The exact tenor of the answer returned by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to the overture from Vienna mast be known before this question can be answered. Aconding to the tele graphic despatches from Vienna cod Dresden, " RIIIIIIi& has accepted seconditionally the Austrian proposals; according to the Parisian version, Russia has merely conceded that " the propositions forwarded by Austria might to serve as the preliminaries of peace.* We have resew to believe that the &spends from Paris, though not very clearly worded, approaches more nearly than those from Vienna and Divs. den, to the terms of the message received by the English Government. Russia, we are given to understand, has only accepted the Austrian proposals as the basis of negotiations. In like manner Russia accepted, but year, "the four points" as the basis of negotiatioss. We do not mean to imply that the eases are exactly parallel. If we are to have Conferences in 1868 as we had in 1865, it is to be hoped that the Allies will insist upon their being held in Paris or Loadea iasteed of Vienna; or in Braise* if it is deemed neesssary that they be bold in a neutral state. Bet even if the Allies are weak enough to allow them to be held cues more in Vienna, England will be much more effieiently represented there than she vu last year. It mast also be admitted that the "proposals" of the Court of Vienna are mon precise than " the four points." The proposals do not admit of the same amount of cavil and mystifieatioa on the pat cif Russia as did the four points. It must be bores in mind, however, that there is a Postscript to the Austrian proposals, which may enable Russia to open op a series of interminable diesessioes. "The belligerent Powers reserve their right to produce, in the interest of Europe, some special conditions beside the four guarantees." Since the Aridness proposals were framed the relative positions of the belligerents have undergone some change, through the publica tion of the defensive alliance blames Sweden and the Western Powell., the annoseenseut of the fall of Bars, aad the failure of 0111111 Pic 'a expedi tion in Itiogrelia. If Russia has only agreed is negotiate on the basis of the Aegean pro peals, with • view to induce the Mika to relax in their preparations for a vigorous pro secution of the war—a supposition quite in hammy with the antecedents of Russian diplomacy—she will End in the Postscript ample pretexts for evading any obligations she may have contracted with Austria. Nor mast it be forgotten that the Austrian pro posals are mere in favour of Austria than of Turkey. All that the latter Power gains by them is the guarautes, such as it is, that Russia shall not main tain a formidable feet in the Black Sea, or reestablish the military arsenal of Sebastopol. Is what regards the immediate causes of the war—foreign interference with the Christian sublimate of the Porte. and • foreign Protectorate over the Danubian Princi palities Turkey is left pretty nearly where she was. Ragland, Franey, and Austria— and perhaps Rassia—are to interfere collectively between the Sonar and his Christian sabjeets in stead of Russia alma. By assuming a Protectorate over the Prinapalitise, Rusk inserted the thin end of the wedge to separate than from the Turkish em pire; the arrangement proposed by Austria will rely drive the wedge a little further in. Them auditions may find favour , in the eyes of many, but nobody can my that they tend to ensure the " indepoodenes and integrity" of the Ottoman empire. If they are agreed to, the end of the present war will, like that of most other wars, forgot its beginning. Bet, leaving the Ottoman Goverment out of the question, is the acceptance of these proposal' likely to benefit the Rayabe or the inhabitants of the Dasabian Principalities? We have oar doubts. A Joint Protectorate of the Repko appears to us to mesa nothing more than the pennant establish meet of representatives of the Great Powers at Pera, ametantly interfering with and paralysing the action el the Ottoman Government, aad thereby perpetuat ing mashy throughout its dominions. Until we know what kind of constitution the Principalities are to naive. aid until we see the Austrian army of woe patio. withdrawn from them proviaoss, it will be premature to soogratalate the Made-Walachian. on the alpelatioss made osteasibly in their behalf. All that sae with eirtainty be said at present is, that if Ronda is prepared in good faith to accept ascenditienaly the Austrian proposals, this is a proof that she already feels so severely the manure el the war as to be hopeless of the foam. The acceptance of such terms cannot bet be most mortifying to the pride of the Reads* Go ventessat. At the cart of the war it asserted • right to arbitrate between the Bunt and his Chastise 'objects, and seined upon the Principalities as • "material guarantee' for submission to its arrogant claims. At the sad of the war, If the Pro posals are accepted, it will submit to have the pro tectorate el the Rayabe wrested from it by other Poway, and will ads permanently a part of its territory. This will be all it has pitied by the loss of its Black Sea fiat, the &streaks of the kale's of brag years at Sebastopol, sad the =pencil. tare of mesh blood and treasure. All this is very humiliating; but it is precisely the depth of the humiliation, aad the maturity that the %pm of • kw years will enable Russia to repair Its lessee, whisk Woes us to doubt the possibility of the permanence el a peace mooleded ander such eireamataness.

