An attempt appears to have been made , on Monday night , to'break hito Windsor Castle ! Colonel Hood , Clerk Marshal to Princ « rAibert , was returning late to the castle . He tool a private way by the elopes ; and was not a little Surprised-to * ricounter fa his walk seven or eight men , with thejrfa ^ es blackened , and their feet muffled , if he mi ght j » dge by the noiseless character of tlieir movements . The ruffians fled at the approach of the hon . and gallant gentleman , and have not since been heard of . On inquiry . it appeared that the surpected burglars were observed by
tlie sentinel on duty at the corner of the Prince of Wales ' Tower ( on the basement of which is the gold pantry ) , and that the man-at-arms , looking down from the terrace , threatened to fire upon them . To tliis they replied tliat if he attempted to fire , o > r give the alarm , they would blow out his brains . The hostile parley had proceeded thus far when Colonel Hood eliteml b y the Ledge-gate in Datclietlanae and the burglars doubtless supposed that he was at the head of a party Bent to capture them .

( SkTUHDAT , February lltu . Both Houses transacted important business last night ; and in the Lords there was a ludicrously unsatisfactory talk 031 the Eastern Question . Nothing could toe -more precise than the interpellations , nothing more vague and unsubstantial than the Ministerial replies . The conversation arose upon a question put by Earl FrrzwrxxiAM , who asked whether the Government were in possession of any information Tespectingthe mission of Count Orloff to Vienna . The Earl of Clajeibndon said he believed Count Orloff was not the bearer of Any counter-project or counter-terms to those previously proposed by Austria : —
" Bis mission he believed , was to state , first , that it was indispensable that a Turkish plenipotentiary should proceed either to St . Petersburg , or the head-quarters of the Russian army to negotiate for peace ; secondly , that if he came to St . Petersburg , the representatives of the four Powers might have power to treat with him , bnt that there should be no formal conference ; thirdly , that a protocol should be drawn up , containing agreements with the Sultan , with regard to the privileges and immunities of the Greek Church , and the evacuation of the Principalities ; fourthly , that arrangements should be made with regard to what were called agitators and revolutionists . Count Buol thinking these terms at variance with those adopted by the conference at Vienna , answered that they were unacceptable and
tually at- ^ ar yet , and as long as tfea * va * the caae h $ would ; Jiave jiopes of peace , a » d on being p * gB » e <| again < as to whether negotiations for peace wer » going *? n » said the negotiations a £ Vienna . we »» brought to a close , and h « was mot » w « ro « f any p # ies # . going on ^ at present . - Ix > rd BEAOJtosT declared that the honour « f th # country was involved in things not remaining a » theyiare . " Earl Gbanvbule complained of the irregulaijty of putting questions like theaa , without notloek . and e *< r plained that all Lord Aberdeen meant was * that , bo long as actual warfare had not commenced ifaetQ was hope of peace , and that hope was fi » und « d . Dn th ^ cocdial combination of the pow& » of Europe ^ which might , have an effect on the course taken b $ the 2 £ mpero ? of Hussia . .. ?'
GThen came a talk abo ^ t the Reform BilL Earl Gas ? iuguired whether the Jteform Bill could be pnaceede 4 Wph before the a * xny and navy estimate ^ weare bro « £ ^ t 9 n > and deprecated any measure whicht would delay ^ hem , . ' . The Ear | pf Afi £ M 3 > ££ ^ said theHeform Bill would bejjrought iwvr ^ d . oa J 4 onday , and that it would not iaterfere vrit&x the arm ; and navy-eslimatea ; fop although it would -be ia&oduoed i 4 t wpuld not be proceeded with , befiore tbose estimAbBa ., Thenobl © e * rl seemed to think tliat we are a ^ tinall y at war ,, wluch -was not ; o « Ay not tfee . case , ; ip 4 i 1 « d *« ied that it waui inevitable ;} and although : pr ^^ aratioas lor war would go on , | ie would not yet , " please Godl " abandon hopes of peace . . " *
The Earl of I > brbt regretted , the determination of . the JGroverjiment to go oa with the TKefoym Bill ^ which , although it might not inirerfere "with niiHtary preparations ^ would stir uy party strife ^ t a moment when unanimity in ParlittHient was « o desirable , andf It vas a xoeasure which noight , if it disa » tisfied Parliament , lead : to the resignation « £ ; Ministers , or a dissolution of Parhament ; and if % -was successful ,, the House of Commons , when reJotniedhy it , could not continue to exist as it now was , ah&iihen there mnst be a dissolution , which wou $ d tie of serious
injury at such a , crisis . In the House of Commons some sparring about the propriety of bringing in the JRefiMna JBuX : at thls crisis preceded Lord Joaw RassEU . ' s speech on bribery . He having repeated that he intended t » briog on the Reform Bill on Monday next , Mr , Diskaslx announced , that it the Pleasure tended * further to diminish the influence of the landed interest , it would meet with the niost istrenuoua opposition ; although they had no woh -to embarrass the Government in any measures they might takewith regard to the impeading war .
