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 p rov i s i onal 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 Italydefi nitively establishes itself while reconciling itself at the same time 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 kditnry - thug - 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, France secures the rights of the soil to the Arab popula tion, while byliberal 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 the 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 a law tending to give greater Ipowers to the muni cipal councils and councils-general. 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 settle d. This reform will complete the arrangements made w hich 1 to simplify or support minute regulations o at f io th n e s Adm - unnecessarily complicated the wheels 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 naturally, apply to commercial navigation, and a law is being prepared for establishing upon the sea that competition which alone stimulates progress. The rap id co mpletion of our ra ilwa y s, canals, and roads he is the necessary complement of the which have bee n commenced.

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 proc.mds 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.

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 company with the manager of the Malta and Alexandria 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 w as yesterday dry-docked at Deptford • b C y oill id 3 n7 k r 3' Admiralty order, for the purpose of examining Mr. Leetch's plan of preserving iron ships by means of a sheathing of plates of coarse glass. The Buffalo has been more than 12 months afloat, and has stood the test of some severe weather. The officials engaged Superin tendent ; Corn. C. T. Noddall, Master-Attendant ; in the examination were Ca pt. H. Chads, Mr. W. Ladd, master shipwright, and others. The surface of the glass was totally free from animalcules, seaweed, barnacles, or incrustations of any kind. On the removal of three of the plates, 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. OPENING OF THE FRENCH CHAMBERS ~,___ SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR. A pi Hion of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday. 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 palabes 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 alittle 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- wailing style of ornamentation is crimson 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 was 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 and female relatives of the Ministers, Marshals, and other high functionaries. The strangers who had 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 Louis 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 otherwie, 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.

Thus, we shall be able to meet the partial inconvenience suffered by agriculture. Some attribute the momentary suffer ing to the suppression of the slidin g s ca l e ; t h ey 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 the person, of the debtor, was responsible for the debt. (Applause.) different marked Let Powers, us out. therefore continue to follow the course Let us li ve a b roa d i n peace w i t h the 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 p ower ; let us spread education throughout all classes of society ; let us simplify, without destroying, our admirable administrative system ; let us give the commune and the depart -mentr 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, aconse 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 zymotic class of diseases. At 15, West-street, Somers-town, on the 29th of Januarjr, - fh - Friiiii - Of a labourer, aged two years, diecl of " pneumonia, accelerated by want." .(INuest.) 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 home 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 102, 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 1.1 deg. higher than in London. Last week the births of 1,171 boys and 2,165 girls, in all 2,336 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1855-64 the average number (corrected) was 2,138. hei A gh t tthoef RthoyeablaOrobmseervteartoinryt„he6wrezwiwcash, 2th9e9mB2ea: The daily mean was above 30in. on the last three days.
