The Queen's Speech. Parliament reassembled in London on Feb. 5. The most noted event being Queen Victoria's speech. Beside recommending the repeal of the exceptional statues in relation to the peace of Ireland and the enactment of laws for the transfer of land and the reconstruction of infrastructure, she also recommends the passage of Acts for the improvement of the dwellings of the working classes, for the consolidation of the sanitary laws, to prevent the pollution of rivers, and continues: My relations with all foreign powers are friendly. The peace of Europe continues unbroken, and I trust it will remain so. I shall do my endeavors thereunto. The conference at Brussels on the usages of war have been concluded. My Government has carefully examined the reports of its deliberations, but, considering the importance of the principles involved, and widely divergent opinions thereon expressed, and the improbability of their recommendation, I have refused proposals for further negotiations. The Serrano Government in Spain has ceased to exist, and Prince Alfonso has been called to the throne. The question of recognizing him in concert with other powers is now before my Government, and a decision will not be long delayed. I earnestly hope that peace will be specially restored to that great but unfortunate country. Exertions for the suppression of the East African slave trade have not been relaxed. I confidently trust they will result in the complete extinction of the traffic, which is equally repugnant to humanity, and injurious to legitimate commerce. The difference between China and Japan, once threatening war, are now happily adjusted. I have learned with pleasure that my Minister at Pekin was largely instrumental in effecting this result. The past year has been one of general prosperity and progress throughout the colonies. The gold coast shows a steady advance in the establishment of civil government. Peace has been maintained and slavery abolished. Henceforward there will be freedom there as elsewhere. I shall doutless have your concurrence in any measures which it shall be my duty to adopt, insuring a wise and humane system of native administration in Natal. An ample harvest has restored prosperity. Proceedings of Congress. House. The Senate bill allowing Engineer Pitch, of the United States Navy, to accept the present sent to his wife by the Khedive of Egypt, passed. Hazelton moved to suspend the rules and pass Senate bill referring to the Court of Claims certain claims for the construction of iron-clad and steam machinery during the war. After discussion, in which it was stated by opponents of the bill that it would cost five millions, the motion was rejected—132 to 100. The House then proceeded to consideration of bills affecting the District of Columbia, and spent over two hours in discussion of the Tax Bill for the District, without reaching a conclusion. At 12, the bill for the reorganization of the Treasury Department was taken up. Young offered an amendment, requiring appointments in the department to be distributed among the States and Territories in proportion to the population. Agreed to, and the bill passed. Packer, from the Post Office Committee, reported the Annual Post Route Bill, which was passed. Myers introduced a bill to return to the government of Japan one-half of the indemnity fund paid by it to the United States, under the convention of October 22, 1869, and to dispose of the balance of said fund. Dawes moved to suspend the rules and go into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff and Tax Bill, and pending that all general debate be limited to three-quarters of an hour, which latter motion was agreed to by a vote of 162 to 83; the former by a vote of 90 to 56. The House went into Committee of the Whole with Hale, of Maine, in the chair. Burchard was recognized as entitled to the floor, and said that for the first time since the war the House has met with the proposition to increase the revenues, and the question at once is: "Is there any necessity to increase the revenue to meet what the expenses should be?" He proceeded to show that there was a necessity for increased internal revenue, and figured that the necessities of the Government would require an increase of nearly forty millions. The great question was, by what means shall this large amount of additional revenue be raised? Was the bill as proposed the best means? It was suggested by some tea and coffee should be taxed. He had an objection to that. He thought the bill as reported would meet all the demands. According to his estimate under the bill, $18,000,000 would be raised from distilled spirits, $4,000,000 additional from the tax on tobacco, and about $9,000,000 from sugar. That would be an additional revenue of over $30,000,000. The next item was the restoration of the tax on tea. This he was compelled to oppose, because the restoration of that tax would disturb too many of the industries of the country without an adequate compensation in amount of revenue received. He protested against the restoration of the tax in the name of the laboring classes of the country. Cox opposed the bill, and said that to increase the tax on distilled spirits would not raise a general increase of revenue. He SAN FRANCISCO There has been no need for the week under new transactions to have experienced a rulling last week; corrections in breadth in form; a large number of issues; and as English chases are made chilts only care being taken with the least possible latest charters were one-half rate or beginning of the harvest parts of the coast area; rather respecting crossings and if there is no fall we have promise of it; State has ever proclaimed since our last for export being limited price.

