HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. Tr'r Gladstone asked if it was the intention of her Majesty s Government in the recent Correspondence with Rassia to re- serve to themselves the liberty of withdrawal from the Congress upon the proposal (by way of amendment of the treatv or other- wise) to discuss any matter of winch they might hoUUhe dis- cussion to be inadmissible, and without sharing in or waiting fo^he discussion itself.-The Chancellor of the he could not clearly understand the fl"ostlo";twnh/<^n^p 'n7ie to be an argumentative one, and as such was out of order lhe whole efforts of the Government had been directed to ohtaill an understanding that if they enteral the Congress even article of the treaty should be submitted.Ir. Gladstone asked Pi- ston to explain, and said he wisned to know whether hei Ma- jesty's Government conceded to Russia the same rytt with- draw from the Congress whicn it claimed for itself. The Chan- cellor of the Exchequer repliod that he understood every Power had that ri°ht* but her Majesty's Government wished to ascer- tain beforehand what matters were to be treated as madmissi- W^and as likely to lead to withdrawal by any of the Powers. He could not reply further.—Mr. Gladstone gave notice of a fur- ther question on this point, and then he asked what were the reasons of the Government for declining a preliminary Confer- enc^to settle the procedure of the Congress-The Chancellor of the Exchequer said these were fully set forth in the despatch of Lord Derby 011 the 16th of March. He said Lord 0^l"by did not absolutely decline, but he expressed an opinion that the b.t,iis of the deliberation would be best settled by the Congress it.ielf.-The Chancellor of the Exchequer made his financial statement, weich we gave last week. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. Lord Whamc'JSo stated that he had received from Her Majesty's Consul at Bordeaux a copy of a letter from the captain of a British shi;* which passed the Kurydice 011 the day she foundered, and the writer was of opinion that the squall came down suddenly upon that ship without any warning. A or.e discussion followed on the subject of coolie emigration to tr.e Mauritius, and some Bills were advanced. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY Sir George Campbell gave notice that he would on Monday move an addition to the address to the Crown on the subject of oiling out the army reserves, praying Her Majesty to accept the preliminary Conference, and to support any concerted action which the other European Powers may take to resist the Russian encroachments ill Ronmania. Mr. Lowther, iii answer to I question, stated that a Government reward 01 ,U>00 had been wffored for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators of the recent murders in County Donegal. This reward was not subject to the usual condition involving the actual conviction of the accused. Dr. Kenealy read a series of questions reciting a number of convictions of Minn Jurr, and asking in each case whether she was the person of that name who gave evidence for the Crown in the Tichborne trial. The Speaker ruled that the questions were out of order, but Dr. Kenealy challenged the rul- ing, and he was than pronounced to he out of order for doing this. Dr. Kenealy thereupon gave notice that he should bring en the subject on the first opportunity on going into supply. J. Kay-Shuttlewortti, on the motion for Supply, called the attention of the House to the state of local government and tax- ation in London, and to the need of a measure extending to the metropolis the benefits conferred on other cities and towns by the Municipal Corporations Act, 1S35, and moved a series of re- goluti JIlS. A loner debate followed. HOUSE OF LORDS—MONDAY. THE CALLING OUT OF THE RESERVES. The Earl of Beuconsdeld moved an address in reply to her Majesty's message announcing hor intention to call out the reserve forces. "He sketched the course of the negotiations which led to the signature of the Treaty of San Stefano, and al io those having reference to the assembling of a European Congress, pointing out that her Majesty's Government nan throughout consistently maintained that all the provisions of the treaty must be subject to the ratification of the signatories to the Treaty of Paris, 1S56. If the treaty as it now stood were carried out. Turkey would be reduced to a mere subject and va.Mal of Russia, and thus the free navigation of the Straits, as well as our trade with Persia, was concerned. A consideration 0/ all the circumstances had induced the Government to advise hut Majesty to call out the reserves, by which means an army of 70,00,) men would in a llOrt time be ready for the held. He contended that, while all the Powers of Europe were arming, Fngland alone should not remain unarmed, and he expressed his confidence that the peers of England would not refuse a vote that was demanded for the protection of the interests of the British Empire.—Earl Granville explained why lie and his friends had resolved upon leaving the Government in this matter to act on their own responsibility, and complained of the meagre- ness of the information supplied as to the opinions of other Powers upon the subject of the Congress. He still had hopes of peace, and thought Government would do well to try and obtain concerted action on the part of the European Powers in fa-our of certain just and moderate modifications of the treaty of Han Stefano, which Russia would not be inclined to refuse.