The house of Hon. SAMUEL APPLETON, a leading citizen of Boston, was entered by burglars on the night of the 17th, Mr. APPLETON beaten senseless, and $2000 in Treasury notes stolen. The thieves had collected a large amount of plunder which Mr. AEPLETON1 S resiatance compelled them to leave behind. For the first time in the world the closing com? mercial intelhgence of London and Liverpool has been published ?i New York on the same day. The cable dispatch which we published ' Saturday, giving the closing quotations, could not have left London before four o'clock P. M., and yet was re? ceived in New York at noon of the same day. This gives a little less than one heurfor transmission between tie two cities. The Oe ila (Fla;) Banner mak?s this note on emigration to that quarter: "We are gratified to see that a considerable tide of emigration has set 0 in our direction, and hope that the many and man? ifest advantages offered by our r?gion of country to persons desirous to settle, will induce many others to do likewise. Nearly every day brings . fains of wagons and carts through our town, bringing the household goods of numerous fami? lies, who J lave abandoned the worn-out fields cf the cider Statu, and are seeking a home in our genial clime and on our virgin soiL" So-much..of Table Rook as had been left by the fall of seven years ago tumbled with a loud crash into the river on the 20th. The accident is attributed to .the sudden expansion and contrac? tion caused hy the recent change of weather end the prolonged thaws. There is said tb be much grief among the denizens of that locality, as Table Bock waa the Bource of much profit to them. The many strangers who have been "taken in" by the sharpers tai the Canadian side will derive some satisfaction from their cu?comfltnro, while they jnay regret the loss of one of the objects that lent interest to the. scene. Of the prospects for the coming crop, the Pan ola Star of the l?th says; "Wo believe that a greater number ol? acres of land will be brought under cul? tivation tba present y ear than bas been the case for many years. Almost without exception the freedmen renewed their contracts before the expi? ration of last year or early this year. We hear of many parsons from the Carolinas and Georgia set? tling in our midst, accompanied by the labor ne? cessary for the cultivation of the plantations they have either rented or purchased; and we trust they may all hilve cause to congratulate themselves upon their removal here, and that abundant har? vests may crown their efforts. Besides all this, many of our old farmers have increased the num? ber of their hands,'and more would do so were they to belted.''. The New York Tribune announces that a govern? ment vessel will, under a late joint resolution of Congress, leave that port in few days to carry free whatever may meantime be contributed by the citizens to feed the famishing- poor at the South. The Tribute, after stating that the vessel should he freighted to her utmost capacity with corn and mean, adds : " We are amazed at th" apathy with which the appeals hitherto made for our starving countrymen have been met. As yet, apart from whatfour noble women.have raised, only $35,000 have been contributed. Ten years ago a like ap? peal would have been responded to at the rate of hundreds of thousands per day. Are these people less near to us because of their need ? Let us re? solve that at least $100,000 shall be contributed this week by our city. Let us not be shamed by St. Louis, which has given $126,000. Dates from Vera -Cruz, Mexico, are to tho 13th inst. The attack of MTBAMON on Zacatecas, his subsequent defeat, by ESCOBIOO, and the narrow escape of JUAREZ are all confirmed in detail. TA JBBBA, with eight hundred Imperialists, waB at? tacked on the 7th instant, while on his way to re? inforce the Capital, and was compelled to retrace his steps, after losing over five hundred men in killed, wounded and missing. A severe battle was reported to have been fought at San Luis Potosi, in which the Liberals lost all their artillery, and on the 1st instant another battle is said to have taken place between MTBAMON and ESCOBERO, in which the former was again severely handled. MARQUEZ liad ten thousand men in Mexico City, only four thousand of whom are armed. They are all forced levies. ZAMACO:<A pronounced for the republic, and eight hundred men, belonging to tho garrison at Puebla, followed suit with him. The whole of the expeditionary force will leave Tera Cruz during the first two weeks of March. Brownsville dispatches state that MIBAMON and JESCOBEDO engaged on the 4th instant near San Luis, and ESCOBEDO lost all but five men out of his force, consisting of a thousand men.

THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 28,1867. THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. We published, some days since, the speech of the Queen on the opening of Parliament. Within the last few days the mail has brought us English papers, containing in full the debate in both Houses on the Address from the Throne. In the House of Lord*, the address at tho evening sitting was moved by Lord BEAUCHAMP, and socouded by Lord DELAMERE, who briely glanced at the vari? ous subjects, dealt with in the speech, and more particularly dwelt upon the Irish policy of tho Government, which he cordially approved. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or properly Earl RUSSELL, spoke next. Ho stated that his side of the House had no objection to offer, nor amendments to move to the Address; but ho, nevertheless, proceeded to analizo very sharply, though in perfectly courte? ous language, the several topics touched upon in the Queen's speech. He alone of all the speakers in either Houso that evening showed temper. This was moro particularly the case when he came to criticise the paragraph in tho address, referring to the question of Parliamentary Reform. Tho noble Earl can neither forgive nor forget the un? fair means by which the present incumbents oust? ed him and his compeers out of their very com? fortable places on the Treasury Benches, to which, his language would almost imply, he thought they hada prescriptive right in perpetuity. He first quoted the passage in question, from the Queen s speech : "Your attention will bo again called to the state of the representation of thc people in Parliament, and Ittust that your d?lib?ra ions, conducted in a spirit of moaeration and mutual forbearance, may load to the adoption of measures which, without unduly disturbing the balance of political power, shall freely extend ihe elective franchise." Earl RUSSELL next proceeded, at somo length, to give the history of Parliamentary Reform from 1882 to the defeat of his Ministry in 1866, and then said : By our bill of lost year we proposed an occupation franchise of ?14 in counties, aud ?7 in boroughs; and bow was that met?. Why, by a proposition which could not fairly be considered either honorable to the persons who made it, or safe for the country. I have referred to the speech made by the noble Earl (Lord DERBY) at the open? ing of last session, in which l.e found fault with my conduct in regard to his bill of 18.59. The noble Earl said, "How "a&t bill was encountered, de tott?'Kl aud got rid of, perhaps the noble Earl has now forgotten. I can assuie hinj>i"have not." Then, going on to moke a declaration of the course which he should himself-pursue with respect to any measure- Introduced by the Government, on february 6,1866, the noble Earl proceeded as fol? lows : "I will fxpress no opinion upon their measure until I have seen it. I hope it will be such a measure as I shall be able to sup? port, that it wi'd be a' reasonable and satisfactory settlement of tina great and important question, which I believe it is debil able to settle, and settle once ?for all. And I promise the noble Earl another thing-that hi a bill shall have fair play; [Ministerial cheers] ; that i sholl not be thrust aside by any underhand meth? ods ; that there shall be no factious movements or combinations against it on the part of those who can combine for nothing else, [renewed Ministerial cheers] ; that it shall be dealt with on its m?ri te ; that if we can approve it we shall give it our cor diaj support ; but that on the other hand if we disapprove it and think it is imperfect, inadequate or dangerous, and, above all, if we think it one leading to future agitation within a brief period of a perilous character, then, with whatever means we may possess, we shall do our best to throw it ont by fair debate and honorable opposition." [Cheers and counter cheers]. ? My Lords, it is my privilege to give my opinion on this matter, and I i. ust say I think ow bilkdid not have ''fair play,'' that it was encountered by "underhand 'methods" and by 'factious mo\ ementa and combn&iiohs on the part of those who yordd combine fe . nothing else" [cheers] ; that it ra 3 not "dealt *,ith i pon its merits ;" and that it trae not met by '?feit d-ibate and honorable opposition." [Cheyvs.j Hui?, my Lords, is a statement or my opinion. He next traced the his+oiy o? this measure, and tho causes of its defeat in the House of Commons, and closed the subject by giving Lord DERBY a "piece of his mind," as follows : They endeavored to defeat it by underhand pro? ceedings, and by a proposal contrary to all tho rules of the House of Commons, and the practice of honorable opposition. It was contrary to the regulation thaft all parties have adopted for many years, that of giving notice of any important amendment, and pl .icing it on the votes in a print? ed form, so that those who have to meet it should know what that motion is. That step woe taken without any such