Temposaair—Menft. Mr U.. LONDON, MONDAY, PBBRU.42Ir 11. THE institution which now flourishes under the name of the " Society for the Buttourageensut et Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce," although arm more admirably conducted than at the present mo ment, must be content to abdicate a poetics of these functions which it ones amused. Arts, commerce, and manufactures art utterly beyond the reach of the encouragement of any society. The industrial arts, from mere pigmies, have grown to be giants. Dsy by day they lead captive the bidden forces of nature, and prem them into their service. At the command of the Arts chemistry does the work of millions of men and horses ; the sun turns artist ; with a little acid and metal the work of the gilder is executed, and that with far mere recision and economy than could be achieved by the most skilful workers in gold. Artists, seerchants, and mandacturen used no " en couragement t" they it is who mooting* the world. They Ili our laud with beauty and with plenty. They support our state, enable us to vindicate oar dignity, they protect as against oppreesiou, they dethrone despots. Ia this light, so society is needed for their lirotection. Bat there is no reason why a society which in termer times has does something in the troy of " en couragement " shaald is... hum working alto gether. There is still a vast work left to be done in training the individuals who are to take charge of the works of Art, Illeaufastures, and Commerce. That these persons should be grounded in the principles of Art is self-evident, and the Society of Arts may with great propriety consider that it I. virtually ful filling the ends of its mention by labouring to 'loci date sad publish these principles amongst the classes whose lives are to be spent in carrying than into practice. The SesietydArtelossannonneeditaintention doom. mewing an attempt in this direction by instituting an examination by ecompetent persons of snob members el the elms@ for Malt instruction in Mechanics' Institutes sad Atkisson= as an willing to hay' their sequirommits tested. A large ;ember of hbortay and mimed& gentlemen, of the highest die tbstioa. have consented to act as examiners, and the , bet examinatioa is to be held next June. It re mains to be mesa what shot this announcement will have =Naga the members of the foot hundred institutions connected with the society. Without venturing to predict thorough suntan to this mese= which, after all, met depend upon the mum in which it is worked out, there is every reason to believe that meek good may rank from it to the mass of adult ederatios. The Society of Arts by means of these smosiatione extending itself into all poets of the kingdom, containing amongst its members the majority of the diatiogalahed mem of the country, aid working ander a judicious and visages management, may do meth towards solving the pro. bless of edsestica. Many of the dint:alike hitherto found insuperable by the State, by the Church, and by the Sects when they approach the problem do not exist in the num of the Society of Arta. The Society has • large field of operation before it is which it will be impeded neither by political nee by religious preju dice. It steads oe a antral territory, and may coma upon se-erred= from all porde& The offset of a judicious system of examination ea the adult students in Meehaaied Lestitutions would be to give the Institutions themselves more vitality. Most el them have clams for the study of =does breathes of literature and of seism= bat in flew of these classes is displayed that lib whit* is visible eves is the elms, of ea =Haag shoot The reason is evident. With the selwasthey his elms-work is hie bestow ; with the adult stagiest the class-work Is in gametal a Mere pastime, or he takes it up with a =gee wish to sepply the defloisasise of early edam- ties, or to obtain that knowledge which he sees so highly prised by those to a station above his own. But these iedesemeals are feeble sad shadowy, com pared with the athletics whisk errs the school-boy to study, or the rage* of distinction and wealth which lighten; the lamer of the workman. But let the adult student see that there is some] substeatial malt to be produced by a come of seecesetel study, sled what before wee& pastime and • dream will beense a tempting reality. Let him bow that if be can only attain a certain standard of ability hie merit will be resorbed by • large mad islesatial body whose verdict will not be disputed, mad the studies width in time past gave him Ms mere then men radio pleasure will sow afford him sod= sejoymeat, and he will labour on with the =atoms= of earnest ambition. The same effect will be predated on the teacher. The tutor in a school is energetic became he has to submit the result of his Moan to the penal. of his pupils mad to • vigilant public. The basher in ea Institute knows that kis pupils ere hie only judges, sad he is able, if he plows. to sagely use their locoman as the sleek to his be& dewy. The adult workman who, having received no education to youth, acquires a few shreds of know ledge late in lib, is apt to magnify hi. acquisition; sad to feacy there is little more to acquire. Show him the test to which he meet submit in order that he may be considered to taw something, and his ryes will be °posed. He will labour at his studies es he laboured at his work. knowing that a valetas dal result will be obtained in both sow, Examinations foe the members of Meshanier Institutes will give a powerfal impetus to the movement, of which the Watkins WWII Colleges