In this despatch, it is stated that his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria; though findinr, the Allied Powers unalterably resolved not to take the initiative in pacific over tures, nevertheless, believes himself justified in expressing the hope that these powers continue to hold the principles which guided them at the outset, and have no dhjects of aggrandisement in. view. The Imperial Cabinet therefore, encouraged to endeavour to ,procure • a settlement taking. the four Russia, as the best principles already accepte d b y Lions already known starting, point.

Count Buol a l so adds, that if the propositions are accepted, Austria will not hesitate, warmly, to r ecommend th e i r acceptance to the courts of Lon don and Paris, and that he is persuaded the special conditions will be no serious obstacle. "We will riot," says the Count, in conclusion, " the gr ave consequences which enter upon Russia will entail upon herself, by refusing to advance • upon th e paths which are a second time Open to her, for ag at an honourable reconciliation ; a refusal of which, would bring upon her.the weight of an immense responsibility.

If he were dis posed to enlarge upon the question, he could not well do; so, in Mr. Brown's presence, but lie felt quite certain that every heart and hand there, would respond most cordially to that resolution, for he did not know that they ever had a friend who had so signalised himself by his attentio n to the interests of the institution, and not alone by his kind and liberal support of that charity, but for his uniform and extensive benevolence.

Just. prior to the adjournment Mr. Mitchell, a solicitor, said, that having. been a partner of the late Mr. Waugh, he was anxious to correct some erroneous statements which had gone forth tending to injure his memory. - He-had prepared a statement, which he b. , gged the coroner would allow him to read. The Coroner said that it would be irregular in the present state of the proceedings, but he had no doubt that if Mr. Mitchell handed his statement to the reporters, they would gladly give it insertion. Mr. Mitchell said he would adopt that course, and handed to the preis a most confused and illegible document, of which the following is the best translation that can be made:- _ _ I, Henry Sadler Mitchell, of 5, Great Present-street, Goodman's-fields, vestry clerk of the parish 'of St. Marv, Whitecbapel, state that I was on terms of very great inti macy with the late Mr. Waugh, with whom I was n partner for seven years, expiring in March last. That I was on terms of great intimacy with his family, and was during the partnership a constant visitor at his house, occasionally so since the partnership. That I was well acquainted with the transactions between the deceased and the prisoner. That the deceased, as the solicitor, and his family, some two or three years ago instituted a snit in Chancery, and by his ability and perseverance gained for them an estate worth several thousands of pounds. That attempts were made to sell the property, which were greatly frustrated by the extraordinary conduct of the prisoner, much to the annoyance of some, if not of all the rest, of the family. That at length the prisoner was induced —insult to sell his share of the property to some of the rest of his family, and Monday last was appointed for the completion of the transaction ; but again owing to the , xtraordinary conduct of the prisoner, although the money arniqhed to Mr. Waugh was ready before, it could not settled.

ALLEGED Mtranzn.—On Wednesday Mr. Carter, coro ner for East Surrey, opened an inquest at the Crooked Billet, Ham, on the bodies of Mate Ann Peacock, a widow, lately resident at Kingston, and Eliza Peacbdk, her youngest child, aged between two and three years. It appeared that two men, named Jackson and Ford, were in custody on suspicion of having caused the death of the deceased by drowning. Jackson is the captain, and Ford the mate, of a barge plying between Kingston and London. Several witnesses having been examined, the inquiry was adjourned. The evidence, so far as it extended, showed that Ford was improperly in!imate with the elder deceased, who occasionally visited him in his barge at night, returning about two or three in the morning. On Monday se'nnight, Ford went to her house about tea-time, when a man named Elammerton was there. Ford, apparently displeased at his visits, ordered him to leave at once. Hammerton, who taught the deceased wr iti ng , l e f t soon a f terwards, and Ford then press e d t h e e ld er d ecease d t o go to the barge.

The deceased and her child were subsequently seen at an early hour on Tuesday morning on board the barge, but they were never seen alive after that lime. The prisoners have made s'atements widely different from each other ; and Ford told the police authorities that he never knew anything of the deceased, and had never been in her company.

