The attention of the public is earnestly drawn to the
suffering consequent on the terrible calamity produced by
the recent colliery explosions.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are greatly needed to relieve the
numerous families made destitute thereby.
The amount required to meet the memorable Hartley
Colliery Accident in 1862 was £50,000 ; in that case 204
men and boys lost their lives ; in the present instance
double that number are known to have perished, there-
fore to make a suitable provision for the families depen-
dent upon thorn about £lOO,OOO will be needed. At the
final distribution of the surplus of the Hartley Fund,
£3,140 was allotted to the districts in which the present
accidents occurred, and this sum is now available towards
the fund now being raised.

porting the most important acts concerning inter-
national relations, will be laid before you in due
course. At home, security and peace have been
preserved unaltered ; a happy consequence of the
conviction among the people of the advantage re-
sulting from the general tranquillity, and of the
daily increasing influence exercised by the public
mind in the progress and life of the nation. Civil
administration and public instruction among a free

people vary in their different branches, but are
identical in the general system which should control
them—the spirit of liberty, the direct co-operation
of the nation in the development of the country's
resources, and in the public administration and the
culture of intelligence in all its aptitudes. The
general reform in these matters which will be sub-
mitted to you by my Government embraces the
various branches of the civil administration and
public instruction, and is modelled
.upon these
ideas. The obstacles opposing the immediate execu-
tion of the law of the 6th June, 1861, have been
removed, and the result obtained corresponds to
the expectations of the Government, and has pro-
moted the interests held in view in framing the
law. The visit to all the administrative districts
of the kingdom enjoined upon the civil governors,
the inspection of the schools of primary instruction,
and the spontaneous co-operation of the nation
in all that can generalise the instruction of the
people, are important facts which you will be able
to appreciate upon examining the documents which
will be laid before you. Difficulties of execution
which always precede a new organisation of the
public service, particularly in a branch which
requires the services of a numerous staff, have pre-
vented the definitive installation of the land
registries. I hope, however, that in a very short
time the country will be in the enjoyment of the
benefits secured by the law of the Ist of July,
1863. My Government will submit to your exami-
nation the project for a penal code and bills for the
reform of the prison system, the organisation of
the public Ministry, the endowment of the clergy,
and upon other matters of equal public interest.
By virtue of the authority conferred by the law of
27th July, 1855, and 19th June, 1866, the Govern-
ment called out for effective service the reserve of
the army, and opened two extraordinary credits
with the Minister of Finance for the purchase of
armaments, equipments, and war material to the
amount of 600,000,000 reis. The reserve was
again disbanded by decree of the 21st November
last. My Government will account to you for the
manner in which their authority was employed, and
you will be enabled to estimate the grounds for
the measures which they considered it advisable to
adopt. I direct your attention, however, to the
organisation of the army, which needs reform. To
give it a better constitution, to facilitate the
development of its strength, and to make these ob-
jects compatible with the severest economy and the
general interests of the people will form the
subject of special propositions which the Ministry
will lay before you. Other bills will be submitted
relative to the penal military code, the disciplinary
code, and the laws of process and jurisdiction ; and
you will give these matters all the attention re-
quired by their great importance. The state of the ,
public finances demands your most serious atten-
tion, and I recommend it to your solicitude. My
Finance Minister will lay before you a statement of
the general receipts and expenditure of the State. ,
Various bills will also he submitted to you with the
object of sustaining public credit, continuing moral
and material improvements throughout the country, ;
and diminishing the charges upon the public trea-
sury. I trust that you will discuss these important
matters guided by your enlightened patriotism, and ,
I rely entirely upon the concurree cc of the legisla-
tive body to carry out the reforms required. in this
important branch of the State administration. ,
Important measures have been decreed relative to ,
the colonies by virtue of the powers conferred upon
the Government by law. These will call for your
enlightened examination. The question of free

