Rolland, arrived on Sunday last from the neighbourhood of Benghazi, where she has been employed for some time past in assisting in the repair of the Malta and Alexandria cable. She has been relieved by the Pelican, 17, Commander H. W. Comber. Capt. Rolland proceeds to England by this mail on leave, granted in consequence of a family bereavement. Nothing has been done to wards the re-establishment of telegraphic commu nication since the 25th of January, when the cable was hooked between the fault and Benghazi, and that station spoken to, as already announced. The boisterous weather has suspended all further opera tions in the meantime. The faulty part is supposed to extend over several miles. The Racer, 11, screw sloop, Commander N. T. Saulez, arrived on Sunday from Tunis, having been relieved by the Wanderer, 4, screw gunvessel, Commander M. C. Seymour. The Enterprise, 4, screw ironcased ship, Comman der J. C. Rowley, joined the Mediterranean squad ronbs muta small nn class hses Wednesday, whole ironcladfrom England and Gibraltar. She met with very bad w ea th er on h er p assage ou t, gave lo s 110 . e did not prove a very goo d sa il er. Sh e b e l ongs to a pounder guns on the Armstrong principle, but with a smooth bore. Lieut. Bradshaw, R.N., Lieut. Le Cocq, R.N., Mr. Anstruther, and ten seamen arrived by her. The Gibraltar, 81, Capt. R. Coote, left Gibraltar on the 2d of Feb. for Almeria Bay, Port Mahon, and Malta, with 34 cadets, supernume raries, brought out by the Geyser steam sloop, from England. She arrived here on the 9th. The Fox, 2, screw storeship, Staff-Commander H. A. Moriarty, arrived at Gibraltar from Malta on the 27th Jan., and took a fresh departure for Woolwich. She has on board invalids and condemned stores. The Supply, 2, iron screw storeship, Staff-Commander Bawden, could not leave port on Wednesday, as ordered, on account of the weather, but sailed on the following day at 2 o'clock for Gibraltar, Spithead, and Wool wich, conveying condemned stores and a few super numeraries. Lieut. Allen, Royal Marines, goes home in this ship, on return from leave. The Re venge, 73 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. R. Yelverton, C. 8.), is still at Naples. The Caradoc, 2, paddlewheel despatch vessel, Lieut.-Commander E. H.

The Egyptian screw steamer Tantah, belonging to the Viceroy, arrived here on the 4th inst., laden with cotton for Liverpool, and left for that port on the following day, but had to put back through stress of weather. Among the passengers by the last Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Delhi, from Marseilles, is Capt. Lord John Hay, R.N., who is on his way to Alexandria, whence he intends proceeding, in co mpany with the manager of the Malta and Alexa ndria Telegraph at that sta tion, to Bombay, for the purpose of raising capital to lay a second Red Sea Telegraph. The Duke of Cambridge, as Field-Marshal Com manding-in-Chief, held a levee yesterday afternoon at the Horse Guards. Above 100 officers attended. Her Majesty's steam storeship Buffalo, Master C y orn id w as yesterday dry-docked a t Deptford b purpose of examining Mr. Leetch's plan of pres er ving iron ships by means of a sheathing of plates o f c oarse glass. The Buffalo has been more than 12 months afloat, and has stood ;:a k l ' Admiralty order, for the the test of some severeweather. The officials engaged in the examination were Capt. H. Chads, Superin tendent ; Cora. C. T. Noddall, Master-Attendant ; shipwright, and others. Mr. W. surface Lad of the glass animalculie, seaweed, barnacles, or incrustations of any kind. On the removal of three of the plates, d, master shw totally free from i as the side of the ship, bolts, &c., thus protected, were found exempt from corrosion, and ap peared in as good a state of preservation as when the experimental sheathing was applied at Wool wich, as reported in The Sun, in December, 1863. The plates, which were bolted on over a solution of gutta percha, were so firmly attached that after the removal of the bolts they required the hammer, chisel, and wedge to remove them. The invention is already widely known, and is about to be fitted, it is stated, to the new iron ship Affondatore, in course of construction at the Millwall Ironworks for the Italian Government, The French Chambers were opened at 1 o'clock yesterday by the Emperor in person, the ceremony taking place, as on previous occasions, in the Salle des Etats in the Louvre. The long gallery of the Tuileries still remaining unfinished, no covered communication between the two buildings was pos sible, and in .consequence their Majesties were con veyed in, state carriages from the Tuileries through the triumphal arch to the Pavilion Denon. As the short passage between the two palaces is always accomplished with a certain pomp, mounted troops escorting the carriages, a considerable crowd had assembled in the Place du Carousel, notwithstand ing an exceedingly sharp frost, to see their Majes ties pass. A party of National Guards on one side, and troops of the line on the other, were posted along the way which the imperial cortege had to take. All the neighbourhood of the palace in the direction of the Rue de Rivoli was throughout the day occu pied by a crowd of spectators anxious to behold the splendid equipages which conveyed the ambassadors, ministers, senators, and