WASHINGTON, February 9.-BANKS, yesterday, in appealing to STEVENS against pressing a vote, used the 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, and in which the people of the country will sustain ns, and in which the President will give us his support." This speech gives rise to various specu? lations. It ia understood, however, that BANES 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. Wo 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 purposesgnd 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, f?d appreciated his ef? forts tr? restore the* lately rebellious States to their Adi relations to the Federal Government. " Alluding to his residence in England, he said: '.There was a more friendly feeling among the people and the Government of that country than . heretofore.'* HENEY GBTDEB, 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 hine years in Congress. He was a, member of the Reconstruction Committee, and ! -was untiring in kindly offices for the people of the vunfortunato States. The National Democratic Committee met at the National Hotel, with a view to an election of Dele gates .to the Conventions of each State, to consi- ! ?er the state of the country, A proposition of the 1 Pennsylvania Committee, to hold a Nation il Con- j ventionat Harrisburg, May 21st, was favorably ; entertained. Its. adoption is probable, with sug? gestions to the State Committees, to order oleo- : tiona of delegates forthwith, who may act in an emergency. WASHINGTON, February 10.--The New Orleans ^Biot Committee will report to-morrow, condemning '. .Mayor MONBOE and censuring the President.

' In the Internal Revenue Bill the leading ideas , is the riddance of the tax on manufactures at the i earliest possible moment. The present Govern? ment wants to forbid this immediately, hence thia j ; i^?rtial action. The articles entering largely into ? 'the cost of hying, such. as salt, leather, cooking 1 and kitchen utensils, scales, engines, and clothing j made from taxed staples, are exempt. ( Many articles now paying two per cent., such as glue, wagons used for farming or freighting par poses, ss .also butter and cheese, Are exempted. A - section is added, refunding the amount paid on the raw mateJul entering into their manufacture. Many articles aro exempt because the expenseof collecting exceeda tho tax. Boxes, bottles and E barrels are exempt,-if their contenta are taxed, j The Cotton tax remains unchanged. The tax on f 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. Dis- j .tillations from apples and peaches are free ; Grape ? Brandy 50 cents ; Wine unchanged. Incomes under $1000 are exempt, and the excess is taxed fire per cent Rent, taxes, insurance, !* and repairs ta bo deducted from income, making j v the average exemption M500. .] The violation of th? Distillery Law is punisha? ble by fine, and impr. Virement of not lees than ? two, nor more than ten years. / ? There is a provision that whenever any article is ^ offered for sale at. prices less than the tax, such \ article shall bo subject to seizore. i i ? i ( ^ ' ' ' Congreaa?onta. ' i ..? SENATE. .

BEY moved the prenons question, and the Bill was passed, 20 to l-l. Messrs. DAVIS and RAYMOND voting nay. STEVENS' Bill was resumed. Mr. RAYMOND said it is clear there ia not una? nimity enough to secure the effectiveness of the measure. None of the propositions before the House had sufficient friends to enforce them, even .if .passed.' . . . ?, The time had arrived for Congress to concoct some measure which would secure effective unan? imity and command the support of every depart? ment of the Government. He proposed that the whole matter be referred to a committee of five or seven, of which STEVENS be Chairman, to report a Bill by Wednesday for the protection of life and liberty in the South, and for the speedy readmis? sion of those States. In the course of a long debate, Mr. 'SCHELLE BAEQEE said the New Orleans Biot Committee would, on Monday next, present a Bill for the civil organization of the States.

