HIGH WATIN AT LONDON BRIDON. Thu DAT—llinies. SL Oa Tcraomaow —kerma& R Um-- «a1t.r. 00 49 N. LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 31.: We know that it ought not to be so—we feel that it shows a blameable indifference to an important public event—but we really cannot get op • strong feeling either way about this Cambridge Election. Both candidates are so unimpeachable is point of character, so correct in point of orthodoxy, so taste fully neutral in the tint of their politics, that we feel a real diffidence in saying scything on either side. Were our personal predilections strong, our difficulties would be greater still. As matters now stand, it is hard indeed to say whether Mr. DENMAN or Mr. WALPOLE would be most injured by our support. Probably the cause of either would best be served by a partisan article from this journal in favour of his opponent. But even if we were sure of this, it would be very difficult Codetermine on behalf of which of the two candidate, the partisan article should be written. Whether to injure DENMAN by advocating the came of WALPOLE, OE WALPOLE by advocating the cease of DE1111•N —this would be to us the really per piecing question. Individually, both men have very fair claims to the honour, scab se it is, cf representing the University of Cambridge. Mr. WALPOLE is un doubtedly the older and better known of the two can didates ; bat amongst Cambridge men Mr. DENMAN hail acquired a k;nd of celebrity which is gotten in the after life of Englishmen bred together in the same university. Captain of the first Trinity boat, Captain of the Poll, first in the Classical Tripes—the younger candidate evinced a com biaation of physical and mental powers sure to exercise a captivating influence upon all the wen of his own standing. Since his call to the bar Mr. DINILtE'S legal career has been marked , 1 by the valuable characteristics of manly good sense, a power of vigorous and argumentative speak ing, chiefly evinced in the defence of prisoner, at sessions and assizes, and a high degree of moral and intellectual integrity, principally displayed in the important and delicate functions of a legal arbitrator. He is, beside*, tae son of his father, and should any oeceston arise for their manifestation, would no doubt display on the arena of public life those really high qualities of English spirit and resolute determina tion which, in defence of what he deemed to be con stitutional right., made the late Lord Dizenur so utterly regardless of the displeasure of the Crown and the opposition of the Senate. These are emend and sterling qualities—quite sufficient to render Mr. DENMAN an entirely unobjectionable representative for the University of Cambridge. We really fear we have goes too far—we trust nut : that which we have written has been simply the result of a somewhat deliberate judgment exer cised upon the facts of Mr. DENMAN'S 411.11•1' as they have been brought to our knowledge upon authority on which wo can place implicit reliance. But we beg to assure the honourable and learned aspirant, that though we have b een t h ee led to extern an I opinion se to his Sines. for the post at which he aims, we utterly disclaim all sympathy with many of the views—mere dissolving views for the meet part—which in his programme be appears to dis pose, and ice earnestly protest against the injustice of being supposed to have cast any suspicion an hie "Conservatism" by the dubious support of a Liberal journal. i As to Mr. WALPOLE, let it be at ono, admitted I that his personal fitness as • representative of the University is quite u great as, and far more generally and publicly conspicuous than, that of Mr. DENMAN. In the imposing class of our political respectabilitiee, Mr. WALPOLE takes Senior Wrangler rank. He has always " kept his gig," and kept it in the highest order and most gentlemanly style. The general soundness and sobriety of his parliamentary career, which would be unimpeachable in a mere mediocrity, Is an ' additional recommendation to a University eon stitoency in the case of a man possessed of very fair average talent. His political virtue, without being " fugitive, cloistered," or purl topical, may perhaps without offence be desig- Dated as somewhat prudish and prim. There is no danger of his being impelled, on the one side, lath the generous errors of an elevated enthusiasm : had it rot been for his indefensible vote on the Turkish Loan, we should have thought there was as little chance of his lapsing Into the opposite , extreme, of a mean compliance with the low exi gencies of faction. As to his address, it cannot