Queen's English.
Cohbett, in the very amusing English Gram
marovhlch be wrote, used to draw his exam
plea of bad grammar from Pitt's King's
'Speeches, and Castlereagh's louse of Com
mits harangues. The result was a marked
improvement—not In Castlereagh's slip•slop
talk, which was incorrigible, but—in the com
position of the documents severally called
a The Speech from the Throne."
The Times, which always reminds u of an
elephant, equally capable of rending an oak
of;the forest and picking up a pin, has an
amusing criticism on the Queen's Speech,
which abe read, in the House of Lords, on the
24tit of January, on the opening of the present
Parliamentary Session. It asks, "Has the
Queen—being impelled thereto by her con-
E. , ntional advisers—a right to clip her own
milish, to cry down the good old sterling
: diem that have passed current since the
tirye of Elizabeth, and to iseuo forth with her
ow* image and superscription, a certain base
mohey vulgarly known as slip slop?'" It
adds, tt The best Queen's Speech that was
ever made has come out in the worst English
that ever was written. It is strange how so
many singularly inappropriate words wore
°Sr got into so many singularly Inappropriate
placas."
Jfhoever wrote the Queen's Speech, knew

English, are not so ridiculous as the metaphors.

and for placing its prosperity on a solid and dura

"Circumstances bare arisen which have led to a

Congress or in separate negotiation, I shall endeavor
to obtain, for the people of Italy, freedom from

Italian peninsula may be peacefully and satisfac

This certainly is a notable specimen of the
description of writing called rigmarole. It
would puzzle the best scholar in the High
School to parse it, because it is put together
with a magnificent contempt of the ordinary
'trammels of syntax. Murdering the Queen's
English is a crime of no ordinary gravity, in
social life. 'When the Queen herself is the
culprit—the offence forced upon her by he;
Cabinet Ministers !--it is very difficult to de
cide what punishment should bo meted to her,
It is as if a Chief Justice should himself com

When Victoria announces to the Lords
Spiritual and Temporal and " her faithful
Commons," who conjointly constitute the
British Parliament, that " the last embers or

such a remarkable mixed metaphor as this
could have been put into her mouth. " The

founded" of o Queen's Speech, one learns
to think with more tolerance than tho sentence
has usually received, upon President Taylor's
joyful announcement to Congress that this
country was "at peace with all the world--
and the rest of mankind." Here Is tautology,
surplusage of words, strange iteration; but
here, also, is a plain and straightforward
thought, intelligible, if not exactly grammati
cally correct.
The Queen's Speech Is a sort of joint-stock
composition framed by the Cabinet Ministers.

education. Some of them have even obtained
no small celebrity as men of letters. Lord
Palmerston was ono of the authors of "The
New Whig Guide." Lord Campbell is the
biographer of the Chancellors and Chief Jus
tices of England. Mr. Gladstone has written
largely in the Quarterly and other Reviews,
and has written several octavo volumes upon
Church and State. The Duke of Argyll is the
author of several pamphlets and one volume
on the Scottish Presbytery. Sir George Corn

been editor of the Edinburgh Rerrew. Lord
John Russell has written history,
plays, politics, poems, and so forth—after a
fashion. Hero, at all events, are siy, men who
have mitten books, yet these, assisted by nine
trier°, (every ono of whom has published at
least ono Parliamentary speech, which is ono
degree of authorship), were unable to com
pose a Queen's Speech which should be intel
ligible and grammatical ! What a pity it is
that while the dead and living languages had
been crammed into the Veda of these public
men, they were not also taught how to explain
plain thoughts, correctly and plainly, in their
mother-tongue.
In fact, the Aristocracy of England, who,
as Mr. Disraeli tauntingly told them, are born
to seats in Parliament, are instructed very
much on the system which prevails in some
of the Female institutes in this country,

Eloquent Eulogies on the Death of
Hon. D. C. Broderick,
ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY FOURTEENTH.
IN SENATE.
Mr. SEWARD. Mr. President, the great na
tional event of our day, I think, is the extension of
our empire over the interior of the continent, from
the border of Missouri to the Pacific ocean. He
who shall write its history will find materials
copious and fruitful of influence upon the integrity
of the American Union and the destiny of the
American people. If e will altogether fall, however,

