• ( 1.• THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1867. (WENING OF PARLIA3IENT. , Lard John Manners, Mr. Hardy, and Sir S. North cote. As soon as tranquillity had been restored, The Lord Chancellor, by command of her Ma jesty, read the speech, the various paragraphs of which he delivered with great distinctness and ap propriate emphasis. At the close of the speech the Queen rose front the throne, and all who had seats rose at the same time. As her Majesty stepped upon the floor, the Duke of Edinburgh came forward and kissed her hand. The Queen saluted him upon the cheek, and, having exchanged a similar embrace with the Prince of Wales, left the house, preceded and fol lowed by the great officers of state, in the same order in which they had entered it. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Cam bridge, and Prince Teck left the house with the royal cortege, and in a few minutiae the brilliant assembly which had tilled the chamber was rapidly dispersing. It was not till a late hour yesterday that the peers themselves began to drop in, and the right rev. prelates were the first to ake their ap pearance. The Archbishop of York arrived before his most rev. brother of Canterbury, but he had been preceded by two or three other members of the episcopal bench. Soon after the Primate had taken his seat, the Bishepa of Oxford and London entered the house toge ther. Tile latter prelate appeared quite as well as could have been expected, but his county niunv showed traces of his recent in Its position. Both the archbishops and bisnops wore robes of scarlet and capes of ermine. The first member of the diplomatic corps to take his place in the space allotted to the members of that biely aas M. Van de Weyer, the Belgian minister, who was in full uniform, and wore the Masai of the order of Leopold. He was speedily followed by the representatives of some of the or states, and, rather later, the ambassadors of the great le iwers, France, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Turkey entered the house in rapid succession, and were marshalled to their places by Sir E. Coast, her Majesty's Master of the Ceremonies. The judicial bench was early represented in the persons of the new Chief Baron, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, and Barons Bramwell and Channel]. The learned barons a ere Speedily followed by Mr. Justice Mellor, and seen afterwards Justices Shee and Lush entered the house together, and took their seats rum tug their brethren. The judges of the Common Pleas did not arrive till late, but when they iliil come they appeared in force. Lord Chief Justice liovill and Justices Keating, Byles, and Smith all arrived together, and when they had taken their places, the woolsack was completely occupied. During all this time the lay peers had been drop ping in one by one, and the benches appropriated to their reception were soon covered with scarlet and ermine robes. The first peer who took his seat was the Earl of Westmorland, and for a brief apace he sat the only lord among a crowd of ladies. Soon, however, other noble lords came in and re lieved him of his appearance of singularity. By and bye the towering form of Lord Evcrsley passed down the house, and he was speedily followed by Lord Dutferin, the Earl of Roden, Lord Overstone, and Lord Churston. Earl Oranville Caine in a little before half-past one o'clock. The noble earl appeared to be in excellent spirits ; and after a shwa conversation with several noble lords and ladies, took his seat upon the bench allotted U. peers of his rank. Among the next to arrive were Viscount Sydney, the Duke of Sutherland, Earl Darnley, and the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot. At half-past one o'clock the Lard Chancellor entered the house by the bar, preceded by the mace and purse bearers, and followed by other members of his suite. The noble and learned lord sat for a short time upon the woolsack, and afterwards passed to the space to the left of the throne, without the formal boundaries of the house, where he remained until the arrival of her Majesty. The Earl of Derby entered the house shortly before two o'clock, and stood for some time near the throne, talking with his political friends. His manner was as lively and animated as usual, and, beyond a slight paleness, he showed no trace of having but recently reco vered from an attack of the gout. The Earl of Malmesbury also appeared for a short time in the house. but he speedily left it in order to await the arrival of the Queen. The late comers included the Dukes of Argyll and St. Albans, the Marquis of Westmeath, Lord Lytton, Earl Fortescue, and Lord Ehury ; and the last of all was the Earl of Cardigan, who for some time looked in vain for a vacant seat, hut at last found a resting place upon one of the benches to the right of the throne. The tirst member of the royal family to make his appearance was Prince Teck, who wore the very handsome uniform of one of the regiments of hussars in the Austrian army. His highness was accommodated with a seat immediately without the house, on the right hand side of the throne, closely adjoining the episcopal bench, and re ceived a good deal of attention from the ilitlerent members of the diplomatic corps as they arrived. Their Roval Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Duke of gdinburgh, and the Duke of Cambridge entered the house together, and after chatting for a short time with Lord Derby—whom the Prince of Wales shook cordially by the hand—took their seats upon the front bench, immediately on the left of the woolsack. Thu other occupants of this bench were the Dukes of St. Atbansand Sutherland. HOUSE OF LORDS. The house resumed at 5 o'clock. There wee a numerous attendance of peers. The side galleries were occupied by ladies. The Princess of Wales was present during the greater part of the debate. On the opposition benches, which were first filled, were Earl Rummell, Lord Stanley of Alderley, the Duke of Somerset, Lord Halifax, Earl de Gre7 and Ripon, Earl of Clarendon, Lord Kimberley, and laud Dalhousie. The first occupants of the ministerial bench were the Earl of Derby, the Duke of Montrose, the Earl of Longford, the Earl of Belmore, the Duke of Marlborough, and the Duke of Buckingham. On the cross bench were the Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Harrowby, Earl Grey, and the Marquis of Clanri carde. On the episcopal bench the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishops of Winchester, Peterborough, Oxford, St. David's, Sa