Lilt CRIMEAN COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.—Lord PANMULE
—My lords, I think it my duty to inform you that her Ma-
jesty, by the advice of her ministers, has appointed a board of
general officers to inquire into the matters adverted to in the
report of the commissioners who were sent to the Crimea to
make certain inquiries. This board is to receive explanations
on the subject of complaints made by officers who have been
adverted to in that report, and to inquire into all the circum-
stances connected therewith.—The Earl of HARDWICRE
thought the step should have been taken by the Commander-
in-Chief of the army long ago. The officers whose conduct had
been impugned by the report had been placed in a very diffi-
cult position, and had been obliged to redress their grievances
themselves in the public prints—a course likely to be danger-
ous to the discipline of the army and to the public service.—
Lord PANMITRE said the full report was only received on
the 22nd of January : previous to that date the Government
was not in possession of information on which it could act. A
first report was received in June last, but it was a bald and
meagre statement, referring only to one department not under
the control of the Commander-in-Chief, and unaccompanied by
any evidence whatever. Now, certain officers found themselves
blamed by the report ; and a board of general officers uncon-
nected with affairs in the Crimea had been appointed to inquire
into the matters alleged, and to hear the defence of these
officers.—After some further remarks, the conversation dropped.

THE PEACE CONFERENCES.

The Tinges' Paris correspondent, referring to the con-
ferences, says,—" We ought to be able to give a fair guess,
after the first eight or ten days' sitting, as to the result. The
number of times of meeting in the week is not fixed. It may
be three or four times, or oftener, and three or more days may
elapse between two sittings ; but this will depend a good deal
on circumstances."

The same correspondent writes,—" I have learnt from two
excellent sources, that Prussia has now at least a chance, I may
say a certainty, of taking a part, though not immediately, in
the Congress. She positively declares that she has decided on
accepting the principles and obligations of Austria in the
Eastern question, and she awaits the moment for Austria to
facilitate her admission to the conferences, a privilege which
Austria has pledged herself to obtain for her."
The same writer says,—" I have long ago expressed an ap-
prehension that the object of the conferences was likely to be
seriously interfered with, if not imperilled, by the indiscreet
songs of triumph chaunted by the Paris press ; and, if Russia
shows herself obstinate, I have the moral certainty that it is
traceable from this cause, I also fear that the point respect-
ing Nicholaieff will have to be discussed, the report of its
renunciation by Russia being premature.
• The Times' correspondent writes, with reference to the
affair between the Siecle, Constitutionnel, and Moniteur,
that there was no resignation or intimation of such on the
part of any of the ministers.
The Post's correspondent states, that a report of the pro-
ceedings of congress will be delivered to theEmperof each day.

(From the Express.)
PARIS, Monday.

The Conferences opened at 10 o'clock this day, all the
Plenipotentiaries being present. The latter arrived at the
place of the sitting without formality, and in their ordinary
dress. The representative of Piedmont was the first, and
the representative of Russia the last to arrive. Comparatively
few persons had arrived to see them enter.

The Count Buol is the bearer of an Austrian order of the
" Star Cross," from the Emperor Francis Joseph to the
Empress Eugenie. This decoration is only worn by ladies of
imperial or royal descent.

M:ILNERS' HOLDFAST AND FIRE-
RESISTING SAFES.

Improved under the experienced and extensive "Working of
MILNERS' QUADRUPLE PATENTS,
SEALED 1840, 1851, 1854, AND 1855.

The Strongest, Best, and Cheapest Safeguards in the world
against Fire, Robbery, or Violence. With Milners' recently
double) Patented "Gunpowder-proof Solid Lock and Safe Door,
without which no Safe in the hands of the Public is secure.

NOTE.—AII Milner's Holdfast Safes in use may be made com-
plete with these" Improvements," and every information afforded
on application as below.
The attention of the Public is invited to the following Experi-
ments (see Liverpool Mercury and Standard of following dates :)
" Liverpool, December Bth, 1554.
_ _

" We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very
highly satisfactory experiments at Milners' Plicenix Safe Works,
proving the perfect security of their newly-patented ' Gunpowder-
proof Solid Locks and Safe Doors,' against attempts to force the
same open with gunpowder; the door of ar.other safe, experi-
mented upon, fitted with the open six-lever and detector lock.
although of equal strength, being shattered and blown off by the
explosion of the gunpowder introduced through the key-hole.—

MILNERS' PWENIX (212') SAFEWORKS, LIVERPOOL.