Among the many proofs that will at once occur of the truth of this ration, there is none more striking than the euesstasse and ppa nimity with which men of pl l Ann of political opinion an now bestirring thronnivie for he establishment of Reformatory Schools. A very admirable and useful paper on this subject hie just appeared in the last number of the Quarterly .ifteriew, and acting on the spirit which, in the pursuit of a great social object, knows nothing dare party animosities, we buten to avail ourselves of the information thus supplied, for the purpose of placing before those of our readers who may not yet have devoted to the question all the attention it de serves, a brief and rapid outline of the pest history and present aspect of this important movement. The principle of attacking crime in its sourer, by sifting at the reformation rather than the punish ment of the younger members of the due of profs* atonal criminate, had occurred to many benevolent minds, in many different countries, in the course of the eighteenth century. In oar own country the Philanthropic Institution was founded by Bose! Youso as far back as 1788; and similar estabilemeate were to be met with beton the doss of the cen tury in Switzerland, in Germany, and is Frans. In 1818, as oar readers may have learnt from some able letter of Sir lone &ROUT WILMOT, which have appeared in oar ewe columns, the magistrates of Warwickshire set on foot an establishment at Stratton on Densmore, very nearly analogous in plan to the schools which are now creating so great an interest in the public mind. The eta road tation, however, in which the improved system of reformatory treatment was fairly and prominently pat late operation on a scale that commanded the general aunties of all criminal reformers, was the Raabe Haas, near Hamburg, founded by Dr. Wacezati in 1833. This institution was the parent and the type of Mettray, the most fauna of all the European reformatories. Scots few years after the first establishment of the Ranh* Ham, M. EILIDEILIC Avenue as NM, then one of the Judges of the Court of Appeal in Paris, visited that institution, found is it the very requirements of whin he bad been long is quest, and on his return to Prance is oonjunotion with his Mead the Vignette DI 0001- MILLIS, established in the year 1839, on the estate of the Vienne, at Mettray, that great Reformatory of whin the name hoe sines become so famous. The two leading priaciplee adopted at the Ream Haas, became the bases of this still more celebrated establish ment, vie.—the division of the inmates, however numerous, Into separate and comparatively small families--end the special training of ring men for the cake of instructors. Mettray in its origin con sisted of five separate houses, containing 40 boys each: the total number of boys ham now risen to 680, bat the principle of sub-division into families is still strictly adhered to. Besides Mettru, there are now in France 36 private, and 17 Government, institution coadeetsd on the SS= plan, and contain ing la the year 1863 a total of 6,443 children. The sonniesg sassess at Menu sae aroused the attendee of those who, with lies prone/en es nits, had king devoted themselves to the saltiest of Jennie reformation is this country. In the year 1846 the Rev. SYDNEY Tosses, then secretary of the Philanthropic Institution, paid a Tait to the model eatablhhamet of H. DI May the result wee a determination to remove the Philanthropic Insti tution from its ad site is St. George's-fields to one is which it might be ponsible to carry into Wed that systole of grinnersl training which constitutes so prominent a feature in the great Preach Relermatory. The estate of Bed Hill wee paranoid : and. in 1649, the present ogrionitural coney was planted, which is is all rupees a close counterpart of Mangy. Red Hill at present =stains 330 inmates, divided iato six familial. The statistics of its reforma tory operation down to the end of the year 1863, were minutely set forth by Mr. Tuattra in address ing that important meeting of the county of Sussex, on the 21st of last December, of which a fell report appeared at the time in our columns. The net result is that the proportion of the thoroughly reformed at Red Hill is 70 per ant ; at *sway it is se high as 89 per east.—• demo of senses which Mr. Tuaten no doubt correctly amass to the peculiar genius of H. DI MITI els the delicate and difficult feud= of reformatory superintendence. The wannest by Red Hill was soon followed is many parts of the country.

