PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OP LORDS.—(his Day.)

Owing to the stirring events of the past year
connected with the war in which we are at present
engaged, and the probability of peace being con-
cluded sooner than was anticipated, the opening
of the present session of Parliament has been
eagerly looked forward to ; and an intense inte-
rest manifested by all classes of her Majesty's sub-
jects as to the future course to be adopted by
the Ministry in bringing to a termination the
present war, in the course of which, notwith-
standing the difficulties our troops have had to
contend with, they have shown that indomitable
courage and bravery in the field which have ever
attended the British arms, and by which they
have been so many times victorious in the present
war over numbers far exceeding their own.
The weather was very cold, and the sky much
overcast, occasional flakes of snow falling during
the earlier part of the morning, yet a large con-
course of persons had assembled along the line
of route from Buckingham Palace to the House
of Lord; to obtain a sight of her Majesty as she
proceeded to open the present eventful session,
and who greeted her with enthusiastic cheers of
loyalty and affection; but we regret to add that
his Royal Highness Prince Albert did not receive
so cordial a reception as he has received on former
occasions.

The attendance of Peeresses and ladies in the
magnificent chamber of the Legislature was greater
than on any former occasion within our recollec-
tion-----every available seat, whether in the body
of the house or in the galleries, being occupied.
The members of the corps diplomatique occupied
seats at the back of the Ecclesiastical bench. The
attendance of the,:respective Foreign Courts was
very large.

The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the wool-
sack at half-past one o'clock. Her Majesty entered
the House of Lords shortly after two o'clock, amidst
a flourish of trumpets and a salvo of artillery. The
house presented at this time a most brilliant and
animated appearance, owing to the beauty of the
ladies and the brilliancy of their attire, the colours
and rays of which were of every hue that the eye
can conceive of, and being most tastefully, almost
artistically, interspersed, had ,a most pleasing
effect.

Her Majesty having graciously requested the
assembly to be seated, commanded the fisher of
the Black Rod to summon. the members of the
House of Commons.

The Speaker, attired in his robes, shortly after
appeared at the bar of the house, attended by a
great number of members.

THE RUGELEY MURDERS.

Court of Queen's Bench—(This Day.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell,
Justices Coleridge, Wightman, and Crampton.)
THE QUEEN V. MR. PALMER-THE RUGELEY MURDERS.
Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins appeared on the
part of Mr. Dean, solicitor, in the prosecution in two of
the murders charged against the prisoner—that of his
wife and brother—to sh,,w cause against the issuing the
writ of certiorari obtained in the case on Tuesday last.
Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Scotland appeared for the
relatives of Mr. Cook, a!so to show cause against the
rale.

Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Gray supported the
rule.

Mr.;James, in the absence of the Attorney-General,
said that from a communication he had had from the
latter learned gentleman it was not his intention to
make any opposition to the issue of the writ if their
lordships thought it ought to issue, because it could not
be doubted that at Stafford and its neighbourhood gnat
excitement prevailed, and the Crown were of opinion it
would be safer both for the prosecution and the prisoner
that the trial should not take place at Stafford.
Mr. Huddleston opposed the issuing the rule, not, he
said, from any factious motives, but fr ,In the difficulties
which he said surrounded the application and the want
of jurisdiction of the Court, both of which he explained.
LordiCatnpbell said the question the court had to de-
termine was whether two certioraris should issue—one
to the coroner, to return the inquisitions, and another
to the assizes, to return to the court any indictments
that might be found. He was of opinion that in this
case the ends of justice required it should be done.
His lordship said he hoped that, pending the trial, no
further public discussion would take place on this case.
It was most improper to do so, and was much to be
deprecated, and if it could be proved that it was done
with an improper motive the parties so offending would
be liable to punishment.
Rule made absolute.

of Botanical Literature. The volume on " Popular

Garden Botany," by Agnes Catlow, should be in
the hands of every one who wishes to possess a
fair and accurate knowledge of floricultural pur-
suits without being compelled to wade through
dense details of complex theory ; and these pagas
cunt iin all the information necessary for those who
take interest and find amusement in " a garden."
The style is concise and simple, yet giving enough
of science to qualify its instructions. It treats of
most hardy and half-hardy flowers, and gives the
best method of producing and rearing them. The
twenty coloured plates illustrating the work are
alone worth the price.

" The Popular History of Palms," by Dr.
Berthold.Seeman, is also an admirable publication,
calculated to attract all classes of readers by the
masterly extent of its investigating research, and
the lucidity of its general tone. The warm ap-
proval of the work by such a man as Humboldt is
au incontestible guarantee of its excellence, and
we can only offer our word of praise as the spon-
taneous result of the delight with which we have
perused it.

" The Popular Geography of Plants," edited
by Dr. Charles Daubeny, forms a fitting com-
panion to the other volumes, and is of inesti-
mab!e value to those who would learn something
of the wondrous adaptations and arrangements of
Nature in her various characters of vegetation
throughout the world, and who would yet escape
being perplexed by the dry and technical method
pervading most works of the kind. The last-
named volumes aro illustrated by exquisite land-
scapes in chromo-lithography ; and setting aside
the intrinsic literary worth of these three publica-
tions, the pictorial beauty contained in them
ought to secure them a place on every drawing-
room table.

