It would be frivolous and even un gracious to deny that in all esscntial respects the opening of the Parliament for the session of 1847 is eotisolatory and propitious. " Union is strength" is a maxim that has stood the :est of ages, ani has acquired additional force with its antiquity. A sound moral truth was conveyed in the fable of "the bundle of sticks," and every day affords us examples of the injurious effects of con- roversy and disputes. Ireland has long exhibited he sad effects of internal dissensions and mutual dis rusts. 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 he without some good effect. Nothing ofless 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 unioiNli friendship thus created will not be dissolved oriredripination of the danger that called it into existeriei4iiit: that the goo4,effe4 s , that will be found to reliirlAithe'refronwill cement and bind together all in futtWbarinony and concord. The resolutions candidlyconfess the grievous error of which all parties haW, - liitherto 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 deepli'.-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 qas 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 tiersonal 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 mist influential sons are animated by such feelings, if the motives that have led to the formation of the party be duly and properly carried out, if there be no attempt to abuse the great power that must be placed iti`the hands of a party so united, if it be not used for pirlioses 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 j ust, 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 particular creed, but must confine themselves to such questions as apply excluSively to Ireland, and are calculated to raise the social, material, and moral condition of her people, as expressed by the Repro. ductive Committee in their resolution respecting the 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 epffrtsasosthabte boundary, istence, an d t h e i r own b t y hey eve l r y y ill right inking their exertions approveeudyrthofer, Ilrbye do o e Irish p ar t y .

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 and advantage of their fatherland. " Plague, pestilence, and famine"—such are the in flictions from which we pray to bo delivered. It would be more appropriate, perhaps, to locate them th us — Famine, plague, and pestilence, irasmuch as the last two generally follow in the train of the first. But although plague and pestilence are always consequences of famine, pestilence. Filth is as it by no means follows that famin e should be inv ariably the antecedent of plague and potent a generator of disease as fam ine ; and, therefor e , it behoves us to guard against filth. One of the mos t prolific sources of filth, and conseq uentl y of disease, i s the accumulation in large mass es of putrid animal matter, and nothing so tends to produce a magazine of pestilence as the holding of large cattle markets and th e slaughtering of animals in large towns. Of all large cattle markets, the market of Smithfield is the largest, and as all cattle markets in towns are great nuisances, it is, of consequence, of all existing nuisances the greatest The committee of the House of Commons appointed to consider the state of the Smithfield market reported, " That the passing of live stock to and from Smithfield is a nuisance to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood and to the public at large, and that the present size and arrangement of the market does not afford sufficient ac• commodation, are propositions which your committee are prepared to maintain; and that the site of a live stock market in a thickly-inhabited part of the metro polis, is highly objectionable, your Committee cannot reasonably doubt." As a pr oo f of the highly objectionabl e nature of a live stock cattle market in a thickly inhabited part of the metropolis, we nee d only refer to the weekly record of accidents, not unfrequently attended with 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 their progress to and from this market, situated in the centre of the me tropolis. Th ese over-dr i ven an d f evere d beasts are taken from the mar k e t to slaughter-houses , s ituated in dense ly -populated di s t r i cts, s l aug h tere d there while in a state of fever, in places where blood and ani mal offal, i n a s t ate of putrescence are allowed t o accumulate, and in these magazines of pestilence the carcasses of the sl aug h tere d b easts h a ng for two or thr ee days,imbibing all sorts of noxious gases before they are exposed on the shambl es o f t h e b u t c her for sale; and thi s is t!ie case with the best and most costly meat—the meat whrh is furnished to th e ta bl es o f t h e rich and lu x uri ous . This is not a thing done in a corner—it is open, pal pable—all who run may see. The retail butchers of the metropolis purchase the greater portion of the runt, which they sell, from the carcase butchers of Whitechapel; - These carcase butchers slaughter the beasts in their pre mises, and in Whitechapel the streams of blood and filth unite in a common channel, which runs exposed to public view in the street immediately in front of the meat stalls, At any time of year the sight and stench of this polluted stream is most disgusting, but in warm weather it is not only a source of annoyance, but of pestilential disease- 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 - sulfa-eel:to lie" held—in no other metropolis are slaughter-houses tole rated. In Paris the cattle market is held extra urbem. In Paris the Abattoirs, or slaughter-hou - tes, are fitted up at some distance from the city, and there is no instance an 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 Market and Abattoir Company) 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 an incitement to them to persevere, we may mention the fact, 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 raFornmending him to calm down as much as possible the minds of the population, and to re-establish the respect due to the laws and authorities. • 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 penced in the spring. Madrid journals of the 11th have arrived. It is said that MON and PIDAL are about to seceda from the Ministry. ISTURITZ would willinglyretain the services of Mos, but the - Pinance Minister fuses to remain unless PIDAL continues a 'member of the Cabinet; and as he is a Minister of whorn , all: partieS are anxious to be rid,,Moic gOes_ with him'. It is generally supposed that CASTRO' it Oitcsi.cd, 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 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 Duc DE BROGLIE, who will, it is said, discuss the question of the application of the Treaty of Utrecht to the Montpensier marriage. M. GUIZOT is not expected to speak until Tuesday. A courier extraordinary arrived in Paris• on Satur day from London, with dispatches for the Marquis of NORMA/181. 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 to be communi cated to M. Guizot. On the other hand we are assured :uat, 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 food 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 Levroux and Buzanceais. The rioters sent the corn to Buzanceais, and forced the holders to ,ell 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 Procu reur du Roi, but not having a sufficient force at his dis posal, he immediately applied to the Government, which ordered reinforcements to be sent, in order to re-establish order and insure an exemplary repression." . - - The following is the description of the state and prospects of the country : - " WN) 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 we have not to defend ourselves from the charge of having remained indifferent to them. Few years have been sa severely affected as 1846 ; inundations, penury of pro visions, political embarrassments, all have weighed upon it. And yet, notwithstanding all 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 foundations 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 rior to 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. The general receipts of the imposts and indirect revenue for 1846 was 823,291,000 f., while that of 1845 was 803,902,000 f., which shows an increase of upwards of 19 millions in favour of 1846. The augmentation in 1845 over the previous year was only a little more than 15 millions, 30 that the advantage is still more in favour of 1846. It is remarkable that the greater portion of the incrsase is during the last three months, which it might have been supposed would have most seriously affected the market. The first nine months gave an excess of 13,183,000 f., while the last three gave an excess of 6,206,0001:" The Bank of Rouen, following the example of the Bank of France, has raised the rate of discount 5 per cent.

