V.3),t LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1856. Lord CLARENDON, in his address to the Lords on Thursday evening, did not express any very sanguine views respecting Russian sincerity in the forthcoming negotiations. Ho candidly confessed that " great doubts and anxieties must of course be felt as to the result ;" adding emphatically, "It is impossible to deny that great doubt is felt as to the sincerity with which Russia may have accepted these conditions. The readiness with which she has accepted them, and the manner in which she proceeded last year, after purely and simply accepting the terms of peace, have increased that doubt !" It is fortunate that Lord CLAREN DON has not been hoodwinked or deceived by Russian duplicity, and that the English represen tative at the Paris Conferences will exercise the utmost possible vigilance over the proceedings of those with whom he may be required to negotiate. But with such an impression abroad, the pro priety and justice whereof he so freely admits, why, we ask, should an armistice be concluded for any period, however brief ? Lord CLARENDON declares that he fully agrees with Lord DERBY that the armistice should be " of the shortest possible du ration." Why, then, have one at all ? The season effectually prevents any very active opera tions by land or water. The winter has bound over all parties to keep the peace, for the time being, and there will be ample time to arrive at a complete and final arrangement if Russia be in earnest, and resolved to submit to reasonable terms—far less onerous, by the way, than any she had a right to anticipate. There was no armistice last year, although the acceptance of the Four Points was just as pure and simple as that so reluctantly given by the Casa. to the recent Propositions of Austria. But no energetic measures were adopted until the curtain had fallen on the diplo matic farce. Then the expedition to Kertch and Tenikale was organised, that led to such impor tant results. The Russian flag was driven from the Sea of Azoff, as it had p rev i ously been from the Euxine, and the gallant PI:LIMIER inaugu rated the series of brilliant expl o it s that have added imperishable renown to his glorious n ame, and reflected so much lustre on the arms of our faithful Allies. Why, then, we repeat, an armistice ? Why supp ly a powerful motive to the adversary for procrastination and delay ? We are told in the Royal Speech that there shall be no relaxation of the naval and military preparations until a satisfactory (?) treaty of peace sh a ll h ave been concluded. The Foreign Minister repeats the announcement in the Lords, and it is dwelt on with considerable power by the Premier in the Commlns. No expense will therefore be saved to the country by the temporary truce. as we have already stated, we hold out an inducement to the enemy to procrastinate and delay, while sh e is enabled to supply her most urgent wants of money, and what are usually termed " contraband of war," with far greater facility, in consequence of the change. This armistice is concluded while Kars is in the hands of the enemy ! We s h all thus be precluded from striving to wash out that deep stain on the national escutcheon of Great Britain. Well may the CZAR rejoice at the culpable weakness that THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2 1656. yielded to Germanism and let him off so easily at such a time, and under such circumstances. The preparations so grossly neglected for two years have at length been completed. The much requitred gun-boats at length are forthcoming. Somothing may this year be effected in the Baltic to retrieve our naval reputation, net forfeited byany deficiency on the part of our sailors, but impaired by the apathy and indifference of the Board of Ad miraty. No Englishman doubts the accuracy of wbtat fell from the Ministers in both branches of the Legislature, to the effect that "we should be ju stifled in expecting that another campaign would result in successes which might perhaps entitle us to require —perhaps enable us to obtain —even better conditions than those which have been offered to us." Why, then, did we accept those conditions, contrary to the wishes clearly and unequivocally expressed of an overwhelming majority of the people of Great Bri tain ? We do not blame Lord PALMERSTON or Lord CLARENDON for this untoward result. The mischief is deeper seated, and may, unless averted in time, lead to consequences very preju dicial to the safety, honour, and welfare of our dearly-beloved SOVEREIGN, and her dominions, and her people. Mr. Lowe is not only a zealous and energetic, but a cautious and prudent legal reformer. It was on a question of the amendment of the law that he first acquired the Parliamentary reputa tion which he has since so well maintained, and so greatly extended. It was impossible that he could find a better subject to deal with than the Law of Partnership, or one that afforded clearer scope for his efforts at improvement. The English Law of Partnership—the inflexible determination to make every man who advanced_ a single shilling in any business on condition of obtaining any share of the profits responsible with his whole