lis bury, Ely, Manchester, Eland&lf, St. Asaph, and Bangor. RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY. . The Earl of Loncroal) brought up the report of the royal a:minimal= on recruiting for the army. NEW PEEK& Viscount Moiscx took the oaths and his seat on being crested a peer of the United Kingdom. Viscount 801141 took the oaths, and signed the parlia mentary roll as Baron Brancepath. Boon after two o'clock the splendid chamber was almost completely filled, and despite the dulness; of the afternoon, which deprived it of much needed sunlight, the scene which it pre sented was most brilliant and impressive. The varied and delicate toilets of the ladles, the rich robes of the peers, the brilliant ueiforms of the ambassadors, and the gorgeous costumes of two or three Indian princes who occupied '-eats in one of the galleries, contrasted vividly with each other ; while the effect was heightened by the hush which had succeeded to the limn of conversation, and held the spectators silent in anticipation of the entry of the most ilh.;trious actor in the coining spectacle. In a mii.ate or two the doors, which had previously been closed, were thrown open, and while all present from their seats—the ladies as they did so dropping from their shoulders the many coloured shawls and cloaks which had hitherto con cealed them—the royal procession e•stered the house by the door on the ri ; lit of the throne. First came the heralds, who as they passed before the anew of state bowed slightly, but not with a full obeisance to the royal chair, which was half covered by the ermine ndies of state. They were followed by the great ofecera of state, Lord Royston Treasurer of the Household, Lord Malmesbery(the Lord Privy Seal), Lou Col ville of Cidross, the Lord Chancellor, the E:n•1 of Derby. who carried the sword of state, awl the Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Bradford. Imme diately after the last-named functionarie; came her Majesty,whowasaccompanied by the Princesses Louise and Beatrice and Prince Arthur, and fol lowed by the Ditches of Wellington, Mistress of the Robes, the Duke of Richmond, carry iag the crown, the Marquis of Winchester bearing the cap of maintenance, Lord E. Howard acting as Deputy Earl Marshal, the Duke of Buck i , i4ham, Lord President of the Council, and the Duke of Marlborough. As soon as the Queen bad seated herself upon the throne the royal princesses took their stations upon left hand, and the various high functionaries ranged themselves according to the order observe 1 on all similar occasions. The Earl of Derby, Dont Mahnesbury, and the Lord Chamberlain sto d on the left of tho throne ; on the right were the Dukes of Richmond, Marlborough, and Buckingh;on, and the Duchess of Wellington. The Prince of Wales, who had left his seat when her Majesty en tered the house, also stood on this tide of the throne, almost close to Prince Tea. Her Majesty seemed to be in excellent healt:i. She wore a black silk dress trimmed with ermine, a white veil fastened on the forehead with a diamond clasp or aigrette, and a diamond necklace. Her gloves were black. The Princesses Lou: ye and Beatrice were dressed in white satin, ao•l wore white wreaths. As soon as the Queen had taken her place, the Lord Chancellor, by her command, desired their lordships to be seated. The peers at once resumed their seatk, and the ladies settled down into their place 3 with a gentle sound like the flut tering of a flock of pigeons as they alight upon the ground, or die rustling of leaves as they fall in autumn. Immediately afterwards Sir Aagustus Clifford, usher of the black rod, loft the house to summon the Commons ; and returned in a few minutes, accompanied by the Speaker and Se r,:eant at-Arms, and followed by a crowd of hon. niember.4, who burst into the space below the bar with a rush that threatened to carry all before them, !al for some moments struggled violently for the al.pro priation of the limited area set apart for their re ception. Mr. Disraeli succeeded to obta:ning a position on the right hand of the Speaker, and im mediately behind that right hon. gentlem::n were announced, And ulthnately Sir D. le Merchant, finding the house nearly deserted, left off calling upon hon. members and resumed his seat. The return of the Speaker was announced by Mr. White at half-past two. The right lion. gentleman passed up the house, and went to his private rooms. . . For about three-quarters of an hour there was a com mingling of members on the floor of the house, chatting over the panignphs in the royal speech, and then they departed and left the house to be exhibited to ladi es an d others who were fortunate enough to obtain admittance. The Speaker again took his seat at a quarter to four o'clock, attired in his ordinary official dress ; and Mr. Lowe entered at the same time, and took his seat on the opposition bench below the gangway. so long, and so long only, as they exercise their own rights without prejudice to the rights of other. (Cheers.) There is one other subject upon which I wish to detain the house a few moments, and it is a subject to which, as has been tightly said by the hon. gentleman the member for Liverpool, there attaches at the present time an all-absorbing interest—l mean the question of the representation of the people. (Hear, hear.) I will first offer a comment on that w hi c h m an y a us had anxiously expected, and which probably for some good and sufficient cause does not appear in the speech. I presume that probably it is because the recent inquiries into the corrupt practices in certain boroughs are nut so absolutely completed as to enable the government to advise the crown to refer to this subject that the speech does not contain any statement upon it. The question of reform is certainly difficult ; but I am I quite sure there ought not to be any di ffi culty in dealing with certain of its branches —su ch as cases of proved corruption. (Hear, hear.) For this evil has grown perhaps not more intense, I hope on the contrary les intense ; but it has grown far more patent, and therefor far more scandalous of late years, and it has now become a matter not merely of domestic policy and expediency, but, I even venture to say, of national honour. (Cheers.) As long as we were in something like exclusive possession of a representative system little notice was taken of these offences in foreign lands, but we have lived into a period in which almost every country is possessed in a more or less perfect form of representative institutions, and