Berger, Spence, and Co. respecting che micals, minerals, and metals :—" The cheerful feel ing prevalent in the chemical trade is now more apparent, and affects most branches, giving rise to more hopeful prospects of an advance in prices among the manufacturers, many of whom have been so long suffering from the low values cur rent. A rise in sodas of all descriptions, and in bleaching powder, seems imminent, and consumers who have booked their orders for all the year's re quirements have been well advised. In the mineral market nothing of note has taken place, and there has been rather less than an average amount of business transacted. The week closes with a better demand for metals, and prices generally are im proving. Scotch pig iron is in fair demand, closing steady." BRITI9II YURDS--.TWO O'OLOOK. G 0 VERNMENT lumps. 3 per Cent.

The scene presented in the House of Peers differs very materially from that when her Majesty is present. Than the splen did chamber is filled by thousands of the female aristocracy of the land iu elPgant cpstaines and all the splendour of the State, but to-day the beaches of the Peers were occupied by comparatively few ladies iu txdinary morning attire. At two o'clock the Lord Chancellor and the other Royal Commissioners, habited in their scarlet and ermine robe,, euttred the 1-lon, e, and having taken their seats in front of the Throne, the Royal Com- mission was read at length at. the table, and on its conclusion the Usher of the Black Rod was directed to summon the House of Commons to the bar of the House. In a few minutes the Speaker, Mr. Gladstone, and most of his colleagues, and a great number of the members of the House attended, when the Lord Chamberlain communicated to them her Majesty's commands, and then his lordship read as fol- lows : THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We have it in command from her Majesty again to invite you to resume your arduous duties, and to express the regret of her Majesty that recent in disposition has prevented her from meeting you in person, as had been her intention, at a period of re markable public interest. The friendly sentiments which are entertained in all quarters towards this country, and which Her Majesty cordially reciprocates, the growing dis position to resort to the good offices of allies in cases of international difference, and the concilia- tory spirit in which several such cases have recently been treated and determined, encourage liar Ma- ji.sty's confidence in the continued maintenance of the general tranquillity. Papers will be laid before you with reference to recent occurrences in New Zealand. GENTLEMEN OF THE lIOUSE OF COMMONS, The Estimates for the services of the approach ing financial year are in a forward state of prepara tion. Framed with a view in the first place to the effective maintenance of the Public Establishments, they will impose a diminished charge upon the sub jects of her Majesty. The condition of the Revenue has answered to the expectations which were formed during the past Session. tier Majesty trusts that you will be disposed to carry to its completion the inquiry which you last year instituted into the mode of conducting Parlia mentary and Municipal Elections, and thus to pre pare the materials of useful and early legislation. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, It will be proposed to you to amend the laws respecting the occupation and acquisition of land in Ireland, in a manner adapted to the peculiar cir cumstances of that country, ,and calculated, as her Majesty believes, to bring about improved relations between the several classes con- cerned in Irish agriculture, which collec tively constitute the great bulk of the people. These provisions, when matured by your impar tiality and wisdom, as her Majesty trusts, will tend to inspire among persons with whom such senti ments may still be wanting, that steady confidence in the law, and that desire to render assistance in its effective administration, which mark her subjects in general ; and thus will aid in consolidating the fabric of the Empire. We are further directed by her Majesty to state that many other subjects of pub:ic importa.uca appear to demand your care ; and among these especially to inform you, that a Bill has been pre pared for the enlargement, on a comprehensive scale, of the means of National Education. Iu fulfilment of an engagement to the Govern ment of the United States, a Bill will be proposed to von for the purpose of defining the status of subjects or citiz,3udof foreign countries, who may dcsre naturalization, and of aiding them in the attainment of that object. You will further be invited to consider Bills pre pared in compliance with the Report of the Com mission on Courts of Judicature, for the improve ment of the constitution and procedure of the Superior Tribunals of both original and appellate jurisdiction. The question of religious tests in the Universities and Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge has been under discussion for many years. Her Majesty re commends such a legislative settlement of this ques tion as may