W^EJKLT/IT If^TKOSPECT. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] LONDON, JUNE 20, 1S1]. "V esterday our gracious Queen dissolved Parliament— a Parliament of which Mr. J. Ilunie tiulv said, that the good and the wise need fed no regret if such a one should never meet again; and now it is for the good, and the wise, and the patriotic to see to it that such another House of Commons shall never more insult the under- standings, crush the hopes, and trine with the paramount interests of the bulk of the people. The speech of our beloved Sovereign was worthy the head of a great nation, distinguished for its industry, its manufactures, and its intelligence. As if inspired by the tutelar genius of the Island Empire," she tells her people, The paramount importance of the trade and industry of the country, and my anxiety that the exigencies of the public should be provided for in the manner least burdensome to the community, have induced me to resort to the means which the Constitution has intrusted to me of ascertaining the sense of my-pesple upon matters which so deeply concern their welfare. In the exercise of my prerogative I can have no other object than that of securing the rights and promoting the interests of my subjects; and I rely on the co-operation of my Parliament, and the loyal zeal of my people, for support in the adoption of such measures as are necessary to maintain that high station among the nations of the. world which it has pleased Divine Providence to. assign to this cfJuntry," These are sentiments worthy of Britain's Victoria. Shall future generations have to say of the people that their Queen had formed a too favourable opinion of them that she relied on a heartless, pusil- lanimous, degraded race, who had not the spirit to respond to her magnanimous .0; we will not think so meanly of them. We are great by our industry, and can only continue great by a right appli- cation of it. To talk as the D ike of Wellington iguo- rantly does, of making the nation great by rendering her independent of foreigners for the means of sub- sistence, is worse than absurd. In the arena of political economy his Grace is no conjurer. He Ü; a great man in the camp and the battle-field; but in political science the highest praise that can be awarded him is that he is frequently shrewd--always honest and strnghtforward. The day that this country becomes independent of foreigners she must become a second Japan—must boai furnish and consume all that constitutes the staples of her industry and its application, and all that her popu- lation require to render them comfortable and happy; nay, to make them at any time a match for whatever toe may assail them. Every day that passes over us adds a thousand souls to our population; but the surface of our domestic empire continues the same; what inference, therefore, can be more lair or legitimate than that, in order to secure an increase of our means commensurate with the Jij^-ease of the population, it. must ever be a matter of the greatest importance to cherish those artificial re- sources which have already raised us to a pinnacle of eminence of which Venice and Genoa were dim types in the middle ? From all parti of the Empire we rejoice to be able to -say, that every day's assures us that a spirit of gene- rous enthusiasm aitinrnu." lie great mans ot the electora. body; while dismal forebears appear to brood over tlis spirit of the anti-national f'actiou pits itself against the vital interests of the nation. Z.n lrdaml the lTr.eat Liberator, the iitcubus of the :<»d waking dreams of the Tories, is carrying all before tint. London is more than sale. The name of Russell is a tower of strength and the enthusu^ j the Liberals is at Hood tide. 50mewhJ.t The latest accounts from Manchester are s)nii less gloomy than they were a ^night ?"
