THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.
THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. We last week briefly announced that parliament was proro- gued by her Majesty in person, on Thursday, on which occa- sion eur most Gracious Sovereign read the following royal speech, with her accustomed grace and purity of elocution — My Lords and Gentlemen, "I am induced, by considerations of public policy, to re- lease you at an earlier period than usual from your legislative duties. The zeal and diligence, however, with which you have applied yourselves to your parliamentary labours, have enabled me, in this comparatively short session, to give my assent to many measures of high importance, and, I trust, of great and permanent advantage. "I receive from all foreign powers assurances thrt they are animated by the most fiieodly dispositions towards this country and I entertain a confident hope that the amicable relations happily subsisting between the principal European States may be so firmly established as, under divine providence, to secure to the world a long contiuance of the blessings of peace. To this great end my attention will be unremittingly directed. I rejoice that the final settlement of the affairs of Hol- stein and Schleswig, by the general concurrence of the powers interested, has removed one cause of recent difference and of future anxiety. "The amicable termination of the discussions which have taken place between the Sublime Porte and the Pdsha of Egypt affords a guarantee for the tranquillity of the East, and an en- couragement to the extension of commercial enterprise. "The refusal on the part of the King of Ava, of redress justly demanded for insults and injuries offered to my subjects at Ran- goon, has necessarily led to an interruption of friendly relations with that sovereign. The promptitude and vigour with which the Governor general of India has taken the measures thus ren- deied unavoidable, have merited my entire approbation and I am confident that you will participate in the satisfaction with which I have observed the conduct of all the naval and military forces, European and Indian, by whose valour and discipline the impor- tant captures of Rangoon and Martabau has been accomplished, and in a hope which I entertain that these signal successes may lead to an early and honourable peace. Treaties have been concluded by my naval commanders with the King of Dahomey, and all the African chiefs whose rule extends along the Bight of Benin, for the total abolition of the slave trade, which is at present wholly suppressed upon that coast. "I have had great satisfaction in giving my assent to the measure which you have wisely adopted for the better organiza- tion of the mil ilia-a constitutional force, which, being limited to purposes of internal defence, can afford no just ground of jealousy to neighbouring powers, but which, in the event of any sudden or unforeseen disturbance of my foreign relations, would at all times contribute essentially to the protection and security of my dominions- Gentlemen of the House of Commons, I thank you for the liberal provision which you have made for the exigencies of the public service. The expenditure which you have authorised shall be applied with a due regard to eco- nomy and efficiency. The recent discoveries of extensive gold fields have pro- duced, in the Australian colonies, a temporary disturbance of society, requiring prompt attention I have taken such steps as appeared to me most urgently necessary for the mitigation of this serious,evil. I shall continue anxiously to watch the important results which must follow from these discoveries. I have wil- lingly concurred with you in an act which, by rendering avail- able to the service of those colonies, the portion arising wiibio them of the heieditary revenue placed at the disposal of parlia ment on my accession to the throne, may enable them to mee their nece £ sari;y increased expenditure. My Lords and Gentlemen, I have gladly assented to the important bills which you have passed for effectiog reforms, long and anxiously desired, in the practice and proceedings of the superior court of law and equity, and generally for improving the administration of justice. Every measure which simplifies the forms, and diminishes the delay and expense of legal proceedings, without introducing uncertainty of decision, impairing the authority of the Courts, or lowering the high standard of the judicial bench, is a valu. able boon conferred upon the community at large. I hope that the measures which you have adopted for pro- moting extramural interment of the dead, and for improving the supply of water, may be found effectual for the remedy of evils the existence of which has long been a reproach to this great metropolis, and may conduce to the health and comfort of its inhabitants. The extension of popular rights and legislative power to my subjects resident in the colonies, is always to me an object of deep interest; and I trust that the representative institutions which, in concert with you, I have sanctioned for New Zealand, may promote the welfare and contentment of the population 01 that distant, but most interesting colony,and confirm their loyalty and attachment to my crown. "It is my intention, without delay, to dissolve this present parliament, and it ip my earnest prayer that, in the exercise of the high functions which, according to our free constitution, will devolve upon several constituencies, they may be directed by an all-wise Providence to the selection of representatives whose wisdom or patriotism may aid me in my unceasing en- deavours to sustain the honour and dignity of my crown, to uphold the protestant institutions of the country, and the civil and religious liberty which is their natural result, to extend and improve the national education, to develope and encourage industry, art, and science; and to elevate the moral and social condition, and thereby promote the welfare and happiness, of my people." The Lord Chancellor, kneeling at the foot of throne, received back the copy of the speech, and then, by Her Majesty's eom. mand, prorogued parliament in the following terms:—"It is Her Majesty's Royal will and pleasure that this parliament be prorogaed till Friday, the 20th day of August, and this parliament is hereby prorogued till Friday, the 20th day of Augost." Her Majesty bowed and rose, the House rose also, the Com. mons made their bow, and retired from the bar. The royal pro- cession left the house in the same order as it had entered, amid the blast of trumpets and reverberations of cannon. The brilliant crowd burftinto a shifting mass of colours as varied as the hues of the kaleidoscope, and poured out through doors and passages into the daylight and thus the parliament of 1852 was brought to a close, and iives now but in its acts. 0.