be said of him that " he doth protest too mach r bet, at all events, he does not insult the good sees" Obis venerable Alma Mater by seeking to impasses kw, as a profession of principle, the luminous avowal that he is "Liberal—but Conservative." WM knows what lightnings of concealed Liberalism may not yet break forth from the convenient cloudiness of his address? When was the illustrious Sir ROBERT ever more obscure than in those political manifesta tions that immediately preceded the great hurricane which swept Lway the Corn-laws? Au ardent contemporary, who devotee to the cause of WALPOLE all the honest warmth of the great conntry-parson interest, reckons the chances of hie success, as it were, per capita, and enu merates the imposing array of " Heads" that figure on his committee list. Very ornamental no doubt ; but it would take more " Heads" than the most cannibal of New Zealandsa could conveniently string on his war girdle to outweigh those European names of BABBAGE, ♦tart, and MACADLAT, which illustrate the committee of Mr. DENMAN. After all, perhaps, may it not turn out that the seal of our contemporary is a little misdirected P Has he forgot ten that an illustrious candidate is in the field for Midhurst, whose modest hopes are doomed to an early blight if Mr. WaLroLa, unsuccessful at Cam bridge, should be driven to fall back on the con stituency which be has only jut ceased to represent P L not the true outset rather be tween Mr. GEORGE DENMAN and Mr. fiamora WAD.- WI, than between the former and Mr.War.routP It la painful to reflect on the possibility that Mr. Denman's success at the University might deprive the House of Comm, us of one so likely to adorn its camells se the elcquent Recorder of Hull, the judi cious abbreviator of " Blackstone," the immortal author of "The Lily and the Bee." Nevertheless, Even to this sacrifice a strong sense of public duty might impel us to submit. Could we see any lust and reasonable cause of "going in" for DENMAN rather than for WALPOLZ, we meat perforce reconcile suasive' to the frightful alternative of seeing Wearies go to the wall, where, by-the-bye, in the simple days of chalk and Dr. EADY, an illustrious namesake has often been before him. But, as we said at the outset, we really cannot prevail upon ourselves to diminish the chances of either of these excellent and respectable men, by pronouncing decidedly for either. With a slight alteration, we venture to reproduce a certain Mayas of a certain wicked wit, as conveying with sufficient accuracy our feelings on this momentous occasion : Danwarr's mild, end WALPOLE, too (No ono o'er tlos fact denied) ; • Which is mildest of the two, Csatbridp csa alone dreide. Which is mildest, Cambridge, say— Choose between them, Cambridge, pray. Upon the relative merits of the mild liberalism of DENMAN and the mild toryisni of WALPOLE it is not for us to attempt to decide : we wash our bands of the business altogether, and leave the diffi• salt discrimination to the unassisted sagacity of the great sod venerable community which cannot go far wrong sport whichever candidate its choice may tall. ttIONIm p THE EXPRESS.

The doors of the hones of Lords were thrown open to thetas who had the privilege of ad minion, shortly after twelve o'clock, and from that period, up to the entrance of her Majesty, there was gee continual raccession of arrivals. The greeter pro portion of the anditory consisted of ladies attired in the most varied and perfect toilets, whi:e the chamber., galls r i ~, and corridon through which her Majesty passed mn her way to the throne were equally crowded with fair speciaton. The hishope' benches were appropriated to the caps deplosetique, and wotleicke on the floor to the Judges, most of whom were in attendance. The foreign ambassadors appeared in their official uniforms, end their presence served to increase the splendour of the 'pewee!" which the interior of the ch ,mtier presented on the arrival of her Majesty. The royal procession, which left Backhighein Palace shortly before 2 o'clock, exhibited no variation from former years. There was the used display ef footmen in state liv.rier, beweaten w,th javelin staffs, and well-mounted dragoon', while the venerable state equipage was drawn, as of old, by eight magnificent wean.- coloured horses, and preceded by several royal carriages containing the Lord Chamberlain (the Mai quis of Breadelbani ), the Lord 11:iwerd, the Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard (Viseount Sidney), the Treasurer of the Household (Lord Druslanrip), the Keeper of the Privy Parse, and the Master (f the Household.

