Is there any necessity for the toleration of these nuisances in the heart of the metropolis of the British empire ? Certainly not. In no other ;capital in the . civilized world are public cattle markets' suffered to be held—in no other metropolis are slaughter-houses tole rated. In Paris the cattle market is held extra urbenz. In Paris the Abattoirs, or slaughter-houses, are fitted up at some distance from the city, and there is no instance on record of any individual being gored by a bull in the good city of Paris, or of any ox being driven through its streets, during the present century. We are rejoiced to see that at length a company has been formed (The Grand Cattle Morket and Abattoir Comi:4tny) to rid us of this nuisance. In France the Government has long since interfered to put a stop to the propagation of pestilence by means of cattle markets and slaughter-houses. In England it appears that it is left to private enterprise to patronise those sanatory measures, which on the conti nent, the Government, as the guardian , of the people, thinks it necessary to. adopt. We wish: this company every success in its good work, and as au incitement to them to persevere, we may mention the tact, that while the cost to the butcher slaughtering a beast in an abattoir is considerably less than it was. under the old slaughter-house system, the gain to the Government (in this case it would be to the projectors) is sufficient not only to maintain the abattoirs and the markets, but to afford a very fair profit upon the capital invested. The day, we trust, is not far distant when every large town will have its cattle market and abattoir, extra urbem, and when the existence of live stock markets' and slaughter houses in cities will be prohibited by law. Cardinal FERETTI, the newly-appointed Legate to Urbino, has received from the POPE instructions recommending him to calm down as much as possible the minds of the population, and to re-establish the respect due to the laws and auth'prities. The Cardinal is empowered to state that his HOLINESS is disposed to accord to the inhabitants all the liberty compatible with the public good, but that he would never suffer any infringement of the law. The Universal German Gazette states that a rail way is contemplated between Vienna and Cracow. It is intended to effect at Oderberg the junction of the Northern line and that of Lower Silesia, and to prolong the latter by Kosel to Mislowitz, on the fron tier of the ancient territory of Cracow. The Augsburg Gazette states that the new loan about to be contracted by the Austrian Government will amount to 40,000,000 florins, at an interest of five per cent. The Government proposes to issue the bonds at 108. According to the Observateur Rhenan the Austrian Government has decided on having a bridge of stone constructed over the principal arm of the Danube, like that of Pesth. This gigantic work is to be com menced in the spring. Madrid journals of the 11th have arrived. It is said that MON and PaoAi, are about to secede from the Ministry. ISTURITZ would willingly retain the services of.MON, but the Finance Minister re fuses to remain unless Pim', continues a member of the Cabinet . ; and as he is a MiniSter of whom all parties are aiixiouS to be rid, MoN goes with him. It -is generally supposed that CASTRO Y ORozco, the newly made Marquis of GERONA, will receive the the support of the Ministerial Deputies as candidate for the Presidency of the Chambers. The Chambers were still occupied in the transaction of merely for- mal business.

The annual ceremony of opening Parliament, and the delivery of the Speech from the Throne, are under the most ordinary circumstances matters which peculiarly arouse the attention of every intelligent mind in the empire. Even in the vague generalities enunciated by the SOVEREIGN on the inauguration of the sessional labours of the Legislature there are always materials sufficiently suggestive for serious reflection and definite anticipation. That the address uttered by her MAJESTY should constitute the very faintest indication of the intended policy of the Go vernment is what can alone be rationally expected. The suppression of everything like dictation to the hereditary and representative legislators, the avoidance of anything like a partiality for certain political creeds, the scrupulous and punc tilious restriction to those questions which are upper most in the popular mind, are invariably the prin cipal characteristics of the Speech from the Throne, and they are the only characteristics consonant with the fundamental principles of the Constitution. While, however, it is impossible to deny that the Speech from the Throne is marked by the most tan talizing indistinctness, as far as the, actual schemes of the. Administration are concerned, it is equally impossible to assert that it deals only in unsatisfactory common-places. A reference to the address delivered this day, in the House of Lords, by our Gracious SOVEREIGN, and pub lisped in another column, will be an ample refu tation of that very prevalent and very erroneous insinuation. It will