Business in the open money market continues
rather active, but as the available resources of ban-
kers and others have lately fallen off, 8 per cent, is
the general charge for the best descriptions of com-
mercial bills. There has, however, been a bettor
feeling engendered among capitalists, owing to the
continued influx of gold into the bank, the small
withdrawals, and the satisfactory movement that
has lately taken place in the Indian exchanges,

OPENING

OF

PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—This Day,
Parliament was opened this day by Royal Com-

The LOBD CHANCELLOR read
HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH.
MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
We are commanded to assure you that her Majesty
has great satisfaction in recurring again to the
advice and assistance of her Parliament.
Her Majesty is confident that you will share her
feeling of gratitude to Almighty God on account
of the Princess of Wales having given birth to a
son ; an event which has called forth from het
faithful people renewed demonstrations of devoted
loyalty and attachment to her person and family.
The state of affairs on the Continent of Europe
has been the cause of great anxiety to her Majesty.
The death of the late King of Denmark brought
into immediate application the stipulations of the
' Treaty of May, 1852, concluded by her Majesty,
the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French,
the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, the
King of Sweden, and afterwards acceded to by the
King of Hanover, the King of Saxony, the King of
Wurtemburg, the King of the Belgians, the King
of the Netherlands, the Queen of Spain, the King
of Portugal, and the King of Italy.
That treaty declared that it is conducive to the
preservation of the balance of power, and of the
peace of Europe, that the integrity of the Danish
monarchy should be maintained, and that the
several territories which have hitherto been under
the sway of the King of Denmark should continue
so to remain ; and for this purpose it was agreed
that upon the death of the late King and of his uncle
Prince Frederick without issue, his present Majesty
King Christian 11. should be acknowledged as suc-
ceeding to all the dominions then united under the
sceptre of his Majesty the King of Denmark,
Her Majesty, actuated by the same desire to
preserve the peace of Europe which was one of the
declared objects of all the Powers who were parties
to that Treaty, has been unremitting in her endea-
vours to bring about a peaceful settlement of the
differences which on this matter has arisen
between Germany and Denmark, and to ward off the
dangers which might follow from a beginning of
warfare in., the North of Europe; and her Ma-
jesty will continue her efforts in the interest of
peace.

The barbarous murders And cruel assaults com-
mitted in Japan upon subjects of her Majesty ren-
dered it necessary that demands should be made
upon the Japanese Government, and upon the
Daimio by whose retainers some of those outrages
were committed.
The Government of the Tycoon complied with
the demand made upon them by her Majesty's Go-
vernment, and full satisfaction having been made,
the friendly relations between the two Govern-
ments have continued unbroken. But the Daimio
Prince of Satzuma refused to comply with the just
and moderate demands which were made upon him.
His refusal rendered measures of coercion necet,
sary, and her Majesty regrets that while those
measures have brought this Daimio to an agree-
ment for compliance, they led incidentally to the
destruction of a considerable portion of the town of
Ka gosima.

Papers on the subject will be laid before you.
The insurrection which broke out last year among
some portion of the native inhabitants of New
Zealand still unfortunately continues, but there is
reason to hope that it will, before long, be put
down.

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that
she has concluded a Treaty with the Emperor of
Austria, the Emperor of the French, the King of
Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, by which her
Majesty consents to give up the Protectorate of the
lonian Islands, and also agrees to the annexation
of those Islands to the Kingdom of Greece.
This Treaty shall be laid before you. Her
Majesty is also negotiating a Treaty with
the King of the Hellenes for regulating
the arrangements connected with the union of the
lonian Islands with the kingdom of Greece:
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
Her Majesty has desired the Estimates for the
ensuing year to be laid before you. They have
been prepared with every attention to economy, and
with a due regard to the efficiency of the public

service.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that
the condition of the country is, on the whole, satis-
factory. The revenue has fully realised its expected
amount ; the commerce of the United Kingdom is
increasing; and while the distress in the manufac-
turing districts has been in some degree lessened,
there is reason to look forward to an increased
supply of cotton from various countries which have
hitherto but scantily furnished our manufacturers
with this material for their industry.
Her Majesty has directed that a Commission
shall be issued for the purpose of revising the
various forms of subscription and declaration re-
quired to be made by the clergy of the Established
Church.. A copy of that Commission will be laid
before you.
Various measures of public usefulness will be sub-
mitted for your consideration.
Her Majesty commits, with confidence, the great
interests of the country to your wisdom and care ;
and she fervently prays that the blessing of
Almighty God may attend your deliberations and
prosper your Councils for the advancement of the
welfare and happiness of her loyal and faithful
people.

CICERO'S DEATH.—It was in the sixty-fourth
year of his age, in the grounds of his own villa of
Formia3, near Gaeta, says a London Reviewer, that Cicero
was murdered by a band of soldierS, headed by the military
tribune Popiiius Lmnas—a man whom be had once be-
friended in a criminal trial. The head of Cicero was cut off
and brought to Mark Antony, who received it with inhuman
delight. It was exposed, with every mark of insult and
derision, upon the rostrum where his matchless eloquence
had often been heard.

THE YELVERTON CASE.—On Tuesday Major the
Hon,. William Charles YtAvcrton presented a peti-
tion, through his agents, Messrs. Tipp:3as and Sou, to the
House of Lords, and which was served the same day On
the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton's agent, stating that on the 10. h
of 1 ebruary, 1863, he submitted a petition of appeal to
their lordships' house, complaining of an interlocutor
pronounced by the first division of the Court of
Session in Scotland on the 19th December, 1862, in con-
joined actions of declarator of marriage at the respondent's
instance against the appellant, of putting to silence at the
instance of the appellant against her. That the respon-
dent duly entered an appearance on the above petition of
appeal, and lodged her answer on the 29th of June, 1863,
The petitioner on the said 29th day of June, 1863, lodged
his printed case with the clerk of the parliaments, and the
said petition of appeal was on the 30th of June, 1863, set
down for hearing before the House of Lords. The peti-
tioner goes on to state that the only question for the consi-
deration of their lordships upon this appeal was whether
the respondent was the lawful wife of the appellant. The
petitioner concludes by asking that their lordships will
be pleased to fix en early day for the hearing of the said
appeal.