The following BiU, proposed by Senator WIL? HAMS, of Oregon, and reported upon favorably by the Committee on Reconstruction, has been the subject of much, and spirited, debate within the lost few days : A BILL TO PBOVTDE FOB THE MORE EFFICIENT GOV? ERNMENT OF Tmt INSUBBECTIONABY STATES. Whereas, The pretended State Governments of the late so-call?d 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 m the so-called States, until loyal and Republican State Governments can be legally established; therefore, Re il enacted byjlie Senate and House of Repre? sentatives of the United'Slates of America An Con? gress assembled, That the so-called States shall be divided into military districts and made subject to the military authority of the United States, os hereinafter prescribed; and for that purpose Vir? ginia shall constitute the 1st District; North Caro hna and South Carolina the 2d District; Georgia, Alabama and Florida the 3d District; Mississippi and Arkansas the 4th District, and Louisiana and Texas tho 5th District. "SEO. 2. And be it further enacted, that it shall be the duty of the General of the Anny 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 force to enable such officer to perform his duties and enforce his authority in the district to which he is assigned. SEO. 8. And be U further enacted, That it sholl be the duty of each officer assigned as aforesaid to protect all persons in their rights of person and property, to suppress insurrecnon, disorder and violence, and to punish or cause to be punished all disturbers of the public peace and criminals; and to this end he may allow civil 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 the so-called States to the contrary notwithstanding; u ' di legislative and judicial proceedings or process a 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 this Act, shall be void and of no effect. SEO. 4. Andbe it farOier enacted. That tho 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 certify in iv, upon honor, that he hasknowl adge or information as to the cause and circum? stances of the alleged detention, and that he behoves the same to be wrongful; and, further, that he behoves that the indorsed petition is pre? ferred in good faith and in furtherance of justice, and not to hinder or delay the punishment of crime.

FROM GREAT BRITAIN* THE QUEEN'S SPEECH ON THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. LANDON, February 5.-Queen^Victoria opened the idjoumed session of the British Parliament in Derson at two o'clock this afternoon, her Majesty ;oing in state from Buckingham Palace to the louse of Lords .in order to read her speech from he throne on the occasion. A cold and dreary morning ushered in a rainy, ?eovy day, and the popular belief or superstition ;hat such royal pageants aro specially favored with ?ne weather, or "Queen's weather," os they term it, utterly failed of realization in this instance. The Queen arrived at Buckingham Palaco from Windsor ot eleven o'clock in tue morning. She iras met by th a Cabinet ministers and great- officers if State, the heralds, pursuivants and other func uonaries, when the procession was formed. Tho sr .ession left Buckingham Palace at one o'clock XL the afternoon. There was A fine display nf mjli iarv, but the plumes of the soldiers were draggled, ina there uniforms rendered dull with heavy spar? kles of rain. There were large numbers, orowds of people out, but they were almost hidden under the forest of axpanded umbrellas. There was no enthusiasm among them: there was no oheer as the Queen drove up to Westminster Hall or when^ ehe alighted, ?nd no cheers for the Prince of Wales." Tho mili? tary bond played the air "God Save the Que on." in really fine style; but tho music appeared to fall pn what may be termed sullen ears, for the people oiade no responses, On reaching the Parliament tho scene in the House of Lords waa magriifio;?nt. The nobility, including the peers, their -wi ve? and* dignitaries of the Church, were present in 'gorgeous costumes and robes. The peeresses and other ladies were in full dress, their costumes guttering with dia? monds, and many of them, entitled by rank, with coronets on their heads. They wore cloaks of ermine. , , Qneen Victoria, who was superbly robod, was duly announced by the heralds, and was received on entoring the House by the vast audience rising to their feet. Her Majesty ascended the throne, the Premier of England, the Lord Chancellor and other officers of tho 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 HOUBO of Loras. When silence was obtained the Queen rose and read her Bpeech in a clear and firm tone of voice. At the conclusion of the speech the session .ol' Paxjj?inent was declared duly open.and the royal oor Jiege, having reformed, returned to Buckingham Palace. The scene at the return was even, ir pos? sible, more dismal thon that on the approach. Everybody in the crowd we? thoroughly soaked with the rain. As the^rooessiorifcassud afpng, ?he Qneen was greeted with cries of "Reform !" "Re ?rm 1" The people obaffed and made fun of the voil?