- Tiie Earl of Derby deuied that the calling out of the reserves was the sole or the principal cause of his difference with his late colleagues. When the vote of six millions was proposed he had temporarily retired from the Cabinet, and his resignation was in the hands of the Prime Minister for forty-eight hours, but he consented to remain. Now, however, it was proposed to call out the reserves, which only ought to be done at a time of great emergency. He saw no reason in the present state of affairs England should increase her land forces, and he also tailed to see any real ground for a casus belli.—The Lord Chsncelloi, Lord Selborne, the Earl of Carnarvon, the Duke of Argyle, and Lord Selborne, the Earl of Carnarvon, the Duke of Argyle, and other peers folic, and the Vvtc was agreed to.—The Marine M tiny Bill was read a third time. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The Chancellor of the Exchequer nv >.d an address in reply to her Majesty's message calling out the reserves—a measure which he remarked was not one of war, but of precaution. He declared that England, above all things, desired a Conference which would be able to undertake the settlement of the Eastern question, but not one that would be tied and hampered in the settlement of the cardinal issues. If the treaty of San Stefano were allowed to stand as it was Russia would be placed in a most commanding position. The voice of Europe was in accord with us in wishing to see a Conference that could deal with every article in the treaty in itself, and in its relation to the whole. The policy the Government now proposed to pursue was the same as that which dictated the vote of credit, and while it was far removed from a desire to provoke war, it was a policy of determination to stand by the rights and duties of this country.—Mr. Gladstone did not intend to contest the address by an amendment, as a mi vre favourable opportunity would be afforded of discussing the calling out of the reserves upon the supplementary estimates. No such emergency as would justify the step had been shewn to exist. He denied that the policy of this measure was the same as that on which the Vote of Credit wsis founded. After passing in review the negotiations with re- feience to the Congress, upon which he said the hearts of the vast majority of the people of this country were set, and also the recent circular note of Lord Salisbury, he observed that the Government were leading the country along the brink of a pre- cipice, but if they turned their attention to working in concert with Europe, and not without Europe or against it, they would receive the support of a united people, and escape the immeasur- able guilt of a useless war.—Sir W. Lawson moved an addition to the address, to the effect that the House regretted that Ministers had thought it right to advise the calling out of her Majestv s reserve forces, considering that no great emergency bad been shown to exist; and that such calling out of the re- bad been shown to exist; and that such calling out of the re- serves was deither prudent in the interest of European peace, necessary for the safety of the country, nor warranted by the state of matters abroad.—A long debate, in which Mr. Hardy took part, followed, and it was ultimately adjourned till Tuesday. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY. The House met at tive o'clock. T>H The second reading of the Factories and Workshops Bdl was moved by Earl Beauchamp, who stated that it was the consoli- dation of thirty-tive years' work and experience.—The Earl of Snaftesbury expressed his gratitude to the Government for the introduction of the measure: after which the Bill was read a second time.—'lhe Public Baths and Washhouses Bill, and the Thrashing Machines Bill were read a third time and passed.- On the report of amendments to the Bishoprics Bill, the Earl of Redesdale proposed to insert a clause to enable a bishop, other than the Bishops of London, Durham, and Winchester, to resign his seaff in the House of Peers, after having held it for twsnty-five years, or on attaining the age of seventy-five.—The Lord Chancellor opposed the proposition on the ground that it wis contrary to the principle that a member of Parliament could n »t resign his seat, and that its effect was to enable a bishop to give up one of his duties, while retaining the whole of his emolu- ments. After a short discussion the clause was negatived, and their lordships rose at five minutes after seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. The Speaker took the chair at 4 o'clock. In reply to Mr. Potter, Mr. Hardy stated that the crops 0. the pre- sent year in the Bombay Presidency had in some respects suffered from brought, but not to such an extent as to render necessary any further measures of relief.—In answer to Mr. Sheridan, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said the question affecting the interests of the English holders of Turkish bonds was un- doubtedly one of great importance, and her Majesty's Govern- ment were alive to its importance, but at present he was unable to say anything definite as to what steps would be taken. THE DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS. The adjourned debate on the Address in reply to the Queen's Massage was resumed.