MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. Housi: or Loans, Jan. 10.

Her Majesty opened the Session of Parliament with a. Speech ‘

from the Throne.

Her Mn'esty having desired the Peers present to be seated, order- ed tlio Uslicr oftlie Black Rod to summon the Commons. In a few minutes the Members oftlte Commons, headed by the Speaker, tip- pearcd at the bar, when Her Mnjosty delivered t e following must gracious

s r E E c n ; My Lords and Gentlemen;

Since you were last assembled, I have declared my intention of tallying myself in marriage with the Prince Albert of Saxe Coliourg and Gotha. humbl implore that the Divine blessintr may prosper this union, and render it con ueive to the interests of my people, as well as my own domestic hap- piness, and it will be to me a source of the most live y satisfaction to find the resolution I have taken up roved by my Parliament.

The constant proofs which have received of your attachment to my per- son and family, persuade me that you will enable me to provide for such an establishment as may appear suitable to the rank of the Prince and the dig- itit ' of the Crown.

continue to receive from Foreign Powers assurances of their unabated desire to maintain with me most friendly relations.

Irejoicc that the civil war which has so long disturbed and desolntcd the northern provinces ofSpain has been brought to an end by an arrangement, latisfactor to the Spanish government, and lo the people of those ro- viuccs,au I trust that, ere long, peace and tranquillity will be re-cstab ish- ed lhrou bout the whole of Spain.

The again of the Levant have continued to occupy my most anxious at. tention. The concord which has prevailed amongst the Five Powers has prevented aresewal of hostilities in that quarter ; and I hope that the same unanimity will bring these important and difficult matters to a final settle. merit, in such a manner as to uphold the integrity and independence of the Ottoman Empire, and to give additional security to the peace of Europe.

I have not et been enabled to re-eslablish my diplomatic relations with the Court of oheran, but communications which I have lately received from the Pctstan government,_inspire me with the confident expectation that the differences which occasioned-a suspension of those relations will soon be satisfactorily ad'usted.

Events have appcned in China, which have occasioned an interruption of the commercial intercourse of my subjects with that country. I have

'veu, and shall continue to give, the most serious attention to a matter so eeply affecting the interests of my subjects and the dignity of my crown.

I ave great satisfaction in acquainting you that the military operations undertaken by the Govemor—Gencral of India have been attended with complete success; and that in the expedition to the westward of the Indus, the ofiiccrs and troops, both European and native, have displayed the most distinguished skill and valour.

Ihave directed that further papers relating to the affairs of Canada should be laid before you, and I confide to your wisdom this important subject.

I recommend to your early attention the state of the municipal corpora.- tions of Ireland. .

It indesirnble that ‘ou should prosecute those measures relating to the Established Church which have been recommended by the Ecclesiastical Commusioners of England.

Geritlcmeit of the House of Common: ,' l have directed the estimates for the services of the year to be laid before _ have been framed with every attention to economy, and at the same time With a due regard to the efficiency of those establishments which are rendered necessary by the extent and circumstances of the Empire.

I have lost no time in carrying into efl'ect the intentions of Parliament by the reduction of the duties on postage, and I trust that the beneficial effects 0f lllll measure will be felt throughout all classes of the community.

My Lord: and Gentlemen; -

I learn with great sorrow that the commercial embarrassments which have taken place in this and other countries, are subjecting many of the manufac— turing districts to severe distress.

. l have to acquaint you with deep concern that the spirit of insubordina- tton has III'SOM parts of the country broken out into open violence, which was speedily repressed by the firmness and energy of the Magistrates, and b the Madman and good conduct of in troops. .

confidently rely upon the ower of the aw, upon your loyalty and wisdom, and upon thegtoodsense no right feeling or my people, for the mainten- ance of order, the protection of propert , and the promotion, as far as they’ can be promoted by human means, of t e true interests of Europe.
