THE TIENNA CONFERENCE.

The following particulars of the course likely to be
followed were circulated in Paris:on Thursday. Count
de Buol will explain the state of the question, in a speech
setting forth the history of the diplomacy of the last
two years. He will then read the protocol of De-
cember 28, and the additional declarations exchanged
since by the parties to the treaty of December 2, to de.
termine the sense of the third guarantee required by them
from Russia. The intent of this prefatory reading will be
to lay down in an unmistakeable and irrevocable manner
the basis of negotiations for peace. Prince Gortschakoff
and M. de Titoff will be asked to give their formal ad-
hesion to the protocol and to affix their signatures to it.
Should they refuse, the conferences will be immediately
closed. In case their objections should merely relate to
secondary points, the representatives of the Allied
Powers will, if they think fit, defer to the objections on
their own responsibility, or will send them to their
Governments ad referendum. It is to be supposed that,
even in the case of the Conferences being declared
closed in principle, the Russian Plenipotentiaries
would be allowed a reasonable time to ask for fresh
instructions, so that every door for negotiation
may be left open up to Passion-week. If by that time
no understanding is come to, the Conferences will be
dissolved without loss of time, and arms alone will be
depended upon to effect a solution. Austria, whose
threats of declaring war upon Russia have so frequently
come to nothing, is now said to be firmly resolved to
throw away the scabbard should the Vienna Conferences
come to no result by the beginning of April.

and the prosecution was simply, whether the facts proved
the case to be one of murder or manslaughter. For tie;
prosecution it was relied upon, among other facts, that •
a man who lived next door to the Blessings, and who,
owing to the thinness of the partition, could hear very
slight noises upon the premises, heard blows on the
morning in question, but no words, or sound of voices,
or anything leading to the supposition that a quarrel or
struggle was taking place. The evidence of Mary Blest:
ing, a girl eleven years old, one of the prisoner's chil-
dren at home with her on the morning of the murder,
though adduced for the prosecution, tended to confirm
the statements made by the prisoner before the coroner's
jury. Mr. Deltaic)+, also, commented upon the faot that
the hammer bad not been concealed. It was laid upon
the table when the parties entered the house, tinged
with blood, and some of the grey hairs of the deceased
were adhering to it, inviting attention and. forming an
important piece of evidence against the prisoner. - If,
he urged, she had been guilty of deliberate murder, the
first thing she would have done would have been to
make away with the deadly weapon—that was the line
of conducted pursued by all murderers.

The jury retired for a quarter of an hour, and on re•
turning into court gave a verdict of guilty of man-
slaughter, and his lordship sentenced the prisoner to
transportation for life.