BRODERICK, MOM vigorously and resolutely than
any of his predecessors, overcame accidents and
circumstances which opposed his success. Neither
birth, nor fortune, nor education, nor training,
nor patronage, nor association, nor prestige of any
kind, favored ambition In his case. While yet
very young, he disappeared, unobserved, from
among the excitements of mere municipal elec
tions in a great commercial city on this side of the
oontinent, and rose as suddenly on the other side,
towering and conspicuous among the ill-assorted
and irregular troops of adventurers from all parts
of the world, who appeared there, reckless, as It
seemed, of all restraint, and animated by the one
absorbing purpose to become quickly rioh by be
ing the first to scoop up the golden dust in the beds
of the rivers of California. As we looked upon
these tumultuous assemblages, we asked, how
shall even peace and life be secured among them?
Row and when shall this political chaos be re
duced into the solid substance of a civil State?
even while we were yet asking these questions, we
saw that State rise up before los in just propor
tions—firm, vigeroua, strong, and free ; complete in
the fullest material and moral sufficiency, and, at
the same time, loyal and faithful to the Federal
Union. The hand that principally shaped it was
that of DAVID U. BRODERICK.

tion that he had fallen prematurely, while yet there
was need and room for further publio service to
augmenehie fame. But in this I erred. It is not
the amplitude, bat the greatness of achievements
that secures the statesman's renown.
The manner of his death gave a severe shock to
the moral sensibilities of the nation. But I will
not dwell on this painful subject, because, if be
could hear me, he would forbid complaint. He
consented, I trust, reluctantly; but he neverthe

Saunter, than whom none more incorruptible ever

Milton, left behind him noble monuments well and

Mr. TOOMBE. Mr. President, I wish simply to
announce my entire concurrence with the resolu
tions proposal by the Senator from California.
My own acquatutattee with Mr. BRODERICK' com
menced in this body and ended horo. It waiPure
ly and exclusively of a public character. I had
not the pleasure of any personal acquaintance with
him outside of hie public capacity in the perform
anoe of our relatiVe duties here as American Sena
tors. But, sir, there were strikingpoints in his
(diameter that won my respect, and I may IST my
admiration. I found him bold, honorable, truthful,
attached to the Interests of his country, "clear in
his office," and n man that I considered an honer
to the American Senate. He was one of the best
specimens of self-made Americans ; springing from

life, almost uncultiveitaTedellain early
peer of the proudest in the land, and condi:Taw

standing the many prejudices which had surrounded
his advent into this body, produced, it may be, by
the many and stern partisan conflicts which
marked lila active but troubled career. I trusted
him as a faithful, an honest, an upright, a fearless
Senator.
I give my full oonourrence to these resolutions.
I had not intended even to say this much but for
the dissent which has been manifested to our pro
ceedings In honor of his memory. He fell In
honorable combat, under a code which be fully
recognised. While I lament his sad fate, I have
no word of censure for him or his adversary. I
think no man, under any circumstances, can have
a mere honorable death than to fall in the vindi
cation of honor. Ile has gone beyond censure or
praise. He has passed away from men's judgment.

