KIM Wits AT LONDON MEDAL m a rr—si ...4 4 .6.l. res, t LONDOM, THURSDAY, FBB. 3. Tut opening of Parliament has seldom, of late yeses, been awaited with ['foliage of more general interest than it is this day. At home and abroad men look with more than usual curiosity, not wholly unmingled with solicitude, for the regal utterances that will proceed from the Throne, and the forth shadowing of their political course by the leading statesmen of the day. The condition of the country during the recess has been eminently tranquil and prosperous. The hives of our industry are fall; trade is active without inflation; commercial credit easy, employment good, the necessaries of life abun dant, and the revenue inoppressive yet prolific. Morally the aspect of affairs is not lees hsalthfuL The demand for education steadily continues to Lipoid with the increase of facilities for its supply. Every day witnesses some additional proof of national woad in the varied works of intellectual and mooed improve ment. Petty spirit has seldom exercised so little Influence over men's minds or actions ; and as far bitterness or strife is concerned, it might to a lapse , ficial observer almost seem to be dead. That it is not so indeed, a closer insight into our condition as a people will easily reveal ; nor are we of those who desire that it should be otherwise. It is incontestable, however, that in all that relates to domestic affairs men's minds are in a coeditioe unusually calm, and therefore peculiarly fitted to consider arid discus without danger whatever changes in ear per manent laws and institutions may have be come necessary. We are happily at pesos with the whole world. There is not in the epL more of any a pretence of qua ere! in any quitter, and for oar wide-spread dependencies them ening 110 cause for anxiety or concern. We cannot support, that the Ministers of the Crown are insensible of the rare advantages of such • position. Twelve months have hardly elapsed eines Parliament snatched the reins of rale frees their rivals, and gave them to be held by them, with the hardly concealed expression that their retention was likely to be of bat brief duration. Month after month has nevertheless rolled by, and they are still in poeetssion of power—perhaps it were more accurate to say, in possession of the opportunity of @hewing whether they are able to are power wisely and well. Lest session may be said to have been mainly de voted to India; the peering, one had been warted In pasty disputes and abortive effort* at legislation ; sad the two preceding years were absorbed by the incidents and exigencies of foreign war. The re sult has been the too long protracted neglect of great domestic dente, whose claim is not the lam imperative because it has been calmly and for the most part unreproachfolly made. A general and all but unanimous sentiment prevails that we want ▪ session to be at length devoted to English bred sees. If the spirit of other countries is troubled, let us be thankful that ours is not so; and if just same of hostility exists amongst certain of our neighbours, while we lament the fact, and sympa thise frankly with those that have right on their side, let as he thankful that we are free to abstain from mingling in the fray, and that there is no pretence for calling on the Government of England to spend Engl►ad's blood and treasure in dietaat battlefields. Other work our public men are pledged to, and other work we trim that ere this day's sun goes down they will have shown their prep•eednsse to do. A variety of subordinate meseuree—legal, •doeatiunsl, and emenected with military edmi•istntian—Lye been defcrred acid postponed tee keg. But mere pressing and mote important far than all of these together are the making due provision for the naval defence of the realm, and the enactment of • sound and salutary measure of electoral reform. Neither the one nor the other ought to be postponed for • angle day. The permanent independence of oar beloved and glorious land depends upon the one the permanent contentment of the people, and the permanent stability of wha'. ever is good in our ancient Constitution depend upon the other. (Inc rulers would set like madmen if they failed to seize the singularly propitious exce sion that now presents itself for dealing with both. It is not when the jealousy of some powerful neigh bier has been actively aroused, or when continental coalitions threaten to be formed against uv, that we should look to the manning or equipment of our fleet or the protection of our mercantile harbours. Now is the time when, without offence to any, we may and ought to place ourselves beyond the power of all. The country never did and grudge any reasonable demand that may he made upon it for placing our navy in a state of incon testable superiority to those of the rest of the world. Without being alarmists, we are free to confess our belief that such is not its present condition. Only let the people be convinced that what they are called upon to pay will be spent upon efficient ships ►nd brave men—not upon stone and mortar jobs, Com missariat plunder or aristocratic pensions, and they will consent cheerfully to pay it, whatever the sum mny be. But, moth to say, they have grown hard of belief on the subject, and it will need plain speak ing and plain dialing to menial& them. be Court.

