ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH MAIL.
Havirax, Febrorry 15, 1867.
The Royal Mail Steamship * China,â Capt. Mockley,
Arvived at Llailex-this morning, a ball past five o'clock.
She experienced most boisterous weather, the steering
wete almost carried away, and the man at ple
belin at the time somewhat injured. âThe ** Chinaâ had
wonsiderable freight for Malifix, after Innding which,
and taking on board the mails for the United States,
the steamed away for Boston.
We clip the following summary of the news from pa-
pers received, whic are to the 2u inst.

Canada, New Brunswick aud Nova Seotia, we pave

not only bave they arranged mivor difficulties an!

vision bas been made for enabling the Colonies of

terms bere. fier,
Iy is understood that an important decision concermng
re-organizaiion of the Austrian army bas just bees,
adopted ly the Government.
" The members of the neutrality commission, who will
be entrusted with the delicate duty of reporting upon
the Alabama claims, intend to commence theiÂą consulta-
tions soon after Parliament meets.

It is urged by some of the Paris writers for the Lon-
don press that the propoved inerease of the Frenelk
army and navy is not made with any aggressive disposi
tion on the part of the Geserumeut; bet, on. the con-
trary, that it iv merely @ preparation against a war
which may probably be thrust upon France,
It is said to be the opinion of political France that
the British Cabinet is in extremis; either it must bring
in a Reform Bill dnd dose all its old supporters, or de-
cline to do's0, and go-inta the Opposition lobby.
âSome of the sĂ©m'-official journals of Paris affirin
positively that no French lodn is in contemplation; but
it is reported that some financial measures of a bold
and, sweeping ehatacier will be introduced.
Another report concerning King Victor Emmanuel
has gained curtency in Paris. This time the rumor i
of the assassination of his Majeaty, but that he bas
fallen into a dangerous state of illcess from congestion
of the brain. The report is not coutirmed, and ite
truthfallness is suspected. It 1s, however, well known
that His Majesty has had two attacks of a similar na-
tare, and his medical uyen are said to be very anxious
lest he sliould saffer a recurrence of the malady.
âThe long list of reform demonstrations made since
Tories dnd Adullamites unwisely rejected the moderate
ort of the late Government, is being rapidly ex-
tended, now that Parliainent is on the eve of meeting.
Newceastle-on-Tyne was on Monday the scene of one of
thas gatherings, and from the fact that 20,000 persons
Senet & procession to the plave where the platform was
erected, and that no fewer than fifty-four speeches, all
by working men, were delivered, we gather that New-
eastle-on-Tyne has declared for an. extension of the

âThe âMemorial Diplomatiqueâ asserts that the Ew-

remain at bis post.or to abdicate.
Aceording to reliable information, the Morning Post
bas reason to believe that the long-pending differences
iw Han, and the Court of Vienna have been
satisfactorily adjasted. A reparate Hungarian Ministry
has been concetled, and the nomination of its members
is almost complete. The new ministers will enter apon
their functions as soon as the Reichsrath Extraordinary
ig assembled, and it will then depend on the wisdom
and moderation of that body and the Diet for Hungary
to make the understanding arrived at complete.
The Globe says that â the Italian Government bas
come to the resolution to abstain from intervention of
any kind in the affairs of the East, and to cultivate
friendly relations with Turkey as well as Austria. The
whole policy of covert agitation agaist Turkey, pur-
sded by the Court ef Athens, has derived encourage-
oyent from the hope that the Italians, in the event of
matters coming to a crisis, would take part on their
side. The resolution now taken by Baron Ricasoli and
his Government nut put an end to such hopes, as well
as prevent, so far as the Government can, anv farther
assistance to the insurgents on the part of the Italians.â|ing, a8 is alleged, to~acts of outrage and violence, has|drama,
The proposal in the Italian budget for the liquidation
of the Church property is just now eugaging much at-
tention in Florence, and opinions are widely divided
â it. The valae of the property is estimated at
1 million lire, Inatead of taking it all, selling it,
and giving salaries aud pensions to the clergy, the Go-
âvernment is to receive 60,000,000 lire, in balf-yearly
instalments of 60,000,000 lire each, and the Chureb will
retain the rest ou condition that it shall convert its es-
fates into Italian stockâ. and shall provide for all the ex-
of public worship. By the adoption of such a
measure, the Government will secure a large sum of
monry flowing into its coffers for six years to come, and
the State, it is said, will avoid the odium of despoiling
the Church. How far the Papal Government will con-
sent to such a measure, ie at present unknown, bat it is
stated in Florence that the Holy See will agree to the
arrangement if that course is necessary in order to pre-

