LORDS AND GENTLEMEN—We have it in command from ler Majesty again to imyite you to reswme your arduous duties, and to express the regret of her Majesty that her recent tudisposition has pre- vented her from meeting you in person, as it had been her intention to do. You reassemble at @ period of remarkable public interest. Friendly sentiments are entertained in all quar- ters towaras tis country, and these feelings her Majesty cordially reciprocates. Tuere 19 a growing Gispositiva among nations to resort to the good Offices of their aliies in cases of international differ ence, The coucitiatory spirit tn which several such cases have recently been treated and determined encourage her Majesty’s confidence in the main- tenance of general tranquility, Papers wili be laid before you tn reference to the recent occurrences in New Zealand, Gentlemen of the House of Commons, the eati- mates for the approaching financial year are in Torward state of preparation. They are framed with @ View 1p the Orst piace the effective malmtenance of the public estabushments, and will impose a di- minished charge upon her Majesty’s subjects, The condition of the reveaue has answered the expecta- ‘tions formed in the past session. Her Majesty trusts you will be disposed to carry into completion tue mguiry you last year instituted into the mode of conducting Varliamentary and mu- nictpal elections, and thus prepare materials usetul for early legisiation, Lords and gentlemen, 1¢ will be proposed to amend the laws respectiny the oceupation and ac- quisition of land in Ireland in @ manner adapted to the peculiar circumstances of that country, and cal- culated, as her Majesty believes, to bring about im- Proved relations between the several classes con- cerned in Irish agriculture, who collectively consti- tute the great bulk of tue people. These provisions, Matured by your impartiality and wisdom, as her Majesty trusts, will tend to inspire among persuns with whom such sentiments may stil be wanting that steady confidence in iaw and desire to render assistance in its effective administration Which mark her Majesty’s subjects in general. ‘nis will aid in consohdating the 1abric of the empire. We are further directea by her Majesty to state that many other subjects of public importance @ppear to demand your care, and among these es- pecially to inform you that a bill bas been prepared for the enlargement on a comprehensive scale of the means of nationai education. In fulfilment of an engagement to the government of the United States a bill will be proposed to you for the purpose of defining the status of subjects who are citizens of foreign countries and who may desire naturalization, and of alding them tn the attainment of that object. You will be invited co cousider bills prepared in compliance with the report of the Commision on courts of juaicature for the improvement of the constitution and procedure of the superior tribunal of original appellate jurisdiction. The question of religious tests tn the universities and colleges of Oxford and Cambridge has been under discussion for many years. Her Majesty re- commends such @ legislative settlement of the ques- tion as may contribute to extend the usefulness of those great institutions and heighten the respect ‘With which they are justly regarded, . Bilis have been prepared for extending the inct- dence of rating and for placing the collection of the large sums locally raised for various purposes ona Bimpile and uniform footing. Her Majesty likewise recommends you to under- take the amendment of the laws which regulate and grant licenses for the sale of fermented and spirit. uous liquors.

Winle commending to you these welghty matters of legisiation ber Majesty commands us to add that the recent extension of agrarian crime in several parts of Ireland, with 13 train of accompanying evils, has filled her Majesty with pataful coucern, The executive has employed freely the means at its commiand for the prevention of outrage. Partial improvement may be observed, although the num. ber of offeuces within this class of crime has been by no means so great as at former periods. Tue in- disposition to give evidence in aid of the adminis. tration of justice has been alike remarkable and in- jurious, For the removal of such evils her Majesty places matn reliance on the permanent operation of wise and necessary cla in the laws. She will not hesitate to recommend the adoption of special provisions shovld such a policy appear during the session to be required by the paramount interest of peace and order. Upon these and all other subjects her Majesty de- voutly prays that your jabors may be constantly at- tended by the biessing of God. The Lords in Reply. LONDON, Feb. 8, 1870, At the conclusion of the reading of the Queen's speech to-day the Marquis of Huntley, who was in ud costume, moved the address in reply to the throne, and the motion was seconded by the Eari of Vingal. The address in reply refers almost solely to the Irish question. A promise 1s Made thatthe House of Lords will consider the question generously and justly, contené the tenants, aad give peace and pros- perity to the population. The Lord Ohanceilor said be regretted the absence of the Queen and heped that she would soon be in tmproved lealth, The relations of Great Britain with forcign Powers Were satisfactory. It was unforta- nate in her opening that the Queen’s speech made no allusion to the afairs of the colonies, their well. bemg uot being a mutter of indifference. He also regretted the absenee of any reference to the ais tress prevailing in the country, It would have been ‘Weill to haye told the suferers that their case was understood and sympathy was felt for them. The relerence to national education was commendable; but he Was amazed to see Scotiand and frelaud leit out of the scneme. Alter commenting briefly on other toptes of the speech the Lord Chancellor gave Way toa motion for adjournment. { She motion to adjourn way not carried, Earl Granville rose and congratulated Lord Cairns On resuuilog the leadersuip of bis party mm the House & Of Loras, Hethen went tnto a vindication of Wbe Policy of the government in Ireland, ‘That polid.’ was already producing the best effects. The government had been unremitting in ite efforts to establish order. Scully's case was among the earliest of the agrarian outrages, and was unl- versally reprobated. He justified the course pur- sued towards Maddon, who refused to serve the Sherif, and ended by depricating the presence of party feeling on the Giscussion of the land question. Eari Grey feared that the action of the last session had persuaded the Irish that the House was intimt- dated. Nothing, was left but rigor in the matute- Wance of order. The Dake of Mariborough deprecated any forbear- ance, The remedial measures of the government haa been a failure, and now visionary hopes were rampant. Lora Monek replied to Earl Grey by quoting 9 speech made by him in 1846, in which he expressed. ® preference for remedial to coercive measures. Lord Monck thought the Ministerial plan an eflec- tive one, With this speech the debate closed, and the ad- dress was agreed to. Lord Redesaale was re-elected Chairman of Com- mittees of the House of Loras, The House shen adjourned, Scepe in the House of Commous—Mr. Gilad- stene’s Receptiou—O’ Donovan Rossa’s Seat— The Irish Land Question aud New Bills. Lonpon, Feb. 8, 1870, {n the House of Commons to-day, after the session of Parliament was opened, many new members were sworn in, and a new writ of election for Dublin Unt- Versity was issued. Mr. Gladstone on entering the Chamber was vehe- mently cheered. One of his first ofictal acts was to give notice that he should move for the expuision of the member from Tipperary from the roti because he was under @ sentence of penal servitude, and the seat was con- sequently vacant. Notices were also given of the introduction of an Irish land ‘bill, an education biil and bills for the abolition of compulsory pilotage and for the repeal of the minority clauses in the Reform bill, The Commons’ Address to the Crown—Mr. Disracli’s Position. Lonpon, Feb, 8, 1870. During the proceedings in the House of Commons, in accordance with the arrangement previously an- nounced, Captain Francis Egerton, Member for East Derbyshire, moved the reply to the Queen’s Speech, and supported his motion with a few remarks. He said the programme was most satisfactory, The royal speech was marked by care and ability. The measures promised were sure to be framed with care and prudence and debated without faction, and he was confident they wouid have the approval and support of the House, _ Mr. Charies Wentworth Delke, member for Chel- Sea, seconded the motion, He declared that the Programme of the government was the most elabo- rate ever laid before the House. The country re- quired that they shouid carry the measure proposed, including the abolition of the university testa. He hoped for legisiation also on trades unlous and other Social questions. He was confident of tne justice and fairness of the Ministers in all things. Mr. Disracli then rose to speak and was heartily cheered. He thought discussion of important topics at such @ moment untimely. he would only refer briefly to Ireland, The government tardily admitted that the state of that country was unsatisfactory, and made reforms contingent on future laws. Ireland was full of disaffection, murder and secret societies, The government was pound to intervene. Old excuses, like that of the partiality of Irish juries, were now inadmissible. The loyalists were ue pressed and insulted, The Vatholic priests hearty supported the government. Trade in this agitation was made desperate by tne whig policy. Fentan influence, which had originated in Amgrica, and had been checked by the Marquis of Abercorn when Lord Lieusenant of Ireland, was now reviving. The land tenure still remained unchanged, and, there- fore, could not be heia responsible for the troubies unless Ireland had bodily gone mad. She certamly cherished hopes suggested by the goverament which it would be impossible to realize. Mr. Gladstone replied, fe admitted the dimicult position of the government. ‘Their opponents, in- deed, admitted the gravity of the situation, to remedy which the present may be the last opporiu- nity. He complimented Mr, Disraeli on the modera tion of his speech, The present government, he added, desired to try further remedies, He ascribed the tone of Mr. Disraeli’s speech to a wish to satisfy extremes ana a craving for coercion, He eulogized the Cathoiic ciergy of Ireland for their loyalty and good sense, ‘The present government, he declared, was misunder: stood in Ireland, He proceeded to answer seriatim the charges made by Mr. Disraeli, and concluded with tne declaration that he was conscious of having falfilea his intention of seeking, in all frankness and fairness, conciliation rather than opposition. After desultory speeches from some new members and others better known the House adjourned. Electric Cabies Extension. Lonpon, Feb. 8, 1870.

He congratu- lates the Legislatnre that they are the lawfully con- stituted general assembly of the sovereign State of Virginia, @ State that, notwithstanding fundamental conditions, as futile as unnecessary, Is co-equal in all herrights and prerogatives with any and every State in the American Union. “You and I,” the mes- sage states, ‘have qualified by taking the same oath Of office, and we have solemnly pledged ourselves before Heaven to support and maintain the constitu- tion and laws of the United States, as weil as of the State of Virginia; that we recognize and accept tue civiland political equality of all men before the Jaw, ana that we will fatthfwliy perform our oMcial duties to the best of our avilitics.