An ample harvest has restored prosperity in India. By the blessings of Providence I was able to entirely avert the loss of life which was apprehended from famine. The finances are in a satisfactory condition. The trade of the country has somewhat fallen short, but there has been general prosperity supported by an excellent harvest. Reductions of taxation have led to a steady increase in the consumption of the necessaries of life, and such articles as contribute to the revenue. TAM CHRISTIE lived and flourished, a few years ago, in Montreal, a painter by trade, and the following anecdotes of him came from a fellow-workman of his Tam was an habitual stammerer, and pretty ready-witted. He was sent to paint a sign, one day, which was to be a representation of a bear. He forgot to put oil in the paint. The job was finished; but that night it rained cats and dogs, and of course the bear was washed off. Tam was sent for, and he was asked his opinion of the cause of it. "Oh," says Tam, "ye sud hae lettin' me p-put a chain r-round his neck as I tauld ye, and it w-widna hae been washed off. On another occasion, a barber wanted something more than mere "barber" on his sign, and Tam's opinion was asked. "Well," answers Tam, "I think ye sud p-put b-bar-barity." A person sued him for some money that was due. Tam was one of the kind who do not like to pay their debts, and many a summons he got. The sheriff-office came with it. "W-weel, John, what's this?" "Anither s-summons," says John. "Anither s-summons!" quoth Tam. "My k-kist w-winna hand ony mair." On Feb. 3, the Osage (Kansas) coal mine took fire, with some thirty-two men down in the shaft. Their escape is almost a miracle, and great credit is due to the almost superhuman efforts of those above ground. On the afternoon of Feb. 3, a jet of flame was seen arising from the main and only shaft of the mine. Almost instantly a crowd of nearly a thousand persons gathered round the mouth of the shaft—wives and children of the imprisoned men—bare-headed and unshawled, rushed out of their homes and surrounded the shaft, ringing their hands in awful anguish. Barrels of salt and all the water that could be found was poured down the shaft, but apparently no avail. At last an engine on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad came up with a tank full of water. This was emptied down the smoking shaft. At last a man issued from the smoking hole and was greeted with cheers. A man by the name of Marks volunteered to go down. He was let down by a rope passed around his waist, and reached the bottom in safety. Morton moved to postpone pending and all other orders, and proceed to consideration of the resolution from the Committee on Elections for the admission of Pinchback. Morton's motion was then agreed to, and he proceeded to argue that Pinchback had a prima facie right to his seat and must be seated; any inquiries as to the character of the body that elected him, or the means used to secure his election, to be made afterward. He cited numerous authorities and several precedents, and gave notice that he would ask what it was suggested by some that tea and coffee should be taxed. He had an objection to that. He thought the bill as reported would meet all the demands. According to his estimate under the bill, $18,000,000 would be raised from distilled spirits, $4,000,000 additional from the tax on tobacco, and about $0,000,000 from sugar. That would be an additional revenue of over $20,000,000. The next item was the restoration of the tax on tea. This he was compelled to oppose because the restoration of that tax would disturb too many of the industries of the country without an adequate compensation in amount of revenue received. He protested against the restoration of the tax in the name of the laboring classes of the country. Cox opposed the bill, and said that to increase the tax on distilled spirits would not raise a general increase of revenue. He showed that the greatest revenue was received when the tax was lowest. He would prefer taxation on tea and coffee, but above all he would prefer economy, and, if time were allowed him, he would show that the House had not economized. In his judgment, our whole tariff system was a great fraud. He believed it could be increased from tea and coffee sufficient to supply all demands of the sinking fund, and that seemed to be the whole object of the bill. Butler's Postal Telegraph Bill was reported when a point of order was raised by Willard, and supported by Garfield and Randall, that it should receive its first consideration in Committee of the Whole. The Speaker overruled the point, and Butler proceeded to explain and advocate his bill. He attacked the Associated Press and the Western Union Telegraph Company, as monopolies that sought to control the news business of the country. Butler moved previous question, which the House refused to second, 89 to 77; not two-thirds in affirmative. Potter, of New York, characterized the bill as a most extraordinary one. Telegraph lines were not the property of the United States. They were neither built nor subsidized by the Government; nor even by authority of the Government; yet it was proposed that Congress should take possession of private property, manage it, and fix prices upon it. The bill for the improvement of the Mississippi River was taken up and discussed, and amended by striking out the portion directing the Secretary of War to construct the work in case of default of Captain Eads, and passed. The House went into a Committee of the Whole on the Revenue Bill. The first vote was on Southard's amendment to strike out the first section relating to the whiskey tax. Rejected—yesas 64, mays 95. Randall then moved to amend the first section by making the tax on whiskey 90 cents instead of $1 lost—63 to 88. Kasson, in behalf of the committee, offered an amendment providing that the tax on spirits contracted to be delivered before the 10th February shall be paid by the purchaser. Adopted: Archer moved to strike out the enacting clause. Lost—63 to 68. The third section, repealing the stamp tax on matches, was stricken out. A substitute was adopted for the fourth section which increased the duties on molasses and sugar twenty-five per cent, which is substantially the same, but including melado. Senate. Edmunds, from the Judiciary Committee, reported without amendmentthe Civil Rights Bill which recently passed the House, and gave notice that he would call it up at the earliest possible moment, which would be in a day or two. Placed on the calendar. Hager presented a memorial from W.D.Woolley, J.J.Davidson and other citizens of Ventura County, Cal., asking that the Attorney-General be directed tothea bill in Chanceryto set asidethe patentfortheRioSantaClara land grant, alleged to have been issued improperly.