Peel and e severally returi the health or Lady Pe I than To this replied, recalling the associations of the lington and Peel, which the event of the morning wa, lie proposed Lord Tweedale's health, when thg noble lord again expressed his gratifica• tion at the union. Earl Granville then said—l have been flattered with the delicate and honourable commission of proposing the health of the six young ladies who have taken so prom inent a part in adorning the ceremony of this day. It is impossible. without emotion, to behold under 'this roof, on such an occasion,,the two sons of Wellington and Peel -especially where the sister of a lady Whose tenderness and devotion to the Great Duke will render her insepar ably Connected With the later days of his history— is about to form, as her noble father has happily described it, a link which unites both of those illustrious families. Of Sir Robert Peel I can speak . from my own personal knowledge as a fellow-countryman and a brother yeoman. This much perhaps I may be permitted to say, that the character of the bridegroom is worthy the gentleness and beauty of the bride. . I hardly know any story of modern times equalling in romantic danger and interest that sudden and terrible midnight plunge, which Sir Robert Peel made from a sinking ship in the Mediterranean, where his cour age and intrepidily alone saved him from the peril of a premature death. The plung he has made this day has not been in the dark. and I don't think it has required much moral courage. But for you, young ladies (t.. to the bridesmaids), it is, nevertheless, a solemn warning. The plunge he has this day made is a pl unge th a t must come at last to all of you. Believe me, the longer you stand shivering.on the brink, the more violent will be the shock when it, occurs. The noble earl's speech caused much laughter, which had hardly ceased when 'Lord Palmerston rose to'respond for the bridesmaids. His lordship said—On the part of the bridesmaids, whose cham pion I are, I beg to return you their thanks. Fortunately, —without any disparagement to their charms, —I am de prived of that qualification which I think all ought to pos sess who are called upon to perform my duty. But I, can assure you that the graces of these young ladies no less command my admiration than that of the young gentlemen, so many of whom I see around me exhibiting signs of envy of the proud position which lam permitted to occupy. In these days of negotiation it is the fashion to depend much on the mediation of intervening parties. (A. laugh.) I strongly recommend those young gentlemen who are about to enter upon tender diplomacies, not to have recourse to any such mediating parties, but to use direct negotia tion, which, although not always successful in politics, is by far the best plan. If my recommendation be adopted, I have lit`le doubt that, before this day. twelvemonths, I shall have the honour to assist at several successful negoti ations between the young gentlemen whom I see before me and the fair maidens whom,l have now the honour to re present. There is an old song, ladies and gentlemen, the refrain of which I remember. runs thus 4 ‘ She is a charming woman, And he is a fortunate man." arnin2 In the caves before me I doubt.not the virtues and prosperity are shared alike in the same proportions, and will ensure to the successful negociators lasting affection and permanent happiness for their joint lives. . The noble viscount's happy address was received with unanimous applause, and made a fitting close for the ban quet, the company shortly afterwards retiring to the draw io- g-room The bridesmaids were Ladies Jane and Julia Hay, sisters of the ,bride, the Misses Peel, and Lady Louisa Hamilton. The happy couple shortly afterwards left en route for Drayton Manor, the Right Honourable Baronet's seat, to spend the honeymoon. On their arrival at Tamworth, they were received with".the liveliest Mani festations, of joy. The tenantry of the district were on the qui vine, the bells rang forth merry peals, and the iisual demonstrations of rejoicing were evinced. The judicious arrangements at the station, and the cordial reception and welcome made to' the gallant bridegroom and his fair bride, were satisfactory ina , ugurations'of a happy future to the deservedly respected couple.

He states that on the 16th of November, when between Cape Ray and St. Paul's, he put the ship under close.reefed top sails, the wind blowing a strong gale. The pumps were carefully attended to, but the vessel made little or no water at that time. Towards midnight the wind began to veer to the eastward, blowing a perfect gale, varying from every point of the compass, the cross sea causing the ship to labour and strain much. The wind then got into the N.W., and blew, if possible, harder, the ship making more water. Towards daybreak, while in the act of veering the ship before the wind, a heavy sea struck her on the starboard side, carrying away quarter boat, bulwarks, stanchions, filling the deck, taking an ordinary seaman overboard, and causing the ship to make agreat deal more water. The master got the ship before wind, and kept both pumps going. He ran her five hours before the gale, but the leak gained fast on the pumps, when the ship became unmanageable. At about ten a.m., he furled both topsails, and ran bare poles, keeping both pumps going. He sent the carpenter into the lazaretto, but before that officer could get on deck again the water was three feet in the lower deck, At noon the vessel filled and blew up the hatches. At that moment the master saw nothing be fore him hut death, for the wind and sea were dreadful. He ordered all hands into the rigging, and brought the ship to. She came to the wind, but the first sea swept the deecs of everything—boats, water-casks, front of the cabia _everything overboard, both inside and out of the cabin. The master, chief mate, and second mate, had not a change of clothes to put on. The crew remained 24 hours in the tops. It was snowing and freezing all the time. Some of t h e cre w were so. benumbed that they could not move. The master and a few of the men got on deck, and got out of the cabin about half a hundred weight of bread from the top of the bre7d locker that was not wet with salt water, and conveyed it to the tops—nine men in each top, in which they remained 24 hours longer. The gale moderated a little ; they then cut all away above the mast heads, which eased her very much. Towards night again the gale in creased. They had to take to the tops again, and there they remained four nights longer. Part of the crew on each top began to lose the use of their feet and hands, and—what was worse—they had not a drop of water, and their thirst w as f ear f u l , which made them look at each other with frightful despair. The looks of the men, the master states, he will never forget, for hunger is.nothing to thirst, and the cold was so piercing he thought that the crew would all have been frozen to death. On the 6th day six of the crew were unable to move, having no use of their feet or legs, and those who were not so bad had to carry the others down. In this sad condition the master says that his crew seemed to want nothing but water. But God remem bered them in His mercy, for it remained calm for about eight hour's, and snowed. They then saved about nine gallons of snow water, and Rot it up into each top. The next morning at daybreak the Isle of Miquelon was in view. It lies about six miles to the westward of St. Peter's, and was about ten miles from the ship; but they had no boats to help them.

