illustrate the idea of the light of Heaven :shed upon the
labours of Merry, Peace, and Charity, in connection with
the glory of a nation. On the back of this royal jewel is
an inscription on a gold tablet, written by her Majesty,
which stamps upon it a value inappreciable, as recording
it to be a gift and testimonial in memory of services
ren,lered to her -brave army by Miss Nightingale.
The pwel is about three inches in depth by two and
a half in width. It is to be worn, not as a brooch or
ornament, hut rather as the badge of an order, the
most precious from the manner of its conferring_the
most t,ingular in the merit of its receiver—the most illus-
trious in honour that has yet issued !from the fountain of
all honours•—the Crown of England. We believe the
credit of the design is due to the illustrious consort of her
IMajesty, and we understand that it was manufactured by
Messrs. Garrard, the Crown jewellers.

cause of complaint may be investigated and removed. As
our messengers commence their delivery at five o'clock on

subscribers would have letter-boxes in their doors through
which the papers might be dropped, as the detention at
some houses is very great at present, and causes delay and

THE PENDING PEACE

Peace is so certain that -people now only talk about th
date of its official announcement. As it is not anticipated
that the sub-commission appointed to decide upon details
not of sufficient importance to occupy the attention of
Congress, will have very much left them to do, it is be-
lieved that very soon after Easter the world will be in-
formed that the war is at an end. Some fix it for the 27th•
The proclamation of peace, however, need not be delayed by
the proceedings of the sub-committee, and the great points
once agreed on, the treaty may be signed forthwith. The
Prussian plenipotentiaries have already presented them-
selves twice at the Conferences. They were courteously
received, and their conduct, it appears, has given no cause
for complaint. Their position must have been rather
awkward under all circumstances, but they comported
themselves with proper modesty, offered no opposition, and
suggested no difficulties, in thelway of an arrangement.
Russia, notwithstanding occasional fits of coyness, no
doubt to enhance the value of her favours, has ended by
conceding almost everything that was asked—neutralisa-
tion, Nicolaieff, Principalities, and territorial rectification ;
and one would suppose that at this moment her only
regret is that no further concession is asked of her Not-
withstanding the grace with which Count Orloff yields to
the Allies, there are occasionally some cutting allusions to
Austria—polished to be sure, but not the less keen. The
territorial concession was dangerous ground to touch on,
especially for Austria, and all the arts of M. Buol did not
prevent him from suggesting corrections in matters of
dip.omatic lore which were not to the taste of the
Russian Plenipotentiary. It was hinted that the expe-
rience of Russia was inferior to that of Austria, and
admitted with proud humility that so far as
practice went in matters relating to territorial
concessions, Russia has very little advantage indeed ;
her acquirements were all jon the other side. It
is not difficult to perceive that the government
he represents is hated or mistrusted by all. Prussia eyes
her askance, and Austria, in turn, regards her rival with
undiminished suspicion and dislike, and feels still uneasy
at the prospect of any thing like liberal institutions being
established in the Principalities. Peace will be made, no
doubt, but whether in the meaning of the mot attributed
to one of the Plenipotentiaries —une paix, et non la paix—.
time alone can tell. A rumour prevails that Prussia is
desirous of recovering the good graces of England, which
her conduct throughout the war had forfeited.— Obser

which has enabled several grain and flour laden vessels to

trade throughout this week. The questionable advance
made in the price of wheat at Mark-lane yesterday week has
induced buyers to pause in their operations, and we have a
very natural reaction. Prices have not declined to as low

ght,_ while the blazing fragments of

the air like rockets; the
ill-fated vessel teak fire;

•s it was the hour when

rai!Way and dock labourers were assembling 'for work, the
flames were speedily extinguished, and measures taken for the
relief of the wounded. It was found that one of the crew had
been killed on the spot. The mate of the Beitisli o,;‘,

