The Prince of Wales at that time occupied the seat nearest the throne on the dukes bench. The Princess of Wales wore a black lace skirt over white satin; and across her right shoulder a crimson ribbon, supposed to belong to a Danish order. She wore a tiara of diamonds, and a THE LOSS OF THE STEAMER LONDON. Yesterday the official inquiry, instituted by the Board of Trade, into the circumstances 'needing the foundering of the steamer London, wart resumed at the Greenwich Polioe-eourt, before Mr. Trull, the district stipendiary magistrate, and Captains Harris sad Baker, the nautical suesson. Richard Lewis, an able seaman on board the London, was the first witness produced by Mr. O'Dowd. Is kis evidence he made confused and contradictory statements, and the court asked if he had token any drink daring the morning. The witness replied he had taken "a littls," whereupon Mr. Train directed him to stand by, and requested Mr. O'l)owd to go into other evident Benjamin Sheol', as able seaman on board the London, was nest examined. He deposed that when the ship was put on the poet-tack, on the morning of the 10th, she lay easier, and she did not take much water over to leeward. •t 8 p.m. on Wednesday it was blowing a perfect hurricane. All the hands on deck were called to haul in the jebboom, and they got it up to the fore rigging on the port side, and lashed it there. The eying jibboom was banging over the side of the vessel a: this time, and a port of it was lifted on board. Whims assisted in lashing it to ring -bolts on deck, and while doing els a heavy sea came over the deck, and canted away provision casks, hen coops, -aties, and nearly everything on deck. He was knocked down by aprovinion cask, and his legs were injured. He was taken below, but he could not sleep, and he crawled on deck on his bands and knees. Heavy seas were washing over the deck, and the skylight had been carried away, and the water was rushing into the engine-room. rive puttees then proeudeff Aril Biwa. nee Of the Mu planate, by the direction of Captain Martin, sad wines. was helped into her by one of the men. In lowering the boat they let down the bow too fast, and she swamped, leaving them to mewl on deck as best they could by means of ropes hanging down ties sides of the ship. Witness then went to bale out the water from the after saloon with Mr. G. V. Brooke. He ' of erwards went on deck and assisted in getting the port I cutter ready, by storing her with bread, rum, and raw vegetables. Ooe of the men asked the captain if be would go in the boat, to which he replied, "No, men, I will go I with the ship, passengers, and crew." King asked the captain the coarse to the nearest point of lead, and the captain baviog told him, King returned, and the captain said, " Good by., men, God be with you." To Kr. Train—Believed that the statement as to the skylight lying perfectly whole on the deck cn Thursday morning was erroneous. A put of the skylight lay broken on the starboard side, with other portion of the wreak, while the ship was on the port tack. To Captain Harris—How the ship wore round was a miracle, she being so water-logged. To Captain Baker—The engine -room skylight was un shipped et half-past eleven o'clock on Wednesday sight, when the big sea washed on board. James Edward Wilson deposed be was a second-class passenger on board the London. He went on beard at Gravesend. He was engaged is the Australian minis( trade, and he had intended going to the gold fields. Mr. O'Dowd mid that it would perhaps be better to allow the witness to give a history of *hat he knew of the wreck. Mr. Wilson said that, on the day after they ware picked up by the Italian barque, he wrote a statement of what had come under his notice, and he would read it with the permission of the murk Mr. Train observed that the statements of the witness should relate to facts which had come within his own knowledge, aid should set have reference to anything be might have beard by hearsay. Mr. Wilson then read a memorandum of events which bed taken place on board the London, and in which he stated that at noon on Sunday the position of the ship was taken and they were found to be 170 miles from Plymouth. On tee following day be ascertained that the ship bad tra velled 102 miles further, making the distance from Ply mouth 272 miles. Nothing particular occurred oe that day mail they were partaking of tea at six o'clock, when the ship gave a heavy lurch and commenced to roll consider ably, and *bout as boor after a body of water got down the main hatchway. In about two or three minutes some parsons went up and shut the hatch. On Tuesday morning the vessel was not shipping much water, but about two o'clock she pitched considerably, and on going en deck he saw the foreroyal rout broken in two, and hinging down, and the same was the nee with the foretopgallaut mast. The gale leavened on Tuesday naming, and the ma what down the hatchway at 7 p.m. They opened the hatchway whenever a lull took place, in order to give them fresh air. The ladies in the Remind class apart mots were more excited on Tuesday night than at any other time before. At daylight on Wedges day he noticed a different motion in the vessel, and he Mal told she was put about for England. He saw the jib-boom hanging down a little abaft of the fore rigging. The crew were making preparatione to get it on hoard, and about two hours afterwards he hurt' the donkey engine going, end he was told it was worked for the purpose of