peace.

The conditions of these are identical with the
Austrian propositions, which were the bases of
negotiation, and to which it has been thought
advisable to affix the signatures of the Powers,
parties to the negotiations.

This proceeding, however important and satis-
factory, leaves unsettled many questions which
will necessarily be the subject of immediate dis-
cussion, with a view to the framing of a definitive
treaty.

PARIS, Sunday, G p.m.—Without pretending to
know the details of what took place at the Con-
gress yesterday, I am aware that some important
points were discussed and agreed to ; in fact, the
Plenipotentiaries have made the first important
advance towards peace. I believe that certain
preliminaries were signed. In fact, the main pro-
tective demands of the allies appear to be accorded
by Russia. Whether the Emperor's speech to-mor-
row will refer tarthe progress of negotiations I know
not ; but the French Government, I presume, must
now have sufficient assurance to proclaim a
belief in pacific results. The Russian Envoys, it
would appear, up to the present moment have
shown a desire for peace in acts and deeds which
justifies us in supposing that they really approach
the Congress with a -sincere desire to close the war.
It remains only to be seen if they will bring for-
ward any suggestions, after the Allies have made
their full 41emauds, calculated to break up negotia-
tions. If I may venture an opinion, I do not think
they will do so. They are aware that Turkey never
will admit of any interference with her Greek
Church population, and as all the other ques-
tions are nearly settled touching Turkey, the
original objects of the war are obtained. In a
word, I think I can assure you for the first time
that wo are very near peace. If the integrity of
Turkey is secured satisfactorily, it is not likely that
any minor questions will demand the continuance of
the war. The very bast feeling appears to animate
the Plenipotentiaries towardseach other personally,
and it is sought to arrange difficulties as much as
ponible before cowing to the Congress table.
I presume the next meeting of the Plenipoten-
taries will take place on Tuesday next.
The Continental journals pretend to give the pro-
ceedings of the Congress ; but as I know them to
be incorrect, it is not worth while repeating their
speculations generally.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
closed very firmly, and. prices of all descriptions
Were quite as dear. The sales were estimated at
8,000 bales, comprising 5,000 American, 500 for
export and 500 nu speculation ; 250 Pernam and
Maranham, at 6d. to 41. ; 1.000 -Bahia (all on
speculation), at Gad. ; 300 Egyptian, at 6,1. to Bd. ;
1,000 Surat, at 4id. to 41d. ; and 50 Sea Islands,
at ls. to Is. 4d. per lb. The Railway Share
Market was quiet, at steady rates.
The advices from New York state that owing to
the favourable character of the last City Banks'
Return the market for Public Securiti( s had im-
proved. The stock of specie had increased
1,445;407 dols., but the loans and discounts were
augmented 1,057,238 dols.

Accounts from Chili mention that a new treaty
of amity, commerce, and navigation has been
formed between that country and the Unite
Estates.

Commercial advices from Havre state that trade
is remarkably brisk at that port. The demand for
'Cotton continues good, and the market is regularly
supplied ; prices are consequently without much
variation, but firm. The lowest qualities of New
Orleans are given at 82f. to 87f. per 50 kilos., and
very ordinary sorts realise 92f. The sales of all
kinds during the past week amounted to 13,152
bales ; the arrivals, 7,758 bales ; and the stock on
hand up to Feb. 29 was 70,011 bales. The quan-
tity arrived from the United States during the two
Months of the present year was 53,302 bales,
against 40,000 lastlyear. Wool was in demand ;
140 bales Buenos Ayres sold at If. 25c. to 2f. 15c.
Per kilo., and 26 Australian at 4f. 75c. to 6f. 25c.
per kilo. _ _

By telegraph from Batavia, by way of Trieste,
later advices have come to hand. The demand for
coffee in that market is greater than has been for
none time, and prices are rising. At the public
lialea 30,000 piculs were disposed of at an average
°f 301 florins (Dutch) per picul. The markets in
sugar were better supplied, and prices firm. At
Louravaya 10,000 piculs of No. 16 realised 150.,
11,000 piculs at 151f1., and 36,000 piculs 131 to
14fl- At Samarang 4,703 piculs averaged 15if1.,
and 10,000 at 151 Rice was falling in price, in
consequence of the supply exceeding the demand,
and Indigo was in request at 3651 per box.
The corn trade is heavy, and wheat is 4s. to Se.
Per quarter lower.