A few Sabbaths since a relative was to preach in the Episcopal Church, and the professor permitted the child to accompany him there. All went on decorously until the rector in his white robes, presented himself, when the little fellow, with a tug of his sleeve, very nearly upset the professor's gravity, by wonderingly exclaiming: 'Papa, does Uncle Joseph sleep here!'" In the French Assembly the debate on constitutional measures was contiued. Jules Favre argued that it was impossible to maintain the present status, and pointed out the impotence of the Legitimists. He demanded the definite establishment of the Republic, warmly praised ex-President Thiers, and violently attacked the Bonapartists, for which he was called to order. Finally Latour moved that the House proceed to the second reading of De Ventavon's bill, which was agreed to, 557 to 146. Favre's speech created great excitement and bitter feeling. The bill for the creation of the Senate will come up on Monday. He who reforms himself has done more towards reforming the public than a crowd of noisy impotent patriots. RIBBONS of every kind should be washed in cold suds and not rinsed. SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. There has been no activity in the market for the week under review and we have but few transactions to record. Grain and flour have experienced a slight decline from rates ruling last week, corresponding to the decline of breadstalls in foreign markets. There are a large number of ships here seeking business, and as English orders are limited, purchases are made chiefly on owners' account, the only care being to dispatch their vessels with the least possible chance of loss. The latest charters were reported at 45 for first-class grain vessels to ports direct—or about one-half the rate of charters made at the beginning of the harvest year. Reports from all parts of the coast are of the most favorable character respecting crop prospects for this year, and if there is no failure in the spring rainfall, we have promise of the largest crop of grain the State has ever produced. Wheat has declined since our last quotations, the demand for export being light, even at the present limited price. Flour is in steady demand, with little change in the figures. Barley is weak, and prices hardly maintained, with a prospect of a decline soon. Oats are weak at our quotations, Oregon has commenced sending supplies forward. Corn is held firmly at our last quotations, with an active demand. Buckwheat is quiet at nominal prices. Bye is quiet at nominal prices. Potatoes are in more liberal supply and prices are lower. Onions are in demand and prices are firmer. Hops are in light supply and prices rule high. Wool is still in excessive stock and without movement, even at the very low prices quoted, the bulk of the stock remaining on hand being earthy, burry, and undesirable for export. Cotton is without movement and unchanged in price. Hides, both dry and wet-salted, are in demand, and our quotations represent cash prices for usual selections. Tallow is in light demand with large stock accumulations. Dairy produce meets a ready market, but as supplies increase daily, prices leasen in proportion. WHEAT. — Transactions are limited, and there seems to be an inclination to lessen prices. There is no speculative feeling, nor is there any competition among buyers; purchasers may be said to have only a desire to buy at the lowest possible figures and load on the same terms—the point in view being not to make money, but to avoid loss in the transaction. The range of price for good shipping grain is from $1 37½@1 55, the latter being extreme. Choice menu commands $1 55@1 57 per ctl. The present Liverpool quotations are as follows: 8s 10d@2s 2d for average, and 9s 3d@9s 9d for club. Transactions for the week embrace the following in lots: 2,000 sks extra choice milling, $1 60; 10,000 sks prime shipping, $1 57¢; 15,500 sks do, $1 62¢; 5,500 sks do, $1 52¢; 10,500 sks do, $1 50; 5,000 sks do, $1 47¢. FLOUR. — There have been but few sales for the week, and prices have shaded off to meet views of purchasers. A portion of sales reported were for export to China, by the steamer City of Peking; rates of freight being only 3 50 per ton.

