The Royal Mail steamship Carada, Capt, Lang, from Liverpool on the afterncon of the 16th inst., arrived here at half-past, seven this evenirg. ‘The Collins steamabip Atlantio arrived at Liverpool at 4P. M. on Tuseday, the 11th inst. Mr. Dallas, who went out in the Atlantic, proceeded, on * his arrival in Liverpool, to the Adelphi Hotel, where Con- sul Hawthorne had engaged apartments for him. A de. putation from the American Chamber of Commerce wait- ed upom bim at the hotel, and presented him with a con- gratwiatory address. Mr. Buchanan's speech at the Lord Mayor’s banquet bad produced a good effect, and no excitement existed re- epecting American affairs. . THE CONFERENCES. ‘The eighth sitting of the Paria Couference was held on Wednesday, the 12th, but the result was oot known. All ecccunts from Paris agree on ihe almost certainty of peace, and the intelligence ‘rom Germany aud Prussia is in the came tone. It was generally rumored that « treaty of peace would be signed at Paris about Saturdey, the 15th; all the dif- ferences, however, had not been adjusted, Several im- portant disputes respecting the Principali:ies and the Asiatic frentiors were left as undecided as when the Con- grees first mot. It is said that the reciification of territory, and the a¢justment of other uxsrrarged differences, sre to be re- ferred toa commission on the spot. The topographical details are very incomplete, and the projected frontier is peither marked by stream nor mountain chain. France, 4t is paid, will appoint as her commissoner General Le‘ang; Aurtria, England and Russia were on the point of naming theirs, Sardinia will not be represented in \y the commission. Digpatches from Berlin and Vienna atate that, for rea- eons of European interest, Prassia has been invited to send representatives to the Confe-erce; that she accepts ‘the invitation, and that Baron Manteuffel, as Plenipoten- tiary, would leave Berlin on the 14th for Paris. M. Hatz- field, the Prussian Minister at Paris, will act as the eecond Plenipotentiary. The admission of Prussia is sald to be specially based upon the ground that the discus- ‘ alon ré+peoting the treaty of 1841, by whish the Dar- danelies were closed to ships of war, is to begin forth- with, Lord Palmerston, however, bed refused in Parliament to answer Mr. Disraeii’s question as to whether Prussiajis invited or mot, He also retased to say whether Italian Sfisirs occupy the atteation of the Confererce. AFFAIRS IN THE CRIMEA. The meeting of the allied and Rusdan, generals on "Tenktir bridge had resulted m she marzing out of a line of neutral ground limited by the fenernays. ‘There was considerable sickness in the French army. The English surgeon, having little to do, had offered their corvices to the French hospitals at Constantinople. The Ruseiave were also ur healthy. THE BALTIC. Jt is stated from Hamburg, March 11, that the British Gying equacron was pushing towards the Gulf of Finland ASIA, Ismael Pacha was preparing to take command of the Turkish army at Erzeroum. Omer Pasha was at Trebizonde, on hie way to Constan- , tinople. f Selim Pasha isto be court martlalied for the fall of Kars, TURKEY. ‘The Ottoman Ministry was occupied with measures for lleviating the commercial crisis. The free export of ‘Dreadstuffs is permitted from southern Turkish ports, but prohibited from ports east of the Dardanelles. It fa reported that Sir Edmund Lyons will go to Con- * atantinoplo§ea British Minister, in place of Lord Stratford Redel fle, soon after the conclusion of peacs. GREAT BRITAIN. In Parlismont, Admiral Napier brought fofward his ,, threatened motion for a select e-mmittes of iaquiry into the management of the Baltic fleet, while under his com- » wand. He entered into a statement of a lengthened cor- reapondence between bimrelf and the Admiralty, with « view to demonstrate that he was sacrificed to cover Sir James Grebam’s incepacity. Mr. Graham retorted by reading Admiral Napier’s own correspondence, and say- ing that the Admiral was physically unfit, also that his reputation was greater than his courage, and his courage greater than his skill. Admiral Berkeley also attacked Napier, who replied, and eventually the motion was withdrawn, A copy of the documents respecting church affairs in Cavads was movet for. Mr, Baillie aske@gyhen the papers relating to the dis- pure with the Unite® States respecting Central America ‘would be presented. Lord Palmerston] replied that he was not able to atate the precise day, but it would be ery soon after the Easter recess. Mr. Roebuck-asked whether (ke papers would inciude those relative to the recruiling question, Lord Palmerston suid he could not tell at presemt, 04 no rep'y had been received to the last ceapatch s:nt by her Majeaty’s government. A ¢eputation of Irish members of Parliament have vosked Lord Palmerston to permit Smith O’Brien to return to Ireland. The answer is coferred. At the Bank of Evgland’s semi-annual meeting a divi- dend waa declared of ten per cent per annum, free of tax, the profits of the bait year being £700,000, FRANCE. Maiis oc mmercial letters continue to speak with confi- cence of peace, They also mention that the sposulative wvnia tacreases. The more cautious foar that peace ill bring on a commereial catastrophe. The little stranger was hourly expecte, and a curious ptcgramme of bis appearance has been pablishod in the Meniicur, ‘The golden rose, blessed by the Pope, will this year be “gent to the Empress Eugenia.