There is an amusing account in the Cornish papers of the veritable capture of the "sea serpent" by two Falmouth water- men, which now turns out to be very like a whale." We observe something of the old particularity of deiatl in this latest paragraph, such as fastening the cable to the" dorsal 6n, landing on the,, monster's back," and other wonderful micutiie -all more remarkable than suggesting credence. We may expect to hear further "sea serpent" yarns during the coming receis.

LONDON MARKETS; &c.
LONDON MARKETS; &c. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY AFTERNOON,JULY 5 The supplies of wheat on sale in the country maikets held on Saturday were tolerably extensive, at barely stationary prices; malt and oats were the turn lower. Letters from the near continental ports state that the transac- tions in grain on English account have been on a very limited scale. Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of wheat were unusually small, even the time of yearconsidered. In some few instances selected Essex wheat sold at last Mon- day's prices. Foreign wheat might have been purchased at fully la per qr. less money. Malt came slowly to hand, yet all kinds were very dull, and the turn in favourer buyers. With oats we were very scantily supplied, and late rate3were with difficulty supported. Scarcely any beans were on show. The supply of peas was very limited, whilst the sale was firm, at late rates. We had a dull inquiry for both English and foreign flour. Shillings per quarter. Old. New. WHEAT.

REMARKS. The iron market has been very much excited during this week, and large operations have been effected in Scotch pigs, at an advance of fully 5s per ton. Many thousand tons changed hands at prices varying ftom 42s up to 45s 6d per ton for mixed Nos., three months open, f. o. b. at Glasgow, while 45s per ton, im- mediate cash, has been paid. The market is firm at 45s 6d cash, and 46s three months open. Holders anticipate a much higher advance. Orders for rails have been taken for delivery at the end of the year, at f6 per ton at the works, Bars are now selling at E5 5s per ton, f. o. b. in Wales, for best makes. Staffordshire iron continues in large request from anticipations of advanced rates. Spelter is looking better. Holders asking £15 15s per ton on tbe spot; 200 tons have been sold to arrive at £ 15 7s 6d per ton. The stock consists of 9878 tons, being 562 tons less than last month. Lead very firm, without alteration. In copper, nothing new--tbe scarcity continues. Tin is easy, 150 slabs Straits sold at 82s; in Banca, no sales to report. Tin-plates in rather moderate demand, without change in prices. GLASGOW, JULY 1.—Since last Thursday there has been much speculation in Scotch pig iron, and prices have been driven up considerably—the parties purchasing being weak houses, who have bought three and four months open, at 44s and 45s per ton, Caying 2s 6d per ton deposit; to*day, however, the market has een very flat, with a strong disposition to realise, No. 3 Gart- sherrie having been sold at 43s 6d per ton, cash down, and No. 1,44s to 45s 6d per ton. This advance has caused another furnace at Lochgelly to be put in blast, also the Clyde furnaces aie in operation.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The principal item of intelligence from Paris is the discovery of a plot against the Government, thirteen persons having been apprehended on Thursday night, in the Rue Reine Blanche, in the act of constructing an infernal machine," to be em- ployed probably against the President. The Patric states that "at the moment the conspirators were apprehended, they were occupied in manufacturing out of gas pipes a species of shells of a calibre of from eight to nine centimetres in diame- ter, slightly bent at one of the ends, and plugged with a band of stout canvas covered with tar. Ten of these tubes, each capable of containing a number of small balls, were found completely finished." Some important papers were also seized, which clearly show the designs of the party, who are said to have been in correspondence with the refugees in London. Twenty five persons had been arrested in the whole. The Paris papers of Sunday give the following version of the conspiracy —1,1 The day before yesterday, at half-past five o'clock, P.M., MM. Balestrino and Messe, delegated by the Prefect of Police, proceeded to arrest thirteen individuals taken in the fact of clandestinely fabricating arms. Other arrests took place yesterday, and the accused, to the number of thirty-two, have been placed in the hands of the police. The facts hitherto collected have not the gravity