IN THE ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. BURLINGAME. I rise, Mr. Speaker, to min
gle my sorrow with this general expression of grief
at the fall of one so gifted and so brave as was
DAVID C. BRODERICK. It is true. that I did not
know him so long nor so well as did those gentle
men who have just now spoken so feelingly and so
justly of him. But latterly my relations with him
were quite intimate, and I presume it was a know
ledge of this fact which led those who were near
and dear to him when he lived, to request that I
would join with them In these last sad tributes to
his memory.
And now, sir, standing by his closed grave, I
will do what I can to lead your mind, Mr. Speaker,
and the mind of the House, far, far away from the
causes which laid him in his bloody shroud, and
call your attention to a few of those singular quali
ties which made him the marvel alike of Ms friends
and bin foes. Ido not shrink, sir, from a defence
of the motives and actions of Mr. BRODERICK ; but
this is not the occasion, this is not the time for re
sentment; it is the hour sacred to friendship and
to grief. In this spirit, sir, I shall offer the few
words I have to say.
He was the child of the people ; born to that
great American heritage, the right to labor and to
enjoy the fruits thereof, and he abed a new dignity
on the toil of men. It is true, as the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Raskin) remarked, that '
now, worn and tired labor may look up from
its toil and be proud. Sir, that was a beautiful in
cident to which he made reference when In the
Senate of the United States, representing, in part.
an empire In the West, Mr. BRODERICK permitted
the reeolleotions of his early struggles to come upon
him, and pointed out with pride, the handiwork of
his honored father, as it appeared In the traceries
of the Capitol above his head. It was a recogni
tion of his alliance with the great working classes
of the country. But it wee nobler far, manlier far,
on that occasion, then Instead of flattering the pre
judices of his people, he told them with a fearless
tongue their faults, rebuked their prejudices, and
yet leaned confidingly on their virtues while he
vindicated their rights.
Slr, he was a Democrat, without being a dema
gogue; he loved the people and he never betrayed
them, and with passing time, as they discovered
these traits In his (diameter, he won their enduring
regard.
Str, I never knew a man who was so mtsuuder
stood—who differed so much front his common
fame. I myself sought him in this city, as the
Representative of a hardy but tumultuous portion
of my countrymen. Imagine, sir, my surprise
when I found him a student—a student of history,
a student of poetry, a silent man, one who sat
apart from his fellows, pondering deeply the great
problems of life ; one instructed, as the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Mr. Hickman) has informed
us, in those motives which underlie all the notions
of men. I found him firm and dignified in deport
ment. It is true his struggles with adverse fortune
had clouded hie brow, and that his face, In the
presence of his foes, over wore a mingled look of
scorn and defiance, but for his friends he hail a
genial smile—an irresistible fascination. His look
watt honest and sincere, his voice firm and truth
ful, and sometimes it had a manly melody which
caused it to penetrate into the deepest recesses of
the human heart.
Sir, ho was a born leader. Bitting in his
solitary room In San Francisco, his wizard mind
went forth over the hills and through the valleys
of California, until the whole State was filled with
the breath of his power. lie had an indomitable
will. Before it party names and party organize
Dens disappeared, and men, under the spell of his
great spirit, forgot they were Republioans, forgot
they wore Demoarats, and only remembered with
pride that they were Boom:wiz men. Few men
with power to draw the masses to themselves, to
(muse their multiform feelings to flow in the indivi
dual channel of a single will, have appeared at
any time. Few have anpeared in this country.
lie, sir, had that gift. lie had—

Tho hearts of millions till they move as one."
I say that this quality is rare. Men with it
have appeared at long Intervals upon the shores of
time; but when they have appeared, they have
been the Idols of their rase.
Mr. BRODERICK fell in the very dawn of his
(ueer. Though ho fell thus early, yet he had
stamped the impress of his mighty mind upon the
affairs of the Pada() elope. No wiser brooded
over the chaos there. He aided in laying the
foundations of that new State. lie aided in rear
ing its fabric•of government; and be did all be
could, sir, to fill it with the pure soul of the peo
ple. Ile believed in something. He believed that
he bad a miesion to perform. lie believed that
be was a champion of the people. Their wrongs
were hie wrongs; their rights were his rights
Ilia heart throbbed responsive to thoire, and their
wild and stormy passions rolled ever through his
soul. Following this line of duty, he fell into
conflict instantly with those tyrannioal elemente

requirements of his times. No man knew better
than he did the logic of events: No man knew
better than he did the hasard a man takes to him

ple. lie, sir, had read history, and knew what
had been the fate of the Roman Graoohl; but no
personal consequences to himself deterred him.
Rtanding in that presence, scornful of corruption
and Of tyranny, in the majesty and grandeur of his
pure, stainless private and public, life, looking to
his stormy past, looking into the dark future, he
saw,,with the clear eye of his judgment, the very
point where he must abdicate the leadership for
the people's rights or yield up his life. Mr, he did
not"imitate one moment. Many a man here will
remember how the shadow of the event which is to
clothe us in mourning this day was upon him ero

