MR. EDWARD OLIVER'S CASE.

Letters from Berlin of the ith state that, according
to a despatch from Count Buol to M. Manteuffel, the
Conference has not laid down permanent conditions
of peace applicable to any circumstances that may
arise, but has only offered a precise sketch of the
preliminaries which Russia must accept in order to
the opening of negotiations.

The Cologne Gazette announces from Berlin that,
in their interpretation of the four points, the allies
do not demand the ruing of the forts of Sebastopol,
nor the reduction of the Russian fleet in the Black
Sea; the latter, however, is to be a subject of ulte-
rior discussion.

FRANKFORT. JAN. 8.
The news from Vienna has for the moment arrested
the active canvassing for votes on the question of
mobilising the federal contingents which the agents
of Austria and Prussia have been carrying on
amonqet the plenipotentiaries of the Diet. The
Austrian proposal for mobilising the troops was
formally made on Friday last.

The Journal di St. Poters6ourg states that in the
Best week of October Be!amyl assembled 20,000 mem,

would have been more likely to promote peace.
No doubt is entertained of Lord CLARENDON'S
resolute determination to uphold the honour of
Isis country and the interests of Europe; but he
‘llll do well to keep a bright look-out and •
dons bridle-hand upon some of his subordinate
essois. The danger to which Europe is exposed by
die 'ramping ambition of the Russian Government is
Ms great to admit of any conoession being made,
■erely to spare the self-love of the Muscovite
Wee. Any mortification he may have to
tedergo he has brought upon himself. The
peace and civilisation of Europe are too
important to be offered up u a sacrifice to
the vanity of one misprond man. " Material pe-
rorates!** must be exacted from the CZAR to ensure
his keeping the pesos towards all his neighbours for
the future. He cannot be allowed to retain that
stronghold, from which one step may at any moment
place him u muter in Constantinople. It has been
customary on the part of Russia to make defeated
enemies contribute to defray the expense of war
before it would grant a peace ; its own practice might
on the present occasion be advantageously turned
against itself.
What is meant by these suggestions is to urge
upon the Western Powers the necessity of sternly
land inflexibly executing justice on the Czar. It is
neither wished nor expected that they should allow

PAntoTic FtrYip.—The Earl of Elgin has brought
with him the Canada subscription—twenty thousand pounds
sterling—to the fund for the relief of the widows and or-
phans of the soldiers who hams been killed in the present
war with Russia. This sum was raised in equal proportions
from the French and English population of Canada—ten
thousand pounds from each.
INCREASED SALARY TO COUNTY COURT JUDGES.—
By an seder of the government, 15 of the 60 County Court
Judges have been selected to receive a salary of 1,5001.
a year each. Under a recent act of parliament the maximum
salary to be paid to the County Court Judges was 1,5001.,
and the minimum 1,2001. The labour of all the judges has
been considered by the government, and the result is, that
the maximum salary is to be awarded to 16 out of the whole
number. The judges are precluded by a provision from
practising at the bar. It Is understood that the metropolitan
judges have been included in the highest amount of salary
to be paid. In some of the districts the muses entered have
annually imeeeded 10,000 in each. The County Conti
