THE QUKEN'H SPEECH. Special Telegram to The BKE. LONDON , August 10. The queen's speech is an epitaph by the present ministry ou tlio acts of the Into ministry. Official decorum fotbida direct ctltlciim by her majesty , of her formr servants , but it is known that the queen slmrcs the vlowa of the existing govern ment respecting the Nile expedition , tlio gen eral condition of Egypt , and England's rela- tioni with Hassln. Her Baying that she had learned with deep sorrow that the Nile expe dition arrived too Into , Is understood hero ns meaning that It started too Into , llcr premise - iso not to relax her ( forts to place the gov ernment and good crdar of Egypt upon a firm foundation , Is Intcrpretad in connection with Sir Mlchajl Ilicke-Beach'ii recent speech , as pointing to an indefinite ) occupation. The queen' * hopes of a satisfactory settlement of the Afghan frontier with Husiia , ere not san guine enough to exclude a reference to the necessity for placing the Indian frontier In a condition ol adequate defense , THE MIKIHTRl'd FOREIGN POLICY. Lord Randolph Churchill's answer to a question In the house of commons on Thurs day shows plainly that ho expects no nub- stnntlal progress of ncgotiatiocs pending elec tions in England. The departure of M. Les- sar from England confirms this inference. The truth Is that Salisbury , thinking it im possible to deal with the Umslan and Egyp tian diificulties.elmultaneously , has devoted himself to Egypt , reestablished good rela tions with the chief Kuropaan powers , and co- cured their sanction of the Issue of the Egyp tian loan , which for four months they had ru- fused to the Gladstone ministry. If Sir Henry Drummond Wolff succeeds in his mis sion to Constantinople and Cairo , the con servatives hope to convince the country that they have achieved a real success In their for eign policy. TUB CATALOGUE OF COMPLETED LEGISLATION in the queen's speech Includes no great meas ure passed by the Hbaral ministry , electoral reform cxcoptecl. The prfsont ministry unex pectedly succeeded in carrying overv import ant bill It undertook , including the Irish land purchase and the dwolling-for-tho-poor meas- uris , both of which it once thought it would be obliged to abandon. Its success is duo partly to the loyal co-operation of the liberal majority , and partly to their compact by which the Irish members , for value received , -abstained from obstruction , nor did either party , in view of the coming election , wish to oppoeo the measures which wore- believed to promise direct benefit tj the people. THANKINQ TIIK EGYPTIAN EXPEDITION. The adoption , in both houses of parliament , ofotojof thanks to the officers , soldiers and sailors of the Egyptian expedition , was unan imous , radicals like Sir Wilfred Lawson and Mr. Libouchero absenting thomselvoi. Lord Hartlngton supported the motion In the house of commons , vainly attempting to excuse the refusal of the late ministry to propose similar votes on the ground of want of precedents. Lord Wolseley'u well-earned viecoiiatship de scends to his daughter if ha shall have no son , Wednesday's resolution was the first parlia mentary tribute to Gen. Gordon , to whose character Lord Salisbury offered a just and adequate ministerial hoinago. MEANS TO INQUIRE FOR ITSELF. Lord Iddolsleigh's ( Sir Stafford Northcote ] -commission of inquiry Into the causes of the depression of trade and agriculture , in spite of the refusals of loading liberal * , contains many strong names. Free traders are alarmed , and protest against it , became the commission means to inquire for itself , in stead of blindly accepting free trade dogmas. DILKE'S DIDOS , Discussion of the charge against Sir Charles Dilke is mostly confined to minor tory or irovinclal papers. His letter to the Chelsea { iber.il association , ottering to withdraw ai a candidate fur the next parliament , elisits no xoiponse. Must of the printed gossip i wholly untrue or a perversion cf truth. Thi only fact within public knowledge in the filing of n petithu of divorce by Mr , Crawford against his wifj , The allfgdd confession of his wife would not nuitain the petition union corrob orated , If evidence confirming ths charge exist * , it remains secret.

