The Peace. The Opiiiione, Of Turin, Give...
THE PEACE . The Opiiiione , of Turin , gives what fhe Morning Post calls "' a very fair sketch " of the terms of the Treaty of Peace . They are thus set forth :- — " 1 . Neutralisation of the Black Sea , in which Russia and Turkey are allowed to maintain tea armed vessels each for the defence of the coast . " 2 . NicholaiefF to be reduced to a commercial port . " 3 . Russia accepts the consids of foreign ^ powers in r tvo tilar-Tr Sf > n . n .-nrl t . TiA 'RnH-. irv ¦

A commission is to be sent to the Principalities to examine the state of public opinion , and the wants of the country , and to study and fix the new frontier of Bessarabia . On which subjects , a Congress will deliberate on the receipt of reports . These questions therefore , are all left open . " The Morning Post adds that " it has every reason to believe" the correctness of this statement , and observes : — ~* ' Turkey , of course , may have as large & fleet as she chooses in the Sea of Marmora and the nrn + Ai'K < -if fimiiaf .

It is obvious that ten vessels for each State is the minimum number of ships required in a sea of the magnitude of the Euxiae to prevent its coast becoming the refuge of pirates , and to secure the safety of the commerce of all nations in its waters . The presence of the Consuls of England and other Powers in the ports of Russia will ho the best guarantee that this slight armament will not be exceeded . " Count Buol has received instructions to remain at Paris , in order to take part in the deliberations upon such , details of execution as yet remain to bo settled .

America. Further Particulars Have Reache...
AMERICA . Further particulars have reached . England of the speech to the Senate made by Mr . Clayton on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty . He advocated a firm , but temperate , upholding of the claims of America , and proposed to continue negotiations in the hope of " bringing England to reason by argument . " In the meanwhile , however , America should arm and fortify . " Not , however , " added Mr . Clay ton , " to make our country rival Great Britain . We should take time to do that . It is our right to do so , war or no war . But this is the worst time we can engage in a war with Great Britain . She is armed ceep-d-pie , capable of throwing 40 , GOO troops from -the Crimea on our coast , and with the greatest naval equipment ever known in the history of the world , while we are almost defenceless . If Great Britain should" see we are resolved to enforce our rights by pursuing the doctrine laid down by Washington— ' in time of peace prepare for war '—should she see we are building up our fortifiot win
cations and naval power—tne people jt . ngianct compel their Government to yield its positions . Since the publication of the correspondence between Lord Clarendon and Mr . Buchanan , public opinion in England has been rapidly tending towards an acknowledgment of the justice of ou-r construction of the treaty . " Mr . Clayton further said that the appeal must be to the English people , who would rather turn out any Ministry than fight with " suck a nation as the American . " The debates on t he Kansas election case in the Hoxise of Representatives have been brought to a close , after a discussion of ten days' duration , by the adoption of Mr . Dunn ' motion to appoint a committee of three" to proceed to Kansas and investigate all the facts , charges , and statements connected with the return of the rival candidates . A bill has been reported in the New York Senate to incorporate the Transatlantic Telegraph Company , "with a capital of
11 , 000 , 000 dollars . It is stated to bo the purpose ot the company to establish telegraphic communication between the continents of Europe and America , with liberty to construct any other line or lines between the points where the main trunk across the Atlantic shall touch North America , or any other point in the United States that may be determined on by the company . In the Maritime Court at New Yorl ^ in . a suit brought against the British Consul to recover five hundred dollars alleged to be due to the plaintiffs for tho services rendered and moneys expended under a contract to prooure men for enlistment in the British army , tho Consul , through his counsel , pleaded tho privileges of his official position , and the Judge , suataining the objection , dismissed tho case .
A fearful catastrophe has ooonrred to thq ship John XUitledgo , on its journey from Liverpool to Now York . On the l & th of February , she encountered an iceberg , wliioh stove a hole in her bow , and , as it was found that she was sinking , tho orew and passengers got off in the boats . Some , howover , woro loft bolund with the vessel , in which they Hank ; and , in one of tho fivo boats whioh put off , tho thirtoon oooupants drifted about for several days in tho ice mud stormy atmosphere , and died one by one from cold and utarvation , until only a youth was found ulivo whon tho boat was rescued on tho 28 th of February by the Q ormania , bound from Havre to New York .