Mr LOADS AND GINTLIDIEN, Since the chaps of the last session of parliament the arms of the Allies have achieved a signal and important success. Sebastopol, the great stronghold of Russia in the Black Bea, has yielded to the persevering constancy and to the cluing bravery of the allied forces. The naval and military pre paration■ for the ensuing year have necessarily occupied my serious attention; but while deter mined to omit no effort which could give vigour to the operations of the war, I have deemed it my duty not to decline any overtures which might reasonably afford a prospect of a safe acid honourable peace. Accordingly, when the Emperor of Austria lately offered to myself and to my august ally the Emperor of the French, to employ his good offices with the Emperor of Russia, with a view to endeavour to bring about an amicable adjustment of the mitten at issue between the contending Powers, I consented, in concert with my Allies, to accept the offer thus made, and I have the satisfaction to in form you that certain conditions have been agreed upon which I hope may prove the fouudition of a general treaty of peace. Negotiations foe such a treaty will shortly be opened at Paris. In conducting those negotiations I shall be careful not to loss sight of the objects for which the war was undertaken; and I shall deem it right in no degree to relax my naval and military preparations until a satisfactory treaty of peace shall have been con cluded. Although the war in which I am ergsged was brought on by events in the South of Europe, my attention has not been withdrawn from the state of things in the North, and, in conjunction with the Emperor of the French, I have concluded, with the King of Sweden and Norway, a treaty containing de fensive engagements applicable to his dominions, and tending to the preservation of the balance of power in that part of Europe. I have also oOncloded a Treaty of Frieodship,Com coerce, and Navigation with the Republic of Chili. I have given directions that these treaties shall be laid before you. GENTLEMEN 01 THR HOLISM Of COMMONS, The estimates for the enauiog year will be laid before you. You will find them framed in such • manner u to provide for the exigencies of war, if peace should unfertonstely not be concluded. MY LORDS AND GENTLEND N, It is gratifying to me to observe that, notwith- standing the pressure of the war, and the burthene and sacrifices which it has unavoidably imposed upon my people, the resources of my empire remain unimpaired. I rely with confidence on the manly spirit and enlightened patriotism of my loyal subjects for a continuance of that support which they have 53 nobly afforded me, and they may be assured that I shall not call upon them for exertions beyond what may be required by a due regard for the great inte rests, the honour, and the dignity of the empire. There are many subjects connected with internal improvement which I recommend to your attentive The difference which exists in several important particulars bet wean the commercial laws of Scotland, and those of the other parts of the United Kingdom, Du occasioned inconvenience to a large portion of my subjects engaged in trade. Measures will be proposed to you for remedying this eviL Measures will also be proposed to you for improving the laws relating to partnership by simplifying those lawn, and thee rendering move easy the employment of capital in commerce. The system under which merchant •hipping is I liable to pay local dues and redoing tolls, has been the subject of much complaint. Measures will be proposed to you for affording relief in regard to those matters. Oilier important mesons tor improving the law in Great Britain and in Inland will be proposed to 1700, which will, I doubt not, receive your attentive consideration. Upon thusnad all other matters upon which you may deliberate, I fervently pray that the blessing of Divine Providence may favour your councils, and guide them to the promotion of the great object of my unvarying solicitude, the welfare and the hap piness of my people. At the oonclasion of the Speech, her Majesty left the Home, and d to Buckingham Palace in the order in which she cane from it. The House then adjourned until five o'clock. There will not be any amendment to the Address in 111141Ver to the Speech from the Throne, prof o ed by the Coaservative panel in either Loose of parliaokut. It was rumoured that Mr. Roebuck would pro, on one, but we undentanl that this is c of the cam. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. RUSSIAN DESPATCH. Yesterday's Independence Beige contains the text of the despatch addreesed by Count Nesse!rode to Prince Gortcbakoff (the representative of Russia at Vienna), io transmitting to him the counter proposi tions by which the Russian Government first replied to the propositions delivered by Count Esterhary. It will be seen that it retains a degree ot impor tance, notwithstanding the subsequent unreserved acceptance by Russia ot the Austrian proposals. DESPATCH OF COUNT DE NESSEL RODE TO PRINCE GOR CHAROFF, ST. PETERSBURG, J•r. 5. _ _ Since his return to ISt. Petersburg, the Envoy of Austria hes hastened to communicate to me the despatch scldressen to him by Count 8001, dated Dae 16, and a copy of which I have the tumour to subjoin. In deliverieg this communi cation Count Egerhosy has handed me at the same time • do cument containing the indication of some principles which, an-carding to the Cabinet of Vienna, would wellies by the fast of the acceptance by the belligerent Power. the value of preliminaries of peace, and once signed, might be followed by an armistice and definitive nego tiations. I have