MADAME Blsnor.—During the past week, this far-famed cantatrice has •been fulfilling engagements at Leamington and at Birmingham. At Leamington " all the leading members of the fashionable circles," says the Lea mington Courier, " were present at her concert, and her re ception was most enthusiastic." At Birmingham she created quite a furore, by her exquisitely:pathetic rendering of Burns's beautiful ballad, " John Anderstm my Jo." Speaking a the manner in which this, the chef d'ucevre of Burns, was given by Madame Bishop, the musical critic of the Birni it l ngiiai is rn Joual says, " It is scarcely neces sary to say tha t t not reasonable to expect that a vocalist s proficient olof in the florid ornaments of the Donizetti school music, can do justice to the simple and . unadorned . bal lads to which Burns loved to wed hismatchiess poetry.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, f'. - It is with the deepest concern that, upon your assembling, I haye to _gall your attention to idearth of provisions which prevails in Ireland in parts of Scotland. In Ireland, especially, the loss of the usual food d• the people has been the cause of severe sufferings, pf idisease, and of greatly increased mortality among he poorer :classes. Outrages have become more frequent, chiefly directed against property ; and 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 East session of Parliament. Some deviations from hat Act, which have been authorised by the Lord Aeutenant 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 observe that in many of the most distressed districts the patience and resignation of the people have been mos exemplary. The deficiency of the harvest in France and Germany, and other parts of Europe, has added to the difficulty of obtaining adequate supplies of pro visions. It will be your duty to consider what further measures are required to alleviate the existing dis tress. I recommend to you to take into 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 distilleries, the supply, of food may be beneficially augmented. = ' • I haye likewise to direct your earnest consi deration to the permau'ent cOndition of Ireland. .Tou will perceive, in'the Abience, of political' excitement,, an opportiinitY for taking a dispassionate_ smpy,, of tbp.,A941i4,1,,0vi1s which afflict that part of the-United Kingdom. Various. Aieasures will be laid before you, which, if adopted by Parliament," may tend to raise the great mass of the people in comfort, to pro mote agriculture, and to lessen the pressure of tha competition for the occupation of land which has been the fruitful source of crime and misery. The marriage of the Infanta Luisa Fernanda of Spain to the Duke of Montpensier has given rise to a correspondence between my Government and those o; France and Spain. The extinction of the Free State of Cracow his appeared to me to be so manifest a violation of the Treaty of Vienna, that I have commanded that a protest against that act should be delivered to the Courts of Vienna, Petersburgh, and Berlin, which were parties to it. Copies of these several papers wi be laid before you. I entertain confident hopes that the hostilities in the River Plate, which have so long interrupted com merce, may soon be terminated ; and my efforts, in conjunction with those of the King of 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 COMMONS, I have directed the Estimates to be prepared with a view to provide for the efficiency of the public service, with a due regard for economy. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I have ordered every requisite preparation to be made for putting into operation the Act of the last session of Parliament, for the establishment of local courts for the recovery of small debts. 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 importance of which you will not fail to appreciate. Deeply sensible of the blessings which, after a season of calamity, have been so often vouchsafed to this nation by a superintending Providence, I confide these important matters to your care, in a full con viction that your discussions will be guided by an impartial spirit; and in the hope that the present sufferings of my people may be lightened, and that their future condition may be improved by your deliberative wisdom.

Orders received by all Newspaper Agents, and at THE THEW EDITION Sun-office, 113, Strand I 4 bittliANS LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1847. 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 SOVEREI6N 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 tilioui-xestriction tntliose 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• lished 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 her MAJESTY, that the Sovereign may, with out exceeding the authority confided to her illus 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 prope,r zpanagernerit, would'fifove generous and pro. He, it wash hut i reasonable that her IV4JESTY 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 undet 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 one 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 Legislative 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 settlement of affairs. 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 importation of food are remembered, and when, moreover, the imminence of the existing dearth is taken into account, it cannot be any matter for astonishment that the guardians of the national welfare should endeavour to sweep away such very removable difficulties. Upon this point her MAJESTY does not enter into details, it is true, but 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 the 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 quarters of the globe —are the most ostensible means for the amelioration of popular distress and the prevention of national famine. That there are perils of this de scription impending over Ireland, the Government itself has virtually asserted by transmitting food and money to her inhabitants, by proposing 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 compensation for these generous endeavours on the part of the Administration—the people must be remunerated for these disbursements of the Ex chequer; and that there will be some such com pensation as we have expressed, is certain from the declarations of her MAJESTY. As the official manifesto of the Russell Cabinet, if not as a programme to the session, the Speech from the Throne must be regarded as most satis factory ; for, besides the questions relating to Ireland, to Cracow, to the Peninsula, and to the full and perfect emancipation of commerce, it is unquestionable that Lord Joan and his colleagues are now pledged beyond all re- • • - LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(TiIs DAY.)