The state of the Republic of Mexico, dietracted by civil war, has induced me to carry forbearance to its utmost limits, in regard to wrongs and indignities to which British residents have been sub jected, at the hands of the two contend ing parties. They have at length been carried to such an extent that I have been compelled to give instructions to the commander of my naval forces in those seas to demand, and if necessary to enforce, due reparation. GENTLEMEN OE THE HOUSE Or COMMONS, I have directed that the Eatimatee for the ensuing year shall be submitted to you. They have been framed with a due regard to economy, and to the efficiency of the public servioe. The universal introduction of steam-power into naval warfare will render necessary a temporary increase of expenditure in providing for the re construction of the British navy; but I am per suaded that you will.cheerfnlly vote whatever sums you may find to be requisite for an object of such vital importance as the maintenance of the maritime power of the country. MY LORDS AND GENTLEXIN,": Your labours have, in recent sessions, been use fully directed to various measures of legal and social improvement. In the belief that further measures of a similar character may be wisely and beneficially introduced, I have desired that bile may be submitted to you without delay, for assimilating and amending the laws relating to bankruptcy and insolvency; for bringing together into one set of statutes, in a classified form and with such modifications u experience will suggest to you, the laws relating to crimes and offences in England end Ireland ; for enabling the owners of land in England to obtain far themselves an indefeasible title to their estates and interests, and for registering such titles with simplicity and security. Your attention will be called to the state of the laws which regulate the representation of the people in parliament, and I cannot doubt but that you will give to this great subject a degree of calm and impartial consideration, proportioned to the mag nitude of the interests involved in the regret of your discussions. These, and other propositions for the amendment of the laws, which will be brought under your notice as the progress of public business may per mit, I commend to the exercise of your deliberate judgment; and I earnestly pray that your counsels may be so pitted u to ensure the stability of the throne, the maintenance and im provement of our institutions, and the general welfare and happiness of my people.

Pauperism and crime have con- I siderably diminished during the past year; and a spirit of general contentment prevails. 1 The blessing of the Almighty on the valour of my troops in India, endear the skill of their commanders, bas enabled me to inflict signal chastisement upon those who are still in arms against my au thority, whenever they have ventured to encounter my forces ; and I trust that, at no distant period, I may be able to announce to you the complete pacification lof that great empire, and to devote my attention to the improvement of its condition, and to the oblite ration of all traces of the present unhappy conflict. On sasuming, by your advice, the direct govern ment of that portion of my dominions, I 'deemed it proper to make known by proclamation the principles by which it was my intention to be guided, and the clemency which I was disposed to show towards those who might have been seduced into revolt, but who might be will ing to return to their allegiance. I have directed that a copy of that proclamation should be laid be fore you. I receive from all foreign powers assurances of their friendly feelings. To cultivate and confirm those feelings, to maintain Inviolate the faith of public treaties, and to contribute, as far as my influence can extend, to the preservation of the general peace, are the objects of my unceasing solicitude. I have concluded, with the Sovereigns who were parties to the Treaty of Paris of 11136, a Convention relative to the organisation of the Principalities of Moldavia and 'Wallachia. Those Rosman Provinces are now proceeding to establish ander its provisions, their new form of government. A treaty of commerce which I have concluded with the Emperor of Russia, and which will be laid before you, is a satisfactory indication of the com plete re-establishment of those amicable relations rwhich, until their late unfortunate interruption, had long subsisted between us, to the mutual advantage of our respective dominions. The measures which, in concert with nay ally the Emperor of the French, I thought it necessary to take upon the ooaat of China, have resulted in a treaty, by which farther effusion of blood has been prevented, and which holds out the prospect of greatly-increased intercourse with that extensive and densely-peopled empire. Another treaty, into which I have entered with 1 the Emperor of Japan, opens a fresh field for com menial enterprise in a populous and highly civi lised country, which has hitherto been jealously guarded against the intrusion of foreigners. As soon as the ratifications of these treaties shall have been exchanged, they will be laid before you. I have groat satisfaction in announcing to you that the Emperor of the French has abolished a system of negro emigration from the East Coast of Africa, against which, as unavoidably tending, how ever guarded, to the encouragement of the slave trade, my government has never ceased to address to his Imperial Majesty its most earnest, but friendly, representations. ' This wise act on the part of his Imperial Majesty induces me to hope that negotiations, now in pro gress at Paris, may tend to the total abandonment lEEE. WORM MBELING 12 IiDDIB73OII.