are a remarkable feateset. There ought to be so reason why a mesa who, by the fault or widens= of his parents, hen received no in struction in early life, should be deeded the facilities of repairing the =dation in after years. Until lately mineadoe, in its ordinary sonse, was supposed to ter sisals the moonset the boy left school. The saes= of the Working Men's College shows that the men themesivee, in easy iestaneas, consider this m an antiquated error. If the ?docksides' Institutes did not bring out the feeling of this error so distiactly, it is beaus they were imperfectly organised, sad bemuse they led to nothing. A esedileate from a body of =ambers comprising auk Rea m the Astronomer- Beyel, the Dean of Heasroan, sad a crowd of other sea scares!, Mee distinguished, will be es highly prised by the weave= as is the B.A. degree by the Calamity man. The Mechanism' Institute where he acquired the knowledge by which he was prepared for examination will be =domed to him for the ser vices it hen rendered him. He will leek apes it as the collegian le after lib leas back upon kis selleg•, bobs& the Ifosiety of Arts will, if Ito abets be essesseful, stand in the same relation to the Machuice Institutes sa the University dam to the Colleges it =stains. If the Society semeede in imaging 400 instigation at reseal little better i then sere leehire halls or consort roma, into eeta blialunents when the working adult popalatioa shall be esebkd to repair the defects of early education, it will bare conferred a benefit upon the country far beyond any that it has asyetposfoored—it will hare planted Colleges. Everything, however, will depend upon the man ner in which the work is performed. Above all will it be necessary to choose judicious examiners, and to warn them against the rock upon which the competitive examination at Woolwich is likely to split. Papers must not be written to astonish the world and to show the acquinesentsof the examiner, but to tent the capabilities of the pupil The public moreover, upon whose favour the success of the scheme most ultimately depend, will insist upon knowing something definite with regard to the course to be adopted, and the Society ought to give as full as =planation of its intended course as possible. If this is done the public will be content, and will patiently await the result. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY Id. 1856. CI it Court. WINDSOR, Fah, 9.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AT PARIS. Bosom Brianow, the Russian plenipotentiary, who, acoording to a previous aneouneement, was to have arrived in Paris yesterday, has stopped at Darmstadt on his way, but is expected to be at Paris before the end of the week. According to the last advices from Vienna, Baron de Boarqueney was to leave that eity on the 7th, and will probably reach Paris to-marrow. Coma Baol is expected to arrive at the French capital on the 18th. The second representative of Russia, Coast Orloff, was to leave St. Petersburg on Saturday, and will find himself at Paris on the 18th or 18th. Finally, it is said that Lord Clarendon will be at Paris by the 17th, and Asti Pacha by the 18th. Thus the Conferences would open on the day already named, viz., the 20th. The Post of this morning, however thinks that the first sitting will take pleas on Monday. The Marquis de Moulder, the French Ambassador at Berlin, arrived in Paris on Saturday, on a visit for some days. This visit is probably not uncon nected with the intrigues which are still going on to obtain admission for Proud* to the Congress. The Nord says that Count Colloredo, the Austrian Minister at our mart, will proceed to Paris before the close of the present month, in order to have an inter view with Count Buol.

(MON ODA OWN 00111NIONDONT.) PARIS, Ihinma Emus°. The funeral obsequies of Sister Rosalie were pen. formed yesterday with extraordinary pomp. M. Bt. Arnaud and Madame St. Arnaud (the brother and the widow of the late Marshal) were =cog the mourners. The eoifin was escorted by a picquet of honour of the 13th Regiment, and followed by a vast crowd of the poor of the 12th arrondissement. M. St. Arnaud pronounced a speech over the grave. The Abbe Faleimagne gave notice that • funeral ser mon would be preached in St. Each, on Friday next. Sister Rosalie was a member of an aristocratic family. She wee decorated by the pre sent Emperor for her various acts of self-devotion. It is stated that the Emperor and Empress frequently paid her visits, and entrusted her with large sums to dispense in charity. The protestant, of the Haute Vienne--a sect of in dependents who will receive no salary from the state, l and whose particular form of worship is not one of those recognised by the law have I been again condemned by a court of justice for an infringement of the decree of March 25, 1862, whist unlicensed assemblages of more than twenty persons. The sentences are this time heavier than before, on the ground, as the court states in its judgment, that the parties knew they were contravening the law as interpreted by pre vious judgments. Fines amounting to 9,000 fr. are inflicted upon the seven individuals found guilty. _ . Of the fifteen students and others who were tried yesterday for making a disturbance at M. Nisard's lecture, fourteen have been 000victed. One youth named Pouret, whose only offence was that of having shrugged his shoulders when told by the police to go away, is acquitted. The sentences are comparatively light. Two professors, M.M. Roland and Rogeard (the latter thirty-five years of age), and a man of no