THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
(HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH ANTICIPATED.)
My Lords and Gentlemen,—l'm much delighted
To meet you here, and find you so united.
I still receive, assurances of peace,
Nor are our tranquil prospects like to cease;
Some parts of Britain lately were in riot,
But these are now beginning to be quiet.
And then, again, on looking on our trade,
I'm sure we have no cause to be dismay'd.
A mark'd improvement we may dad), view
In every branch of trade and commerce, too.
This, it appears, from those who ought to know,
Is owing to the MOSES' famed Depot.
I've watched these men, arid am of the opinion,
That they're unrivall'd in my wide dominion.
M,ISES and SON deserve your thanks I'm sure,
For what they've done to benefit the poor.
If ev'ry tradesmen made the same endeavour,
My people would be better clad than ever.
And now 1 end my speech—yet ere it closes,
I'+l add a hint with ref'rence to the MOSES',
For favours which those gentlemen bestow,
I trust that yoo your gratitude will show,
By purchasing your clothes at Their Depot.

HANCOCK'S PATENT FLEXIBLE-BACK BRUSHES

No. 88, FLEET-STREET.
THEPublic are respectfully informed that the
.Warehouse for the Sale of the above PATENT
BRUSHES is now opened, where the various kinds applicable
to the patent may be obtained. Also, Wholesale, and for Ex-
portation. Hair Brushes, for their penetrating properties and
pleasing action, which are highly recommended, and allowed to
be a decided improvement. Clothes Brushes, for their flexibi-
lity and conformity to the shape in their use, as well as preserv-
ing the nap of the finest cloth. Horse Brushes (truly the
groom's friend) ; this brush stands unOvalled ; it is difficult
adequately to describe the advantages obtained by its flexibility
when in use. The Flesh, Shoe, Stove, and other Brushes,
possess great advantages over the oriinary stiff backs, for it
will be found that all brushes hitherti made wear out at the
extremities, leaving little of the midle worn, whereas the
I'atent Flexible-back Brushes wear alike throughout.

FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH.
MR. THOMAS'S SUCCEDANEUM,
Price 4s. 6d.
Patronised by her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
and her Reval Highness the Duchess of Kent.
This valuable SUCCEDANEUM for STOPPING DE-
CAYED TEETH, however large the cavity is far superior to
anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft
state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes
as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth ,fer
many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all
further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in
mastication.

Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Ber-
ners-street, Oxford-street. Price 4s. 6d., and will be sent
free by post to any part of the kingdom.
Mr. 'I homas continues to supply the loss of teeth without
springs or wires, and has introduced an entirely NEW DE-
SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will: be
found very superior to all ethers, as they will never decay, nor
,become discoloured, and their perfect resemblance to nature
defies detection even by the closest observer. This method
does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any
painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much
less than most Dentists. _ _

before extremely imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light,

removed, every object becomes clear and distinct, vision becomes
preserved and strengthened, and very aged people are enabled to
employ their sight at the most minute occupation, and can see with
those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor; will they re-
quire the frequent changes to further helps, as the Spectacles now
in common use, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes
bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and
original state; those objects being accomplished is a matter of much
deeper consequence than can be imagined.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SaTiNa OF JAN. 20.
SPEECH OF M. GUIZOT.

The President took the chair at half past one.
The business of the sitting commenced by a Report
of the Committee on the election of M. C. Laffitte for
Louviers.
M. Grandin opposed the admission of M. Laffitte,
on the ground that he had only been elected because
a bargain had been made between him and the electors
—he engaging, at his own risk and peril, to execute a
branch railroad from Louviers to the Rouen line;
and they, in return, engaging to return him as their
representative. This, he maintained, was a shameful
bargain.
M. C. Laffitte denied that any bargain of the kind
had been entered into; and that he should-not have
been attacked had he proposed making a line to
Elbeeuf, of which place the Hon. Member who had
just spoken was the Deputy.
A scene of considerable confusion took place here,
and continued for some time, various Members en-
deavouring to obtain a hearing. M. Janvier ascended
the tribune, and remained there for some time, appa-
rently speaking, but not making a word to be heard.
M. Laffitte declared his wish that an inquiry should
be instituted.

