The Tord Chuceollor read Her Majesty's speech, of which the following is 2 rerbatim roport: Mr LoEDS AND GENTLEM greet you cordially €2 your re-azrembling for the dischargs of YOur mo- mentous duties, Ihavwe satisfaction in annouuciog the maintenance of relutions of friendship with the foreign powers thronghout {he world, You wero informed when I last addressed you, that steps tad been taken f{o prepare Cthé way for dealing more effcctually With the slave trado cn ths emst comt of Africa. I have mow despatehed an Envoy to Zanzibar, furniehed with such instructions 28 appear to me best ndapted for the at- tainment of the object in view, He recently reached Lis place of destination, and had entered into commu- nication with the Sultan, My ally, the Experor of Ge: ¥ taken to pronounce judgment as arbiter on the line of the water boundary ko long in dispute under the terma of the treaty of 1846, hag decidad in conformity with the contention of the Government of the United States, that the Haro Channel presents the line most in ac- cordarce with the interpretation of that treaty. Ihave thonght it to be a course most befitting the spirit of in- ternztional friendship and the dignity of this country, to give immediate execution o the award by witii- drawing promptly {rom my partial occupation of the laland of San Juan., The proceedings before the Tribunal of Arbftra- s100 3¢ Genevs, which I was eoabled to prosecuie in consequence of the exclusion of tbe indirect cialms preferred on bebalf of {he Government of the Dnited States, have ferminated i on cward, which i part establiehed and in part repelled the claims allowed to be relevaut. You will in due course of timebo asked to provide for the payment of the sum coming due to the United States under this award. 3y scknowledgments are due to the German Em- peror, likewlse to the Tribunal of Geneva for ths singand care bestowed by them on ho psacefal ad- fastmen of contraversies, much as conly aok nat fme pede the full prevalence cf international good will in case where it was especially to be cherished. o prosccution of well understood snd esfablished policy, I have concluded a treaty for the extradition of crimina's with my ally, the King of the Belgiana. The Government of France, during the recess, re- mewed jis communications with my government' for 1he purpose of concluding a commercial treaty to re- ‘place that of 1560, which is about to expire, In prosecut- 10g these commurications I bave kept in view the doubis object of equitbio regard to existing circomstances. andof securing a general provision, more permanent in its character and resting on a reciprocal and equal baris for the commercial and maritime relations of the 170 countriee, Thope to be ensbled within a short period to anngunce to you the final result. 1t bas been for some searadelt by the Governments cf Rusala and the United Kingdom respectively, that it would be conduvive {o the tranquility of Central Asia, if the tw0 governments should arrive at an iden- ¥ity of view regarding the Lre, which describes the nottbern frontier of the Dominlon of Afghanistan, Accordingly a_correspondence has passed, of which this istho main sabject, Iis tenor,no le3s than its object wl, T trust, be agproved by the public opinion of both naticns, ‘The papers will bs Laid before vou with relation to the delivered under th Treaty of Washington, to the commercial negotiations with France, and (o the ‘zoztbern frontier of the Dominions of Afghanistan. GESTLENEN OF 18 HOUSE OF CONMONs: The ex- timates for the coming financial year will bo presented 10 sou. They have been formed with 3 view fo the i ficient operations of our establishments under circam- 5 of incouvenience, entaffed by variations of an ionsl nature in the prices of some important -ommodities, M¥ LORDS XD GEXTLEXEN: _ Although the harvest, bas been, to eome extent, deficient, the condition of the three Kingdoms with reference to trade and com- ‘merce, to a ufiiciency of revenue for meeling the pub- lic charges, toa decresss of pauperism, and to the Telative” amount of onlinary crime, may be gronounced gonerslly setisfactory, A measure will submitled to yon at an early day for seftling the question of unfversity educstion in Ireland, It will bave for ita abject the advancement of learning in #hat portion of my dominions, and will be formed with a carefal regard to the rights of coeclence. Yon will find ample cccupation in d with other legislative subjects, the importance of which psrt has already Deen under your notice in varions forms at different peciods. Among these your attention will be speedily asked o the formation of a Supreme Court Judicature, including provisiona for the trisl of sppeals. Among the measuures, which will be brought before Fou also, are proposals for facilitating the transfer of and; for =0 emendment to our system of local faxation, and of zertain provielons of the Education act of 1870; general acts regulating raflways and canals, togethier with sther bills for the improvements of the laws, I earn- sstly commend your deliberations o the guidsnce and tavor of Almighty 6od. In the House of Lords, among the distin- tuished persons present at the opening of the eession, wero the Prince of VWales, Duke of Edinburgk, and Prince Teck. When the reading of the Queen's speech ended. Earl Clarendon rose, and moved the ad- dress in reply. Ho congratulated their Lord- ships on the removal of the long standing difficulties