Tho deeds purported to be conveyances of , . estates sold in tho Encumbered Estates Court to Jfqh , n Sadjoir and the certificates of registry , whioh wrere numbered , mentioned books in whioh tho momonala of tho doe ^ u wore entered . Ono of tho " ? w » ° j * tW » dfttod in 1 , 862 , boro the signature of tho U % e m , WfaHo * Olafloook , who died before tho
establishment of the Encumbered Estates Court . The other certificates purported to be in . the handwriting of Mr . Chapman , First Assistant-Registrar , and to be signed by that gentleman . On examination by Mi . Morgan O'Connell , Principal of the Registryoffice and his assistants , it was found that no such books were in existence , and that all the deeds but one and the entire of the certificates , were forgeries , The deed that was not forged had been originally a conveyance of a small property purchased for £ 2 , 000 ; but the amount was changed to £ 5 , 000 . The total amount of the consideration money on the five conveyances was £ 44 , 000 ; the sum lent upon those securities was < £ 16 , 000 . Murder . —Mrs . Kelly , of Dublin , a lady whose name has been a good deal before the public in connexion with the lawsuit of " Kelly v . Tlieroles , " was shot on Tuesday evening while walking in her grounds in company with her nephew . Two men dressed in petticoats and black veils , approached , told the neph « w to stand aside , and discharged their pistols at the lady . Her death was instantaneous . The Murder of Miss Hinds . —The Cavan Special Commission for the trial of the men charged with the murder of Miss Hinds has now commenced ; but the result has not yet been arrived at .

NAVAL AND MILITARY . The Oaviqwdibii and Hall CoNTnovJsnsY . —General Cavondiali publishoH in tho Times of Monday a longcommunication with roforonoo to thomattoru in dispute between himself and General Hall . It dooa littlo more
• ¦ m ^^ i ™ " ^ " —— —«^^ bmb than recapitulate the facts with which our readers are already acquainted . The General emphatically asserts his innocence of the charge of writing , or ca . \ ising to be written , the anonymous letterB reflecting on General Hall ; and he asserts that several of his friends , as well as three experienced judges of handwriting , stated before the Military Court of Inquiry their confident belief that the communications were not penned by General Cavendish , though apparently there had been an endeavour to imitate his style of -writing . This approachin g Naval , Review at Spithead . —Great preparations are being made for the grand naval spectacle which is shortly to take place . The fleet is continually augmented by new arrivals , and a rehearsal was gone through on Monday , under the superintendence of Vice-Admiral Sir G . Seymour , K . C . B ., the commander-in-chief , on hoard the steamyacht Fire Queen . At half-past ten the fleet weighed in two columns , the line-of- "battle ships first , frigates and smaller vessels following , the Commander-iu-chief in the Arrogant leading , the others following according to seniority . As they stood out from the anchorage , they presented a grand spectacle . Having run the distance marked by the two stationary vessels , Gorgon and Merlin , the weather division rounded the Gorgon or the westernmost vessel , and the lee division rounded the Merlin or the . leeward and easternmost
vessel , and made towards jronwiiu * u-vu . < tg . uu m u « same order as on going out , and anchored in line at about four . On the passage back , the steam-yachts Black Eagle and Vivid , and tho steam despatch gunvessels Intrepid and Coquette , Commanders Wood and Rislc , were ordered to try rate of speed in a run from ahout three miles below the Nab ~ to Cowes ; but the superiority of the Vivid was speedily so manifest that all competition was out of the question . The gunvessels were pretty nearly equal , and kept within hah a mile of each other all the distance run . One went ten and a quarter and the other ten knots , while the Vivid went twelve . The shores were crowded with spectators . The review has been postponed , in order to allow time for the arrival of a still larg « r number of first-class vessels . It is now thought that it will take place about the 23 rd or 24 th . . Admiral Symonds , who died from consumption m his passage from Malta to Marseilles on Sunday week , has been buried in the Protestant cemetery of the latter town .
Collision off Tarifa . —A disastrous collision has taken place between the iron-screw steam-ship Mino , of Barcelona , Captain Marquilles , while bound to Liverpool , and the English sailing transport Minden , which was towing the Bustler steam-tug . The Mino was going at the rate of ten knots an hour , and sank five minutes after she was struck . It is feared that about ninety persons have been drowned ,, the captain , being one of the number . , . m ' t The Pacific —The English steam-ship lartar , sent in sear ch of the Pacific , has returned to Galway without obtaining any tidings of the missing vessel , although she proceeded as far as 25 cleg , west , and about 55 deg . north latitude . On tho 29 th wit . she met with the American ship Joseph Badger , in great distress , with four feet of water iu the hold , and supplied her with provisions and with eight men to assist in navi gating her .
