Tar proceedings of the Conference hitherto, so far as they are known through current rumours confirmed by the statements of foreign journals possessing a semi-official character, have not been of a kind to inspire much confidence as to its deli berations, or excite any very sanguine hope of a satisfactory result. The divergence of views be tween the belligerents was so wide, the claims urged by the more powerful so extreme, and the position taken by the mediating Powers so weak, vacillating, and indefinite, that it was difficult to see where in such an assembly the elements of even a temporary solution could be found. The Germans have from the first assumed the attitude of conquerors, openly repudiating their treaty engagements, and urging demands avowedly founded on the right of conquest. The Danes, as the victims of wrongful violence, have quietly, but firmly, resisted those lawless claims, pleading at the bar of what may in some respects be considered an international tribunal, their undoubted inter national rights. The reply to this appeal made by the neutral Powers, who are, of course, the repro. mutative& and guardians of international justice and equity, appears to have been at times in direct, if not ambiguous. The general course of the deliberations up to the last meeting on Saturday is now pretty well known, and may be recalled in outline. The German Powers have taken pains to assure the world that they hold themselves liberated by the war from all their treaty engagements toward/ Denmark—a pretension justly stigmatised by Lord PALexa &TUN as utterly immoral, and which, if recognised, would destroy the foundation of all public right in Europe. This pretension, it is well known, how ever, was repeated by the German plenipoten tiaries at the Conference, in order to introduce a proposal for carrying into effect the long-projected dismemberment of the Danish monarchy. The proposal, from statements that have been made public, appears to have been that of erecting the Duchies into a separate State, the question of suc cession being left to the Germanic Diet. Such a proposal would naturally be resisted by the Danish plenipotentiaries, on the double ground that the question of succession was already decided by a European treaty still in force, and that even if the Treaty of London were set aside it would be impossible for Denmark to recognise the right of the Diet, or of any foreign Power, to decide the question of succession in relation to a Danish province. The neutral Powers, on being appealed to, recognised the binding character of the London Treaty, and the Conference was adjourned for a longer period than usual, in order, if possible, that some really practical and mediatory scheme might be devised in the interraL The proceedings on Saturday do not appear, in form at lout, to have differed very much from those of the previous meetings. Although the Confe rence was adjourned for the long period of twelve days, mainly, we believe, in order that the German Powers might have full time to reconsider their demands, it was perhaps too much to expect that they would voluntarily abate their pretensions, however extreme. They certainly do not appear to have done so in any respect. It is not impro bable, indeed, that, in harmony with the policy they have pursued throughout the whole of the sittings, the German Powers may have purposely exaggerated their demands beyond all reasonable limits in order to create • margin for nominal concessions in the interest of peace, and thus, at the proper time, give to proposals of compromise really harsh towards Denmark a conciliatory appearance they do not in reality possess. The important fact, however, is, that the neutral Powers have at length formally assumed the position of mediators, and have in that character proposed • scheme of compromise that may ultimately lead to some definite settle ment of this long dispute. There is, indeed, but too much reason to fear that any terms of peace likely to be agreed upon at present, instead of constituting an equitable and therefore permanent adjustment of rival claims, will but sow the seeds of future discord. This point cannot, however, be discussed till the terms of the proposed compromise, variously rumoured for upwards of • week past, can be definitely stated. The supreme interest which this country has in watching the proceed ings of the Conference is to see that it is not con verted into an instrument of oppression towards the weaker belligerent. As England is responsible for the assembling of the Conference, we are bound to insist that our government shall not abandon its treaty obligations to become a party to forcing the acceptance of injurious and disastrous pro posals. If, consistently with our duty and honour, any scheme of settlement can be devised and accepted by the Conference, the result will be equally welcome and surprising. It is something to know that such terms are actually under serious deliberation. Tin Cote rumrcs —The Plenipotentiaries accre dited to the London Conference met on Saturday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-street at 1 o'clock, and sat till half-past three.

