shortly lfter 1 o'clock, in the royal state
carriage, attended by a brilliant suuite.
The royal escort was composed of a tde
tachmenlt of the household troop.
iHer Majesty all hted at the peer's
entrance of the Parliament building.
where she was recleved by deputy lord

The Earl of Beaconilell carried the

The Queen says: IHostilities which,
before the close of the last session of
Parliament., had broken out between
'Turkey on tne one hand and Servia and
Montenegro on the other, engaged my
most serious attention; anti I anxiously
awaited for an opportunity when my
good offices, together with those of my
allies, might be usefully interposed.
This opportunity presented its-it by
the sollrettion of Servia for our media
tion, offers of which were ultimately
entertained by the Porte. Her Majesty

to submit to the Porte for the restora

thereon.
Whille proceeding to act in this media
tion, she thought it right, after lnqoir

Porte the excesses t, ounitted 1 in Uhiga

1fi septuagenarlians, 13 sexagenarians, H
quqluagenarians, and 2 are under 5,0.
The oldest is Do Angelis, Archblshop of
Fermo, who is a month the Pope's ten
