8 ADDITIONAL BY THE ARABIA. OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND. Speeches of Lord Elgin and Mr. Cobdom at the rd Mayor's Dinner. THE PEACE CONFERENCES AND BRILLIANT BALLS, aa, &e., ao. The R. M. Steamship Arabia remsimed at anchor below Boston ali night, and came up to her deck at six o'clock yesterday morning. The mails for the south were des- patched in the early train via New Haven, and arrived in New York about five o’clock yesterday afternoon. ‘The despatch from Halitax appears to have embrace’ all the news of interest affordea by our files. The Londen Times of February 26 bas an editorial arti- ole deprecating the existence of any ill feeling, much less «rupture of friendly relations, with the United States on account of either the Central American question or the enlistment difienlty. Engiend, the writer asys, has no wish to possess the key of the Pacific, and does not value the possession of Ruatan much. Mersrs. Clayton and Bulwer bungled the treaty, and an arbitration by ® third party would bring forth a eatisfactory interpreta- tiom of that paper. ifthat is not agreed to, the people of both countries must say what it does mean. The writer conclades thus :— Both as regards the enlistment question and its ima- affront, and the Nicaraguan dispute, with ics contested details, every man feels the trifis oauses of quarrel have wrong] received importance when affairs of much greater weigh: demand the attention of either nation. A correspondent cf the London News, writing from Naples on 2lst of February, saya :— Amorgst other distinguished individual arrivals must be mentioned Smith O’Brien and his son, who have left for Sicily; Sir George Shea, who is in pad health; and Ex-Presicent Fillmore. Aceomparied by the United States Minister, on. he yesterday had a special audience of his Majesty at Casata, anc « spectal train was Placed at his dispusal. Tne Americans, I am giad to say, &re now signicg an address t) Mr. Owen, praying him to Temonstrate with the Neapolitan government on the gubject of the exchang: Tne Freoch are doing the same—so that a vast mazes of public feeling and opinion will now be brought to bear on the subjest; but I doubt if anything will come of it. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London News, writing on February 26, says :— Mademciselle Rachel arrived at Havre yesterday by the Fulton. One of the Havre journals says that ahe seems to be completely recovered from the illness which com- pelied her to give up her American engagements; but the Courrier du Havre says, on the contracy, she has greatly euffered during her v ysge, and that ahe requires three or four days rest at ates, betes undertaking the journey to Paris. In regard to the portions ef wreck seen by the Fdin- burg, Loyd’s List reports as tollow: A quantity of broken ice, and in it a quantity of broken furniture with white or glass handles, sach as mighthave belonged to a first class steamer or ehip, was passed February 7th, at 9:30 A M., in lat. 41 N., long. 46 W., by steamer Edipburg arrived at Glasgow. At noon on the wame day, she parsed pacgeioerenes and was detained seven hours, duricg w! period she saw the wreck- age. There is no mention in the log ef the Edinburg of cabin furniture having been seen. The captain mentioned im Glasgow before leaving, on his return to New York, February 25th, tnat some maple wood cabia doors, with white bancles had been seen floating smong the ice, and also what appeared to be a laiy’s work box. ‘The rchconer Ecktord Webb, Luther, from New York, with loss of main and mizzen masts, was picked up in the channel by a steamer, and arrived at Glasgow 27th of February. ‘The bark Scio, Patterson, from New York for Constan- tinople, arrived at Gibraltar February 16th, in distress, having been thrown on her beam ends, had her decks swept, &c. Our Paris Correspondence, Panis, Feb. 25, 1856.