—Mr. E. Jenkins, after criticizing the procwli'wr* of '"11,' G.->vpm*npnt inconsistent with its peaceful profession" called upon it to give the House a more definite ex- position of its policy than the frothy declarations of the Prime Minister, and the vague statements of the other members.—Mr. Hanbury urged that unless the proceedings of Russia were now checked they would be a constant source of disturbance in the East of Eirope.-lir. Chamberlain would always, whether it w»3 popular or unpopular, protest against the policy of the Government as long as It was likely to be attended with national disgrace and disaster, for he could see nothing in our national sblipations which required us to go to war. — Mr. BaiUie Cochrane supported the pohcy of the Government.—Mr. J vcob Bright charged the Government and its supporters with desirin" to involve the country in war without an object or an a Dillwvn protested against the proceedings of the Government which Sir George Bowyei considered to be too late to be of any use.—Mr. Rutland protested against the House s tnctioning any measure that would involve the country in war. -Sir C. Du!"e snpnr>rt<»d the amendment, for although he did not much complain of the last action of the Government, there was nothing to justify its present proceedings.—The Marquis of Hartington could not concur in the course taken by Sir W. Lawson in proposing the amendment, for he would either force the House to a premature division in favour of the policy of the Government, or in a rejection of a proposal for which the Government must be held strictly re- sponsible. At the same time he strictly censured the policy of the Government as too unbending, too wanting in a Spirit of conciliation, land making too little allowance for the portion of Russia at the close of a life and death struggle, and after the enormous sacrifices she had made of blood and treasure. He hoped the Government would adopt a more con- ciliatory attitude, and that through the intervention of other powars, which would justify the anticipations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to the possibility of a Congress. -rlie Chancellor of the Exchequer briefly replied, after re- crtulatin" the reason why the Government had adopted their present policy. He denied thai they had rejected the Congress they only insisted that to be of any use it must be per- fectly free to discuss the whole of the treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey, and to that position they were determined to adhere. They felt also that this country had great interests at stake, which they uo not aliow to be dealt w ith bv others, and they were hound to ta^e care that once the ,-timy was placed in a state of efficiency to vindicate those interests if necessary. At the same time lie did not des- p^ir of a great international settlement ot the question. Sic W. Lawson declined to accede to the suggestion of Lord H.f.rtington to withdraw his amendment, ar.il on a division it w*! negatived by 319 to 64.—lhe address in reply to the Queen's message then agreed to.—The House adjourned at 1.15 a HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNKSDAY DT. Kenealy gave notice he should on Thursday ask the reasons for the detention or the Rev. Mr. Oodwel1. Dr. Forbes Win slow and other medical men having certified that he was per- fectly sane.—Mr. Macdonald then moved the second reading 01 the Emplovers' Liability for Injuries Bill, explaining that he did not propose in the measure to alter the 1 iw so fa • as acci- deats were concerned, which employers were powerless to pre- vent but onlv to deal with neglect. As employers were ar.ned with' ample powers to punish recklessness, they should be liable for the consequences when those powers were not put liable for the consequences when those powers were not put in farce —Mr. Tennant thought the Bill would create ,t e,.ter injustice than that it proposed to remedy, and moved that any :tIteration in the law should be founded upon the report o; the jlect Committee of last session, and that any measure on the subiect should be introduced by the Government.— Mr. Brassey supported the Bill, but hoped to hear that Government would deal with the question next session. Tiw Bill was also supported by Sir C. Forster, Mr. Gorst, Dr. Cameron, Sergeant Simon, and Mr. Burt.—Mr. Shaw- t Lefevre thought the measure went too far, hut considered it t should be read a second time with a view to amendment in com- mittee.-Sir H. Jackson, Mr. Gregory, Mr Hardcastle, and Mr Puleston spoke in opposition to the Bill.—Mr. Lowe was of opinion that the law of common employment should be abolished, and the principle substituted that where a person placed in authority by an employer was the cause of injury to others acting under his orders, the principal should be liable.- lhe Attorney-General admitted the unsatisfactory state of the law, and undertook to bring in a Bill to modify and alter it, which he hoped would prove satisfactory, but he would not attempt to foreshadow its promi,,ies. -Ntr. W. E. Forster said that as the Government Bill was not promised for this session, he should support the second reading of Mr. Macdonald's measure with the view of sending it to a select committee.—Mr. Bulwer fol- lowed in opposition to the Bill, and was speaking whqn Wednes- day's time limit was reached, and the debate was consequently adjourned.
PEACE OR WAR.
