TATT E RSA LL'S.-MOWDAY. (From the Times of this day.) Our foreign intelligence still runs in one current. We learn from Vienna that Russia " simply and unconditionally" accepted the propositions made by Austria and. the Western Powers as to the funda mental conditions of the future treaty of peace. It may seem ungracious to cavil at so gratifying an announcement, but still we confess we should have been better pleased had the terms been offered to Russia in a shape which would have admitted of their being made, not into the foundation of a treaty, but into the substantive treaty itself. It is very possible that in this we may be quite wrong. We respect diplomacy much, and should respect it a great deal more, had we not had such recent and rueful experience of the errors which it is possible for the most learned professors of this occult and intricate science to commit. We have not yet for gotten the Vienna Note, which was to have de livered Turkey from the interference of Russia, only that, by the confession of its talented authors, it happened to have exactly the contrary effect ; and we are still struggling in the meshes of the Clayton-Balwer Treaty, which, we are told, was intended to save rights that it does not save, and has added tenfold perplexity to an already intri cate question. There might have been difficulties which we do not see in tendering to Russia a treaty for her execution, just as the seller of an estate tenders a conveyance to an unwilling pur chaser; but certainly no good reason could be given for the intentional circumlocutions and ambiguities with which the terms are encumbered. Why could we not say in so many words that English and French Consuls must be allowed to reside in the ports of the Jack Sea, instead of talking about " institutions suctioned by the law of nations ?" and why could we not demand at once an under taking not to fortify the Aland Isles, instead of veiling it under the pompous periphrasis of reserv ing to ourselves the right of proposing ulterior terms ? These are merely verbal criticisms, but in such cases words are things, and things of immense consequence when they serve to retard a settlement which it is of the last importance should not be delayed for an unnecessary hour. The•terms are accepted, purely, simply, and un conditionally. About them, therefore, if good faith is to be observed, the re oug ht t o be no dispute, and all that remains to be discussed is the best method of carrying them most effectively into execution. If we once depart from this simple and obvious rule, we shall be involved in intermi nable wranglings and discussions, and end by being either completely mystified, or perhaps cheated by the pen out . of the advantage we have won by the sword. If we adhere steadily to the conditions agreed upon the matter can soon be closed ; at all events, we protest, after our experience of last year, against the necessity or policy of an armistice. It is clearly our interest to have the question of peace or war decided as soon as possible, and we ought to take care as soon as we can that Russia shall have the same interest. But this she will not have if we once grant an armistice. Then it will be worth her while to ne gotiate fsr the sake of negotiation, and apply all the wily arts of which she is the mistress to pro tract the breathing-time ::allowed her, and to use threats, promises, and intrigues, to sow divisions in the councils of the allies, and among those Ger man States whose allegiance to their patron and protector is beginning perceptibly to waver. To us it is of no very great importance whether we have peace or war, but it is of the very last importance that our councils should not be distracted nor our attention diverted by a state of things which is neither the one nor the other, but the whole ad vantage of which is with our enemy and against us. The best and first proof that we can ask of Russian sincerity is that the Czar should be content to ne gotiate without requiring a suspension of hostili ties. This will be a proof that negotiation is not to him an end, but a means, and that the object ho has in view is peace itself, and not intrigue or de lay. It was expected that the publication of the weights for the leading Spring Handicaps would impart considerable activity to business to-day ; the Chester Cup was, how ever, the only handicap event touched upon. 20 to 1 was the highest offer against Coroner, who is likely to be closely pressed by Courtenay--25 to 1 being taken about the latter to some money ; 30 to 1 was taken to a small amount about Imogene ; Epaminondas was backed in company with Quince, at 1,000 to 25 each, and afterwards separately at 1,000 to 30 ; York shire Grey obtained good support at 1,000 to 25, and 1,000 to 30. These were the principal movements rela tive the Cup THE Two THOUSAND.—FIy-by-Night showed marked improvement; alter 4to 1 had been laid to 251., 7 to 2 was taken to some money ; 4 to 1 taken to upwards of 30W. about Yellow Jack. THE DERBY.-7 to 1 agst Wentworth, to 50/. ;9 to 1 agst Fly-by-Night, to 100/. ; and 13 to 1 agst Yellow Jack to 100/. were the only bets on this event that came under our notice.