Our great congress is stil! the ali absorbing topic. In cgntequence of the postponement of the first sitting to Mondsy instead of Sctuzday, Madame ce Walewaki's con cert for Saturday evening was also postponed. To supply the vacuum the English ambassadress chivsirously flung herrelf iato the breach, and on Saturday morning issued ards of invitation for the same evening. The tnvités re- ponded unanimously to the gracious summons, anu the consequence was one of the most brilliant soirées of the season. Fortureis always in favor of impromphu—all the beac mone were there. The number of stars, of crosees and of collars, gave a lustre to those princely apartments, already splendid with gorgeous decoration, and tcileties of the most exquisite gout. All the grest Pienipotemtiaries were not present, though the proepect of seeing them had doubtiess something to do with the ready response to Lady Cowley’s summons. Count Orloff was not there, nor M. de Cavour, the Sar¢anian plenipo- tentiary; but there were present the Eari of Ciaréndon, Lord Cowley, Count Buol and Baron de Brunnow, with their respective secretaries, and Count Walewski. The Pope's Nuncio, with his skull esp, his gold chain and bril- liant star, was there with his secretary; and as one ob- served the noiseless tread and pliaat gait of these eccle- siastical officials while gently steering their way—now to this group, now to that—blandiy smiling and chatting to every one, the old Order of the Jesuits looked as if still it retained ome worthy discipies. Nothing could certainly be more pacifis than the as- pect of such Plenipotentiaries as now stood before the gay world. Lord Cowley, the host, was courtesy itself Count Walewski, with his hands in his breeches pockets. and his jovial laugh, looked a« it war was the horror of his soul. Count Bnol, with his handsome person, his glittering eye and general bonhommic, founds bevy of admiring ladies wherever he turned; end the pale, intel- Jectual countenanee of Brunow, ligh’ed up with un- wonted animation as, greeted by many old friends, he acknowledged their kindness, in hoping that his retarn to Paris might be regarded as one of no temporary character. Itis not easy to imagine » more persuasive physiognomy than that of Lord Clarendon’s. His tone of voice, his rmile, and gracious bearing, are exactly such as would be likely to take away half the sting of a crotehetty neg2cia- tor, tefore he had warmed himseif to the work. He is tall, large made, with soft white bair, and speaks French like # Frenehman. Lady Clarendon hang on his arm the whole evening, ard is person cf singularly prepos - sessing wanzers. His age is 56—her’s about 50. She ts the davghter of the Earl of Veralam, and was the widow of Mr. Barham. Hor talents are of » very high order, and ber delight is to devote them to the use of her hus- band, for whom she iabors most sasiduously with her Baron de Brunow is a very tall man, whose » ze is pr>- bably 64, His complexion is very fair, and his whole physicguomy is highly reflective and intelectual. Bhe toreheed, which is lofty, receies; but over ths eyes jut enormons brows, as if the brain were ready to burst Yarough them. Count Walewski doss not appear to be more than 48 years ot age. I have had occasion ibe his appearance before.

In 1849, he accomplished a mis s10n to Mebemet Ail, confided to him by M. Theirs. Later M. Guisot despatched him to the province of La lata. Hefwas also Minister Plenipotentiary of France to the Ccurt of Tuscany, and in the same year to that of Naples. Tn 1862, he was appointed Ambassador to the Court of St. James, ‘The origin of Counts Walewaki,”’ says the Debats, “jg most illustrious. and this is always an advantage in a diplomatic essembly.

Uh» Conferences opened on Monday, at Count Walews- i's official reaidenoe, which is on the north bank of the chw, near the Chamber of Deputies. Large numbers of ereons assembled as early as eleven o'clock, in the Place de ha Concorde and the edjotning quay, t) see the Pleni- rn Sories pasa in their state carriages.

The Austrian Ambassador availed bimeelf of the day’s leisure to feed all toe Pleni- potentiaries with a dinner of more than usual magnifi- a ji At ibe table of the Conference, the Plenipotenttarles took rank to the right and left of the President, im the order estabi by the regulations of the of Vienna. ‘These regulations allowed two forms of prece- dence: one according to the all orcer of the names of the Powers represented, and the other according to the order in which the Pl nipotentiaries were presented to the vovereign. In this last form (that observed on the pre- rent occasion) Count Walewshi had on his right Lord Clarendon, Count Buol, Count de Cavour, Couat Orioff and Ali Pacha, The places on the left were occupied by Lord Cowley, Baron Hubner, the Marquis Pes de Villa- marna, Baron de Brunow and Mehemet Djemil Bey. On the announcement of the armistice, to endare till the Slat of March next, it was expected that a rise in the Bourse would immediately take place. The contrary, however, occurred and the Three per Cents, which tas day previous were done at 73 francs 45 cents, fell 35 canta, while at Berlin and Vienna all securities’ immediately rose, The explanation of this is not ravorable to the con- templated peace. It is conjecturec something must have ccsurred at the Conference to fling a ahade over the pa- cifie prospect, notwithstanding the establishment of an armistice; for if not, it is said that ministerial Jobbers, by their agents, would have made tnemseives felt at the Exchange. It is #0 completely established as a ministe- rial proceeding to do this, that its failure in the present instance must mean something Some reflection must have been cropped which let the initisted see the oature of the impediments, and thus speculation became dumb. There is no doubt that the money market fs in difficulty. On the convocation of the Chambers by the Emperor, om the 4th of next month arotber loan is expeoted, and this again serves to keep the price of securities low. ‘Altogether, at the moment I am writing. the ardent hopes whieb have prevailed of a peaceful solution for the last few weeks are rather below zero. The Conference, which resumes its sitting to-day, may serve to dissipate them to-morrow.