profession named Lefort, are sentenced to six months' imprisonment. But of the young men the three who cams off worst have only three months' imprisonment, four others are sentenced to one month, and the remaining escape with a fine of 100 fr. The Advocate Imperial did not press for a heavy punishment, out of com passion, as he said, for the young men, " whose fu ture prospects were at stake," and who had forgotten the intereets of their family and " their mother's last kiss." PAEIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The following paragraph in the Moniteur, an nouncing the fact that Sardinia will be represented at the 000grees by two plenipotentiaries, as well as the other powers parties to it, is a pregnant confir mation of the news I announced some days sine*, that Sardinia would be admitted to take part in the nego defines on a footing of perfect equality. We read in the Moniteur:—" The Chevalier Maasinso d'Azeglio had been at first flied upon by the Piedmont/se go- vernment to take part in the negotiations about to open in Paris. We now learn that the Count de Cavour, President of the Sardinian Council of Minis ter, and the Marquis de Villunarina, the Sardinian minister at Paris, have been definitively named as the plenipotentiaries of that power at the congress of Paris.• It is to be noticed that the Moniker makes nee of the term "Oregneee This 'unities Pays says:—" It is positively stated that the memos will open on the last day of the three weeks fixed as the extreme limit by the pro- toool of Feb. I. It is added that an *naiades of six weeks will be signed in the first sitting." The latter news, however, cannot be accepted ea certain on the authority of the Pays, bemuse the peace pre liminaries come first in order to be signed before the armistice, and the unanimity of the plenipotentiaries will be wonderful indeed if they can come to an agreement upon these in the first half of their first sitting. It is evident that no French journal, how ever officially inspired, an have any sufficient grounds to predict such an event. The Bourse has been in a very uncertain state to day. The opening quotations were decidedly weak. Boole unesethess was felt in oosseqessos of a state ment from View, circulated in a leading article of ' the etsennblete Nationale, that it was the intention of Russia to ask for an armistice of four months. Mis givings we entertained as to the result of nerds. dons already expected to be so protracted as this news would imply. The feeling of depreseion was however bet of short duration, for every fall of a few centimes brought buyers forward. In the middle of the day Weems was brisk, but some considerable sales within the last quarter of an hour brought down quotatioe• from the highest point. The Rents dosed for cash at 72.40, with a ries of 40c., sad for account at 72.76., with a rise of 6c.

The steam transport Indiana, which arrived o n th e , evening of the following day, brought private letters i which stated that telegraphic intelligence had reached Constantinople from Vienna of the terms having bees accepted, and it was also reported by some of the par angers that at the time of the Indiana leaving Load Stratford de Redoliffe was holding an interview with I the Sultan on the subject. Another mail has arrived this afternoon, and the despatches brought by it may i probably set the question at rest. The belief in a cessation of hostilities being close at hand has given Irise to various reports respecting the movements and ! destinations of the several divisions of the army. Some of these are stated to be determined on in case of peace being declared, but they are scarcely worthy of notice at present. The blasting et some further portions of the Kara belnaia Docks in charge of the English engineers took place on the 26th inst. Some time after the explosion, when it was supposed that all the smoke and deleterious gases had been dissipated, some men descended a shaft to proceed with the mining opera tions. The shaft communicated with a gallery where the poisonous vapours, as was proved by the effects, were still confined, for the men had no sooner reached the bottom of the shaft than they were seized with violent coughing, and, in addition, the usual symptoms which mark poisoning by charcoal gas. The men who were brought into the open air soonest recovered most quickly, but in the instance of one soldier of the 48th Re giment, who was for some time in the shaft, all efforts to restore animation were fruitless. An example of great personal cou rage and disinterested energy is quoted in connexion with the attempt to save the life of this unfortunate soldier. A man of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment, who was one of those to descend the shaft, had himself been seized with giddiness and loss of consciousness, and some time elapsed before he was recovered. He had no sooner regained his senses, however, than observing the absence of the man of the 48th, who, he was aware, had gone into the shaft, he seized a rope, and went on the perilous errand of searching for him. He succeeded in bring ing him up, but it was too late: he was quite dead from suffocation. Some detached portions of the masonry of the docks still remain to be blown up. I The French have completed their part of the task. Our engineers explain that, by this piece-meal de. struction, a more complete breaking up of the stria* , turn and foundations of the docks has been ensured : ° the destruction on the French side, it is asserted, has I not been so thorough and extensive. A large number