Mr . Bright approved of going on with the bill r and promised his hearty support to aay measure for improving the representation of the peoptet Lord J . Maxn £ ks objected to proeeeding ; with any measure likely to interfere with the preparations for
war . Lord John Russell then brought forward two bills for the better prevention of bribery ; treating ,, and undue influence at elections , for Members of Parliament , and for the trial of controverted elections . V He stated that the earlier clauses of the first biU defined the offences it was intended to prevent , and 'provided that any person threatening violence or restraint , or in any way
practising intimidation , to induce persons to vote , or to afatain from voting , should be deemed guilty of the offence of intimidation , and be liable to a penalty of £ 0 £ It provided that persons goilty of bribery should be for ever after incapable of sitting , in , Parlia » ment ^ and persons guilty of treating or intimidation , should be incapable of sitting in Parliaments for thesame place in the same Parliament . Copies of all convictions for bribery and treating should be forwarded to the-Speaker , and entered in a book of Parliamentary disqualification . Voters who had received bribes were to have their
names eraeei from the register of qualified voters , but to * be yearly published in a list of disqualified voters . The second bill provided , that , when a petition was presented complaining of bribery , treating , or intimidation at an election , there should be a preliminary commit ' tee of fifteen members—something likt a grand jury ^ to consider the evidence in support of the petition , and if they thought a pritnd -fade case was made out , then the petition would be refened to a select committee . It the cominittee reported that the petition was well , founded , the expenses would be borpe by the public purse , but if not , the petitioners would have to pay the costs . If the sitting member was unseated , and the unsuccessful candidate was-. shown to have obtained two-thirds as many votes as the successful
candidate had polle * l . the committee should have the power of declaring him duly elected . If the committee wore of opinion , and reported that bribery had extensively prevailed , the Speaker , without the necessity of an address being moved , should report the matter to the Home Secretary , and tlie Crown should be empowered to issue a commission , and to nmne the commitMiion'irs , whom it would ho as well to choose from the Revising Uarristem In order to secure uniform elections by election committees , it was provided thut there should bo ten assessors up ' pointed , being barristers of ton years' standing , one of whom should uct witli every election committee . ll » o Chairman's panel was to be abolished , leaving the general committee on election , petitions , who should choose the members of the committee . A conversational debate ensued , the effect of which was , on the whole , favourable to tlie measure ; the
conld not be received . As to tl >« other objects of Count Orlotff , he ( Lord Clarendon ) was not sufficiently informed to make any statement : nor had ho any papers to produce , but he would say that lie believed that the mission of Count OrloiThad referencepnly to tho relations between Bussia and Austria , and that in the answer given to him tlie independence of Austria had been assorted . " In answer ^) the Earl of Ellendorouoh , the Earl of CLAnENixHsr stated that Sweden and Denmark had given assurances of perfect neutrality in any war that might ensue , and had sent a list of ports into which they would not admit the ships of war of belligerents , which had been approved of by this country .
Later in the evening the Marquis of Ci < A , NjticAuDiij asked if Lord Aberdeen knew of any negotiations for peace that were still going on . The Earl of A sendees denied that we were ac-