Another burst of confusion arose after this decla-
ration.
After some further observations from M. Dupin, in
favour of annulling the election, the question was put
to the vote, when an immense majority decided that
the election of- M. C. Laffitte should he annulled.
As soon as the tumult caused by this proceeding
had subsided,
Gentlemen,—The Honourable M. Billault said,
yesterday, in commencing his speech--" This is not
a question of Ministerial policy; it is a question of
national policy that I wish to discuss with you." I
do not admit this distinction ; it is the honour as well
as the duty of the Administration to manage the
affairs of the country ; the Ministerial policy should
ever be a national policy. The hope of succeeding in
making it such is the sole, honest, and legitimate at-
traction of power. Is our policy national, or is it not?
Such is the whole question. It is as being a national
one that we have adopted and pursued our policy ;
it is in this respect, and this respect only, that I de-
fend it. What I admit is the frankness of the Hon.
M. Billault's attacks, and the explicitness with which
his amendment states the question. The speech from
the Throne tells you, regarding the serious events that
have occurred in Spain and in Greece, that the sincere
friendship which unites the King of the French and the
Queen of Great Britain, and the cordial under-
standing (entente cordiale) that exists between the
two Governments, confirms his Majesty in
the hope that those events will turn to
the advantage of two nations friendly to France.
Your projected address proposes your saying that you
are happy to hear of such facts through the medium of
the Crown. The Hon. M. Billault wishes you to
strike out all expressions denoting that you are satisfied
with those facts, and with the cordial understanding
established between France and England. The Hon.
M. Billault will not admit such facts; he does not be-
lieve them. As for us, who, since the accession of the
Cabinet, have constantly aimed at restoring a cordial
understanding between France and England, we be-
lieve that we have made great progress towards the
accomplishment of that object, and that we have
almost attained it. A good understanding and good
intercourse do exist between the two countries. The
Hon. M. Billault himself acknowledged it. It is not
a special alliance with England on this or that point
that is in question, but a good understanding on the
general affairs of Europe, and particularly on those of
Greece and Spain. Two great questions have for
some years excited the attention of Europe ;
Spain and the East are the two theatres where-
upon France and England have of late been
in presence. What was the position of France
in Spain four years ago ? The de::eat, of the moderate
political party, the return of our ambassador to
France, and the retreat of Queen Christina; such are
the three facts which, in 1840, characterised the situ-
ation of France towards Spain. What is our situa-
tion now, in 1844 ? The moderate monarchic party
is now in power, the Ambassador of France is at his
post, and Queen Christina is recalled by Spain. Such
are the characteristic features of 1840 and 1844.
How have we passed from one of those situations to
the other? Firstly, in 1840, when the defect of our
situation exhibited itself, we assumed a quiet and
neutral attitude ; we sought not to triumph in Spain
by party struggles, and by creating difficulties

when there was occasion for it, such as at Madrid,
when M. de Salvandy was sent thither, and at Barce-
lona, when M. de Lesseps was subjected to attacks
and insults. But, in other respects, I repeat it, we
observed with the Regent's Government a perfectly
quiet attitude, without seeking to avail ourselves of
party struggles, which it is always easy to raise in
countries tormented with revolutions. When 'events
restored Spain to another and better situation,
what did we ? We did not revert to the rest of
parties—we did not seek to retaliate, by pushing
those who were called our friends—our only
friends—to power. No; after a neutral came an
impartial attitude. Events had brought about in
Spain a rapprochement between men completely di-
vided ; we hastened to promote its transformation
into a regular Government, the moment that an ac-
tive and influential position was restored to us by the
natural course of things. We have given striking
proof of this. IVe would not leave the slightest pre-
text to the accusations of party feeling. It was that
motive which induced us to advise the King not to
send back to Madrid M. de Salvandy. Ile had, dur-
ing his first stay in that capital, faithfully complied
with his instructions; it was not he who had raised
the question so much talked of ; it had been raised
against him. Whilst defending the monarchic interests
and honour of France, he had proposed adopting every
means of conciliation. Yet, he had judged correctly
of the prospects of the party which then governed
Spain, and events have justified him. Nevertheless,
when circumstances changed, I did not propose to
the King the sending back of that Honourable Am-
bassador, for I feared that his return would be taken
in Spain for a retaliation, for a song of triumph, and
that it would obstruct the march of the moderate
party. Such was the reason that I advised the King
to transfer him to the Turin Embassy. Our first
thought, then, was to see whether it were not pos-
sible to calm Spain. We addressed ourselves to the
English Cabinet—we appealed to its good faith and
political honesty.—(Murmurs on the Left.) Ido
not understand those murmurs. What ! shall not

I cannot enter here into questions of persons; I Do you fancy that to be in peace it suffices not to