Panis, Jan, 20, 1870, The profound tsensation occasioned by the fatal EBonaparte-Noir affray has passed away, and the in- dignation and horror expressed by the public on the first news of the event are considerably modified by the information which has since leaked out. (here 18 no doubt tat the friends of Rochefort were resolved to prevent a cuel between a and Pierre Bonaparte. You may remember that the latter sent the editor of the Aarseitiaise a challenge for a very scandalous atta eon bin in the columns of that journal, and enough was kKuown of the determined aud violent character of the Priuce to convince the friends of Rochefort that if the duel took place 16 would be a deadly one. To prevent the coulision taking place was, therefore, a prime object, aud to accomplisa this it was settled that a chailei should be sent by one of the writers for Rochefort, named Grousset, to Pierre Bonaparte, and that if he refused to accept tt some intolerable affront should be given that wouid lead toaconflicton the spot, and entail consequences that would certatuly prevent any Oght between Rochefort and his antagonist. Vor this purpose two men were selected to carry the chalienge of Grons- set, who were well adapted to the purpose ia view. Victor Noir, or Salomon, his real name, one of the bearers of the cartel in question, was a well-known buily. He was remarkable for his herculean strength and was constantly engaged tn brawis and quarrels, His previous career, it turns out, was far from cre- dirable, having no regular occupation, and in the habit of picking up a livelihood by any precarious that offered, Ho had been bitched on to the v onnel of the Marseiliatse journal, which was founded a month ago, as the fighting editor, as it was foreseen that such a supplement wonld be wanted {rom tae very uggrossive Course Kochefort iatended Lo pursue. v juan who accompanied Notr, named Fonveille, Was also a retainer of Rochefort’s journal, and itke- wise known for his quarrelzome character. He 1s proved so have been well armed with sword cane and revolver. These two men entered te house of Pierre Bonapart 1ers, Grousset and I repeat the co: pUOn 1s KaAluIDE ground daily that the sole obje of Nolr and Fons ete Was to entrap Bonaparte into & contest of sou Tt sv as to prevent the due Rochefort woul¢ ged to tight with the maa he had coarsely abused.

It was announced by all the revolutionary organs with great parade that the fuperal of we “martyr of 1verty’? would take place on Wednesday at one o'clock, aud Paris was toia to siut up shop and turn outen masse, There was au immense assem- biage Of all sorts, your humble servant meinded, to see and hear all that might or could or would bap- pen. it was intended by Kochefort and the revolu- onists to March turough Yaris to the cewevery of Pere ia Cnaise, and it was calculated that tis would surely bring on an attempt at revoiution. ‘The new Ministers promptly resolved on their course. ‘They notified the ringleaders, Rochefort and the rest, that they would not be allowed to trow Paris into confusion for a whole day, and that if they aitempted marching through the streets, as anuounced, they would instantly be dispersed. She garrison of Paris, 50,000 strong, Was put under urns, and thus the goveruament calmly lavited the revolution to show itwelf if it dared, Kochefort and lis fellows qualied before te West, aud almost on their knees they begged the masses not to enter Paris; for the funeral prdécession assembied at Au- ven, @ Village two mules trom Wie capital, Rochefort spoke to the crowds again and agala, aud said the government was armed and prepared for @ conficy, and that if they entered Paris they would ali be massacred for nothing. Nothing could be truer than tis, and yet the same iDdividual Need the day be- fore was hounding on the masses of Paris to rise and cut throats right and leit, ie Tesult proves: that very few of the thousands assembled fad ihe least intention of fighting or dying to make Roche- fort President Of & Fepudic. No; Lor aiver tho fune- ral was over, in the adjoiming village of Nouilly some thousands of people came into Paria, following the hack of Rochelort, singing the “Marseiilaisc”’ and shouting “Vive ia Repuoique?” as joud as they could yell. ‘They ail catae down the Champs Eiysous, and when they had nearly reached tue Jace de la Concorde @ single regiment of cavairy, with perhaps & hyndred of vue police, drew up across the road stampede commenced on & mone Out of his hack and said to the officer my way to the Chamber of member,”’ and he took o: enero rewiment MN noth, Bnal proof of what: that @ revolution in Pp; “ant insurrection, ta Brg hy tom of 5 ot @ NO gbjection for a sere o” # funeFal, and sing Shout dll thelr luvgs are word Out, but to #tana and be shot down to oblige Roch and his myrinidons, not @ vit of it, and so they it mell. Besides, they know there is nothing to gut lor beyoud making Roche- fort Emperor or Presidewt. There are no abuses of grievances the goveruinent of the day is not anxious to remove when they are out, It 18 quite certain that Rochefort's pluck or bra- vado quite forsook him on Weaiiesday. He was pale 8 @ ghost, all accounts say, and fainted two or turee Unes. He aid not even show binself at the Cemetery of Neuilly. ‘The consequence 1s that his quoudau Worshippers think it necessary, in order Ww hide their Judicrous discomfvure, to d hier him a4 a coward and traitor, This was done last night at a formal mee! of the loalera who con- stitute (he seif-clected revolutionary junta, Alas for Rocheiort!