which certain journals have attached to them. A military plot at St. Omer has also been spoken of. The rumour is without foundation." The trial of the insurgents at BeJariex has been brought to an end. Six accused en contumace have been condemned to death. On the twenty-two who were present, eleven have been condemned to death, five to hard labour for life, three to hard labour for a limited period, one to transportation, and two acquitted. General de Lawcestine, the Commander in Chief of the National Guard, convoked the officers of that body on Thnrs- day, at his apartment in the Palais Royal, to take the oath prescribed by Art. 14 of the Constitution. The General opened the proceedings by pointing out, in an energetic ad- dress, the duties which the oath would impose on each. These remarks were received with great applause, and the officers of the various corps then took the oath as prescribed. They then separated with cries of Vive le Prince." The Prince President of the Republic, on passing through Boulogne on Thursday, on his way to St. Cloud, received a veritable ovation. All the houses in the Grand Rue were decked with flags, and the inhabitauts of the town and the ad- jacent villages accompanied his carriage soma distance with cries of Vive Napoleon." ITATY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 30th ult., publishes the law authorising the construc ion of a railway from Turin to Susa; and approving of the contract concluding with Messrs. Jack- son, Crassey, and Henfrey for that purpose, The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 20th ultimo, quotes a let- ter from Velletri, in the Roman States, from which it would appear that the people there had driven away the- tar-gatherer, that Cardinal Macchi, the delegate, had been obliged to make his escape, and that a regiment 01 chasseurs stationed there had refused to act against the mob. AMERICA. At seven o'clock on Sunday evening the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship America, Captain Neil Shannon, arrived at Liverpool, from Boston and Halifax, having left the former port at noon of the 23rd ultimo, and Halifax early on the morning of the 25th. She brings eighty passengers and two hundred and eighty thousand dols. in specie on freight. The Whig Convention at Baltimore, alter 52 unsuccessful ballots, had nominated GeneralWinfield Scott, of NewJersey, 3f v-e W'J' £ candidate for the presidency; and VV. A. Graham, ° ^ar0''na' ^or yhig candidate for the presidency and W. A. Graham, of North Carolina, for the vice presi- dency. A great disparity of feeling was manifested by the an- nouncement of General Scott's nomination. From Boston, ^he telegraph sajs the rejoicings re far from being general or Business of all kinds was affected by the excitement respect- ing the presidential nominations. The proceedings in Con- gress were wholly unimportant during the four days prior to to the steamer's departure. A misunderstanding had occurred at San Jose, Lower Cali- fornia, between the Mexican authorities and Commander Aid- ham, of her Majesty's sloop Swift, arising out of the seizure of some goods belonging to British subjects. A company of troops were to be despatched to Trinity county, the scene of the recent Indian disturbance. The In. dians were becoming very troublesome on the east side of the Sacramento river. The United States mail steam ship Franklin, arrived at New York from Southampton and Havre on the twenty-first ultimo. The independence of San Juan de Nicaragua has been ac- knowledged by the British and American authorities, and the event was celebrated with great hilarity on the fourth ultimo. The United States Commissioner, Bridgham, was to give his decision relative t.) the application of the British Govern. ment for the extradition of Thomas Kaine, charged with felony m county Westmeatfa, Ireland, by shooting at Joseph Balfe, farmer. By an arrival from Be'ize, to the 1st of June, the news had been rf-ceivd in New York that owing to the disturbed state of public affairs, all the Honduras papers had been discon- continued. Advices from Valparaiso to the 15th of May state freights to England were X2 per ton for guano. The Santiago arrived at Panama on the 3rd ult., with intel- ligence that Flores still remained at Puna. He had nine ves- sels and suthcient funds, and was only waiting the arrival of an additional steamer to commence the attack. The French population at Guayaquil had most of them taken refuge under the pro'ection of the Fiench consul. The G™ayay!il. ench' and frigates were still at It is stated in a letter from Honduras, that the inhabitants Of Kuatan had