witt the Unitod States. In regar tothe Eastern guestion, he declared the Gov- ernment would " deal with it in a_prompt, decisive, ound, at the same time dig- nified manner, beceuse England witnesses with regret the encroachments of Ruesia, whose further movement would tend to the dimivation of the harmopy which has long provailed be- tyeen the two powers. - Lord Monteagle scconded the motion for the ddress in a short speech. Escl Derby then addressed the Houze. Ie denied that the Government could congratulate itzelf on the iesue of the San Juan 2od Alabama controversies, and maintained that thers wasa vast diffeerce between what was contended for in 1864 and tho absclute surronder of 1872. The effect of the Geneva decigion wonld be that Exgland wonid heroafter be liable to damages in matters wherein she could ma¥o uno claim on others. L Lord Graaville defended the course of the Goverument in bringing sbout the seitlement of the Alsbama Claims. ~ The condi question wiich had arisen corcerning Central Asin did not justify the rensational telegrams which created alxem here and eleowhera, It was not probable that the afiair would lead to serions complications. Tords Salisbury, Ripon, and Caims, followed witha discussion on the Geneva arbitration. ‘Tbé lattar held that the rnles as sdopted were 2mbiguous and liable to misinterprotation. The Lord Chaxncellor doprecated the course the debates had {akon on this subject, especially after tho vordict had been rendered. He defend. e1 the rules adopted by the Geneya Board, and declared they-ehonld bo msintained between England axd the United States, whether othar countries acoepted them or not. Tho Duke of Richmond objected not to the spirit of compromise, but to the fact that it had been cne-sided. He observed that the speech from the throne mada no referenca to the army. Thia omission was cspecially .to be rcg'mtted' &t this time, when desertiona from the ranka were moro frequent thau ever. The wotion for an address to {be Queen was 2dopted, and their Lordships rose. In the Honse of Commons, the address in re- pl¥ to the Queen's speach was made by the Hon. Charles Lytileton, who in his specch corgratu: Inted the Honee and the countryon the seitle- ment of all disputes with the United Siates. Although the decision was unfavorable to Eng- 1and thero was not the -slightest_ground for im- pagning the judgment of the Geneva Arbitra- 1058 or the German Empcror. . No nation should be slow to follow Englaud's examplo. Wijliam Stoue eecondsd the motion. . Disracli ross and was loudly cheered. Ho 2id he hed heard with alarm many things in tho royal epeech. Hs would not in tho tlightest ~ degree criticise the . sovereign an¢ wrbitrators who had given awards adveree to England. He had approved of the uegotiations of Washington, but could not'but condemn tho Drospective fules ad ted, The Government pretended that they followed Pelmerston, but that statosman would never bave piasced England in sach s dangerous and undignified position. The Geneva judgment ehowed thet the Government was totally wrong. What would bo its effect on the fature position of the countrv? Yaat was the scope of the term “dne diligence?” Was it in secord with our municipal 1aw? or, aa the Arbitrators said such as to totally prohibit the evil complained of 3 Was 'England absolutely bound to stop vessels violating the neutrality Iaws, whether suspscted ornoti Inthecass of a ‘commiseioned vessel ¥, Wiio bad under- that would be an act of war, involving usin hostilities immediately. Tho Washington Treaty bound the Government to sdoptnew laws and urge them on other countries. Did the Govern- ment intend to adopt its own interpretation, or that of the Geneva Board? These wore most important quostions. They involved the high- est intoresis asd honor of England. |He did npot question the Crown's rerogative to nogoliate treaties, but e objected to the XMinistry entering upon & tresty which compelled the alteration of our municipal Iaw. fr. Disraeli next turned his attention to the paragraph in the Queon's speech Soncerning nogotiations wish Russia for the reservalion of poace in Central Asin, Ho Poped the papers on tis subject which the Gov- yroment hiad promised to Iny before the House svould be full and satisfactory. Bhould Russid attempt to seize c°mmfi“§lf’ and conquer India, she would and must resisted, ' He Tioped diplomacy would settle the question, but War must, if Decessary, - ¢ Mr. Horsman severely criticised the Govern- ment’s foreign policy, which was involving the country in new and serions complications, ~ The Geneva decision was one-sided and bumiliating. e hoped the case was an exceptional one, aund, as such, was to be accepted by the force of ne~ cessity. . Bernal Osborne condemned arbitration, but believed the less said about it the botter. Any outlay which secured the good will of America was a profitable investmont. Ho thought that the result might have been obtained without sac- crifice and humiliation. Mr. Gladstono _followed. with - gon- eral _dsfence of - the Boyal _speech. Replying. o the criticisms on the monger in which the disputes with America had been settled, he declared that if a similar case should arise, arbitration would again be re~ sorted to. Honor had not been sacrificed, and the horrors of war bad been averted. Noaltera~ tion of the municipal law was rutgx‘imd. The debate was continued by Catherne, Hardy, Ver- non, Harcourt, and others. —_— FRANCE.

A Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. Senixarrern, I, Feb, G,—The prospect of confirmation grows gloomy. Senator Palmer socured a telegram from a convention of farmers in- Iroquois’ County, instructing him to vote ageinst confirmation, and use his influence to retein Morgan. Shaw, of the House, was called to Freeport, to address a Farmers’ Conveution. He weut away bittorly opposed to confirmation, and vn'lf retnm strengthened. 'Therejected candidates end poli- ticians are electioneering to defeat the momi- nees, 50 that there may bo a new.deal. Some of them suggest that the thros gentlemen resign avd relieve the Goyernor of his embarrassment: This is anotner dodge to get in their friends, but it won't work, 18 the nominees believe their repatations have been unjustly asesiled, snd they cannot afford to rotreat. Mr. McCrea amived to-dsy, not to seek in- formation, he says, but to correct the misrepre- sentations of the Chicago Journal, It is be- givning to be understood that the Journals :flosilion is Bgmonnl leen, and whatover influence the Journal might have had sgainst him on public grounds is being diesipated. Hig chinnces ara botter to-night than they have ever been, and ho stands the best show for the con- firmation. Morgan is here awaiting events. The oppoai- tion held snother caucus to-night, it baving transpired to-day that several members wers in favor of some of the nominees and desired to Yote upon them separately. It is now probable the Opposition wxlj vote 28 & unit against con- firmeation, and assist the recaleitrant Repub- licans in defeating the nominees and snubbing the Governor. The Governor is firm, and will not recede until the Senatoacts. Slceting of ithe Grange Patrons of usbandry at Erecporte- Protest Agninst Governor Beveridge’s Nome= inntions.

A Portion of tse Stofen Property Found in Their Possession---How the Capiure Was Effected. It will bo remembered that about thres weeks 8g0 Mr. Isaac Mills, tho agent of an extensive jewelry house of New York, was robbed at the Tremont House of $20,000 worth of jewelry, under circumatances which left no doubt but that the theft had been committed by some per- eon gkilled in the profeseion. Since the publi- <ation in this paper of the article relating the above facts, mothing has appeared concerning the matter, simply bo- cause thero has been nmothmg de- veloped. Fow extensive robberies huve been 80 long hidden iu derkness, and the best wit and skill of Chicago dotectives waa for a long timo bafled. Yeaterday afternoon, however, one of the many traps which have been Iaid to catch the thieves was successfal, and this morning two of the parties concerned in the robbery are safely caged, and at least half of the jewelry is in the possession of Detective Tyrrell. Tho facts concerning the arrest of tho rob- bers are a8 follows: About two weeks ago, Mr. Philo W. Bcofield, of New York, in the course of his legitimate businees, came acrosatwo men who informed him that they were about to close up & jowelry store in some small town not far from Chicago, and that theyhad on hand a large siock, ‘which they would dispose of st n bargain. Mr. Scofield, not suspect; ing that thero was soything wroug, agreed to moet the parties on a certain day, and Jook through the stock. Accordingly, on tho day set Mr. Scoficld met the parties at the ap- pointed place, and the jewelry was exposed to view. After examining it, he want away, prom- ising to make some purchases from the stock, if ho did_ mot buy the whole of it. During _ his _exammation of thostock, Bcofield, being familiar with the manufacture of the goods teken from tho Tro- mont House, was persuaded that the mperty being exhibited to him was none otner that stolen. He, howaver, conducted himself with commendable coolness, and called again to see the stock, this time familisrizing himself with the goods, and becoming better acuainted with the parties. This visit was made last Wednes- day. Thursday morning Beofield called upon Buperintendent Washburn, -and informed him of ‘what had transpired. Mr.Washburn immediate- Iy sent for Detective Tyirell, and the following plan of operations was sgreed on: Boofield was to Bee the parties in whose possossion the jewel- ry was, and agree to take it. A place where tho tranafer could be made was to be agraed on, and when_the transfer was completed, Detective Tyrrell and & prominent jewelry merchant of this city were 1o appear and arrast the parties. The robbers euggested an open lot near the corner of Adams and Peoris streets, which is usod a8 o corral, as a place where the tranefer might be successtully made. 7o this Scofield consented, and yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'cloc! was the time appointed.” Scofield communizate these facts to Tyrrell, and it was decided that Tyrrell would drive in that vicinity at the hour agrecd upon. In accordsnce with the arrange- ments, Scotield went to the lot above described, about