* and soldiery. There wa* not a cheer given. The polic? behaved with very great forbearance and rnildn<;ss 0* trouble would have ensuod, os the largo crowds wfci?b. were turned out were evi? dently ripe for miechief. There was o general prediction* utteroa that jue present is the Parliament which QueCH victoria will open in person. There are great preparations being made here for a grand refoim demonstration ou tho 11th instant. The people assert that thoy will on that day show her Majesty tho Queen a procession worth seeing. The bitterness of tho popular feel* ing toward tho Cabinot, and oven Crown, is undis? guised. There are placards posted in every street saying that "men without votes are serfs.'* Eveu the personal regard entertained for Queen Victoria is in dauger of Being overshadowed by tho furor of reform. The Queen has resolved to appear in puohc moro frequently. A series of royal receptions, to take place afc the Palace, commenced to-day. The following ie the speech made by tho Queen at the reopening of the Imperial Parliament: MT LORDS: In again recurring to your advice ard assistance, I am happy to inform you that my relation with foreign Powers are on a friendly and satisfactory footing. ' I hope that the war in which Prussia, Austria and Italy hove been engaged, may lead to the establishment of? durablo pooec m Europe. I hove suggested to tho Government of tho United States ? modo by which the questions net?dinff between the two countries, arising out ol ?ie civil war, may receive an amicable rotation, and which met, as I trust i$ will bo in a correspon? ding spirit, will remove all grounds of possible mis? understanding and promote relations of cordial ^Th? war between Spain and the Republics of Chili and Peru atill continues, the good offices of the parties themselves or by the mediation of any other friendly power, peace should bo restored, the objects winch I have had in view will be equally attained.. The discontent prevailing in some of the prov? inces of the Turkish Empire has broken ont in ac? tual insurrection in Crete. In common with my allies, the Emperor of the French and the Empe? ror of Russia, x have abstained from any actice in? terference in these internal disturbances, but joint efforts have been directed to bringing about im? proved relations between the Porte and its Chris tian subjects, not inconsistent with the sovereign rights of the Sultan. The protracted negotiations which arose oat of the acceptance by Prince Charles bf Hohenzollern of tho Governorship of the Danubian Principalities hav<e been happilly terminated by an arrangement which has been sanctioned by the concurrence of all the Powers signatories of the treaty of 1856. Resolutions in favor of a more intimate union of j the Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick havo been passed by cheir several Legis? latures, and delegates daly authorized, and repre? senting all classes of colonial party and opinion, havo concurred in the conditions upon which such an union may be best effected in accordance with their wishes. A bill will bo submitted to voa which, by the consolidation ot colonial interests and re? sources, will give strength to the sovereign provin ces as memhars of the same empire, and animated by feelingjnoi loyalty to tho Bame sovereiga. I have heard- with deep sorrow that the calamity of faruine pressed heavily on my subjects m. some parts of India. Instructions were issued to my Govern aent in that country to make tho utmost exertions to mitigate the distress which prevailed during he autumn of last year. The blessings of < an abundant harvest has since that time improved ! the condition of tho suffering districts. The persevering efforts and unscrupulous asser? tions of treasonable conspirators have, during tho last autumn, excited the nopes of some disaffected persons in Ireland, and tue apprehensions of the ? - loyal population; but the firm ana temperate oxer- j eise of tho powers intrusted to the Executive, and '1 the hostility manifested against the ocnspirauy b men of all classes and deeds, have greatly tended J to restore public confidence, and have rendered : hopeless any attempt to disturb tho genorol tran- ; anility. I trust that you will consequently bo en obied to dispense with the contra uanco.of any ex? ceptional legislation for that part of mv dominions. ? I acknowledge with deep thankfulness to AI- , mighty God, the great decrease which has taken J place in the cholera, and in the pest which has at-. 