THE PEACE CONFERENCES.

Lc Nord of Brussels publishes the following
On the 25. th of Feb. an armistice of five week' was
decided upon in the first Conference, after a general ex-
.
:Amulet. oa of the principal questions to be solved. They
were all briefly touched upon to ascertain whether they
contained any serious difficulties of a nature to impede
the course of the negotiations. It was thus that they
found themselves agreed on the first four propositions.
When the question of the rectification of the frontiers on
th side of ,Bessarabia was mooted by Count Buol, Count
Orlyff observed that it was impossible to carry out the
new frontier they wished to establish between the sea
a ,d the mountains, because there are no mountains on
that side, but only plains.
"A 'ew words ware a so said respecting the fifth pro-
w.thout any dissent arising of a nature to canes
anxiety.
A committee, consisting of the French, English, and
Austrian Plenipotentiaries, is appointed to make a
dralght of the protocol, and to communicate the first,
bases of its task.
"There is every reason to believe that the negotia-
tions will proceed even mere rapidly than was expected;
the peace preliminaries might be signed by the end of
the week.
"During the three hours and a half which this first
meeting of the Conference lasted, everything passed over
calmly and courteously. When the meeting broke up
the Plenipotentiaries IS t roll e d for a few minutes in the
gardens of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, where they
formed into groups of friendly converse. At 5 o'clock
they returned to their embassies, whence they sent de-
spatches in cipher to their respective Governments."

THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAlLWAT.—Captain Wynn
has just made his report to the Government as to the
state of this railway between Norwich, Yarmouth, and
Lowestoft. From the report it appears that many of
the bridges on the line are in an advanced state of decay,
and the repairs which are being made are only calculated
to wake the structures temporarily safe,
_ . _
London, England, 1856-03-03

asserts tha t the term " stormy," which has been
used in r r.any quarters, is going too far. It
seems quits ) clear, however, that everything was
not quite s o favourable as had been anticipated,
and a morn dug contemporary declares that one of
the reprem atatives of England was about to pay
a hurried. -visit to London, in order to obtain
additional instructions from his Government.
It WOl Lid appear, however, that the meeting of
Saturday'. was of a more auspicious description.
The Post, usually well informed, says that the
preliminaries of peace were actually signed, but
that they were identical with the Austrian propo-
sitions, •which were the bases of negotiation. We
need notixplain that if so, it means nothing—
that the Fifth Point, on which disputes were
most likely to arise, could not even have been
ventilated—and that but little progress has really
been made towards the completion of the antici-
pated treaty. The only auguries, therefore, that
CAR be deduced are founded on the supposed atti-
tude of the Russian Plenipotentiaries ; and it is
unnecessary to warn our friends and the public
that but little reliance can be placed on such in-
dications, which may be manifested solely for the
purpose of creating, or attempting to create, diffi-
culties between the other parties—a matter
which, as we have repeatedly explained, Russia
would strain every nerve to accomplish.
It is a part of the Muscovite game to profess
unbounded confidence in the result of the Con-
ferences. At present all the thick-and-thin ad-
herents of the Czeh seem to have become peace-
at-any-price men. They have apparently adopted
the principles of Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, and might
assume standing collars and broad brims with
considerable effect. But such sudden conversions
are always suspicious, and, in place of being
grasped at with reckless baste, should excite
increased vigilance and caution on our part.
No allusion has been made to the all-important
topic of an indemnity. Nothing can be satisfac-
tory to the Allied Powers which does not comprise
this indispensable condition—a condition which
Russia would vigorously insist on if she could
put forward as strong claims, and which will alone
afford adequate security for the future peace and
tranquillity of Europe and the world.
From what can be gathered from the various
rumours, it would seem that Lord CLARENDON
has hitherto been " firm." We only hope that
that he may continue so to the last, and stead-
fastly resist all the sinister influences, German or
Belgian, that may be brought to bear during the
continuance of the arduous task entrusted to his
charge. If he be so, he will achieve a high posi-
tion among English statesmen, second to none of
his predecessors. If otherwise, even the fall of
Lord JOAN RUSSELL will be less deplorable than
tat of the diplbmatist to whom England now
looks up with trust and confidence.

