I OLF.II QUIS DICIIIIE FALSUII AUDg4T Y LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 3, 1825. OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. We regret to Day that His MAJESTIC, being prevented by indisposition, from delivering in person THE SPEECH from the Throne, the usual ceremonies took place in the House of Lords, and I t was read to the attending Members of both liouse s by the LORD CHANCELLOR. The fol low►ng is an accurate copy : " My Lords and Gentlemen, " We are commanded by His MAJESTY to express to you the gratification which His Ma- Jesty receives from the continuance and progres- sire increase of that Public Prosperity upon his Majesty congratulated you at the ° Pening of the last Session of Parliament. " There never was a period in the history of th e Country when all the great Interests of the 114t1011 were, at the same time, in so thriving a "Ild ition, or when a feeling of content and sa- tisfaetion was more widely diffused through all Classes of the British People. " It is no small addition to the gratification of Ins Majesty that Ireland is participating in the general Prosperity. •" The outrages, for the suppression of which extraordinary Powers were confided to his Ma- iPstv 4) have so far .2 - eased as to warrant the sus- Pen sioli of the exercise of those Powers hi most of the districts heretofore disturbed. .44 Industry and Commercial Enterprize are "tending themselves in that part of the United I(in g"rn• It is therefore the more to be regret led that Associations should exist in Ireland, /Illicit have adopted proceedings irreconcileable 'with the spirit of the Constitution, and calcu- ' cu ed by exciting alarm, and by exasperating aninl "ities, to endanger the Peace of Society, and to retard the course of National Improve- rnent . . " nis Majesty relies upon your wisdom to con sider, without delay, the means of applying a remedy to this evil. •" His Majesty further recommends the Ite- Il ewal of the Inquiries instituted last Session into the State of Ireland. " ilia Afajesty has seen with regret the in- terruption of tranquillity in India by the un provoked Aggression acid extravagant Pretensions of the Burmese Government, which rendered hostile operations against that State unavoidable. " It is, however, satisfactory to find that none of the other Native Powers have manifested any unfriendly disposition, and that the bravery and conduct displayed by the Forces already em ployed against the Enemy afford the most fa- vourable Prospect of a termination of the contest. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 44 His Majesty kip directed us to inform you that the Estimates of the year will be forthwith laid before you. " The state of India, and circumstances con- nectod with other Parts of His Majesty's Fo. reign Possessions, will render some augmenta- tion in His Military Establishments indispensable. " Ills Majesty has, however, the sincere gra- tification of believing', that notwithstanding tho in- creased expence arising out of this augmentation, such is the flourishing condition and progressive improvement of the Revenue, that it will still be in your power, without affecting Public Credit, to give additional facilities to the Na tional Industry, and to make a further reduc tion of the Burthens of the People. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " His Majesty commands us to inform you, that His Majesty continues to receive from his Allies, and generally from all Princes and States, assurances of their unabated desire to maintain and cultivate the Relations of Peace with His Majesty, and with each other, and that it is His Majesty's constant endeavour to preserve the general tranquillity. " The Negociations which hare been so long carried on through His Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople, between the Ewporor of Russia and the Ottoman Porte have been brought to an amicable issue. " 11 is Majesty has directed to be laid before you, Copies of Arrangements which have been entered into with the Kingdoms of Denmark and Hanover, for improving the Commercial Inter. course betweeu those States and the United Kingdom. " A Treaty, having for its object the more effectual Suppression of the Slave Trade, has been concluded between His Majesty and the king of Sweden, a Copy of which Treaty (as soon as the Ratification thereof shall have been exchanged) His Majesty has directed to be laid before you. 46 Some difficulties have arisen with respect to the ratification of the Treaty for the same object, which was negociated last year between his Majesty and the United States of America. " These difficulties howt.ver, he trusts, will not finally impede the conclusion of so beneficial an Arrangement. " In. conformity with the Declarations which have been repeatedly made by His Majesty, His Majesty has taken measures for confirming by Treaties the Commercial Relations already subsisting between this Kingdom and those Conn- tries of America, which appear to have esta- blished their separation from Spain. " So soon as these Treaties shall be complet- ed, His Majesty will direct copies of them to be laid