notice, and without any knowl? edge on the part of the Government that any mo? tion was about to Ba made. That was the course adopted by the Opposition. [El ear, hear,] I call that an unfair and underhand course. I say that, with regard to the bill of the late Government; it was not met on its merits, but an attempt was made to form a combination against it on the part of those who were unable to combine on any other subject. If I am well-founded in my history of what then took place, tho noble Earl opposite had no occasion to thank God that he was not as other men were, and not as those Publicans of 1859, because he was qui te as bad as those Publicans. [A laugh.] With re? spect to the Bi ll which the noble Earl is about to I produce, I only hope that it will be produced soon: that it will contain clear provisions, and that it will I be considered by the House of Commons. For my own part I neither promise to support it nor do I threaten opposition to it. If it be a good Bill, no doubt we sEUl be happy to see it carried. If it be a bad Bill, with an incomplete or delusive fran? chise, why than it would do just that to which the noble Earl truly objected. Above all, if we think it will lead on a future occisi?n to agitation of a perilous character, it will be our duty to oppose it. If the House of Commons pass a fair Bill, and your Lordships approve it, giving a great bod;- of the artisans of this country the privileges which they are well fitted to perform, that of exer? cising on^ of the most important functions which can be exercised in a free country in yoting for representatives to Parliament; in short, in selecting men on whom the coduct, power, faith, and freedom of this country de? pend for many years-if you give them that advan? tage freely and fairly, and to a proper extent, then you may hope to settle this question. But if, on the other hand, you endeavor by any tricks or shuffles to cheat them of that fair right, and en? deavor to givo them less than that to which they are entitled, you will not saccoed, and you will loy the foundation of future agitation. I am aware that many of tho public meetings have declared in favor of manhood suffrage, but hardly any one in either House of Parliament wishes for such a suf? frage, and if you give tho working classes of this country a fair proportion of votes you may hope to settle this question for a considerable time. But if you deal with it unfairly and dequatelv there can be no better theme for ag. ation at the general election, which must take place soon after the passing cf such a Bill, than that tho present Houso of Commons cheated the country, and that ir was necessary to have a new reform Bill and new mem? bers of Parliament, who would do their duty to their constituents moro honestly than tho members of the present House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) If I were an agitator I would wish for no better theme. [A laugh.] The noble Earl having arrived at the conclusion that there ought to bo a large reform, will, I trust, reduce the franchise to such an extent tlAt his measures will be accepted by the country. We all know very well that there are different methods of reasoning which affect different minds. Some people are verv well con? vinced by tho inductive method; others are moro convinced by the method of deduotion. Some like the alge braic, and others the geometric method. But with regard to noble lords opposite thore is no way which succeeds so well as being in office. [A laugh.] The noble Earl, in a speoch delivered by him at Liverpool in the courso of the suminor, dwelt upon the great advantage arising Jrom a change of Government from time to time. I quite agree with him in what he said; but there is a further advantage which ho did not mention, namely-that when ho comes into office he per? ceives tho truth of propositions which he has been opposing for fifteen years. Whatever may bo thought of the fairness of the foregoing thrusts with Earl BCSSELL'S trenchant blade, or the motives that impelled thom, it cannot be denied that his position is a strong one, and that his opposition must prove formidable to tho last degree to any measure of Beform that may be brought forward by tho present Government. When it is -onsidered that Earl RUSSELL, Mr. GLADSTONE, and them colleagues in the late minis? try, for party purposes no less than from patriotic motives, discarded what repugnance they mav have folt, and fairly and eqnarely took tho (Reform") bull by the horns, brought in a scheme for parlia? mentary ^presentation, which, although it did not propose to yield all that was asked, vet, ia the main, enjoyed tho confidence of the "loading ac? knowledged advocates and representatives of3the petitioners for aa enlarged franchise; when it is considered that after a long agitation, and many spirited debates in both