THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 25, 1860.

The parliamentary session of 1860 began last
evening in both Houses with a manifestation of ex-
traordinary courtesy towards each other, on the
part both of the Opposition and of the Government.
Foilswere crossed by the leaders in Lords and Com-
mons—but the buttons were on throughout. Be-
tween those most " cunning of fence," the whole was
in fact, nothing more than a display of graceful
dexterity in the delivery and the reception upon
either side of the opponent's weapon—the glittering,
hither and thither, of that preliminary carte and
tierce of debate, mere - Ministerial and ex-official
compliment. There are those doubtless who will
put their own construction upon the airy taunts
and rhetorical badinage with which the leaders of
the most formidable Opposition that has for years
confronted any Administration, intimated in both
Rouses last evening their determination in no way
to Interfere with the ready passing of the Address
in answer to the Speech from the Throne by the
adoption of any form of amendment. It may not un-
naturally be conjectured that this spontaneous and
almost, we might nay, ostentatious suavity " means
, mischief "—not a jot less than lifiching Malecho.
However this may be-and the Hansard of 1860
will alone be enabled to solve the problem in its
completeness, somewhere about the next season for
grouse shooting—the motion was agreed to by the
unanimous voice of the assembled Peers and Com.

mons—the Committee, in each instance, was at once
nominated to draw up the address to the Crown, in
answer to her MAJESTY'S gracious Speech to the
Legislature—and the first sitting of Parliament
was over in, both houses at an hour that must have
satisfied the most punctilious wish even of the late
.Mr. BROTHERTON•

As we intimated yesterday, there were reasons
enow why the present Parliamentary session should
be inaugarated with a general sense of satisfaction.