before you. " His Majesty commands us not to conclude, without congratulating you upon the continued Improvement in the state of the Agricultural Interest, the solid foundation of our National Prosperity, nor without informing you that evident advantage has been derived from the relief which you have recently given to Com- coerce by the removal of inconvenient Restric- tions. " His Majesty recommends to you to persevere, as circumstances may allow, in the removal of similar restrictions, and llis Majesty directs us to assure you, that you may rely upon His Ma jesty's cordial Co-operation, in fostering and extending that Commerce, which, whilst it is, under the blessing of Providence, a main source of strength and power to this Country, contri- hutes in no less a degree to the happiness and civilization of mankind." The French Papers of Monday and private Letters from Paris of the same date arrived last night. it appears by the former that the Cham bers had not yet proceeded to discuss the im portant projects of law laid before them ; and by the latter we are informed, that the commission appointed to examine the project of law for in demnifying the emigrants, have found their task so difficult, from the increasing pretensions of the Deputies and ()tilers interested in the result of their labour: , , that in order to satisfy the de mands of all these parties, by the amendments they will be obliged to introduce, it will not be possible to present their report before the Ic2th or 15th instant. We have inserted in a preceding column ex tracts of the news contained in these Journals. Berlin Papers contain the following articles from St. Petersburg!' of Dec. 31 : " A short time ago the Minister for Popular Instruction, at a meeting of the Members of the chief board for the direction of the Schools, made a ♦ery remarkable speech, in which he attempted to settle the question which has been warmly can vassed in our times respecting the benefit or mischief arising froni the general education of the people. We will therefore give the conclusion of the speech : " The Sciences, besides, are beneficial only when they are taught and applied like salt in due measure, according to the state of the people and the wants of each class. To teach the re finements of language to the whole nation or to a disproportionate part of it, would do more harm than good. To give to the son of the peasant instructions is rhetoric would make him a bad, useless, and even mischievous citizen.. Hut every one needs precepts and instruction in Christian virtues and good morals : they remove nobody from the place which fate has assigned him, and make him in all situations and cases . re spectable, modest, contented, and happy. A pious and indus trious husbandman, as a good husband, a tender father, a peace able neighbour, a man of moderate wishes, who gains his.daily bread by the sweat of his brow—is, in my opinion, much more enlightened than the crafty learned man who is versed in all the sciences, but following the impulse of his immoral passions, tor ments himself with Ilia incessant reveries, and brings others from the right road of a quiet and happy life. I am convinced, Gentle men, that their opinions of merit are not different from yours, and hope that when we perform on this basis the will of him who sent us, we shall by our zeal and assiduity call down the blessing of God upon us, render . ourAelvez worthy of the favour of our Sovereign, and be able to do the most essential services to the country."—( Vicuna Court Gazette, Jan. 20.) A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning. The following are extracts : [Front the Jamaica Royal Gazette, Dec. 23.] gatract of a Letter from Panama, the 2d instant:—" I hare not heard a word of news from Peru since I last wrote to you. I am persuaded that all operations have been suspended in that quarter, on account of the rainy season, which sets in in that country about the month of October. The arrival of the Asia Spanish 64 at Callao, caused, I believe, the blockade of that port to be raised ; but it would appear that she does not intend to do any further mischief in the cause of independence. The expedition that sailed from this on the 20th of October, with 4,500 effective men, well clothed and armed, must ere this have reached Truxillo, on the coast of Peru, where they were to have disembarked, and will enable Bolivar to decide the fate of Peru." • (From the Jamaica Courat . tt, Dec. 11.) The Francis :'ree ling packet, Captain Cunuingham, arrived yesterday from Carthagena. (From the above Pap& of the 18th.) It is generally expected that the House of Assembly will be prorogued this day. ST. JAGO DE LA VEGA, DEc. o.