'We were obliged to omit the speech of the V dueen, in our foreign news. It was deliver- - " I ed on the prorogation of Parliament:1 - It is not often thata speech from the British Throne piible times? but on the present occasion -nt of consequence, as it declares the rene wal of diplomatic relations with France, and 'speaks of the harmony which exists between thie two nations. The distress in Ireland, consequent upon 'successive failures in' the production of food, has been mitigated by. the operations of the poor laws, and contributions' in other parts of the Kingdom. The Hueen well defines the Irish movement when she says: "Organ- ized Confederacies took advantage f or the existing pressure io excite my suffering sub jects to rebellion. Hope of plunder and con fiscation were held out to tempt the distress ed; whilst the most Visionary prospects were held out tdithc. ambitious." She thanks the people for' the manifestation of their loyal ty and attachment'and thanks the Parlia ment for granting the necessary supplies, and promises tr be economical; i GEN. HAMILTON. -Gen. Hamilton has vrilten a letter to va gentleman in Charleston, having : been ad dressed on the Subject of the Presidential contest in South Carolina. It is written with great ability, as might be expected from a man of his fine talents. He speaks in the highest terms of both candidates .but declines .inv nolitical attitude on the question : wish' k .(,..... ins to be considered neutral. We should judge from his letter, that if he took ground at all, it would be fbr Taylor. THE SUB-TREASURY. j The Journal of Commerce gives ah ac count of the operations of the sub-treasury, by which it appears that great! evils flow from its operations. It seems that in spite of all efforts to draw out the specie from the ) vaultsof theeub-treasury dej ostein N.York itstill accumulates, and on the 23J ult. there were $2,720,000 on hand, 4 The receipts from duties, within ten days preceding, amounted to $995,000, i and the payments , on Treasury Drafts to $72450. While this management is going on is it any wonder that the Bauks J contract their discounts 7 It is not the specie j sent abroad alone 'that : affects the money market but the-vast amount of specie lay- ing idle in ; the Treasury vaults, upon tlie ba- sis of which paper might be issued to answer all the purposes ' of commerce and trade while in its present stato it does.no good, either n the government or the people. The Journal further informs us that" Mr. Secretary Walker j while in New York, agreed to purchase Treasury Notes to the .amount of $800.000, .jit par, the sellers agree- mg to take them back whenever called upon. This nneration is eouivalent to a loan tho1 adirect loan is contrary to law. Considera ple relief to the money marlfet is expected from this transaction. This proves what we have frequently asserted, to be true that the government cannor carry out the full Ex ecution of the sub-treasury law. - But it may not be impertinent to ask, H to whom does the Secretary lend this money, at this .peculiar juncture-i-on the eve . of the Presidential Election 1 Is not this evasion of ihp cuK.trpnsnrv law intended to answer the aouoie purpose oi ueuumg w.uu.vl tn rreatfi Jill mnuenCB!

In the first 'place it is an audi ted account, and must, -therefore, be correct. In the second place it is composed of many items with which "General Taylor has no more to do, than any other citizen of : the're public. His brevet pay ai d rations are men tioned. These and others of a like character are a part of the contract of his engagement, established byTaw. "Other i items, such as transportation of officers' baggage, fuel, &c. might as well be charged as extra pay to Gdyer'nor Graham as to General Taylor.

But they cannot en joy the confidence, of the people. , Cass goes uo silt river and Ritchie may betrin his ditty of "carry me back to old Virginia I" : 1 ' DEATH OF MR. GRAVES. ! The Honorable Wm. J.

The news received by the Acadia, as pub- lished on Thursday, is important;in a pohti- cal poiatofviewi The aeceptance , of Aua- tria of the mediation of France and England, secures the peace of Europe, at ieabt, for a season. This is of much consequence to us, as political disturbances in Europe will al ways have more or less effect upon our inter ests : unsetllinff the current of trade, and uroduciiif fluctuations in, the markets hostile to the healthful action iof mercantile opera Hons. The speculators in Breadstufls will receive a check from the fact that a fair average har . . i vest is pretty certain ii the British Empire nor do we hear of any fnaterial defect in other parts of the world. So the prospects of -this branch of trade do not depend upon the ca lamity of a famine abroad. . If there are any serious, apprehensions to be indulged, they arise from the probable in stability of the French Republic. It is im possible to calculate the result of another outbreak, which caunot be far off; but no great discomfiture will arise to us. if the other European powers keep aloof front the commotion ; which they all seem disposed to -5 the United States what sort of. government France may choose.

Dear Sir: As I find reflected in the columns of the Commer cial, sentiments df a political bearing in ac cordance with my ;own; shall I be presuming too much upon i your time and patience, in transcribing a few of the most prominent events now transpiring of a political import and which so completely absorb the public mind, in the Q,ueen city of the South. The apparent uncertainty, which for a tirne, seemed to hover around the complexion of Carolina politics, is fat meltirig away, and the oause of truth, honesty and merit. 1 more .i A' . , ! ' . I.

Since that period, however, other opinions have been advanced in opposition, ana xuners sun on neutral grounds.