PEACE OR WAR. LORD RADSTOCK'S APPEAL TO CHRISTIANS. The following letter has been published by Lord Radstock SIR,-Appa-rently on the very verge of war which may spread like an awful conflagration over all Europe, bringing death to hundreds of thousands and desolation to millions, I would as a Christian, and as an Englishman,as a member of the great human family, raise my feeble voice with others to ask what are those sup- posed British interests," to sustain which not merely the com- mercial prosperity of nations is to be blighted, but men's blood is to flow like water, and tens of thousands of happy wives and children are to be made sorrowing widows and orphans ? I would have asked in the name of Christ, which all profess to bear—of that Christ Who gave His life for His enemies, and told us to love our neighbours as otirielves-but alas t it seems that that long tender voice is not heeded in the heat of passion, and that those who call Him their Lord, and profess to have their hopes of eternity in Him only, will shut their ears to His counsel, and bow to the great Moloch of earthly honour and prosperity, veiled under the high-sounding name of "British interests." The policy by which the country was to be directed was the policy of the head as opposed to the policy of the heart,' i.e., worldly ambition rather than care for the interests of others its professed object was to keep Turkey as a barrier to Russian progress. What has been the result ? The destruction of Turkey and the increase of Russian power. And now we are to plunge into war because the eventual possession of Con- stantinople by Russia might threaten future danger to our com- munications with India. Let us take warning by France. She went to war with Germany to check its growing power, but the mob who shouted A Berlin a Berlin little knew in their effort to avert the possibility of future danger they were bring- ing the very calamities they feared with tremendous force on their own heads. Let us count the cost before we begin. If wo are successful, we shall still have to regulate the affairs of Turkey in conjunction with the other Powers-in other words, do the very thing which we were asked to do before Russia de- clared war against Turkey, and to which Turkey would have consented if she had not been backed up by England. If we are unsuccessful, not only shall we have to pay in thousands of precious lives, but the whole fabric of our Indian possessions will be shaken to the foundation. Letus not be blinded by pas- sion, and begin a war to escape dangers which may be purely imaginary. When passing through Berlin I had the advantage of seeing M. de Bulen, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and he spoke not as a diplomatist, but as a high-minded Christian man. His words were to this effect:- We want the English people to be in sympathy with us in our "desire to ameliorate the condition of the oppressed Christians in Turkey," and he expressed his astonishment that a country like England, where there was so much Christian feeling, should be indifferent to the fate of those suffering populations. The real danger to British interests is not the advance of Russia, but that terrible national pride which thinks of no welfare, of no honour, but its own; and that supposed wisdom which, for the sake of avoiding future dangers to our commercial prosperity, rushes into a war which brings certain present distress and poverty, and may possibly strike a lasting blow at our national prosperity. I know that numbers of your readers believe in a righteous Gtod of Providence; and if war does take place, not in self-defence, but only for supposed British interests, He may allow the obedience to the idol which has been worshipped at the expense of every other consideration to bring us into trials which may in iadelible characters write the lesson that "The fear of God is tha beginning of wisdom." RADSTOCK. ENGLAND'S CONDITION FOR THE CONGRESS. Mr. E. S. Pryce, secretary to the Eastern Question Association, in a letter to the editor of the Echo, says It is the arbitrary and unreasonable demand insisted on solely by England that Russia should enter the Congress as the only one of the Great Powers whose liberty in it is restricted, which is the cause of all the present mischief and danger. From Russia, and from her alone, an attempt is made to exact a pledge beforehand as to her proceedings in Congress, and that attempt is made by a Power whose neutrality towards her throughout the war has been ofton doubtful, and whose attitude is now becoming one of unmistakable hostility. Let us en- deavour for a moment to examine dispassionately the point at which the negociations have been arrested. The English de- mand addressed to llusssa is that every article in the Treaty between Rnssia and Turkey shall be placed before the Congress, not necessarily for acceptance, but in order that it may be con- sidered what articles require acceptance or concurrence by the several Powers, and what do not." Russia, as I understand the words, is to pledge herself beforehand not to object in the Con- gress to the discussion of any article of the Treaty by the united Powers, although she may consider such article a matter which concerns exclusively herself and Turkey. Her objection to such discussion is to be overruled before she enters the Conference. Germany or Austria, or any other. Power, may be at liberty to plead that any article need not be discussed, but not so Russia. What does Russia propose in the place of this English demaud ? "The Preliminary Treaty of Peace" is communicated textually to the Great Powers before the Congress, and Russia gives her word there is no secret treaty and "in the Congress itself each Power will have the full liberty of its appreciations and of its action." Russia leaves to the other Powers the liberty of raising such questions at the Congress as they may think fit to discuss, and reserves to itself the liberty of accepting or not'ac- cepting the discussion of these questions." Under the Russian proposal all the Powers will enter the Congress with equal liberty of action for or against the discussion of, and the accept- ance, rejection, or modification of, any Article of the Treaty. Is not this at least as good as the English proposal ? Let me illus- trate the effect of the alternatives in the constitution of the Congress by a reference to one of the most difficult portions of the Treaty, in which portion it is affirmed that Russia feels the keenest and most personal interest, and may not receive the sympathy of other Powers. Suppose it is proposed to discuss the cession of Bessarabia to Russia. According to the English plan Russia could not, when the Article is proposed for discus sion, make any objection. She would be precluded from doing so by the terms on which she entered the Congress. But, if the Russian plan is adopted, she would, if she saw fit, object to the dis- cussion itself, move, as we should say, the previous question and an argument with her compeers would ensue not on the propriety of her acquiring Bessarabia, b. to. the propriety of the Congress discussing the question. In this argument a comparison of opinions would take place, and as the result Russia would succeed or she would fail in convincing her associates. If she succeeded this matter would be withdrawn from discussion in the Congress, but the determination would not rest with her alone, but with her and her associates. If she failed, she might if she pleased retire from the Congress, or might protest against the discussion and refuse to be boundtby it, a course of proceeding which on this or on any other article might be followed by any of the Powers. But in any case- all points of agreement would be approaches to concord and to a settlement; and in opposition to Lord Derby I contend that it would be far better for the Congress to meet on the Russian plan, and even break up without achieving a result, than it would be for it not to meet at all, and for the two great Powers of England and Russia to be drifting as now into rancorous alienation." Mr Pryce concludes by saying it is almost im- possible to conceive that the difference between the Cabinets can afford the least justification for war, and by hoping that "the resignation of Lord Derby, however mnch to be deplored, may furnish an opportunity for the abandonment of the un- reasonable demand which he defends, and enable England to co-operate with other Powers in maintaining, rather than threatening, the peace of Europe."

