The members of the two Houses of the Landtag were stationed opposite the throne-the members of the Upper House on the right and those of the Lower House on the left side. The President of the Upper Houso proposed cheers for the King and they were given with enthusiasm.
William's speech in substance was as follows: The Government would be exercised as a legacy from his grandfather. He would equally guard- the rights of the people and the crown, and protect all religions. He was gratified with the god relations between the State and the Catholle Church and satisfied with Prussia's finances. He hoped further that the relief of communes and ofamall means from taxation would

The King stood helmeted while he made his speech, which was loudly applauded. Bismarck kissed his band and the King left the chamber amid cheering,

THE GREAT. CHINESE FALL.
The Chinese upheaval in New South Wales has furnished Parkes with an opportunity of
posing in his political capacity, as the last earthly possibility in the way of n mental wreck, and he has grasped as the happy chance with a soulful earnestness which has gratified every one who knows him. For thirty years and more the old man's policy has been'a ceaseless toss-up with circumstances, and he has generally lost; in every crisis of his fortunes he has fallen, and every time he has fallen with the buttered side down. Amid the intellectual "pi" of his being he sever, by any chance, gets hold of the right idea when it is wanted; in fact his mental resources consist entirely in a cloud of battered fragments of defaced inspirations, and among them all there remains not one whole theory or one sentiment which has not been damaged beyond repair. The statute-book of New South Wales is strewn with the remains of a hundred foundered policies which he has successfully horrowed and turned upside down, and his Chinese policy is the last and worst of them all.

The Standard contends that even if yester day's statement that 3,cop.coo have been taken were correct, the loan is a failure. It would give the company possession of £19,000,000, but this sum would melt like snow under the tremendous expenses of the work, combined with the dead weight of interest now exceeding £4,000 000 yearly.

For the present, however, the crisis which Parkes built scemto be less acute.
The Inyal Parkes, who held that Australia must "knuckle down," and the fire-eating, boiling water-drinking Parkes who cared nothing for England or China or the Supreme Court or anything else, have both practically backed out. But the manner of back- ing-out was sulky and ungracious.

The motion of Directors Brother Samuel Shin, of the famous Line-lin Club, that "dis'ere Club sympathises-wid Greece la her efforts to cast off de yoke," was promptly suppressed by the two pertinent enquiries, "Where am Greece" and, secondly, "Where am de yoke " and had Parkes, in like manner, been asked to produce his crisis, a collapse would have ensued.
