The whole of the military staff and all the non-commissioned officers at Aldershot have received, stringent orders from the War Office to hold themselves in readiness for active service immediately,

It is reported, in addition to this, that the principal officers of the British Army have received very important secret instruc- tions for certain contingencies.

The second English army corps, is now being raised.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.

The Turkish army is being rapidly or- ganized, and is becoming the main factor to be reckoned with in the withdrawal of the question, 1s the Turkish ministry » will pro- bably decline to pledge itself to permit the return of the English fleet and the Russian troops if they are once withdrawn from Constantinople.

Seditious meetings are held nightly, and a popular rising is feared.

The extreme Mussulman party have asked the Shareef of Mecca and the Muftis of Tunis and Morocco whether Turkey should join England in the event of an Anglo-Russian war. Both the Muftis re- plied in the affirmative, and the Shareef has promised to submit the question to the Council in the event of hostilities.

The Mussulman insurgents are approach- ing Phillipopolis and are driving the Bul- gavians before them.

“Russell House,” Ottawa.

THe “‘Russell Howse,” at Ottawa, is one of the institutions of the country, in the Parliamentary session. It is owned and run by Mr. Gouin, with a staff of , assist- ants who, contrary to the practice in Amer- ican hotels, appear to be desirous of being obliging even toa perfect stranger.. The rooms are many, and, in the new part, par- ticularly, very bright and cheerful ; the view from the windows including all the thoroughfares between upper town and lower town. The table is eXcellent, and served with a promptness which per- vades nearly all the vices ” at Ottawa And the charges are moderate. The con- venienées of the hotel include a barber’s shop, a tobacconist’s shop anda druggist’s shop, allin the same building and acces- sible from the inside. During the session one meets everybody at the Russell House.

{A considerable number of members always

board at the Russell, and many who have not rooms there, yet take their meals at the capital table of the heuse. Balls and din- ners are given there with great success ; and the proprietor spares no trouble in making his establishment the pleasantest in the country. Itis at the Russell that all the fun goes on ; mombers and strangers meet at the Russell for all sorts of appointments ; the Russell-is the centre of all the gossip : the Russell parlor is the resort of those who have ladies with thera, in fact the Russel is the only pleasant-place for persons residing at Ottawa for a month or two. The pro- prietor is always willmg to make. the most reasonable arrangements with parties who intend remaining for the session, or for any considerable period. During the present session the house has been full nearly all the time.-—Hx. Herald.

The Gof Slander.

Monrreat, April 22.—E.. H. Goff, of Canada Agricultural Insurance Company notoriety, was arrested this morning by the

Deputy High Constable; on three charges |

preferred by Mr. Tish, one of the Trustees of the above Company. Goff was taken to the police office and locked in the cell for nearly two hours while the city was scoured to find bail. Messrs. Alired Perry & Leath, assignee, were offered, but .the Police Mag- istrate refused) them. . Finally Perry and

_Chavles Berger were accepted in $400 each, jand Goff in $1,200 on each of the three

counts. Another warrantihas been issued for the arrest of Goff at the instance of G. H. Dumesuil, who charges that Goff forged in the minutes of the Board of Directors of the Canada Agricultural Insurance Coupany the following resolution :—

** Resolved, That inasmuch as the Comm- pany is indebted to Edward H. Goff, in the amount of $22;700, he is hereby authorized

to make.a draft.on the Company to the

amount. of said claim, and that Goff uttered the same fraudulently and feloniously, with intent to defraud, knowing it to be false.” Ex-Solicitor-General Baker ‘and his law partner, Mr. Buchannan, arrived in town this morning, and proceeded to the police office, where a deposition was at once sworn to by the Ex-Solicitor, charging James G. Stewart, managing director of the Herald,

The Nouveau Monde, commenting on the vote of the Senate on the constitutional question in Quebec, points out that the Senate is a more judicial body than the House of Commons, and says the large vote by which M.

Letellier was a member from Confedera- tion until he was raised to his present ‘posi- tion, and if- tyrannical passion has ‘not robbed him of all sensibility, he must feel keenly so striking a condemnation of ‘hig political crime.”

Tue deeds of brutality attributed to some beings of human form in this. world. are scarcely credible, The followgag para- graph, from the New York Sun, gives an iustance,¢f parental cruelty that would. de- grade the, brute creation :—‘‘ Officer Chi- ardi, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, appeared before J us- tice Duffy with an Italian, who ealled. him- self Luigi Carigini, of 14 Baxter Street. The man, who had been begging, was ac- companied by a girl of eight summers, who was totally blind, and carried a tambourine, which she used as a receptacle for the alms ofiered her. .The girl's eyes looked as | though they had been destroyed by a .white heat. Officer Chiardi says that the process is one of burning or destroying the sight. by means of a red hot, poker, moved .up,and down, many, times while the. children’ are young. This effectually destroys? the sight, and its them for becoming ‘ blind .:beg:.

Tue palin for grand enterprise must be awarded to the genius of France. M. de Les- sep, who built the Suez Canal after years of discouraging struggles, and jealous opposi- tion from Kuropeen Cabinets ; Frenchmen have urged on the sinking of the tunnel under the British Channel, to a commence- ment, and now a Frenchman, M. Paul So- leilet, has broached the project of building a railroad across the’ desert of “Sahara to Timbuctoo, and’ beyond. “ He considers the work quite “feasitle, and that the road would prove a paying institution. Ina paper read before the ‘Society of Civil En- 'gineers at Paris, he estimated the cost at

labout eight hundred: millions of francs.

‘The common notion of the Sahara, he said,. was, wholly erreneous; the climate was healthful and the soil good; in the days of the Carthagenian: it was pedpled and cul

tivated. In shor; his proposed road, be

sides opening new markets for French wares and carrying civilization on wheels into the very heart of Africa, would -result imme- diately in the reclamation of a fertile-re-. gion as large astle whole of Europe, with