be seen by that royal harangue, that without in any manner committing the Crown to this opinion or to that, to this measure or to that, to this particular policy or to that particular policy, the voice of the MONARCH may speak to the people that language of encouragement, and consolation, and promise, which such an emergency as the pre sent renders more than advisable. It will be seen by the expressions which have just proceeded from the lips of here MAJESTY, that the Sovereign may, with out exceeding the authority confided er - her Muir trious keeping, utter those words of sympathy, of assurance, and of earnest recommendation, which are so welcome to a suffering and expectant population. Considering the destitution experienced in the sister island, and the sterility of a soil which, with proper management, would prove generous and pro lific, it was but reasonable that her MAJESTY should advise the thorough investigation of the exigencies of Ireland, and the revision or re-organization of her agricultural system. It was but just that the patience of the unfortunate peasantry under their extraordi nary privations should elicit the approbation of the SOVEREIGN, and that, while scanning the position of so many millions of her MAJESTY'S subjects, her MAJESTY should demand from the Legislature a pro portionate assiduity and a proportionate calmness in striving to diminish the lamentable effects of those privations, and to render their recurrence impossible. In regard to the recent occurrences upon Conti nental Europe, whereby the most solemn treaties have been violated, the most sacred rights invaded, and the peace of the whole world endangered, it was alone to be expected that at least ene paragraph in the Speech from the Throne would be devoted to their consideration. It was but right that the mar riage of an Orleans Prince with a Spanish Princess, and the incorporation of the Cracovian re public with the Imperial territories of Austria, should command the observation of her MAJESTY as the chief of this great and predominant nation. The treaties of Utrecht and Vienna could not be violated with such flagrant contumely without drawing from one of the Governments most interested in their preservation the most emphatic and decisive protest. Still, the infusion of anything approximating to acerbity in the address formally delivered , by her MAJESTY to the Leghlative Houses of Great Britain would, to say the least of it, have been most injudicious. Under every circumstance of a similar character, it becomes the sacred duty of the SOVEREIGN to speak in those tones of moderation which are most suitable for the main- tenance of the royal dignity, and best calculated to insure some rational and pacific settlementof affair In this particular, the Speech from the Throne will assuredly be found to have justified the anticipations of all sticklers for the sanctity of treaties and of all lovers of peace. When the odious restrictions still remaining upon . the iinp;ortation of food are remembered, and when, Moreover, the imminence of the exislifig dearth is taken into account, it Cannot be any matter for astonishment that theguardians of the , national; welfare should endeavour to sweep away such veii4 removable difficulties. Upon . this point her MAJEST-Y1 does not enter into details, it is true, hut her MA ; JESTY'S address gives, we doubt not, more than an intimation of the salutary intentions of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. That • the unnecessary and extravagant consumption of barley in the pro cesses of brewing and distillation should be prevented by tle substitution of molasses and sugar ; that the navigation laws, which at present exclude from our markets many cargoes of Moderately-priced and nu: tritious provisions, should be temporarily modified to meet the wants of the existing scarcity ; and, above all, that the British ports shoUld be immediately opened for the reception . of grain from all qugters of the globe—are the most ostensible means for the amelioration of popular disOess andthe prevention of national famine.' That there are perils 'of this de scription' impending' over Peland, the Government itself has virtually asserted • by transmitting food and money to her inhabitant.; by preposing enormous loans to her landowners, by changing a large number of war-steamers into' commissariat vessels for the victualling of the whole island. There must be some comPeniationfor these generous endeavours on the part Of the Administrationthe ptople - must be remunerated for these disbursements of the Ex chequer; and that there will be sonic isuch corn -. pensation as we have expressed, is certain from the • declarations . of . her MAJESTY. As .the official manifesto of the Russill Cabinet, if not as a programme to the session, the Speech from the Throne must be regarded as most satis factory ; for; beiides the • questions relating to Ireland, to Cracow, to the Peninsula, and to the full and perfect - emancipation of commerce,. it is unquestionable : that Lord JOHN and his colleagues are: now Pedrd beypd - alrre- MIRTH AND MARVELS.