getting the jib-boom on board. Theca]. increased to &slum about 6 o'clock on Wednesday evening, and the hatchway war again closed down, but the water still came in. notwith standing the effort. made by some of theme, tonsil it down: About 10 o'clock a great body of water came down, and they wore knee deep in the saloon. All the passengers were very mush (tightened. Some water came in through the water closets. To Captain Harris—Did not know what sort of water donate they were. Toe witoress, in continuation, stated to the court that he heard some sailors going to a saloon adjoining the one he occupied, end saying, " Let u hurry on and get the sail,, or she'll sink." An order was given for all men to go on deck, and he understood it to apply to male passengers, as the crew were oo deck. It was ordered that all the sails be put up, and they were engaged about two hours in putting teem up. Previously all the mattresses and beds available were procured and stuffed in the hatchway. The captain said the only chance for the ship was by shut ting up the hatchway. He and other passengers remained at the pumps from Thursday morning at daylight until the donkey-engine was set to work between nine and ten o'clock. At 1 p.m. on Thursday be met the captain, and said, "Captain, is there any use in bailing "' Captain Martin looked into the engine -room, and said, " Yon may, bat I think there is no use." Shortly afterwards he saw these was ne chalice for the ship, and he got ready on deck to avail himself of the first chance for an escape from the vessel. In reply to Mr. Traill, Mr. Wilson said he saw the skylight on the lee side of the ship on Thursday morning, and, without a initiate in spection, he thought it looked whole—at lea,t, it was so fez as the hanieworic was concerned. This concluded Mr. Wilson's examination, and the court se millouraud of long veil pendant from the back of the head. Presently the Earl of Derby came in, and approaching the princess made his obei sance and conversed with her royal highness. The Archbishop of Canterbury also, on his entrance, paid his respects to the princess in due form. The ladies and lords in waiting on the prince and princess took up a position technically out of the house around the chandelier on the left of the throne ; andr at this moment order and a certain reticence in conversa tion, evidently under the influence of expectation of the crowning event of the day, generally prevailed. Precisely at two o'clock Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black Rod, entered, and made a whis pered communication to the Lord Chancellor, who rose and left the house. This, of worse, indicated the approach of her Majesty. Instantly the whole assemblage rose, and there wins flutter and a noise as of the flying of birds,while not a sound of a voice could be detected. The movement was however, premature, for quite ten minutes elapsed before her--Majesty redly -entered the house. At that time the door leading into the Prince's Chamber, on the right of the throne, flew open, and, in slow and noiseless on, entered heralds, and lords in waiting, and e q uer ries, the Deputy Earl Marshal, the Marquis of Win chester, bearing the cap of maintenance ; the Marquis of Lansdowne, carrying the crown; and Earl Granville supporting erect the symbolic sword of the sovereign of the realm. Then, walk ing alone, appeared the Queen, clad in a threes of rich purple (which is royal mourning), trimmed with ermine, and wearing the Mary Stuart cap ? with which the public is now fa miliar, studded with diamonds. As her Majesty took her seat on the throne, her appearance, though differing from the conventionalities which belong to the state costume of the Sovereign, was every way imposing, effective, and regal. Follow ing her Majesty were the Princesses Helena and Louise, dressed in simple white, who took up a position on the highest steps of the throne on the left hand of her Majesty. On the left were the Duchess of Wellington, Mistress of the Robes, and ladies in waiting. Prince Arthur was also present, dressed in Highland costume, but was so situated as to be scarcely distinguished by the general eye. As the cortege was arranging itself around the throne ? the Prince of Wales advanced and took his plasm) in the chair devoted to him on the right of her Majesty, where he was somewhat obscured by the Lord Chancellor, who stood exactly in front of him during the cere monial. When all movement ceased, the Lord Chancellor stated, on the part of her Majesty, her desire that the assembly should be seated ; and the Usher of the Black Rod was despatched to summon the Commons to attend their Sovereign. Then ensued for a while a silence which might be almost said to be felt, hardly broken by here and there a gentle rustle as some lady found it impossible to remain quite still. Presently there was a sound as of distant thunder ; then a hurl - burly, suggesting ideas of the rush of boarders in a sea-fight ; and amidst cries of " Order " and of "Oh, oh !"elicited this time by physical influences, the Commons came panting and struggling to the bar ; places being essentially to the swift and the strong. Headed by the Speaker, they soon stood still and attentive, while the Lord Chancellor, in clear, audible, distinct tones, having stated that " her Majesty having thought fit to direct him to read the Speech she proposed to deliver to both houses, he should proceed to do so in the very words of her Majesty," read that document.

