Tue plankway on Dorchester street below

Hillsborough Street is, at present, very dangerous to the pedestrian. The contrac- tor, last fall, neglected ‘‘ planking” it, and plank are now loose and sometimes thrown out of place, making it very dangerous to those passing after night. We direct the attention of the Street Committee to the matter.

. Last nieut, shortly after 11 o'clock, Pri- vate Watchman Cusack discovered that tfie warehouse of Messrs. McEachern & Co., on Dorchester street, was burglarized. He re- “ported the matter to the police, who, after a diligent search, succeeded in arresting two suspicious persons named Patrick McKenna sailor) and Patrick Lamb (truckman), on wer Water street, near the head of Peake’s No. 3 Wharf, at 2 o'clock this morning. One of these had on his person a Jarge bottle of whisky. Shortly afterwards the police found a case of whisky in a lane near the burglarized warehouse. It was marked ‘‘M. & C.,” and the bottles in it were similar to the one found on the person of one of the prisoners. They were ex- amined hefere the Stipendiary Magistrate this morning, who, after hearing the evi dence of Mr. McEachern, the watchman and police, remanded the prisoners for eight days.

YESTERDAY, about ten o'clock, a young woman named Catherine McKinnon en- tered the Post Office and enquired for let- ters at the wicket. There were but four persons present—prominent among whom she noticed a young lad named Herbert Harris. She had in her sacque pocket at the time a purse containing $3,50. While at the wicket she felt some person thrust their hand into her sacque pocket, but not thinking of the purse or thatthere werethievs present, she paid no attention to it. Leav- ing the Post Office, she proceeded to the store of Geo. Davies & Co. to purchase some goods. There she found herself minus her purse and contents. After a dilligent and unsuccessful serch, her memory became refreshed with the thought that it was taken from her pocket while in the Post Office. She made known the facts to the police, and said she — suspected Harris. He was arrested on the Market Square a short time afterward ; and, when on his way to the station in charge of officer

Chandler, a oe named Hughes, who was|

standing 2 McKenzie & Stumble’s door, saw something drop from his (the prison- ers) person. A few minutes afterwards a boy named James Waddell, who was _pass- ing in the footslips of the officer and the oe, picked up what Miss McKinnon identified to be her purse, and also what the boy Hughes says he thought dropped from the prisoner's person. Harris was tried before the Stipendiary Magistrate morning. He says that while Miss McKinnop was in the Post Office there was a boy named Bell standing at her left side. He protests that he did not steal the purse ; and’as there is a possibility that Bell might steal the purse and loose it while crossing the Market Square, the prisoner was re- manded until to-morrow,

The Tension in Rowmania,

Rumored Closing of the Baltic

©

(Spe ial Despatch to Reaminer. )

Loxpon, April 29.

Che tension in Roumania has been greatly relieved by a circular of M. Bratino, Presi- Roumanian Ministry, to the Prefects, cautioning them against the as- sumption that the military convention with Russia has expired, and enjoiming courtesy and forbearance towards the Russians, and calmness and firmness in the discharge of

A Bucharest correspondent says: ‘‘If this document had been promulgated when the Bessarabian and other questions were first broached, it might have prevented an enormous amount of violent and exceeding- ly impolitic agitation.”

Negotiations between the English Com- missioners and the insurgents, for cessation of hostilities in Thessaly, are progressing.

M. Trepotf, whom the woman Vera Sas- sablitch some time since attempted to assas- sinate, has been relieved of his functions as Prefect of St. Petersburg and of the Police.

A rumor comes from Vierna that Count Von Moltke, the well-known German strat- egist, who is visiting Copanhagen, is com- missioned to negotiate a league between Denmark, Russia and Germany, for the closing of the Baltic. This rumor is prob- ably based on a statement of the North German ‘‘Gazette’ of Saturday, that it would not conceal its opinion, that the des- patch of a British fleet to the Baltic, where many neutral interests might be affected. would render the situation more immeasur- ably complicated.

Thv Vienna ‘‘ Montags Review” yester- day, published a Berlin letter believed to be semi-official on this subject. The letter said that it could hardly be expected that a foreign fleet would make its appearance in the Baltic against the wish of Germany.

The ‘ Pall Mall Gazette’s” leading edi- torial says: *‘ The solicitation of Austria and Italy to prepare a plan of their own, amounts to neither more nor less than a verbally modified offer of the principle of equivalents, as the basis of a settlement of the Eastern question.” That offer has been made again and again to Her Majesty’s Government during the recent war ; and we have no fear of their accepting it at a time when they would incur more conspicuous discredit by so doing, than on any past oc casion.