We hear a great deal now about the immense influence which Prussia has exercised at the Court of St. Petersburg, and how it is by her instances, much more than those of Austria, that the change in the dispositions of the Emperor was brought about. There are States, as well as individuals, who will watch a man struggling in the water without making the slightest endeavour to save him, and when he has reached the shore encumber him with superfluous help. If the word of Prussia be thus all powerful, why has she with held it till now ? Why has she been deploring and making money out of the war, which a single earnest appeal from her would have been sufficient to stop ? In what capacity could such a Power be admitted to the conference ? Not as our ally, not as the ally of Russia, for she disclaims both charac ters ; not as impartial, for she has been at no pains to conceal her predilections; not as a great Power, for of a great Power she has deliberately abdicated the honours and duties. Her presence could only perplex, mystify, and protract - , and give colour and encouragement to any attempt on the part of Russia to evade the obligations she has undertaken. Prussia has mediatised heriself, and in the con ference of great Powers them is no place for shams. We may also express a hope that the place of the conference will not be Vienna, nor any town of Eastern Germany. If it - is to be neither London nor Paris, let it be some such place as Frankfort. Frankfort is free from Prussian or Austrian in fluences, and is easily accessible to all the 'contract ing parties. We should there breathe a freer at mosphere, and escape the Russianising influence which occasioned so remarkable a transformation of our Plenipotentiary in the course of last spring. Indeed, as to this point, precautions ought to be taken to prevent the country ::7roin being a second time exposed to discredit by the ignorance, the in capacity, or the vacillation of its representative. At a European conference like that now impending there is but one man who could worthily represent us—one man in whose hands every Englishman would feel confident that the destinies of the coun try were safe, who could speak with an authority such as no one else could command, and iu the presence of whose long experience and firm resolu tion no diplomatictour de force would be attempted. If the negotiation is to bo long, it ought not to be entered into at all ; if it is to be short, no man is so fit to conduct it as Lord Po.lmerston. The Prime Minister of England, the leader of the House of Commons, is also at this moment the complete re presentative of the feeling and spirit of the English people, and in that, the hit:hest character of the three, we trust he will not refuse his services to the nation which he has saved from disgrace and con ducted to victory.

ADDRESS or THE BAR ON TUE LATE SERGEANT ADAMS. Yesterday the adjourned general January quarter sea :shells for the trial of prisoners commenced at the Guild hall, Westminster, before the newly-appointed Assis tant-Judge, Mr. Pashley, Q.C. There was a good attendance of the magistrates of the county, and of the members of the bar, and amongst the former we ob served Mr. Pownall (the Chairman), Mr. Witham, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Turner, Mr. Payne, Mr. Kempett, Mr. Stillwell, Mr. Alsey, &c. &c. The calendar is rather heavier than usual, owing to the adjournment of the court, consequent upon the death of Mr. Sergeant Adams. It contains the names of 73 prisoners for trial, of whom 05 are charged with felony, and 8 with misdemeanour. The state of their education is thus defined :-21 can neither read nor write ; 19 can read ; 4 can read and write imperfectly ; 0 8 can read and write wells and one has received a superior education. After the jury had been sworn, Mr. Payne, the barrister, rose and said that, as eenier rusenber of the bar present, he could not allow that oppor tunity to pass without publicly expressing on the part of hi mse lf and his friends the deep regret they all felt at the less they had sustained by the late assistaeit-judge, Mr. Sergeant Adams. He remembered, in the course of the 30 years that he bad practi , ed in that court, no less than four as ditant-judgee—Mr. Cain, Mr. Morgan, Mr.Roohe, and Mr. Sergeant Adams ; and for the latter he could say that, take him for all in all, he might vie with all who had preceded him. Although occasionally he might show little ebullitions of temper, he was satisfied that he entertained mutual esteem for them all, and, al though "he nothing extenuated," he (Mr. Payne) felt certain that he " set down naught in malice." He little thought when, a few weeks since, he, on behalf of the bar, addressed some words of condolence to him on the loss of his gallant nephew, that in so short a space of time he should have to speak of him instead of to him. With respect to his successor, he would only say, in the words of Bacon, " that, though our sun has gone do an, no light has fallen," The Assistant-Judge said that although he had not attended much to the court when the criminal business was going on, still he had seen much of the late assist ant-judge when appeals were being heard, and for him self he could say that he had never had a single cross word with him. After stating that he trusted he should receive the assistance of the bar and magistrates, he concluded by saying that the bar had better arrange when it woull be convenient to take the appeal costs. Wm. Tobin, 23, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having unlawfully assaulted John Mitchell, a police constable, in the execution of his duty. There was a second charge against him