The situation in Virginia has not changed materially Mace Saturday. The incessant rains of last week ended by making the roads impassable, so that no renewal of the struggle took place on Saturday as was intended. Lee's new position is not far in the rear of his old one, and be has busied I blomelf during the last few days in fortifying it vigorously, while Grant has been occupied in get ting up reinforcements. Maryland has been almost denuded of regular troops, and so has Washington itself, and Sigel's corps has been largely drawn on, making an addition to Grant's forces of over 50,000 men. The garrison and guard duty is now being mainly done by the new levies from the West, who are arriving every day. The Ohio troops have turned out in great 'force 30,000 strong, and Illinois, in spite of the immense exertions she has already made, is sending forward a force still larger. The militia of New Jersey has also been called out, and that of New York, I think, would be, if it were not that there exists in this city at present an apprehension —whether well-founded or not I cannot say—of a renewal of the riots if an opportunity were afforded by the withdrawal of the troops. For the last two weeks several companies of the city militia have been kept under arms, and the remaining members of the regiments have been warned to hold them selves in read iuess. All this has been done very quietly, and all allusion to it has been avoided by the news papers. Whether theanthorities have been acting on positive information I nave no means of knowing with certainty, but well informed persons assure me that trouble has certainly been brewing amongst the Irish, and that there was good reason to fear another outbreak in case Grant met with a reverse, and the militia had to be withdrawn to aid him. The city is full of secessionist agents, and with such a mass of inflammable material as is afforded by the presence of large masses of igno rant and degraded foreigners it would of course not be very difficult to get up a disturbance. The Irish rare little about the war now—the late arrivals nothing at all ; and though owing to the very good wages they receive they cannot be said to suffer from either high prices or heavy taxation, it is not difficult to make them believe that they do. Moreover, the appetite for plunder got an edge put on it by the impunity which they enjoyed during the first two or three days of the riots last year, which it has never lost since. The stories I have heard of the extent to which many of them were persuaded that they were going to have the goods of the rich divided amongst them reveal • wildness of imagi nation almost incredible. Still the retribution they met with was dreadful. It is well ascer tained that 800 of them were either killed during the bnieute, or died of injuries received in it, and the city missionaries say that the impression made on them by some of the scenes was very deep, and likely to be very lasting—the pursuit of men from room to room by the troops, to be shot, bayonetted, or thrown out of the window, the crashing of the bullets through the windows, the large number of innocent lookers on in the street falling under the fire of the soldiers, or talons of the police. At all events, Ido not think the New York militia will be withdrawn. Governor Sey mour incurred too much obloquy, owing to the events of last summer, for him to run any risk again. And it is admitted on all hands that to strip the city of troops would be to run risk. The regulars have nearly all left Governor's Island and the forts, where about 10,000 of them have been quartered during the winter. Grant's looms during the eight days' fighting have now been ascertained, and they number be tween 20,000 and 25,000 in killed, wounded, and missing ; heavy, no doubt, but, compared with some European battlee—Solferino, for instance— not very large, considering the sirs of the forces en gaged. A great proportion of those wounds received in the battle of Wilderness are slight, se no artillery was used. What Lee's were we can only conjecture, but there is every reason for sup posing them to be greater than those of the Fede ral', or at all events, equal ; and, in either case, large losses are for him irretrievable. His loss in prisoners is particularly heavy-9,000 are now reported by the Federal Commissary of prisoners to be under his charge at Acquis Creek. Lee is, however, still iu a strong position, and shows a good front, and will fight hard. In my last I said it was doubtful whether he would not retreat at once on Richmond, but it is so no longer. His intention evidently is to hold every defensible line on his way south, and sell each of them as dearly as possible. His present one, as well as two others, that of the South and North Anna, are said to be strongly fortified since last year. He most probably hopes to wear the Federal. out by falling back very slowly. GOLD TROY AUSTRALIAN COLONILS AND NOP/ ZEALAND.—Thu meaning a return was issued of the quan tity acid value of gold Imported yearly from the Australian Colonies, including New Zealand, during the years 1858 to to 1862, both inclusive ; distinguishing each year what was exported from New Zealand, ,18 Victoria or any other of the Austrelias ooloniee or ports ; and, of the quantity and Talus of gold exported from New Zealand to Great Britain during said years ;distinguishing what w imported by the province of Otago and each of the other provinces in New Zealand, either direct to Great Britain, or other colony or port in Australia.

