A number of the propositions of Prussia appear to have been declined, and a conference on the subject is to take place to-day. France already, on the application of Prussia, has expressed her willingness to extend the period of transition, dur ing which the tariffs should be maini;ained at a certain high rate, and the real reduction should not commence until the expiration of that time. Among the last counter-propositions of Prussia is one demanding the extension of that period until the Ist January, 1865; that is to say, until the expiration of the treaty of the Zollverein." LAW Ii 2 'ELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANPERY. (Before `'ice - Chancellor Kindersley.) SHORT CAUSES-MOTION FOR DECREE-TAILON V. WAGON. His Honour allowed the transfer of shares under the power of attorney to the plaintiff, and directed the costs to be taxed and paid. ON MINUTES -COLTER V. COLTER. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel, his Honour directed that in the disposal of the trustee's ac counts, due regard should be paid to the mortgagee's inte rest, and that it would be carefully cared for in the decree. ADJOURNED SUMMONS.-BRANDON V. BRANDON.- PART HEARD. Mr. Cracknell resumed his arguments for Mr. Glover, defendant. This suit was instituted to make the trustees liable for their own wilful neglect and default in the ma nagement of the trust estate, in letting chemical premises in Bermondsey, and for an account of the rents and profits. In 1847 Mr. Pugh let the premises to Mr. Woodward for £B4, and for which, Mr. Glover contends, he is not liable, besides loss on other letting,. Mr. Glasse, Q.C., is now being heard in reply for the plaintiff. COURT OF PROBATE. SHEDDEN V. PATRICK. At the sitting of the court this morning the Judge Ordi nary granted the application of the petitioners to revive the suit, iu order to enable them to proceed in the House of Lords. THWAITES V. THWAITES. Dr. Twiss proposed to call the younger child, aged seven years. The Judge Ordinary said he sat there to hear and judge of the evidence learned counsel might lay before him. The child proposed to be called by the learned doctor would have to speak of matters which occurred before he was six years old. William Cussen Thwaites was then placed in the box and examined as to his knowledge of the nature of an oath, but the court was of opinion that the evidence of the child could not be received. The deposition of a person named Damiani, which was taken by order of the court, was then - put in and read. The effect of it was that Mr. Thwaites had greatly ilitreated his wife, struck her, and called her a minx and vixen. This closed the evidence for the petitioner. Mr. Karslake opened the case for the respondent, and said he thought after the Court had heard the evidence be was about to adduce the petition would be dismissed. If his instructions wers correct, it would be found how Mr. Thwaites had ill-treated his wife ; he had been induced to do so under the most aggravating circumstances. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(ni s Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOP ROADNRY AND VIOLENCE.—Thomas Stringer, a rough-looking fellow, was charged with stealing a large piece of plaid from the shop of John Garmeson, linendraper, Tottenham-court-road, and violently assaulting two of his assistants. Thomas Tuck, one of the assistants, said that on the pre vious evening, about 5 o'clock, he had just left the lobby of the shop when the prisoner seized up the piece of plaid and ran off. Ho pursued the prisoner and seized hold of him, and asked him to come back. Tho prisoner asked him what for, and he said if he came back he would see. The pri soner, who had dropped the plaid in his flight, refused to do so, and kicked him severely, and bit him, and resisted violently. Wm. Chagwin, another assistant, said he went to the the last witness's assistance, and was kicked by the pri• Boner, who also bit him. 6l S said the prisoner behaved very violently. In answer to Mr. Yardley, the gaoler, Barnes, said he did not know the prisoner. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Yardley commit itted him for 6 months with hard labour. THAMES . I AM ONLY A LODGER. —D A RING BURGLARY.