If any legislative attempt was made to im prove her condition, to elevate her social state, to educate the masses, and prepare them for a better position, it was met with the most inveterate hostility by her own children, save of that party which it was supposed it would benefit. Every person who did not enrol himself in some of the factions by which the kingdom was disturbed was regarded as a common enemy, against whom every hand should be raised. " Those who are not with us are against us" was universally felt, and the man who agreed with either side in the majority of points, if he conscientiously differed on any, was regarded with greater suspicion and dislike than the thorough and unflinching op ponent. It was sufficient that a measure should emanate from one of opposite political sentiments to ensure its condemnation. It might bear the closest examination, nothing injurious might be detected in its provisions ; it might be calculated to remove an universally admitted evil, or to attain some great national object, but the- support of the other party was alone a fatal objection to its reception. Happily that feeling has been gradually subsiding ; a complete change has come over the scene within the last few months'; dire necessity has at length dissolved the pre judices and appeased the mutual animosities of all classes, and has led to the formation of what has been so long and so anxiously desired by the more moderate Irishmen of "an Irish party." Already more than seventy-five Peers and Members of. Parliament have given in their adhesion, and affixed their signatures, to the resolutions to associate together for the purpose of protecting and watching over Irish interests in the Imperial Legislature. Men hitherto the most opposed to each other are now, side by side, engaging them selves to co-operate on behalf of their common country, to fight her battles, to elevate her in the scale of nations, to make Ireland indeed what she ought to be. The sufferings of the country, the vast loss and heavy expenditure that has taken place, will not ,be without some good effect. Nothing - of less consequence or less threatening aspect could have led to this happy oblivion of former feuds. It is the great strength and power of the common enemy menacing a common ruin to all that alone could effect it. Sincerely do we hope that the union and friendship thus created will not be dissolved on the termination of the danger that called it into existence, but that the good effects that will be found to result therefrom will cement and bind together all in future, harmony and concord. The resolutions candidly confess the grievous error of which all parties have hitherto been guilty ; the subscribers acknowledge,their fault and its injurious consequences, and declare their firm determination no longer to be guilty of such conduct. They state "that they feel deeply convinced that their own divisions have been the leading causes of their own misfortunes, and by weakening their influence in the councils of the empire, have deprived them of their share of the general prosperity, and that it is by union alone that they can repair the evils that dissen sion has created, and they acknowledge that the first duty of every Irishmen is to devote his undivided effort to the interests of Ireland, and that neither politics, parties, nor personal prejudices should in fluence his mind in the discharge of such a duty." It is impossible not to augur favourably for a country whose leading and most influential ions are animated Ay such feelings, if the motives that have led to the formatitin — Orthe party be duly and properly -carried out, if there be- no attempt to abuse the great power that must be placed in the hands of a party so united, if it be not used for purposes other than those which have called it into existence, so as to lead to the formation of an opposing party; if it seek only that which is equitable and just, a full and perfect equality for their country, and do not aim at the possession of extraordinary advantages or privileges, they must succeed. They will possess gigantic strength—they must use that strength with caution and discrimina tion ; they must abstain from joint action on ques tions with which Ireland is wholly unconnected ; they must not seek as a body to advance party interests or party questions, to sustain or pull down a Ministry, to elevate or depress any particular class, or the professors of any pe particular creed, but mus t con fi ne themselves to such questions as apply exc l us i ve l y t o I re l an d, and are calculated to raise th e soc i a l, ma t er i a l, an d mora l expressed resolution respecting n Reprtheo d co u n e d ti i v ti e on co o m f mhietrtepeeoin l their as Irish party. Let them co-operate together to obtain a perfect equality in every solid benefit, every im perial advantage, and every British right ; but there let them pause. So far they can act with propriety, with justice —so far will their efforts be respected, and their exertions approved o f by every right thinking man, but when they pass that boundary, when they seek anything further, • l they will bring hostile combinations into existence, and their own power and efficiency will be taken away and wholly destroyed. We do not, however, fear any such] attempt by the Irish party. The conflicting.: nature of its elements, the