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH
AT THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
Lonpon, Feb. 5.+The following:is the speech: made
by the Queen at the re-openivg of the Iwper.al larlia-
ment to-day i i [ ,
My LordsâIn again recurring to your advice and as-
sistance, Lam happy to inform you that my relations
with foreign powers are on a@ friendly and satisfactory
foot. TL hope that the war in which Prussia, Austriv
and Italy have be@n engaged may lead to the establish-
ment efâaâ durable peace in Europe. [have suggested
to the Government of the United States a mode by
ding between the two countries
arixing out of the civil war, may receive an amicable
solution, and which, if met, as [trast it will be, in»
kins cam sage will remove all grounds of possible
misunderstanding, and promote relations of cordial
frientiyhip.
The war between Spain and the republic of Chili and
Peru still continues; the good offices of my Govern-
ment in connection with that of the Emperor of the
French, having failed to effect a@ reconciliation, lt,
either by agreement between the parties theumelves, or
by the mediation of aay other friendly power, the
peace should âbe restored; the objects which
have bad in view will be equally attained, The
discontent -prevailing inâ some ef the provinces
of the Turkish) Empire, bas broken out im actual
msurrection in Crete; in common with my allies, th:
Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Russia, |
have abstained from any active interference in these in-
ternal disturbances, but joint efforts have been directed
to bringing about improved relations between the Port
and ite Christian subjects, not inconsistent with the
Sovereign rights of the Saltan,
The protracted negotiations which arose out of th:
acceptance by Prince Charles, of Hozenzolleen, of the
Governorahip of the Danubian principalities, have beer
happily terminated, by an arrangement which has beet
sanctioned by the-conenrrence of all the powers signa:
tories of the treaty of 1856,
Resolutions in favor of a more intimate Union of th:
Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
have been passed by their several Legislatures, and de-
legates duly authorized and representing all classes of
Colonial party and opinion, have concurred in the
vonditions upen which such an union may be best effect.
ed m accordance with their wishes, A bill will be sub-
mitted to you, whieh, by the consideration of colonial
interests and resources, will give strength to the Pro-
vinces assmembers of the sau Eurpire and animated by
feelings of loyalty to the same sovereign,
have heard with deep sorrow that the calamity of
famine pressed heavily on my subjeets in eome parts ot
odial and instructions were issued. to my Goverment
in that country to make the atmost exertions to allay the
Qistress which prevailed during the aututhi of last year
The blessings of an abundant harvest hos stave that
time improved the condition of the sutfering districts.
The persevering efforts, and anscrupulous assertions
of treasonable conspiracies have, during the Jas!
autumn, excited the hopes of some disaffected person»
L is
which the questions |
entrusted to the executive, and the hostility manifested
against the conspiracy by men of all classes and creed:
have greatly tenled to restore public coplidgnce, and
have rendered hopeless any attempt to disturb the gen-
eral tranquility. | â
I trust that you Will consequently be enabled to dis-
pense with the continuance of any exceptional legislation
for that part of my dominions,
I acknowledge with deep thankfulness to Almighty
God, the great decrease which has taken place inâ the
Cholera, and in the pest which has attacked our cattle ;
but the continued prevalence of the latter in some for-
eign countries, and ite onal re-appearance in this,
will render it ry that special measures of
preeaution should be taken, and E trust tbat the visita-
tary measures which experience has shown to be the best
preventative. Estimating'as of the highest importance
un adequate supply of pure and wholesome water, T
have directed the issue of a Commission to enquire mito
ihe best means of permanently securing such a supply
for the metropolis, and for the ââ- towns in the
denseiy peopled districts of the ingdom.
Gentlemen of the | ouse of Commons:
T have directed the estimates for the ensuing year to
Lbe laid before you.. They bave been prepared with «
due regard to econoniy and the requirements of the
public service. You will, [ am assured, give your
ready assent to a moderate expenditare, ealculated to
improve the state of my soldiers and to lay the fuanda-
tiow of an efficient army of reserves.
My Lords and Gentemen:
Your att-ntion will again be called to the state of the
representation of the po ulation in Parliament, and
trust that your dehberadions, conducted in a spirit of
moderation and mutual forbearance, may lead to the
the elective franchise. : es
The frequentoceurrenceo f disagreement between the
employers of labor and their workmen, causing much
rivate suffering and public loss, and occasionally lead-
induced me to issue a Commission to enquire into and

