The Queen was inot present, but Her Majesty's speech was delivered by the Royal Commission, and read to the assembled House by the Lord Chancellor. The, speech is in substance as follows : The Queen assures the Lords and Com mons that the relations of Great Britain with all foreign powers are at present on an excellent footing. The hostilities which threatened to break - out in the East have been presented by the Conference of the Great Powers at Paris.- The hope is expressed that negotiatione with the United States will place on a firm and durable basis the friendship which should ever exist be tween England and America. The die turbances in the Colony of Now Zealand are to be regretted, but the Queen is sure that proclaims and moderation on the part of the efbvernment will"prevent a recurrence or such unhappy events. The estimates which will be laid before the Commons by Her Majesty's Ministers are framed on - the basis of economy, coupled with efficiency, in. the adminis tration of the. service % The continued suppression of the operation of the writ of habeas corpus in'lreland is regarded as unnecessary.
