On the subject of the difficultics with the United States wo have nothing new to report, exseptiag that the Lon- don Morning Advertiser professes to be aware that Mr. Dallas carries out very stringent demands 3n regard beth to the Central American and the exlistment questions. The Peace Conference, it was supposed , would meet on the day that the Africa left. Anxiety was daily increas- ing aa to the result. It isetated, but not generally credited, that Rusia eonsents to the dismantling of Nicholaieff. Paria editors have been ordered to write ao more re- specting peace or war whi'e the. onference sits, The new British loan had all been taken by Rothschild, at 90. In both houses of the British Parliament official an- nouncement was made that it is tbe intention of govern- ment to appoint » board of general offisers to inquire into the charges contained in the report of the Crimean commiseion. Lord Derby, in the Houw of Lords, brought up the subject of the mutual duties of tue Minister of War and the Commander-ia-Chief. It was reported that the Ministry, seeiug the formi- Gable opposition raived in the House of Lords, are dis: posed to recede from pressing the Weulse, dae Peerage. Sir Jcshus Walmsiey’s motion for cpeniag the National Gallery and British Museum on Sundsys was discussed in the Commons, and negatived by a vote oi 376 against 48. Lord Palmerston opposed the resoiutin, bat without stating bis reasons. Lord John Russell gave notice that he should, on that day fortnight, move resolutiyas on the suoject af national @dncation in Kagland and Wales. Mr. Otwey gave notizo \ that he should move for information as to the intentions of the government of India, with regard to the territo- ries of the King of Oude. Lord Palmerston latd upon ‘the table papers relating to the Dani-b succession, Gon. Kroty, & Hangery, writes to the London papers contradicting certain expressions atwinuted to him dero- gatory to the English officers at Kars. Kmety protests against his name being mixed up with the Jersey refagoes and eocialist newspapers. He is a soldier, be says, who ‘tries to do his duty according to his conviction aud to the Best of his power. Not a vestige of the ship Great Dute now remains; and though her cargo has been washed aoou', yet, owing to ‘the precipitous nature of the coast, it ix fewred little can be raved. The bodies ot several of the crew have been reoovered and buried at Angie. ‘The Countess Caumont Laforee, an eccentric lady, aged 40, who resiced in the avenue des Chomps Klysées, Pa- ris, was murdered by her groom » few weeks since. The ‘assassin stabbed her with a pit in the cours ofa violent quarrel, and then gave 9 to the police. Acingular incident bad occurré@ @ Liverpool. Mr. Tatham, merchant, came in the m@ii@Mag to the Ex- change rooms, and, as usual, consa.ted the bniletin of of prices. Finding that articles in which be had spec1- lated largely were falling, he retired to a vauit under the Exchange ard cut his throat. Fortuoately, he was dis- covered ore Dife was extinct, and he ley ia the vault at- tended by four medical men, it being impussible, in his Precaricus state, to remove bia. The Austrian Credit Bank has agreed to take shares in the Western or “Empress Elizebeth’’ :Railroad to the ssmount of 20,000,000 florins. The houses of Rothschild ‘will be concerned to ha!t tha: amount. Comstantinople advices report much excitement and » @onfasion in commercial affuirs. All things have fallen in price, and merchants who have heavy stocks fear to incur heavy losses. ‘The official accounts ofthe trade and navigaticn of Bri- tain for tue year 1855 bave been pubdiisned, and showa Batisfactory result, The exports amounted in value to 297,864,655; the value in 1854 having been £07,184,726; and in 1863, £98,983,781 sterting The Brokers’ Circular quotes # decline in eottom during the week of about 1-164, chiefly on the middling and Jower qualities, on acoount of large arrivals.

Since Lord Palmerston’s reply to Mr. Roebuck in the House of Commons, nothing further has taken place \ with regard to the misunderstanding between Kagland and the government at Washington. The peace conferences at Paris will probably open on Monday next, Fobruary 25. One after the other all the Pienipotentiaries have dropped in; Orloff yesterday, and Asli Pacha to-day, Count Walewski, as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country where the conferences are held, will be Presl- dent. The delicate question of precedence has been 1 settled as regards the other plenipotentiaries. They will nit according to alphabetical crder of the names of the nations they represent. Thus Austria will come firet and Turkey last. The feeling that poace Jwill certainly be the resuit o ‘these cenferences grows firmer daily. One of the ticklish points 1s whether Nicolaieff is ty come under the appella- tion of Biack Sea forts. Nicolai-ff is, as you are aware, not on the shores ot the Black Sea, being on the Bug, which runs into the Biack Sea. It ls the arsenal and dockyard of Sebastopol, and quite as formidable to Tur- key as Sebastopol itve.t. ‘The influence of Russia has already begun to show it- scif at Paris, The Journal des Debats, which is one of the dest Doris papers, (O:leanist,) published » loag leader to ‘prove that the allies had no right to demand the shutting ap of Nicolaieff, The Siecle dencunced the article in the Devats 08 Russian eTasion; the Moniteur republishes the article in the Siecle,ana (ben to crown ail the Consti¢ulionnel Geclares that the publication of the article of the Seicle 4n the Moniteur arose trom an errer, If this is a sample of the manner in which the conferences are to be carried on, may some kind genius watch over them, Quam parva sapientia regisur mundus is ® very old quotation, but not a whit the lees true ‘The conferences at Constantinople aro going on aatia- factorily.

The cmly items showing ery iaportant falling off are the yarns of cotton and linen, the continental demand for which was affectec by the political uncertainties of the time. ‘THE NEW LOAN AND FUNDING OF KXOHEQUER BUSS, ‘Thuis morning (Friday) Were was a numerous attond- ance of capi slits at \he Treasury, to take part to the biddings fur the new loan ana tancing of exchequer déils.