societies, Whether of workmen or employers, with
power to suggest any improvement of the laws lor their
own benefit; application will be made to you for parlia-
mentary powers which will be necessary to make this
enquiry effected. i
I have directed bills to be laid before you for the ex-
tension to other gradvs of the beneficial provisions of
the factory âacts and especially those reported by the
royal commissions on the employment of children, and
for the better regulation, according to the principle of
those acts, of workshops where women and ebildren are
largely employed,
The condition of the mercantile mariao has attracted
my serious atrention, Complaints are made that the
supply of seamen ts deficient, aud the provisions for
their henith and discipline on boardship are imperfect.
Measures will be submitted to you with a view to
increase the eflicieney of this important service,

it would be extremely difliguit toâ conjecture what
would be the result of this gigane upheaving of a

as much decision of character and firmness in his dis-
tinguishing Âąrait, as he has aiready done in many
questions in which personal interest: was much leas at
stuke, it will not be too much to predict that his an-
fortunate country will be again, in a short thne, deluged
in blood. The histury of England during the seven-
teenth century, teaches us the fearful consequences o
such antagonism on the part of two branches âof the
Legislature, and itâ is ta âbe hoped that American
olutesmen nay yet devise some means of preventing a
repetition, on, this continent, of the bloody era of
Charles the Second and-Oliver Cromwell.
The Congress, or rather the Radical portion of it.

the President; it must alsv butt its bead against the
walls of the Supreme Court. Of atl the departments

in Christendom. Whether the Radicals can succeed
in infusing irito the American people in general, the
fanatical vpinions which they themselves entertain of
the highest Court of Judicature in the Union, appears
to be extremely imyprobuble, for, from the very dis-
questiuns, and especially on that of taxation, we are
melined to believe that the stur of the Radical banner
isva the wane. âThe enormous duties which are levied
on nearly all imports, and whica are intended, it is
alleged, to pretect native industry; the unprecedented
increase in taxativa within the last four yeurs; the
almost starvation prices of the commonést necessaries

that will sooner or later convince the American peeple
that the Radical majority in Congress are not exactly

complacent gentlemen are plying their old vocation of

It is said to be the opinion of political France that
the British Cabinet is in extremis; either it must bring

cline to do's0, and go-inta the Opposition lobby.
âSome of the sĂ©m'-official journals of Paris affirin
positively that no French lodn is in contemplation; but
it is reported that some financial measures of a bold

Another report concerning King Victor Emmanuel
has gained curtency in Paris. This time the rumor i
of the assassination of his Majeaty, but that he bas
fallen into a dangerous state of illcess from congestion
of the brain. The report is not coutirmed, and ite
truthfallness is suspected. It 1s, however, well known
that His Majesty has had two attacks of a similar na-
tare, and his medical uyen are said to be very anxious
lest he sliould saffer a recurrence of the malady.
âThe long list of reform demonstrations made since

Aceording to reliable information, the Morning Post
bas reason to believe that the long-pending differences
iw Han, and the Court of Vienna have been
satisfactorily adjasted. A reparate Hungarian Ministry
has been concetled, and the nomination of its members
is almost complete. The new ministers will enter apon
their functions as soon as the Reichsrath Extraordinary

and moderation of that body and the Diet for Hungary
to make the understanding arrived at complete.
The Globe says that â the Italian Government bas
come to the resolution to abstain from intervention of
any kind in the affairs of the East, and to cultivate
friendly relations with Turkey as well as Austria. The
whole policy of covert agitation agaist Turkey, pur-
sded by the Court ef Athens, has derived encourage-
oyent from the hope that the Italians, in the event of
matters coming to a crisis, would take part on their
side. The resolution now taken by Baron Ricasoli and
his Government nut put an end to such hopes, as well
as prevent, so far as the Government can, anv farther
assistance to the insurgents on the part of the Italians.â|ing, a8 is alleged, to~acts of outrage and violence, has|drama,
The proposal in the Italian budget for the liquidation
of the Church property is just now eugaging much at-
tention in Florence, and opinions are widely divided
â it. The valae of the property is estimated at
1 million lire, Inatead of taking it all, selling it,
and giving salaries aud pensions to the clergy, the Go-
âvernment is to receive 60,000,000 lire, in balf-yearly
instalments of 60,000,000 lire each, and the Chureb will
retain the rest ou condition that it shall convert its es-
fates into Italian stockâ. and shall provide for all the ex-
of public worship. By the adoption of such a
measure, the Government will secure a large sum of
monry flowing into its coffers for six years to come, and
the State, it is said, will avoid the odium of despoiling
the Church. How far the Papal Government will con-
sent to such a measure, ie at present unknown, bat it is
stated in Florence that the Holy See will agree to the

