My Lobds and Gentlemen , It affords me great satisfaction to meet you on the present occasion , anticipating as I do that although your labours may be of short duration , they will greatly conduce to the welfare and happiness of my ^ You are aware of the causes which led me to dissolve the late House of Commons . With anxious solicitude I watched the progress of the proceedings consequent upon the issue of the writs for the re-election of the second but not the least important branch of the legislature . - I
• witnessed -with much pain that in England and Scotland many constituencies repeated the mal-practices which in former times brought so much discredit on our constitutional system , and I learn with regret that numerous instances of bribery and corruption are likely to be substantiated before committees of the lower House . Ireland was the theatre of still more distressing occurences . The elections were stained by scenes of violence and bloodshed . I have directed that those outrages shall be rigidly inquired into , and that those proved to be guilty , whether servants of the Crown , or members of the public , shall be dealt with as strict and impartial justice may command .
Gentlemen of the House of Commons , It would be useless to deplore or punish the misdeeds of the past without seeking a remedy adequate to provide against their recurrence in the future . Convinced that the great cause of these evils consists in the defective state of the representation , combined with the ignorance of a portion of the people , and that the remedy will be found , in calling into action the patriotic feelingof all classes , and by affording every facility for the diffusion of useful informationI have instructed and commanded my ministers to lay before
, your honourable Honse a series of measures , designed to extend the elective franchise to every adult male of sane mind , not undergoing punishment for crime ; to afford to each voter the protection of the ballot ; to more equally apportion the electoral districts ; to abolish the iniquitous property qualification heretofore required of English and Irish members of your House ; to provide that members , as servants of the public , shall receive a reasonable fixed sum for their services ^ and lastly , to enact a return to the ancient usage of this realm , by the restoration of annual in lieu of septennial
Parliaments . And , furthermore , I have directed my ministers to lay before your honourable house , a brief but very important measure , providing for the abolition of the stamp on newspapers , the duty on paper and advertisements , and all other taxes on knowledge and restrictions upon the spread of general information . My Lords aed Gentlemen , In common with my people , I have observed , with painful interest , the gradual extinction of those popular liberties , achieved by . the people of Europe at the expense of much bloodshed and suffering , in
the memorable year 1846 . Especially I have lamented the sight of a neighbouring and gallant nation despoiled of its liberties ; reduced by treason and violence to a state of abject slavery . The late advances of military despotism on the continent , command that England should be prepared for all contingencies . The most effectual defence against foreign agression will be found , not so much in our regular organised forces , as in the arms of a free people . I have , therefore , instructed my ministers to propose the abrogation of all laws against popular training and drilling , and restricting the ancient and constitutional right of the people to bear arms . They will also submit to you a measure , extending and improving the late Militia
Act , and providing foT the enrolment of volunteer corps for the defence of the country . I have ordered the strictest investigation into the management of the navy , and I trust to your loyal co-operation to place that important arm of the national defences in a state of the most thorough efficiency . With sorrow and indignation I have witnessed the atrocities of which Italy has been the theatre for some time past , and I have directed my Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to negotiate with the governments of France and Austria , for the amicable withdrawal of their forces from the soil of Italy , so that that country may be left to the free developemeut of its national life and the enjoyment of a better future .
While it will be my earnest wish to preserve peace , I shall consider it my duty , relying upon your cordial support , to give aid and succour to all peoples struggling against tyranny , and aiming at the establishments of free and progressive institutions . My Lords and Gentlemen , Many weighty and pressing measures demand the attention of the British legislature ; amongst others , Revision of Taxation , —Reform of the Established Churches , —a popular remodelling of the army and
navy , —National Education , —the Abolition of Pauperism , —thorough Sanitary Reform , —and complete justice to our colonies and dependencies . But these measures will be best considered when the House of Commons is a thorough reflex of the nation ' s will . Be it your mission ^ in this present session , to radically reform our representative system , and to restore to . the people their rights as men and citizens . So doing , you will win for yourselves the nation ' s gratitude , and the admiration of posterity , and make this island a home of freedom , an example to all peoples , and a terror to all oppressors .
[ The above , or something like it , will be her Majesry ' s speech a week hence , if , in the mean time she should dismiss her present ministers , and call to her councils true and faithful patriots . ]

amongst the number . The prisoners , with the exception of one , met the announcement of their death with hardihood , spurning the ghostly aid of the monks appointed to attend upon such lucubrious occasions , and crying out for liberty and the republic . Notwithstanding a pouring rain , crowds of people assembled at daybreak on all the hei ghts commanding a view of the internal yard of the Lazaretto , and remained there until midday , when the execution took place . Amongst the spectators were groups of priests and friars in great number . " Tuscany .- —The Grand Duke has refused to receive the deputation of English and others who had proceeded to Florence to intercede for the Madias .
Lombardy . —A letter from Como , of the 28 th ult . announces the arrest of several persons there for political offences . Among them are an engineer , an apothecary , and a lady . Other persons , who were to be arrested , succeeded in making their escape . Many houses have been searched , and several arrests have taken place at Milan and Lodi . In the latter place , a Dr . Rossetti , on being arrested , attempted to commit suicide , by cutting his throat with a lancet , but was prevented . These arrests are looked upon as a consequence of the trial now in progress at Mantua .