Per the hot weather, of which we have already bad Sviamiaele, some splendid rotondes and bursas. of Yak Lee ham bean prepared, so exquiait• in texture and design, that they may venture to appear beside those of Chantilly or English leer. ID the oonntry, or at the watering-Oboes, the collet will be very mach worn. Many ham been made of a triad of pine ioft woollen material—Maxim bins, purple, or whit*, trimroad with braid and fringe. Narrow stripes downwards sod cheeks are perhaps the two &vomit* designs for taffetas sad sammer moue. The most linkable materials far negligee dress are mohair, alpaca, and, above all, linos, which has the brightnem of grenadine. Plain high bodies, with a waist i ?Empire—that is to say, very abort, with a large buckle—ara, at any rate, as mach in voids se the Basque-habit, which, on the contrary, lengthens the waist. Frequently on tight bodies the trim. miog is put on like a Series body, sad is finished off by lung ends behind. The sleeves are still i condo and narrow ; the trimmings match those oe the body, put on round the bottom and up the seam, sometimes to the top, sometimes only to the elbow ; and the jockey is also msue of similar trimming. The skirts are as wide as ever, but only at the bottom. To obtain this result, the breadth, are cut oa the bias on one side only. A skirt should be at the very least rather more than five yards round the bottom and two yards and three-quarters at the top. The front breadth is cut slightly oa the bias of each side ; care must be taken to join the bias to the straight of the other breadths, excepting that in the middle of the back, which must have the two bias together. The breadths should be cut rounded at the bottom, as every dress that is not quite for morning wear is made with a train at least 19 or 20 inches long. Very wide sashes are still worn; some are quite plain, others of a checked m►terial, or Pompadour, with garlands of flowers. They are always tied behind, and trimmed with laok iesertioo, Many osintures might almost be called low bodies, put oa over the body of the dress, being frequently finished off by braces end a basquice made of taffetas trimmed with lam, and worn over Chambiry barege, muslin, or silk with • white ground. The Swiss body, particularly becoming for young lading, has • point in front and is cut square on the chest ; it is trimmed with ruches, and a plaited chemisette should be worn with it. There is always something 'novel to be found is pees& menterie. Instead of being in the bug's° postilion style, it is now =de with sods behind like the basquishabit, or h►bit Directoire, the new fashion, which appears to be much followed, and which is not at all unlike ► gentleman's drew ooat ; yet the Parisian chroeiciers of fashion tell us that in the hand. of • skilful artiste even this may be made to look graceful '• . . . Bram for corselets, with • straight but very wide ceinture and an aurnanire hanging on outside, form • very elegant trimming when made entirely of peseementorte. The subject of boonets being made without curtains bee been discussed already ; bat until now they have only been talked about. We are now able to speak definitely con riersiiog them, u many have made their appearance, and are likely to become general. The fronts are small, indeed. The very fasbioaiibU bonnet is little more then • dress cap. Dress boonets are made of drawn tulle. The mown is made of buillossoies, and the narrow frill, in place of the curtain, falls low on the neck. The outside is very little trimmed, only • small bouquet of flowers being placed upon the front. The inside trimmed also with small flowers on the forehead ; no ornaments down the cheeks, end the long earrings fall on the bow. A small fall, trimmed with • jet fringe. This is the greatest novelty. However, it must aot be supposed curtains on the bonnets are ite out of fashioo ; they are and will be were ; but the news tyle has been accepted without much or *trio= disapproval. With both forms the trimmings are placed low on the crown. Round hate are now &oddly adopted ; the fashion for them being so settled this year, that not only young ladies, but those of more mature years, wear them when travel hog, their ooevenienoe being undisputed. The caunette jockey is much spoken of, but as yet but few are worn. The toque appear' likely to be a favourite again this sea. sou. The prettiest are of Legboru, with a ♦erg broad edge of velvet,. Upoo one side is a long feather, which is 53 be• caning. The small voile loop of spotted net or tulle, with a moss fringe, or fringe of beads, is worn with this hat. DRAM OF COLONZL TORRRNIL—We bave to re cord the death of Colonel Torres', which occurred on Sa turday lest.

(THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. saga's in Banco. —(Belon Justices Blackburn, Mellor, lead Use.) PILIEHTLY P. HOPWOOD. - • This was a cue arising out of the winding-up of the Royal Oak Benefit Bathos Society, at Manchester. The soci e ty was ateblished ia 1853, ostler thee and 7 Wm. IV., c 32, and in 18f1 the plainti ff became the holder of seven Mt. shares. He afterwards received as advance of the amount at ter pules the bonus, and ha gave to them a mut. pie of the property as security in which he covenanted to continue the payment of the subscriptions which might become due. He accordingly paid the monthly subscriptions up to July, 1856, when be disposed of the property to the defendant, who also covenanted io the sisignment to pay all subscriptioee that might theoosforth become doe, and hold him harmless, but the shares were not, as they ought to have been transferred to the deice. dant, but remained in the Plaintiff's name. The de feudsat paid the subscriptions down to August. 1837, but on the 15th December, 1856, soma of the members wished to wind up the society in consequence of the loam, sad a special meeting was called for the purpose of investi gating its affairs. A committee was appointed to consider and report how the 'acuity could be beet wound-up. In April, 1857, that committee reported that all penults who had lest now to the society should be repaid se early me possible, and in order to do so all the shareholders should pay tiol. 10e. per share, the amount of bowie unpaid, and the further sum of 3/. per share to be placed in the hoods of the trustees till the final distribution of the funds, to meet any further loss that might appear io the winding.up of the concern • any surplus to be equally divided among those who had oistributed to the same, and that all members teams the society should sign an agreement, indemnifying the trustees from loss by the division of the funds. Oo the 17th of March, 1857, the shareholders agreed to a resolution confirming that report. The defendant, in pursuance of that resolu tion, redeemed his property, and he paid nothing further to the society. la 1859 the trustees disposed of their property by auction, when they sustained a loss of 1.0C.W. The so ciety not having beim dissolved held a meeting, and re solved that all the persons who had realised on the terms of the previous resolution should pay a farther sum of 12f. per share by 10s. monthly instalments. That resolution was agreed to as the 10th of April, 1860, and on the, 17th of December, 1851, a further resolution was agreed to, collies upon the shareholders to pay a farther sum of 10s. per share. The plaintiff refused to pay the calls, having transferred his property to the defendant. The society then took proceedings against the plaintiff, and the stipendiary magistrate ordered him to pay the amount claimed coder the award. A rule had bees obtained to re scind the order. Yr. Temple, Q.C., and Mr. Quails appeared for the plaintiff in support of the rale; Mr. Hooker, for die de fendant. iiecourt made As rote absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. flittisp is Basoci.—(Bstare Lord Mg Justice Eris, sad J semis Williams, Willis, and Bylas.) NOTHARD V. PIPPIri -COLLISION AT This wss.SacTt action remover damages for injuries sus tained by the plaintiff's vessel in a nonillion which happened off the eastern meet. After the accident the Receiver. of Wrecks instituted an inquiry under the Merchant Ship ping Act, and the plaintiffs captain was examieed by bin , . Or the trial of this aumethis gentleman was also examined; and the defendant's counsel sought to contradict him by put- Moir in evidence a statement which he had made before the Receiver of Wrecks. Mr. Justice Ryles, however, who pre sided at the trial, refused to adroit this evidence, sod the question now was whether there should be a new trial upon the ground that the evidence bad bees Improperly rejected, and also that the verdict was against the evidence. The court in giving judgment said that they were of opinion that the evidence had been properly objected to be cause it was offered to show who wee in fault in the acci dent, end this was • wetter into which t h e Receiver of Wrecks had no authority to inquire. There would, there fore, be no new trial upon that ground; but inasmuch as the court thought that the verdict was against the weight of evidence, them would be • rule absolute for • new trial upon this ground. Rale absolute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Coeneriseiceer (Welborn.) reas B. 3. WILLIAMS. Mr. Roxburgh applied to the court is this ease to direct the advertisement of adjudication to issue. The debtor re. sided abroad ; he had been adjudicated bankrupt by this court; on appeal to the Lord Chancellor the adjudication was confirmed, but it was intimated that there would be an appeal to the House of Lords. Mr. Sargood considered that the matter was still sub jade*, sad that the reasons which originally existed for staying the advertisement were still in forte. His Honour was of opinion that it would be premature to remind the order for staying the procesdiogs. It was entirely a matter for the determination of the Lord Chas oglor who would have power to say an what conditions no promedings should be further