THE SUN. LO.N DON, MONDAY EvE t4l A. M R u
__ 3 r, 6.

twelve o'clock, and constituents interested in the
question to apprise their representatives of their
wishes.

The discussions respecting the important ques-
tion of the Royal Prerogative as to the creation
of Life Peerages is likely to lead to very impor-
tant results. One serious evil has already been
grappled with, and there is reason to hope that a
very valuable reform will be accomplished, so far
as the appellate jurisdiction of the Upper House
is concerned. It was the notorious and palpable
defects of the Supreme Court of Appeal that led
to the attempt which, if successful, would have
completely altered the character of what could no
longer be termed the hereditary branch of the
Legislature, and many of these are now likely to
be removed by the very men who previously
stuck by them with unflinching pertinacity.
The hearing of an appeal by the Lords was
virtually a legal fiction. The duties were prac-
tically delegated to a small standing committee,
composed of Peers, who had filled or were filling
high judicial offices. It would have been thought
a most extraordinary proceeding on the part of
any lay lord to vote on a purely legal question,
and when such was the acknowledged state of
affairs, why should there be any stickling for the
" shado'? of authority, where the substance had
long since been voluntarily abandoned. The
universally recognised evil led to the attempt at
a remedy, which might have been far worse
than the disease. It was the " hereditary"
character of the House that prevented the
Crown from exercising its prerogative on many
occasions so as completely to overthrow its
boasted independence. We desire that the
independence should be established and pfaced on
a firm basis, so that the deliberations and deci-
sions of their Lordships should carry with them
a weight and authority which they scarcely
possess at this moment. This can only be accom-
plished by a comprehensive measure of Peerage
Reform, and any suggestion for that purpose
would come far snore gracefully from the parties
themselves, than from any other branch of the
Legislature.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.
CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, Feb. 16.—The nio,t impor-
tant incident in camp since the departure of the
last mail has been the arrival of General Sir Colin
Campbell. He came from Constantinople, in the
Earl of Aberdeen steamer, on Wednesday, the 13th
inst., accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Ster-
ling, who, from being Assistant Adjutant-Gene.
ral of the Highland Division, is to hold the same
position in the new corps d'armee which Sir Colin
is to have under his command. The general is stay-
ing, for the present, with the Commander-in-Chief,
at head-quarters. Nothing certain has yet been
promulgated respecting the divisions to form the
corps de armee, but it is understood that the Light,
Fourth, and Highland Divisions will compose this
force, the selection having been determined by the
relative standing in seniority of the generals com-
manding.

There is scarcely anything going on in the camps
beyond the usual routine of drills and parades.
The health of the army continues excellent. The
amount of scurvy and fever in the French army
has attracted the attention of the authorities in
France, and various measures have been adopted to
arrest its increase.