During this proceeding the Queen sat with her eyes bent on the ground, and her form apparently motionless, although the flashing of the diamonds on her neck and head-dress indicated that she was trembling with suppressed emotion, which was also indicated by the deep flush which by degrees came over her countenance. Probably there were many present who missed the pleasure of listening to the silver tones and admirable elocution of her Majesty, as they used to be developed when she delivered her speeches to parliament with her own lips; but it may be well asserted that no one who witnessed the ceremonial as it was car ried out yesterday, but must have felt that, apart from special associations, it was in every respect impressive and imposing ; and some misgivings with regard to the opening of the new parliament with " maimed rites" must have been utterly dissipated and forgotten. At the conclusion of the reading of the speech her Majesty rose with some alacrity, as one seemed to observe, and, descending from the throne, advanced to the woolsack, where the Princess of Wales sat, and kissed her royal highness in, perhaps, an un queenly but affectionate and earnest manner. As she passed the angle of the diplomatic box she paused and shook hands with a gentleman in uni form who stood there, and who, hitherto unob served, was understood to be Prince Christian, the betrothed of the Princess Helena. On this the Prince of Wales approached, tendered his hand to her Majesty, and led herfrom the house; followed bythe Princesses Helena and Louise, and the Princess of Wales, escorted by the Duke of Cambridge. In stantly the vast assembly rose and broke into groups, rich and rare in colours, which changed into prismatic hues with all the variety of a kaleidoscope, or seeming as if a bed of mixed flowers had started into animated movement. Gradually the brilliant scene dissolved, and the bright and gorgeous ceremonial of the opening of the seventh parliament of the reign of Queen Victoria was at end. *parting futtiligtnce.

The draft of the address in re2l7 to the spescb from the throne was hroright forward in to-day's sitting of the Senate. The paragraphs relating to Rome, the September Convention, Algeria, agri culture, and home liberties, simply re-echo the paragraphs on those subjects in the Emperor's speech. With regard to the Mexican question the address of the Senate says :—" Your Majesty in ' forms us that the memorable expedition to Mexico approaches its termination. This is announcing to satisfied France that the protection of her commercial interests is assured in a vast and wealthy market now restored to security. As regards the United States, if, from misconcep tion, the presence of the French flag in America appears to them lees opportune than at a previous and most illustrious period of their history, the firm tone of the communications made by your Majesty's government has demonstrated that haughty and menacing language will not decide us to withdraw. France is accustomed to move only at her own time ; but she nevertheless whales to remember the ancient friendship between herself and the United States. What your Majesty asks of the United States is neutrality and observance of international law." SPAIN.

