WASHINGTON, February 9.-BANKS, yesterday, in appealing to STEVENS against pressing a vote, used tho following language: "I believe, that a day or two devoted to the subject of reconstruction of the Government will bring us to a solution in which we shall agree, in which the two houses shall agree, sud in which the people of the country will sustain us, and in which tho President will give us his support." This speech gives rise to various specu? lations. It ia ?im?rsiood, however, that BANKS was frequently in counsel with Southerners recent? ly here, and that he favors their proposed policy. BANKS intimated that .any Congressional policy would be futile in operation if opposed by the Exe? cutive. . We must have laws in which the Execu? tive will co-operate in order to make those laws effective. If we fail to secure co-operation in laws, it is our duty to drop law-making and consider the purposes and the position of the President himself.

In the course of conversation he paid that gentleman a high com? pliment for the magnificent gift in behalf of the educational interests of the South. Mr. PEABODY replied, said: "He had some knowledge of the official cares bearing upon the Executive, and appreciated his ef? forts to restore the lately rebellious States to their full relations to the Federal Government." Alluding to his residence in England, he said: "There was a more friendly feeljpg among the people and the Government of that country than heretofore.'' HENEY GELDES, of Kentucky, whose death was announced to-day, served in the war of 1812 under Gen. SHELBY, in both Houses of the Kentucky Legislature, and nine years in Congress.

In the Internal Bevenue Bill the leading'ideas is the riddance of the tax on manufactures at the earliest possible moment. The present Govern? ment wanta to forbid this immediately, hence this partial action. The articles entering largely into the cost of living, such as salt, leather, cooking and kitchen utensils, scales, engines, and clothing made from taxed staples, are exempt. | stony articles now paying two per cent., such as glue, wagons used for farming or freighting pur ' poses, as also butter and cheese,' ore exempted. A section is added, refunding the amount paid on the raw material entering into their manufacture. Many articles are exempt because the expense of collecting exceeds the tax. Boxes, bottles and barrels are exempt, if their contents are taxed, j The Cotton tax remains unchanged. The tax on j Cane Sugar is placed at a uniform rate of one cent j per pound. . The liquor tax is unchanged, but the-license for; 1 distilleries is increased from $100 to $500. Dia- J filiations i rom. apples and peaches -are free ; Grape Brandy 50 cents ; Wine unchanged.

The following Bill, proposed by Senator Wn> LiAMs, of Oregon, and reported upon favorably by the Committee on Reconstruction, has boen the subject of much, and spirited,'debate within the last few days : A BTLL TO PBOYXDE FOB THE KOBE EFFICIENT QOV EENMEST OF THE TSBV ?BECTIONART STATES. Whereas, The pretended State Governments of the late so-called Confederate States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Missis? sippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, and Arkansas, were set up without the authority of Congress, and without the sanction of the people; and Whereas, The so pretended Governments afford no adequate protection for life or property, and countenance and encourage lawlessness and crime; and Whereas, It is necessary that peace and good order should be enforced in the so-called States, until loyal and Republican State Governments eau be legally established; therefore, Be il enacted by ti ie Senate and Bouse of Repre? sentatives of Oie united Slates of America in Con? gress assembled, That the so-callea States shall be divided into military districts and made subject to the military authority of the United States, as hereinafter proscribed; and for that purpose Vir? ginia shall constitute the 1st District; North Caro? lina and South Carolina the 2d District; Georgia. Alabama and Florida the 3d District; Mississippi and Arkansas the 4th District, and Louisiana and Texas the 5th District. "SEO. 2. And be it furOier enacted, that it shall be the duty or the General of the Army to assign to the command of each of said Districts an officer of the Regular Army not below the rank of Briga? dier-General, and to detail a sufficient military forco to enable such officer to perform his duties and enforce bis authority in the district to which he is assigned. SEO. 3. And be it fiirtiicr enacted, That it shall be the duty of each officer assigned as aforesaid to protect all