The branch line of railway which runs towards
the hill known as Canroberes-hill, in the Balaklava
plain, has been opened, and the engines are now
at, work upon it. It is said that the whole of the
Crimean railway materials, including all the en-
gines, carriages, and stores, have been sold to a
company, who intend to transport them to the
neighbourhood of Heracles. 3 railway is to be
used in connection with the coal mines.
The expected execution of the soldier convicted
of Murder has not taken place. It is supposed that
General Codrington has referred the case of the
unhappy criminal fur decision to the house Govern-
ment ; and in the belief of many, as well from the
youth of the prisoner as from consideration of the
general good conduct of the army, and the stigma
which would attach, though undeservedly, to the
regiment to which the man happened to belong, a
commutation of the sentence of death is not un-
likely to take place.

The weather has been very variable during the
past week. The prevailing winds have been
blowing from the westward. A small amount of
rain has fallen. The temperature on the whole has
been mild, and in sheltered places in the valleys
several of the early bulbous plants may be now
seen in flower: The yellow crocus is conspicuous
in all directions.

Tne mail arrived early on the morning of the
14th instant. London newspapers of February 2
were received, only twelve days being thus occu-
pied in the transit. Newspaper. frotu Paris were
received, a 3 usual, a day later.

OPENING OF THE DANISH OFIA.MBERS.

COPENHAGEN, Saturday.—The Supreme Council
of the Realm was opened yesterday with great cere-
mony and splendour; the Prince Royal and the
whole Court accompanied the King.
In the Speech the King said
Ile rejoiced in the presence of men from all
parts of his kingdom, and hoped that meeting
would strengthen those bonds of union which pro-
tect the country against exteri©r dangers and in-
sure it, interior development. He thanked God for
the preservation of peace, and hoptl. continued pro-
tection from the horrors of war. No important
bills will bo introduced, because an extraordinary
session of the Council. was at hand."
The reasons for the acquittal of the Danish Mi-
nisters are thus stated :—The legality of the resolu-
tion relative to the armaments is not contested ;
the accusation of high treason being therefore un-
founded, the tribunal is not called on to decide on
the utility of the armaments.

which moved off slowly at Monday's currency. Very few
calves were in the market ; the veal trade was dull, yet
prices had an upward tendency. The top figure was 5s 4d
per Blbs. We had a fair demand for pigs, at full quota-

M&RKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Sinco Monday the receipts of English wheat, coastwise,
and by land carriage, have been only moderate. The show'
of samples in to-day's market was limited. The few se
lected qualities on offer sold steadily at full prices; but
other kinds ruled dull at late rates.

The imports of foreign wheat are 11,214 quarters. There
was no inclination shown by the millers to purchase
beyond present wants. In the quotations, however, no
change took place. Floating cargoes commanded full
prices.

Fine barley supported former terms; but inferior parcels
were dull, and the turn lower.

Malt changed hands to a fair extent at full quotations.
There was a moderate demand for oats, beans, peas, and
flour, at about Monday's prices.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENINV.
The Empress paid a visit yesterday, at the Hotel
du Louvre, to the Infanta Amalia, lately married
to Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, and whose state of
health has obliged her to prolong her stay at Paris.
A large crowd assembled before the hotel during
the visit, and greeted her Majesty with loud ac-
clamations.

An Imperial decree nominates General Count de
Goyon, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, to the com-
mand of the army of occupation at Rome, in the
room of General de Montreal, who is admitted to
the reserve. Other decrees make nins alterations
iu the commands in different military divisions
and subdivisions.

A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels)
says :—" The first list of Imperial invitations to
Compiegne will be composed of 70 names, includ-
ing those of two ministers, Count Walewski and 31.
Feull ; also the Duchess d'lstrie, the Marquis and
Marchioness de Candorre, Count and Countess de
Sclafani, Baron and Baroness do Hatzfeld, and
Baron de Hubner. This latter was at Vienne,
when the invitation reached him by telegrap b.
He replied by the same manner, that he should
return to Paris in time to. present himself at Corn'
piegne on the 20th. A special express train wilt
convey to the Imperial residence the persons 11:1;
vited. In the second list figure the names of Lord
Cowley, Prince Poniatowski, and other persons 01
importance."
