npHE Queen ' s Speech bpens the session witli - a JL proinise of jjuntsuatly ihipOTtant business . Tlic iiiim ] ber of bills , indeed , which it spieinealt ^^ m ^^ tionsis ^ sinaiijvbut thei subjects \ rtiid ^ : are ; adumbrated involve interests of tlie greatest ; . importaircei will necessitate long and earnest debates , and ; must iiec essarily be ¦ followed up bj measure ' s of some kind , for \ vhich . evideiitl y ^ Ministers ; are prepared . The Qijeef began by referring especially to those conhnereial difficulties which have ' .. occasioned the
early sitting ; but theSpeech only jr ientibris the ihdeitinity Bill , Avhich Ministers ask for themselves and for the managers of the Bank ; . It Avas the GiriKCELTLOii of the Exchequer who announced the re-appointmerit of the committee on the Bank Charter Act . Again , yvitli regard to India ; tlie Speech refers to the revolt , to the conduct of the troops , of the officers and commanders , and of the civilians ; . ina manner "which , will give intense gratification to those \ vho have had to
encounter the dangers and labour , and it calls upon Parliament for its serious attention to the affairs of iicr Majesty ' s Ecist Indian dominions , but mentions ho specific measures ; the fact being evident that Ministers intend to ' . / consult Parliament ; , and have not predetermined the course of actioa that shall be talen . The announcement wliich will attract most domestic interest is , that the attention of Parliament will be called to our representative system , with a view to amendment—a Reform Bill . Lord Pai / merston has seen the wisdom of taking the first
opportunity for the first step towards the fulfilment of his pledge . The lav of real property , and some branches of the : criminal law , arc ; nlso to be amended ; and Lord John Russell , with the . understood sanction of Government , lias announced tlie reintroduction of his Jew Bill . The manner in which , the estimates arc announced is peculiar . Tliorc is not the usual mention of economy ; but tlicy will bo ' framed in strict accordance with the ciugcncics of the public service' A good deal will bo required of us this year .
In consequence of certain Ducal negotiations , it in not anticipated that Lord John Hussein ' s Oaths . Bill will this session bo rejected by the Upper House . Scrions dissatisfaction has been , created , Iiowcvct—even among those who are personally in-I crested in the issue — by Lord Palxkhston ' s abandonment of the principle as a . ^ Cabinet
question , and speculations are founded upon the eireuinstance : not very flattering to the Gbverhmeni ; \ : ^ ; ;¦ . Tliere " : ' , $ ras- . / another peculiarity' attending ; the ; opening of Parliament .. ' . It has beeii custbniary / . an .. act of courtesy ^ to / send copies of the ; Queen ' Speechto theleaders ; ofI the ; Pppositioh , wlip have , wliile the Ministers held ; Parliameiitary ^ dinners , held their anti-Cabinet dinner at the same tim e , in order to discuss tlie course of proicecding . in
Parliament . This year the {] eeremony ; had beeiv waived . . The \ copies : o £ the Speech have been sent as usuiaj ; but Lord DiiiiBy and Mr ; pisu . AEr . iha . tl no / vEatUiment ( iry " - -d ' iuiae ' i % ' - ' :- There is ^; apparently , no Opposition , or- at least the Opposition confesses that , it has ; to , a certain extehtj lost its consolidated and anti-official character . The iricident was trifling , lint it . was decidedly indicative of the state of parties . < .:: '¦' : i : ¦' ¦ '¦' . ' " ; . '' ' ¦¦; ' \ . - .-: ' -y- ' : /¦ '¦' : ¦ . - ¦¦;¦/ " ;¦ - " /;; ' ..
It \ yas , indeed , a sign ' - indicative of the opening night in both Houses , where the Opposition occupied the very feeblest ground . There were many evidences that the position of Lord Deub y and : Mi \ DisrAkEII had been carefully concerted between them v their speeches sho \ vcd it ,. . but they had nothing to pvbjosc . i'hey made it a matter of ptttriotism to support her Majesty * ^ Ministers ,
roserfmg to themselves only the right which they exercised of criticizing Ministers ; and we ha-ve nothing better than a minute literary criticism of the Speech from Lord Derby , and a repetition of old complaints about the y . se of steamers instead bf sailing-ships —grumbling with some force in it , . but stale , and of very negative statesmanship at best . In the House of Commons we had nothing but this sorfc of thing . In the House of Lords there was a little m ore . Lord
EUiENBORot / Gir stood forward to insist upon the warnings which lie had given beforehand , and to establish one of the most signiil .. mistake ' s whifjli have been alleged against Mr . Vernon Smith . As President of the Board of Control , he addressed a letter , so ruiis the story , asking the Peninsular and Oriental Stcum Navigation Company ' ¦ - . whether arrangements could not be made for carrying out troops , when the arrangements had not only been made , but
were in operation . Lord Granviule assumed that there must lie some explanation j and it docs Look rather like wmnard ; a fiction founded on fact . In . 'the same House , Lord Gre y and LordOvEiiSTONK both stood forward to express opinions on the subject of the Bank Charter Act . Their views contrasted in their clearness and positive character with the vaguo papor-mongcring generalities of Lord Djsrbv and Mr , Israeli , who wore for maintaining tho
convertibility ; ' of the paper currency ; hut : for - providing the pb \ yer of ex ecutive relaxatipii hi the ' Baiik ) Charter Act - Tlie ; . first . - iiiglit left us with nothing ; . to ^^ expdpt from tlie Oppositibri . \ r .

Still ; trade : is sliglitly ;' reviriiig , eaiplbyment a little , reebverihg itself , and co nfidence even more than ¦ proportionately ' , restored . ; : ' AJthough vtlic ; late- Indian : mail hroiignt US ; intelligence of liQiicAr events of . impprtance yet it had : furnished us ^ tvith : an . abundance of details concerning past eveiits , about winch we desired to ikhow ri'ioi'Ci \ The news is of the most
interesting as well as satisfactory characteiv and sh oavs that the successes of our ' . ¦ troop ' s- ; were under rather than overstated by : tlie preceding mail . The alrcudy long scries of stories of individual bravery and capacity for : dealing with the mutinous Sepoys ; aiid their adherents is lengthened by- several brOIi ant examples : Saikeld , the licro of ; thc a ssaiilt of Delhi ,, unliappily cut off before he could receive tlie rew-ardswnich his country would have felt picud to bestow upon him—Hobson the daring , who went in among ah armed horde of murderers

than the preceding mail had led-us to conclude All , in fact , is going well in India . The rcinforccments arc rapidly pouting in , and already signs of the coinniciicoxncrit of the necessary labour bf reformation in I lie Indian arnVy have been given by Sir Comn CAMPiuaii .