for an assault on a private individual. The prisoner urged that he was drunk when it oe cuered, and he hoped he should be dealt lightly with. The officer said the prisoner had already suffered six months for an assault. The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to nine mouths' hard labour. John Yens, 28, servant, was indicted for stealing 14 spoons, and other articles, value 1001 , the property of the Hon Patrick Herbert Crighton Stuart, commonly called Lord James Stuart. Mr. Giffard appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was not defended. It appeared that in March last year the prisoner en tered the service of Lord James Stuart, whose residence is No. 0, Whitehall-place, as valet and butler, and re mained in that capacity until one day in July, when having applied to his lordship for leave to go out, and obtained it, he went and did not return. After he was (time, he sent grossly insulting letters to his lordship, in one of which he enclosed a number of pawnbroker',, duplicate t relating to articles of plate which he had purloined 'ram his master's pantry ; and in the other lie said he was about to be united to a wealthy lady, with whom he was going into a foreign c .untry, and he would remit the amount he had got on the plate to his lordship as soon as he got there: In the month of Do cembfr, however, he was seen in Piccadilly by a per son who had some suspicion that it was the same person who had stolen the plate, and he folio ved hi n to a public house and asked jr his name was not Venn He denied that it was, but his voice sati-fied the inquirer, who went outside, and spoke to another person. Observing this, the prisoner said his name was Venn, and asked the individual who accosted him to take something to drink with him, but he declined, and g ive him in charge. On being taken to Lord James Stuart's he was recognised by the coachman, and he then admitted that he had pledged the plate to raise money to pay debts he had in curred before he entered his lordship's service, through being so long out of place, that he applied to his master for an advance of 40/., to be stopped out of his wages, with which he meant to redeem the property, the prin cipal and interest not amounting to more than 35/. The articles to which the tickets related were produced by the various pawnbrokers. The prisoner in his defence said he hoped his lordship would not press the charge, as he certainly took the ar ticles with the intention of redeeming them, and should have done so, had his lordship acceded to his application for a loan of 40/., which was to have been deducted from his wages, and at that time there was a quarter's due. His lordship refused the loan, and one morning rang hi s dressing-room bell, and when he entered he sbut the door, placed his hack to it, and cursed and swore at him, so much so. that the servants below thought he had him down in a fit. Lord jettues Stuart, on being asked, said the prisoner did apply for a loan but he did not grant it. Mr. Gifford suggested that his lordship should be asked whether there was any truth in the prisoner's as sertions as to his language. The Assistant-Judge said the prisoner had merely made nn assertion, and had declined to ask any question about it. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and The Assistant-Judge sentenced hinr to 18 months' hard labour. THE PHEASANT SHOOTIIVG CASE AT TILIIANSTONE AND THE BOY VOILE. A good deal of sympathy has been expressed on be half of this poor uneducated "rook boy,"—the victim of justices' justice. But it is not generally known that ever since the charge was preferred against him, before the \Vingham bench of magistrates, of havingshot a phea sant, and he was sentenced to a month's imprisonment (but fortunately released through the generosity of a few friends), he has been deprived of the means of sup porting himself—his master " not requiring his ser vices." This fact, however, is easily accounted for ; One of the convicting justices —Mr. D'Aeth—is the landlord of the farm upon which young Hoile worked. So the lad is sent home to his father's (a farm la bourer), who has a bed-ridden wife and two daughters to support out of the small sum agriculturists pay their servants. That the boy was no poacher the evi dence upon which he was coorov'cted abundantly proved, and which is supported by the general opinion of the village, excepting, of course, the noir,. On" prosecutor in the case (Mr. Rice, M.P. for Dover), shared in even by the reverend incumbent of the parish of Tilwanstone, who has known the lad for the last 13 years, and speaks well of his general character. He has heard none, the slightest imputation against Hoile, arid does not believe that ho is, or ever has been, a poacher. The ruling powers, however, of the neighbourhood Lave closed the avenues of honest employment against the lad ; and un less others act like the generous Lord Londeshorough, who considerately forwarded 5/. to be appropriated to his benefit, there is no telling what the issue may be. The case, however, is left in the hands of the public, who, it ri ay fairly be expected, will see justice done. It is a somewhat I.( inarkable circumstance that the parish in which this led has been brought up cannot boast of a single day school, nor is there one within a circuit of two miles. This is not to be attributed to the want of exerti ,, n on the part of the earne-t and honest vicar, lout to the absence of a corresponding feeling of regard for the interest and welfare of the working classes on the part of those whose duty it is to assist in making such provision. 40 5 lit. 25 all all all all all all all 12s. 41 324 WO all 10 10 all 'Do..