These Conferences keep the whole world on tiptoe. For once there seems a probability of the leakags being some- what less than usual. The Emperor would fain keep his entourage, his Court, his worshippers honest, if he can. He knows they are all naturally poor; and without oon- niving at the improvement of their material interests, he cannot expect to keep them as devoted adherents. But the evil of peculation bas become so notorious, and the great events now before the world are of such surpassing interest, that something was necessary to be done. Count Walewski, the President, aad Minister of Foreiga Affairs, has not had the reputation of being immaculate any more than other Ministers, but of late it is under- stocd that he has flung an amour propre into the suecess and consolidation of the Bonaparte dynasty, which is superior to the mere love of gain. I know from the best sources that it was owing to a very eerious conversation with the Emperor that the original purpose of each Plenipotentiary having hia secretary present was laid aside. ‘For the love of a!l we hold dear in common, Walewski,” said the Emperor, “let us keep secresy this time. Shame and dishonor will stick to us, if, for the sake of Bourse speculations, we shall seem to have disclosed the proceedings of the Conferences in this capi- tal. Cannot secreey be preserved for once? I should wish that not a word were whispered til! the principle of peace or war is enunciated; and the moment this is done, thet it shall be carried to the Bourse by a special mes- senger and affixed to the walls. It the decision be delay- ed till after Bourse hours, then let the Momi/ewr, and the Moniteur only, be the organ of communication, so that the whole of Paris may know it simultaneously.” Count Walewski, it is said, was profoundly moved with the Emperor’s unwonted energy, and assured his majesty that as far as regarded himself, bis wishes should be car- ried into effect, and that not a word should eoze out. This very promise of secresy gives, however, unwonted piquancy to the interest. All day long, on Monday, Count Walewski’s hotel waa literally bombarded with crowds of gazers, whose penetrating glances would have fain pierced the innermost recesses of the secret conclave. Every boudoir and salon—every library and salon dé lecture—every palace—every café and bureau des omnibus—places the most consecrated in their cha- racter—bave but one absorbing eubjest. How did Count Orloff demean himself? How did Count Buol keep both eyes straight, and yet look askance on all? How did Lord Clarendon nyeak of Sinope, and Walewski of the new treaty with Sweden? Nobody must let out any state se- crets, but euch things ought, at any rate, be spoken of It 1s of no use, however ; everything at thia moment is hermetically sealed. The Pienipotentiaries avoid being ear-wigged. They dine en grand ceremonic, and at places where no private conversations can take place. The most trivial expressions are fastened upon and twisted into @ meaning. An expression of Lord Cowley and Baron Brunow has been made mach of as indicating still existing difficulties. ‘The question is,” said his lordship, “‘ whether the thing is possible, er is it not.” ‘Tnis was uttered on Saturday evening, und on Monday the conferences begun; the result was the announcement of an armistice, the only effect of which is an immediate fall of the funds, a fall which has continued increasing. It would seem to show that the waters are very far from smooth. The conferences were to have resumed their sitting yesterday, but the drawing up of minutes and ar- rangement of general papers cecupied so much time that it was found, on Tuesday evening, impossible to be ready for the next day. The desire to employ as fow hands as possible for the better preservation of secrecy causes some delay. To-day the state carriages, with » guard of honor, have traversed the Place de In Voncorde, and it is just possible that tomorrow morning may, tarough the columns of the Monileur, advise the world that fifth point has been satisfactorily settled ia principle. Ii fs difficult to believe that many cays will be sufforea to transpire without some word in season. The com- mercial interests at stake are so vast, the essation from labor and speculation so detrimental to the interents of the world at large, that an inkling must be given as scon as a shirk of fight is observable. Aa for the Bourse, it is literally maddened by the presen’ lull. Thearmis: tice, 1t seems, had been since discounted, and now nothing is before it. Every 7 Ate proverbial untmation ainka more and more into still life, and colossal and Lill- putian speculators are alike condemned to chew the cud of bitterness, of balked expectancy. The Union has the foliowing:— “Some details have been communicated to us con- cerning the concert of Count Walewski, at which ail the Plenipotentiaries were present. Count Orloff, witb the ease ofa grand Russian nobleman, and with that ele. gence of manser, which seems so charming when allied with milltary bearing, conversed readily with various groups, which in succession collected aroundhim. After the concert one of the high personages who mont at- tracted notice, was the grend Vizier AsH Pacha,the Turk. ish representative. He is a man of delicate appearance and apparently in not very strong health, prevented » striking contrast with the tall, manty, similed gare of the Russian Envoy. But his intelligent keen glance, his strongly marked features and his severe physiogemy, give eviderce of a resolute ard energetic character. Count de Cavour, the Sardinian Plenipoten- tary, alo attracted much attentin. He is o man of midéle stature, rather stout, with features remarkable for their frankness and openness, and cver which a smile loves to play. Turning to another class of guests, we ray state that General Canrobert and General By#quet were much observed, The conce:t took place in the gale Jery in which the statue of Napoleon fit stands, aad from that apartment the guosts sould enter freely into the other rooms of the loug ruite thrown open on the cocasion Every one examined with curtosity the Salon dea Ambassadeurs, in which the siitings of the congress take place. The crowd circulated round the tabie ia the centre, reading the names ot the several Powers written in llom @ sheet of paper, placed before the reat which each representative occupier. It was then easy to see that the accounts given in someo! the public jour- nals of the position of the Powers was incorrect.” The real place of each is thia:—The French P eni, otinries arein the centre, the my ae Peproventetiree on the right, and the Austrian on ext vo the English fre the Rassian envoys, and @ Austrian the Turkish. The Sardinians are bet) ‘he Turks and the Russians. At the concert, though nots word was spoken by the Plenipotentiaries to infringe the ascresy they ace pledged to ol ‘ve, the features of al of them Tore look of eatixfaction which might imply that all was going on sr ooth y towards the establishment of peace. ‘The Anstrinn Order of the Star, which Cc unt Buel in , I was desirous of ju: for myself whether what bad been related in the journals om the aubjec: of horse fiesh was true.

