LONDON, February 7.—At a great meeting at Birmingham yesterday letters were read from John Bright and Jéseph Chamberlain, expressing sympathy with the persecuted Jews in Russia. THE QUEEN’S SPEECH. LONDON, February 7.—-Parliament reas- sembled to-day. The Queen’s speech is as foillows: “*My lords and gentlemen: It is with much satisfaction l again invite your advice and assistance in the couduct of public affairs. Ihave given my approval to the marriage between Prince Leopold and the Princess Helena of Weldeck. I have every reason to believe this wil! be a happy union. I continue in relations of cordial har- mony with all foreign powers. The treaty for the cession of Thessaly to Greece has now been executed in its main provisions. The transfer of sovereignty and occupation was effected in a manner honorable to allconcerned. In concert with the Presi- dent of the French Republic, I have given careful attention to the affairs of Exypt, where existing arrangements imposed on me special obligations. I shali use my influence to maintain the rights already estabiished, whether by firmaus of the Suitan or by various international engagements in a spirit favorable to the good government of the country and prudeat developments in its in- stitutions. I have pleasure in informing you that the restoration of peace beyond the northwestern frontier, together with the continued internal tranquility, plentiful seasons and inerease of revenue bas enabied iny government in India to resume works of public utility which had been sus- pended and devote its attention to measures for the furtber improvement of the condition of the people. fhe convention with the Transvaal bas been ratified by the represen- tative assembly and I have seen no reason to qualify my anticipations to its advantageols working. Ii have, however, to fre- rret that, although hostilities have not been renewed in Basutoland the country still remains unsettled. “Gentlemen of the House of Commous: The estimates for the service of the year are in an advanced stage of preparation and wiil be promptly submitted toyou. My lords and genilemen, my com- munications with France on the subject of the new commercial treaty have not been closed. They will be prosecuted by me, as I have already acquainted you with my desire to couclude a treaty favorable to extended in- tercourse between the twonations, to whose close amity I attach so greata value. The trade of the country, both domestic and foreign. has forsome time been improving, and the; mildness of the winter has been e y suited to farming operations. Be rOspects are, I trust, thus opened for the classes immediateiy concerned in agrieulture. The public revenue, which is greatly, though not always, at once affected by the state of industry and commerce, has not yet exhibited the upward movement iu proportion to their increased activity. ‘**The condition of Lreland at this time, as com pared with that which I described at the beginning of last year shows signs of im- provement, and encourages the hope that | perseverance in the cause you have pursned | will be rewarded with the happy fresults which areso much to be desired. Justice has been administered with greater eflicacy, and the intimidation which has been em- ploved to deterthe occupiers of tand from fulfilling their obligatious and from availing themselves of the act of last session shows, apes the whole, diminished force. My ‘: efforts, through the bounty 7 So preridonce, have been favored by atf/abindant harvest in that portion of th Ao don In addition to a vigorous exe- cuti6& pf: the provisions of the ordinary law, I have not hesitated, under the necessity of the case, to employ largely the exceptional -powers entrusted to me for the protectivn of life and property by the two acts of the last session. You will be invited to deal with proposals for the establishment in the English and Welsh counties of local self- government which has long been enjoyed by the towns, togeiher with the enlarged powers of the administration, and with the financial charges, which will give you the op- portunity of consideriog, both as to town aad county, What may.be the proper extent and most equitable and provident form of contribution from the imperial taxes in relief of local charges. These proposais in so far as they are financial will apply to the whole of Great Britain. It will be ne- cessary to reserve the case of Ireland for separate consideration. -Ia connection with the generals bject of local administration [ have directed a measure to be epi yee and su» mitted to you for the refurm of the ancient and:distinguished corporation ofjLondon,and forthe extension of a municipal government to the metropolis at large. The bilis will be again laid before you with which during last session, notwithstanding the length of its duration and your unwearied labors, it was found im- possible to proceed. I refer particularly to those concerning bankruptcr, the suppression of corrupt practices at elections and the con- servancy -of rivers and the prevention of floods. Measures will also be proposed to vou with respect to the criminal code and to the consolidation and amendment of the laws affeeting patents, Theinterests of some por- tion of the kingdom haye suffered pecun- iarly of late years from the extreme pressure of public business on your time and strength, but I trust that during the seasion you may be able to consider the bills which will be presented to you in relation of entail and of educational endowments in Scotland, and to improve the means of education in Wales. I commend these and other subjects with confidence to your- care, and it is my earnest prayer that your wisdom and energy may, under the blessing of God. prove equal to the varied and increasing needs of this ex- tended empire.’’ The speech was read by Lord Selborne.

Over Certifications of Checks.

Beck has information tothe effect that reputable banks generally desire the passage of this law. The over cer ification of checks so it is alleged is in induiged in by afew reckless banks which are thus enabled to do a business in excess ef their legitimate means and those banks which make it a rule to comply with the law want tosee others compelled to abide by it. Senator Beck says the importance of the measure is generally conceded, and he has no doubt ofits ultimate passage. ° Gen. Hancock. LITTLE ROCK, February 7.—Gen. W. S.