CHICAGO , August 15 The national committee - mittoo of the Irish National League , com- > osed of ono member from each elate , went nto session hero at 11:30 : this morning. The ilef purpose of the meeting of the cimruit- eo was to detormeno when and where the ext national convention shall bo held , onator Riddlebergcr arrived about noon and was taken in charge by Alexander SuUivan nd Gen. Kirwiu. During the session of the oinmittco a letter was rood from Parnell In which ho advised that the date of the convon- on bo fixed at a period after the Euglish eueral elections , AN ADDRESS ISSUED , The following is the aidrois formulated nd adopted tin3 afternoon at the meeting of 10 Irish National League of America : In obediencs to the suggestion of the chosen oader of tjo people of Ireland , the natiuuil oinmittco of the Irish national league of Vmcricn , nscombled to designata a time tind > lace for holding the next national convention f the league in the United States , have do- idod to postpone the date of meeting until aninry , 18SG. It mupt bo manifest to nil members of the league , anJ all friends of elf-government in Ireland , that it would bo mpoasiblo for Mr , Parnell to attend the con- ention in this country or to send any of his bio associates pending the general election , which will probably occur next November , leuce the wisdom ot his suggestion that the invention bo postpone 1. lu tha meantime , lowover , the league should INACaUHATK A PERIOD OF ACTIVITY' not less earnest and energetic than that which irevailod when Ireland \VM threatened with nether artificial famine , and when her load- rs were imprisoned and her press silenced under a so-called liberal government. The mty led by Mr. Parnell needs support , low well that tupport is deserved we need hardly tell the world. Assuredly we need i3t tell men of Irish biith or descent , Serv- ng without compensation , without official lower or patronage among aliens who ha\o > orscuted and who have sought to degrade hem , being numerically less than ono-twen- leth of thi body in which they have achieved a success uaparalelled In the history of the trugglo for Ireo government , by their ability , heir unity , their discipline , their faith In the mtico of their cause , and by their restless abors , they have forced not only their enemies mies , but tbo world to look upon this opprea- ion and to listen to the recitals of an out- aged , plundered , misgoverned people. They have with matchless skill aeizad upon every pportunity to thrust beforu tha world their auao. It la ono which will BEAR THE SORUTINV OF LIGHT. They never allowed it to be hidden. They ) lockadod the legislation of the English par- lament ; tuoy objected t ) , postponed and do- eated local legislation , intended to foster and xpedite English business interests In retalia- ton for the dull , brutal indifference which was shown to Irish interests. For the first imo in English history it was imposjlbla to utend the franchise privileges in Eagland .ud . Scotland without giving Ireland absolute quality in the extension. While they have lot been able tfi compel tbo government to lisgorge the surplus of the unexpended fund used to support the now disestablished hurcb , they have wrung from the champions jf that colossal robbery the admission that it belong ! to the people of Ireland , and have compelled the return of a portion of the stolen unds. They have not secured the land of reland for the people of Ireland , but they lave forced the snactment of legislation ralch , although inadequate in its effect ) , it so xtraordinary in its terms and confessions as o amount to a confession of the enormity of he system which has eo long ground down ind ISIPOViRISHED Tit J IRISH PEOPLE , They have not been able to get back Grat- an'a parliament for Ireland , but they boldly mnounco that no lesser measure will bo ac cepted by them ; and , pending its restora tion , though prohibited from the government of Ireland , they have been able to dictate who must cease and who must assume the work of ; overning England , They have driven the > arty of coercion , the party of judicial mur derers , the party of eviction , the party which vainly souzht to imprison Ideas when it hrust men into dungeon ? , the party led by jladstono , who wrote boastingly ot the oown- 'nll of the American republic , into dl ° gr&co- ; ul retirement from Dublin castle ; and they mvo shown that while Dublin castle was the lomo of so-called English liberalism and the seat of tyranny , its unnatural vice and im ported English bestiality made it only worthy if a situ in ancient Sodom or Gomorrah , or n modern London. Their labors have been lerculoan , Their accomplishments under ; ho most adverse circumstances , nro almost miraculous. When they next np- ioar lu parliament their number will bi In creased from thirty to at least eighty. They will have more or less of tin only reliable ICogHsh support that which comes rom fear from a number of En glish mempera who will owe their election .0 tbo judicious exorcise of the balance of x ver by the exiled Irish in England and Scotland. With that strength they will ba able TO THROTTLE ENQLIHH LEGISLATION , and thus to compel the English to allow them to retire from the atmosphere polluted by royal and aristocratic bestiality , and to estib- Ish a free parliament for tbe government of a free people in Ireland , lu the accomplish mentofthii work they need more American mxlll tries. We appeal to every branch of the ieagua to give r newtd life and determination to the work , Wo earnestly request all who are not members to join ibo league ; and wein- vito all members of our own race , whether members of the league or not , to forward sub scriptions for the uarliamentary fund to the llev. Charles O'Reilly , D. V , troaiurer , Detroit , Mlcblpau , At the convention to bu neld in January it ii more than probable that Mr , Parnell will bo present. It Is cer- Lain that tbe Irleh parliamentary pirty will bo represented.

Mr. Millar , ommiisionor of Internal revenue , yesterday olegraphod to all revenue collectors who have been receiving' transportation bond ? , n which the time specified for the delivering f spirits at the port of exportation exceeds huty days , that they nro not torocovo ] ! such lands after the 15th ins t , , thus virtually ro- isallng the coven months' clause contained in ho circular c f January 3 , IE So , extending the ondcd period. Collectors were further in- tructed that they are not to approve trans- ortation bonds after the expiration period of lirco years mentioned in the warohoueiug and , thernby shortening the time by ono month , allowed under circular 283 of January D , 1833. The order of Secretary McCulIoch based n an opinion of Attorney Genera IBrewster , vhich had the effect of adding seven months o th'j bonded period of whisky , was frini the irst Ol1 RATHKR DOUBTFUL LKOALITT r of benefit to the distillers.

Congress will not again irolong the existence of this court , but the commiiMonoru will let tbe claimants suffer other than put up with less than ten weeks' vacation.

A crowd of two to three thousand men , women nnd children were at the depot when the train ariivcd ; tliero wai n rroat ; Bcrainbto among- them to r/et a view of thn prisoner , but good order was preserved , Maxwell and his custodian wore mot at the train by Chief of Police Harrigan , with a detachment of police and placed iu a { utrol wagon , and driven to the four courts , where after a brief stop in the detectives' room in polici headquarters , ho was put in the "hold over , " and Is being bold under an alias warrant , which was sworn out last Friday by the proper authority.

Maxwell wrote out , whi'p ' on the train , for the reporter of the Republican , an nccMint of his tilp from St. Louis to Auck land , bis artcst there and return trip , but it is n common place story of minor events , and contains uo information or interest. Detec- vo Tracy thinks that further developments will show Maxwell to bo a wenk man men- ; lly , but that ho has got on idea wedged in iis mind , that his safety depends upon his lenco , and that ho will sUrtlc nobody with surprising or romantic defence. Tracy aintts ho killed Prcllor for money , _ that the ory few admissions ho has made point In that irection. Unit his voyage from St. Louis to Auckland was a money spending debauch , nd not a well planned escape fiom justice , nd that it WAS the luck that takes care of runkard sand fools , that stood instead , and ot good management of his own.