high officials, whose duty called them to attend the Imperial sitting. From eleven to a little after twelve a constant succession of carriages rolled past, after whiCh a lull ensued until a little before two, when, on the termination of the ceremony, the various personages returned to their several residences. The Salle des Etats presented very nearly the same arrangement as in preceding years. The pre vailing style of ornamentation is crimson velvet trimmed with gold lace. Many-folded hangings of that rich material were to be seen in the windows and doorways, and all the front of the long galleries at each side of the hall were similarly adorned. The seats and benches, arranged for the great dignitaries and official bodies, were likewise covered with crimson and gold. At the farthest end of the Salle was erected a raised estrade, on which wa s arranged the Emperor's throne, with chairs of State for the Princes of the Imperial family, whilst close behind were placed other seats for the great officials of the Crown. Right through the centre of the vast hall a wide passage, covered with rich carpeting, was left vacant for their Majes ties, all the space on the sides being occupied by cross seats prepared for the various bodies which had a right to attend. The first arrivals took place a little before 11, and from that hour until a quarter past 12 richly-attired personages followed each other in uninterrupted succession. Elegantly dressed ladies also made their appearance from time to time, and took their seats generally in the galleries above. In all the wide space below, nothing was to be seen but uni forms or official costumes. At first, the great per sonages conversed together, standing in groups, but as the day wore on, they by degrees proceeded to occupy their places, leaving all the centre unoccupied. As is always the case on those occa sions of high ceremony the scene had then become brilliant and striking in the extreme. All the placeS were in fact filled, except those reserved for the great personages who were to accompany the Em peror, and the general occupation of the hall was clearly perceptible. Nearest to the throne, at the sides, were to be seen the Ministers; Marshals, Ad mirals, Cardinals, and great officers of State, all in full costume and with all their orders and marks of rank. Close to the steps ascending the estrade were the members of the Privy Council, a numerous de putation of Grand Crosses of the Legion of Honour, the Vice-Presidents of the Council of State, and the Presidents of Sections, with many members of that high body. Further back, but still in front of the throne, the seats on the right were occupied by the Senate, and on the left by the Legislative Body. Behind them, along the sides, were deputations from the Court of Cassation, the Court of Accounts, and Imperial Court, all in their quaint dresses, handed down from ancient days; the clergy of different denominations ; the Prefects of the Seine, and of Police ; the Commander of the National Guard, and various high officers of that body ; Generals belonging to the first military divi sion ; Superior officers of the Army and Navy ; Members of the Institute ; deputations from the Municipal Council and Council of Prefecture ; the Mayors of Paris and other official personages. The galleries were by this time fully occupied, and all the front seats by ladies. The portion on the right nearest to the estrade was reserved for the members of the Diplomatic Body, and the opposite portion for the wives Rind female relatives of the Ministers, Marsha', and other high functionaries. The strangers whd , id obtained tickets of admission were in general placed in the galleries. Owing to the severity of the weather, the ladies' toilettes were of somewhat darker hues than usual, and muffs, furs, and warm pelisses were almost universally seen. A little before one cheers were heard outside, and the drums at the same beat a salute. After a short pause, a Master of the Ceremonies advanced into the hall and announced " the Empress," and at once the whole assemblage rose. Her Majesty and the Prince Imperial then walked up the room, preceded and followed by the officers and ladies of her house hold, and were greeted with loud cries of " Vive l'lmperatrice !" " Vive le Prince Imperial !" Her Majesty took her seat with the young Prince in a tribune on the right, close to the estrade, having close by the Princess Clotilde, the Princess Mathilde, the Princess Augusta Bonaparte, and the Princesses Lucien, Joachim, and Anna Murat. The young Prince was dressed in his uniform, as corporal of the Grenadiers of the Guard. Immediately after the cannon of the Invalides fired a salvo of 21 guns to announce the Emperor's coming, and shortly after the Imperial cortege entered the hall in the customary order. First came a Master of the Ceremonies, the Equerry on duty, and the Prefect of the Palace ; next the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, the Grand Chamberlain, and the Grand Marshal of the Palace. Then advanced the Emperor, dressed as a general officer, followed by the Princes of the Imperial Family having rank at Court, the Grand Almoner, the Commander of the Cent Gardes, and the several officers of his Majesty's household. The moment the Emperor appeared, loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur ! " burst forth from the whole assembly, and continued until his Majesty had taken his seat on the throne. Prince Napoleon, Prince Loui s Lucien Bonaparte, Prince Lucien Murat, and Prince Joachim Murat occupied places near. The Grand Master of the Ceremonies then intimated to all to be seated, and his Majesty rose and delivered, in a very distinct voice, the following speech :--- Messieurs les Senateurs, Messieurs les Deputes, At the time of your last assembling I hoped to see smoothed away by a general Congress all the difficulties which then menaced the repose of 'Europe. The event, to my regret, has proved otherwise, for the sword often severs questions instead of resolving them, and the only basis of a durable peace is the satisfaction given by the accord of the sovereigns in the general interest of the peoples. In the presence of the conflicts which surged up on the shores of the Baltic my Government, divided between its sympathies for Den- mark its good wishes for Germany, has ob served throughout the strictest neutrality. Summoned in a Conference to contribute its advice, it is bound to maintain the principle of nationalities and the right of populations to be consulted as to their fate. Our language conformable to the reserved attitude which we purpose still to maintain, has throughout been moderate and ami cable between the two parties. In the South of Europe the action of France was able to evidence itself more resolutely. I have there been desirous to render possible the solution of a difficult problem. The Convention of the 15th of September, disembarassed from impassioned inter pretation, consecrates two great principles—the consolidation of the new Italian kingdom, and the independence of the Holy see. The provisional and precarious situation which excited so many alarms is about to disappear. It is not only the members of the Italian nation ality seeking to amass themselves by feeble bonds into a little state, situate at the foot of the Alps ; it is rather a great country, which, lifting its head out of local prejudices, and despising ill-considered exacerbation, boldly transports into the heart of the Peninsula its capital, placing it there in the midst of the Appenines as in an impregnable fortification. By this act of patriotism Italydefinitively establishes itself while reconciling itself at the sometime with Catholi- It engages itself to respect the independ ence of the Holy See, and to protect the frontiers of the Roman States, thereby enabling us, also, at the same time to withdraw our troops. The Pontifical territory thus effectually guaranteed, finds itself placed under the safeguard of a treaty which solemnly binds the two Governments. The Con vention is not, therefore, a weapon of war, but a work of peace and of conciliation. In Mexico the throne consolidates itself, the country becomes tranquilised, its immense re sources begin to envelope themselves ; all this being the happy effect of the valour of our soldiers, of the good sense of the Mexican population, and of the intelligence and of the energy of the Sovereign. In Japan our navy, united to those of Eng land, of Holland, and of the United States, has given a new proof of what it can do, of what it knows how to accomplish. In Africa a sudden insurrection has come to dis turb the security of our possessions, and to show how certain tribes are still ignorant of our strength and of our benign intentions. It is at this very moment, when, by a spirit of generous justice, Fiance secures the rights of the soil to the Arab popula tion, while by liberal measures we are striving to ren der comprehensible to this misguided people that so far from our wishing to oppress, we are desirous of summoning them to partake of the benefits of civili sation. It is at this moment, I say, that infuriated by religious fanaticism, the Arabs bordering on the Desert have raised the standard of re volt. In spite of the difficulties of the country and the rigour of the season, our army, conducted with ability and rare discretion has gained the mastery over the insurrection, and after the com bat no sanguinary repression, no useless severity has saddened our victory. The zeal of the ex perienced chief placed at the head of Algeria, the unity of the command re-established, the cer tainty of the generous designs of France, all concur, as I hope to prevent the return of similar disorders. Thus, all our expeditions drawing near to their completion, our land armaments have evacuated China, the navy suffices to maintain our establishments in Cochin China. Our army in Africa is about to be diminished ; that of Mexico returns already into France ; the garrison of Rome will be again with us very speedily ; and closing the Temple of War, we shall be able with pride to inscribe on a new arch of triumph these words—" To the glory of the French armies for I cisin. he victories achieved by them in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, and in America." (Loud applause). Let us deliver ourselves up, without disquietude, to the labours of Peace. The interval between the Sessions is employed, as usual, in seeking out the means to inaugurate the moral and material well-being of the people while every useful and true idea is sure of being welcomed by me and adopted by you. Let us examine, therefore, together the measures proper