Houses, tho measure waa finally lost hy tho successful intrigues of the Tony party,-Earl DERBY'S present position becomes ono of peculiar delicacy, and almost insurmount? able ilifiieiilty. Nor ia this lesseneaVwhen it ls re? membered that siuce tho dissolution of the last Parliament, tho agitation on tho subject has been constant and spirited, and tho demands of the masses havo vastly increased; that their resent mont is specially directed against tho present min? istry, who are held responsible for having defeated the bill proposed;-and that large, influential and well organized bodies (the Trades TJnionB) have since made common cause with tho agitators of laBt year. In the face of those difficulties, and upon the gauntlet having been thrown at the very opening of tho session by tho lato Prime Minister, we can? not wonder that Earl DERBY should not be over sanguine of the success of the Reform measure to be proposed by his government, and that he should deprecate, in words of bitterness, the assault made upon him by the leader of the opposition. In the course of his remarks, he said : But I am sure that there is no hope of a satisfactory settlement of the question, if it is to be taken up in the spirit and temper with which the noble Earl has chosen to approach it. [Cheers.] If when this question is mooted we are to commence bandying one anoth? er with unfairness, inconsistency, double-dealing, and what not, in connection with the political history of thc past fifteen years or more, and in? stead bf entering upon the subject with the view of considering what is best to be done, then, I say, there is no hope that the matter will be settled, and I BhaU deeply regret that Her Majesty's Min? isters have been induced to bring forward a ques? tion which the event will then have shown can lead only to angry discussions. [Cheors.] My Lords, if we do desire and hope for a satisfactory settle? ment of this question, if we desire to see the rep? resentation of tho country placed upon a sound basis, if we desire to see a settlement of the ques? tion which I will not say shall be fina?, but which shall render unnecessary and improbable any fur? ther agitation upon the subject lor a very consid? erable time, then, I say, this object cannot be at? tained by making the question one of porty and political strife for tho purpose of obtaining chico or parliamentary majorities. The question must he examined in a fair, deliberate and d spacsionate spirit ; we must he prepared to give and take ; we must be prepared to meet each other's views, and we must oe prepared, above all i nings, to cast away all party objects and be quite fros from mere political strife. ["Hear, hear," and ? laugh.] Noble Lords may laugh, but I am speaking from the deepest convictions of .my mind when I say that there is no possible Government in this coun? try that can at the present time carry a Reform BUI. The noble Earl tried to do so last year, and he thought he had a majority with him when he laid down the principle that no Government was required, and that no Government was over justi? fied, in bringing forward a Reform Bill unless it had a reasonable prospect of being able to carry it. I do not go as far as the noble Earl, but I say that in the present state of parties no Government can hope to carry, by their own separate and distinct exertions, such a Reform Bill as would in their view be most desirable ; and I repeat that, if this question is to.be settled it muBt be dealt with in a spirit of mutual forbearance, and not by bandying recriminations. In the House of Commons the address wa^moved by Mr. DEGBAY and seconded by Mr. GRAVES. 'Mr. GLADSTONE then rose, amid loud cheers, and spoke at considerable length. His remarks, however, were very temperate, entirely devoid of tho acer? bity which characterized those of Earl RUSSELL. Mr. GLADSTONE was foDowed by Mr. D'ISRAELI, who replied to his obj ec ti ons. On a comparison of the several speeches before us, it sterns somewhat singular that those in the lipper House should partake much more of a personal charactec. Still, ali were courteous in the highest degree, polished and gentlemanly, and in all these ueveral respects different toto cceio from wbat we read in the Congressional Globe. Mr. DISRAELI, as far as we can judge by the printed re? port of the several speeches, appears least tram? melled in his modes of expression. His style in? dicates less of intentional diplomatic obscurity than .that of any of the others, i Although we have progressed in this country very far beyond what Groat Britain has as yet at? tained to. in matter of legislation as well as in everything else,-we sometimes have misgivings, and cannot help thinking that in some points at least America, and particularly the American Con? gress, might with great advantage copy from Eng? land and the British Parliament.
