Affairs in southeastern Kuropn are still unsettled , but I do not apprehend that any disturbance ot .European peace will result from unad justed controversies which have arisen In that region. Whllo deploring the events which compelled Prince Alexander to retire from the llulgailan throne. 1 have not judged It expedient to. Interfere In the proceedings for tnn election of his successor until they reach a stage at which my assent Is toqulrcd by the Ilcilln treaty. The task undertaken by my government In Kgypt has not yet been accomplished , but substantial advance has been made toward assurance of external and Internal tranquility. Operations in Hurmah have been conducted with bravery and skill for the purpose of extirpating brigandage , which has grown- during re cent years. The bands of marauders by whom upper Burraah has long been In fested have been dispersed , many of the leaders have laid down their aims , and I on- teitain the coniident hope that the general pacification of the country will bo effected dining the present season. Commercial treaties have been concluded with Greece and Itoumaula. Gentlemen of the Ilouso of Common * : Estimates will bo submitted to you , framed with careful regal d to economy and efficiency of the public service. MyLoidsnud Gentlemen : The condition ot Ireland still lequlres jour anxious atten tion. Gruvo crimes In that country have happily been rarer In the last few months than dm Ing the similar period of the prcced- In-r years , but the relations between the owners and occupiers of lands , which In the early autumn exhibited signs of Improve ment , have since bi-on seilously disturbed In BOIUO districts by organi/.cd attempts lo incite thu latter class to combine against the fulfill ment of their legal obligations. The efforts of the government to cope with this evil have been seriously Impeded by dilllctiltles Inci dent to the method at present prescribed by the statute lor dealing with such offenses. Your tally attention will bo called to pro posals lor reUirm of legal procedure which seem necessary to secure the prompt and olli- dent admlnistiatlon of the criminal law. Sinro I last addressed you the commissioners diiectcd to Inuiiire into certain objects of creat importance to the material weltaro of Ireland have been actively prosecuting their labors. Thcrnpoitof the commission of HID operation of the lecont acts dealing with the tenure and puichase of land will shortly be laid belore you and will doubtless receive lioin you the early and careful attention which the Importance of the subject demands. Bills lor Iho improvement of the local gov ernment in KiiL-Inim nnd Scotland will be "aid before you. Slioum circumstances ren ter it possible they will bo followed by a measure dealing with the same subject In Ireland. A bill for improving and cheapen ing the process of private bill legislation tor England , Scotland and Ireland will bo sub mitted. You will bo asked to consider nieas- ires havjng for their object the removal ot lindranccs which exist to tlio cheap and rapid tiausferof land to facilitate the provi sion of allotments for small householders. and to provitfe for the readier sale of glebe lands. The commission which 1 Issued in 183o to Inquires Into the lamentable depression under which trade and azilimlturo have been buffering for many years , have presented a valuable ropoit , which , with important uvi- : l nce collected , will bo laid betoro you. A lIII for alteiing the mode ot levying tithes in England and Wales will be submitted. Wit regard to Scotland , you will be asked to consider moasuies for the reform of uni versities , for completing recent legislation as to thu poweii of the secretary for Scotland , and for amending the procedure of the criminal courts. Measures dealing with ( ho legulation of railway rates and preventing the traudulentuse of merchandise marks will bo bro.ight under your consideration.

The scenes at the open ing of parliament to-day were duller than those usually attending this event. Sir Randolph Churchill , when ho lirst entered the commons , tried to take the coveted seat below the L-angw.w which he formorlv occu pied. Ho found that It bail been taken by Henry Chapman , whoso hat was on the seat. It is notorious that a feud exists between Churchill and Chapman. The speech from the throne excited little intoii-st. The weather was damp and foggy. The P.irnell- Ites , alter the rending of the queen's speech , bold a conleicnco and discussed the advisa bility of ofloringan amendment to the ad dress in reply to It. They adjourned without coming to a decision. Lord Randolph Churchill entered upon an explanation of the icasons which led him to resign the chancellorship of the exchequer. lie said ho retired because tlio govci nment's naval and military estimates cxccoded ! ! > , - 000.000 , withoutcountlng largo supplementary estimates. He insisted on having these esti mates i educed , but his colleagues lotused to cut them down , "althouirh , " added Lord Ran dolph , " 1 had been urging economy over since August. " Lord Randolph then re- 1 erred to the government's foreign policy and deelaied , amid loud opposition cheers : "I also objected to the government's policy of needless inteifcranco in affairs of other nations. " Lord Salisbury opened tlio debate for the government by alluding to the resignation of Lord Randolph Churchill , saying the govern ment was sensible of the loss It sustained through his icslgnatlon. The premier said , however , ho thought the execution of Ran dolph Churchill's policy at the piesont time would Indict injury on the puullc .service be cause it was a time when no one could tell wliatcilsls might happen. The marquis salti he hoped the conservatives would soon again have the advantage ot Lord Kandolph Churchill's service , Gladstone was apnlaudnd when ho called Lord Uaiidolph Churchill's resignation a sacrifice in behalf of a sound economic pollc > and the judicious mode in which ho pro posed to npplv the principles ho advocated , He ( Gladstone ) found no fault with the gov ernment's foicign policy , but ho thought thai Lord Salisbury's Mansion house speech was calculated to nrouso apprehension , and tlio country was entitled to bu reassuied. Refer ring to the Canadian liahciies question , he s.ild ho trusted that the papers on the subject would speedily bo pioswited to thu house Ho was le.uly to Itet ten to one that the loca government question would not bo sottlec this session. _ Scones at the Opening , ICopjrfyil&J7 / / lj l \ Jiunrs ( ; > ni < m Iltnnrtt , ' } LONDONJan. . 23.