6 tacked our cattle. But the continued prevalence I of the latter in some foreign countries, and its oe- jj casional reappearance in this, will render necessa- 1 ry aomo special measures of precaution; and I 5 trust that the visitation of tho former will lead to in cr oas ed attention to those sanitary measures 1 which experience has shown to be tho best preven- ? tive. Estimating aB of the highest importance an 1 adequate supply of pore and wholesome water, I F have directed the issue of a commission to inquire r into the best means of permanently securing such 1 % supply for the metropolis a^d for the principal a towns in the densely peopled districts Of wie king? dom. Gentlemen of the House of Commons : I have directed the estimates for the ensuing year to be [aid before you. They have been prepared with a lue regard to economy and tho requirements of tho public service, iou will, I am assured, give four ready assent to a moderato expenditure cal? culated to improve the condition o r my soldiers md to lay the foundation of an efficient Army of Reserve. My Lord and Gentlemen : Tour attention will igain bo called to the state of the representation )f the population in Parliament, and I trust that /our deliberations, conducted in a spirit of modera? tion and mutual forbearance, may lead to the adop- j z. lion of measures which, without undue disturb ince of tho balance of political power, shall freely extend the elective franchise. ; The frequent occurrence of disagreement be- ' ?ween the employers of labor and their workmen, , causing much private suffering and public loss, - , md occasionally leading, as is all?gea, to acts of , mirage and violence, has induced me to issue a ?? sommission to inquire into and report upon the \ . >rganization of the trades-unions and other soole- j~ jes, whether of workmen or employers, with pow- 6 tr to suggest any improvement of the laws for. ., ?heir own benefit. Application will be made ,to 11 rou for Parliamentary powers, which will be ne- 1 sensory to make this inquiry effective. I have d?? .ec tod bills to be laid before you for the ox tension >f other trades of the beneficial provisions of the actory acts, "pecially reported by tho Royal Com nissionon the employment of children, and for 'OT better regulation, according to the principle of hese acts, of workshops where women and chil lr on are largely employed. The conditions of the mercantile marine has at? rae tod my serions attention. Complaints are nade that the supply of seamen is deficient, and ho provision for their health and discipline un loora ship aro imperfect. Measures will be eub nitted to you with a view to increase the efficiency if this important service. I havo observed with satisfaction the relaxation eccntly introduced into the navigation laws of Yance. I have expressed to the Emperor ray eadiness to submit to Parliament a proposal for ho extinction, on equitable terms, ot the exemp-> ion from local charges on shipping which aro still njoyed by a limited number of individuals in Brit sh ports, and have in anticipation of this step al eady admitted British ships to the advantages of he new law. A bill upon this subject wilt zortb rifch be laid bef.ro you. A bill will also be submitted to you for making otter provision for the arrangement of the affairs f railway companies which are unable to meet en agements. Measures will be submitted to you for improv ag the management of the sick and other poor in he metropolis, and for a redistribution of some of ho charges for relief therein. Your attention will also be called to the amend? ant of the law of Bankruptcy, to the consolidation f tho Courts of Probate and Divorce and Ad l irai ty, and to the means of disposing with Teater dispatch and frequency of the increasing 'usinoss in the Superior Courts of Common Law nd at the Assizes. The relations between landlord and tenant in roland have engaged my attention, and a bill will 0 laid before you which, without interfering with ho rights of property, will offer direct encourage lont to occupiers of land to improve their lolding, and provide a simple mode of obtaining ompensation for permanent improvement. ' 1 commend to your careful consideration these nd other measures which will be brought before ou, and I pray that your labors may, under the lessing of Providence, conduce to the prosperity f the country, and the happiness of my people.

THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE ore at peace with the people of every other State. They are at peace with all the world. They obey the Constitution und the laws. Tho United States laws are respect? ed and enforced in every Sop thorn State. The people ol' that part of the Union are paying {axes under tho laws of the United States. - Ihey invite Northern men to come among them, and assist in developing the rich resources of their lands and their mines. They are purchasing nearly all of their goods and machinery at the North. Their business relations with tue Northern States are pleasant and friendly.