BRODERICK.
Mr. Mortars, of Illinois. Mr. Fpesker,we are
told that California's great Senator is dead ! it
were not so, every breeze that comes to us front the
Pacific bears upon its wings the sad tidingtof this
great woe. Although I am the last,' et lam not
a kiss sincere mourner at his:closing funeral rites.
Belioted by his friends to speak on this oeeasion, I
come to pay to his memory the tribute of a sincere,
and heartfelt sotrovefor his low. I bring with me,
sir, a knowledge of his personal character 'naval:die
worth, arising from an acquaintance which l I am
happy to know, ripened into a sincere friendship.
During the last session of Congress I °coupled a •
seat at the same table with him. Ills chair was
directly opposite mine. Our intercourse was free
and familiar, and afforded me opportunities of
stddyiug his character; and I shall speak of it,
therefore, briefly, as I knew it. Others have given
the details of his short but eventful life.
At the commencement of the present session
returned to my aconstomed place at the same
table ; but, upon looking around it, I did not see
BRODERICK there! All the incidents of his melan
choly death rushed
formacrosay mind, and I wea led
to relent what security reputation and life has
a 'conscientious and fearless public man like him.
The boldness of honesty and truth is too often the
gateway to detraction and death ; while the artful
and wily politician aud dissembler, by the tricks of
his art, passes on upon the high - road of power and
fame, to bask In their sunshine.
. .
It has been too often the ease with those who re
bake authority, denounce torruption, and vindicate
public, morality and justice, that a hard fate awaits
OM. DAVID C. BRODERICK '
the Irish stone-ma
son's boy, who toiled at his father'e trade, and
raised himself to eminence by Ms own great energy
and talents, early, and alas! sadly, realised this
bitter truth, and now sleeps the sleep that knows
no waking. The funeral cortege that followed hie
remains to the grave Is dispersed Another now
fills his senatorial seat. No wife, no child, no rola
tiVe survives him. Who is there, then, to weep for
him? Who is there that wilt bring incense to
sprinkle upon his memory ? There runs not a drop
of his bicod in any human veins. Ills onoe noble
form Is wrapped fish bloody shroud ; his manly
video is bushed in death ; his flashing eye has
withered in its socket; and he, who, but yester
day, shone in the national Senate-ohamber, a
star of the first magnitude, and, moved among
his peers, possessing a vigorous physical frame,
free from disease, is now food for worms. Why,
oh ! why, Mr. Sneaker, all this? What bad
IM done. that he should pay the penalty of his
life ? Why was his onoe bosom friend, who had
nb just cause of 'quarrel. with him, his execu
tioner ?
When I tontemplate the proper answers to these
qizestions, the heart grows sick, the mind reels
upon its throne, and I find no consolation except
that "lie who doeth all things well," and " whose
Jaye are not man's ways, and are past finding
opt," bath in them an inscrutable provident.

I pretend not to say that the death of D AVID C.
BRODERICK was the result of foul play ; but many
think, if he had been lees honest and independent,
be would to-day be a living man. What was his
offence? What had he done that he should fall
by the hand of violence? Why was he bunted

Seemed a doomed man. Ms true, that born of
poor but honest parentage, and toiling with ble
bands for hie daily bread, a child of obscurity,
add buffeted by misfortune's waves, he had looked
up from his lonely and KA I aond Mon to " fame's
dread mount," whereon stood the rich, the proud,
and great, and dared to enter the list of honorable
competition for honorable fame.
Settling in a State possessing a heterogeneous
population; poor, without friends; scoffed at and
derided—he started out in a direst line for the
goal of hie ambition, while those who were hie ri
vals, and had gone to their new location invested
with the charms of acknowledged talent and fame,
were startled and alarmed that one In whose veins
ran only plebeian blood should be so bold and pre
sumptuous as to jostle them from ambition's lad
der. Nothing daunted by opposition, however,
and relying upon the energies of his own great
soul, his coons was upward and onward, like the
eagle's flight, and In a few short years he was the
acknowledged head and leader of his State, while
his ;nod powerful foe was prostrate at his feet,
asking his aid, and found him as magnanimous as
ho was brave. Perhaps no man ever overcame so
many obstacles in so short a time. Without the
possession of more than ordinary mental faculties,
he never could have done it •
lie was, indeed, an extraordinary man. Ills In
tellect was cant in a capacious mould; his energy