stayed. The bankrupt was auctioaser and estateagent, of Great Portlandstreet. A petition bad been presented by the as signees. praying that the leases of certain lands at Oandial too, on which an equitable mortgage was claimed by the essigosies of Brandre and Noah, might be sold by the me semen of Abrahams, and the proceeds applied to the Wilkie of Abrahams. in 'Ting judgment, mid the first question was as to the ju nof the oonrt. Be thought it was a matter for the Courts of Chaocery, as the assiguess of Brandon and Noah did not come in and submit to the juris dictiori of the court. The petition must, therefore, be dismissed. It was clear that the assignees of Abrahams had an equity, but it waa not cue which this court could administer. lt. & ter OAS &al 0.10 COI -AB PARIS, 8171FDLT The concluding sitting of the Legislative Corps was marked by an unusual number of complaints from deputies that they had been misreported in the Moniker. The inaccuracies which seemed important to the aggrieved members will not, how ever, be thought of much consequence by the public. Indeed they were, for the most part, of an exoes sively trivial character. The Duke de Morny, in vindicating the painstaking and invariable good faith of the official reporters, spoke of the great difficulty, not to say the impossibility, of steno graphiug such long debates as they had had lately without some errors. Moreover, many mistakes were attributable to misprints ; which were not wonderful, seeing that the compositors of the Moniker had been so tired all the week that many of them " worked while sleeping," or, what was the same thing, "slept while working." M. Rouher condoled with the reporters on the severity of their task, and said that he would nut be charged with such labour for all the world. M. Belmontel took the opportunity of returning to the charge with his famous little bill against England, contending that the Chamber had shown itself decidedly sympa thetic to the claim, whereas the Moniker had made it appear that only a few deputies applauded him. M. Glais•Bizoin said that what M. Belmontel really meant was that he should be placed in command of the iron-clad vessel Napolclon, and sent to England in search of the Golden Fleece ; and, amidst the laughter caused by this observation, the titillating subject dropped. M. Emile 011ivier's name appears among those of the eleven members who finally voted against the budget. He bas not, therefore, as Jet uncondi tionally rallied to the government, although his alleged tergiversation of late has got I him into great disgrace with his old friends. M. Thiers voted for the budget, meaning, doubtless, thereby to show, notwithstand ing his many severe criticisms, that he is sincere in his deprecation of factious opposition. MM. Bet ryer, Ravin, and Guiroult purposely abstained from voting. The &eels, representing M. Havin's mild oppo sition, takes pleasure in admitting that during the whole course of this prolonged session the Duke de Morey has almost always " acted with that mo deration which he so earnestly recommended to others in his opening speech. The anti-catholic journals oomplain that the go vernment does not sufficiently enforce the provi sions of the concordat with regard to the Corpus Christi. In the centre of Paris the priests are still prevented from walking processionally in the streets, as they have been for very many years ; but in parts of the old banlieue lately annexed to Paris, such as the Teones and Pussy, whole streets are hung witt, white draperies, altars are erected on the line of procession, and the priests, deacons, beadles, and little altar boys make an immense display of vestments, velvet canopiee, and incense burners. The ()pinion National., more concerned probably about the feelings of the English and Russian inhabitants of the Quartier de l'Ecole than these latter are themselves, thinks it • monstrous thing that illegal popish processions should parade under the windows of protestants, and even invade the precincts of the golden-domed Greek church lately built for Russian worshippers. Reason would say that one religion has just as much right to the use of the streets as another, but then the catholic religion cannot reasonably claim any peculiar privileges, and we know that it does wherever it can. The influence which enables the priests to brave a long-standing law of public order, and revive their processions, would, if priests had their will, force protestants to bow down and wor ship popish images. The prohibition of these pro cessions long ago, consented to by the whole nation, was a measure of public peace, not in any way restraining catholica in any essential part of their worship, but preventing them from assuming a superiority, and aggressively provoking sensitive people of other creeds. In this point of view the rule that has long prevailed in France is perfectly sensible and just. In little country villages where all the population is catholic, the procession amuses the children and does no harm to anybody. But' in Paris and other large cities, where divers faiths prevail, the object of the catholic* in trenching upon the rules long established with regard to the Corpus Christi is to assert ascendancy, and on this account, the members of other religions naturally feel aggrieved.