property—has excited the astonishment of other nations, while it has acted most preju dicially for the best interests of the commercial community. The extraordinary principle thus I established, which rendered unlimited liability the result of any investment of capital save at a fixed rate of interest—which strove to make it the inevitable consequence of any partici pation of profit, was not the result of legislative consideration. It was what may be emphatically termed, " Judge-made law"—the overruling of wiser decisions that had previously been recog nised. Nor was it merely with respect to capi talists that the prohibition operated. Clerks or servants could not be remunerated for their ser vices by any share of the clear gains without being liable, both in person and property, for all the debts of the firm, in the management whereof they exercised no control. All these consequences arose from the judgment of the Court in Waw" v. CARVER (2 H. Black stone, 235), pronounced so lately as 1793, and founded on an erroneous interpretation of the case of GRACE V. SMITH (Blackstone, Rep. 998), which not only was not an authority in favour of the view subsequently taken, but altogether opposed to it. On this point Mr. Commissioner FANE—and it is impossible to find a more unexceptionable witness—in speaking of this strange provision of the law of Partnership, says, "I was so startled and amazed that I tse about tracing it to its source, and then I dis covered that it had, properly speaking, no foun dation at all. I traced. it to a case decided in 1793, on the alleged authority of a case decided in 1775, which last not only did not affirm, but actually negatived, the liability of the alleged partner." Indeed Chief Justice DE GREY and the three Puisne Judges ruled in favour of the defendant. The experiment was several times re peated, but always with a similar result ; until, in 1793, WAUGH V. CARVER was decided, pro fessedly on the authority of GRACE V. SMITH. We see, then, that in dealing with this impor tant question we are not overthrowing any of the ancient landmarks or constitutional doctrines of our commercial law; but merely getting rid of a vicious precedent, which rested altogether on an erroneous and defective foundation. It might, however, be supposed, from the outcry made by some of the advocates of the condemned law, that Parliament was required to abolish the stronghold of mercantile security, ' and to expose our trade and commerce to a torrent of fraud and systematic deception. Although, apart' from prejudice, it would be difficult to find how 'the advance of a sum of money, by a dormant partner, whose name was not even known to the creditors, and who for feited any claim to a dividend, until they had received twenty shillings in the pound, could lessen the stability of the firm merely because he was to be remunerated for the use of his capital by a pro portion of the profits, while the money lender, who bargained for 30, 40, 50, or even GO per cent. certain, might not only escape with impunity, but would be entitled to prove his claim, not only for the money advanced, but also for the enormous and ruinous rate of interest agreed on. Last season the propriety of a change received the Legislative sanction. The Limited Liability Bill was hurried through both Houses, even at the last moment, while the Partnership Amendment Bill the twin measure, involving the same principle was permitted to share the an nual " Massacre of the Innocents." The result of the indispensable haste was, that many miscalled amendments were reluctantly accepted, and a temporary enactment only carried, open to many grave and serious objections. We rejoice to find that Mr. Lowe has resolved to deal with the entire subject, of which he has taken a very large and comprehensive view, and that he pro poses to repeal the Act of last Session, as well as the Joint-Stock Companies Registration and Winding-up Acts, and to establish in their place a complete code, contained in two bills, which he last night obtained leave to introduce. One of these measures relates to private partnerships, to which the privilege of limited liability will be extended on very fair and reasonable terms. The other will regulate the incorporation and proceedings of Joint-Stock Companies, Bank ing and Insurance Companies being excluded from the operation of the act. The principle now ad vocated is " the freedom of contract and the right ofuntlo the unlimited associati on ." It i s th e necessary corol larymeasures calculated to produ c e " unre stricted competiti on or free trade," and we heartily thank the 'Vice-President of the Board of Trade for the handsome instalment of justice which he has tendered to the Commercial interests of the nation, which strike' so m any galling trade, and promise to place it in a far mfeetrteerhseafrlothilyl condition than it has occ u pi ed for many years. Without predicating the guilt or innocence of any individual or body of individuals, at h ome or abroad, we say the mystery of the Pall of Kars cannot be subjected to too searching an investiga. tion, or be exposed too thoroughly. Our desire, a nd, we trust, the desire of all who comprehend the importance of that