Parliamentary Analysis.

" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN , " The numerous and important questions which have in the present , as in the two preceding years , been submitted to your consideration , have imposed upon you the necessity of extraordinary exertions ; and it is with a deep sense of the care and labour which you have bestowed upon the public businessthat I at length close this protracted session

, , and release you from your attendance . "I continue to receive from all foreign powers assurances of their friendly disposition . " The negociations , on account of which the Conferences in London upon the affairs of the Low Countries were suspended , have not yet been brought to a close : and I have still to lament the continual postponement of a final settlement between Holland and Bel gium .

" On the other hand , I have derived the most sincere and lively satisfaction from the termination of the civil war which had so long distracted the kingdom of Portugal ; and I rejoice to think that the Treaty which the state of affairs in Spain and in Portugal induced me to conclude with the King of the French , the Queen Regent of Spain , and the Regent of Portugal , and which has already been laid before you , contributed materially to produce this happy result . " Events have occured in Spain to disappoint , for a time , the hopes of tranquility in that country , which the pacification of Portugal had

inspired . " To these events , so important to Great Britain , I shall give my most serious attention , in concert with France and the other Powers who are parties to the Treaty ofthe 22 nd of April ¦ and the good understanding which prevails between me and my Allies , encourages me to expect that our united endeavours will meet with success . " The peace of Turkey remains undisturbed , and trust that no event will happen in that quarter to interrupt the tranquility of Europe .

" I have not failed to observe with approbation that you have directed your attention to those domestic questions which more immediatel y affect the general welfare of the community , and I have much satisfaction in sanctioning your wise and benevolent intentions b y giving my assent to the Act for the amendment and better administration of the laws relating to the Poor in England and Wales . It will be my dutyto provide that the authority necessarily vested in Commissioners

nominated b y the Crown , be exercised with temperance and caution ; and 1 entertain a confident expectation that its prudent and judicious application , as well as the discreet enforcement of the other provisions of the Act , will , by degrees , remedy the evils which at present prevail ; and whilst they elevate the character , will increase the comforts , and improve the condition of my people . " The amendment of the law is one of your first and most important duties , and I-rejoice to perceive that it has occupied so much of your attention . The establishment of a Central Court for the trial of

offences m the metropolis and its neighbourhood will , I trust , improve the administration of justice within the populous sphere of its jurisdiction , and afford a useful example to every other part of the kingdom . " To the important subject of our Jurisprudence and of our Municipal Corporations , your attention will naturally be directed early in the next Session . You may always rest assured of my disposition to cooperate with you in such useful reformations .