in which some countries enjoy them in high efficiency. Since that has been the case it appears to me that Europe has conceived what I may almost call a sentiment of disgust on finding that evils of what in those countries they are scarcelyconsciouhavebecome so rife and so virulent among us. I hopeit will be understood—and I assume there is cause for the silence in the speech upon this subject, and I close the few remarks which I have made upon it by expressing a hope that when her Majesty's government take into con sideration any reports—l will not now presume to decide which they may be—but any reports on which it shall appear by judicial authority that the constituencies are tainted as they have been in some former well remembered instances, they will nut ask us to inflict the almost nominal and whollyunsatisfactorypunishments which have bounded our action in former years, but will give evidence to the ' world by something in the nature of strictness and severity that we are in earnest in this matter. (Cheers.) Now as regards this paragraph in the speech of her Majesty, it is obviously open to remark that its language is in some degree enigmatical. (Hear, hear.) But I do not think that it will be fair to make that circumstance a subject of complaint. On the contrary, I think that her Majesty's government are perfectly justified in reserving that full explanation of their intentions to a future day, which if it had been attempted to-day in a form necessarily ' imperfect, would probably have tended to prejudice a settlement of the question. Of course, therefore, in assenting to the paragraph as it stands, I do so upon the double ground that there is nothing in its language which can give rise to just reflection, and that, important as is every matter connected with this great subject under the present circumstances—every matter, both as to substance and to procedure—l, for my self and others if they be so minded, will retain the most i perfect liberty to canvass both the substance and the pro cedure of the measures and the steps to be taken by her Majesty'a government when in their proper time we shall ' become fully acquainted with them. (Hear, hear.) I think there are three points which will sum up our interests ; in the consideration and management of this question. There is the question by whom a measure of parliamentary reform is to be submitted to parliament; there is the question of what is to be the substance and effect of such • measure ; and, lastly, there is the question of when such 1 a measure is to be brought under our notice, and when it is to reach its completion. As regards the first of these, the inquiry by whom such a measure is to be submitted, I humbly represent to the house that at this moment the 1 interest of this country in a speedy settlement of the question is all important—(hear, bear)—and that if there be any of us who are less sanguine than gentlemen oppo site at the possible proceedings of her Majesty's govern ! went, that will be no reason for endeavouring to cast Mi -1 pediments in their course. It is our duty to accept, wherever we can get it, a measure which will adequately meet the just expectations of the people, and if we in tend to be willing parties to the introduction of such • measure by the government, we ought not by anything we ; may now say or do cast even the smallest difficulty in the way of a settlement of the question. (Hear, bear.) Sir, as respects the substance of the measure, that is a matter which I do not think the present is • proper occasion for i discussing ; but as respects the time of that measure— ' (hear, hear)—l must again say that it appears to me that even the question of substance itself is hardly more im ' portant. It is not necessary to trace the wearisome and irksome details of this protracted controversy, or to re mind the house how many zeasions, how many Queen's speeches, how many governments, and how many par liaments have been involved. One thing only we can say, and ,that is, that it is impossible for our legislation to proceed in its ordinary and accustomed course until ! this matter has been disposed of. Until this matter is ' disposed of it stops the way. It disturbs and impedes, and not only so, but it embitters every attempt to deal with every other question of difficulty. The vast and varied interests of this empire—growing rapidly more vast and more varied every day—in proportion as we reap the bar ! vest of legislation with assiduity, causing new and thicker 1 crops to spring up fresh from the ground, and in proper i tion as these interests solicit us—make it our duty to our , wives to take care that every step we adopt, and as far as ; we can to require from others that the measures which they may adopt, shall be directed towards the attainment, notonly 1 of an effectual, but of a speedy settlement of this question. ' I therefore ask myself how I am to construe the panigniph in which this subject has been brought under our notice, and I construe it thus. I will not ask for any explanation of intention. I will not make any remark which may have I a tendency to force the government into an explanation which may lead to misapprehensions. What I understand by this paragraph is that the government, like ourselves, and like the generality of members in the house, including their own followers, and like the country, without the distinction of party or opinion, are sensible of the necessity ' of dealing promptly with this matter, and that upon the earliest day which they eau choose for the purpose they will be prepared to propose, on their responsibility, such measures as they say think most effectual ''for the attainment of this object, and, above I all, the speedy attainment of a just and satisfactory settlement of this question. I hope lam not unreason ; able in this construction. (Hear, hear.) If this interpre tation be • just one I think that we ought to rest per fectly satisfied, and we ought to cherish the hope that when we may be able to remove out of our path this obstacle to our legislation, and also to remove from our selves what threatens to become a standing discredit to parliament and to the institutions of the land, and which prevents our giving to all other questions that attention which they so Imperatively solicit at our hands. (Cheers.) The CHANCE LLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Sir, I learn with great satisfaction from the right hon. gentle man opposite that there is no prospect of any amendment being offered to-night to the address. After so long a separation it really is far from an agreeable habit that the first night we should meet together we should resume our old struggles. (Laughter.) In the course of the months which are before us many opportunities will arise to com pensate hon. gentlemen for the self-restraint they impose on themselves to-night. (Laughter.) There are one or two things which I will notice before I touch upon the last interesting inquiryof the right hon. gentleman. lie has done justice to the contents of her Majesty's speech, and I think I may congratulate my colleagues on its recep tion by the house generally, though I am sure we owe that in some degree to the able interpretation which has been put upon it by my hon. friends the mover and seconder of the address, the first with • pleasing propriety, which all moat acknowledge ; and the second brought to it all that high authority which his commercial position enabled him to do. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentle man has inquired whether any papers will be presented in reference to the disturbances in Crete, and my answer is that they will be presented on an early day by my noble friend at the head of the Foreign-otlice. There is another point to which, I believe, the right bon. gentleman re ferred for inquiry, and that is why no allusion has been made in the speech in reference to the corruption in boroughs. The reports have not all been received at the Home-office, andit will be necesiery that all shall he received before the government can decide what course to adopt. The right hon. gentleman referred to a paragraph in her Majesty's speech in a tone of which I ISM sure we have no cause to complain, with regard to when the attention of parliament is to be called to the state of the representa tion of the people. I think the right hon. gentleman, remembering. Ihavenoilonbt, hisexperience of the . position which I now occupy, must feel how very inconvenient it is on the first day of the session that a number of inquiries should be made, which, if auswered, might lead to mis apprehensions, which are really not fair to those who are responsible for the conduct of the business of this house. I will not trouble the right hon. gentleman and the house at any length upon this subject, because, by the permis sion of the house, I mean to take not only an early hut the earliest day at command to bring the whole subject of the state of our representation before the house. Upon Monday next—(cheers)—l propose to do this, and I will place a motion upon the to lb to-morrow probably, which will state the course the government propose to take upon the subject gerierally—(hear, how)—and there fore, under these circumstances, I trust the right hon. gentleman who has done justice to the other important subjects which hare been brought before the house, will agree with sue in this matter. lam aware, as all will think, that it will require considerable devotion to do jus tice to the several things which we have placed before the house. But reaction is the law of life, and it is character. istic of the House of Commons. (Hear, bear.) There have been some complaints of late of indolence or want of attention on the part of the house, and that we have passed through sessions without doing much of what our duty requ ires; but during this session there will be an admirable opportunity to hon. members, if they will only follow the example of the government, to give their time and attention to the measures which will be before them. and if we all do this we may look forward that at the end of the session we shall have got through • large amount of business which we may hope will be for the benefit of the country and redound to the credit of this assembly. (Cheers.) At the conclusion of the right hon. gentleman's speech, hon. members rose almost in a body to leave, and in • short time the house was nearly empty. 1 The house adjourned at 10 mutates to 7 o'clock. lib Intelligent:. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-FEB. 5. (Before Mr. Coinoliesioner Holroyd.) IN HZ JAYLS NILMtI 1111.14 K. —.— The bankrupt was described as of Loughton, Essex, Staff Commander in the Royal Navy, and one of the direc tors of the Saloon Steam-packet Company (Limited). His liabilities amount to 6,30 W., of which 6,00(. are stated to be incurred in respect of the company ; assets and pro perty held as security, 575/. Mr. Sykes, for the official assignee, stated that the bank rupt had given a bill of sale to his brother a few days before the bankruptcy. The creditors had had notice, but no one appeared to oppose. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the bankrupt, said it was probable that no actual liability would result from the bankrupt's connexion with the Saloon Steam-packet Com pany, as there were six other gentlemen liable along with him. The bankrupt stated that the vessels had cost the com pany 10,000/. in April last, and he expected they would sell for 8,000/. His Honour granted the order. A chain of evidence showed that the two servant. hail.after several watchinp i been discovered by Short and Clay, (L e k, tires of the C division, acting in complicity —George ki ng able from his position in the warehouse to covertly plac e boxes of candles and cans of oil in the waggon of which Archer wan the carman, and who in turn disposed of the property to Briggs for less than half its value, accent. ing to their own admission after accusation. The l as t ,4 these transactions, it appeared, was on the l2th tdtinio and when the detective, accompanied by Sergeant Bell. of the C division, saw Briggs behind his counter and ions tioned him, he denied knowledge of " Archer, "or of any such dealings as those in point. A search was made, and in the first-floor front room scarcely anything but " Palmer's candles " could be found, although h e had denied having anything in his house. He then asserted that he had purchased them of . a traveller w h en he had not seen since, and that the price paid for th an was his own business. Mr. Knox expressed his intention to send all the pi. severs for trial. Mr. Lewis offered to furnish two bail in I,OOW. each fur Briggs, but Mr. Knox refused to accept it. THE QUEEIk;''S SPEECH. The LORD CRANCILLOR read the royal speech from the woolsack. THE ADDRESS. Earl BEAUCHAMP, who wore the Windsor uniform, then proceeded to move an address, in reply to the speech from the throne. He said that he had no doubt that if parliament proceeded in the spirit of moderation and for bearance so wisely