contribute to extend the usefulnes of these great institutions, and to heighten the respect with which they are justly regarded. Bills have been prepared for extending the inci dence of rating, and for placing the collection of the large sums locally raised for various purposes on a simple and uniform footing. Her Majesty has likewise to recommend tbat you should undertake the amendment of the laws which regulate the grant of licences for the sale of fermented and spirituous liquors. Measures will also be brought under your con sideration for facilitating the transfer of land, for regulating the succession to real property in cases of intestacy, for amending the laws as to the disa bilities of members of Trade Combinations, and for both consolidating and improving the body of sta tutes which relate to merchant shipping. While commending to you these weighty matters of legislation, her Majesty commands us to add, that the recent extension of agrarian crime in several parts of Ireland, with its train of accom panying evils, has filled her Majesty with painful concern. The Executive Government has employed freely the means at its command for the prevention of out rage, and a partial improvement may he observed. But although the number of offences, within this class of crime, has been by no means so great as at some former periods, the indisposition to give evi dence in aid of the administration of justice has been alike remarkable and injurious. For the removal of such evils, her Majesty places her main reliance on the permanent operation of wise and necessary changes in the law. Yet she will not hesitate to recommend to you the adoption of special provisions, should such a policy appear, during the course of the session, to be required by the paramount interest of peace and order. Upon these and all other subjects her Majesty devoutly prays that your labours may be constantly attended by the blessing of Almighty God. At the conclusion of the reading of the Royal Speech, the Speaker and the members of the House of Commons retired, and their lordships adjourned until the usual hour of assembling.

The Queen drove in the grounds to-day. Their loyal Highnesses Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice also went out. LATEST INTELL WINCE (REU'ER'S TELEGILUIS.) FRANCE. PARIS, Feb. 8. The Gazette des 7 ribunaux states that M. Roche fort was arrested last night at eight o'clock, as he was about to enter the Public-meeting Hall in the Rue de Flandres. Ile made no resistance, but, on the contrary, said to the bystanders at the en trance : "Remain quiet, citizens. I shall soon return to the meeting." After this the Commissary of the Police and his assistants accompanied M. Rochefort to a carriage, and conducted him to the prison of St. Pelagic. Just after the arrest M. Florviens, who was pre sent, stepped forward, aryl unsheathing the blade from a sword-cane, shouted, " Rochefort must be set free." It is asserted that he fired two or three shots from a revolver, and that others followed his example. Luckily, however, no one was wounded. At the same time the Commissary of Police, who was preient at the meeting inside the House, de clared the meeting dissolved. He was immediately surrounded and drawn into the street, and threat ened with death. For upwards of an hour he was exposed to insults awl menaces, but was finally res cued by police agents. About 10 o'clock numerous mobs of people ap peared in the Rue Aboukir, but no serious dis order is reported. Half au hour later an attempt was made to throw up barricades in the Faubourg du Temple, and also in the neighbourhood of the Courcine Barracks. Carriages and omnibuses were upset, hut the pre sence of the police sufficed to disperse the rioters. About the same time six omnibuses had been overturned in the Rue de Paris, at Belleville, and a somewhat imposing barricade was thus formed. At one o'clock this morning strong detachments of the Garde de Paris and bodies of infantry and cavalry proceeded to Belleville. The Boulevards at the same early hour presented a rather animated spectacle, yet no disorder has taken place. Large bodies of police are mr.se.l together at the entrance of the Faubourg Montmartre. At the barricade which was erected early this morning in the Rue de Paris, at Belleville, fifteen individuals engaged in erecting it were arrested. A commissary of police, named Lombard, was wounded on the left side of big chest by a bayonet thrust. Some distance from this a sergeut de ville was struck in the breast by a revolver. At half past 12 this morning the rioters broke into the gun shop of M. Lefaucheux, Rue Lafayette, and de camped with 40 guns and 300 revolvers. Nume rous arrests have taken place, and the first batch of prisoners taken to the Prefecture de Police amounts to 200. The barricades are guarded by troops of the line and the police. 11JuasE, Feb. 7.—Three o'clock—The market closed as follows : f per Cent. 3 per Cent End of mouth.— 73 55 Credit Stobilier 205 Transatlantic 217 50 Credit Foncier 1727 50 Paris Gas 168 50 Suez Canal 335 Bank Shares 2870 Ital'an gives 54 70 Austrian Fives Ottoman Loan Do.
