[ REUTER—COPYRIGHT,] (Received Feb .16, l.ld'p.m.) . LONDON, Feb 15. Parliament was opened to-day by Royal Commission. The forecast of the Queen’s Speech, as previously telegraphed, is confirmed by the speech as delivered. The speech, however, also states that, the withdrawal of British forces from ‘Egyptian territory is proceeding as expeditiously as the dictates of prudence will admit. In reference to Ireland the speech acknowledges that the machinations of secret societies in that country demand unremitting energy and vigilance onthe part of the Executive. References is also made to a proposed measure providing for England and Scotland—an improvement made upon leasehold lands. (Deceived Feb 16, 1.80 p.m.) LONDON, Feb 15, evening. A large meeting of supporters of Mr Bradlaugh was held in Trafalgar square to-day, with the intention of escorting him to the House of Commons to claim his seat as the duly elected member for Northampton.