persons in their rights of person and property, to suppress insurrection, disorder and vi?lenos, and to punish or causo to be punished all disturbers of the public ?eaco and criminals; and to this encl ha may allow cavil tribunals to take jurisdiction of and to try offenders, or when, in his judgment, it may be necessary for the trial of offenders, he shall have power to organize military commissions or tribunals .for that purpose, any? thing in the Constitution and laws of tue so-called States to the contrary notwithstanding; and all legislative and judicial proceedings or processes to prevent or control the proceedings of said military tribunals, and all interference by said pretended State Governments with the exercise of military authority under thia Act, shall be void and of no effect. Ssa 4. And be il farther enacted, That the Courts and Judicial officers of the United States shall not issue writs of habeas corpus in behalf of persons In military custody, unless some Commissioner or officer on duty in the district wherein the person is detained shall endorse upon said petition a state? ment certifying, upon honor, that he has knowl? edge or information aa to the cause and circum? stances of the alleged detention, and that ho believes the same to be wrongful; and, farther, that he believes that the indorsed petition is pre? ferred in good faith adel in furtherance of justice, and not to hinder br ' delay tnt) puLisbraent of Grime. All persons put under military arrest by virtus of thin act shall be tried without unneces? sary delay, and no cruel or unusual punishment shall be inflicted. "SEC. 5. And be il further enacted, That no sen? tence of any Military Commission, or tribunal, hereby authorized, affecting the life or liberty of any person, shall be exocnted until it is approved by the superior officer in command of the District; and the laws and regulations for the government of the army shall not bo affected by this act, ex? cept ia so far as they conflict with its provisions." PROM GREAT BRITAIN THE QUEEN'S SPEECH ON THE OPENING tu? PARLIAMENT. . . LOSDON, February 5.-Queen?Victoria opened the adjourned session of the British Parliament in aersonattwo o'clock this afternoon, her Majesty glim; in state from Buckingham Palace to. the ouse of Lords in order to read her speech from the throne on the occasion, A' cold and dreary morning ushered in a rainy, heavy day, and the popular belief or superstition that such royal pageants are specially favored with One weather, or "Queen's weather," as they term it, utterly failed of realization in this instance. - The Queen arrived at Buckingham Palace from Windsor at eleven o'clock in the morning. . She tras met'by the Cabinet, ministers and great officers of State, the heralds, pursuivants and other func? tionaries, when the procession was formed. Tho procession left Buckingham Palace at one o'clock LD. the afternoon. There was a fine display bf mili? tary, but the plumes of the soldiers were draggled, Eiud there uruforms rendered dull with heavy spar? kles of rain. ? ,. . There were large numbers, crowds of people out, but they were almost hidden under the forest of expanded umbrellas. There was no enthusiasm among them: there was no oheer as the Queen drove up to Westminster Hall or when she alighted, and no cheers for the Prince of Wales? The mili? tary band played the air "God Save the Queen," in really fine style; but the music appeared to fall on what may be termed sullen ears, for the people made no responses. .. On reaching the Parliament the scene in the House of Lords was magnificent. The nobility, including the peers, their wives and dignitaries of the Church, were present in gorgeous costumes and robes. The peeresses ana other ladies were in full dress, their costumes guttering with dia? monds, ana many of them, entitled by rank, with coronets on their heads'. They wore cloaks of ermine. Queen Victoria, who was superbly robed, was duly announced by the heralds, and was received on entering the House by the vast audience rising to their feet. Her Majesty ascended the throne, the Premier of England, the Lord Chancellorand other officers of the Crown taking their proper positions near her. The members of the House of Commons having ?been duly summoned, a large number of the hon? orable gentlemen attended at the bar of the House of Loras. When silence was obtained the Queen rose and read her speech in a clear and firm tone of voice. At the conclusion of the speech the session of Parliament was declared duly open.and the royaloor tege, having reformed, returned to Buckingham, Palace. The scene at the return waa even, if pos? sible, more