alike scorned the smiles and corruptions of power.
his allegiance he owed to the people and their
rights, and be refused it to Presidents and Cabi
nets, when desired for base purposes. Always
open and straightforward, there was no dis
simulation or guile in him. Els language was
the open, plain Anglo-Saxon language of frank
near and truth, and he called things by their right
names. A truer man, a more disinterested pa
triot, a firmer hater of wrong and oppression,
a more devoted and consistent friend, and purer
public servant, never lived. No suspicion was ever
even whispered that corruption bad tampered
with him, that bribery's base coin had adhered
to Ms fingers, or that he was in any way impli
cated in schemes of public' plunder. Temperate,
moral, simple, and frugal in his habits, and ad
dicted to no vices, with all his aims his country's
good, he trod life's path not as eociety ' a spawn,

afraid to give utterance to truth,
As a statesman, be had not the polish of those
educated in the schools—not their plausibility or
flowing language ; but possessed a native vigor of
intellect, expanded by reflection and reading,
which marked every effort of his forensic power.
Who that heard him or who that has read his re
marks, will ever forget his manly and eloquent
reply to South Carolina's proud and gifted Senator,
who reflected on the laboring men of the North in
unjust terms? It is, Mr. Speaker, no disparage
ment to others to say that no Senator ever gained,
in so short a time, so widespread a fame. Coming
to this Capitol with the breath of slander preceding
him andbreathing dishonor upon his character, in
two short years his State reputation was swallowed
up by a national one, and his name became a fa
, miller household word throughout this vast Repub.
lio. It will go on, sir, culminating, until truth and
justice shall place it in the highest niche of fame.
Though he was born in this District, and spent
his juvenile yearn around this Temple of American
Liberty, he was the true typo of a Northern Demo
crat. All his instincts, sympathies, and feelings,
were with the Democracy, and they were every
where looking up to him as their future leader.
When the heart-rending intelligence reached their
ears that ho was gone, gone forever, down to the
cold and silent grave, an almost universal wail of
anguish went up from their midst; and the question.
prepoinded at hie funeral obsequies, " Who shall
speak for California now '" was echoed from the
Atlantic) to the great West, ran along her lakes
and rivers, and sounded through her valleys and
mountains, like the death-chilling notes of an ill
omened bird. "Who shall speak for California
now" to the free people of the free States of this
Confederacy?
Mr. Speaker, Senator Bnonentcx was, indeed,
an extraordinary men. It may be said of him, in
the language of Ireland's immortal patriot, Em
mett, " the man dies, nut his memory lives." It
will be green and fresh in the recollection of mil
lions, while that of ethers will go out, and be fors
gotten forever. Now, and in after years, wbe,
the public shall crowd the galleries, and look down
npon the august men who compose the American
Senate, the question will not be asked, who fills
the chair at present? but, where did BRODSRiCIC
sit? Unless all truth is falsehood, and history
speaks to the future of the past with a lying tongue,
no brighter name will shine in its annals, among
the true moral heroes of America. Ile knew his
duty, and, knowing, dared to do it. Mothers
will teach the tale of his almost fabulous life. and

With an apology for the mysterious die ipposrance

"The mammoth air-ship, City of New York, in
Which I intend to make a voyage to Europe in
May or Juno next, I built last year, designing to
,start in October. Owing, however, to unexpected
labor which, from the great size of the ship, it was
'difficult to foresee, and the delay to which I was
,subjected in the construction of the mechanical
'.apparatus and other equipments to the ship, it was
not completed until November; eenaquently. I de
cided to postpone the first experimentuf pro:tinily
testing the theory et oceanic aerial navigation un
til spring, when, as everything is in tho most com
plete and perfect order, I shall (my life and health
being spared) solve the problem. I have deter
mined not to neglect the opportunity. which the
time until then well afford me, for making obser
vations in the lower latitudes. My object now is,
to make an examination of the upper currents,
ascertain their course, velocity, &c , at short dis
tal:we to and below the equator, to see if I cannot
discover a return current setting from cast to west
—a theory in which I have wrong faith. In the
thirty-eight voyages I have male abn-e the cloud
regions, between 47 deg.. and 33 deg north lati
tude, I have found (though not always at the came
altitude) a current setting fro n west to east, relia
ble in its course as the Gulf Stream. If, then, I
can find at or near the equator a e.noter current,
possessing the same uniformity and reliability, I
shall be satisfied. The advantages arising ftem
such a discovery can hardly be determined.'