THE GREEK INSURRECTION.—THE…
THE GREEK INSURRECTION.—THE MURDER OF A TIMES CORRESPONDENT. The body of Mr. Ogle, the murdered correspondent of the Times, has been discovered headless in a ravine. It was identified by a scar on the wrist of long standing. The corpse was conveyed to Volo, where it was received with great expressions of sorrow and respect on the part of the populace. In a letter from Mr. Ogle, published by the Times, he bears testimony to the efforts of the Greek in- surgents to secure internal order in the localities over which they have established their" provisional govern- ment." At Pelion-where the insurgents have since been defeated—prefects of police, with subordinates for the different villages, were appointed criminals were arrested and punished—unless the offence happened to be of a very grave nature, in which case the culprits were to be kept in custody until after the establishment of the longed-for union with Greece passports were issued and the taxes were collected with far less trouble than when the district was under the Turks. THE RUSSIANS AND BUYUKDERE. The Russian authorities have renewed their request for permission to embark their troops at Buyukdere, alleging that it has been found impossible to embark them at San Stefano. According to a Constantinople telegram, the Sultan told the Grand Duke Nicholas in their last inter- view that this request could not be acceded to. The Turks are constructing an entrenched camp at Maslak, on the Buyukdere road. Their forces in the neighbourhood of Gallipoli and Constantinople number 248 battalions. TURKEY'AND THE BRITISH FLEET. Reuter's Constantinople agent mentions a statement that, in the event of a war between Russia and England, Ahmed Vefyk Pasha, the President of the Council, would deem it necessary for the Turkish ironclads to leave the Bosphorus so as to avoid having to resist the entry of the British Fleet. The Sultan is understood to be desirous of merely protesting against their entry, but Reouf Pasha and some of his colleagues are of opinion that any attempt of the British ironclads to pass through the Bosphorus should be resisted. THE ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA. The Russian press is opposed to the Government making any further concession. The Pall Mall Gazette corres- pondent, however, telegraphs that intelligence from St. Petersburg seems to indicate that the party favourable to peace is acquiring great influence in the councils of the Czar," and it is expected that his Majesty will solicit the good offices of the Emperor William as mediator between himself and England. The Central News is informed that a strong, though friendly, pressure is being brought to bear on Russia by both Germany and Austria to induce her to accede to the demand of the English Government that the whole of the San Stefano treaty should be sub- mitted to the Congress. FRANCE. In replying to Prince Orloff's remonstrance against the tone of a portion of the Parisian press towards Russia, M. Waddington, the French foreign minister, is said to have given the assurance that so long as he remains in office France will take no part in any hostile action towards Russia. ROUMANIA. The Political Coirespondence, a semi-official Vienna paper, says that it learns on good authority that on the Russian Chancellor's threatening language to General Ghika, the Roumanian agent, being repeated to Prince Charles, the latter said, "Tell Prince Gortschakoff that the Roumanian army may be utterly crushed but so/long as I am alive it shall not be disarmed." The semi-official Agence Russe contradicts on authjority the report that Prince Gortschakoff had stated to the Roumanian envoy that the Russian Government would oppose the discussion of the Bessarabian question by the Congress. Mr. Bratiano, the Roumanian Premier, had a long interview with Prince Bismarck at Berlin on Sunday. The Agence Russe believes that prospects of a Congress be- ing held are brightened by the latest intelligence received in St. Petersburg on the subject. THE WOMEN'S PETITION. The women's petition to the House of Commons, pray- ing it to use every possible effort to avert so terrible a calamity as a war between England and Russia, was signed by 10,076 women, in six days, in Birmingham and Harborne. PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF'S REPLY TO LO RD SALISBURY. The Times, in a special edition on Tuesday evening, published a long telegram from its St. Petersburg cor- respondent, giving the text of Prince Gortschakoff's circular in reply to Lord Salisbury's circular. It states at the outset that it is not exact to say that the treaty of San Stefano has created a new Bulgaria, nor a strong Slav state under the control of Russia. It has only rendered obligatory the consent of the Porte to a programme of reforms more complete and more precise than was enunciated at the Constantinople Conference. The Treaty had not placed a new State under Russian control. The Imperial Cabinet has only done what was already realized in 1830 in regard to Moldo Wallachia The maximum term of two years had been assigned for the provisional occupation of Bulgaria, because that lapse of time had been deemed necessary to maintain order and peace, and to protect the Christian and Mussulman population against reciprocal reprisals. The prin- ciple followed in the administration of Bulgaria had been based upon the majority of population, and surely no more reason- able nor equitable plan could be imagined. The prelimi- nary treaty did not place under the domination of a chief chosien by Russia since it was formally stipulated that this personage should be chosen by the indigenous administra- tive council, with the confirmation of the Porte, and the assent of Europe, with the further provision that the members of the reigning dynasties should be excluded. The document then proceeds to combat the assertion in Lord Salisbury's despatch, that the treaty would extend the influence of Russia beyond the limits of Bulgaria by reason of its stipu- lating for ameliorated institutions for Epirus and Thessaly, and it is argued that if Russia had not