— Nicholas Lammar, a tall and active Peruvian seaman, whc has been for some time in this country, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with burglary and robbery. At the early hour of 4 o'clock this morning, William Lidgate, an elderly man, a cooper occupying a front par lour in the house, No. 19, North-street, Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, was aroused from his sleep by a noise in hi■ room, and, raising himself in bed, saw a man in his room, and his parlour window open. lie called out "Who's there—police I police I" on which the prisoner, who was the intruder, exclaimed, " D—n it," and leaped out of the win dow into the street. Lidgate called out "Stop thief," and a police-constable, No. 30 H, who was in the street, pursued the prisoner some distance. At last the Peruvian turned down a narrow court, in which there was no tho roughfare ; and when he found out his mistake he threw away a large bundle he was carrying, and laid flat on the ground. Brewer was soon upon him, and after a desperate "up and down fight" succeeded in capturing the thief. The bundle contained a bible, prayer-book, three pairs of trousers, a moire antique cape, a chemise, a table-cloth, and other articles, which the prisoner had stolen from a chest of mahogany drawers in Lidgat 's room. The drawers were locked yesterday, and the prisoner had forced them open and taken out the property, which he made into a bundle. The whole of the property belonged to Mrs. Ann Eldridge, occupying a room in the upper part of the house, but whose drawers were in Lidgate's apartment. Mr. Selfe asked in what manner the prisoner could have entered the house. Lidgate—He opened the parlour window and stepped into my room. Mr. Selfe—Are there no fastenings or shutters P Lidgate—None, sir. Mr. Selfe—You ought to have shutters, bolts, and fastenings. Lidgate—l am only a lodger. (A laugh.) Mr, Selfe—Y our observation reminds me of the old story of a man disturbed at his studies by his landlady, who in formed him the house was on fire. His rejoinder was, " Don't disturb me, lam only a lodger. (Loud laughter.) The prisoner is a desperate thief, be is well-known here. Roche, the gaoler of the Court—He has been in my custody twice before. Mr. Selfe—This is a burglary and robbery. The pri soner is committed for trial. TIIIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Feb.

A creditor opposed, and the matter was adjourned in order to allow the opposing party time to show that the in solvent did not owe £3OO. This case was resumed by the examination of the nurse, Mrs. Thompson, who said she always considered Mrs. Thwaites kind and attached to her husband and family. George Henry Thwaites, the eldest son of Mr. Thwaites, said he recollected his father throwing dirty water over his mamma while the two servants were in the room. He also called his mamma bad names. His mamma said nothing, but fell back against the wall. He went away with his mamma, but his father fetched him back, and he had lived with him ever since, except when he was at school. His father was standing before the fire and he walked over to where his mamma was standing and pushed her out of the door. SHERIFFS FOR 1862. (From the London Gazette of last Evening.)

In the first round, the Ace leading past the winning post, followed closely by The Rug, Hapha zard and Pine Apple being fifth and sixth respectively. Haphazard, in taking the first fence in the second round, breasted it and threw his rider ; Pine Apple following, made a tremendous leap, throwing Kendall high in the air, who fell on his side after making a complete somersault and injured his right leg, and was too lame to continue the race. In the meantime, Haphazard was again mounted, and, although several fields behind, was soon well up; but the contest was now to be decided by the Ace and The Rug, Gaslight having retired. Great was the excitement when the horses were approaching the last fence. The Ace was over first, immediately followed by The Rug, who got a slight lead of the Ace, but in the final struggle the Ace made up with him, and the judge, unable to separate them, pronounced a dead heat, and it was decided that after the second race was over the Ace and The Rug should run again. Second Heat—The deciding heat was run as usual after the last event of the day ; but Mr. James, who rode the Ace in the first go, was unable to ride in the second heat in consequence of having hurt himself while riding Con federate, in the Ladies' Plate, and George Stevens was substituted. They startod a little before five, the Ace leading, but when half-way round the first time, the Ace fell at a fence, the saddle turned right round, and took a little time to be righted, The Rug tearing away at a slash ing pace, but Stevens was soon in his wake, and The Rug repeatedly refused the hedges, but passed the flag alone in the first round, and when he came to the first fence he re fused it twice, and now by this time the Ace was with him and they both took it together, and kept together the re mainder of the race without any mishaps, and to the astonishmentof all arrived again at the winning post, neck a nd neck, and ano th er "d ea d h ea t" was declared.* It being now quite dusk, and altogether diingelou° to 98i 1164 132 13(i 10 11 24} 24f 101 103 101 103 Mr. H.

This formula having been deferred in the case of the Carmarthenshire Open Steeplechase until the day after the two dead heats occurred, the race in question, and all bets thereupon, are null and void.

