A DEPTTATION of members of the committee of the late Exhibition waited on the Lord lieutenant at the Viceregal Lodge on Wednesday, for the pur pose of presenting an address to his excellency on the close of their labours. The chairman of the committee (George Roe, Esq.) read the address, to which his excellency delivered au appropriate con gratulatory reply. A SERIES OF ACTIONS arising out of the late fatal railway accident have been tried before the Dublin court of Queen's Bench. The first determined was that brought by 3lrs. Ml•\ally, whose husband, a solicitor, perished in that catastrophe. La news were laid at 20,00 /., and the company offered 3,0001. After a urotracted trial the jury awarded 3,500/. in compensation to the widow and children. A second case was one in which a 314 Muhuh was THE PRESS. plaintiff, who had received some injury, but not to any very st'r►ous cxtent. The jury as anted Alll. w i t h costs in this case. In the third caz.e, that of Ellen Farrell, the company agreed to lay Miss Farrell an annuity of E.M. a year for lite, and the costs which she had incurred. The claims of the late Mr. Jelly, of Westmeath, which had been considered the most important of the seris, were settled by arrangement, the company paying 4,500/. It is said that all the other CAWS will he arranged without resort to legal proceedings. SECOND EDITION. SATI'ED.IY EI'EXINU. LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW PltoTocoL The special messenger charged with the new col lective note from the representatives of the four powers, and the accompariying protocol, did not leave Vienna for Constantinople until Wednesday evening. In the transmission of these diplomatic despatches the Ambassadors of England, Franee. and Prussia joined with the Austrian Minister ter Foreign Affairs. The powers, it is stated, do not propose any cer tain form or terms of arrangement to Turkey, as they did on a former occasion. llut they express regret at the existence of hostilities, u n dertake to assure the Porte that Russia is inclined to negotiate, confidently trust that Turkey is animated by the same spirit, and Feistiest to be intormea aiw i u w h a t terms the Porte is ready to trent for a peace. The ambassadors then intimate that, in the opinion tit the four Cabinets, it is desirable that an tulnistice be immediately concluded, nut that it would give therm great satisfaction to learn that the Porte is willing to ma n e a plenipotentiary, to meet another to be ap pointed by the Emperor of Itussia, iu Sunk , ucut al city. In a first " leader" of thiz: ilaj's Times we find the following authoritative summary bolt of the collective note and this protocol of the four powers, which bears out the statement in our leading article of their inconclusive tenor:— " The note, if we aro correctly infornied of its tenor, d o es no wore than state the earnest desire of the four powers to stop the effusion if bleod, and okiate the dangers lif a War which already seriously threatens the security of Eurol.e. For this purpose, mill inasmuch its Russia has already given aMillialleca of her readiness to treat, the allied Courts tendon their good offices ; and, as a preliminary step, they requeat to be informed on what tows the Turhish Cowertinient is prepared to open such a negotiation. The mode in which the negotiation might hi opened would lie by the appointment of la Tallish Witt a Russian plenipotentiary to meet in conference, nut alone, but with the representative* of the four great powers; and, in the niciuitinte, the conclusion of an armistice is reconi mended. "The protocol, signed at the same time, and originall proposed by France, is a document expressing in more precise and detailed language the views and mutual en gagements of the four powers theinsell es ; uud, whatever may be tho fate of the fresh oieiture now ►wade to the belligerent States, this dechuati pieces in au authentic form the assurances which Russia herself has heretofore made, and the resolution of the mediating powers to insist on their fulfilment. Neither of these documents contains anything menacing or overbearing either to Ilussia or to Turkey, and, while there is nu misplaced deference to 11111• empire, there is no attempt to d►etate conditions to the other. The resolution which may be taken at Constant nople and at St. Petersburg lies nut absolutely within the control of any cw►l'ercace of foreigt► powers; nor see Turkish or Russian interests the Tammy object of their anxiety. The value of the conferelleC and of its measures is. (lout it has succeeded to an unlooked•fur extent ill ue vi og a common form and united expression to the ab is interests of Europe which tl►is dispute has touth al. It will avert a calamity far grt:ater than that of a Turkish war, if it poo.‘ents a division be• tween the most civilised indium. ol• the eolith, which might otherwise have been drawn into opposite sides in this quarrel, and it has restored to Austria seal Prussia that independence of action which the emergent y re quirzil, but which many of their friends in other countries somost despaired of seeing them assume. in this sense dam" acts of the Conference are • *dowry and important, and they serve to define the basis of a iiegotiation of peace or a scheme of more positive intervention. Should the means of carrying these regulations into effect nut prove at once successful, it seems almost superfluous to remark ►oat the great vowels 4Eln-tope, havolog thus declared their intention*, are morally hound not to stop shoat ()film nit& sures requisite to fulfil them. But un this point no din• tiuct public engagements have het been adopted." The following is the text of the article that appeared in yesterday's Moniteur, on the subject of the note and the Conference from %Well it emanated : " On the 17th of May last we said that if the question r lied at C. n taLt:n ,ple by 31.1 e Prirce Me lisebikoft should lead to complications, these would become a question of general politics, in which the other powers which signed the treaty of July 13, lkil, togolicr w.th France, would Lind themselves engaged, and 11 the same right.