H. T. GRAVES,Secretary. A Handsome New Store. New and Progressive Ideas adopted for the Convenience and Advantage of Customers. Strangers who visit San Francisco occasionally cannot help noticing the large number of fine new buildings erected for business purposes during the past year. It is worthy of special notice that many firms have been unable to find a suitable place of business. A notable case of this kind is the firm of S. Mosgrove & Co.,the well known dry goods merchants of San Franciscowho have so long conducted business at 222 and 234 Street.The business of this firm had increased to such an extent that their store on Third street was found inadequate to the accommodation of their numerous customers,b besides the location was not central enough to accommodate their customers from various parts of the State,但 it was useless for them to move so long as they could not find a place large enough for their purposes. As soon as S. Mosgrove & Co.learned that an elegant and substantial building was to be erected at 114 and 116 Kearny street,the engaged a large space,and had it fitted up for their purposes,and the result of their efforts must be seen to be fully appreciated.

BARLEY—Prices are easing off. Stocks are reported quite light; the demand being chiefly for export eastward, overland by rail. Sales within the week are reported as follows: 2,500 sks extra choice brewing, $1 62%; 1,500 sks do, $1 60; 2,500 sks do, $1 55; 2,500 sks coast feed, $1 42%; $1 45; 3,200 sks coast brewing, $1 50 @ ctl. OATS—We have no change in prices to note. Receipts are fair but the demand is light.

There is a continued decline in price, the present range being $1 25@1.30 per 100 bs. CORN—There is quite an active demand, with sales in lots, of 1,200 sks Yellow at $1.55 @ 60. White being very scarce is held higher. BRAN AND MIDDLLINGS—The mill prices are $15.00 for bran, and $20@22.50 ton for middlings, which is a reduction from previous prices. HAY—Is in good supply, with a lessening demand and a tendency to lower prices. The cargo价 on the wharf ranges from $10.90 to $16.90 ton, according to quality. STRAW—Is quoted at 70@80 per bale. BEANS—White are scarce and in good demand at good prices; colored are neglected—prices for the latter are merely nominal, most of those offered being unsound and bad conditioned. POTATOES—Receipts have been more liberal during the week, and prices have been a shade lower, although the demand continues active. We quote choice Humboldt at $1.75 @ 85. All other varieties bring $1.75 @ 80 on the wharf. ONIONS—The supply is fair—the larger portion of our receipts being of inferior quality. Choice Silverskins bring $1.25@$1.50 @ 100 bs. WOOL—Stocks are unusually large for the season, and commission merchants continue to complain of extreme dullness in Wool matters. Good shipping grades of free wool are being offered at 15c, and burry as low as 1Hc for good grades; but shippers consider these rates much too high, in view of the low rulings at New York and Boston. The present price in Boston at date is as follows: Good average Fall Wool was selling slowly at 19@21c; burry grades, and extremely heavy, short and fine free, 16@17c, currency. Much of the stock here will have to be carried over until Spring elk comes forward, and even later, unless the feeling in the East improves very much by 1st of May. Sales for the week are reported of 50,000 bs., in lots, within the range. We quote seedy and burry, 10@12c; fine free short, 10@14c; medium grade, 14@15c; coarse grade, 18@20c. COTTON—There is no movement, and prices are merely nominal, say 12%@14c. Stock on hand held for higher figures. HIDES—Dry are wanted: 19@20c cash is unable to find a suitable place for business. A notable case of this kind is the firm of S.Mosgrove & Co., the well known dry goods merchant of San Francisco who have so long conducted business at 222 and 224 Third street. The business of this firm had increased to such an extent that their store on Third street was found inadequate to the accommodation of their numerous customers, besides the location was not central enough to accommodate their customers from various parts of the State, but it was useless for them to move so long as they could not find a place large enough for their purposes. As soon as S.Mosgrove & Co. learned that an elegant and substantial building was to be erected at 114 and 116 Kearny street, they engaged a large space, and had it fitted up for their purposes, and the result of their efforts must be seen to be fully appreciated. Their salesroom has a frontage of 40 feet and a depth of 80, with an L twenty feet square. The front consists of a large double doorway, and two magnificent show-windows of plate glass. The interior of their salesroom is fitted up in an elegant and tasty manner. Nor is this all, for they have spared no pains to be able to minister to the ease and convenience of their customers. They have introduced a novelty by making the top of some portions of their counters of plate glass beneath which certain