REFORMS UV FRANCS!. LETTES OP THE EMPEBOB NAPOLEON TO THE ? . MINISTEE OP STATE. j PALACE OF.THE ToTr.TmiES, 19th Jan., 1867. 'j ] Monsieur Ie Minister: For some years past it lias been asked whether ? f our institutions have readied their limit of perfec- j (ion, or*whether farther improvements ought to be realized; her ce has arisen on uncertainty mnch to be regretted, and which ought to be put an end to. Hitherto it has been your duty to struggle co?r- t ageousiy, in my name, to repel unseasonable de- i: mands, and to leave to me the initiative of nseful- * reforms, when-the proper moment should arrive. r At present, I behove it possible to give po the in- B atitutions of the empire all the .development of ? which they are susceptible, and to the public lib- ? srt?es a farther extension, without compromising y the authority which the nation has confided to me. a I ho plan which I have graced out i?t myself ? consists in correcting the imperfections which h time has revealed, ana in wteodnoing tho improve? ments compatible with our manners, since govern? ing consists in prating by the enorisnoe ac? quired, and in foreseeing the wants of the future. The object of the decree of the 24th November, ?860, was to associate the Senate and the Legisla? tive Body more directly in thep?lioyof the Gov? ernment, but the discussion on the Address has not produced the resolto which wore expected from it. It has occassionally uselessly inflamed public opinion, given rise tc unprofitable discussions, and saused the loss of a considerable time, valuable for :> usine BS. I believe that, without we al coning the E prerogatives of the dehberative Powers', the Ad- T, Jresa may be replaced by the right of interpella- n< ?on, wisely regiiwted, Q. Ano thor modifloatitm han seemed to me necea- ' nary in the relations .of the Government;' with the ._ jreat Bodies of the State. I have thought that, jv sending the lnanistcrs into the Senate and the Legislative Body, by virtuo of a Bpecial delegation, ta K> take part in'certain discussions, I would better M itilize the strength ol' my Government without de- M >arting from the terms of tho Constitution, whioh _ rdmits no joint responsibility between the Minis ?rs, and makes them dependent solely on tbe N< Jhief of the State. . T< But tho reforms which it is proper to adopt >nght not to stop there. A bill will DO proposed o confer exclusively on the Correctional Tribunals urie diction in case of Press offences, and thus to luppress the o!iscretionary power of the Govern aent. It is equally necessary to regulate, legisla ivaly, the right of meeting, Btill keeping it within he limita which pnblic safe ty requires. I said last 'ear that my Government dqsiroq to go forward on oin ground, capable of supporting authority and 'berty. By the measures which Ihave Just indi? cted, my words nje realized; I do not disturb the on n da Lio ns which fifteen years of calm and proa lerity have consohdated; I . strengthen them fur? ber by drawing closer together my relations with he great publie Powers: by assuring by the law to ,11 citizens fresh guarantees; by achieving, in fine, he crowning of the edifice raised by the national rill. Whereupon, Monsieur le Ministre, I pray God to tb lave you ni his holy keeping. NAPOLEON. | ol so TEE DE?UES..