to the Government of the United States a mode by

solution, and which, if met, as [trast it will be, in»
kins cam sage will remove all grounds of possible
misunderstanding, and promote relations of cordial
frientiyhip.
The war between Spain and the republic of Chili and
Peru still continues; the good offices of my Govern-
ment in connection with that of the Emperor of the
French, having failed to effect a@ reconciliation, lt,
either by agreement between the parties theumelves, or
by the mediation of aay other friendly power, the
peace should âbe restored; the objects which
have bad in view will be equally attained, The

of the Turkish) Empire, bas broken out im actual

Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Russia, |
have abstained from any active interference in these in-
ternal disturbances, but joint efforts have been directed
to bringing about improved relations between the Port
and ite Christian subjects, not inconsistent with the
Sovereign rights of the Saltan,
The protracted negotiations which arose out of th:
acceptance by Prince Charles, of Hozenzolleen, of the
Governorahip of the Danubian principalities, have beer
happily terminated, by an arrangement which has beet

God, the great decrease which has taken place inâ the
Cholera, and in the pest which has attacked our cattle ;

shouldâ the Radicals persiss in dealing with My.
Johnston in the sammary manner they have declared,
it would be extremely difliguit toâ conjecture what
would be the result of this gigane upheaving of a

as much decision of character and firmness in his dis-
tinguishing Âąrait, as he has aiready done in many
questions in which personal interest: was much leas at
stuke, it will not be too much to predict that his an-
fortunate country will be again, in a short thne, deluged
in blood. The histury of England during the seven-
teenth century, teaches us the fearful consequences o
such antagonism on the part of two branches âof the
Legislature, and itâ is ta âbe hoped that American
olutesmen nay yet devise some means of preventing a
repetition, on, this continent, of the bloody era of
Charles the Second and-Oliver Cromwell.
The Congress, or rather the Radical portion of it.

the President; it must alsv butt its bead against the
walls of the Supreme Court. Of atl the departments

in Christendom. Whether the Radicals can succeed
in infusing irito the American people in general, the
fanatical vpinions which they themselves entertain of
the highest Court of Judicature in the Union, appears
to be extremely imyprobuble, for, from the very dis-
questiuns, and especially on that of taxation, we are
melined to believe that the stur of the Radical banner
isva the wane. âThe enormous duties which are levied
on nearly all imports, and whica are intended, it is
alleged, to pretect native industry; the unprecedented
increase in taxativa within the last four yeurs; the
almost starvation prices of the commonést necessaries
of life, âall these and a dozen other causes are at work,
that will sooner or later convince the American peeple
that the Radical majority in Congress are not exactly
the men fur the times. In the meantime, these self-
complacent gentlemen are plying their old vocation of

twelve of the crew, ivelyding Capiain Jones, of the
ship Mountouth, which foundered at sea about Sth
of the saddest episodes of the sea, It appears that
the Monmouth, left New Orleans for Liverpool, via
Pensacola, on the 17th of last November, and since
then up to the time she was falleu iv with by the shp
David Cannon, experienced, with but slight inter-
mission, a series of heavy storms, Nothing of any
serious consequence, however, took place until the
latter end of December, when the unfortunate ship
encountered a terrific hurricane, in the course of
which « heavy squall, tecompuanied hy ao enormous

and the whole of the deck furniture, &e., overboard,
None of the crew were anved, as their fellow-mntes
were unable to render them any assistance, From
the report of Captain Walsh, we learn that, on Sane
day, the 20th ultâ, about 4 p.m., he fell in with the
ship Monmouth, bound from Pensacola tor this port,
in lat. 40 N., lon 46 W.. waterlogged. The vessel
was timber laden, the cargo being principally oak
and piteh pine, and appeared to be a complete wreck,
The atter deck-honse, bulwarks, stanchions, boats,
&c., were all gone from the deck. The maiomast
had been cnrried away by the board, the mizzentop-
mast and jibboom were broken, and the sails blown
into ribbons. The deck beams parted on the star
board side, the stern was washed ip, and tho timber
part of the cargo was workiug out of the side, After
much diffienly and danger Captaia Walsh sneceed-
