LATEST NEWS. OPENING OF PARLIAMENT YESTERDAY BY HER MAJESTY. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. The third session of the present Parliament was opened yesterday afternoon by the Queen in person. Her Majesty, with the Princesses Louise and Beatrice and Prince Leopold, attended by Colonel de Ros, Lady Churchill, and other ladies and gentlemen of the Court, left Windsor Castle at ten o'clock yesterday morning, en route for London. They drove from the Castle to the Windsor station of the Great Western Railway, where a special train was in waiting to convey them to Padding- ton. The train arrived at Paddington at 10.40 a.m., after a run of only 35 minutes. There the Royal carriages were in waiting, and in these the Queen and suite drove to Buckingham Palace, in order to prepare for the cere- mony of the afternoon. The proverbial Queen's weather" favoured her Majesty yesterday morning, and large numbers of persons assembled in the streets to witness the procession, which was in most respects like that which took place in 1867, the last occasion on which her Majesty opened Parliament. Her Majesty arrived at Buckingham Palace at 11 o'clock in an open barouche drawn by four horses, accompanied by an escort of the 10th Hussars. Very few people were as- sembled to witness the arrival. Around the Houses of Parliament, and in the adjacent thoroughfares, however, large crowds of people assembled at a comparatively early hour. Stands were erected in Parliament-street and Abingdon-street, covered for the most part with crimson cloth. The carriages of those who had been fortunate enough to obtain tickets of admission to the opening cere- monial began to arrive in New Palace-yard at 11 o'clock. It was precisely one o'clock when the Queen emerged from Buckingham Palace to drive to the Parliament Houses. At that time the open space before the Palace was packed with an immense crowd of spectators, among whom the foreign element was conspicuous the French fugitives, who were there in large numbers, manifesting a lively interest in the proceedings.. The Royal party occupied six carriages, the Prince and Princess of Wales being in the fifth, and her Majesty and the princesses in the sixth. The Queen proceeded in full State, with the exception of the substitution of a hand- some equipage, drawn by eight cream-coloured horses, for the old State coach. Her Majesty was escorted by the Yeomen of the Guard and by the Life Guards (Blue). Along the Mall the procession was witnessed by crowds of spectators. The Royal party drove through the en- trance to the Horse Guards to Parliament-street, thence to the peers' entrance of the Palace of Westminster, the entire line of route being lined with observers, ladies pre- dominating. The Princess Louise, it scarcely need be mentioned, was the object of much popular interest. The Queen, we are happy to state, showed gratifying signs of improved health and spirits and the Princess of Wales appeared to have lost none of her charms. The Prince and Princess of Teck drove to the ceremony shortly before the Royal procession. HOUSE OF COMMONS. At 14 minutes past two the Black Rod (Sir Charles Clifford) attended, and proceeded to the foot of the Speaker's table, where he delivered the following message: — Mr. Speaker: The Queen commands the immediate attendance of this Honourable House at the House of Peers." The roll of members was then read by the Clerk at the table, and the Speaker, followed by the members of the House, proceeded to the Bar of the House of Lords to hear the Queen's Speech read. THE CEREMONY. The House of Lords is kept waiting for a few moments, when the noise of the Commons rushing through the corridors was heard, and the next moment the Speaker appeared at the bar with Mr. Gladstone, behind whom came a crowd of hon. members. The Speech having been handed te the Queen, was returned to the Lord Chancellor, who thereupon said "My lords, I am commanded by the Queen to read the Speech for her Majesty wherefore in her Majesty s name, and in her Majesty's words, I now proceed to read it. The noble and learned lord then read THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, At an epoch of such moment to the future fortunes of Europe, I am especially desirous to avail myself of your counsels. The war which broke out in the month of July between France and Germany has raged, until within the last few days, with unintermitted and likewise with unexampled force and its ravages may be renewed, after but a few days more, unless moderation and forethought, prevailing over all impediments, shall sway the councils of both the parties whose well-being is so vitally concerned. At the time when you separated, I promised a constant attention to the subject of neutral obligations; and I undertook to use my best endeavours to prevent the en- largement of the area of the war, and to contribute, if opportunity should offer, to the restoration of an early and honourable peace. In accordance with the first of these declarations I have maintained the rights and strictly discharged the duties of neutrality. The sphere of war has not been extended beyond the two countries originally engaged. Cherishing with care the cordiality of my relations with each belligerent, I have forborne from whatever might have been construed as gratuitous or unwarranted inter- ference between parties, neither of whom had shown a readiness to propose terms of accommodation such as to bear promise of acceptance by the other. I have been enabled, on more than one occasion, to contribute towards pl<1.cing the representatives of the two contending countries in confidential communication but, until famine compelled the surrender of Paris, no further result had been obtained. The armistice now being employed for the convocation of an Assembly in France has brought about a pause in the constant accumulation, on both sides, of human suffering and has rekindled the hope of a complete ac- commodation. I pray that this suspension may result in a peace compatible, for the two great and brave nations involved, with security and with honour, and likely therefore to command the approval of Europe, and te give reasonable hopes of a long duration. It has been with concern that I have found myself unable to accredit my Ambassador in a formal manner to the Government of Defence, which has subsisted in France since the revolution of September; but neither the harmony nor the efficiency of the correspondence of the two States has been in the smallest degree impaired. The King of Prussia has accepted the title of Emperor of Germany at the instance of the chief authorities of the nation. I have offered my congratulations on an event which bears testimony to the solidity and independence of Germany, and which, I trust, may be found conducive to the stability of the European system. I have endeavoured, in corresponrlence with other Powers of Europe, to uphold the sanctity of treaties, and to remove any misapprehension as to the binding character of their obligations. It was agreed by the Powers which had been parties to the Treaty of 1856, that a Conference should meet in London. This Conference has now for some time been engaged in its labours and I confidently trust that the result of its deliberations will be to uphold both the principles of public right and the general policy of the Treaty, and at the same time, by the revision of some of its conditions in a fair and conciliatory spirit, to exhibit a cordial co-operation among the Powers with regard to the Levant. I greatly reget