of men of the Siege-train Artil lery have left camp to proceed to England. It was arranged that seventeen companies should return. In ' lorder to erasure all men going to whose health the voyage and stay in England might be beneficial, the weakly men and oldest campaigners were selected, not only from the siege foroe, but also from the gun ners of the field batteries. These men were drafted , into the companies of the siege•train going home, and replaced by the more robust artillerymen from the latter service. A double advantage will thus be gained; the siege train companies who are no longer required here will comprise men to all of whom the , change to England will be beneficial, and the Artil lery force remaining in the field will consist of all " strong and picked men. On Saturday, the 26th, twenty-six men, chiefly r belonging to the Light Division, who had been taken prisoners at the final assault on the Great Reda°, landed from her Majesty's steamer Firebrand, at Komarek. They left Odessa on the morning of the 23rd instant. They were accompanied by ' seventeen men of the 10th Hosiers who fell into the enemy's hands at Xertob, by a few sailors, and by one of the ship-stewards who acoom , panied Lieutenant Geneste, and was captured at Hango. The Firebrand called at %Whiten on its way to Hai:etch. The men who were taken pet , sonars at the attack on the Great Redan were hurried mese the raft bridge early in the afternoon, imme diately after the failure of the attack. T hey met , troops still coming over towards Fort Nicholas. As . j they wooed the bridge to reach the north side, and r I even after reaching Fort Michailoff on the north r share, they were in frequent danger from oar shot and shelL They were detained two days in an en closed fort ea the north side, immediately above Fort Michailoff, and then removed to Simpheropol. i After a short stay there, they were marched to Elisabethgrad, where they were kept one month, and then sent to Odeon. At Odessa they remained until given up to the Firebrand. They appear to have been on the whole well treated, more especially daring the time they paned at Odessa. According to reports brought by the officers of the Firebrand, peace was confidently ewted by the merchants at that poet when the vessel left. It is to have to relate that another ease has in the army which will lead to a general court-martial far alleged murder. The two instances which recently accerred, and which terminated in each ewe in a verdict of manaleughteromeleed attn. thee, the more so that the B r itish faros has hitherto been ssttt free from crimes of serious magwitude. Bemembwing the circumstances under wink this large army has been placed, it has been a manse of favourable comment that no example of capital psheisat has yet been furnished by it. It is feared that the power to make this creditable ewer. lion will shortly awe. If true as related, the circa.- stances under which the serious offence alluded to has occurred are of a very aggravated nature. A young soldier of the 77th Regiment, under nineteen years of age, but of very bad character, was placed in the hos- pital of his meant for wounds inflicted by himself on his hand, with a view to render himself unfit for military service. He had been tried by a court martial for selling some government property, and had been sentenced to a certain punishment for this offence. It was subsequent to this trial, that he took a razor, and, drawing it across his fingers, tried to mutilate himself so that be might not in future be able to handle a musket. He was placed under the surgeon's care for these wounds. With him in hospital, was an artilleryman belonging to the right siege train, who had been severely wounded in the chest at the great explosion on the 16th November last, by the bursting of a shell. This artilleryman, whose injuries were very severe, and who was recovering bat slowly, was placed in a hut by himself, for the advantage of better air and special treatment. The soldier of the 77th, whose wounds across the fingers did not prevent him from walking about, sometimes went, it appears , into this hospital hut. On Friday evening, the 26th, he went in and borrowed a small tam of money from the artilleryman. The latter kept his money under his pillow, and while handing the alining or two which ke had been asked for, showed at the same time a number of sovereigns which he bed in his purse. The sight of this money, twelve pounds, acted as the tem pt ation to the crime which followed. The following morn- hag. taking an opportunity when all the hos- pital attendant, were away from the hut, and fancying apparently that his victim was asleep, the 77th soldier seized a bar of iron, and aimed a blow at the artilleryman's bead. He was awake, however, or roused, and bad time both to call oat " murder," and to raise his ana. The arm was broken, and a second blow stunned him, but the alarm brought the hospital sergeant to the but before the perpetrator ot the crime could edeet his escape. A struggle ensued, bat the villain was quickly sreared, and is now a pri soner awaitiag his trial for murder. The artilleryman lingered till the afternoon of the day following on which he was assaulted, and then died. may be doubts raised on the trial to what extent this soldier's death was owing to the consequences oldie injuries he bad received at the time of the explosion, and bow far attributable to the direct injuries re ceived ea the 26th but. ; but the apparently widest motives of the aggressor, his previous very bad cha racter, and a feeling which