DR GUTHRIE ON TOBJCCO AND STRIKF S. (From the ,` eotsman.) Thursday, being "Biggar Fair Day," the movement commenced last year for removing the abuses generally connected with such gatherings, by providing counter attractions to the public-houses in the shape of temperance refreshments and public meetings, was renewed, under the patronage of the clergymen and leading county gen tlemen, and was attended with even still greater success than last year. Arrangements had been made by the prDmoters of the movement to provide, at a cheap rate, liberal supplies of tea, coffee, and other tem perance refreshments.—The Rev. Dr. Guthrie, of Edin burgh, addressed the assembly, and in the course of his remarks, the rev. gentleman dwelt upon the advantages offered to the working classes by the Post-office Savings' Banks. lie said :—You have no idea how money grows ; You think corn and trees grow ; but the fact is, that money grows better than corn or trees ; and if you just save a pound a year " How can I do that ?" you say. Oh, you can save it out of tobacco reek. (Laughter and cheers.) I asked a farmer how much the great mass of the people connected with farms spent on tobacco. He counted up; and I found that a great many of the work ing people spent large sums on tobacco. Not that I have very much fault to find with tobacco, as some of our teetotal friends seem to have, who denounce snuff- and tobacco as much as whisky. My answer to that is, "Do you ever hear of a man cutting his v,ife's throat because he snuffs ?" (Much laughter.) Never in this world. But what I want is this. Working men should have every possible enjoyment; but I don't want a working man to indulge in enjoyments to such an extent that when he is an old man he will not have two farthings to rap on each other. (Applause.) I want the workingman to say, " I stand on my own feet ; and give me this arm, and this head, and this heart, and I will thank no man or mother's son to support me and my family as long as I can do it by noble self-denial and providence, and care, and temperance." (Loud cheers.) I snuff—l confess it. (Laughter. I si.uff, and it is a nasty practice, a most abominable practice, and I advise you never to learn it. (Laughter.) I acknowledge that, but I say if you could get tobacco cheap, that working men might use it in mode ration. But it is not cheap. I think it is most iniquitous for the Government to put a tax of 200 per cent. upon an article within reach of the working man. Why should they lay taxes to that extent on the luxury of the working man, while they lay only a tax of 5 or 10 per cent. on the luxury of wealthy men ? I think that is disgraceful. But what I object to is, a working man wasting so much of his means on smoking; I object to his smoking away the bread and the education of his children, because the Go vernment puts that tax on. I would starve out the Go vernment, instead of smoking for its sole benefit.— (Cheers.) Time enough for a working man to begin to smoke when he is sixty. Tobacco reek 1 Do you resolve " I will have nothing to do with it till I have made a pro vision for old age, and till I have got my family educated ; I will give th€m a good education ; and after I have seen my boys standing on their own feet, and my girls well mar ried, then perhaps I may take a pipe, but not till then." (Laughter and cheers.) I don't smoke; and I must say it is a most offensive thing to see boys in Edinburgh, no bigger than my ragged school boys here, going about with pipes in their mouths, and their mothers perhaps starving. "Oh, the shame of a man that can drink, or smoke, or indulge in these things, and have his mother on the "Board I" God forbid that that should ever become the character of our country I I asked two farmers, who knew ploughmen well, as to the use of tobacco among farm -servants; and they told me that upon the average tobacco cost them 30s. a-year. Now, if a man does not smoke between the ago of 18 and 58, what does the SOs. a year amount to in forty years? £l5O, at an accumulation of interest. (Applause.) I know there are plenty of men in Edinburgh, hundreds of them, who spend not 305., but twice and three times 30s. a year in indulgences which I do not indulge in, and which th ey are no better but much the worse of. And then when abn* ol d age comes, what comes to them ? They sink, bank,rn asjelc poverty. If they would lay by in the savi n g wish you to do, when old age came , about with their hands in their pocketsthaneydswdoisucludsawtahlke weather and enjoy themselves. (Laughter and cheers.) People talk about being ill-used by their masters, and about having strikes, Th e best way that servants can rnana if Im a manage these a matters s ervant, and m is through maghtshteer don't sav giveingsba menk ; be cause,good pay for my service, an d says to me, " I will b r i ng you to ter ms ; I will give you 12s. a week instead of 15s. ;" I say to him, "My friend, you may ,, s l hu h t a u v p--u g e £(slaoinhttehr)e—bafonrky;e: will never bring me to te rms."