—The Honourable House of Assembly having finished the business of the Se►sion, his Grace the Governor was pleased to prorogue it. :Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly, I have passed all such Bills as base been presented to me, and feel great pleasure in granting you a recess. The measures you have adopted for the protection and encouragement of the slave population, although not corresponditr: with the wishes and expectations of his 3lajesty's Government, I trust I may consider as an earnest of your intention to avail yourself of all opportunities of improving their condition, and rewarding their industry and good conduct. According to intelligence of a late data from Cadiz, serious differences had arisen between the Royalist Gen. CAMPANA, and the French Commander in that city. Instead of complying with the demand of the former that three De puties of the Cortes who had fOund shelter in Cadiz should be given up to be tried, or rather sacrificed, General LaToutt Forssac had turned the officer and the troops sent to execute his orders, out of that garrison, and had left them at liberty to join the Spanish Intendant of Police whom he had previously compelled to retire to Chiclana in consequence of the persecut ing spirit which that individual had displayed. It appears, however, that though behaving at once in a wise and tem perate manner, the French Commander conceived that he was incurring considerable peril. Many of the measures which he was adopting were measures of precaution. He augmented the fortifications of that place and its avenues to such an extent, that it was thought, or at least said, that in four months it would be rendered like Gibraltar, impregnable. Numerous pieces of artillery had been brought from the new foundery at Seville to arm the works, and every thing seemed to indicate that the French intended to hold Cadiz for a considerable time. Dortn, FEB. 2.—The Britannia Steam Packet arrived last evening from Calais with his Excellency 1)on C. Los Eros, Ambassador from Spain, with the Count Trasta mare and suite. They proceeded this morning for London, under a salute from the western Heights. Arrived this day front Calais his Majesty's Steam Packet Fury, having on board the corpse of the late Earl of TIIAR ET, to be conveyed to the family vault at Ilothfie]d, in this County, for interment. H. BAR I NG, Esq. M. I'., and several other passengers, arrived in the Fury front Calais. A private letter from Kingston in Jamaica, dated the 25th December, states that ti►e Colombus merchant ship had just arrived, and was boarded on Monday the 20th of that month, off Cape St. Nicholas, by the Colombian brig Eagle, who reported that a French fleet was off St. Domingo. Letters are in town from Carthagena of the 27th December: they bring no news. Yesterday, at one o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, at which most of the Ministers attended in their Court dressec, to he in readiness to attend his MAJESTY in Privy Council at four o'clock. The Cabinet continued in close deliberation till past three. Yesterday morning, the Lords of his Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council held a meeting at IVhitehall-place, to hear and determine Planta tion Appeals ; Lord GIFFORD presided ; Lord STower.r. and Sir JOHN NICHOL'', were also in at tendance. The meeting broke up soon after three o'clock. Amongst the new speculations of the day is one for making an open street from Southwark bridge to the Mansion House. It i s propose d to let all the houses in chambers, and it is calcu lated that the Bridge, which is now unpro fi table, will be much benefited by this improvement. THE KING'S COURT. Yesterday his MAJESTY held a Court at his Palace in Pall mall, which was attended by—the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor. the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Se. cretaries of State for the Home. Foreign, and Colonial De partments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master- General of the Ordnance, the President of the B oar d o f Controul, th e Ch ance ll or of Duchy of Lancaster, the Presi dent of the Board of Trade, the Master of the Horse, the Trea. surer of the Household, Earl Cathcart, Gold Stick in Waiting. The King held a Privy Council, at which his Majesty's Speech at the opening of the Session of Parliament, was finally ar ranged and agreed upon. His Majesty proceeded to prick the nominated list of Sheriff's for the different Counties for the pre sent year, which will appear in the Gazette. The King gave audience to the Lord. Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, and the Earl of Harrowby. Mr. Buller attended as Clerk of the Council. The Court broke up soon after six o'clock. The Duke of York visited the King yesterday. Yesterday morning the Duke of York went to view the state-carriage built for the King of Portugal, at the manufactory of Messrs. Bushnell, Honeywell, and ‘Vool, in Berners-street, previous to its being packed up to be sent to Portugal. Yesterday the Earl of Liverpool, as Prime Minister, gave a Grand Parliamentary Dinner, at his house in Whitehall, to Twenty-four Peers, who all appeared in full Court-dresses, as is customary, the same as at the King's Levee. Upon this occasion, the Earl of Liverpool made known to his Noble Guests, the contents of the King's Speech.—Mr. Secretary Canning also gave a grand Parliamentary Dinner, at his house at Brighton, to about forty Members of the House of Commons, at which also the distinguished guests were informed of the contents of the King's Speech. —. ...