dismal than that on the approach. Everybody in the crowd was thoroughly soaked with the rain. As the"proce89ionJpassed along, the Queen was greeted with cries of "'Reform 1" "Re? form 1" The people chaffed and made fun, of.the police and soldiery. There was not a cheer Riven. The police behaved with very great forbearance and mildness, or trouble would have ensued,, as the large crowds which were turned out were-evi? dently ripe for mischief. There was a general prediction uttered that the: present is the ' Parliament which Queen Victoria; will open in person. V . j! . There are great preparations being made here for a grand refoi m demonstration on the 11th: instant. The people assert that they will on that ; day show ber Majesty the Queen a procession ! worth seeing, The bitterness of the popular fool? ing toward the Cabinet, and even Crown, ia undia-, guised. There are placards posted in every street; saying that "men without votes are serfs. Even! therpersonal regard entertained for Queen Victoria: ia in danger of Being overshadowed by the furor of. reform. . ?' ..' ' '.' 1 The Queen has resolved to appear in public more ; frequently. A series of royal receptions, to take1 place at the Palace, commenced to-day. The followingia tho speech mudo by th? Queen. at the reopening of the Imperial Parliament; ??' l?v'LORDS: In again recrki^ 'io yprir''advice ! arid assistance, I am happy, to informyou that my relation with foreign Powers are on a friendly aha ' satisfactory looting. I hope tba* the war in whioh ; Prussia, Austria and Italy have been engaged, may lead to tho establishment of a durable peace iu Europe. I b?ve suggested to tho'<3crernment of the united States a mode by which the questions pending between, the two countries, arising out of the Civil war, may receive , an amicable aolntion, and which met, aa I trust it will be in a correspon? ding spirit, will remove all grounds of possible roia and^stAnding and promote relations of cordial friendship. ' . ' . . The war between Spain and the Republics of Chili and Peru still continues, the good ofSoes of I nit ?tovernmentj? corrjnirrt?on-'with. that of the 1 Emperor of the French haying failed to effect a j rocoaciliation; If, either by agreement between tho partios themselves or by the mediation of any other friendly power, peace should bo restored, tho objects which I have had in view will bo equally attained. The discontent prevailing in some of tho prov? inces of the Turkish Empire has brokon out in ac? tual insurrection in Crete. In common with my allies, tho Emperor of the French and the Empe? ror of Enssia, I have abstained from any actico in? terference in these internal disturbances, but joint efforts have been directed to bringing about im? proved relations botwoen tho Porte and ita Chris? tian subjects, not inconsistent with the sovereign rights of tho Sultan. Thc protracted negotiations which arose out of tho .accoptance by Princo Charles of Hohenzollern of the Governorship of tho Danubian Principalities have beoa happilly terminated by on arrangement which lins been sanctioned by the concurrence of all the Powers signatories of tho treaty of 1856. Resolutions in favor of a more intimate union of the Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have been passed bv thoir several Legis? latures, and delegates duly authorized; and repre? senting all classes of colonial porty and opinion, have concurred in the conditions upon which such on union may bo best effected in accordance with thoir wishes. A bill will be submitted to you whioh, by tba consolidation ol colonial interesta and re? sources, will f,'ivo strength to the sovereign pro vin ces as members of the same ompire, and animated by feelings of loyalty to the same soveroiga. I have heard with doop sorrow that the calamity of famino pressed heavily on'my subjects in some. 8arts of India. Instructions were issued to my overnmont in that country to make the utmost exertions to mitigate the distress which prevailed during the autumn of last year. The blessings of an abundant harvest has since that time improved the condition of the trailering districts. Thc porsevering efforts and unscrupulous asser? tions of treasonable conspirators have, during the last autumn, excited the nopes of some disaffected persons in Ireland, and the apprehensions of the loyal population; but the firm and temperate exer? cise of tko powers intrusted to the Executive, and the hostility manifested against tho conspiracy by mon of all classes and deeds, have greatly tended to roBtoro public confidence, and nave rendered hopeless any attempt to disturb the general tran? quility. I trust that you