to increase the prosperity of the Empire. Religion and Public Education are the objects of my constant pre-occupation. All the worships enjoy an equal liberty—the Catholic clergy exer cising even beyond its own ministry a legitimate in fluence. By the Law of Instruction it co-operates with the education of youth—by the Electoral Law it is empowered to enter into the public councils—by the Constitution it occupies its place in the Senate. But the more we surround it with evidences of con- sideration and of deference, the more we rely upon its respecting the fundamental laws of the State. It is part of my duty to maintain intact the rights of the civil power, which since St. Louis, no Sovereign of France has ever abandoned. (Loud cheers.) The development of public instruction merits your solicitude. In this country of universal suffrage, every citizen ought to know how to read and to write. A Bill will be presented to you, designed to further more and more Primary Instruction. I endeavour every year to diminish the obstacles which have so long opposed themselves in France to the free expansion of individual initiative. By the law upon coalitions, voted last year, those who work as well as those who employ have learned to settle their differences without reckoning upon the inter vention of the Government, powerless to regulate the variable connection between supply and demand. At present fresh projects will have the object of leaving greater liberty to commercial associations, and freeing the administration from a responsibi lity always illusory. I have it at heart to destroy all the obstacles which opposed the creation of societies destined to ameliorate the condition of the working classes. In promising the establishment of these societies without abandoning the guarantees for public security, we shall facilitate a useful experi- ment. The Council of State has studied with care alaw tending to give greater :powers to the muni- cipal councils and councils-generil. The communes and the departments will thus be called upon to decide their own affairs, which, de cided upon the spot, will be more promptly settled. This reform will complete the arrangements made to simplify or support minute regulations which unnecessarily complicated the wheels of the Admi- nistration. The commercial liberty inaugurated by the treaty with England is extended to our relations with Germany, Switzerland, and the united kingdom of Norway and Sweden. 'The same principles should natura lly apply to commercial navigation, and a la w is being prepare d for establishing upon the sea t h at compet iti on which alone stimulates progress. Th e rap id co mpletion of our railways, canals, is the necessary com p lement of the and roads improvement which have been commenced. 'We sh a ll t h is accom plish a portion of our t as k by stimulating year y stimulating to this private enterprise or by appre • ob ject the resources of the State without ing the good economy of our finances,compromis having recourse to credit. and without com munication in the interior The facilit y of pro motes commerce, stimulates industry, and prevents the too great rarity or abundance of products, the effects of which are alternately hm : tfuteithe3ioitittO consumer or the producer. The more bar! menta'n - 1 4 1 li til v e m o a f r t in ra e n if s 3 port, extended,ecauseless grea wterw:ill thereb*e t h e be fa ctio complain of those abrupt changes in the price of articles of the first necessity. Thus, we shall be able to meet the partial inconvenience suffered by agriculture. Some attribute the momentary suffer ing to the suppression of the sliding scale ; they forget that in 1851, when it was in existence, the depreciation in the price of cereals was far more considerable, and that this very year the export of wheat far exceeds the import. (Applause.) It is, on the contrary, due to a liberal legislation, to the impulse given to all the elements of national wealth, that our foreign commerce, which amounted in 1851 to two milliards 614 million francs, has now risen to the prodigious sum of upwards of seven milliards. (Loud cheers.) New Bills will be laid before you in another direc tion, with the object of increasing the guarantees of individual liberty. The first authorizes the pro visional release, with or without bail, even in crimi nal cases ; the second suppresses personal arrest in civil and commercial matters—an innovation, how ever, nothing but the re-enactment of a very ancient principle. From the earliest ages of Rome it had been determined that the property, and not debt.th us therefore the person, of the debt or , was respons ibl e f or th e (Applau se .) Let continue to follow the course marked out. Let us live abroad in peace with the different Powers, and let us not cause the voice of = France to be heard save for law and justice. At home let us protect religious ideas, without ceding aught of the civil power;, us spread education throughout all classes of it3+st ; -let 'us simplify, without destroying, our admirable administrative system ; let us give the commune and the depart ment a more independent existence ; let us arouse individual initiative, and the spirit of association. Lastly, let us elevate the soul and strengthen the body of the nation. (Cheers.) But while making ourselves the ardent promoters of useful