That of the 24th wernher, 1860, in introducin into thc. French in i tu tiona the annual vote of on address, hod for its >ject to associate the great .bodies, of the State ore directly with the policy of the ..Government. ,, nat measure,.which anticipated public apihion, \ is received *?s'a new and striking teirtimony of 1 " e Sovereign's h bera! initiative and ot his wish to und representative government on solid bases, uore could be no question of weakening the im- i jrfcant position, of tho Chambers, h ut, on the sn .ntrary, to render it moro practical and more ef- I .acious in freeing it from tue imperfections which x years' experience had manifested. - Tho de? ttes in tho Chambers are incontestably of a na ire to exercise a legitimate and salutary influence i tho march of events, when they have for result ? ta i brin K to light pnbhc foaling oh a real and pres- Im it interest. Bat every one was struck with tho | ll ot that the diequssionj on'the address tend more id more to depart from tho line traced by the leech from the Throne to which it was to reply, anting, therefore, a precise basis and clearly fe-. led subject, they run the risk sometimes ofjifan iring into the region of vague theories andab raot ideas; and other times, of losing themselves i E , the minutest details of the administration. Un jr these conditions, they are liable to bo indefi tely prolonged, and tend rather to heat men's 501 inda than to elucidate questions-aud rather to vor verbiage than business, which they deprive 'yalua.bjotimo. Already their duration hag. ag urned proportions which could not have been forer to ten, and which, from tho experience of the past in j. rance and that of other countries, could not have jen expected.' (L) This state of things has led i complaints which the Government conld not but dei ko into consideration. The decree proposes tah set aside these inconveniences, while main- ciu jining intact the participation of tho Chambers id strengthening by defining it. What c to debates could gain in sincerity and in public j tUity, when they axe basod on a circumscribed ^0 uestion, known beforehand, bearing on a serious nd preoise interest, is so evident that there is no eed to enlarge on it. Such is the advantage of in r >rpeUations. The decree, faithful to tho spirit hich inspired it, decides thal; the majority of the ureau ia hot necessary to authorize such de? lano's. The favorable opinion of two out of five I "?? i the Senate, and four out of nine in the legisla- | ll ve body, sunless to authorize them. That is a uarantee that the tribune will be open to every ause really worthy of an exceptional debate. The bamber can express its opinion in two ways-by ae order of the day, pure and simple, if it finda^ be interpellation groundless j and hy reference to tie Government Vt the, questiqn merits "particular ttention. ' The Governinent ia thua placed in a osition to know the sentiments of the Chamber, I Br nd to pay the attention to them reqmred by pub c interest and it? own responsibility. To go . arther would be to run the risk of altering the har- 1 anny of the powers, such as they are regulated by * he Constitution, and to exceed the range of a imple decree. The oattes in which the legislative, ?ody and the Senate can express a. direct and ab olute judgmentj tarrainatutg in a vote of adoption irYeiiiH?l, ore rigqrpijely defined in the fundamen al compact. ' Independently bf special laws, those if tho contingent of the army, supplementary ?redits, and budget furnish every year numerous )ccasions for the deputies to regularly exercise heir control over public affairs. The substitution jf interpellatipns for tho Address bas, ?s a noces tary consequence, the. provisions which concerns he Ministers, and which gives a greater latitude .o the .sovereign in the designation cf the organs mar god to speak in his name, and, in certain cases, nore authority to tho explanations furnished. But t was requisite that the terms of the Constitution AiQuid nb,{?' bo ontpassod, which^ provided that 5he Ministers shall only bo dependent on the Chief jf tho State, that thev are only responsible each in what concerns himself for tho acts of the Govern? ment; that there is no solidarity among thom, at^d that thoy cannot be members of the. legislative body, The decree doeB not, nor could it, make any change in these prescriptions; and, therefore, the ?uiniriters ' only present' themselves before the Chambers as delegates from the Chief of the State, on tho occasions of which he will remain tho only judge; the Council of 8tate, however, preserving its constitutional role. "What the country ro quires above everything is, that truth, justice and the general interest may issue triumphantly from the publio discussions. In that point of view, this 1 day's docr?e wu! b<> considered by all impartial - minds as realizing a notable progress. J; c THE CUBANS AMAZED AT YANKEE AUDACITY.- "J Our Cuban cotempoiarics are amazed at Mr. Sum- J ncr's resolution "that tho Government ot the Uni- J ted States forbid foreign nations to introduce , coolies into their colonies," amazed at its audacity, and the violent, uncourtoous and unparliamentary language by which it waa accompanied.