demanded anything in favour of these provinces she would have been accused of sacrificing the Greeks to the slaves. Allusion is not made to the articles of the treaty affecting Armenia and the question of the indemnity, and in conclusion it is pointed out that Lord Salisbury's despatch does not show the obiects for which her Majesty s Government would strive, could be attained, or how an understanding is to be arrived at for a solution of the actual difficulties existing in the general interests of a solid and desirable pacification in the East of Europe. According to the Cologne Gazette, Prince Bismarck does not yet regard the Congress as impossible, and the Pro- vincial Correspondence considers that the political tension has certainly not increased, while there are tendencies that further efforts will probably be made to maintain peace. According to a Bucharest telegram of Tuesday's date, the Russians are preparing to withdraw three army corps, or a total of about 150,000 men, from Bulgaria into Roumania. The insurrectionary forces in Thessaly, who were encamped at Pelion, have been driven out by Tur- kish troops, and have occupied new positions between Almyros and the Greek frontier. A number of Christians have been imprisoned by the Turkish authorities at V 01<9, on suspicion of having been implicated in the insurrec- tion. THE ATTITUDE OF AUSTRO-HUNGARY. In defending the Government policy in the Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday, the Hungarian Premier said that recent events show that the interests of Roumania and Hungary are identical, inasmuch as both have a common enemy in Panslavism. Herr Tisza concluded withthe declar- ation that the Austro-Hungarian Government still regarded it as its mission to maintain the interests of the monarchy and of peace. Speaking on the same day in the Italian Parliament, in reply to interpellations upon the Eastern question, Count Corti, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, said that the Government, being confident of the success of the pending negotiations, did not consider it opportune to make declarations which might place their result in jeopardy. In the event of war, Signor Corti added, "the Government, jealous of the true interesti of the country, and thoroughly resolved to uphold them, will know how to keep within that attitude of rigorous impartiality which corresponds with the unanimous sentiments of the nation." A telegram from Constantinople, published by a Vienna semi-official paper, states that "Mr. Layard has again succeeded in paralysing for the present the Russian en- deavours to obtain the friendshiptof the Porte." General Ignatieff will accompany Prince Gartschakoff to Berlin should there be a congress. At a non-political meeting of the friends of peace, held on Friday, April 5th, at Liverpool, in Hope Hall, the speeches were frequently interrupted by a small band of Tory intruders. A local Conservative agent presented himself upon the platform, and stated that he appeared there as the representative of the Prime Minister and Lord Salisbury. He submitted an amendment, but the distinguished statesmen who delegated him to attend on their behalf will (remarks the Liverpool Post) no doubt learn with extreme disappointment that it was rejected by a large majority The disorder did not become serious, and resolutions advocating a pacific policy were carried with enthusiasm. The peace demonstration which was to have taken place in Hyde Park on Sunday, April 7th, was wisely aban- doned, and the preparations which had been made by the police to keep order, and by the war party to break it, were alike useless. A meeting was, however, held by the indefatigable Lieutenant Arniit, who succeeded in rally- ing around him thirty staunch patriots, and these loyal Englishmen with much effusion, passed resolutions eulogistic of Lord Beaconsfield and that nation of nations, the Turks. The meeting then marched in triumph to Tra- falgar-square, where it dispersed. The leaders of the Opposition decided on Saturday not to move an amendment to the Address to the Queen in reference to the calling out of the reserves. It is under- stood that this decision expressed the view of Mr. Glad- stone as well as of the other occupants of the front Liberal bench, The Morning Advertisers Vienna correspondent tele- graphs that the Turks are arming considerably in secret. They have yet 120,000 regulars. The Turkish officers are eager for revenge. The Army and Navy Gazette understands that several American shipping firms have offered steamers of great speed to Russia as cruisers. The transport branch of the Army Service Corps is to be augmented. A Times telegram says that at a meeting in Moscow it has been resolved to organise a volunteer fleet of light vessels for destroying the enemy's commerce, to form com- mittees, and open subscriptions for this purpose all over Russia. The Morning Post says, as indicative of the feeling of the commercial community of the imminence of war, as- surances are daily effected at Lloyd's against the capture of merchant ships and their cargoes at sea. The premiums are five per cent. The petition presented by Mr. John Bright on Tuesday night, from the Labour Representation League, consisted of a roll 114 yards long, and contained over 15,000 signa- tures. In addition to this number from 2,000 to 3,000 signatures were rendered invalid in consequence of their being written on both sides of the paper. In reply to the 8,000 copies which were forwarded to the presidents and secretaries of the Trades' Unions in nearly every town of the United Kingdom, only 41 refusals were re- ceived, some of which were couched in very violent language. The promoters state that a large num- ber of additional signatures could have been obtained if time had allowed. Among the signatures received for the memorial to the Queen are those of the Duke of Westminster,Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. Robt. Browning, Mr. J. A. Fronde, Lord Alfred Churchill, Professor Bain, Mr. J. Burt, M.P., Mr. W. M. Rosetti, Mr. David Rosetti, Mr. C. H. Spurgeon, and the High Sheriff of Lincoln- shire.