disastrous event, is not to inculpate individuals on mere suspicion, but to detect the veritable culprit or culprits, and ascer tain as prec i se ly as possible the degree of crimi nality attaching to each. Anything short of the amraplisizraent of this will be of little service to the interests, the honour, and the glory of the nation, and the cause of the Allies. In the first place, it will be necessary to ascer tain—as Mr. Dattent seems bent on doing— whether the Turkish Loan, or the required pro portion of it, was transaiitted in due time to the Turkish Treasury, so as to be available for the relief of the fallen fortress. .In the second, the conduct of the Turkish Government s of our Am bassador at Constantinople, and of the Allied Ge nerals, including OMER PACIIA. and SELIM PACHA, together with the instructions sent by our Go vernment, will have to be rigidly inquired into. Ugly and conflicting rumours are current, and, in mere justice to all parties, the truth must be elicited. It is said that the loan did not all reach the Turkish Treasury, and what did arrived too late to be of real service. That our Ambassador, in the wanton indulgence of a disreputable pique, cared more that General WILLIAMS should fail than that the cause of the Allies should triumph or suffer serious loss in Armenia, and consequently mocked that general's entreaties. That OMER PACHA was sent too late, and too ill supplied to be of service, and did all he could under the circumstances. That he was not too late, nor ill supplied, but that he had no heart for his task. That SEWN PACHA, bribed by Russian gold, played the traitor, and lured the garrison to fight on until nothing was left them but to sur render. That the said Pacha was merely inca pable. That he did all he could be expected to do. That the real culprits, or the grand culprits, are to be found in this country. That Kars was suffered to fall because of " instructions from home." That our Ambassador says as much. That Government is to blame, and especially to blame, because such instructions were not the result of their own want of judgment, but of pressure from without, and that pressure from an unconstitutional quarter. That an individual is to be found in high position who has from the first controlled the war policy of our Government in the petty dynastic interests of Germany, to the advantage of Russia, and to the humiliation, loss, and dishonour of the Alliev, and that itt the pur suit of that policy Kars was offered as a sop to Russia. The existence of so many and such conflicting rumours—and the above are not the whole— bespeaks at once the immense importance of the subject and the imperative necessity for a rigid inquiry. Anything were better than this state of doubt, for none but the guilty and the enemy can at all profit by it. So long as it continues the health of the alliance must suffer, and the cause they are banded to promote also. There is treason, foul treason, infamous treason somewhere, and it is of little use winning victories in Europe to be ontbalanced by losses in . Asia. The inquiry must, we repeat, be pursued to the utmost, reckless what the consequences may be to individuals, and only careful to ascertain the truth. It is known that troops in abundance were available for the relief of the fallen fortress. That °Malt PA CHA, successful general though he was, was suffered to continue in unwelcome inaction with the troops under his command in the Crimea, when they might have been employed with signal advantage in preventing or breaking up the investiture of Kars. That at the very last, when he was sent, he was sent without due provision for the accom plishment of the task he was instructed to un dertake. That 'failing him, or in any case, the services of the Turkish Contingent were refused, and that corps suffered to re main idle from first to last. That Kars, after incessant entreaties for relief, fell at last by famine Ind not by the sword, and need never have been invested even had ordinary care or pru dence been manifest. These thingsat the very least are known, as well as the immense advantage of the possession of the fortress to Russia in the pending negotiations, no less than as a strategic point should the War be continued ; and these being known, no suspicion can be rejected because of its blackness, and none involved in the affair be vindicated by their previous character and present good conduct. Kars fell. Why was it suffered to fall ? General WILLIAMS surrendered when he had done all mor tal daring and ingenuity could effect. Why were his entreaties unavailing ? The nation of itself would have seen him exchanged, and under no circumstances can receive, by way of palliation, his release, for the loss of a great fortress, of a campaign, of the many brave men of the gar rison slain, and of the 16,000 who, though famine struck, marched proudly out, and yielded up arms their failing strength would not suffer them longer to hold, and became prisoners to an enemy they had beaten ignominiously back, and who could never alone have subdued them. The glory and the reward of the betrayed garrison will never b• suffered to stand in the place of an exposure of its betrayers.