A BAD Boy.--A boy, named Matthew Oxley, at.;patently about thirteen years of age, the son of a cutler, was charged by his mother with having stolen a piece of cotton, which he sold for twopence. The poor woman said she had tried every means to reform the lad, but all to no purpose, as he stole every -onld lay his hands on. He bad been charged by his "-- th;n7s. and she really er four tiro previOu did not know what to pay for him in a rcforr to be taken before Mr. Mans. , who would order sary steps to be taken to have him sent to a reformatory. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—James Nagle, Mary Nagle, and James Murphy, were brought up by detective officers Scaife and Thompson, charged on suspicio'n of being concerned in extensive robberies of the boot and shoe shops through town, for some time past. The first case taken was that of Mr. Desore, of Boundary-street, London-road, whose shop was broken into on the night of the 19th December, and twenty two pairs of boots and shoes stolen. On the 20th, some of the property was pledged at the pawnshop of Mr. Barton, Birken head, and the officers having discovered this, it led to the subsequent arrest of the prisoners, who resided at No. 2, Prudhoe -street. An assistant in the shop of Mr. Barlow, proved that the female prisoner pledged the boots. In reply to Mr. Wybergh, he said the prisoner told him the boots were het own, and he was satisfied she was correct. Mr. Bolton said it , ,was quite improper, on the part of the pawnbroker, to take in such property. It was very suspicious, on the part of the pawnbroker, to take odd boots and shoes, as these were, without proper enquiry: Miss Margaret Gracie. the daughter of a pawnbroker, residing at Birkenhead, proved that the female prisoner pledged shoes, &c., with her, and told her that they were made by her ' father and mother, and she felt satisfied all was correct. It appeared that the shops of Mr. Williams, Soho street, and Mr. Browning, of London road, were broken into and robbed—the latter of 23, and the former of 12, pairs of boots and shoes. A considerable quantity of the property was found pledged in several pawnbrokers, and among them were Mr. Pryer, Hill street, in reference to whose conduct Mr. Bolton said it was so had that it afforded facilities to robbers to dispose of property. The pawn-tickets relating to the pledged property were found by the officers in the residence of the prisoners, and after the examination of several witnesses the evidence was deemed quite complete, and the prisoners were - fully committed for trial at'the sessions. 4-t a general tregao?a of FtM. , Leverrier, on Monday, much interest was occasioned by the famous glass, now nearly finished, to complete which M.

He states that the money was used for the purpose of enabling a lady to prosecute a Chancery suit, and that it is not improbable the money will be repaid.