Aithough the pie: ipotentiarics have not yet assembled in council, itis stated that the exigencies of diplomatic euquette have already beon fully discussed and sativ’ac- torily settled, ‘The Paris Constituttonnel, in an editorial headed “The Holy Aliiance,”’ indicates that the Congress will not o2- cupy i'self excimively with the subjects arising cut of the war; and sayé, ‘it is not impossible that} certaia im- portant events, which since 180 have movified the state of Europe, ‘as it was defined by the Congress of Vienna, will ¢ the attention of the Conference of Paris.’’ The editorial goes on to intimate that the treaties of 1816 will be essentially remodelled. The Paris Mairie takes the same strain, acd quotes also an editorial to the same effect from the Journal ot Frankfort, endeavoring to prove that the present Conference will ubliterate all ves- tigen of the once famous alliance against France, ‘The revolutionary propagandism, says the Patric, bas ok made an instrument ot the revision of the treatios of 1815, abusing os in many other instances, a patriotic and national idea to turn it in’o an element of disorder. But now, tharks to the Imperial policy, thanks to the succesa of our arms, thanks to the confidence that France inspires throughout the Continent, from the wis- dom as wei] as atrengih of ica government, it is now in the pame of conservative ideas that peopie are asking in Germany for & revision of the treaties of 4815, The iiewr contains an article that has attracted much notice, as « supposed hint of what the demands of the allies will be.

I was Informed this afternoon, by ® person whose au- thority I have little rearon to question, and who could harély be deceived oa so important a aubject, that the point which was expected to prerent the greatest diffi- oulty curing the Conferences, namely, that of Nicho- laieff, has been given up by Russia. It this be confirmed, I see no rerious obstacle in the way of peace. Indeed. a dip/omati«t, who is Russian, if not by birth at least by feeling, sald last kes that nothing was more certain then that peace woul be the fsaue of the Conferences, ard that the Conferences themselves 'were little more than matter of form. That ench a result is owing to the union and identity of views between France and land there can be ttle doubt. ‘The act which Ihave already announced of the satis- factory interview of the English Plentpotentiary with the Kxeperor on Sunéay night is confirmed in another quar- ter pot too apt to credit anything tavorable to such an alliance. On that occasion it is stated that the Emperor declared that no change bad taken place in him; that there was uo foundation for the rumors which attributed to him a leaning to any other Power; that to the alliance with England he should adhere throughout: that this weuld be made apparent at the Conferences by his not absndoving for an instant the line of polloy they had traced out together, and which they would follow up to the Inet; and that the position assumed with respect to Rursia should be maintained as firmly by him aa by Eng- lacd.

[Krom the London News, Feb. 23. We are authorized by the cirectors of the London and the County Bank to state that the late Mr. John Sadiisr’s traneacti‘ns with the bank had ceased for some months past, and that no loss will accrue to the establishment from bis connection with it. Considerable excitement has prevailed today amongst the shareholcers of the Royai Swetish Railway company, in eountction with the over issue of shares recenuy broughtto light, An investigation into the Company's affairs bas been commenced to-Cay by some hig ily re- «pectable shareholders, largely interesed in the under- taking. Apta‘ement of ita position wil, we believe, be dvawn ap as #oon as possible, and laid betore the propri- etors at ® public meeting. It seems to be plased cout (hat an extensive over tssue of the company’s se- curities war fraudulently made by the late Chaiyman,{Mr. Jobn Sadlier, M. P. [From the Morning Advertiser.) ‘There is every reason to believe that, when all is known, it will be found that the amount of frauds of which :he late Mb. John Sadiier hss been guilty will not be mach under £1,000,600. First, it has been ascertained beyond all (ony that Mr. Saqiier had forged no fewer than 50,- 000 Royal Swecih Railway Company's shares, and obli- gatuns of £5 each, on which large sums of money were reised. This forgery alone is to the nominal sum cf £260 000, only it is not yet known what amount he was abie to raise on the thares and obligations. In adai- tion to these forgeries, there are torgeries o1 several deeds sné mortgages ot estates in Ireland.

Theextent to which this class of Jorgeries has been committed may be infer- ted from the fact that the stamp duty alone on these smounted to several hundred . A considerabie number of forgeries on private individu- nia, also, have already been discovered, and there is [eSeizensen to believe Sieh others yet remain to be as- corti : Those which bave beon detected are sup} to amount to nesriy £100,000. in addition to the Peoens of forge- Ties alscady Qnumertted, Me.

Th:se ofthe Encumbered Commissioners are raid to be 10 perfect that the most experienced sage could not detect the forged deeds from the genuine. ‘The act of self-deatruction was, it is believed, precipi- tated by the circumstance of four of the holders of deeds relative to the purchase of one of the encumbered estates who bad advarced £10,000 to Mr. Sadlier having on Sa- turdsy last gore over to Ireland with his solicitor for th purpose of bavirg the deed registered. Mr. Sadiier en- teavored to frostrate the in.ention of the party, but failed. On the Continent, too, where his transactions were to an erormous extent, great alarm prevails.

I have always sought to be honest, taithful and true in al! my relations with society. I have never sought for, or asked for, favor or fe vors that I did not, at the time, think I would be enabled to make the amende honorable in due time. I have some- times been betrayed into false confidence, by ee through a combination of untoward and uocontr: clreumstances, evolving pecuniary evil and an absence of proper and justifiable encouragement in seoking fos ho- norabdle employment, I am reduced to meniicity, and dr to the pain‘ul and humiliating necessity of w- ing myself upon the mercy of the charitable world for aid eno comfort in this the darkest hour of my existence. 1 went to rane fo mp Nog th My to the’ ally ot.