T'JUIN, Jan. 27.—The Ministerial project for esta blishing a bank of issue at Cagliari was again the sub ject of debate in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, but made little progress beyond the rejection of an amendment proposed by the Deputy Sine°, to the effect that the notes should be made legal tenders.

VIENNA, FEB, 1. To-day, at noon, a protocol, recording the ac ceptance of the Austrian proposals as a basis of peace, was signed at Vienna by the Ministers of Russia, France, England, Austria, and Turkey. Accounts from St. Petersburg state that the hopes of peace have caused merchants to purchase largely for exportation. THE PEACE PRELIMINARIES. PARIS, SATURDAY, FEB. 2, 8 A.M. The Moniteur announces that as the adhesion of Russia to the five propositions presented by Austria, with the consent of France and England, will serve as peace preliminaries, Russia proposed the signing of a protocol at Vienna, to enregister the adhesion of the contracting Courts, and to de clare that the Plenipotentiaries shall meet within three weeks for signing the preliminaries for the conclusion of an armistice, and for the opening of general negotiations, The English Government had selected Paris for the seat of the Conferences. Austria has consented to this choice. The Moniteur adds that the protocol, enre gistering the acceptance of all the parties, was signed yesterday at noon, at Vienna, and it was decided that the Plenipotentiaries of the Powers which are to take part in the negotiations shall be at Paris before the 20th of February. THE CRIMEA. According to official reports lying before me, writes a St. Petersburg correspondent of the Cologne Gazette), the army in the Crimea, which Prince Gortschakoff has just handed over to General Luders, is composed as follows ;—The 4th, sth, 10th, 11th, 16th, and 17th division of infantry (24,000 men), the 15th reserve division of infantry (4,000 men), with the appurtenant rifle battalions of artillery and cavalry, the drushines of the 38th and 54th (7,000 men) militia of Kaluga, two regi ments of the 2d brigade of the 6th division of in fantry (2,000 men), a brigade of the 2d dragoon divisions (two regiments, 1,600 men). In the po sitions of Sarabus and Troch-Ablun, the 2d and 3d grenadier division (8,00) choice troops) with artil lery, the half of the 12th division of infantry (2,000 men) with artillery, the 39th, 40th, 41st, and 42d drushines of Kursk (4,000 men). Of ar tillery, 280 field-pieces. The corps of observation near Kertch, Theodosia, and Eupatoria, are not in cluded in this computation. THE IVIEDII ERRANEAN. MARSEILLES, Jan. 30.—A remarkably fine body of men, consisting of 700 of the 3d battalion of Chasseurs de Vincennes, arrived here yesterday from the Crimea. They sailed from Kamiesh in the British steamer Glasgow on the Ist of January, and from Constantinople on the 16th. The Glas gow entered the port at eight in the morning ; but, as there were some cases of typhus fever on board, the troops were not permitted to land until the sanitary board had held a consultation, to which the physicians on board the Glasgow were summoned. At two in the afternoon the Chas seurs were drawn up on the quay of the Joliette. They looked thoroughly well, and in excellent condition. They did not conceal their joy at again standing on their native soil. The officers were remarkably neat in their dress. The 3d (Mas seurs was one of the first regiments which left France for the East. They distinguished themselves at the battle of Inkerman and again at the capture of the Mamelon Vert, for which several of them are decorated. Their colours are riddled with Russian shot. Tho cantiniere of the regiment is said to have realised 150,000 f. by selling provisions and liquor while in the Crimea. THE TURKISH CONTINGENT. (From the Correspondent of the Morning Post. ) KERTCH, Jan. 9.—At length we have been treated to an alert by the Russians. After long expectation, we had almost given up faith in their existence, until they thought proper to disturb us last Sunday. We had just arrived at church, and were awaiting the commencement of the ser vice, when, instead of our respected clergyman walking in sedately, as becomesa minister, in rushed a booted and sabred hussar, bearing a message of war, instead of breathing the words of peace. In a second the ro om was dserted, and the congrega tion scattered in every direction, though none could say exactly why. At length rumour assumed a tangible form, and, as is natural, crescebat eundo, for that which reached the Lieut.