ADMINISTR kTIVE AND 'UNIVERSITY REFORM.— Heywood, M.P., lectured at the Manchester Athenmum on Monday, on those subjects. He gave several anecdotes illustrative of the necessity for adnainistrative reform in this country, and praised the Americans for their anpoint tuent of public men independently of aristocratic influence. He gave the following Russian anecdote :—He knew for a fact that, some years ago, a large contract for iron was made by Sir John Guest with the late Emperor of Russia for 50,000 tons. Well, he had also heard a story in con nection with the contract, that whilst Sir John Guest received 61 per ton, the Emperor paid 9/ per ton, the inter mediate sum of 150,0001 going to the ministers of Russia. Mr. Heywood then referred to university reform, and read a memorial signed by himself .and other 3 and addressed to Prince Albert, as Ch ance ll or of the University of Cambridge, praying for reform of the university by the abolition of religious tests, compulsory celibacy of fellows, and other ancient restrictions. In reply, Prince Albert (through his secretary) stated that he did not possess, as Chancellor, any jurisdiction or authority separate from the governing body of the university, to whom he therefore had referred the memorial. BRANDY FROM COAL.—Brandy distilled from coal is one of the proposed applications of chemical science to sup port the wants of man, which is just now creating some sensation. Hitherto brandy has been made indifferently from potatoes, wine, beetroot, and other vegetable sources ; but from coal, villainous black mineral,!mira bile dicttc! The experiments of Berthelot, which demons trated the possibility of producing alcohol from common coal, have so seized upon the imagination of some French Yankees, that it is seriously proposed .to distil alcohol first from coal, and after dilution to give it the colour and taste of the best vin cognac. I have no doubt that the thing will be tried, for brandies have risen enormously. Possibly it may succeed, for Frenchmen are not only ingenious, patient, and persevering, but very enterprising. For the information, probably amu'ement, of your readers, I may state that the modus operandi is as follows: Coal gas is first distilled in the ordinary way, and con ducted into a receiver. It contains about eight per cent of hydrogenous bi-carbon in a gaseous:state, which is separated therefrom (rather a complicated affair), and introduced into a close vessel, containing sulphuric acid ; the vessel is agitated until the acid absorbs the gas. Water is then mixed with it, and the whole distilled for alcohol, which is brought over. Good news for the Lon donderrys and Lambtons, if the chemical experiment should prove capable of being applied to a manufacturing purpose. Our coati districts transformed into brandy producing countries, rivalling with Angouleme itself, will be one of the curiosities of the nineteenth century, although, probably, our children may find nothing unusual in asking for a drop of the best old Northumberland, or, a glass of Durham water, hot, with a slice of lemon, and not too much sugar.—Alining Journal. MURDER OF ABo y.—A few days ago the body of a lad, four years old, was discovered in the river Exe, near Starcross ; and the state in which it was found indicates too plainly that the deceased had come by his death by foul means. The face and head were enveloped in a black apron, which was Dinned tightly, and fastened by strings round the body. A coroner's inquest has been held, at which Dr. Pycroft, who had made a post-mortem exami nation of the body, gave it as his opinion that death was produced by violent means. A verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown" has been returned, and active steps are being taken to obtain a clue to the perpretator or perpretators of the murder THE ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AT CHURWELL nesday, an inquest was held at the Leeds Court-hotk before Mr, Blackburn, borough co G roner, on t h e b ody David Steel, who had died from a gunshot wound re ceived during a struggle which took place on Sunday morning last, on the premises of Messrs. Crowther and Co., woollen-cloth manufacturers, of Churwell, between a gang of thieves and a number of watchers. The evidence tendered on this occasion showed that after the thieves came out of the mill, two of the watchers, named Holroyd and Hirst. rushed forward, the latter calling out to the thieves, "If y ou don't stand, I'll fire!" ImmediatelY afterwards Holr o yd was knocked down, and then a shot was fired by th e thieves, apparentlyfrom a pistol. Hi rs t heard the' whiz of the shot-aitpssed close to hi m on his right sid e, and he immediately fired in the directi on o f the thieve s . The deceased then ran past him in the direction of the watchhouse, which communicates with the road, but fell near the door. lie lay there for a short time, until the other thieves had been secured after a very desperate struggle, when he was found in an exhausted state. lie was removed to the Leeds Infirmary, where he died on Tuesday morning. After a lengthened inquiry, the jury returned a verdict of "justifiable homicide." Richardson, one of the watchmen, who was seriously injured, is recovering. of which he has 7 0n_ Wed.

Having been detained on business in town on Wednesday until nine o'clock, and not having had any refresh ,nt, I called upon my friend, Mr. James Ilalderstone, of the Mitra Hotel. The defendant, Ellis, happened to b e there, and called for a b o ttl 3 o f wine, butdid not pay for it. My;attention was directed to the circumstance by Mr. Bal derston e ; and I was thereby induced to follow the defend ant, who had just left the premises. Instead, however, of explainin g his conduct, he most unexpectedly knCcked me down. I, therefore, gave him into custody; but, attribut ing in a great measure his unprovoked assault to the influence of intoxicating drinks, of which he had imbibed no small quantity, I did not wish to press the charge ; and, consequently, on arriving at the Vauxhall bridewell, I refused to book him. To my great surprise, however, the keeper and police having ascertained my name, and having an old grudge against me, decided according to the Lex Talionis, by locking both of us up !! ! Whether this was clnsistent with justice, and whether I was an offending party at all, the impartial public will learn from the decision of oar worthy ,stipendiary magistrate. This is a plain, brief, and unvarnished statementof the facts of the case. lam sorry that it should ever have occurred ; but it evinces with what kind of animus the police are actuated against me. —Yours, &c., 158, Mill-street, 18th J anuary, 1866 JAMES MuLuNs,. evening* THE Teur.—Among the Turf gossip of the day is, that Sir I► ; charti Sutton and one or two young noblemen are raising a:leviathan stud. s iu t expense of bringing sank of .