recommended from the throne to the consideration of the measures which would be laid before them, the session of 1867 would take no unworthy place among its predecessors during the present reign. (Cheers.) He concluded by moving the adoption of an address, which was, as usual, an echo of the speech from the throne. Lord DELAMERE rose to second the address. After referring to other matters, be said he hoped that the reform measure to be introduced would be one which would obtain consideration from all classes, except those, of course, who, instead of reform, wished for confusion— who, under the pretence of adjusting the political balance of the constitution, desired to accomplish its destruction, and who, under the specious name of equality for all chases, hoped to gain a predominance of power for one particular clam. Did they wish a general representatiou of the feelings and interests of the country by earnest men, practically convinced of the truth of the measures they introduced, or did they desire the representative body of the country, the great traditional House of Commons, to be • mere transcript of popular feeling, • repre sentation only of the most uneducated, the most impres sionable, and unfortunately the most suffering, therefore probably the most prejudiced, class in the kingdom? Unless they wished such a representation as that they must pause before they introduced a mere sweeping mea sure of reform. He assured them that there was no mem ber of their lordships' house more convinced of the absolute necessity of reform than he was, and therefore it was ne cessary to watch carefully every footstep in a progress which must be onward, and in which retrogression was impossible. Earl RUSSELL said no one could complain either of the brevity of the speech or of the variety of topics con tained in it. The question of the late war in Europe was adverted to, and • hope was expressed that the termina tion of the late war might lead to the establishment of • durable peace. In the speech delivered at the close of butt session her Majesty declared that she had not been an indifferent spectator of the war, but that she bad not thought it expedient to take art in it, as neither the honour of the crown nor the in terest of the British people were mixed up in it. He entirely concurred in that view, but he was afraid the spirit of aggression which of late years had ani mated some of the European powers, and especially Prussia, might lead to future calamity. Referring to the question of reform, he said he trusted that • bill would be introduced into the other house without unneces sary delay, and that it would be of such a character as to enable the house to consider it with a real desire to settle the question. In consequence of the introduction into the bill of 1832 of the Chandoe clause, which gave votes to the moat dependent class that could be conceived, the question of reform had been since con tinually a subject of debate. He defended the bill of last session, which, he said, was defeated by those who combined against it for factious purposes. If the bill pro mised by the governnieut were a good bill he should give it his support, but if it were a bad or a delusive measure he should oppose it. He cautioned the government not to attempt by • trick to deprive the artisans of the fair right they had to • share in the representation, or to give them less than they were entitled to. Most public meetings had declared for manhood suffrage, but parliament was not likely to go so far. If they passed an unfair bill the people would say it was necessary to have a new government, • new House of Commons, and a new bill. The Earl of DERBY said he would relieve the noble earl's anxiety as to any attempt to delay the question of reform by announcing that at the earliest possible day— protAbly Monday next—it was the intention of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to lay on the table of the other house the proposals of the government. At the same time he wished to impress upon the noble earl that there was no hope of a satisfactory settlement of the question if it was to be taken up in the spirit and temper just mani fested by him. If it ware really desired to see a settlement of the question which, although not final, would render it improbable that any agitation for a further measure would occur for a considerable time, such • result could not be attained by making it a question of party or political strife. They must be prepared to give and take, and to meet each other's views, for he was convinced that there was no government in the country which could, at the present time, of itself carry • reform bill. With regard to the relations of landlord and tenant in Ireland, he said it was the wish of the government to give every facility to tenants to secure the value of their improvements con sintently with the rights of the landlord. The address was then agreed to, and their lordships adjourned at 20 minutes past 7. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuesnAy. The second session of the seventh parliament of the Queen, and the 19th of the United Kingdom, was inaugu rated to-day. At 12 o'clock the doors of the House of Commons were thrown open, and shortly afterwards mem bets began to arrive, and there were about 400 present when Mr. Speaker, who was attired in his gold robes of office, took the chair at a quarter past 2 o'clock. On the front ministerial bench were the Hight Hon. the Chan collor of the klachequer (Mr. Disraeli), the Right Hon. the Home Secretary (Mr. Walpole), Lord John Manners (Chief Commissioner of Public Works). Mr. Mowbray (Judge Advocate-General), Sir Stafford Northoote (Ir•resi deut of the Board of Trade). Mr. Oathorne Hardy (Presi dent of the Poor-law Board), Mr. Brie, and Colonel Taylor ; and on the back ministerial benches we noticed .roonpt others Sir J. Hay, a lord of the Admiralty, Mr. Kekewich, Sir Brook Bridges, Mr. Solater Booth, Mr. Vaillie Cochrane, end Mr. Hubbard. Mr. Nawnec are took his usual seat below the gangway. The front opposition bench was almost deserted, there being only Mr. Headlam, Mr. Young, Mr. Layard, Mr. W.B.Forster, anal Mr. Crawford seated thereon. Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Horoman, and Mr. Marsh sat together on the front opposition bench below the gangway, and the O'Douoghue took his meat behind them. In the body of the house, and at the bar were Mr. Otway, Mr. C. Forster, Mr. White, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Hankcy, Mr. Hugessen, and Mr. C. Turner. Mr. C. Buxton, on enter ing the house, Intoned to his old place on the ministerial side, and this little incident caused some merriment, when it was noticed that he had made a mistake. The SI'EAKER took his seat in his chair at a quarter past two, and immediately thereupon the right hoe. gentleman said he had two requests to make—one was, that order might be obser►ed by bon. members on their paesage to the House of Lords—(hear, hear)--and, secondly, as the space at the bar of the House of Lards was limited, that those hon. members who might have to remain in the outer lobby would be pleased to preserve silence during the delivery of her Majesty's speech. (Hear, bear.) That would he a tribute of respect which every member would be ansions to pay to her Majesty. (Hear, hear.) Shortly after a quarter•past two Admiral Sir Augustus W. Clifford, Bart., C. 8., Gentleman L•eher of the Black Rod's approach to the house was announced by Mr. White, the principal door-keeper, and immediately afterwards he appeared at the table attired in his full-dress costume, and informed the Speaker that the Queen commanded the at tendance of that hon. house in the House of Peers. The Speaker then left his chair, with Lord C. Russell in his official insignia, hon. members standing and un covered, followed immediately by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord J. Manners, Mr. Ward Hunt, Sr Stafford Northcotc, and other hon. members whose names were called over by Sir Denis le Merchant, Bart., the chief clerk. The reading of the names occupied so much time that many members departed before their names were NEW MEMBERS. The SPEAKER announced that he had during the re cess, in pursuance of acts of parliament, issued his war rant for the election of members for Guildford, West Gloucester, Pembroke, Belfast, Tipperary, Armagh, Car narvon, Wexford, North Salop, and Brecknock. The following hen. gentlemen came to the table, were sworn, and took their seats :—The Attorney-General, Mr. Garth, Mr. Lanyon, Mr. Cust, Mr. Pennant, Mr. Bowen, Captain White, Mr. Vance, Mr. Jervis Smith, and Mr. H. STANDING ORDERS. The usual lessio - uTI onkn were reel by the Speaker and agreed to. Shortly after 4 o'clock the house began to fill my mmtlly. Mr. T. De Grey and Mr. Graves , the mover and seconder of the address, attired in the costume of deputy lieutenants, entered at 10 minutes past 4, and took their seats immediately behind the front ministerial bench. The only peers present in their galleries were Lord Houghton, Lord Walaingham, and Lord nun. At half-past four there were on the front ministerial bench General Peel, Sir J. Pakington, Lord Stanley, Mr. Adderley, Mr. Mowbray, Mr. G. Hardy, and Lord J. Manners.

The SPEAKER having read the speech from the throne, The address was moved by Mr. T. DE GREY, who re ferred in detail to the various topics mentioned in the royal speech. Without the 'Wahine° of all parties in the house no reform hill could ever be carried • and if the government had reason to believe that the qu estion would be approached rather in a party spirit than with a desire to promote the general well-being of the country, it would be scarcely prudent for them to undertake the task. Mr. CIItAVES seconded the addres4. He congratulated the commercial community on the prospect of the dis putes between this country and the United States being settled in a manner which will put the law of neutral. on a more satisfactory footing. The question of reform, he said, had so far sdvanoed that argument was no longer required to prove the necessity for an extension of the franchise ; but he thought the question should be taken from the domain of party, and that the house should take it into its own hands and deal with it in a spirit of con cession and compromise. He expressed his great satisfac tion at the commercial reforms promised, and his hope that these measures would be dealt with in a spirit of wisdom and conciliation. The SPEAKER then read the Address. Mr. (:LAI)STONE, who, on rising, was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers from the opposition side of the house, maid in the course of his speech—Her Majesty's go veniment allude to a subject of great interest in reference to the condition of the army and the foundation of an effi cient army of reserve. If I caught correctly the words of the address it is proposed that we should promise to her Ma jesty to cheerfully consider any demand she may make for our assent to a moderate expenditure. I must confer, if I were a captious critic, that I would have a little doubt whether cheerfulness of consideration is exactly that form of consideration which the represen tatives of the people should give to proposals for the aug mentation of expenditure. (Laughter.) A ready and careful oonsideratton I have no doubt that subject will Lave, and I trust a fair and even liberal consideration. Most certainly I can say with confidence that, while we shall expect her Majesty's government to show that the expenses proposed as necessary in one direction can bo compensated by savings iu another, they will reoeive the cordial support of this house in every well conceived and every effectual measure for the attainment of that most important object, the foundation of a good army and a sys tem of reserve. (Hear, hear.) The speech also touches on a subject as delicate as it is important in the reference it makes to the inquiry which is about to be instituted into the disagreements between the employers of labour and their workmen, and the means by which that inquiry is to be prosecuted. I think that exaggerated statements to a certain extent may have acted on the public mind and tended to pro pagate the idea either that the differences between the employers and their workmen are now of a more aggravated character than in former times, or that the effect of those differences is to menace the commercial and trading interests of this country. If there be those who really enter tain that apprehension let them pay attention to a single sentence in the speech of the seconder of the address, which acquainted us that the joint increase in the exports and imports from and to this country for the nine months of last year, compared with the return for nine months in the'preceding year, amounted to Bitty five millions of money. (Hear.) But that is no reason why the attention of parlia ment should not in a very useful manner be given to this subject, which is of the utmost importauce, a nd as t o w hi c h undoubtedly serious difficulties