FRIDAY , NOVEMBER , 5 th . . House of Lords . —The House of Lords , met at half-past two o ' cock . The membeqs of the House of Commons having been summoned to the bar , Mr . Shaw Lefevre was informed by the Lord Chancelor that his appointment as Speaker of the House of Commons had been confirmed and approved by the Crown . After a few words in reply from the Speaker , and the retirement of the Commons , their lordships proceeded to swear in members until shortly before four o ' clock , when they adjourned till Monday . House of Commons . —In the House of Commons the members were summoned to the House of Lira ' s to hear the commission read .
On their return the Speaker took his seat , and announced in a few words the confirmation of his appointment . The swearing-in of members was then proceeded with , and occupied the house until its adjournment shortly after four o ' clock .

The Tory Whip . —Mr . Rumbold , the member for Yarmouth , received one of the official circulars issued by Mr . Disraeli to the protectionist and Derbyite members of the new parliament . Two tory votes are thus to be reckoned for that borough . Guy Fawkes Day . —Yesterday being the 5 th of November , the usual search was made in Parliamentary cellars to discover the shade of Guy , and prevent the blowing up of the Parliament . The serious operation took place shortly after 11 o ' clock a . m ., by several of the officers of the two Houses of Parliament . With lamp in hand , and with solemn step and watchful eye , the expedition of discovery advanced along the corridors and descended into the cellars . The heated air of the pipes which run along the basement of the two houses
attracted the attention of the searchers , but was pronounced by competent judges not to be danderous . Every nook and corner was examined for the discovery of combustible materials calculated to blow up the new Palace of Westminster and the peers and commoners of the land , but none were found except some rubish connected with the lighting and ventilating processes of the modern Guy , Dr . Reid . The shade of the ancient Gup was searched for in vain , and after a fruitless effort in the subterranean regions in the new Palace of Westminster , the searchers returned to the carpeted chamber o £ the upperstories , covered with dust and nearly suffocated with foul air , to report Guy non est inventus , and that the Lords Spiritual and Temporal , and Her Majesty ' s faithful Commons , had no cause for apprehension . —Globe .
Gas Explosion at Southampton . —On Thursday , about 5 o ' clock in the evening , it was stated that there was an escape of gas in the gentlemen ' s waiting room of the Southampton Railway terminus . Mr . Johnson , the clerk of the works on the South Western Railway ; Mr . Ireland , the superintendent of the railway carriages ; and another official , who hap ' peened to be near the waiting room , proceeded there in consequence . She room is a lofty one , and a gaslight hangs from the ceiling at rather a high level . As the above-named individuals entered the room the smell of gas was not particularly strong , and Mr . Ireland mounted some steps to discover the locality of the escape . As soon as he mounted , he found the smell of gas very powerful , and he sung out , " There is plenty of gas escaping up here ; get me a piece of lighted paper , that I may see where the escape is . " A
piece of lighted paper was handed him , and as soon as he lifted it up , a terrific explosion took place . It sounded about the premises as if a heavy piece of ordnance bad been discharged twice . A number of persons ran to where the sounds proceeded'from , and they saw a man rush out from the waiting-room , enveloped in flames . Every one cried out , " Lie down , and roll yourself about . " This advice the man took , ani numbers came to his assistance , and extinguished the flames . It was now discovered that the unfortunate person was Mr . Ireland . His hands , chest , and head were burnt dreadfully , and he was conveyed at once to the infirmary . Mr . Johnson was slightly injuredthe other official escaped . The fire in the waiting-room was soon extinguished , but not before the whole of the wainscoting was completely charred . The windows were blown out by the concussion . The account last night was , that Mr . Ireland lies in a deplorable state .

FUREIGJN IJNTELLitrEJSCE . FRANCE . Paris , Friday Morning . In a message to the Senate , the President says : — - " The nation has just openly manifested its will to re-establish the empire . If you adopt it you will think no doubt with me that the constitution of 1852 ought to be maintained , and then the modification considered as indispensable will by no means alter the fundamental basis . "
The proposition of the ten members of the Senate who demanded that the people should be consulted respecting the establishment of the Empire , is referred to a special commission , which is to report on Saturday . .
ITALY . Rome . —A letter from Rome of the 28 th ult . says : — " Military executions on an extended scale continue to work out the decrees of the Sacred Consults Tribunal . Those which I mentioned in my last letter as about to take place at Ancona , were carried into effect on the 25 th instant . During the preceding night nine prisoners were transferred from the fortress to the Lazaretto , to be executed in the precincts of the latter establishment . Every thing relating to them was kept verv secret nor were theirnames divulged , but it is known that they formed part ot the band of political homicides with whom Edward Murray was alleged to have acted .