The Members of this admirable Institution assembled yesterday at the Freemasons' Hall to hold their Anniversary Dinner, WILLIAM WILLIAMS, Esq. 11. P. MRS in the Chair. The company amounted to upwards of one hun dred. As soon as the cloth was removed Benedictus sit Deus was sung by the professional vocal performers, 3lessrs. Tay lor, Jolley, Phillips, and Master Smith. The CHAIRMAN' then gave " The King." The toast was drank with three times three, and the greatest enthusiasm. Anthem—" God save the King." The toasts next given were—" The Duke of York and the Royal Family," and " The Army and Navy." Tune— " Rule Britannia." The CHAIRMAN then rose to congratulate the Society on the Report that had been read and received at a meeting in the morning, by which it appeared that the Society was prospering greatly ; that its business had materially increased within the last twelve months, and especially during the latter four months • and that its prospect s o f success were suc h as to answer ihe most sanguine hopes of its admirers. Ile congra tulated the Society on having that morning conic to the deter mination of admitting their brethren of Scotland to a participa tion in the advantages to be derived from the Institution. This he was convinced would have a good effect, as the more that gentlemen of the profession of the law were drawn together, the greater would be the benefit to society at large. Ile would, therefore, cheerfully give—" Prosperity to the Law Life In surance Company,' and, what was most material to that Com pany—" Long Life to the Insurer." Song—" Faithless Emma." ___ _ The toasts then given were—" The Lord Chancellor." " The Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, and the other Judges of the land." Song—Mr. Taylor. Mr. Sergeant PP AXE rose to propose the health of a Learned Gentleman, who had long been a member of the profession, whom he remembered to have been once actively and success fully engaged in the Courts at Westminster Hatl—and who, although he had quitted the profession, had not deserted it—but who, by being then present at the meeting, proved both his re collection of it and his respect for it— "- The Chairman—William Williams, Esq." The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, observed that he should always remain attached to the profession in which he.had spent his earlier days—in which, indeed, he had remained till the meridian of his life. lie had left it with regret, and his leaving it was owing to circumstances over which he had no controul - but he should continue to es t eem an d respect i t as long as ite lived. He thanked the Meeting most cordially for the honour they had done him. Glee—" Minheer Vandunk." The " Trustees of the Society" was then given. NATHANIEL A TcHusox, Esq. for himself and his brother Trustees, returned thanks. Song. Mr. Phillips—" The Earth is a Toper." The CHAIRMAN then observed, that the prosperity of the Society, in a great degree, depended on its Directors. When he informed the meeting that 700 policies had been issued, and that but three deaths had occurred, he need not offer any other proof that the Managers lied done their duty. He would there fore propose their healths. _ _ L'ounTENAY, Esq. for himself and his brother Direc tors, returned thanks. The sphere in which they had to act, he observed, was limited, and the success of the society mainly depended on the exertions of the Proprietors, at least a great deal more than it did on the Directors. Sonic persons had thought that the Society had been somewhat Quixotic in giving a profit of 4s. sd. to the insurers, but he thought this should induce the Proprietors to recommend their clients to go to an office where they might insure under such advantageous cir cumstances. lie hoped that each Proprietor would act as if the success of the institution depended on himself, and then its success must be ensured. " The Aditors" were then given. Mr. CAMPBELL returned thanks. Ile said that the services of the Auditors, if jealous, had been agreeable, for they had had nothing to do but notice the rising progress of the Society. One of its advantages, and not the least, was, that the members of it were enabled to meet together as they then met, that, while they endeavoured to provide for their prosperity after death, they might make their own lives more agreeable and happy. Song, Master Smith,—" Sweet Home." The next toast was The Stewards." Mr. A r.l)::nsox returned thanks. The CHAtit MAN then said, he would propose as a toast the profession that was equally dear to them as lawyers and as Englishmen—" The Bar." PttEsToN, Esq. said, that the proudest day of his life was the day on which he entered the