TICKETS OF LEAVE.

Mr. WYSE gave notice that on Monday next he
should put a question to her Majesty's Government
relative to tickets of leave.

HARBOUR OF REFUGE IN CARDIGAN BAY.
Mr. L. DAVIES gave notice that, on Tuesday, the
12th instant, he would submit to the house a motion for
the appointment of a committee to inquire into the ex-
pediency and practicability of constructing on the most
advantageous part of Cardigan Bay a harbour of refuge,
to afford protection against the injury to commerce,
and to avert the harrowing scenes attendant on the
frequent shipwrecks which occur in St. George's Chan-
nel ; which harbour may be constructed also to serve
as one of defence against invasion ; and that the said
committee be at liberty to receive evidence as to the
feasibility of employing the convicts of this country
on that work, making their employment remunerative
to the country, beneficial to themselves, and at the same
time preserving our social condition, the security of
which at present is so affected by the return to it of the
ticket-of-leade men.

CHURCH RATES.
Mr. PACKE gave notice of his intention to bring in
a bill to abolish Church Rates.
Mr. M'GUIRE gave notice that on Monday next
he should ask a question of her Majesty's Government

MINISTERS' MONEY.

Mr. L. KING asked her Majesty's Ministers what
steps had been taken by them to carry out the resolu-
tion of that house on the 19th day of June last, that a
bill declaring what statutes had been repealed, expressly
or virtually, and what had become obsolete or unneces-
sary in the present state of society, ought to be forth-
with prepared.
Lord I'ILMER,SrO.N—The best consideration had
been given to the subject, and if the hon. member
thought fit to bring in a bill on the subject, the utmost
facility would be given to him by the Government.

THE GUARDS' MEMORIAL.
Viscount GODERICH asked the Under Secretary
of State for War whether the attention of the Secretary
for War bad been directed to a memorial lately ad-
dressed by the colonels of the respective regiments of
Foot Guards to her Majesty the Queen and
whether it was the intention of the Goverament, in
consequence of the representations of that memorial, to
make any alteration in the warrant regulatinc, prorao-
tion and retirement in the army, dated the 6th day of
October, 1854.
Mr. F. PEEL said the memorial had received the
best attention of the Secretary of State, and he was able
to say that there was no prospect of any alteration being
made in the warrant of last year in consequence of that
memorial.

TENANTS COMPENSATION (IRELAND).

Mr. V. SCI7LLY asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury what were the precise intentions of her Majesty's
Ministers with regard to the Tenants' Compensation
(Ireland) Bill ; and whether it was intended to intro-
duce it now as a Government measure, and pass it
through its several stages early in the present session.
Lord PA.LMERSTON said last session a bill had been
brought in with respect to this subject, and difficulties
had been met with in quarters the least expected. The
encouragement the Government received last year was
not such as to induce the Government to propose or
take charge of any bill in the present session.

SIGNATURE. OP THE PROTOCOL.

VIENNA, FEB, 1.

To-day, at noon, a protocol, recording the ac-
ceptance of the Austrian proposals as a basis of
peace, was signed at Vienna by the Ministers of
Russia, France, England, Austria, and Turkey.
Accounts from St. Petersburg state that the
hopes of peace have caused merchants to purchase
largely for exportation.

THE PEACE PRELIMINARIES.
PARIS, SATURDAY, FEB. 2, 8 A.M.

The Moniteur announces that as the adhesion
of Russia to the five propositions presented by
Austria, with the consent of France and England,
will serve as peace preliminaries, Russia proposed
the signing of a protocol at Vienna, to enregister
the adhesion of the contracting Courts, and to de-
clare that the Plenipotentiaries shall meet within
three weeks for signing the preliminaries for the
conclusion of an armistice, and for the opening of
general negotiations,
The English Government had selected Paris
for the seat of the Conferences. Austria has
consented to this choice.