claimed the protection of Honduras aeainSt the ritish authorities. Great disorder prevailed. Great dissatisfaction is expressed in the Canadian news- papers at the failure of the mission of the provincial delegat s to England in connection with the Quebec and Halifax rail. road scheme. The number of fugitive slaves that had obtained protection in Canada during the last three years, had been estimated by some of the journals as high as 30,000. REVIEWS AT WARSAW—RUSSIAN CAVALRY. Several reviews have recently taken place before the Emperor Nicholas, aod tha following description of the qualities of the Russian force by an English officer, who proceeded to Warsaw from London on purpose to witness them is interesting. After relating the circumstances of his introduction to the emperor, he observes:- "The cavalry are well mounted on punchy, well-limbed, free- moving horses, most of them bred in central Russia, and some brought from the Crimea and Ukraine; they are plain about the head, and rather short-necked, but in tenure of bone and sinew indicate tolerable breeding. They are of very even stature, averaging I should say, at a guess, scarcely fifteen hand., and the equality is preserved by a wise rule of casting all colts that grow over a prescribed maximum standard of about fifteen hands one inch. "With Russia's resources her cavalry is thus mounted on medium-sized troopers, which all eiperience knows to be the right sort for work, and at a price vastly below our English or Indian remounts, 70 rubles or S-11 being the government figure here for a three-year-old and the supply is so immense that every regiment 1 have seen musters its 1,200 horses of one colour. I have heard the temper of the Russian horses questioned, but from the generous determination with which I have seen those animals take the collar, in getting guns through boggand heavy sand I should say they are libelled. "The cavalry, I think, are over-schooled passing at a trot, the emperor applied repeated tests of menage, which proved them handy, and with which his Majesty seemed satisfied but to ac- quire this proficiency there is a deal of haunch work and a straioing of hind quarters, which must of necessity impair speed, and consequently diminish the impetus of attack, in which velocity II as powder. The men look well en masse, but individually I cannot ad- mire their seat nor method of saddling. They get too far aft on the horse, and vice versa as regards their own centres of gravity. The saddles are placed clear of the withers, but the girths take the horses by the belly instead of the brisket. It would swell this note to an inconvenient bulk to describe the evolutions of the day,and may suffice to state that the emperor repeatedly expressed his approbation, which called forth the invariable response in Russian, of something to the effect of We do our best, and we try to do better.' Following His Majesty, steepte chase fsahion, to the car- riages we made our salaams and meeting him again next morn- ing at the Palace d'Ugazdow, saw 16,000 infantry and a due proportion of cavalry and artillery inspected, after which, two polks of irregulars performed a few vagaries of eastern warfare, the better skelter, devil-may-care tactics of these Rosso-Asaian men-of-war being attended with some casualties, of course; but one clever rascal contrived to distinguish himself by purling heels over head before the emperor, and with a well-feigned convulsive shudder and a flourish of his beel., seemtd verily to 'kick the bucket.' His Majesty, moved with compassion, rode towards the apparently defunct warrior, who, watching his oppor. tunity, sprang to his feet,caught a passing comrade's horse by the tail, although at full gallop, and shortening his grisp as he was dragged along, vaulted up behind with the agility of a monkey, and was borne in triumph off the field the stern gravity of the monarch was somewhat moved, as he remarked that this was the second time he had been similarly taken in. Marching past in slow time, the infantry showed good drilling, and the cavalry appeared well broke; both, perhaps, a litile overdone. The infantry are trained to a peculiar step, worked up to a redundancy of knee action, which, however con- ducive to regularity, is anything but graceful. Passing in quick time, a more business-like step was adopted, and in column of regiments, each regiment comprising fuur battalions, and each column showing a head of 200 men, the accuracy of alignments and distances in such masses was truly surprising, the martial strains of the united four bands of each regiment, rendering it a musical as well as military feast."
