Mayor's Omen, ) Dtoc, 30, IS&* noon. $ Pellow Citizens : The report that outrages hare .bednVomrrfitted by persons from Canada, upon the lives and property * of our inhabitants, has justly excited in your bosoms that spirit which is so worthy of American citizens. All legal measures will be promptly taken to prevent any future aggression* and you will be called upon as fast as your services are required. In the mean time, I enjoin you all to act with discretion, and only under the direction of the proper authorities. The Common Council having placed ample means at my disposal fur the de. fence of the city, nothing will be wanting on my part to ensure the safety of all, and for the purpose I feel assured that I shall be fully sustained by you. A competent and well armed city guard, bf respectable citizens, has been organized, under the authority of the Common Council, and sworn in as a city patrol. The laws must be strictly enforced; and. to nrevent any unnecessary alarm. ' ? / ' the firing of guns after sundown is forbid* den, and the ordinance in relation thereto will be readily enforced. It is to be hoped, however, in limes like the present, no pefson will.bo found who will wanton* ly violate any law. The firemen arc requested to be on the alert, and see that their engines are in good order, though it is not to be hoped that they will have no occasion to use them.

SPEECH OP QUEEN VICTORIA, At tits opening of tf^gritiak Parliament. , twun of Lords, ( Monday Nor. 90. J #his being the day fixed by Her Majesty, for * delivering the royal speech in her first Parliament, the avenues to the house were crowded from an early hour. A few minutes before two o'clock, a . flourish of trumpets, the ringing of bells, and the firing of caunop from the Park, announced the departure of her majesty, j The Lord Chancellor then left the house to receive the Queen, and in about ten | minutes another flourish of trumpets pro! claimed her Majesty's approach. Her Majesty was received throughout ' the whole of her progress With the warmest cheers Of Her subjects, who were crowding the Park and each side of the . street from the Horse Guards to Westminister, and filling every balcony. Even I... - " - - me roois 01 tne houses were in many places occupied, as was also the roof of St. Margaret's Church. At two o*clo%ck precisely, her Majesty, having been robed, entered the house, preceded by the aeraids and officers of I state, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, and attended by the Duchess of Sutherland, mistress of the robes, and Lady Barham, lady in waiting, the Master of the Horse, the Treasurer, and other members of her household. Her Majesty, who appeared in excellent health, wore a white satin gown, over which was a splendid crimson velvet robe trimmed with gold lace. On her head was a tiara of diamonds, she also wore a diamond necklace and ear-rings, and on her arm the order of the Garter. Her Majesty then desired the Lords to be seated, and ordered tho Usher of the Blach Rod to summon the Commons. In a few minutes the Commons appeared at the bar, headed by the Spcakor, supported on the right by the Usher of the Black Rod, and on the left by the Sergeant at Arms. The space below the bar was crowded to excess with members, and it was not till after several rather undignified cries of "Full, full,*' and "order, order," had been uttered, that the pressure of the mcmbeis excluded could bo stopped. Silence having been obtained, her Majesty took and subscribed the usual declaration, repeating every sentence after the Lord Chancellor. This ended, his Lordship^ bending on one knee: presented his Sovereign with a copy of the following most gracious speech, which her Majesty immediately delivered;? "My Lords and Gentlemen, "I have thought it right to assemble you for the transaction of public business at the earliest convenient period after the dissolution of the late Parliament. "It is with great satisfaction that I have received from all foreign powers the the strongest assurances' of their friendly disposition, and of their earnest desire to cultivate and maintain with me the relations of amity; and I rejoice 111 the prospect that I shall be able to promote lire best interests of my subjects by securing to them the advantages of peace.