and evils have to be re moved. But what I hope, however, is that the interpo sition of the government in this matter will be an amicable interposition, and in particular that when my r i g ht h on . friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department triunes his bill for obtaining from parliament powers to make the inquiry effective, he will bear in mind, as I am sure he will, the full and absolute right of all individuals, employers and workmen alike, to bring to the market the commodity they have to dispose of, whether it be labour or capital, end sell it upon the best terms in their power, MIDDLESEX SESSION& (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant Judge.) George Townson Rita, 32, bOet•Milker, was indicted for stealing three gold watches, value W., the property of Augustus French. There was a second indictment against him for stealing 300 pairs of boots, a large quantity of calf skin, and other articles, the property of Richard Mountford, boot manufacturer, of 'No. 56, Irons:tomor row, St. Luke's. Mr. Pater prosecuted ; Mr. Warner Sleigh defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence in the first case, that Walter Tucker, a boy in the service of Mr. French, watch manufacturer, of the Royal Exchange, was sent on the 29th of September to a watch maker's in Clerkenwell, with three gold witches, but near the Sedler's Wells Theatre he was knocked down and the watches taken from him. They were traced to the prisoner. The jury found him Guilty. Knowles, the officer, said the prisoner was suspected three years ago of receiving stolen leather, and since that time his house had been watched. The Assistant Judge said the prisoner had in his poems- Ilion these watches, which were the result of a robbery with violence. This was a case in which the court felt bound to make an example, which was by sentencing the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for five years. eltarks Fuger, 21, was indicted for stealing two gold seals and other articles, and the sum of 3:4, the property sod moneys of James Stuart, in his dwelling-house, at 14, New-road, Stepney. On Monday morning, the 4th of June, during the absence of the prosecutor in the country, a Mrs. Catch pole, a very aged woman, being in care of the house, the prisoner, who was known to her from having previously lodged in the house, entered the kitchen, and said, " Now, Mrs. Catchpole, I am going to tie your hands behind you, and if you call out I will cut your throat." She implored him not to hurt her, as she was an aged woman, and he replied, "I shatet hurt you if you don't halloo, as I am going upstairs to pick up my carpet bag, and when I hare done that I will come down and untie you." He then produced a rope, and with considerable ingenuity tied her arms behind her, and partly secured her in other ways, so that she could not move from the position in which he had placed her. The prisoner did not return to release her, and ultimately she managed to free herself, and gave information of the rob bery. It was found that a drawer bad been broken open sad a gold watch, two gold chains, two gold seals, brooches, , silver spoons, and other articles, and money to the amount of 301., taken away. On the 14th of that month the pri• loner was taken into custody at Chesterfield on another charge of robbery, and was committed for three months to Derby gaol. When he was searched at Chesterfield some pawn tickets were found upon him, all relating to property that had been stolen from the house of the pro secutor. On the 18th of January the prisoner was appre hended on this charge, which he admitted. The jury found him Guilty. The Assistant Judge ordered him to be kept in penal servitude for five years, THE POLICE COURT& _/30W-STREET. A rough-looking fellow, o1;bout 10, who had refused to give bis name at the station, but which is said to be Thessas Charles nt111.0074, was charged with creating • disturbance in the amphitheatre stalls at the Adelphi Theatre. Thu prisoner went into the house smoking • short pipe, made a disturbance, and it became necessary to send for as sistance. The police tried to persuade him to go away, but he would not, and as be offered determined resistance, they were compelled to take him into custody. Mr. Flowers said prisoner could not but know that it was highly improper to make • disturbance in the theatre; and, even worse, to smoke in ladies' faces was, in fact, an assault. The conduct of the prisoner had been so bad that he (Mr. Flowers) could not do less than order him to pay a fine of 21., or be imprisoned fur 14 days. CLISIMEN W ELL. Ellen il'Grath,• nmsculine-looking woman, and 77tontaa Foley, described as a smith, were charged before Mr. Cooke, on remand, with stealing from the person of James Barry, of 13, Newton-street, Holborn, a giver watch. It appeared that prosecutor was proceeding from Baldwin s-gardenstoEyrc-street-hill, between six and seven in the evening, when a men, who was with the two prisoners, asked him what the time was. Ho pulled out his watch for the purpose of telling him, but had no sooner done so than he was pushed against the wall and his watch wrenched violently from him. The mar ran off with the watch to the house where the female resided, and, handing her rho watch, threatened he would murder the prosecutor if he gave an alarm. The prisoners and their companions entered the house and slammed the door in the prom cutor's face, and whilst he was gone to get the assistance of the police they made their escape. Some hours after wards, as he was proceeding along Shoe-lane, he saw the prisoners and the man nut in custody, and followed them into Leather-lane and there the female was appre hended by pulioe-constade Donnelly, 20:1 it, but not with out great difficulty, as her two wale companions Mused the officer, and did all they could to effect her rescue. Foley, who is known to police-constable Ranger, 199 G, was apprehended the following day by that officer, but not until after a smart chase, for he ran through several streets, through a house, and clambered over the walls of several houses. He had been twice convicted of felony. Mr. Cooke committed them for trial. _ MARLBOROUGH•STREET. Thomas Bell, who gave the address 44, Thaniee.street, Liverpool, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing from the person of Mr. William Penton, engineer of the baths and washhouses, Marshall-street, Golden square, a watch, while at the Alhambra on the previous Dlr. Hall , a blind.rnaker, said he saw the prisoner make a