It appropriately mel on a misty , molsty alteriioon , The peers ami members who hail driven or walked to the palace yard disappeared Irom the view o thousands of shivering spectators outside Into an impenetrable fo ; Inside. The cham ber of tlio peers looked doleful with its din gaslight. The throne was empty , and only a feu pcorosses were present in dull walking dresses. Lord Salisbury scorned to bo litho the "dumps , " and Lord Granvllle was mul audio ! } ' . The sent of Lord Iddeslolgl was vacant. Upon him , as the lirsl business eulogies were made. In England no ad journments are made anywhere for a death and no memorials are placed on the minutes The atmosphere around the black rod o Admhal Drummoud was blacVer than hi wand. The lord chancellor smacKed hU lip as he read the queen's speech , Humoring wit ! gusto on the ten "Ps" which It contained Then speeches followed on the queen' spet'cli , and Lord Huischell made the stereo typed tory announcement that the govern ment would strongly tight Irish home rule.

Pnrnell , look- ng palo and feeble , was also loudly wcl- omcd , but when Gladstone came the rafters vcro endangered. As L. J. Jennings went jp the gangway the liberals scowled , rcmem- jtulng that his latest book , published last vcek , Is uncomplimentary to Gladstone. Jut , generally , little interest was shown , not sven when the orchid and eyeglass of Cham- erlaln their "Joe John " beamed ( , , Imper ially on Ids friends and foes. The galleries , however , were not yet open , xccpt the reporters' , which was crammed nd echoed with the scratch of pens. Now came the usual farce. Strangers cannot join lie devotions ot the house , so the reporters , Iko wretched sinners , were cast out Into tlio utermost darkness of the lobbies. Party nlmositles were then soothed by an cxelti- ivo prayer from the chaplain , the Hon. and tov. F. E. C. Byng , whoso first wlfo was a Ister-ln-law of Lady Miles , who figured In he Colin Campbell caso. Then the heathen opoi tors were re-admitted and the galleries were opened , Mrs. Gladstone taking a seat o glance embraces at her Tom , while Leonard Jerome's daughter was shooi ng proud glances at her .Randolph as he sat nirsllng almost with explanations. Among ho new members who teak the oath was Dr. Jobertson , of Brighton , who was blind. He vas led amid friendly cheers to the desk by ils tory colleague , William Marriott , the ad- ocalo .general. Liberal , ana especially Irish cheers , also greoled the sneaker's reference o the Liverpool vacancy , and when ho said hat Paxton was elected to sit for Belfast , and a letter was read from McCarthy saying 10 would sit for Dcrry. li ish groans greeted ho new war minister , William HenrySuiith , vhon he announced fresh procedure rules , xmld some Parnellito exclamations oJ "G.ig , sag , gag.

The technical business over , ho received a sign Irom Iho speaker ind lose , with a red camella in his button inle , amid a profound and complimentary silence and looking as cool as a great actor on a one hundreth night. At his lirst word , Mr. Gladstone put his hand to his ear , lean- ng on his elbow , as ho Is wont when ho Is very attentive. A rustle it was Lady Ran dolph leaning against the lattice of the .idles * gallery. Then the ex-chancellor of the exchequer delivered a lucid speech. It s nlvcn eloquently and in a solid , states manlike manner. It was a speech that was studiously moderate- and lasted about thirty- ive minutes. Then Mr. W. II. Smith , successor in the leadetship , followed in a dry , olliclal and lommercial stylo. Ho was a good foil for the Jrilliant orators who preceded him. Next came Mr. Gladstone , who was In line voice and evidently full of energy and hope. His speech was principally occupied In lauding his old secretary , Lord Iddeslcigh. 2sToxt came the dummies , who had been selected to move and second the queon's address , and Lhey prattled out tlio speeches prepared for them by the cabinet. Again Mr. Gladstone arose , after drinking a tumbler of eggnog , and made another speech amid the cheers of the house.

"I wanted to got to this town the worst wav , but 1 didn't have a pent. It was too cofd to sleal a rJde , so 1 hiado up my mind to get into the best car of tlio train and trust to luck.

My plug hat , which was not the best in the world , was for obvious reasons tilted on the back of my head. The conductor came down tlio aisle of the car. Never before did a ticket-puncher make such rapid progress. Ho llittcd from aisle to uislo like a uutterlly. Pretty soon I felt his hot breath on the back of mv neck , and then 1 heard him yell , 'Ticket , please ! ' I was too much interested in the passing scenery to pay and attention to tlio hoarse , rasping voice. There was a moment of intense silence , during which my heart boat a loud accompaniment lethe the pulling of the engine , any then I felt the conductor's hand fall heavily upon my shoulder. The concussion was so great Unit my plug hat fell oil' into the snow. The conductor stood aghast when I withdrew ray uncovered head and looked angrily into his pale face. " 'You've done it !