-General's ears as a simple warning of the Cossacks having been seen, by the time it reached mine was magnified into the following terrible announcement :—" The Russians having taken Yenikale, are on the point of taking Fort Paul by storm, while their main body is within a mile of the town." Partly from curiosity, partly because my duties led one in that direction, I ascended the Museum Hill, and gazed across the wide expanse of plain ; but, alas ! my eyes were not greeted by a single object which even the most feverish imagination could convert into a Cossack. The plain, it is true, was dotted with moving ob jects, but they could easily be detected to be bul locks being driven into the town, or harmless sheep lost in amazement a t what all these unwonted rcionnds could mean. After searching in vain for the enemy, I turned toward the town, which, from this height, presented an extremely picturesque and animated appearance.. The Turkish drums were beating to arms, and the soldiers could be seen hurrying from their quarters with cheerful alacrity, apparently only desirous of an opportu nity to revenge themselves on their detested foe, the MOSCOY Ciaour. Regiment after regiment moved along beneath my feet, and in an incredibly short space of time the lines were speckled with troops, who had entirely laid aside their national apathy, while every available point of attack was defended by the field-guns. Not long after, the Chasseurs d'Afrique trumpets sounded to boot and saddle, and they went off, with the few 10th Hussars we have, to reconnoitre the road, where dense columns of smoke indicated that the Cossacks were at their usual amusement. After a while the town became quite still ; and had it not been for the noisy shouts of the Russians, already drunk with the anticipa tion of victory and consequent plunder, I could scarcely have believed that. was gazing on a city which might, so soon experience all the horror of war for a second time. After a while, however, the troops began to return, 'and, as a Turkish cap tain explained to me, with a most inimitable throwing up of his arms, and smacking of his fingers, the Russian atta c k was all bosh. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EYRNING. The following is from the letter of the Times Paris correspondent, dated Friday, 6 p.m. : I have to correct, or rather to add, to a passage in my letter of Wednesday, with reference to the conditions on which M. Nesselrode declared in his despatch to Prince Gortschakoff, which reached Vienna on the 23d, th a t he accepted "purely and simply" the Austrian propositions. I mentioned that Russia required that no territorial concession should be exacted from her beyond the rectifica tion already noticed ; that she should not be re quired to pay the expenses of the war, and that in return she would undertake not to reconstruct the fortress of Bomarsund. The conditions to her acceptance of the ultimatum were not, it seems, confined to the above. M. do Nesselrode required that the protocol should be signed at Vienna; that two of her Plenipotentiaries should be present at tho Conferences in Paris, When the preliminaries should be signed ; that directly the preliminaries were signeda general armisticeshould boproclainiod, and that the general conditions of definitive peace should be afterwards discussed and signed at Paris. These point s , I b e li eve , th e English and French Ambassadors thought it necessary to refer to their respective Governments. M. Walewski, as minister for Foreign Affairs of the country in whose capital the conferences are to be held, will preside on the occasion. The Pleni potentiaries are expected in Paris on the 20th. Row long the conferences will l as t i s not sta t e d with any degree of certainty, but in official quar ters it is believed that the whole business will occupy at least six weeks. Some surprise has been expressed at the delay in signing the protocol. It was reported some few days ago that the signatures had been already -hied. Shia ..is not , the ease ; but I am taeured that this , preliminary formality would take place to-day, and indeed, that at the moment I write, it may be con sidered as a fait accompli. The names of the Ple nipotentiaries I have already communicated, and they remain the same as when I wrote. Of the Ottoman Plenipotentiaryl can say nothing, as up to last night the Turkish Ambassador did not know whom his Government had selected. M. de Nesselrode was most desirous of representing Rus sia on the occasion, but it is said, owing to strong opposition on the other side, his wish will not be realised, and MM. Orloff and Brunow are the par ties definitively fixed on. I cannot say whether the opinion which would attribute to the latter a spirit of opposition to peace is well founded or not. BOURSE, Feb.