will consequently be en abled to dispense with the continuance of any ex? ceptional legislation forthat part of my dominions. I acknowledge with deep thank/oin oss to Al? mighty God, the great decreaso whioh has taken placo in the cholera, and in the pest which has at? tacked our cattle. But the continued prevalence of the latter in some foreign countries, and its oc? casional reappearance in this, will render necessa? ry some special measures of precaution; and I trust that the visitation of the former will lead to increased attention to those sanitary measures which experience has shown to be the best preven? tive. Estimating as of tho highest importance an adequate ra jaly of puro and wholesome water, I have directodthe issue of a commission to inquire into tho host means of permanency securing such i supply for the metropolis a.-.d for the principal towns in the densely p?opled districts of the king lom. . Gentlemen of tho House of Commons : I have lirected the estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before you, They have been prepared with a lue regard to economy and the requirements of tho public service. You will, I anj assured, give your ready assent to a moderate expenditure cal? culated to improve the condition of my soldiers md to lay the foundation of an effioiont Army of Reserve. My Lord and Gentlemen : Your attention will igain be called to the state of the representation jf the population in Parliament, and I trust that v onr d?lib?rations, conducted in a spirit oLmodora ;ioi. and mutual forbearance, may lead to roe adop ion of measures which, without undue disturb ince of ihe balance of political power, shall freely attend tho elective franchise. Tho frequent occurrence of disagreement bo ,ween tho employers of labor and their workmen, ;ausiug much private Buffering and public loss, ind occasionally leading, as ia alleged, to acts of ratrage and violence, has induced me to issue a ;ommissiou to inquire into and report upon the organization of the trades-unions and other soci?? t?s, whether of workmen or employers, with pow a to suggest any improvement of - the laws for '.heir own benefit. Application will be made to rou for Parliamentary powers, which will be ne? cessary to moke this inquiry effective. I have di? rected bills to be laid before von for the extension >f other trades of the beneficial provisions of the lactory acta, specially reported by the Boyal Com nission on the employment of children, and for 'or better regulation, according to the principle of hese acts, of workshops where women and chil Iren are largely employed. The conditions of the mercantile marine has at? rae ted my serious attention. Complaints are nade that the supply of seamen is deficient, and he provision for their health and discipline on roora ship ora imperfect. Measures will be sub? mited to you with a viet,' to increase the efficiency >f thia important service. I have observed with satisfaction the relaxation ?ecently introduced into the navigation laws of Trance. I have' expressed to 'the Emperor my ?ottdmeas to submit to Parliament e. proposal for he extinction, on equitable terujs, of the exemp ion from local charges on slapping which are still :n joyed by a limited number of individu?is in Brit sh ports, and have in anticipation of this step nl :eady admitted British ships to the advantages of he new law. A bill upon this subject will forth vith be laid before you. A bill will also be submitted to you for making Hitter provision for tho arrangement of the affairs >f railway companies which are unable to meet en rageme-nts. Measures will bo submitted to yon for improv ng the management of the sick and other poor in he metropolis, and for a redistribution of some of he charges for relief therein. - Your attention will also be called to the amend? ment of tho law of Ban kr aptcy, to the consolidation if the Courts of Probate and Divorce and Ad niralty, and to the means of disposing with greater dispatch and frequency of the increasing )usin'iss in the Superior Courts of Common Law .nd ul tho Assiaes. ' "?Y" .. The relations between .landlord and tenant in ireland have engaged my attention, and a bill will >e laid before you which, without interfering with he rights of property, will offer direct encourage: sent to occupiers of land to improve theil lolding, and provide a simple mode of obtaining ?mponsation for permanent improvement. ;;' I commend to your careful consid?ration these end other measures which will bo brought before rou, and I pray that your labors may, under, the (lessing ol Providence, conduce to the prosperitj if the country, and the happiness of my people. ?