half-past 3 yesterday afternoon, where he wes shortly joined by the thieves, who drove to the place in & top buggy, having the jewelry with them. The hour of £ o'clock had come, and yet Mr. Tyrrell bad not appeared. Mr. Scofield began to grow uneasy, for he had detained the thieves, in parleying about the price, until he feare their suspicions were aroused regarding his true character. To allay these, he mado ome re- marka about their being Eesn, and perhaps it would be Letter {0 go somevhere else, and com- lote ihe transfor. Scofield hoped {hat e could so deisy their departure that they would not ot started until the arrival of Tyrrell. The two thicves had placed the jewelry in the buggy, and had got in themselves, when Scofield observed ell walking east on Adsms street, while his buggy was being driven by the jewolry merchant in the samo direction. Scofiéld, dropping his cap and stambling in his efiorts to get into the ougey, delayed_tho depariure of the robbers until Tyrrell and his companion swere close upag them. "The robbers saw them coming, and imi- medistely secmed to comprchend that thoy were the victims of & conspiracy. They struck their horse with a whip, and started off at 2 rapid rate. But Tyrrell's buggy was so near them that the driver was enabled to lock wheels with the vebicle in which the thieves rode, and thus stop them. As soon a8 they found themselves in this predicament, the robbers abandoned their buggy, taking with them the package of jewelry. Tyrrell and Scofield gave chaee, and rEickIy cama up with them. Tyrrell caught tha thief who carricd_the package with little difficulty, but Scofield did not get hold of the other thief, until he had fired several shots at him, soverely wounding him in the right hand. The affair created great excitement in the neighborhood, where it was eupposed to bo & simple shooting aflrey. The robbers were taken £ tho cells in the City Hall bullding. They re- fuso to givo any names, and are exceedingly moody and silent. Both are genteal in appear- ance, and are strangera to the detectios of this city. The jewelry has boen identified boyond a doubt, and informaation is in possession of the detectives, which, it is _belleved, will lead to the recovery of tho remainder of it. Too much credit cannot be given 3Ir. Scofield, throngh whose de- liberate action the captpre of tho thieves was effected. M. Mills, the gontlemsn who wes_robbed of this valuable collection of jewelry, will be in the city to-day to identify his propertyand prosecute the criminals. NEW YORK. Proposed Consolidation of New York nnd Brooklyn---Harbor Master Frauds---Samana Bay---The Court of Sessions--~Frobably a Struck Jury for Twecd-mSuits Dismissede—Two Fire Bugs Arrested in Erooklyhies= A ¥orrld Story--=Miscellaneons Lo= cal News. Speciad Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yorg, Feb. 6.—A young man namod Irv- ing Smith? hza cansed the arrest, in Brooklyn, of two young men, aged about 20, named David Dowd and Eugene Small, alleging that they have caused many of the recent fires in Brooklyn. He states that they havo madoincondiarisma busi- nees for the purpose of robbery, and names the Bushwick avenue car stable fire, which destroy~ ed aixty horses, and over a dozen other fires, as their handiwork. Ho charges that they set Ellis Dodaworth's stable on fire recently, hoping that the wind, which was blowing in the right direc- tion, would carry the flames to & row of frame tenements. Hsad this succeeded many lives might have been lost, and that on another occa- sion Dowd and Small endeavored to hire_boys, 2t 81 ecch, to set fire to & house, intending to inform on them, and get tho money which had been offered for their detection. Dowd aud Small are in jail. Both they and the informer are respectably connected. Coroner Jones believes there is a mystery con- nected with the death of Jacob Enoop, who was found almost devoured by his mastift dog on the second floor of a miserablo rookery in Brooklyn, yesterday. The head of the unfortunate man as on the floor, with his neck gnawed close to his beard in front and the baze of the brain behind. The cheels were still red and fresh-looking. Asmall piece of the livdr and one arm from the shoulder- socket down lay near by. The deah above the elbow, which had been recently eaten into, was far from decaved; but the lower partof the forearm and hand, which had become entangled in the shirt, were slightly blackened by death. Only two large bones, without _socket-knob, P tobe shin bones, and six small bones, which may have belonged to the missing hand, were all wero found. Besides the Dones of the spine, thigh bores, pelvis. Jarga bones of fhe right arm_ coliarbone, shoul ler tlades, and bones af thefeet; nota vestige remains. Itis be- ligved unposaible that the dog awallowed thess missing bones. The Coronor has had the ani- mal refuse in the building carefully_collected, and finds the aggregato very small indeed.