reforms, let us firmly maintain the basis of the constitution ; let us oppose the exaggerated tendencies of those who provoke changes, with the sole object of sapping that which we have founded. Utopia is to welfare that which illusion is to truth; and progress is not the realisation of a more or less ingenious theory, but the application of the results of experience, conse crated by time, and aecepted by public opinion. (Long-continued cheering.) When the applause had subsided, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, having taken the orders of his Majesty, intimated to M. Rouher, Minister of State, that the oath should be administered to such senators as had been nominated since last ses sion. Afterwards the new members of the Legi slative Body took the oath. The hon. Minister then declared that the session for 1865 was open, and he requested the members of the two Cham bers to assemble next day at their respective places of sitting for the despatch of business. Their Ma jesties then withdrew in the same order as had marked their coming, and another salvo of artillery intimated that the ceremony had terminated. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,589, and showed a decrease on those of the two previous weeks, when they were considerably above 1,700. In ten cities of the king dom the births were 4,428 ; the deaths were 3,299 in the week ; and the annual rate of mortality was 31 per 1,000 ; it was less than it had been in pre vious weeks. In London the average number of deaths in the sixth week of ten previous years 1855-64 was, with an increase of population, 1,504. The actual num ber last week, therefore, exceeded the estimated number by 85. The deaths from bronchitis, which had been 339 in the previous week, declined to 226 ; from phthisis they were 167, from pneumonia 75, and from heart disease 78. Whooping-cough, of which 82 cases were recorded, was the most fatal in the hyinotic class of diseases. At 15, West-street, Somers-town, on the 29th of January, the son of a labourer, aged two years, died of " pneumonia, accelerated by want." (Inquest.) Fourteen infants died from being overlaid or other wise suffocated in bed. A man was killed by a cart. Three women, whose ages were returned as 95, 96, and 97 years, were registered in the week. Mr. Yardley, registrar of St. George's, Blooms bury, who records 18 deaths in the week, of which eight were in the Infant Home, 35, Great Coram street, an institution for illegitimate children, states that the mortality in this house continues to be very great, and that Dr. Buchanan, the resident medical officer of St. Giles's district, having visited it, made suggestions to the principal of the establishment which have been carried out, and among others that the resident medical officer of the Sick Children's Hospital should visit it daily, in addition to the visits of the regular surgeon of the Home, which are made three times a week ; but the children are generally so weak and emaciated from want of nourishment and attention previously to admission that the mortality of the inmates is inevitably high, and it is only by the greatest care that any considerable number of them can be saved. The rate of mortality was 27 per 1,000 in London, 28 in Edinburgh, and 34 inDublin ; 45 in Liverpool, 35 in Manchester, 35 in Salford, 26 in Birmingham, 34 in Leeds, 28 in Bristol, and 41 in Glasgow. In Liverpool the births were 406, the deaths 411; in Manchester the births 282, the deaths 241; in Salford the births 10 2 , the deaths 74 ; in Birming ham the births 292, the deaths 163 ; in Leeds the births 250, the deaths 144 ; in Bristol the births 120, the deaths 88 ; in Edinburgh the births 120, the deaths 94; in Glasgow the births 366, the deaths 329; in Dublin the births 154, the deaths 156; and in Vienna the deaths were 357 in the week ending the 28th of January, when the temperature was 1.4 deg. higher than in London. Last week the births of 1,171 boys i n en a12, d 1 0 6 n 5 girls, in all 2,336 childre n , w e r e registered In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1855-6 4 the average number (corrected) was 2,138. A t the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.982 in. The daily mean was above 30in. on the last three days. The reading was 29.51 in. at the be g inning of the week, and rose to 30.43 in. on F rida y . The mean temperature of the air in the week was 35.3 deg., which is 3.4 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). Th e mean daily temperature was below the average on six days, and on Sattoday the defect was equal to IFB deg.

When the doc trine of h°lll c e°pathy was first introduced into this country, the re were to b;;obt fined no ireparattms of cocos either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either su i plied i A the crude state, or so nest:Malty Manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Ep ••s, of London, Homceopathic Chemist, was iwiuced in the year IS 4 to turn his attention to this subject, and at ien,;th succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, "Food and its Adulterations," says —" Cocoa contains a great variety of im portant nutritive principles—every ingredißut necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "Asffeea nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee co in a sold Secured b y or tea."
