BARNET GREAT CATTLE AND HORSE FAlR.—This ittl-
porta,nt and distinguished cattle fair, which is considered
the largest in England, and is held for three days, com-
menced on Tuesday and terminated on Thursday, much
to the satisfaction of a large class of salesmen and breeders
of stock. The demand from the opening to the finish
for the best store beasts of all breeds was exceedingly
active, the Devon Hereford, and shorthorned beasts
being selected, and, selling freely at 10/. to 151. and up-
wards. The horse fair was very attractive for carthorses
and colts. The best carthorses realised 55 to G 5 03111•48
each ; middle•size, 30 to 40 guineas ; two-year-old Lelia,
25 to 35 guineas ; three-years-old, 30 to 40 guineas.
GRAPES.—There are three different kinds of grapes in
the vineyards of Tokay—the Furment, the Haslevelii,
and the Feber-Szollo. It is from the Furment that the
Tokay wine is made. It was at first supposed that this
grape was a native of Italy, but it is positive that it be-
longs to the family called the mosler grape, which is
found throughout the whole of the Austrian monarchs,'
and particularly, under different names, in the vineyards
of Hungary. It is the Fliment which gives to the
Tokay its peculiar bouquet, but it more particalarlY
owes it to the soil,

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 18515.

Russia has had deep cause to deplore the
1' etzverneis" of Prince GORTSCITAKOFF at the
Vienna, Conferences. Under different circum-
stances the unscrupulous audacity displayed by
the diplomatist would have been highly applauded,

his contemptuous disregard of the terms pre

viodtly accepted as the bases of negotiation, re-
garded as an instance of unbending firmness, and
his attempt to advance the avowed object of his
Master, and to carry out the traditional policy of

Russia, by the opening of the Bosphorus, as ai
instance of extraordinary tact and judgment

But unfortunately, like many over-cunning people,
he defeated himself, and forfeited the chance cy

obtaining peace on far more favourable terms
than he had any right to anticipate. Having made
the German POwers safe—Prussia being au

avowed partisan, and Austria, although covertly,
equally at his " beck and call"—having also
bamboozled the representatives of the Western
Powers—he thought he had the game in his own
hands, and could carry matters with a high.
hand. But for once he " reckoned without his
host." The EMPEROR and people of France, and
a portion of the'English Cabinet, and an over-
whelming majority of all ranks and classes in the
United Kingdom, refused to permit themselves to
be stultified, or to become Muscovite tools. His
ingenious devices, therefore, recoiled against him-
self. Like SHAKSPERE'S Engineer, he was " hoist
with his own petard ;" and he succeeded in de-
feating any prospect of the restoration of peace,
save on terms far more onerous and distasteful to
Russia, than those which had previously been so
contumeliously rejected.
Since that time the CZAR has received many
bitter, but salutary lessons. He finds that,
notwithstanding all his exertions, he cannot drive
the Allied forces from their position before Sebas-
topol ; that his own army is already enduring
great privations, and that the "Russian supremacy
in the Black Sea" will ere long be terminated in a
far more decided manner than it could have been
by any stipulations ; that he is likely to lose not
merely his stronghold and fleet, but the Crimea
itself ; and that possibly, should the War be pro-
tracted for another year, he may have to deplore
something more than the destruction of stores and
the stoppage of commerce in the Gulf of Finland
and the Baltic. Like the " old maiden of fifty-
three," he at length recognises the melancholy
fact, that it would have been far better if he had
accepted some of the many propositions previously
rejected, and that evety delay only enhances the
difficulty of obtaining a satisfactory settlement.
Under these circumstances, it is said that new
and energetic efforts have been made to reopen
the negotiation,,, and that the intervention Of
Prussia and Austria for that purpose has been
eagerly sought for. This is not merely possible,
but exceedingly probable, and the precarious
health of FREDERICK WILLIAM renders it far more
likely that his good offices would be sought for,
while they might still be available. We can
. therefore easily credit the fact that Count
NESSELRODE has, as asserted by some of OUT
Continental contemporaries, forwarded despatches
to the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna, asking
that they should use their good offices for
the ptirpose of inducing the Western Powers to
re-open the abortive Conferences, with a view to
• the pacific solution of the difficulty. But it is
now too late." The Allies have been already
too greatly disgusted with Prussia, too grossly de-
ceived by Austria, to suffer themselves again to
be involved in diplomatic intrigues. Nay, more,
Austria is so well aware of the state of public
opinion in Prance and England, that she could
not join in that, which must necessarily prove an
abortive attempt,. and which would inevitably
place her in even a worse position than that
which she already occupies, bad as it is.
But this judicious abstention from pressing in-

admissible propositions cannot materially imi;reve
the feeling of the Western Powers towards Austria.
The assertions of Muscovite and German writers
to that effect are, therefore, clearly without any ade-
quate foundation. No reliance whatever can now
be placed on the promises and engagements of a
shamefully violated those
Power, Which has already