The following is the text of the despatch posted yesterday at the Paris Bonne: " VIENNA, JAL 16, 111. 161. Evsmixo. "The French Minister to the Minister for Foreign Affairs : "' Count Reterhary writes to-day from Saint Pe-1 tersburg that M. de Nesselrode hu just notified the acceptance, pure and simple, of the propositions con tained in the ultimatum, which propositions are to serve as the preliminaries for peace.'

The effect of the above despatch spotltheßoar se and the city of Perim will be found described else where in an interesting letter from our Paris cor respondent W. subjoin farther despatches which have come to hand since oar last impression : " BERLIN, TIVUDAT. " Yesterday at 2 o'clock Count Nesselrode and Count Valentine listerhasy signed, at St. Petersburg, a protocol containing the conditions proposed by the Allies, as the formulation of the preliminaries of peace ', DRESDEN, TEI7IIIDAT. " A supplement to the official locrosal cid Dreade dates that the following Lee been remind from an authentic source at Vienna: " 'Russia accepts unoouditionally the propositions of pesos made by Austria.' " _ _ BILUSSILS, " Prunia has used all her influence with the Ca binet of St. Petersburg to induce it to accept peace, and it is believed that Russia is not deaf to the counsel." Our ow➢ Oovernme➢t hare received the following telegraphic despatch from Sir Hamilton Seymour: "The Banta➢ Government accepts the Austrian proposals as a basis for negotiation." Our daily journals wisely caution the public against the permission that the telegraphic' memages from Vienna and Berlin, and that posted by the French Government on the Paris Bourse, necessarily imply that all the propositions upon which the Allies insist have ben unconditionally accepted by Russia. The terms of the fifth proposition are general, and do not necessarily include the undertaking not to for tify the Aland Isles, any more than any other de mand the Allies might think fit to make. "We do not believe" says the Times," that this requisition has yet been specifically submitted to Russia, and, whatever may be the probabilities of the ease, we are certainly not justified In saying that she has unconditionally accepted it. Two other terms on which we mast peremptorily insist—the disarming of the eastern coast of the Black Sea, and the allowing Consuls of the Western Powers to reside in the Russian ports on its waters—havebeen only slightly and ambiguously mentioned. Why this is so we do not know. That is the concern of Austria. We are not principals in the negotiation, but have employed the mediation of a third Power, whose duty it is to see that Russia be brought to an unconditional asseptanoe of oar terms, with all their stipulations, before we even eater into negotiation' The Post believes it will be found that Lord Cla rendon emphatically stated to the Cabinet of Vienna that we must insist upon Russia's binding herself not to rebuild Bocausund. This resolve, justifiable on the grounds of military manses, and requisite as a matter of high import to the well-being of Europe, becomes imperative, when it is remembered that we have only recently concluded an allies°. with Sweden, and that it is our bounden duty not to leave our Ally at the mercy of Rusin, nor to permit the moved= of a huge and menacing fortress within one hundred miles of Stockholm." Under these eir minuteness, then, " it will be the duty of the bill gerents," says the Post, "before negotiations can be entered upon, to signify their intentions to Russia, and to require her acceptance of proposals totally free from the possibility:of 'misinterpretation. These pro- posals, we trust, will have the support of Austria and the German Powers, and will, we are confident, r meet with acceptance at St. Petersburg, if Ramie be ' now really alive to her own interest', and anxious for the welfare of Europe. If they are accepted, then negotiation will follow, but not at Vienna, nor Paris, nor Ueda'. All preliminaries being once satisfactorily adjusted, some more fit place will be appointed for the conduct of Conferences." The place chosen will probably be Brussels. The Herald denounces the " weakness and treach erous purposes" of the Austrian proposals, and the CArcedols speculates as to the effect of the news upon the tactics of Mr. Disraeli and the Parliamentary Opposition. Upon one point, however, the entire daily press is agreed—vim, that nothing should in duce us to relax for a single moment in our prepare tioas foe a spring campaign until all the stipulations have been clearly and unequivocally pat by Austria, end as clearly and unequivocally onceded by Russia. We hear to-day that the authorities of the War Department are not abating their efforts.