Our Relations with En; THE LORD MAYOR'S DINNER AT THE MANSION HOUSE— SPERCHES OF LORD RLGIN, MB. COBDEN AND THE LORD MAYOR, ON AMBRICAN AFFAIRS. On the night of the 27th ult. the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress of London sssembled » mamerous party of distinguizbed ladies and gentlemen at the ion House to meet Mr. Buchanan, American Minister, previous to hia Excellency’s departure from the ewhaeay in London for his own country. Great dieappointment how- evor, occasioned to the guests by the unavoidable ab- gence of the principal personage in whose honor the ban- quet was given. Mr. Buchanan having received a gra- cious invitation to dine with her Majesty at Buckingham Palace on the same even: summons, we need hardly add, to which court etiquette gives precedence over ail otber engagements, The company at the civic testivity consisted of those members of the House of Commons who represent the Jargest commercial constituencies of the country, together with the leading merchants of Lon- don connected with the American and the Canadian trades.

On the removal of the cloth the usual loyal toasts were given from the chair, and enthusiastically reaponded.to. The Lory Mayor then proposed ‘the Aripy and Navy,’’ which was duly acknow! by Colonel Wyndham and Admiral Walcott. ‘The Lonp Mayor, in prefacing the next toast, viz: “the Cavada Club,” expresged the great pleasure it would bave afforded him, and he was sure that company aiso, to have been honored with the presonce of his excel- lenc: the American Minister that evening, and to have ‘eatified to him how deeply the inhebitents ot that me- tropolis, anc, mdeed, the entire British nation, felt in- terested in the uninterrupted maintenance of tbe most friendly relations between this country and that great kindred people on the other sice of the Atlantic, whom Mr, Buchanan had to worthily represented during his so- journ in Englare.