They produce an enor mous a mount of evil ; but it may happen, and it has hap. pened, that the only way working men could get justice was by refusing to work for the low wages offered them. THE VAGARIES OF FASHION.—There is great talk of an electric parure now in course of manufacture for the Empress of the French, whose brilliancy will outvie every article of jewellery ever beheld before. It is a coronet com posed of glass globules, illuminated by an electric light ruled by a conductor encircling the head,—Court Journal. attempt to run the deciding heat, the owners agreed to divide; and on Thursday The Rug walked over.

The race was between Confederate and Little Monkey, who kept close together in the second round, Confederate leading; Lord Adair third. In the last round, when a few fences from home, Confederate fell, and threw his rider, Mr. James, who re ceived rather severe injury, by Little Monkey falling upon him, and was, of course, out of the race.

(From the Revue des Deux Mondes.) Our first reception at the White House Was by Mr. Set yard, Secretary of State, who, dressed in a yellow d rill paletot and a broad-brimmed straw hat, resemblt .d, but only on the first impression, some small fie. 11-to-do landed proprietor. Mr. Seward is a man of high intellect, the personification of the Republic an party in Congress. His views have always made him the determined opponent of the Slave ma jority i❑ Congress. Thus in the South he is burnt in effigy, which does him honour. You are aware that he had a great chance of the Presi dency when Mr. Lincoln was elected in a very un expected manner. However, the Government has not suffered much by it, as this distinguished man maintains a great preponderance there, and the Slave faction style the Government the Seward party. If you wish to form an idea of Mr. Seward's appearance, fancy the head of Hector Berlioz, with a delicate Roman profile, combined with an indi cation of great energy. After waiting a few minutes, a small door opens and admits a very tall man, six feet high, thin, dressed in a complete suit of black, and holding in his large, hairy hands a pair of white gloves, which he has never put on, and which never can be put on ; a long nose, wide mouth, small agreeable eyes, hollow cheeks, his beard cut in the American fashion —a fashion which would make Jupiter himself look vulgar—a toupet of long hair raised up on his fore head and falling back like a weeping-willow, a kinei expression of countenance not devoid of shrewdnessi —such is "honest Abraham" (the nick-name given, to President Lincoln). You know his history. The grandson of one of the first pioneers in Illinois, who was killed by th.e Indians, the son of a pioneer, and a pioneer himself, he received six months' elementary instruction 'at school, was a cowkeeper, a rail-splitter, a bargemtan for conveying timber on the Mississippi, work/mi re on a railway, and, finally, a day labourer in a fam e at Springfield, where he instructed himself suffi.. ciently to enter as clerk into a warehouse. He the3a joined the mid' ia, where he was elected captain, and two years afterwards ws.s returned a member, for Congress. He was there in 1846. In 1849 tae voluntarily resigned his seat to live with his fami'ty; but the popular suffrage took him from his pbagh in 1859 to oppose Mr. Douglas, who represetated the feelings of the South. He made successful harangues all through Illinois, and defeated his adversary. Mr. Seward, with a spirit of concilia tion and modesty, of which examples are not rare in the policy of the Union, gave his own votes in favour of the man of the West—the honest, wise, obscure Abraham. He hoped by sacrificing his personality to obviate the rupture between South and North ; but that had been decreed. You also know that Mr. Lincoln's nomination was hailed with enthusiasm by the working classes, who saw in his rustic origin, in his probity, as well as in his moderation, a guarantee for labour and the labouring classes. If I give you all Mr. Lincoln's claims to public respect, you will allow me a smile at his whimsical appearance, and at that pair of kid gloves which seem astonished at finding them selves in the hands of a rail-splitter. He advanced in a shy, awkward manner, shook hands with the Prince, then with each of us, and attempted to enter into a friendly conversation. " How many days did s ou take from Europe ? Ia it to the son of Lucien Bonaparte that I have the honour of speaking? What do you think of Ame rica ? It is very hot!" Evidently the worthy man was most kindly dis posed, but the representative