The most extensive and complete in the world, employing from
two to three hundred hands, assisted by powerful, original, and
elaborate machinery and implements, adapted for every branch
of the work; established for carrying out the important improve-
ments under Milners' Quadruple Patents to the interior and ex-
terior of their Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safes, and for supply-
ing to the public the Strongest Safeguards against Fire, Robbery,
or Violence extant, at the lowest prices consistent with the most
perfect efficiency and security.
CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities—
the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three
Lists, namely, Milners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No.
2, at 10s. per foot; Milners' Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting
Safe, List No. 3, at 155. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong
Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 20s. per foot. The
public are deceived by comparisons being made between the
prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior
articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon-
gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi-
lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear
at any price. What greater delusion than an unsafe Safe?

THE WAR.

THE ARMISTICE.
The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says : " We
can announce with certainty that at the sitting of the Con-
gress held yesterday (Monday), an armistice was signed by
the representatives of the Powers. The armistice is to be in
force until the 31st of March, and to apply only to:the land
forces. The Congress will meet again on Wednesday, and
proceed to consider the question of preliminaries."

STANDARD-OFFICE, FEB. 26, Two P.M.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tras DAY.
During the past week we have imported 8,436 quarters of
Wheat, principally from Egypt, with 3,880 sacks of Flour
from Spain, and 1,246 from Ireland. The arrivals of Oats and
Oatmeal are large, amounting to 7,493 quarters of the former,
and 10,883 loads of the latter. The imports of Indian Corn
are only 928 quarters, against 9,430 quarters exported to
Ireland. American advices report a quiet trade in Wheat
and Flour, with a slight decline in prices. Very little busi-
ness had been done for export, and shipments were conse-
quently limited.
The country markets held at the close of the week are gene-
rally reported steady without material change in the value of
Wheat, farmers appearing disposed to meet the wants of
millers freely at present prices. At Mark-lane yesterday the
trade assumed a more subdued tone, apparently influenced
somewhat by the expectation of an early and favourable con-
clusion of the peace negotiations now in progress. Holders,
however, do not appear inclined to make any further conces-
sion in anticipation of this event, being generally of the
opinion that prices have already receded to a point which will
require to be maintained in order to save the supplies of grain
produce necessary to meet our wants up to next harvest, even
including what may be procured from those ports that will be
opened to us by a speedy return of peace. Here we have only
had a retail trade passing in Wheat and Flour, while Indian
Corn has been held stiffly at the full advance of Friday.
There was a very dull market to-day, indeed so little busi-
ness was doing, that it is difficult to make quotations. Wheat
and Flour may be considered the tarn in favour of the buyer.
Indian Corn was not easy of sale. Oatmeal also dull. Other
articles without animation, and no alteration in value to
notice.

MILNERS' HOLDFAST AND FIRE-
RESISTING SAFES.

Improved under the experienced and extensive Working of
MILNERS' QUADRUPLE PATENTS,
SEALED 1840, 1851, 1854, AND 1855.

The Strongest, Best, and Cheapest Safeguards in the world
against Fire, Robbery, or Violence. With Milners' recently
double) Patented "Gunpowder-proof Solid Lock and Safe Door,
without which no Safe in the hands of the Public is secure.
NOTE. —All Milner's Holdfast Safes in use may be made com-
plete with these" Improvements," and every information afforded
on application as below.
The attention of the Public is invited to the following Experi-
ments (see Liverpool Mercury and Standard of following dates :)
" Liverpool, December Bth, 1854.

- .
" We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very
highly satisfactory experiments at Mitners Phcenix Safe Works,
proving the perfect security of their newly-patented ' Gunpowder-
proof Solid Locks and Safe Doors,' against attempts to force the
same open with gunpowder ; the door of stoner safe, experi-
mented upon, fitted with the open six-lever and detector lock,
although of equal strength, being shattered and blown off by the
explosion of the gunpowder introduced through the key-bole.--
Wm. Brown, M.P. ; Joseph Boult ; William Rishton, Surveyor;
Henry Hulme ; Joseph It. Beck; James Johnson, Deputy Chair-
man of the Watch Committee; James Robertson, Ditto; J. J.
Greig, Head-Constable; Robert Clough, In-door Superintendents
Benjamin Ride,Divisional-Superintendent ; Thomas Quick, Ditto;
Joseph Bates, Detective-Inspector; Robert P. Thacker; John
Willox; and Samuel Moiser."

MILNERS' PHCENIX (212°) SAFEWORKS, LIVERPOOL.