PERSIA. ‘The Teheran Journal announces the death of the Per- sian Minister of War, also the arrest of the Khan of Baradschan;and thatthe Porsian troops, with eight guns, had occupied the island of Kbarek in the. Persian Gulf. M. Bouree, the French Minister, was reported to have broken off diplomatic relations, but the repert recetves contradiction. ed Mr. in the British Parliament, has given ne- tice of irquiry as to whether a hostile expedition is fitting out from India against Persia, and whether the Indian or English government will pay the expenses. Mr. V. Smith, in reply to Mr. Layard, sald there were ‘two vessels, one of 600 and the other ef 220 horse power, but he did not know the number of their guns, sent into the Persian Gulf from our Indian possessions. Ho could. not pay whether the Court of Directora of the lodian government bad been called upon to prepere an expedi- tion against Persia; but there was a report that Persia hed increased her army by 10,000 men, and was medi- tating an attack upon the northeast part of India. He hoped when Persia learned the altered state of things in Europe, aud the prospect there waa of peace, she would be induced to pause in her aggressive designs. Mr. Gladstone hoped the country would not be em- broiled in war upon another Eastern ques'ion until the opinion of Parliament had been taken upon it.

OF the gay thrcog who bad gathered there for the tw-fold object of charity and pleasure, much might be sald. The dresees of the ladies end the general appearance of the gentlemen was exjuisite. Diamonds and jewelry did wot chatacterise the aristocracy assembled as \he Aca ‘oug- <n Thursday night, but richness of dress and extreme gocd taste in the wearing of the same. The old, the yourg, tha thoughtless, (he doraure, the wilty, end the jovial, of both sexes, were fully represented. Young-Now York never shone to more advantage, although the num-~ ber of old fogies in attendance was enough.to dampea the. spirits of a esa indefatigable clasa, At hulf pest nize o’clock thers cou!d not have been leag than four thousand persons in the building. It was at, thie-hour that the dancing commenced. The bands of muele, one for duncing end the other for promenading, were atationcd on each side of the proscenium boxes im the first circle.’ The first part of the Terpsichorean exer~ cleee—e promrevade—commenced with the 4 Keativel Mareb,”’ by Nol’s bend. This was followed by other pre- mezades, to muele from ‘Lucis,” pertormed by tha ame © band. Then came the first set of quadzilles, the musts being performed in the roost delicious style by Kam- merr’s bard, As the exercis‘s had now fairly eom- menaced, the rueh to the ballroom floor was perfectiy fearful. Ladies stood no chance of showing the true ofr- cumference of their hoops, for the crowd was so great that it was next to an impossibility for any of the belles. to exhebit their dresses to advantage; aed geatiomen, too, were put to come rad inconventences. Snowy white tblit bosoms were frequently ruffed, and towards tem oolock the jam wads ro great, that no man’s Iimen was sefe from waterial darcege. But notwithstanding al ‘his the merry danorrs managed to enjoy themselves, or ut least they used every possible means to take advan tage of the music offered them by bands fn attendance. ‘The programme of daucing a9 prepared for the cocasiom. comprised the most fasblonable dances; and the selection: was suoh thet even the most fastidious could aot comm. plain, The music was epleudid, being taken from the mcst favoulie operas and yiecos of eminent composere, The order of dancing was as follows :— PART Fikst.

Quien Babe? at eleven o'clock the number of persons contained within the walls of the Academy ot Music was fally five thousand. There seemed to be a continual stream of farbion and beauty pouring in at the doors on every side of the building. Every available space was filled. The circles were never so denrély crowded as on the occasion ot thia great ball. What Mario and Grisi failed to do the poor children of the Nursery accomplished without ang Gifficulty. Their appeai for afali house was not un- heeded. No, Fully five thousand persons subscribed to the charitable fund, and thus about $10,000 was collected in a single night for the benefit of the infant orphans of this city, Wo understand that a large namber of per- sons wore refused admission, in 66) of the crowded condition of the building. The office was closed in about two hours after the music o-mmesced, aud orders were given not to admit any persons who hag not the necessary pass. Great waa the therefore, among some of the fashienables, who arrived aiter 1136 o'clock, when they found that all the tickets ‘-r admission had bees sold. However, their anxiety was soon relieved by the appearance of some speculators with Plenty of tokets for rale, at $3 exch. Although an extea dollar was charged for admission tickets by these cheva- liers @ industrie, still they sold well, and 820n everything in the way of tickets completely disappeared. From 11 until 123; o'elookg the dancing precede] very slowly, owing to the vest throng who would promenade when waltzes, polkas and redowas were being performed by the musicians, As early as one o'clock large num- bers of lacies and gentlenen, most of whom did mot en- gage in the dance at all, took their departure from the dalixoom, and retired to their homes, From that hoar the company gradually became less, and at 2 o'clock tt Was quitecvident that there were not more than 2,000 Persons in the eaifice. Before 3 o’clook the bard played “Home, home, sweet home,” and all who remained se hind until that hour were busily engaged im making: preparations for their departure.

There were three entrances to the bailroong, floor, each of which was guarded by @ policeman, Them middie aisle was the passage by which visiters entered, upon the floor, while the two side passages were intended, nolely for egress, By this arrangement severe crushing and squeesing was, in a great measure, arcided. t these precantions had’not been taken, the onadition «¢ affairs (among the ladies particularly) wou) save we exiremely annoying,