THE AFFAIRS OF MR. W. CONNOR.
THE AFFAIRS OF MR. W. CONNOR. At the Manchester Bankruptcy Court on Monday, April 8, be- fore Mr. Registrar Lister, Mr. Best, who appeared for Mr. .%fare liaiiiton, the trustee in the bankruptcy of Mr. William Connor, of the Northern Bank, stated that the peremptory order made by the Registrar on the previous Monday for the tiling of the accounts by Saturday last had been complied with. The accounts covered 106 sheets, and he should therefore ask for an adjournment for a fortnight in order that the trustee might have an opportunity of examining them. He understood that the officer of the Court would require four or five days to pre- pare his copy of the accounts, and the trustee would not be able to go through them in less than a week The Registrar said tha Court would be closed that day fort- night. Mr. Best said that in that case he must ask for an adjournment for three weeks. Mr. Cobbet, who represented a number of creditors, assented to this course. With reference to the resolutions in favour of liquidation by arrangement passed at a recent meeting of creditors, he said that no official record of them had been made, and he thought it would bo well for the Court to appoint a time for their discussion. Mr. Best said that until the trustee had gone through the accounts it was impossible for him to satisfy himself as to whether he should support the resolutions or not. The Registrai said that the question of the resolutions would be taken at the adjourned meeting that day three weeks. The following is the official statement of accounts:- T.IAHIT.ITIVi Unsecured creditors -u, zC59,187 8 2 Creditors fully secured — 7,747 2 6 Less estimated value of securities 5.990 2 0 1,757 0 6 Creditors partly secured 13.502 5 4 Estimated value of securities. 8,834 19 5 4,667 5 11 Other liabilities 910 0 0 Creditors for rent, taxes, &e. 440 9 (3 Total 65,205 3 7 ASSETS.

THE CASE OF SADLER V. WHALLEY.
THE CASE OF SADLER V. WHALLEY. AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT. At the Liverpool Assizes, on Tuesday, the case of Sadler v. Whalley was brought before Lord Justice Brett, and a special jury. The action arose, it will be remembered, out of a trans- action between Mr. Sadler, a Liverpool gentleman, and Mr. Whalley, concerning some brick works in Wales, and had been sent down by the Court of Chancery for trial, as to facts. Mr. Russell, Q.C., Mr. Herschell, (I. C., M.P and Mr. Mansell Jones (instructed by Messrs. Stephens and Danger), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall, Mr. Gully, and Mr. Smyly (instructed by Mr. Richard Sampson), appeared on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Aspinall said his lordship had probably seen from the record that this action, which commenced in the Court of Chancery, was brought by a Mr. Sadler, of Liverpool, against Mr. G. H. Whalley, M.P., in the Court of Chancery. It most unfortunately happened that on both sides very grievous im- putations were thrown out by the parties against each other. He (the learned counsel) had gone very carefully into the matter on behalf of Mr. Whalley, and had come to the conclusion that there was no ground whatever of any imputations on either side, and he was as satisfied as it was possible for anybody to be from a personal examination of the documents in the case, and from other reasons, that Mr. Whalley stood per- fectly clear from having made any mis-statements or having done anything wrong in this matter. He was equally satisfied with regard to Mr. Stephens, solicitor, on the other side, upon whom imputations, by way of retort rather than original accusations, were thrown before the other tribunal, that- he was not to blame. Therefore, he thought, and he knew his learned friend, Mr. Russell, would concur with him, it was most unfortunate that such things should have been said, for there was never any ground for them, and the honour of both Mr. Stephens and Nlr. Whalley on the other side stood as perfectly unimpeache.4 as it always had been. In order that it might be clear to the public, they had made an arrangement which involved for the moment no concessions on either side. The matter was to be dealt with on the understanding that all imputations were to be withdrawn, by a tiibunal which it was better, perhaps, he should not mention, but which would be admitted by every one eminently capable of dealing with a matter of this kind. Mr. Russell said he had only a word to add to what his learned friend liad said. He quite agreed with him that it was most unfortunate that in the course of the proceedings in Chancery certain imputations were made both on the one side and the other. On the part of the plaintiff in this matter,or on the part of Mr. Stephens, his