appears to have been held even by the commander-tn-chief, that the sea tenoe of the court-martial in a recent in stance was too lenient, may cause the ex treme penalty, should the court-martial Sod the prisoner guilty of murder, to be carried into effect. It is stated that the prisoner—who has not long enlisted in the 77th Regiment—has acknow ledged to have enlisted for the purpose of escaping from the consequences of a robbery he had committed in England. The weather has continued remarkably mild. Southerly and westerly winds have prevailed. To-day it has been blowing almost a gale, with great ad -1 vantage to the camp ground, for, excepting in places I where the mud was very deep, the surface has be- I come solid and dry, and capable of being traversed by foot passengers, which scarcely was possible be-. fore. The roads are in good order. THE UNITED STATES. The United States Ocean Mail steamer Hermann arrived at Southampton yesterday, on her way to Bremen. She left New York on the 26th ult. She brought a very heavy mail, consisting of nearly 50 sacks of letters and newspapers, the largest mail from New York ever landed at Southampton. Atter coal ing, the Hermann proceeds on to Bremen to-day. The United States Mail steamer Baltic arrived at New York from Liverpool on the 24th ult. The Washington from Southampton arrived at New York on the 21st ult., and the Africa, hence, on the 23rd ult. The acceptance of the Esterhezy propositions by Russia, was not known at New York when the Her man left, the latest date from England being Jan uary 12. The House of Representatives had not been organ ized when the Hermann left New York. Three ballots for a speaker took place on the evening of January 2isth, the last being the 127th, with the following results;—Bank., 94; Fuller, 23; Ott, 64; guttering, 12. Nececsary for choice 98. Orr, who appears on this list, replaces Richardson, the democrat, who on the 23rd resigned his preten sions to the chair. At the meeting of democrats held at the capital at which this resignation took place Mr. Richardson declared that he retired from the position his party bad assigned him with feelings of the deepest gloom. He could not believe that his with drawal would remove discord from the counsels of the party or of the country. The general tenor of the speeches by other gentlemen was that the demo crats must adhere to the platform adopted when Richardson was nominated, and that they must re peat their unchangeable hostility to republicanism and to know-nothingism. This was the unanimous opinion of the meeting, and a resolution to that effect was unanimously adopted. The President has sent a second rat/Inge to Con gress, and it has been received in Lath houses. It relates to Kansas, and attributes the unhappy condi tion of thinp in the territory partly to the mal-admi nistration of Governor Reeder, partly to the birder ruffians, and partly to the abilition propagandists. He hints that the erection of Kansas into a state would put an end to the troubles. The subject was referred to the committee on territories. A terrible excitement was raised when the President's Message upon Kansas was announced, the black republicans being desirous of rejecting it altogether. They were voted down, however, and the document was received. The New York Courier and Inquirer of the 26th says there is full ground for the belief that the un settled points between the two countries will be soon adjusted, and that there will be an increased and profitable trade for the ensuing year. The Congressional proceedings on the 24th were important. In the Senate Mr. Clayton presented a communication from the President, covering a letter dated Jan. 19, 1853, from Lord John Russell to Mr. Crampton_ ,on Central American affairs. It declares that the British government intends strictly to carry out the Clayton Balwer treaty, and to assume no sovereignty, directly or indirectly, in Central Ame rica. Mr. Clayton criticised this letter, and the policy of Great Britain, in terms of great severity and Mr. Cass announced that on Monday next he should address the Senate on the subject. An im portant debate, in which the whole subject of United States relations with England will be discussed, will commence on that day. The Washington correspondent of the Tribune says Amid conflictine statements, information from an an thentio source warrants the assertion that to far from • special massage relative to oar foreign affairs being about to be sent t t e tier branch of Congress, it has not at anytime been contemplated, much less has it been the subject of cabinet consultstant. Trough this government has de mended the recall of Mr. Crampton and the Briti,h con nate aimed in recruitiog for the Crimes, It can as confi dently be stated that there has been no purpose in or out of the Cabinet to withdraw Mr. Buchanan from England, un less at his own request. Nay Vat ion', he tween Great Britain and the United States are still opts, despatches having been sent eat by the last steamer, and toothier has oc retried since the transm'asion of the Prfsid•at's Message to Congress to change the aspect of our relations thread. Mr. Boyar's resolution, offered in the house to-day, declaring our relations with Great Britain to be of the most ',riots character, and indicating that we may be on the eve of gutting events, was net, so supposed, submitted with the semen* ter knowledge of the executive, bet was Mr. Boyee's t prAssentea. l ia lL ea' resasship Daaisl Webster, from San Joan de Nicaragua on the 19th inst., arr ived at New Orleans cm the 26th.