Pandora, lying at No. 8 tip had been killed, while standing on
the deck, by a beam falling on his head ; the first mate of the
Prussian barque had been blown into the water• of the dock,
from whence be was rescued by the crew of a vessel lying
near ; the second mate had been blown through tho side of
the round house on his bed, and was found lying ol the quay
on his bed ; he was taken to the Infirmary, where it was found
that he had sustained a fracture of the pelvis. The remainder
of the crew were suffering from the effects of burnsand fraCtures,
and an engine was promptly brought on the adjacent branch of
the Taffe Vale Railway, some carriages were attached,
and eleven of the sufferers were conveyed to the infirmary,
where they were promptly attended, not only by the house

surgeon, but by nearly the whole of the madical men in the
town, who volunteered their assistance. One of the unfor-
tunate men died soon after, making the third death from this
sad occurrence. Six of the others are labouring under fractures
as well as burns, and one is in such a state that his death is
hotirly expected. The coal trimmer, Clod°, though in the
hold, escaped with some severe burns, and was removed to his
own home. Some idea of the force of the explosion may be
formed from the fact, that one of the anchors, weighing about
35cwt., was blown over the forestay, from fifteen to
eighteen feet high ; it then fell into a barge along-
side, which it sank. The coal tin was blown

nearly to pieces, and the railway was covered

pieces of wreck, the maintopmast was blown awa+•, and, in
fact, the vessel was blown to pieces ; not a vestige of the deck
remains, Her stern is blown out, and her stem also,while the
sides are completely shattered. She was quite a new vessel,
and this was her first voyage. She has sunk in about twelve
feet water. The windows of several houses in the Bute Dock
road were broken, and the report of the explosion was heard at
places fully three and four miles frson the town, as well as at
sea. In fact, it is the most terrible thing of the kind that has
ever occurred at Cardiff.

in formation'he _desired abant any portion of; the corpo•
ration property. He could, from his own knowledge,
confirm all that Mr. Alderman Holine.had said as to the
attention and knoWledge of their duties of the corporate
officers. (Hear, bear.)
Mr. 'Pieton observed that with the exception of the
Mayor he had had as much experience of the business
dope in the Town Hall as any other man in the
community, and he could,
therefore, bear willing testi-
loony to the acPuracy with which the various portions of
the corporate estate were described, and the registry
books kept. He had never applied for information about
it that he did not obtain it, and that without any delay
or 'difficulty. And so far as concerned Mr. Weightman
and Mr. Topping, he had never met in any-office or
place of business greater courtesy or more ready and
full information on the business- of their department
than from them.- (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Alderman Toulmin said that, as a solicitor of
thirty years' standing-, he could add his testimony
(laughter) to what had been said as to the admirable
manneriu which the public business was conducted
aTown
Hall.

Mr. Shell said that the council should congratulate
itself on having such an excellent body of officers ; but
he had observed that the corporation, and, indeed, all
other. public bodies, were invariably in that happy posi-
tion in regard to their servants. They had not only the
best possible servants, but they had, the men who could
by any possibility be alone found fit to perform the duties
which thy were required to discharge. (Laughter.) He
recollected when the predecessor of Mr. Topping was in.
office, and how; when they asked for any return, they
were told that they should feel happy in having such a
man—(laughter) —and that if he were by any chance
removed, it would be impossible to replace him. How
gratifying, then, was it for them to learn that day from
the Town Clerk that, fortunate as they were before,
and well as their affairs were managed, they were now
much more fortunate, because of their affairs being so
much the better managed. (Laughter.) They,
acted
very the
inconsistently,

were told by Mr. iloime that the inform.
atioa as to the corporate estate- could be at
fhthadatwere
ooneveng the
ascertained, i
return,
had not only incurred unnecessary expense, but had
thrown needless labour on that excellent man, the
surveyor. (Laughter.) Ile (Mr. Steil) could not
comprehend it. If they did not want the return, they
should not have ordered it ; if they required it, it should
have been long since supplied. (Hear, hear )'