The diplomatic correspondence published in Madrid contains a far clearer exposition of the views of the French government in regard to Rome than is to be found in the French yellow book. This correspondence throws a valuable light upon the omission of the word " temporal" in the Emperor's speech, and shows that the do llars of France to maintain " two sovereignties" in Italy must not be understood in too absolute a sense. The convention of September 15 leaves the Pope as a temporal sovereign responsible for his actions, and if he remains as obstinately opposed to all reform as heretofore be may destroy his temporal power, and then France will not set it up again for him. This has never before been so clearly stated. Neither M. Billault nor K Rouber ever said so much in parliament. The Petite Gazette, a journal published at Bagnbree-de-Bigorre, in the Pyrenees, states that the eight columns of9ampeninarbls, whloh ore tio. he placed in front of the imperial box , at the new Opera, left the workshop of M. Cantet on the Slst ult. for their destination. Each column is of a single block, nearly two metres in diameter and four in height. As to colours, one half are light red and the others green. They come from the same quarries that were worked under Louis XIV., for Versailles and Trianon. To obtain these eoltitana entire they were sawed out of the solid rock. " Last summer," says the writer, " I saw thole immense columns while in the lathe which was rounding them under the impulse of a water. l wheel turned by the Adour." The above paragraph reminds me that some two years ago it was stated by the Moniteur that .the Emperor had resolved to suspend the works of the new Opera, in order that the palace of pleasure for the rich might only be finished at the same time as that palace for the poor, the Hotel Dien Hos pital. The semi-official journals went into positive fits of enthusiasm at his Majesty's tender thought fulness for the poorer classes of his subjects. There were cold-blooded people who thought there was no connexity between an opera and an hospital, and that the question of the ex pediency of building each should be considered on its own separate grounds, but their ungenerous voices were drowned in the general chorus of ad miration for his Majesty's noble sentiments. It has happened, however, in this instance, as in many others, that sensational promises are not redeemed by subsequent fact. The Opera, now a stately build ing, is rapidly approaching completion, while not a single stone of the new Hotel Dieu is yet laid. The Moniteur two days ago mentioned the number of houses that had been pulled down to make room for the site of it, and said that a great many more houses were going to be demolished, until a certain number of square yards of clear ground should be obtained. lam far from saying that more haste with regard to these demolitions would have been good speed. It is very likely that what has been done has been wisely done. The only moral of the story is the inanity of the original puff, and of all court puffs of the like kind. A letter from Lisbon says that General Prim, instead of going to London as was rumoured, has asked permission to stay a year in Portugal, and that his wife has left Madrid to join him. Quotations at the Bourse are better, but the money articles of the evening papers speak of a complete atonic in business.

ARRIVAL OF A CAPE MAIL The Diamond Company's Cape Royal Mail steam ship Kaffraria, Captain Win. Donald, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday morning from Table Bay, Jan. 2 ; St. Helena, Jan. 10; Madeira, Jan. 30. At Natal, from the far north, there were news of rapine and bloodshed. Idapog, the scourge of the Lydenbseg district, the north eastern portion of the Transvaal terri tory, bad been ravaging the country side. Thirty-eight houses on scattered farms had been burnt down. Some Dutchmen and many friendly natives had been killed, sad stock had been plundered in large quantities. In mass quence of these occurrences trade was at a standstill there : no ivory came in, and no trade went on. The natives seem to presume on the division of the Transvaal forces in the direction of Moehash. Dr. Mann, the superintendent jof education in Natal, was to visit England in March, specially delegated as an emigration agent for that colony. Colonel Bisset intended to proceed to N. Man's Land, and make a formai declaration of the Queen's sovereignty over the territory. In Maritzburg Cathedral five servings ware held each Sunday, two by the bishop and three by the dean, the one ecclesiastic directly condemning the doctrines proclaimed by the other. The Rev. Mr. Tonnages, the only Coleosooian clergyman in the diocese, has been abandoned by his pariahioeers, and told than they hence forth would have nothing more to do with him or his ser vices. He had consequently left hie o,urch and proceeded to Pietermaritzburg to assist the bishop in the eervioes of the cathedral there. A Malta correspondent says :—" A new line of Spanish steamers to run bet wean Barcelona and Alexandria, touching at Monodies and Malta, bear bees formed ; the Ent steamer of this line basing already anived here oo her way to Alexaodria, It will doubtless prove highly advan tageous to the commeros of this island in these days of in creasing means of steam communication."