freedom had none whatever in his speech or manners. He had no diffi culty in expressing himself (he gained his position by his speeches), and the Prince speaks English perfectly. I should have preferred seeing a jolly, blunt, blustering farmer, proud of his position as a parvenu. He was so awkward that I felt quite disappointed. I should have liked to conjure up my jolly farmer. We separated with more shaking of hands; we followed the Prince to the ( apitol. Mr. Seward., who accompanied the Prince, introduced to him the high functionaries of the political machine, the wheels of which continued to creak in the person of a very noisy orator. This individual, in a yellow cotton paletot, his hat firmly fixed on his head— which does not offend me, but which can never be picturesque until we change our style cf head dress —hurls out a speech, listened to with the greatest sang froid, or rather not listened to at all. This "Pere Duchesne" seems in a mighty state of exas peration, but does not disturb in the slightest de gree the occupations of the senators. One is absorbed reading his newspaper, another is whit- tling a small piece of wood, another is asleep with his legs up in the air. The President is yawning. Every member speaks from his seat—there is no tribune. This evening, dinner at the President's. I meet with various surprises. First, an agreeable surprise. I find myself seated next to Senator Sumner, our former travelling companion in Switzerland, and brother of your friend ; he is a most agreeable, in telligent man. Opposite to me sits Gen. 11I•Clellan, a man of an energetic and intelligent cast of coun tenance, of simple, modest manners, 35 years of age. He is a distinguished pupil of the military school at West Point. During the Crimean war he went there on a tour of military instruction. " But why," whispers one man into my ear, " does he take a different view of affairs from every ono present ?" and another whispers inR) my other ear, " That is our future First Consul. Is everything to be changed ?" I express some doubts on the subject. The rejoinder is, " He has a fine game, if he knows how to play it." I shall not give you a word picked; up by chance as a very serious symptom, but I follow up the idea expressed in my 1a s t — b l e o become seriouse t Americaiai inevitable remevaoid h tdya a i bfi s fleee t al to maintain and reconquer her unity by war, good-bye to her actual system of liberty. Is t i i n ee big e h f h p e o r lit i i n ca st l it q u u t a io r n te s rs w t i h l a l t a But the nation is there, which will probably make peace at all price. Another personage at this meeting was Lieute nant. General Scott, a tall, hale veteran of 76 years of age, who won laurels at Vera Cruz and in Mexico in 1847. I was asked if I did not think he bore a strong resemblance to Napoleon I. With the best goodwill in the world, I cannot discover anything in Lis appearance except the strongly-marked Eng lish type of countenance. THE HoN.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A SPORTSMAN.—We re gret to say that a serious accident occurred to Mr. Smith, while joining th e c h ase on Wednesday. The meet was a t Ulley, near Aston, and in crossing a fence, Mr. Smith's horse turned a somersault, pitching its rider to a consider able distance. Mr. Smith fell heavily on his left shoulder, and unfortunately broke his collar bone. Every assistance was immediately rendered, and Mr. Smith, in the course of the evening, was removed to his home at Norton Lees, where the fracture was attended to by Mr. Geo. Booker, surgeon. We are glad to report that the patient passed a good night, and that the symptoms were favourable on Thursday morning.—Shejield Independent. REDUCTION OF THE IRISH CONVICT ESTABLISH mENt.—The entire convict establishment at Philipstown, in the R ing's county, is about to be closed, the officers be longing to it disposed of by gratuities or superannuation, and its cost struck off the estimates for the ensuing finan cial year. This is a very strong proof of 'he complete sue.• cess of Captain Crofton's system, and will leave the Irish Convict Directors only three prisons under their superin tendence—namely, Mcuntjoy Prison, in Dubi n; Spi Island Public 'Works Prison; and the intermediate est blishment at Smithfield, Dublin, with its appendage Lusk Farm. When the directors first u ndertookthe chaig of the Irish prisons there were 4,000 Irish co s i i convicts in the home establishments, besides several hundred n Bermmi and Gibraltar. There are now not 1,500 at ho me and non undergoing transportation.
