LONDON, JANUARY 80, 1851.
The session of Parliament will commence on
Tuesday next II will be opened by the QUEEN in
person. The address in reply to the speech will
be moved in the Commons by the Marquis of Kill
DARE, eldest son Of the Duke of LENsTER, and
member Of Parliament for the county of Kildare;
and seconded by Mr.. PETo, member of Parlia-
ment for Norwich. We do not hear that any
amendment will be moved by the opponents Of the
administration. There will be good deal of speech
making about the Papa aggressions Ministers, it
is supposed by some, will propose some very strin-
gent measures, such as making penal for any one
to assume title denotng either secular eccesi-
astlcal jurisdiction in any part Of her Majesty's do
minions; forbidding the establishment of religious
associations under the names of monasteries, nun
nerles, &C., and prohibiting the residence of any
member of the order of Jesuits in Great Britain.
Others say that the proceedings proposed by Minis
tiers will be of very milk-and-water description,
unpaatabe from their insipidity to Protestants but
at the same time dstastefu to Catholics. Indeed,
leading morning paper has lately asserted that the
QUEEN is highly dissatisfied with the paragraph Of
the speech, as drawn up by Ministers, relative to
these Papal aggressions; considering it lukewarm,
and framed in such ambiguous terms as might be
employed to shuttle through difficulty instead of
expressing the honest feelings of Sovereign and
the indignation of Government insulted in their
dignity and authority. Meetings continue to be
held in the provinces upon this subject and the
daily papers give columns Of reports, resolutions
and speeches.
great difficulty with the Chancellor of the
Exchequer will arise, not from deficiency of
revenue, but from the many claims which will be
made upon him respecting the disposal of the sur