goods are displayed, so that ladies can examine them while sitting. Near the entrance is a handsome Drinking Fountain, where customers can help themselves without the annoyance of asking any one. This is certainly a commendable feature, and one that ladies will appreciate. Our space will not permit us to mention a tenth part of what might be said about this new and attractive dry goods store. No lady visiting this city should fail to call and see for herself. The proprietors and employees are in keeping with the establishment; they know how to be polite and prompt without annoying ladies with that overbearing persistence which is so disgusting in some places. It is safe to say that those who go there once will not only go again, but take their friends with them. They have made a new departure in not only adhering strictly to one price, but in marking every piece of goods in plain figures, so that there is no possibility of deception. Samples and prices of goods are sent free to all parts of the country. Orders are promptly filled and goods forwarded by express. Remember the name and number—S.Mosgrove & Co., 114 and 116 Kearny street, San Francisco. Centinela Colony. The Centinela Rancho, situated on the coast in a westerly direction from Los Angeles and about three miles distant from the limits of that beautiful city, contains 25,000 acres of good, arable valley land, a large portion of which is choice bottom and well adapted to the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits. Near the highest elevation is a cluster of large springs from which flows a stream of crystal water several feet wide and six or eight inches deep, which may be conducted to almost any portion of the rancho. On the adjoining ranches are strong flowing wells, and it is the opinion of Governor Downey, Mr. Garey and others that artesian water can be readily secured on a large portion of the land purchased. The surveyor is laying out a town in a central position and about three miles from a well sheltered bay. The Los Angeles and Pacific Railroad Company has been incorporated to build a railroad from the landing, where a wharf will be built running through Centinela to Los Angeles. There are orange, lemon and lime trees now loaded with fruit, 6,000 orange trees growing in the nursery, 1,500 Languedoc almond trees just commencing to bear several hundred other fruit trees, and $90,000 worth of sheep and other personal property. The soil is first rate, water good, landing convenient market good, and the land dog cheap. Centinela will sell well under the hammer. Here is a chance for those who are looking for homes. Over two hundred shares have already been subscribed for, and I presume all the stock will soon be taken. Persons anxious to join the colony should lose no time in making a personal examination of this property. These lands will be disposed of by the auctioneer, as at Lompoc, to the highest bidder, which is member of the Association or not We are prepared to purchase at highest market price, or receive op consignment, BOG, CATTLE or MARSHALL, and shall be glad to furnish information thereon to any of our friends who may address us.

Persons anxious to join the colony should lose no time in making a personal examination of this property. These lands will be disposed of by the auctioneer, as at Lompoc, to the highest bidder, whether a member of the Association or not. The purchaser of homesteads will pay ten per cent. of the purchase money on the day of sale, and ten per cent. semi-annually thereafter, with interest at ten per cent. per annum until the whole purchase price has been paid. Persons desiring homes on this beautiful ranch should secure stock equal to the value of the land desired, so that if high prices are obtained, as at Lompoc, the dividends on their stock can be applied to their final payments on their homesteads, and reduce the cost to or below the original purchase price by the company.

The following are market jobbing rates for the different varieties: Hare, plenty at $300 dozen; Rabbitts, do., at $150@200 dozen; Wild Geese, $200@300 dozen; Do., Ducks, large Mallard, $200@300 dozen; Do., small, $150@200 dozen; Quail, $125@150 dozen; Doves, 75c doz; Prairie Chickens, $150@300 per doz. DAIRY PRODUCTS. The demand has been so much greater than the supply for the past few weeks, that high prices have ruled for all the varieties. At this date we quote choice fresh roll butter in good demand, $37½c as the range for good, to extra choice. Pickled roll and packed barrel and firkin, out of market. We here record two or three car loads of Western firkin and key within the week, which sold readily at $98½c. New California cheese commands 15%17e; New York State cheese, 18%20e. Fresh California eggs quotable at 35%37½c dooz., as a jobbing rate. No Eastern or Oregon in market. The prices here given can only be quoted for this date, as a continuance of pleasant weather will give farmers an opportunity of bringing in large supplies, and the consequence must be a falling off in prices.