solicitor, whose conduct was mainly con- cerned, tno imputation was made in the first instance on Mr. Whalley in the pleadings in the case, but such imputations as were made were made in the heat of the conduct of the case in Chancery, and even then in the cause of the discussion of the case, Mr. Jones, who appeared with Mr. Herschell and himself (Mr. Russell) in the case, in answer to the Vice Chancellor, said that he did not mean to suggest that Mr. Whalley had misrepre- sented anything, but that his memory was treacherous, and could not be relied on. He had, therefore, great satisfaction in saying that there was- no imputation on Mr. Whalley's bona fides, or that he intentionally stated that which was not correct. His learned friend had in a handsome way withdrawn the sug- gestion of any impufation upon the conduct of Mr. Stephens, and so, with his lordship's assent, the record would be with- drawn. The record was then withdrawn.
MR. SAVIN'S TRACTION ENGINES.
MR. SAVIN'S TRACTION ENGINES. SWETTENHAM v. SAVIN. This case came on on Wednesday, before Mr. Justice Lush, at the Chester Assizes. Tha plaintiff in this case is bridgemaster and county surveyor for Montgomeryshire, and the defendant is the owner of several locomotive traction engines, and the action was brought to recover damages for injury to a county bridge at Llangynog, in the county of Montgomery, by reason of the passing over it of the traction engines of the defendant. Mr. Coxon and Mr. Marshall (instructed by Mr. Harrison) appeared for the plaintiff,, and Mr. Mclntyre, Q.C., and Mr. Higgins) instructed by Messrs. Minshall and Parry Jones) appeared for the defendant. Mr. Coxon explained, in the course of his opening, that the main question arose upon the Act of Parliament passed in 1861, regulating the use of locomotives on ordinary turnpike roads. The sixth section of the Act stated that it would not be lawful for the owner or driver of any locomotive engine to drive over any suspension bridge or any bridge upon which a conspicuous notice hail been placed by authority of the surveyor, stating that such bridge was insufficient to carry weights beyond the ordinary traffic, without obtaining the permission of the bridge- master or other persons liable for the repair of such bridge. The ordinary notice was placed over the bridge in question, the surveyor being of opinion that it was of insufficient stability to carry locomotives, and in the face of this defendant's locomotive passed over the bridge. The present action was brought, not so much to obtain damages, as to having an injunction refraining the defendant from using the bridge with his locomotives. His Lordship asked if there was any dispute as to matters of fact. Mr. Coxon said he believed Mr. Mclntyre disputed that any damage had been done to the bridge, that the bridge was suffi- cient to sustain the locomotive, as Colonel Yolland, the officer appointed by the Board of Trade, had made a report upon it. The sufficiency or insufficiency of the bridge was, however, immaterial, as the Act of Parliament stated that after the notice had been affixed to the bridge there was no right to go over it. The Judge said that where a notice had been put up, and the bridge was a county bridge, he thought it was an unlawful act to go over the bridge. It was, however, hardly worth while going into a long enquiry if all the facts were admitted. He should advise at' present that if it could be proved that the surveyor put up a notice in conformity with the Act of Parlia- ment, the bridge had no right to be used without the sanction of an officer appointed by the Secretary of State. At present he did not see his way to. grant an injunction, and he would suggest that a juror should be withdrawn, and that the action should begin de novo. Mr. Coxon said that would lead to great additional expense, but he was willing to consent to alter the date of the issue to a period within which. Colonel Yolland's certificate would come in. The Judge said he did not think he could grant an injunction, and in the interests of the plaintiff it would be better to with- draw the case by postponing the writ, and in making such alterations in the-pfoos as might be thought desirable. This suggestion was ultimately agreed to, and a juror was withdrawn.
RETIREMENT OF MR. WATKIN WILLIAMS,…
RETIREMENT OF MR. WATKIN WILLIAMS, M.P. Mr. Watkin Williams, M.P., who has represented the Denbigh Boroughs for ten years, announces his intantion to retire at the close of the present Parliament. The claims of his professional work and home and family, and the knowledge. that the independence of action which he claims in certain matters is unacceptable to a portion of his supporters, are mentioned as the cause of his retirement.
