The Government has not loaded the Queen's Speech with Bills,
but Her Majesty promises measures for regulating the ultimate Tribunal of Appeal ; for amending the Merchant Shipping Laws ; for doing something about University Reform and Elementary Education ; for improving the Enclosure Acts ; and for prdmoting economy and efficiency in Prisons. This is not a long list, but private Members brought in a list of Bills said to exceed ninety, many of which must attract the earnest attention of Government. Very few of these Bills will pass, but Members appear to be convinced that it is easier to force attention to their ideas by embodying them in Bills than by proposing Resolutions. The debates on Executive subjects will be numerous, and we are told the Estimates for the Army and Navy may give rise to warm discussion. Altogether, there is every prospect of a lively, if not a fruitful Session.