CINCINNATI. The Firm of Morton & Fremont Dee= clared Bankrupt. Special Despatek. to The Chicago Tribune. Crxcixyart, Feb. 6.—A decision of great in- terest was made by Judge Swing in the United States Court to-day, in a case involving the re- sponsibility of membors of a firm for the acts artner performod in their absence, without their knowledge, but while in the capacity of an sgant delegated to contrcl the business. . What ids to the interest is that General Jobn C. .Fremont was one of the mem-’ bers of this frm to-dsy adjndged bankrupt. Three years ago the firm originated znd took a contract to excavate a railway tuonel two miles in Jength under Walnut Hill, to make a short Toute from Cincicnati north. Thongh mo real work was done, quite an amount of preparation was made. Oneitem of expense was lumber, for which Morton s agent of the firm gave o note, which has not yet been paid, though due several montbs mgo. On ' this delinquency a judgment of bankruptcy was ob- teined. Carts, horses, wagons and tools, the property of the firm, were sold by Liorton, agent of the firm in the absence of General Fre- mont, for 25,5%0. The petition to adjudge this an act of bankraptcy involved other litigation, that Morton, a8 agont, had absented himeelf from Cincinnati~ to dodge the law, and that the transaction was with fraudulent intentions. It was decided by Jndg:n?w;ng that Morton delegated as agent of the did not bind the other member, Fre- mont, to this transaction, which was notin the line of legitimate business of tho firm, and that this act wes not an act of bankraptcy except as to Morton alone. Judge Swing held that in order to sus- tain joint adjudication against two or more persons it is necessary that some act of bankruptey ehould be committed by each one ; that sssignmont by one of the parties of & partnerehi]; with fraudulent intent to hinder and delay their creditors, or for. the purposs of evading theprovisions of the Bankrupt Iaw, and concealment of himself to prevent the garvico of & summons, were mnot acting within _the usual business of the firm, and could not in Iaw be regarded as the act of tho partners not consenting thersto. But that of .giving commercial preer for the purpose of carrying on a businesa by one partner was bind- ing upon all members of the partnership, aad tho suspension of the payment thereof, and the non-resumption for fourtcen days, as per allega- tion, was in Iaw the act of all of the partners. Crxervyatr, Feb. 6.—In the United Stazes Court of the First District of Ohio (Ctncinnati) the Hon. P. B. Swing, Judge, & decision wes rendered to-day granting the petition of James T. Willismson' to have the firm styled 8. W. AMorton & Co. sdjudged bankrupt, on declara- tion of petitioner tiat they had stopped payment of their commercial paper for fourteen days, in that they gave & note to plaintiff in pay- men} for lumber, 4nd neglectod fo pay the Facse when doe. The membera of the firm are 8. W. MMorton and Jobn C. Fremout. Itsbusiness was 1o excavate a tunnel under the Wealnut Hills at Cincinnati. Tho case came up om s demiwrer to the petition by defence. Four counts of acts of bankruptey { were alleged. The firm was adjudged bankraps on the first count above rcoited, whilo the peti- tion on the remaining thres counts was dismiss- ed, on the ground that the ac:s_alleged, though committed by a member of the firm, weze not iu tho line proper of the firm, and thaf 8. W. Mor- ton, who committed these acts, and uot tho firm of whichihe was & member, was reeponsiblo. The allegations were dismissed as the acts of Morton alone wera that the firm sold and conveyed per- sonal property to an_individual when insolvent, and in contemplation of insolvency, and that they made this sale with intent to hinder, de- Iay, and defraud creditors, and fhat, to avoid legal process, they absented themsclves six months from 'the First District of Ohio.