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. PRINCE NAPOLEON AND THE PRINCESS CLOTILDA. MARSEILLES, WEDNISDAY. Prince Napoleon and his bride arrived here at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and left again at 3 p.m. for Lyons. They have been received by immense crowds of the population. The Princess replied to an address of the muni cipality with much grace and promptitude, styling the members her " new fellow-citizens." The Mosigetsr of this morning contains the following : a Their Imperial Highnesses the Prince and Princess Napoleon will arrive at three o'clock this afternoon at the Tuileries. A squadron of the cuirassiers of the impe rial guard will form the escort. Four battalions of the national guards, beside cuirassiers, voltige ars, guards, and dragoons, will be drawn up in double line to the Cour de Carrousel and the Tuileries. Their imperial highnesses will be received on their arrival by the Emperor and Empress." THE PRINCESS FREDERICK WILLIAM. OFFICIAL BLILLETIN. BERLIN, Pzz. 1, 11.16 A.M. The health of the Princess Frederick William and the Infant Prince continues to be satisfactory. (Signed) DR. SCHOENLEIN. DR. WEGNER. DR. MARTIN. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OVIII OWN auaaporparr.) PARIS, WRDNIIIIDAY Evaarnto. No itinerary of the public entry of the Prince and Princess Napoleon into Paris has yet been published, and people who, for more reasons than one are curious to see the very juvenile bride, feel painful doubts as to the value of their windows. I believe, however, that the cortige will proceed from the Lyons railway along what are ordinarily called the Boulevards (eines the creation of the Boulevard de Sebastopol, the term has become ambiguous)— at least as far as the Rue de la Pair, and probably to the extreme length of the Madeleine. The august pair will not go in the first instance to their conjugal home in the Pails Royal, but to the Tuileries, where they will be received in state by the Emperor and Empress. On the same evening, after a short delay, just long enough to give the princess time to change her dress and look round her new dwelling, the Emperor and Empress will pay her a visit of ceremony at the Palm's Royal. On Friday there will be a grand dinner of 150 covers at the Tuileries. I have not heard what the arrangements are for Saturday and Sunday. A little repose must be by that time highly desirable for the fair princess, but I do not know whether that is in the programme. It is not unlikely that on Sunday she may attend tam some where or other in state. On Monday, however, I learn that she will go to the opera, and on Tuesday she will appear at a grand ball at the Tuileries. In the course of next week the prince and princess will leave Paris, to pass a quiet fortnight at the Chateau de Meudon. A rumour is current that the King of Sardinia is about to marry a Russian princess. A Council of Ministers, presided by the Emperor s was held at the Tulleries to-day, and remained sitting till the unusually late hour of half-past 2. Prince Jerome was present at this council, and in excellent health. The Emperor yesterday transacted business in his study with the director-in-chief of the bureau of cavalry and " remounts." I have good reason to think that the Doke de Montebello, and not the Count do Persigny, will replace the Duke of Malakoff at the Court of St. James's. It seems to be certain that the duke is about to assume the command of the army of Paris, and that Marshal Msgnan will go to the Chancery of the Legion of Honour. The Bourse has been dull, without any remark able feature. The Rents rose Sc. for cash, and fell be. for account, closing at 68fr. 20c. in each case. Mobilier was only a franc or two lower. The rail ways fell from 2fr. 60c. to Ifr. AUSTRIA. The Austrian journals publish a mandate of the Cardinal Archbishop of Vienna, issued by him on the 27th of December last, in which he orders the intro- duction into the church and school' (the latter being now under the complete control of the former) of the eo-called "Pius" Hymn in honour of the Pope Pio Nom). This hymn was composed by Cardinal Arch bishop Wiseman under the name of" Hymnos Orbits et Urbis," and put to music by the Chapel-master Skranp, of Prague. It is to be sung on particular days, especially on May 6, the Pope's name-day, and on Jane 16, the day of his election. The Correspondancia Autografit publishes a letter from Cochin Chias, which ambits that the Emperor of that country was so alarmed at the comet thkt he had fastened himself in a tower with poison and a end, in order to put an end to his existence in the *vent of its csusing any disaster A Turin correspondent, referring to the marriage of Princess Clotilde, observes It is rather amusing to note the contrasts between the ideaa and usages of different countries.