differences of religion and politics that exist among its members— the holy cause for which they have given up, or at least suspended their several prejudices, forbid the supposition that they will apply their union to any improper purpose. We repose unbounded confidence in their honour and integrity. We wish them full success in the objects for which they are associated, and fervently pray that Ireland, happy and pros perous, may long have cause to laud and bless those who gave up their own differences for the welfare s. and advantage of their fatherland. " Pl agn e, pestilence, 'and famine"—such are the in flictions from which we : pray to be delivered. It would be more appropriate, perhaps, to locate them thus— Famine, plague, and pestilence, inasmuch as the last two generally follow in the train or the first. But although plague anl pestilence are always consequences of famine, o f plague and pestilence. Filth is as •itby no means follows t hat famine should invariably the antecedent potent a generator of di sease as famine ; arid , therefore, it behoves us to guard ag ainst filth. One of the most prolific sources of filth, a nd conse q uentl y p f dise ase , is mthaettearc,mainnduinaotitohninginso tends~large masses of pntrid an i mal to produce a magazine of pestilence as the holding of lar g e cattle ma r kets and the slaughtering of animals in large towns. pf all l arge cattle markets, the , market of Smithfield is,the largest, and as all cattle markets in towns are great puisances, it is, of conseque n ce, of all exist ing nuisancesqhe greatest The committee of the HOUSO of Commons appointed to consider the state of the Smithfield markLt"reported, " That the passing of lire stock to and froM Smithfield is a nuisance to the inhabitants tg the nchlibciurhood and to the public at large, and that the present size and arrangement of the market does not afford sufficient ac commodation, are propositions w hich your committee are prepared to maintain; and t h at the site of a live stock market in a thickly - inh abited p art of the ' metro polls, is highly objectionable, your Committee: cannot reasonably doubt." As a pro o f , f th e highly objectionable nature o f a live stock c a ttl e mar k e t in a thickly inhabited part of the metropoli s , we need only refer to 'the weekly record of acci dents, not 'infrequently attended 'vith loss ,of life, which occur in the metropolis, from the onslaught upon passengers of bullocks, goaded to a state of 'madness by the cruelty with which they have been treated, and by the terror which they have suffered in thPir progress to and - from this market, situated in the centre of the me tropolis. Thole over-driven and fevered beasts are taken from the market to slatighter-houses, situated in dense ly - populated districts, slaughtered: there while in a state of fever, in places where blood and ani mal offal, in a state of nutrescence are ;allowed to accumulate, and in these magazines Of peOtilence the carcasses of the slaughtered beasts hang for t. o or` three days, imbibing all sorts of noxious gases beft;re they are , exposed on the shambles of the butcher for sale; and this is the case with the best and most costly meat --the meat which is furnished to the tables of the rich and luxurious. This is not a thing done in a corner—it is open, The Chamber- of Peers assembled on Saturday in Committee, to hear the draft of the Address read. It is of course an echo of the Speech from the Throne. The debate in the Chamber was to be opened on Monday, by the Due DE BRCOLIE, who will; :it is said, discuss the question of the application of the Treaty of Utrecht to the Montpensier marriage. M. GutzoT is not expected to speak until Tuesday. A courier extraordinary arrived in Paris on Satur day from London, with dispatches for the Marquis of NORMANBY. According to the Courrier Francais, "It is said, amongst those dispatches was a fresh note from Lord Palmerston, relating specially to the docu ments presented to the Chambers and to the manner of their publication. This note is shortly t 3 be communi cated to M. Guizot. On the other hand we are assured chat, in order to restore the cordial understanding, a great personage enjoying the confidence of the Ministry is to proceed in a few days to London, to propose a treaty of commerce to the British Cabinet." The fool riots continue to prevail to an alarming extent in the provinces. The Moniteur announces " Troubles of a very grave nature have broken out in the department of the Indre. Several carts of grain were seized on the night of the 13th, in passing through Cha teauroux, between D - Arroux and Buzanceais. The rioters .sent the corn to BuzanceMs, and forced the holders to sell it at a low price. The crowd of rioters increased during the night, and during the 14th the disorder as sumed a more decided character of violence. Five or six houses have been pillaged, and one of the proprietors having attempted to resist, was killed. The Prefect of the Indre went immediately to the spot with the Procu7 reur du Roi, but not having a sufficient force at his dis posal, he immediately applied to the Government, which ordered reinforcements to be sect, in order to re-establish_ order and insure an exemplary repression." The following is. the description of the state and prospects of the cdnntry " We will by no means attempt," says the _Debuts, "to