, the diminution of taxes, the restoration of the Navy, the application of science to ships and cannon, the con- ciliation of the British American Colonies, and the growing civili- VatiOn. of India. Every department except the Poor-law Board gets its pat, and then the Premier, after a necessary allusion to the Prince Consort, actually carries the birth of two Royal boys to the credit of his Administration, believing apparently that under Lord Derby they might possibly have been girls, and winds up with an expression of belief that his Ministry will be entitled in future to the good-will extended to it by the deceased Parliament, and a phrase which we think we have seen before in teadealers' circulars, "I respectfully and earnestly solicit from you a continuance of the confidence which for so many years has enabled me "—to offer all the best samples a little above cost price. Not one word is said of future policy or present situation, both perhaps being reserved for the day of nomination.