The Cortes was opened to-clay by the King in
person. The text of his Majesty's speech from the
throne, of which a telegraphic summary has already
been forwarded, is as follows :--
"Honourable Peers and Deputies of the Portu-
guese nation—l come to-day to open a new period
of your parliamentary labours. I always feel great
pleasure in being among you to fulfil the prescrip-
tions of the political institutions which happily
govern the country. To them the nation owes the
prosperity whiCh the national alliance of the prin-
ciples of progress, liberty, and order produces among
a people who know how to adopt them with security
and to generalise them liberally. As repre-
sentatives of the country you are called to
watch over the guardianship and the fulfilment of
the Constitution, and to take that part in the orga-
nisation of the laws which belongs to you as one of
the great powers of the State. You will discharge
this difficult and important mission, examining the
acts of my Government, and studying the reforms
and improvements urgently required for the public
good. The war which appeared imminent at the
close of the last legislative session broke out soon
afterwards between Italy and Prussia on the one
side, and Austria and various German States on the
other. Portugal maintained the rigorous neutrality
counselled by the national interests, preserving with
all the Powers during the war, as she now pre-
serves, peace being concluded, relations of sincere
and unalterable friendship. A few days ago I had
the satisfaction of receiving the visit of her Majesty
the Queen of Spain, accompanied by his Majesty
the King, and their Royal Highnesses the Prince of
the Asturias and the Infanta Donna Isabella. The
presence of these august guests afforded me the
highest gratification. .In the reciprocal manifesta-
tions exchanged on this auspicious event I am pleased
to see a testimony of the cordial esteem which hap-
pily subsists between, the two Crowns, and the ten-
dency which, while' strengthening the friendship
between two nations, kindred from their historical
origin and the glory of their traditions, respects
nationalities consolidated by ages, and encourages
the development of the ample resources which Pro-
vidence has bestowed upon the peninsula. My Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs will lay before you the
settlement of two interesting matters _.that were
pending between Portugal and the Holy See. I
refer to the extension of the ecclesiastical jurisdic-
tion conferred on the archbishopric of Goa by virtue
of the concordat upon the rights of my royal
patronage in the East, and the question re-
lative to the mission recently sent to Congo.
The satisfactory result of these negotiations
gives reason to hope that the same con-
ciliatory spirit will prevail in the settlement
of other difficulties, thus re-establishing the
definitive and complete exercise of my patron-
age in the regions of Asia and Africa subject
thereto. An important treaty of commerce and
navigation has been concluded between my Go-
vernment and his Majesty the Emperor of the
French, inaugurating the commercial policy which
we are bound to_follow in the sense of discreet and
progressive liberty, and opening up a larger market
to our productions while we facilitate importation
to foreign. commerce. I entertain the' hope that
other treaties of a similar character will be submitted
to you during the present session. Conventions
with France respecting consular powers and prero-
gatives, and with France and Belgium for recipro-
cally guaranteeing literary and artistic copyright,
will be equally submitted for parliamentary ex-
amination. The boundary and transit treaties be-
tween Portugal and Spain have .been ratified, as
also the appendices to the former, establishing con-
venient regulations for the execution of some of its
prescriptions. The necessary bills for ameliorating
the foreign service in its various branches, and re-

pies the attention of my Government. With this
question is bound up in great measure the moral,
commercial, and economical development of those
possessions, which I hope will become one of the
most important sources of the public wealth. Bills
will be introduced for ameliorating the condition of
the colonies and of our marine ; to generalise rapidly
the network of roads upon a system which shall
afford all possible facility for ordinary travelling ; to
continue the development of acccelerated communi-
cation by completing the general railway system of
the country ; to formularise in laws the general
principles of the constitution of joint-stock and
banking companies ; to devclope credit in localities
by creating a convenient representation for all secu-
rities by means of appropriate banking institutions,
which will carry out the intention of the law of
22d June, 1866 ; to organise a system of sav-
ings banks and establishments of popular credit ;
to give to rural industry the proper impulse
due from the admininistration ; to create resources
fq draining the marshes and utilising the rich lands
at present lost to agriculture. Such is the general
scheme of the proposals that will be laid before you
by the Minister of Public Works. In the political
condition of the nation, with internal tranquillity
undisturbed and the public liberties constituting the
basis of Government, administrative perfection and
the profitable employment of the ample resources of
the country form the problem the solution of which
most interests the community. I confide it to your
devotion for your country's good. Enlightened ini-
tiative on the port of the Government, energy and
liberality in its action, efficacious concurrence by
the representatives of the country—these are the
conditions which will enable us to fulfil happily and
successfully the lofty mission that devolves upon
every State in the age of movement and progress
in which we live. The session is opened."