deny the rude Shock to which the material fortunes of France are at the present moment exposed, and wee have not to defend ourselves from the charge of having remained indifferentlo them. Fevvyears have been. e.s severely ;affected, as 1846 ; inundations, penury of 'pro visions, political embarrassments, all have weighed upon. it. And yet, notwithstanding alt these complications, it is consoling to see how plentiful are the resources which the country possesses within itself. Even ,if we should on this occasion be . taxed with optimism, we will not hesitate to declare that the foundation s; of its prosperity are - not assailed in a manner that will leave any profound "or durable traces, since the move ment of affairs, the activity of transactions, and the amount of public consumption, in place of being dimi nished in this same year, have made a progress not infe rioito that which was remarked in previous years. This is the result to be drawn from the table of the public: revenue given by the Moniteur.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, It is with the deepest concern that, upon your again assembling, I have to call your attention to the dearth of provisions which prevails in Ireland and in parts of Scotland. In Ireland, especially, the loss of the usual food of the people has been the cause of severe sufferings of disease, and of greatly increased mortality among the poorer classes. Outrages have become more Frequent, chiefly directed against property ; and ;he transit of provisions has been rendered unsafe in some parts of the country. With a view to mitigate these evils, very large numbers of men have been employed, and have received wages, in pursuance of an Act passed in the last session of Parliament. Some deviations from 'hat Act, which have been authorised by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in order to promote more Useful employment, will, I trust, receive your sane ion. Means have been taken to lessen the pressure of want in districts which are most remote from the ordinary sources of supply. Outrages have been repressed, as far as it was possible, by the military and police. It is satisfactory to me to oil serve that in many of the most distressed districts the patience and resignation of the people hay e been most exemplary. The deficiency of the harvest fai France and Germany, and other parts of Europe, has added to he difficulty of obtaining adequate s {applies of pro visions. It will be your duty to considee what further measures are required to alleviate th 4, existing dis ,ress. rrecommend to you to take in o your serious consideration, whether by increasing for a limited period, the facilities for importing; corn from foreign countries, and by the admission of sugar more freely into breweries and c 1 istilleries, the supply of food mny be beneficially at igmented. I have likewise to direct your earnest cons deration to the permanent condition of Ireland. You will perceive, in the absence of 'pojiti:.al excitement, an opportunity for taking a dispassion ate survey of the social evils which afflict that part of the United Kingdom. Various measures will the laid before you, which, if adopted by Parliament, may tend to raise the great mass of the people in oomfort, to pro mote agriculture, and to lessen the p ressure of tha; competition for the occnpation of la nd which has been the fruitful source of crime and u fisery. Spain to the Duke of MOntpensier has given rise to a PianCe and Spain.. The marriage of the Infanta Luhia Fernando, of correspondence between my Governmttnt and those of The extinction of the Free State, of Cracow has appeared to me to be so manifest a v iolation of the Treaty of Vienna, that I have comtnanded that a protest against that act should be de livered to the Courts of Vienna, Petersburgh, and Berlin, which were parties to it. Copies of these sevo ral papers will be laid before you. I entertain confident hopes that tie hostilities in the River Plate, which have so long int errupted corn- merce, may soon be terminated; and my efforts, in conjunction with those of the .King (If the French, will be earnestly directed to that end. My relations generally with Foreign Powers inspire me with the fullest confidence in the mainte- nance of peace. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF CODIMO►NS, I have directed the Estithates to be' Prepared, with. a view to provide for the efficiency of the public service, with a due regard for economy.

It is 'my- hope that the enforcement of civil rights in 'all parts of the country to which the Act relates may, by this measure, be materially facilitated. I recommend to your attention measures which will be laid before you for improving the health of towns, an object the import Ince of which you will not fail to appreciate. • Deeply sensible of the blessings v season of calamity, have been so often after. a ;vouchsafed to this nation by a superintending Provide, Lee, I confide these important matters to your . care, i a full con- viction that your discussions will be ;uided by an impartial spirit; and in the hope tha sufferings of my people may be lighter their future condition may be impro, the presen Led, and tha , ed by your yn of' Govern- Poinf, so as to . determined to of defence, in proposed new be erected at ge under Looe e to Plymouth ly. - a/ mouth deliberative wisdom.