We cordially recommend them to all those who
love fields, trees, and flowers, especially as the
cost of the volumes is as low as the tone of their
contents is elevated.

THE CONFERENCES OF PARIS.

The Conferences of Paris will open as speedily as
possible. The protocol of Vienna, which records
the acceptance of the Austrian proposals by Russia,
and provides for the opening of the Conferences,
stipulates that they shall meet within three weeks
at latest from the signature,of the protocol. The
only delay which is likely to arise may be caused
by the shortness of the time thus allowed to the
special Tdrkish Envoy, who will have to travel the
long journey from Constantinople to Paris.—Post.

The Austrian Government, acting in the inte-
rest of Germany, will immediately lay the Ester;
Lazy propositions before the Frankfort Diet, and

propose their official recognition as preliminaries
of peace, with a view to obtain a representation
of Germany in the Congress.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 2

Baron Prokesch has notified to the Porte the
acceptance by Russia of the Austrian proposals.
On the 9th of this month the Russians ad-
vanced over the ice in order to attack Kertcb,

This Company has boon established for the purpose of in-
troducing railways into the Island of Ceylon. Surveys,
plans, and sections have been obtained, and the Company is
in a position to proceed at once with a line connecting Co-
lombo, the seat of Goverliment, and principal shipping port
of this Island, with the interior.

Such a line has been surveyed of about 70 miles, in length,
free from eirzineering difficulties, and the Board have the
most satisfactory evidence of a highly-remuncrative traffic.
All the preliminary expenses have been paid.
_ _

The Board, having been in communication with her Ma-
jesty's Government hero and in Ceylon, now entertain a con-
fident expectation of obtaining terms similar to those accorded
to the f everal Indian Railway Companies, the main feature of
which will bo _ _

A guaranteed interest upon the capital of 6 per cent.
secured as a first charge upon the revenues of Ceylon.
Shares are appropriated to the existing Proprietors. A re-
serve will be made for Ceylon, by the express desire of the
Local Government ; and for the remainder, applications wiH
now be received, addressed. Messrs. P. Cazenove & Co.,' 39,
Lothbury Messrs. Huggins and Rowsell, 14, Austin-friars,
or to the Secretary, at the Temporary Offices of the Company,
8, Austin-friars, from whom also forms of application and all
further information may be obtained.
Each application for Shares must be accompanied by a pay-
ment to the Bankers of the Company of V. per Share ou the
number of Shares applied for, and for which a voucher will
be given. In the event of less than the whole number ap-
plied for being allotted, the amount paid in excess will be
returned. Should no allotment be made to the applicant, the
money lodged with the Bankers will be forthwith returned,
free of charge.
On the final settlement of the terms with the Government,
a further sum of 21. per Share will be payable, making;with
the deposit, 31., and the necessary deed required to be
signed.
Should a satisfactory contract with tho Government of
Ceylon not be concluded, the deposits on the Shares allotted
will also be returned, without deduction.

A Bill to Incorporate the Company is before Parliament,
and will ha proceeded with in the present Session.

THE CONFERENCES-OP PARIS.

The Conferences of Paris will open as speedily as
possible. 'The protocol of Vienna, which records
the accepta ace of the Austrian proposals by Russia,
and providos for the opening of the Conferences,
stipulates that they shall meet within three weeks
at latest from the signature of the protocol. The
only delay which is likely to arise may be caused
by the shortness of the time thus allowed to the
special Turkish Envoy, who will have to travel the

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 20th, in the
Daats, says :—" Up to the present date none of
the journals of this capital have given either the
text of the propositions of peace drawn up by Aus-
tria or oven an analysis of them. In the meantime,
other journals certainly will not hesitate to publish
this communication, which exceeds the most pacific
hopes that had been entertained, and has caused
the greatest joy here, where no one anticipated the
possibility of so speedy a peace.. The dearness
of provisions and the distress, which every day
increases, udded to the exhaustion of the
finances, will have mainly contributed to the
resolution which has been come to. I have
already mentioned the last ukase relative to the
finances. According to that decree, the total
amount of the treasury bonds bearing interest in
circulation is now, 85 millions of silver roubles
(340 millions of francs), whereas, in 1843, it was
only 60 millions (240 millions of francs.) The
amount of paper money which does not bear inte-
rest cannot be so easily calculated. At the end of
1844 it amounted to 336 millions of roubles, and
is now calculated to amount to 400 millions. To
the above must be added the last loan of 50 mil-
lions. The winter season has not been very ani-
mated this year. There is almost always at every
ball some wounded officer from Sebastopol on leave,
who generally monopolises the attention of all pre-
sent. Prince Augustus of Wurtemberg has arrived
here from Berlin."

Australia, dates having been received from Melbourne
to the 2cl of November, or five days later than those by
the Champion of the Seas. The new discoveries of gold
quartz within 20 miles of Geelong are alleged to have
yielded 880 ounces of gold to the ton. The Shalimar
was to leave for Liverpool with the mail on the 9th of