grab at his friend's (the prosecutor's) watch, and raw him with it in his hand. He seized the prisoner, and held him, and the watch dropped at his feet. The prisoner was tin ii given into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner that the police might make inquiries respecting him. ILJUtYLEBONE. Williaat Macintosh, aged t 2, of kings Lynn, Norfolk, no occupation, and Charles Temple, of LS, l'ark-road, Park walk, of no occupation, and both of whom are said to be mesliQd students, were charged with wilfully and mali ciously damaging a drinking fountain in Marylebone-road. The prisoners were followed by a constable, who thought they were •• spreeish" and inclined for •• a lark." Upon reselling the drinking fountain, near Trinity church, Mac intosh took up a large block of solid brick and cement weighing near upon a half hundredweight, and threw it at the fountain. Temple then took it up and threw it at the fountain aa well. The prisoners were not drunk, only a little fresh. They broke the ornamental work on the top of the fountain ma well as other parts. The pipe was also boat William John Reynolds, a surveyor, who attended on behalf of the Drinking Fountain Association, said the second stone from the top, containing a deal of carving, was broken and the design altogether destroyed. The upper stone from the top would have to be removed in or der to remove the underneath one. A fresh stone would have to be carved to replace it. Other parts of the front were damaged. It was Gothic work, and would take from 10/. to 111. to repair it. Mr. d'Eyncourt said be believed a good deal of damage was done to these fountains, and the policeman replied that such was the case ; they were defaced and the cups stolen. The pillar Post-office boxes also were continually beirg injured. Mr. d'Eyncourt said he could not deal with the case, as the amount was beyond his jurisdiction, lie must send it for trial. Temple—Oh pray don't, for I shall be ruined for life. My uncle is a bank director. ilitiniately they were remanded for a week on bail, offering to pay any amount of lines or damage. WYIiTMI;4STER.

Goorge Ward, 201 V, said a little before one o'clock he was on duty iu llridge-street, Westminster, and saw the primmer put his hand into a lady's pocket, and draw out the purse mentioned in the charge. The crowd jostled the Ludy away, when the cry was raised that the queen came, and be loot sight of her. Prisoner said* boy passed him and gave him the puree. He did not steal it. _ He was remanded for a week. Two or three other cases were also heard and remanded, WORSHIP STREET. J4IJICS Archer and Sastre/ Gorge, in the employ of Messrs.

This branch of the market closes very quiet, with a decided tendency to lower rates. Home trade yarns are also very eat, prices being rather lower than they were last week, and the business transacted has been of trilling amount. The market for cotton cloths ia characterised xc both dull and gloomy. The little excitement occasioned by the recent operations of some magnitude having sub. sided, is followed by great depression, which is very much assisted by the downward tendency of values in the Liver pool cotton market. We have found buyers to-day almost totally indisposed to do anything, or where they show any interest in the market, offering only the most disas trously low prices. Such offers have not met with anything like general acceptance, and very little nes, has resulted. Amongst manufacturers there is no particular pressure to sell ; some of them are burthened with little or no stocks of goods, and others are tolerably well engaged to order. lint it may be noted that the quotations of sellers to-day are generally lower than were submitted last week. Both ;spinners and manufacturers are pretty well convinced that the produc. tion is on too large a scale, considering the high prices still consequent on dear cotton, and many of them have adopted what is termed short time ; but it may be doubted whether generally they appreciate the extent to which it is necessary. Many people think that five days, and some four days' production per week throughout the year would supply goods sufficient for the market, if the producer is to have remunerative prices ; and that the resort to short time on this scale should be universal in the cotton districts. WOOLLEN.—Lame, FRB. s.—The attendance of buyers in the cloth halls this morning has been below the average, few out-town houses have been represented, and they who were present have not manifested any dispou. tion to purchase beyond what are actually required foe immediate orders. There seems to be a general disposi. tion to wait until the spring season is further advanced and the weather has become more settled before any large transactions take place in spring goods. The demand in the coloured hall has been of a very miscellaneous chase. ter, and has included a few small parcels of tweeds and fancy coatings in the prevailing shades. A limited num ber of plain cloths have also changed hands, but the in. quince have had the appearance entirely of "sorting up," and not in any way of largely increasing present stocks. The white market has presented a similar aspect ; theqh in a few instances some moderately good parcels have been made in hairlista of medium and better class m.,km. We have not to report any appreciable alteration in prices. MANUFACTURES. —RUIMERSFIRLD, FEB. s.—The market to-day has been very thinly attended, scarcely any buyers from London or the provinces bring present. Business transactions in mast departments have been very quiet, purchasers making selections only in such articles as are required to give variety to their stocks The local merchants are doing some little in new goods for the spring trade, but orders fur these come in very sparingly, while stocks of other descriptions are accuse• 19001.8.—HUDDZISPIELD, FEB. s.—The wooltnule bat been unusually slack both to-day and during the week. buyers preferring to wait the approach of neat sales the arrivals for which are already tolerably heavy.

Imstmcn, Fins. s.—The supply of wheat was again extremely limited, and the condition very indifferent. At our market to-day prices were, taking quality into ac count, fully equal to late rates. Burley in fair supply, and ls. to's. per qr. cheaper. Beans and peas slow. Leer +, FEB: have no new feature in the trade to remark upon ; the demand for wheat is very l►nguid. but holders do not seek to se.iure an extended one by sub mitting to auy further decline from the currency of Fri day.