THI WAR BETR'KEN SPAIN AND CHILL —A proclamation by her Majesty in Council appears in the Gazette of last evening, declaring the strict and impartial neutrality of this country in the hostilities between Spain and Chili, and strictly charging and commanding all her " loving subjects to observe a strict neutrality in and during the aforesaid hostilities, and to abstain from vio lating or contravening either the laws and statutes of the realm in this behalf, or the law of nations in relation thereto, as they will answer to the contrary at their peril." THR LATE MR. W. F. WINDHAM. The exact cense of the death of the late Mr. W. F. Windham woe the obstroctioe of the circulation by a clot of blood in the pulmonary artery. An a/roar/inept had been made by Mr. Windliam's uncle, Lieutenant-General Sir 0. A. Windham, C. 8., which was on the point of being earned out whoa Mr. W. P. Windham died. By this arrangement Mrs. W. P. Windham was compelled to pay hoc husband an annuity of 5001. until 1869, to be increased to 1,5001. after that year. The execution of this arraogemeet bad been delayed in oonsequepos of Mr. Windham baring changed his solicitor. The effect of Mr, Windham's death will be I to deprive Mrs. Windhim of the annuity granted on Mr. I Windham's life, and also of any interest whitener in the Hepworth estate, the meta of which will accumulate need 1869, to enable certain charges to be cleared off. After 1869 the prate accruing from the estate will be applied es directed in the will of Mr. W. Howe Wiedbant, father of Mr. W. F. Windham. Mn.e Windham has directed lir. Beating, of London, to arrange the funeral of her husband, who will be interred in the family vault of the Windham. at Falbrigg, Mr. J.

That the meeting of the Sovereign and the Legis lature in dae constitutional form for the first time for five years should have excited a mingled feeling of interest and curiosity was but natural, and in a certain sense creditable to the public, as it was re presented yesterday in the House of Peer.. The statements that some modification would be made in the prescriptive ceremonial added no doubt to the curiosity, while what may be called personal feeling towards her Majesty probably gave depth to the intermit, as both were developed in the privileged numbers who assembled to take part in that which is one of the few English pageants which remain extant. As soon u the doors of the House of Lords were opened at twelve o'clock yesterday, those ladles who had obtained the e ntree began to sweep is gradually, but so orderly were things ar ragged that there was neither bustle nor confusion, and every one seemed to glide in noiselessly save for the rustle of silk and ribbons. In a very brief space the north and side galleries, which were appropriated to those who, for want of a better phrase, may be called the ladies of the com monalty, were occupied. The area of the house, which (excepting the front benches and the railed off pen at the back of the bishops' bench, which are reserved for the diplomatic body) is set apart for peeresees and the daughters of peers, filled more slowly, and, indeed, it was not until nearly two o'clock that the whole of the places thus bespoken were quite fulL The moat obvious and special ob ject which met the eye on entering the house was the garniture of the throne, over the seat and elbows of which was cast carelessly the robe of state which is usually worn by the Queen on opening parliament, the white ermine lining alone being visible. At this moment, and until a ionsiderable time afterwards, it was to be re smirked that none of the seats or any visible place in the home were occupied by gentlemen. By aad-bye a few of the rougher sex were installed in the boxes on the two sides of the bar, which are under the special dominion of the Usher of the Black Rod ; and subsequently, in the gallery on the left of and near the throne, a small group of gentlemen in uniform—amongst them a Turkish attaclid and Colonel Macdonald, aide-de-camp to the Duke of Cambridge—were stationed as specta tors, and broke the continuity of feminine form and costume which elsewhere prevailed before the entrance of peers into the house. Many of their lordships, in their " habits as they live," escorted their fair relatives to their places in the earlier part of the day, amongst the earliest of whom were Lord Middleton, the Earl of Devon, Lord Houghton, and Lord Helper. It need hardly be said that the ladies were in the fullest dress, every colour, every fabric, and every possinle testa being exhibited, here and there rich fur being observable, either in the form of cloaks or what we believe is technically called trimming. A few mourning costumes, toned down by dia monds, might have been seen, and there was one lady who wore a widow's cap. Early in attendance, and busied in anperinteuding the arrangements, was Sir Edward Cl,os Master of the Ceremonies to the Queen, gorgeous