The Moniteur adds that the protocol, enre-
gistering the acceptance of all the parties, was
signed yesterday at noon, at Vienna, and it was
decided that the Plenipotentiaries of the Powers
which are to take part in the negotiations shall be
at Paris before the 20th of February.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

LLANELLY.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Thursday at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. Biddulph in
the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the
earnings in the six months ending the 31st of December
last amounted to 8,9121. and the expenses to 5,920/.,
leaving a surplus of 2,992/. After the payment of the in-
terest on debentures, 7361., there remained a not profit

cable to dividends amounted to 3,6401., of which the

the
original shares. The works on the Llandilo extension
have been proceeded with in a satisfactory manner,
though not so rapidly as bad been expected.
d,ievriedeon74sBl.,
leaving
The report of Mr. Samuel, the engineer, stated that if
the present rate of progress in relaying the main line be
maintained the whole will be completed by midsummer.
Some unforeseen difficulties in obtaining possession of a
portion of the land will delay the opening of the
Llandilo extension till mi ]summer. He had every rea-
son to believe that the Vale of Towy Railway would be
ready for opening simultaneously with the Llandilo ex-
tension. The capital account showed that 260,988/. had
been received, and 257,2571. expended, leaving a balance
of 3,7311.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was
adopted, and a dividend of 1/. per share declared on the
old shares. The retiring directors, Messrs. Biddulph,
Butts, and Christie, were re-elected.
It was stated tnat the owners of the anthracite coal on
the line preferred a small trade and very high prices to a
large trade and moderate prices. Overtures had been
made from the Vale of Towy Railway Company to lease
it to the Llanelly Company. Several shareholders ob-
jected to leasing the line in the present condition of the
company, although it might eventually be advantageous
to do so, on the ground that improvident leases had
seriously injured many railway companies.
Mr. SAMUEL, C.E., said that might be true in respect
of lines that lied cost 30,000/. per mile and upwards,
but when it was considered that the Vale of Towy line
..vould not cost 5,00/. per mile the advantages were
apparent, as it would extend their line to Llandovery.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.

Sind sympathy of the country with such noble devotion on
the part of the army.
Mr. ROEBUCK said the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr.
Bentinck) had been pleased to direct his attention to him.
He (Mr. Roebuck) would remind him of a Scotch proverb,
which was to the effect that " his bark is far waur than his
bite." The hon. gentleman began by stating that he (Mr.
Roebuck) had said that England of herself was unable to cope
with Russia. It seemed to him that the hen. gentleman was
too much occupied with his own speech to attend to his (Mr.
Roebuck's); for he thought it was one of the most salient
points of what he had said to aver the contrary of that which
the hon. gentleman had attributed to him. He had said that
at all times, and more especially at this time, was England
able to cope by herself with Russia ; and in proof of that, he
had adduced the case of the Great Napoleon, under whose
conquering legions the earth trembled as they trod, and whose
armies extended from Italy to the Neimen—with him even
we were able to cope single-handed, and conquered him, and
should it be said that we could not cope with Russia ?
The report on the Address was then agreed to.

though not so rapidly as had been expected.
The report of Mr. Samuel, the engineer, stated that if
the present rate of progress in relaying the main line be
maintained the whole will be completed by midsummer.
Some unforeseen difficulties in obtaining possession of a
portion of the land will delay the opening of the
Llandilo extension till rnilsumnier. He had every rea-
son to believe that the Vale of Towy Railway would be
ready for opening simultaneously with the Llandilo ex-
tension. The capital account showed that 260,988/• had
been received, and 257,2571. expended, leaving a balance
of 3,7311.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was
adopted, and a dividend of 11. per share declared on the
old scares. The retiring directors, Messrs. Biddnlph,
Butts, and Christie, were re-elected.
It was stated tnat the owners of the anthracite coal on
the lino preferred a small trade and very high prices to a,
large trade and moderate prices. Overtures had been
made from the Vale of Towy Railway Company to lease
it to the Llanelly Company. Several shareholders ob-
jected to leasing the line in the present condition of the
company, although it might eventually be advantageous
to do so, on the ground that improvident leases had
seriously
injured many railway companies.
Mr. SAMUEL, C. 8., said that might be true in respect
of lines that had cost 20,000/. per mile and upwards,
but when it was considered that the Vale of Towy line
would not cost 5,0001. per mile the advantages were
apparent, Rs it would extend their line to Llandovery,
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro.
ceedings.

SIGNATURE OP THE PROTOCOL,

VIENNA, FEB. 1

To-day, at noon, a protocol, recording the ac-
ceptance of the Austrian proposals as a basis of
peace, was signed at Vienna by the Ministers of
Russia, France, England, Austria, and Turkey.
Accounts from St. Petersburg state that the
hopes of peace have caused merchants to purchase
largely for exportation.