that my earnest efforts have failed to procure the presence at the Conference of any representa- tive of France, which was one of the chief parties to the Treaty of 1856, and which must ever be regarded as a principal and indispensable member of the great Common- wealth of Europe. At different times, several questions of importance bad arisen, which are not yet adjusted, and which materially affect the relations between the United States and the territories and people of British North America. One of them in particular, which concerns the fisheries, calls for early settlement, lest the possible indiscretion of individuals should impair the neighbourly understanding, which it is on all grounds so desirable to cherish and maintain. I have therefore engaged in amicable communications with the President of the United States. In order to determine the most convenient mode of treatment for these matters, I have suggested the ap- pointment of a joint Commission and I have agreed to a proposal of the President, that this Commission shall be authorised at the same time, and in the same manner, to resume the consideration of the American claims grow- ing out of the circumstances of the late war. This ar- rangement will, by common consent, include all claims for compensation which have been or may be made by each Government, or by its citizens, upon the other. The establishment of a Prince of the House of Savoy on the throne of Spain, by the free choice of the popu- larly-elected representatives of the Spanish nation, will, I trust, ensure for a country which has passed with so much temperance and self-control through a a prolonged and trying crisis, the blessings of a stable Government. I am unhappily not able to state that the inquiry which was instituted by the Government of Greece into the history of the shocking murders perpetrated during the last spring at Dilessi has reached a termination answerable in all repects to my just expectations, but I shall not desIst from my endeavours to secure the com- plete attainment of the objects of the inquiry. Some valuable results, however, have in the meantime been obtained, for the exposure and repression of a lawless and corrupting system, which has too long afflicted the Greek Peninsula. The anxiety which the massacre at Tien-tsin on the 21st of June last called forth has happily been dispelled; and while it wili be my earnest endeavour to provide for the security of my subjects and their trade in those remote quarters, I count on your concurrence in the po1icy that I have adopted of reeognising the Chinese Government as entitled to be dealt with in its relations with this country in a conciliatory and forbearing spirit. The Pailiamentary recess has been one of anxious in- terest in regard to foreign affairs. But I rejoice to acquaint you that my relations are, as heretofore, those of friend- ship and good understanding with the Sovereigns and Siates of the civilized world. Papers illustrative of the conduct of my Government in relation to the several matters on which I have now sum- marily touched will be duly laid before you. In turning to domestic affairs, I have first to inform you that I have approved of a marriage between my daughter Princess Louise and the Marquess of Lome, and I have declared my consent to this union in Council. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, The revenue of the country flourishes, and the condi- tion of trade and industry may, though with partial drawbacks, be declared satisfactory. The estimates of the coming year will be promptly laid before you, MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, The lessons of military experience afforded by the present war have been numerous and important. The time appears appropriate for turning such lessons to account by efforts more decisive than heretofore at practical improvement. In attempting this you will not fail to bear in mind the special features in the position of this country, so favourable to the freedom and security of the people, and if the changes from a less to a more effective and elastic system of defensive military prepara- tion shall be found to involve, at least for a time, an increase of various charges, your prudence and patriotism will not grudge the cost, as long as you are satisfied that the end is important, and the means judicious. No time will be lost in laying before you a Bill for the better re- gulation of the army and the auxiliary land forces of the Crown, and I hardly need commend it to your anxious and impartial consideration. I trust that the powerful interest at present attaching to affairs abroad, and to military questions, will not greatly abate the energy with which you have heretofore applied yourselves to the work of general improvement in our domestic legislation. I commend anew to your attention several measures on subjects which I desired to be brought before you during the last .Session of Parliament, but which the time re- maining at your disposal, after you had dealt with the principal subjects of the year, was not found sufficient to carry to a final issue. I refer especially to the Bills on Religious Tests in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, on Ecclesiastical Titles, on the Disabilities of Trade Combinations, on the Courts of Justice and Appeal, on the Adjustment of Local Burdens, and on the Licensing of Houses for the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors. The inquiry made by a Committee of the Commons House being now complete, a measure will be placed before you on an early day for the establishment of Secret Voting. A proposal is anxiously expected in Scotland for the adjustment of the question of primary education. With reference of the training of the young in schools on a national scale and basis, that portion of the country has especial claims on the favourable consideration of Parlia- ment and I trust the year may not pass by without your having disposed of this question by the enactment of a just and effective law. The condition of Ireland with reference to agrarian crime has. in general, afforded a gratifying contrast with the state of that island in the preceding winter but there have been painful though very partial exceptions. To secure the best results for the great measures of the two last Sessions which have so recently passed into operation, and which, involve such direct and pressing claims upon the attention of all classes of the community, a period of calm is to be desired and I have thought it wise to refrain from suggesting to you at the present juncture the discussion of any political question likely to become the subject of new and serious controversy in that country. The burdens devolving upon you as the great Council of the nation, and of this ancient and extended Empire, are, and must long continue to be weighty. But you labour for a country whose laws and institutions have stood the test of time, and whose people are earnestly attached to them, and desiring their continuance, will unite with their Severeign in invoking upon all your designs the favour and aid of the Most High. When the Lord Chancellor had finished reading the Speech the Queen rose from the Throne, and, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princesses, left the House, which was speedily cleared of the brilliant company which had occupied it for two hours and a half. Her Majesty was conducted back to the Peers' entrance where the Royal carriages were in waiting. The pro- cession was formed, and the Queen returned to Buckingham Palace.