The Patrie, of last evening, says: . _ Thank God, prodence end good sense have carried off the victory I The Cabinet of Bt.

Ws find in Le Nord of yesterday the text of a despatch from Count Buol to Count Valentine Ester• hazy, accompanying the propositions which that diplomatist has taken to fit. Petersburg in the name of Austria. In this despatch it is stated that his Imperial Ma jesty the Emperor of Austria, though finding the Allied Powers unalterably resolved not to take the initiative in pacific overtures, nevertheless believes himself justified in expressing the hope that they Powers continue to bold the principles, which guided them at the outset, and have no objects of sg. grandisement in view. The Imperial Cabinet is therefore encouraged to endeavour to procure a settlement, taking the four principles already accepted by Russia as the best starting point. The propositions already known to our readers are then given, and it is added that " the signing of these by the belligerents will be immediately followed by a general armulice and definite negotiation,: Count Bud adds that if the propositions are accopad, Austria will not hesitate to warmly rewarmed their acceptance to the Courts of Paris and London, and that he is persuaded the "amid conditions " will be no serious obstacle. "We will not," says Count Buol, in candid% " enter upon the grave consequences which Ruda will entail upon herself by refusing to enter apes the paths we a second time open to her, for arriving at an honourable reconciliation,—a refusal which would bring upon her the weight of an immense re sponsibility. We prefer relying upon her wisdom to weigh all the chances." Le Nord observes that there is nothing whatever of the nature of an ultimatum in the above, and that Europe has been entirely deceived upon this point; also, that Austria does not guarantee the adherence of the Allies, even to the above propositions.

(TROY OUR OWIt CORRIATONDERT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EYRNING. The announcement in the despatch posted at the Bourse to-day of the exact hour at which the raramis way of the Bourse received the despatch, is a novelty, and I her it said that that functionary knowing that the Rents had been rising rapidly on the Boulevard all the morning, and that large fortunes were being made and lost in the course of an hour, resolved to clear himself from all suspicion of being concerned in keeping back the news from the public for a single moment. The Government must have received the intelligence in the night. It did not, however, ap. pear in the Monifeser. Those who were in the secret mast have realized immense sums of money. The same motive which induced the Commiusly of the Bourse to state the hour at which he received the despatch, led him to throw open the doors before the usual time. The great central door, which le usually cloud, was to-day opened, and long before one o'clock the public, astonished at the absence of the usual demand for their sticks and umbrellas, found themselves able to approach the spot where Government despatches are placarded. During the first few minute s there was no great crowd, the mass of the frequenters of the Bourse being on the Boulevard, and wondering why everything wee going _ - up. At the usual hour for the commencement of business immense excitement was observable. Many ' a speculator for the fall, who coming from a distanos, wee tidally mounting the steps of the building not knowing the new., exclaimed, when he heard that the Rents had risen five francs, "I am ruined!' The crowd in the interior of the Bourse was so great, that numbers of people could not get near their brokers to give orders. Many, wild with excitement, kicked and cuffed everybody about them, to make their way towards the railing of the parquet. Owing partly to this difficulty of communication between broker and client, and partly in a great degree to the extravagant demands made by sellers for every kind of security, the amount of be siness does was very much restricted. The Bente, which had been done on the Boulevards during a paroxysm of excitement at 68fr. 50e., opened at 671 r. for cash end for account. In the course of the day it was quoted for account at 68fr. It afterwards went down to 67fr. 60c., but recovered spin, and closed very firm at 671 r. 90c., with a definitive sties of 4fr. 10c. Credit Mobilier rose 140 fr. The Or leans Railway rose 100 fr.; Lyons, 75fr.; Northstat 47fr. 60c.; Eastern, 46fr. ; Lyons and Meditertaeeo , 961 r.; Southern, 701 r.; Western, 471 r. 50c.; Grand Central, 421 r. 50c.