PALACE OP THE TUILERIES, 19th. Jan., 1867. Monsieur le Minister: For some years past it has been asked whether oar institutions have roached their limit of perfec? tion, or whethor further improvements ought to bo realized; heneo has orison an uncertainty much to bo regretted, and which ought to bo put an end to. Hitherto it has been your duty to struggle cour? ageously, in my name, to lapel unseasonable de? mands, and to leave to mo the initiative of useful reforms, when the proper moment should arrive. At present, I believe ic possible tc give to the in? stitutions of the empire all the development of which they are susceptible, and to tho public lib? erties a further extension, without compromising the authority which the nation has confided to me. 'Ibo plan whioh I have traced out for myself consists in correcting the imperfections which time has revealed, and in introducing tho improve? ments compatible with our manners, since govern? ing consists in profiting by the experience ac? quired, and in foreseeing tho wants or the future. The object of the decree of the ' 24th November, 1860, was to associate tho Sonnte and the Legisla? tivo Body more directly in the policy of the Gov? ernment, but the discussion on the Address has not produced the results whioh were expected from it. It has occasBionally uselessly inflamed public opinion, given rise to unprofitable discussions, and caused the loss ola considerable time, valuable for business. I believe that, without weakening the prerogatives of the deliberativo Powers, the Ad? dress may be replaced by tho ' right of interpella? tion, wisely regulated. Another modification has seemod to me neces? sary in the relations of tho Government -with the ^reat Bodies of the State. I have thought that, by sending the Ministers into tho Senate and the Legislative Body, hy virtue of a special delegation, ;o take part in certain discussions, I would better ltilize tho strength of my Government without de? parting from the terms of tho Constitution, which tdmits no joint responsibility between the Minis? ters, and makes them dependent solely on tbe Thiel of the State. But the reforms which it is proper to adopt night not to stop there. A hill will bo proposed o confer exclusively on the Correctional Tribunals urisdiotion in case of Press offences, and thus to mppress the discretionary power of tho Govern nent. It is equally necessary to regulate, legisla ively, the right of meeting, still koeping it within he limits which public safety requires. I said last .oar that my Government desired to go forward on hin grr-und, capable of supporting authority and ?berty. By tho measures which Thave just indi? cted, my words are realized; I do not disturb the oundations which fifteen years of calm and pros >erity have consolidated; I strengthen them fur? ber by drawing closer together my relations with he great public Powers, by assuring by the law to ll citizens fresh guarantees; by achioving, in fine. he~crowning of the edifice raised by the national ritt. Whereupon, Monsieur le Ministro, I pray God to lave you m his holy keeping. NAPOLEON. THE DECREE. His Majesty's letter is fellowed by the following rn penal decree ; Napoleon, hy the grace of God and the national rill, Emperor of the French. To all whom those presents may concern, groet ''wishing to give to the discussions in the great todies of the State on the home and foreign policy f the government greater utility and precision, re do hereby decme : ARTICLE 1. The members of the Senate and of he Legislative Bod/ may address interpellations 3 the government:" ABT. 2. Any Jemand to exercise that right must e made in writing and signed by five members at ?st, and must contain a summary of the Object f the questions to be put; it must be delivered to lie President, who will communicate it to the Cluster of State, and refer it to the Bureaus for lamination. ABT. 3. If two Bureaus of the Senate; or four of tie Legislative Body, express the opinion that the uestions may be brought forward, the Chamber ill fix a day for the discussion. AST. 4. After thc close of tho debate, the Cham? er pronounces the order of the day pure and Birn? ie, or refers the matter to the government. ABT. 5. Tho" order of the day, pure abd simple, as always the priority. ABT. 6. The reference to the Government can nly be pronounced in the following terms : "The ena te (or the Legislative Body), calls the alton? ion af the Government to tho object of tho inter eLlation." Lu that case, an extract of the deliberat? ions is transmitted to the Ministry of State, ABT. 7. Each of the M mistara may, by special uthority of the Emperor, bo charged, in con lnction with the Minister of Stats, the Presidents nd Ministers of the Council of State, to represent lie Government before the Senate or Legislativo lo^^to^e^iaeuMiofl of business, or of par "ABT.18^vre''aBrogatod-articles " 1 and 2 of Qur ecree of the 34th November, 1.860, whioh declare li?t tho Senate and the Legislative Body shall vote very -oar at the opening of the session au ad ress in reply .to the speech from the Throne.