No doubt she had her faulta; but, of all colo. nizea countries in the world, she was the one which had most imitated the fatsi of the mnt State, During his travels he once ‘an enthi juc Ameri. can lady ‘why her country cculd not reat satisfied with the immense unccoupied territories it 5 but must ever be lueting after the lands of its ors??? eee peg peat Tarte cone mad isa ve one, ; but we came t, for we inherited it from you.” (Laughter.) Theo wos, he thought, a great deal of truth in this an- swer. The greatest difference between the two coun- tries consisted in this—that a great deal more oare was taken of the ladies in America than in great deal leas care ofthe men. (A Jaugh. spect shown te the fair sex was a true criterion for esti- mating the chivalry of any country, certainly in the to America in present age the palm must be conceded regard ve that amiable quality. (‘‘Hear, hear,” ‘and a laugh.) In illustration of this American char- acteristic, he might mention that when in Bosto United States, on the anniversary of the American Dacla- ration of Incependence, he was anxious to gain admission to a church where one of their most ed ora- tors was to deliver @ political address appropriate to the occssion, ‘The beadle who guarded the steadfas' refused bim access until the corporarion had arrived; and cn bis (Mr. Cobden’s) remarking, atter waiting some time, that cther pertons were being admitted, while he was exclaced, the beadle naively replied, ‘Oh, but these entlemer have ladies with them. and you have none; but fryou bring « lacy with youl will et you in also.”” (Laugh- ter.) After a g further examples of the same national trait, and likewise illustrating tne carelessness evinced on Arericar railways and elsewhere as to the safety of the sterner cex, the Hon. gentlemen concluded by com- aritg the occasional aoares bet ween England and the Enited States to the internal disputes of a private fami- ly, which might indeed produce slight temporary e6- trangements, but were sure to erd in increased friendli- ness and warmer endearments. The two branches of the great Anglo Saxon family in this respect were like Dr. § ohnson and Oliver Goldsmith. The Doctor would abuse r ** Goldie’ himself whenever he pleased, but he would rot allow any one else to do eo. (Laughter.)

A cobgres: of s much more agreeable kind, but where all ‘be Plenipotentiaries did not ar, assembied at the residence ot the Princess Ma! , in the Rue de Cour- celles, on Tuesday evening. The subject matter before them was discussed in the most amicable svirit; all that was laid kefore them was handled with the utmost deli- cacy; and neither at the beginning, middle, nor end of the celiberation was any ‘@pparent. fhe Rus- tian Plenipotentiaries offered no ‘objection, to an; that was submitted to them; they even sometimes ant pated the proposers, and accepted not merely what was isid befcre them, but asked for others that were not yet presented. The more solid and more serious subjects were not objected to, and the lighter accom - ments were, it is affirmed, completely widés aw ena to all appearance to the entire satisfaction the assemblage, In o word, the unanimity was wonderful; and, so far as the Russians were con- cerned, the only regret they seemed to have waa that there were not more propositions for them to accept. Her Imperial Highnees may well boast of the success of her negotiations. She had a dinner party en the evening in questicn, at which Count Orloff and Baron Brunow were present; and who should be placed right opposite to them but GenersJa Canrobert and Boequet! ther the dishes that were placed in the middle awoke a recolles- tion cf the Reden or the Malakoff I cannot say, but they were attecked as successfully as ever thore celebrated fortresses were, and levelled in a much shorter time. Count Oricff is the ‘lion’? of the cay; the fairer ion of bumankind, whoee taste is as tittle likely to be disputed bere as an ukase in Russia, speak most favorably of him. Thovgh far beyond that medieval term which awakes a feeiing more partaking of veneration than of sentiment, the ladies admire him much, and evident look upon bim as something between ‘Abelard and old Blucher.’’ On such occasions as the present Count Orloff eomports himaelf with distinction, and he appears to be pretty much of the same opinion as Sosie—‘‘Le véritable Am- phitryon est VAmphitryon ot Von dine.” Financial Intelligence.

As the close ot 1088 Bp- proachté, ard none of the rumors thas put forth receiv- ed confirmation, a rally occurred, and the latest bargains were at 91;c. to 4c. for money and 916. to 3¢¢. for the 11th of Mareb, Fote gn securities opeved with firmness. There was subsequently some little heaviness, prices generally being rather lower towards the close. In Turkish the decline ranged fre alf to one per cent.