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was quiet, but prices were steady. The sales were 12,000 bales, including 5,000 for export and on speculation. The imports for the week amount to 91,837 bales, s • wing an increase of 15,746 on that of the corresponding week of 1855. During the week 84,500 bales were sold. The total imported this year is 218,848, and the stock in hand on the Ist February was 419,400 bales against 425,820 in 1855. In the Railway Share Market a large busi ness was transacted, and prices advanced, closing at their best point. In the Bank of England Return for the week ending the 26th ult. the changes exhibited are of rather au unsatisfactory character, and give further evidence of the pressure for money. With the discount market in its present unfavourable con dition no improvement can be expected, and unless some large arrivals of specie from Australia or other places are shortly reported the decline in the stock of bullion is likely to continue.

Some large sales have taken place in American rye at 121 florins per 70 kilogrammes. In coffee there has been a large speculative purchase in Brazil qua lities. The demand for oleaginous grains is limited, and prices are declining. In cotton the prices are firm, and the market active. The best qualities range from 54c. to 70c. the 1 kilogramme, and a large sale of Louisiana inferior sorts realised from 341 c. to 35c. In Carolina rice a good busi ness was doing at 481 florins per bag. Sugars were steady at the reduced prices of the week, a sale of 30,000 kilogrammes ranged from 401 florins to 59 florins per 50 kilogrammes. Accounts from Hamburg announce that naviga tion is now open for the season at that port. The prospects of the spring tride are looked upon with favour should the pending negotiations for peace be concluded, although the grain exports will not be so profitable. The reduction in wheat continues at this market, and sales are not easily effected at a decline of 35., 45., and ss. per quarter. The improvement which occurred in the English Stock market yesterday afternoon has not been maintained, and from the highest quotations cur rent this morning, the fall has been about per cent. The scarcity of money and the pressure of sales have produced this change, and the market appears to be in a very unsettled state. Consols, after being 90y have receded to 901 both for money and account, while for March there have been dealings at 91 to 911. The New 3 per Cents. have been 91; to 92, and the Reduced 91 to 911;-. Bank Stock has been 2111 to 213. Ex chequer Bills are 10s. to ss. discount, and India Bonds 10s. discount. The Foreign Market has been dull, and closes flatly. Turkish 6 per Cents. opened at 911, but have since receded to 931 but the 4 per Cents. have ruled firm at 1011 g. Russian 5 per Cents. have improved to 105. Spanish New Deferred were 24, and the Committee's Certificates 4 to 51. Grenada Deferred Bonds brought 7, Mexican 201, Peruvian 41- per Cents. 81, ditto 3 per Cents, 57, and Dutch 2 per Cents. 64 and 641. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i 71; Mexican, 20-!; ; Peruvian, 80 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 57 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 47 49 ; Russian 5 per Cents.. 103 106 ; ditto , A per Cents., 92 94 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 43,k 2 ; ditto Deferred, 231 4 ; ditto Certificates, 6 1 ; ditto Passive, 42 51. There has been a good deal of excitement in the Railway market and the advance has in several cases amounted to 1 per cent. The South Western, however, after the recent material rise, have been weaker. The French lines have all improved. Mines, Hanks, and Miscellaneous Shares have ruled quiet.