BOOTEE, Minister of State. OFFICIAL EXPLANATION. The Moniteur appends the following' explana iry statement regarding the important measures [?eeified above: "A few words will suffice to explain the spirit and rape of the decree just given. "That of the 24th dvember, I860, in introducing; intq the French in, bitutions the annual vote bf an address, had for its bject to associate the great bodies" of the. State tore ?Urfectry -with thepolicybfth'e Government, hat measure, which anticipated public apinion, aa, received-.as a new and striking testimony of | ia Sovereign's; liberal initiative anqf qf his wian to rand representative government on "solid bases, hero uould.be no question of weakening 'the im ortont position of the Chambers, but, on the mtrary, to render it more practical and- more ef cacious in, freeing it from the imperfections which st '-years' experience had' manifested. The de ates in the Chambers are incontestably of a na? ve to exercise a legitimate and satutary influence u the march of events, when they have for result > bring to light public feeling on a real and pres ot interest. Brit every one was struck with tho ict that the discussions on the address tend more ad more to depart from.' .the' fine traced by th? peech from tntf Throne >o which' it waa tQ reply, /anting, therefore', a precise basis and clearly de? ned subject, they run the risk sometimes of wan ering into the region of .vague theories and ab tract ideas; and other times, of losing themselves i the minutest details of the administration, er these conditions, they are liable to be inuou? i itely prolonged, and tend rather to heat men's linds than to eluoidate questions-and rather to ivor verbiage than business, which they deprive j f valuable erne. " Already "their duration has as timed proportions whioh could no thave been fore sen, and which, from the experience of the past in Tance and that of other countries, could not have eon expected. (L) This stete of things has led I ? complainte which the -Gojomnvait could not but ike into consideration. - The decree -proposes ? sot aside these inconveniences, while: main? lining intact the participation of the ? Chambers nd strengthening by defining it. What he debates could gain in sincerity and in public itility, when they are based on a circumscribed | question, known beforehand, hearing on a serious nd precise interest, is so evident that there is no teed to enlarge on it. Such is tho advantage of in erpellatians. The decree, faithful to the spirit rhioh inspired H, decides that the majority of the Sureau ia not necessary to authorize such' de oands.3 The favorable opinion of two out" bf five n the Senate, and four out of nine in the legiaia ive body, sum?se to authorize . them. That is a guarantee that the tribune will be open to every ?use really worthy of au exceptional debate... The 3 bamber can express ita opinion ia twowaya-by be order of the day, pure and simple, if it finds Ho interpellation groundTesa; and by reference to be Government, ff the question merits particular attention, The Government ia thus placed in a 1 position to know tho sentiments of the Chamber, i I ind to pay the attention, to'?iem required by pub? ic interest and its own. responsibility. , To go farther would be to rmi the risk of altering the har- 1 nony of the powers, such &s they-are regulated by the Constitution, and. to .exceed the range of a simple decree. The, Oases Jh which the'legislative body and the Renate ?an express a direct and ab- ! aol ate judgment, terminating in a vote of adoption . or refusal, are rigorously defined in the fundamen? tal compact. Independently of special laws, those i of the contingent of tis? army, supplementary ! cre<?!! 9, and budget fornlsh every year numerous occaai':.'8 for the' deputies to' recrnlarfy exercise I their control over public affairs. The substitution ] of interpellations for the Address has, aa a necea-. sary corrae.guep.ee. tba prcJ^osis' which concoma 1 the MlntetersJ and which gives a greater latitude | to the sovereign in the-designation of the organs j u?arged to speak in bia name, and, In certain cases. . moro authority to the explanations furnrtjhod. But j it waa requisite that the terms of the Constitution 1 should "not", be : ontpassed, ' which' provided ' that ? the Minis tors shall only be dependant on tse Chief af the State, that they are only responsible each in ; what concerns himself for tho acts of the Govern? ment; that there is na solidarity among them, and that they cannot be members of the legislativ ' body. The decree does not, nor could it, make any I change in those prescriptions; and, therefore, the Ministers only present .themselves before the Chambers as delegates from the Chief of tho State, j on the Decisions of which he will romain the only i -judge;"the Council of State, however, preserving Ita ooastitutional'jiole. Wb*t;trieA>ouniry rerrair8a,| abovo oyeirything is;- that truth, iustico and the general interest may issue triumphantly from the 1 public discussions. : In that potoS -of Wew, this day's decree will be oonsiderod -, by all impartial, Tnrnds OB realizing a notable'progress."

Tho death of this young vdfo has cast a cloud of sor? row over those who know and loved her, which Hmo can never dispeL Not many months ago she was led to the altar, a blooming and happy bride. How many fond hopes and aspirations of happiness were indulged In; but, alas for au human hopos, the destroying angel Death laid his hand upon her, and her chaste spirit took its flight back to God. May those who mourn her untimely end reconcile their sorrow to the boliof that their loss is her eternal gain.