The most extensive and complete in the world, employing from
two to three hundred hands, assisted by powerful, original, and
elaborate machinery and implements, adapted for every branch
of the work; established for carrying out the important improve-
ments under Milners' Quadruple Patents to the interior and ex-
terior of their Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safes, and for supply-
ing to the public the Strongest Safeguards against Fire, Robbery,
or Violence extant, at the lowest prices consistent with the most
perfect efficiency and security.
CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities—
the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three
Lists, namely, Milners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No.
2, at 10s. per foot; Mailers' Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting
Safe, List No. 3, at 158. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong
Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 20s. per foot. The
public are deceived by comparisons being made between the
prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior
articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon-
gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi-
lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear
at any price. What greater delusion than an unsafe Safe? •

TO GAS CONSUMERS.

UEPATENTGAS R E G U L A T 0 R
1 insures a saving of Twenty-five per Cent. upon former consumption, while at the same time a more brilliant light is obtained,
and the upleasant effects upon respiration, gilding, colours, &c., resulting from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect
combustion, avoded. .
Gas is generally delivered from tl4 Street Mains at a pressure of 11 inch of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments have
demonstrated that, when of good quality, it is most economically burnt at a pressure of 4-10ths of an inch.
The PATENT' REGULATOR, when once adjusted, continues to furnish Gas at one uniform pressure, unaltered by tlie constant
fluctuations of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent of the number of bunters it supplies.
At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental-room is fitted up to demonstrate the results as above stated.

THE PEACE CONFERENCES.

The Times' Paris correspondent, referring to the con-
ferences, says,—" We ought to be able to give a fair guess,
after the first eight or ten days' sitting, as to the result. The
number of times of meeting in the week is not fixed. It may
be three or four times, or oftener, and three or more days may
elapse between two sittings ; but this will depend a good deal
on circumstances."

The same correspondent writes,—" I have learnt from two
excellent sources, that Prussia has now at least a chance, I may
say a certainty, of taking a part, though not immediately, in
the Congress. She positively declares that she has decided on
accepting the principles and obligations of Austria in the
Eastern question, and she awaits the moment for Austria to
facilitate her admission to the conferences, a privilege which
Austria has pledged herself to obtain for her."
The same writer says,—" I have long ago expressed an ap-
prehension that the object of the conferences was likely to be
seriously interfered with, if not imperilled, by the indiscreet
songs of triumph chaunted by the Paris press; and, if Russia
shows herself obstinate, I have the moral certainty that. it is
traceable from this cause, I also fear that the point respect-
ing Nicholaieff will have to be discussed, the report of its
renunciation by Russia being premature.
The Times' correspondent writes, with reference to the
affair between the Sleek, Constitutionnel, and Moniteur,
that there was no resignation or intimation of such on the
part of any of the ministers.
The Post's correspondent states, that a report of the pro-
ceedings of congress will be delivered to the Emperor each day.

(From the Express.)
PARIS, Monday.

The Conferences opened at 10 o'clock this day, all the
Plenipotentiaries being present. The latter arrived at the
place of the sitting without formality, and in their ordinary
dress. The representative of Piedmont was the first, and
the representative of Russia the last to arrive. Comparatively
few persons had arrived to see them enter.

The Count. Buol is the bearer of an Austrian order of the
" Star Cross," from the Emperor Francis Joseph to the
Empress Eugenie. This decoration is only worn by ladies of
imperial or royal descent.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1856-02-26

THE CRIMEA.

Crimea letters to the 12th inclusive have arrived ; they con-
tain little news of importance. Two Englishmen were killed
by a Russian shell when Fort St. Nicholas was blown up.
The Morning Herald's correspondent anticipates a little
serious fighting on the Tchernaya, near Traktir, the French
expecting the Russians to make a strong sortie in that
direction.

The health of the English army was most excellent. Not a
single case of cholera existed.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

MONDAY.

Their Lordships met at 5 o'clock.

Lord LINDIII;RST gave notice that, in a few days, he would
call attention to the state of the judicature of the house, with
the view of applying a suitable remedy. (Hear, hear.)
Lord REDESDALE brought up the report of the Committee
of Privileges on the Wensleydale Peerage, and moved its
reception.
Earl GRANVILLE intimated that Government would not
go to a division. He said Loyd Wensleydale would not at-
tempt to .take his seat until the subject had been fully
considered.

The Earl of DERRY gave notice that in case Lord Lynd-
hurst should not bring forward his motion, he (the Earl of
Derby) would, on Thursday, move for the appointment of a
Select Committee to consider what improvement could be
made in the Appellate Jurisdiction of the house.
_ _ .

••••••• • •
Lord CAMPBELL declared that Lord Wensleydale could not
take his seat.
After some observations from Lord ItEDESDALE, the re-
port was received, the members of the government and Earl
Grey declaring themselves not content.