profession. While they were complimenting the barristers, they should not forget that perhaps a greater degree of merit was due to the atomics ; they were the persons who sought for and dis covered talent, and recommended to their clients those persons who, no matter how low might be their stations, were the best calculated to defend the properties and the rights of their countrymen. Those men might therefore be thanked for the present high situation in which the Bar stood; for never at the Bar was there a greater assemblage of talent, of knowledge, and of learning, than at the present day. It had risen, and he was convinced would rise. So formidable did the spirit and the resolution of the English adVocates ap pear to a despot—the Czar Peter—that when lie heard one of them argue in the cause of freedom in one of our Courts, he said—" 1 have but one such in my c ountry, an d when I return I will cut off his head." lee—" The pleasant spring." The CHAIRMAN said, that he felt the weight pf the last speaker's remarks, and knew how much the Bar was indebted to- the attornies for the talent by which it Was graced. He would therefore propose, " The Attornies and Solicitors." Gitr.EN, Esq. returned thanks. Song—Mr. Phillips. The health of Dr. Latham, Physician to the Ingtitution, was then drank. Mr. OLDHAM proposed the health of M r . P res t on, an d said that when the Institution was in its infancy, and had many dif ficulties to encounter, that Gentleman was its firmest friend, and to him, in a great measure, its success was owing. Mr. PRESTON returned thanks. He said that from the moment he became acquainted with the views of the Society, and the prospect it had of being so universally beneficial, he became warmly interested for its success. A Member made an apology for the abs ence o f M essrs. BROUGHAM and SCARLET T, alleging that they were obliged to attend on account of some parliam entary arrangements. In the course of the evening the health of 3lr. A N DERTON , t h e Secretary, was given and received with great applause. That Gentleman briefly returned thanks, and promi se d to exert him self to the utmost to support the interest of the Institution. The spirit of conviviality prevailed throughout the night. The Chairman withdrew about eleven o'clock, an d t h e company not long after quitted the room, highly gratified with the proceed ings of the Meeting.

SPORTING. THE BRIGHTON HARRIERS. BRIGHTON, FEB. I.—The Harriers which threw off at Patcham yesterday,produced an agreeable day 's di version,though several accidents, but all of a trifling nature, resulted, owing at intervals to the density of the fog. A brace of hares was the spoil of the day. Several Gentlemen wire kept out to a late hour after the sports, in consequence of their taking wrong routes, from the vapour-enveloped downs, for this place [40112 e wandered to near Shoreham, six miles west of us, and others to Rottingdean, four miles east, before they could find a clue to end their difficulties. The Richmond 'thespian Manager, who had saddled " White Surrey for the field," for aught we know to the contrary, wandered many miles wide of his mark, ere he could exultingly exclaim—" Richard's himself again." We did not hear that he offered " a kingdom for a hers:.," for it appeared that he had one more than he knew well what to do with, though we believe he would have parted with his high mettled steed, for a slow but sure footed donkey, in one de sponding moment, that could have afforded him the promise of being dismounted, no matter how close to a mud-ho'e, within a cognizable distance of his own residence. The latter, how_ ever, he reached, to " eat his mutton cold," and free from cor poreal mishap or fractures. PIGEON SHOOTING. The Pigeon-match between the three Crack Clubs, .."slidgham, Ashton, and the New flats, took place yesterday, by adjourn ment, in the Bagshot inclosures, for 150 sovereigns. Midgharn won it by the seven members killing from 49 birds, forty-one. Ashton killed forty, and the New Hats the like number..__ Several other sporting matches took place. . Accounts from Santiago to the beginning of October state, that since the revolution in Chili, in July last, all had been tranquil. The new Government is stated to have done more in the work of reformation than had ever been effected before. Many salutary changes in the bigotted forms existing in Chili were about to be pmt it force, and all these proceedings were to be sub mitted to a Congress which it was believed would be Called in the course of October, and which was also to form a new Constitution. On the 29th August a very severe shock of earthquake was felt at Santiago, but no damage was done.