not failed to submit these d .cumen• to our august master the Emperor. Hie Imperial Majesty has been pleased to examine them with the sincere desire to equitably solve the queeti in which keeps Europe under arms, and covers it with mourning. He hesitates the less to lend the hand to the efforts bp which the Emperor of Austria seeks to prove his attach ment t the work of peacy, from the fact that, very recently, consultiag only the in.ereets of his pe .ples and his a utiments of humanity, he did not hesitate to spontaneoualy anticipate the j aril: desires of Europe. En.ooraged like the Cabinet of Vienna by signs that the , negoiatio. s might be resumed upon the ,bats of the' Four Points as they bad been formulated in the coo- . ferences et Vienna, his Majesty the Emperor adopted a resoltstioa which he believed calculated to give a Cur soled= to that one of the Four Points which d the rupture of the conferences of Vienna. By this resolu. tion the Imperial Cabinet completed the guarantees necessary to • durable and effective (inicsse) peace, and completely assured Europe against the return of the seating deplorable complications. He then h ed th.t the C..bi,et of Vienna, •o which he ha toned to communicate this re o:utioe, woad use it to ameliy toe preliminary questions in:ended to pule le the definitive nepotist on.. Th a tope ha not been corn pleely realised. The Em, e or, our august master, has seen this w.th regret; towev.r, he w.ehe to give a ne • proof of his p scale intenticn. by en erirg ti tt tie pets wh.eh the Austrian Cab net has beasved it its duty to °lea to • reconcilia ion. After having mamma, weighed the communications which have been made .0 it, and after having '<sight to harm° lin them with the necessities of the atteistioa of the moment, the Imperial Cabinet hastens to make kcowa its determine .to oar exciting, wails inviting oe ici bring it win.- . ciat deity to the k °wings of the Austrian Government. Wei beg the Court of Vans • to will convince its If that the consideration which we are about to develops are In spired by the sincere desire to avoid the rocks upon which' the lest conferences split. We have nothing more at heart then to see cur observations received in the sentiment of equity which dictated them, and a concurrence with as to bring abut the cloned end. fibre entering into the examination of the details of the document of the Cabinet of Vienna, we have two general observations to make ; the use relates to the cmtents of the Fifth Point. I■ reading it, we asked oarselvn if' • principle so vaguely conceived, and which opine the door to a negotiation altogether new, if even a complete agreement was made upon the Four Points, the hope of peace could be realised 7 M. le hi nib. ter of Foreign Affairs has, it is true, anticipated this ap- prehension, in stating in his despatch " that be will sot delay .0 SWIM to the Courts of Paris and London the confidence which animates him, that they will not use the right of presenting special conditions but in a European interest, and in such a manner as not to offer serious ob stacles to the re-stablishment of peace." These assurances, however, are themselves not precise enough to destroy our o'jixtioca in eiressetascos so g awe as thosi in sixth Swope is row plated. the once tient) which the 'none in qcestion inspiies s &loot ha e but a vexation influence in depriving the p ebullitions, even when accepted and a s pen, of V.* ha a tel of definite st;pu lat on. It is, ther, in the well understood interest of peace that we Moist upon the striking out of the fifth clause, and this so much more that the European interest, which it seems to have in view, neeleuly complicatio a question already thorny, and belonging by its nature to the deciaion not of the parties engaged in the &noel contest only, but to that of a European congress, sole arbi- Mane of existing transaction,. The Cabinet of Vienna will doubtless know bow to appreciate then considerations, and give them effect in the intereet of Pease with the Allies. The second general objection which the ensemble of the document of the Austrian Cabinet promote is that—contrary to the original idea which was dominant is the programme of the Pour Points, and which visa to eatablish the political system of the East upon the bone( a perfect parity between the two frontier powers—the principles laid down by the, Austrian Cabinet demand material guarantees from Russia only, and require none of the Ottoman Porte. Is it not to In feared, in thus multi plying the obligations which tall upon one of the parties, germs of future complications will, contrary to the end which we have in view, be crested ? This is a question which we leave to the la. - artist meditation of the Cabinet of Vienna and to is long eaperieace in Eastern affair,. Neverthisse in railing the general objections against the predominating idea of the document welch has been pre noted to as, we neither wish to prejudice it nor bespeak a reserve, nor to evade the discussion of details. Oar deter misname are takes. We record them here, in motions successively the different articles of the Amanita docu ment. Toe first article dots not excite in its four first paragraphs any oblettion, but the Imperial C.b net a not eble to sd pt the titth paragraph. WOI a admitting as applicable to the existing situatton of the belligerent puttee 'hit the evacua tion of the strong places occupied by the Antes upon the Revisits soil can be effected by means of an exchange of ter ritories with Russia, we cannot accept the mode in which it is proposed to carry out this exchange. The import ant territorial concession di inauded, under the title of " Rectification of the Frostier," appears to be so ranch the leas justified from the fact that Russia has in its hands a territory and a conquered fortress in Tat k-y, which, by their position and imp.riaoce, are calculated to serve as the subjects of exchange. Consequently we have entirely suppressed the paragraph in question, and b Imitated for it another, conceived in the bents indicated above. At t►e same time,* fi■sl agreement upon this ',abject might be reserved to the plenipotentiaries entrusted with the de finitive negoti►tion. The second article, relating to t►e Danube, has not aces shined any objection. The Imperial Cabinet is ready to emcee in the developments of the prianiplee there enun ciated. la feet, the second article only reproduces in sabataece the proposition laid down in advsoce by the lin perial Cattiest, and which your Eacellency was ctorged to somennicate to the Austrian goverrmete. We adopt it, and are willing that the convention agreed to, to this area between Roods tad the Porte he pre. ♦andy approved of by the signing Powers. As to the it at, we have introduced but two variation,. The one has to other Ind than to lc , der the reading (redaction) rleartr, i■ cider to avoid aU Iniawlentiodtsg. l M can r adds but a word which relates more especially to the means of sun E.. lases which are indispensable upon the eastern coasts of the Black Bea, in order to prevent the slave trade, which we have, up to the present time, succeeded in represeing As to the Fourth Point, the Emperor only aspires to raise his voice ill 11511111 M with the other European Porten im favour of his co-religiohiste, and to join in the deliberations whica take place to want/ to the Christian subjects of the Sultan their religions and political rights. Such, my Prince, is our mode of vise ine the Austrian document . The mumble of the considerations which we have dirt - loped will, 1 doubt not, convey the cohnction that our reply, far from amounting to a rt fusel, is • frank and , 111 cent essay to Inter into the path which Austria behests is open to the re-estsblisbment of peace. Further, we so pleased to think that it our pacifio dispositions are shar.d by the Allies, the variations which we have introduced into the ideas emitted by the Cabinet of Vienna will enentially c tribute to convert its preparatory document into prv— tica.l preliminaries of a serious and efficacious peace. Whatever may happen, the Imperial Cabinet, after having thus conscientiously fulfilled its part in the immerse task which belongs to the powers engaged in the conteit, will not have to recoil upon awl( the responsibility of the grave consequences which would result from the failure of the work of peace. It repro it beforehand, with all :he energy which the cousciousi , ess of integrity imparts. Be so good as to receive, &c. atteatmx READING. AVITEIAN READING 1.

MARSEILLES, WEDNIBDAY• The steamer Borystbeoe, which left Constantinople on the 21st, has arrived. The news of the acceptation by Russia of the propositions made by Austria was communicated to the Turkish government by Baron de Prokesch Osten, the Austrian internuncio. The sews was generally received with satisfaction by the Turks, but the Or( eks evinced mistrust. A courier had immediately been sent to the Crimea. The ces sation of hostilities was soon expected. The intelligence from the Crimea came down to the nth. The Russian batteries Bitboquet and Grin galet continued their fire. The victualling of Eizeroum was becoming -cry difficult from the very bad state of the roads and the great quantity of snow that had fallen. _ . Letters from Kertch state that on the 9.11 the Russians advanced on the ice to attack that place, bat their plans were defeatid by the vigilance of General Vivian. The bays of Odessa and Kinburn are frozen over, but in the Crimes the weather has become milder. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOW Orl OWN CORENSFONDINTI PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENTN4. There is a remarkable abstnce of anything like political news tc-day The greater part of the jour nals reproduce, as the latest and most important intel ligence, the fact on the authority of the Coneitu- Cloned, that the "preliminaries" will not be signed till the Congress meets in Paris, and that no armistice will be proclaimed sooner. The use of the technical word "Congress," instead of CJII• ferences, is much noticed. It appears by the follow• lug despatch, received this evening, that the some• thing signed, or to be signed, at Vienna, which we here are now agreed to call but a protocol, is slill spoken of there as "preliminaries." This despatch also seeks to prepare us for a strong infusion of Germanism in the Cuogress : Vienna, Jar. 30 . , The signatures of the preliminsrirs will probably be Oared tn-Jay. The Oat. I klatch l'ost (a seini.otrical jourosi) says that Austria will shortly asu the Germanic Diet to adopt the preliminary points, so that Germ►ny nasy be in a position to to►e part in the Conferences. The telegraphic report of the Queen's speech, which will be received here to-morrow afternoon, ie anxiously looked tor, but the result will probably be a disappointment, for in the present state of the tiations it is unlikely that her Majesty can be ad vised to say anything very definitive. It is reported that the Sardinian government is very much dissatisfied with the secondary part likely to be assigned to it in the Con ferences. It really seems not very equitable under the circumstances, that while Turkey is to be ad mitted to take part in the whole deliberation, Sardinia is to wait in a back room, and only come in when sent for. . .