in blue and gold, and con spicuous by his order and Peninsular medal and damps. Amongst the first arrivals of the diplo matiic corps was the American Minister. Then peers, some in their robes, and others as yet un livened, came in, the latter generally escorting ladies to their p laces, and conspicuous amongst these latter were the Earl of Cardigan and _ the Earl of Wilton, who gallantly hanited their Countesses to the beet places they could procure for them ; while the Karl of Lovelace was equally careful of the interests of his daughter. In 'doff and irregular succession might have been observed the Marquis of Winchester, the Earl of Rodeo, Lord Llanover, Lord Ravensworth, Lord St. Leon ard", Lord Colville of Cuirass, Lord Fortescue, Lord Dynevor, Lord Lyveden, Lord Taunton, the Earl of Shrewsbury the Duke of Manchester, the Marquis of Westmeath, the Dukes of Sutherland, Richmond, Rutland, and Bucking ham, the Marquis of Exeter, Lord Dufferin, The Marquis of Normanby, the Earl of Hard wicke, Lord Chelmsford, ito. Indeed, the attendance of peers was strikingly numerous ; great difficulty being found in accommodating them with seats. The bishops also appeared in full numbers. Amongst the earliest arrivals were the Arch bishop of York, the Bishops of Ripon, St. Asaph, Lincoln, and Worcester, and in the result so impas sible was it for the prelates to find resting-places on the single bench set apart for them, that extra forms were brought in and ranged by the table, while some of the right rev. gentle men were glad to take refuge beside the clerks. About a quarter past one Earl Russell, bearing in his hand a very remarkable feathered cocked bat, and of course in his robes, accompanied by Earl de Grey, entered and took his place in the centre of the ministerial bench. He was followed soon by the Earl of Clareudoa, the Duke of Argyll, and Lord Stanley of Alderley, who were the only members of the government that could be distin guished in the glittering and bewildering crowd. In the meantime the seats reserved for the ambassadors and ministers from foreign courts were gradually being occupied, and presented the usual galaxy—uniforms of all colours, blue, crimson and white, picked out with gold and silver, lace and em broidery, flashing with stars, and radiant with ribands of all hues. There could be made out Prince de la Tour Auvergne, ambassador of France ; Count Apponyi, of Austria, in a superb Hun garian costume ; M. Muslims, of Turkey; Baron Brunnow, of Ruasia ; Count Bern storff, of Prussia ; Baron de Cetto, of Bavaria ; the Marquis d'Azeglio, of Italy ; while perhaps the most conspicuous by a dress " more guarded than his fellows," was the Minister of San Salvador, General Negretti. In a sort of procession the Lord Chief Baron and the Barons of the Exchequer, in their full robes of crimson and ermine, entered, and took their places on the woolsack', which are the presumptive seats of the judges. Not long after came in the Lord Chief Justice of England, attended by the Judges of the Queen's Bench ; who were followed by the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and his learned coadjutors. At half-past one the house was called upon to do reverence to the Lord Chancellor, who entered in state, preceded by the Serjeant-at- Arms of the House (Col. Talbot) beariug the mace, and his puree-bearer, and attended by his secreta ries and gentlemen of the chair. His lordship having taken his seat on the woolsack, prayers were read by the Bisbopof Ely, the whole assemblage rising at the introductory sentences ; and when the order of tie prayers prescribed kneeling, every form was bent into some attitude of devotion ; the change from the precise uniformity which had been by this time adopted, for the " house had been made," being very striking and effective. The bum of con versation immediately revived, and those who bad settled into their places, peers and peeresses, and the whole body of spectators, set themselves to mark any incideats which might occur. Amongst these, and one which did not attract much attention, was the swearing of a batch of peers ; but the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge, who took his seat on the seat nearest the throne, on the dukes' bench, was more noticeable, and so more noticed. Presently a stir and a murmur, which sounded like the phantom of a cheer, gave earnest of the approach of the Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by their suite. Her royal high ness was escorted by Lord Colville of Culross to the woolsack, on which the Lord Chancellor sat, and took her seat on its opposite side, facing the throne ; and thus remained alone in a special place of honour, with her back to the assembly, during the sitting. For a time the conspicuousness of this situation was relieved by the Duke of Cambridge, who placed himself by the princess and conversed 'a. am ca ,ck led re, J. orir. IW ° PAS, 0 1 ,