(Before the Ameistant-Jadge.) nosuiniox OF VELNDOWS OF lIIDICCITDOOKBAND FAINTS. .Tata Pearson, of No. 2, 1C1%60t-street, Weatmineter, and Jess Paul. of OwnLeourt, BS. Marna's-lane, w indicted for uttering sad vending certain indecent prints and books. Mr. Sleigh nauseated on behalf of the Society for the Suppression at Vice; Mr. Rita'' defended the prisoners, instructed by Mr. Abram, of Bow street Both the prisoners pleaded guilty to the indictments. Mr. Ribton said he wished to address • few word, to hie lordship, as this was • very ppiuliar COW as far as Pearson was concerned, and be did sincerely hope that when hie lordship was made sogiudeted with all the cinurastances. he would consider the ends of justice would be &severed if Pearson was allowed to p eat tee his owe find substantial bail to come up for judgment upon. He had spoken to Mr. Sleigh, who repressated the Society for the Suppression of Vice, sad he wee contest leave the matter in the hoods of the court. He shield eat • number of tritium* to show that Peanut bed horse a good chereeter, bad been for many years is the service of Mr. Carter, • builder of &Adman, sad am regarded the charge against them, it came out in this way :—A catalogue published by him was seat to the °Pantry, and this was sub mitted to the society. The prisoner Pearson lived et No. 2. Millbankatreet, West/Mester. and a prson went there to such articles were referred to in the catalogs, ; purch ase :Shed as to state that these very book and prints were purchased is an ordinary sale in the rooms of atietiocame ei undoubted respectability, and those catalogue* he held in his hand, and where his lordship would hod a desaiptiole of the hooks sod prints then before the court. He referred amongt othetu to lot 321 in one of those catalogues. This was Peation's first edema, and as he had bought these things at public auctioo, together with there being no public exhibi tioa to shock public decency, he trusted the prisoner would be dealt with mercifully by the court. The Amistant-d edge, having examined the catalogues, asked if the attention of the society had been directed to them, am they were catalogues issued by some of the most respectable book auctioneers in the metropolis. Mr. Sleigh said the society were not aware, and they did not believe until they saw them that them persona would sell such objectiosable books. Mr. Ribton said when the defendant was waited upon by the officers of the society he showed them the catalogues mid told them where the books were purchaud. The Assistant Judge would like to know the person in the country to whom the catalogue wee sent and the politics et life be wee ie. - Mr. Sleigh acid mew me. information came anonymously to the society and there wen obvious reasons for this. The Assistant-Judp—Han these catalogues been sent to echools or astablishmeots ? Mr. Sleigh—No doubt they are entebeively circulated. bat it r only ocouionelly that we hear of them. Several witaesses wens called who gave Pearson a good character. In the ease of Paul it was said that be went to another pence, a hang applied to, and procured these objestioa able things for him.