THE PEACE PRELIMINARIES.
PARIS, SATURDAY, FEB. 2, 8 A. 31,

The Moniteur announces that as the adhesion

of Russia to the five propositions presented by
Austria, with the consent of France and England,
will serve as peace preliminaries, Russia proposed
the signing of a protocol at Vienna, to enregister
the adhesion of the contracting Courts, and to de-
clare that the Plenipotentiaries shall meet within
three weeks for signing the preliminaries for the
conclusion of an armistice, and for the opening of
general negotiations.

The English Government had selected Paris
for the seat of the Conferences. Austria has
consented to this choice.

The Moniteur adds that the protocol, enre-
gistering the acceptance of all the parties, was
signed yesterday at noon, at Vienna, and it was
decided that the Plenipotentiaries of the Powers
which are to take part in the negotiations shall be
at Paris before the 20th of February.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY EYRNING.
The following is from the letter of the Times
Paris correspondent, dated Friday, 6 p.m. :
I have to correct, or rather to add, to a passage
in my letter of Wednesday, with reference to the
conditions on which M. Nesselrode declared in his
despatch to Prince Gortschakoff, which reached
Vienna on the 23d, that he accepted "purely and
simply" the Austrian propositions. I mentioned
that Russia required that no territorial concession
should be exacted from her beyond the rectifica-
tion already noticed ; that she should not be re-
quired to pay the expenses of the war, and that
in return she would undertake not to reconstruct
the fortress of Bomarsund. The conditions to her
acceptance of the ultimatum were not, it seems,
confined to the above. M. do Nesselrode required
that the protocol should be signed at Vienna; that
two of her Plenipotentiaries should be present at
tho Conferences in Paris, When the preliminaries
should be signed ; that directly the preliminaries
were signeda general armisticeshould boproclainiod,
and that the general conditions of definitive peace
should be afterwards discussed and signed at Paris.
These points, I believe, the English and French
Ambassadors thought it necessary to refer to their
respective Governments.
M. Walewski, as minister for Foreign Affairs of
the country in whose capital the conferences are to
be held, will preside on the occasion. The Pleni-
potentiaries are expected in Paris on the 20th.
Row long the conferences will last is not stated
with any degree of certainty, but in official quar-
ters it is believed that the whole business will
occupy at least six weeks.
Some surprise has been expressed at the delay in
signing the protocol. It was reported some few
days ago that the signatures had been already -hied.
Shia ..is not , the ease ; but I am taeured that this ,

preliminary formality would take place to-day, and
indeed, that at the moment I write, it may be con-
sidered as a fait accompli. The names of the Ple-
nipotentiaries I have already communicated, and
they remain the same as when I wrote. Of the
Ottoman Plenipotentiaryl can say nothing, as up
to last night the Turkish Ambassador did not
know whom his Government had selected. M. de
Nesselrode was most desirous of representing Rus-
sia on the occasion, but it is said, owing to strong
opposition on the other side, his wish will not be
realised, and MM. Orloff and Brunow are the par-
ties definitively fixed on. I cannot say whether
the opinion which would attribute to the latter a
spirit of opposition to peace is well founded or not.

THE RECORDERSHIP OF THE CITY
OF LONDON.

This afternoon a Court of Aldermen was held at the
Guildhall—the Lord Mayor in the chair—to receive a
communication from the Hon. Stuart Wortley, her
Majesty's Solicitor-General, relative to his resignation of
the office of Recorder.

The letter, which stated the acceptance of office under
Government by the hon. and learned gentleman was read,
and it also announced his desire to place the office of
recorder in the hands of the court.

-
A discussion took place relative to the acceptance of
the hon. and learned gentleman's resignation at once, by
which much inconvenience would arise to the numerous
suitors in the Lord Mayor's Court.
A motion was then made that the letter be received
and entered on the minutes of the court, to which an
amendment was moved, that the resignation of the
Recorder be accepted, but which, on a division, was
lost, two only voting for it.
The motion for the acceptance of the letter, and that
it be entered on the minutes of the court, was then
agreed to.

Notice of motion was then given that the Court do
proceed to the election of a Recorder at its next sitting ;
and also that the thanks of the Court be given to the
Hon. S. Wortley for the admirable manner in which he
had discharged the duties of Recorder.
The LORD MAYOR stated that as the Common Ser-
geant would be engaged very much till tke appointment
of a recorder, it was necessary that an asses4or should
be appointed to the Lord Mayor's Court, and he (the
Lord Mayor) therefore moved that the next senior officer,
Mr. Prendergast, should be so appointed.
This did not appear to meet with the approval of the
Court, and the Town-Clerk was asked and consented
to act as such till the appointment of a new recorder.
The Court then broke up.
