LoyDoN, Feb. PARLIAMENT rc-assembled
to-day.
The ouee1's speech was as follows my
Lords and Gentlemen-It Ii is with mnch salts
faction that again invite your advice and as
sistancc in the conduct Of public affairs.
] have given my approval to the marriage
between Prince Leopold and the Princess
Helena of Waldeck. | have every reason TO
believe that this will be happy union.
continue in relations Of cordial harmony
with all the foreign powers. The treaty for the
ccssion Of Thessaiia to Greece has now been
executed in the main. The transfer Of sover-
eighty and occupation was effected III manner
honorable to all concerned. In concert with
the President Of the French Republic, have
given my careful attention to the affairs OF
Egypt, where the existing arrangements i'm
posed on me special obligations. / shall use
my influence to maintain the right already es-
tablished, whether by frmans Of Sultan or by
various international engagements, in spirit
favorable to the good government oi that
nation.
! have pleasure in informing you that the
restoration Of peace beyond the northwestern
frontiers Of India, together with the continued
internal tranquility, the plentiful seasons and
the increase Of revenue, has enabled my Gov
ernment in India TO resume the works OF
public utility which had been suspended, and
devote its attention TO measures for further
improvement Of the condition Of the people.
The Convention with Transvaal has been
ratified by representation in the Assembly,
and have seen no reason to qualify my an
ticipations Of It's advantageous working. l
have, however, to regret that although hostili-
ties have not been renewed in Basuto, the
country still remains in an unsettled condition.
Estimates for the service Of the year in South
Africa are in an advanced stage Of prepara-
tion and will be promptly submitted.
Nv communications with France on the sub
iect Of a new commercial treaty have not been
closed. They will still be prosecuted by me.
The trade Of the country, both domestic and
foreign, has for some time been improving,
the mildness Of the winter has been eminently
suited to farming operations, and better pros
poets are, trust, thus opened for the classes
Immediately concerned in agriculture. The
public revenue which is greatly, though not
always at once effected by the state Of indus
try and commerce, has not yet exhibited an
improved movement IN proportion 10 their
increased activity.
The condition Of ireland at this time as COM
pared with that which described at the be-
ginning Of last wear, shows signs of improve
mcnt and encourages the hope that perseverance
IN Tie course you hcve pursued, will be
rewarded with the happy results which are SO
much TO be desired. Justice has been admin
istered with greater efficacy; and the intimida-
ton which had been employed to deter the
occupiers Of land from the fulfilling of their
obligations aud from availing themselves of
the act Of last session shows, upon the whole,
diminished force. Ny efforts, through the
bounty Of Providence, have been favored by an
abundant harvest in that portion Of the King
dom. In addition TO the vigorous execution OF
the provisions of the ordinary law, have not
hesiiated, under the painful necessity of the
case, TO employ largely the exceptional powers
mtrusted to me for the protection Of life and
property, by the two acts Of last session.
You will be invited to deal with proposals
for the establishment in England and Welsh
counties of the local self-government, which
has so long been enjoyed by towns, together
with enlarged powers Of the administration,
end Of financial changes, which will give you
an opportunity Of considering, both as to the
towns and the counties, what may be the
proper extent and the most equitable and prov
dcut form Of contribution from the imperial
taxes in relief Of local charges. These propos-
ais, IN SO far as they are financial, will apply
to the whole Of Great Britain. 1t will be nee
cssary to reserve the case Of Ireland for sepa-
rate jurisdiction, in connection with the
general subject of local administration.
The Queen says she will again present the

other measures.
