Lonpon, Oct. 29. A Berlin correspondent thinks if Igna- tieif declines the throne of Bulgaria, which seems probable, it is likely that Prince Doudoudoff Korsakoff, the present Govern- or, who aims at the union of Roumelia and Bulgaria, will be elevated thereon.

Bern, Oct. 29. It has now transpired that a strong Rus-

TOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31 i878

sian force was concentrated on the Bok-. hara frontier until the close of the Berlin '

Congress, in readiness to enter Afghanis- tau. It is reported that the Russians are far from resuming retreat on Adrianople. They are reoccupying places which they evacuated, especially Kessan, near the Gulf of Saros.

A Vienna despatch says for the present 18,000 Turkish troops operate against the Bulgarian insurgents.

Lonpon, Oct. 29.

A despatch from Vienna says England had addressed a protest to Russia against her non-execution of the Treaty of Berlin, but the ‘“Times,” in its leading editorial article, while admitting that the time had come when some step must be taken, thinks a collective representation of the powers will be most effectual, and believes France, Anstria and Germany, will not hesitate to combine with England in protecting the provisions of the treaty.

Twelve Austrian officers left Vienna yes- terday for Teheran to reorganize the Per- sian army on the model of the Austrian army.

The inquiry made by the Board of Trade into the ‘‘Princess Alice” disaster has re- sulted in acquittal of the captain and en- gineers of the Bywell Sastle and the censur- ing of the mate of the ‘‘Princess Alice” for carelessness.

Giascow, Oct. 29.

Workmen in five shipbuilding establish- ments have struck.

Notices have been posted in the Kilsyth district collieries announciug a further re- duction in a fortnight of six pence per day. Men now are only receiving 3s. 6d. to 4s. per day for only five days per week, and many families are destitute.

The Crown authorities have decided to charge the directors of the Glasgow Bank with embezzlement in addition to falsehood, fraud and imposition. Under this new in- dictment baii is not admissable.

Don Carlos, in a letter to ex-Queen Isa- bella, congratulating her on,the escape of King Alphonso, declares that demagogy shrinks from nothing in its attempts to de- stroy even princes whom it has itself placed on the throre, and who are forced, perhaps unwillingly, to be its slaves.

French capitalists took three months’ bills here yesterday as low as 5 per cent. discount. In Paris open market the rate of discount was 24 to 3}.

The next Bank of Engiand returns are expected to show favorable changes, £314, . 000 having gone into the Bank from abroad since Thursday, and £100,000 from Scot- land and £500,000 from the East being ex- pected to-day. Further freturns both of gold and notes from Scotland are antici- pated.

The Zimes is apprehensive the money market is not safe from American and Ger- man demands for gold. The Afghan affair may require the Government to send silver to India. The Indian market for silver is now bare, and the demand thus created would raise the price and so bring out Ger- man stock which is believed to be still large.

Lonpon, Oct. 28.

The Times’ editorial on the change in the Canadian Ministry says :—‘‘If anything is done to mend, make or shape a commercial treaty with us for admitting the products of the Union on exceptionally favorable terms, this will be by reciprocity, though by way of forcing the hands of the Washington Government higher duties may be tried first. A differential tariff would thus be contemplated under which commodities from Pennsylvania would enter Canada at lower duties than the same commodities from Germany, France or even Britain. Such a treaty could not be negotiated, still less ratified, without the consent of the Crown. This raises a very delicate ques- tion, viz:—how far the limits of self Goy- ernment in Canada extend, and if the trea- ties we have made with other nations allow us to authorize unequal duties in our colon- ies. No doubt as far as our hands are free we shall concede to Canada the utmost lib- erty to fall into error, still we shall not ac- quiesce in this result without expostulation andjremonstrance. We have never conceal- ed the truth that Free Trade between Can- ada and the United States would be fraught with immense advantage to both countries, but to try to develop an intechange of commerce by first blocking out the produc- tions of the United States on the strength of the common place arguments of protec-

ition is snicdal.

Lonpon, Oct. 29,

At a meeting of the agricn]tural laborers yesterday, to protest against the proposed reduction of wages in Kent and Sussex, it was stated that a thousand laborers had al- ready struck, and that the number would be inereased to three thousand in a few days if the masters persisted in their design. Between ten thousand and fifteen thousand will ultimately be affected in the two coun- The laborers declare that the course

of the farmers is oppressive, and threaten to emigrate to the Colonies.

The Manchester Guardian publishes stat- istics showing that about 60 per cent. of the |

looms and spindles in the Lancashire and Cheshire cotton districts have stopped work or are all working on short time. Vienna, Oct. 29. Although the efforts to form the Pretis Ministry have hitherto been unsuccessful, the impression prevails that they will triumph. Lonvon, Oct. 29. Bark Carrie passed at sea, abandoned, on 22nd inst., ship Anglo Saxon, possibly from

‘Dublin for Quebec.

3eLFasT, Oct. 29, Lord Dufferin arrived to-day and was re- ceived by the Council and escorted to the Town Hall, where addresses were presented. Lonpon, Oct. 29. As H. B. M.’s Steamer Black Prince is too slow to escort the Steamer Sarmatian, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorne, who are to sail in the latter vessel for Can- ada, will proceed without an escort.

New York, Oct. 29.

A London despatch says the air is hea with rumors concerning the illness of Lord Beaconsfield. The Cabinet is summoned to consider what should be done in the case of His Lordship’s death. After the last meeting of the Cabinet he was attacked by

‘an epileptic fit and he was compelled to re-

main for several hours in the waiting room before it was eonsidered safe to transfer him to a carriage. He was driven to his home in charge cf a physician, who has since admitted he had fears of fatal results from the fatigue of this means of transport. A bulletin this morning announces that Lord Beaconsfield is in better health.

New York, Oct. 29.

But four deaths from yellow fever in New Orleans yesterday, and five at Mem- phis.

The report that the United States authorities intend to make objection to the settlement reached in the fishery Award is confirmed by later enquiry.

Steamer Ludwig, of the Rotterdam line, which left Jersey City twenty-eight days ago, has not been heard from. The usual passage is eight days.

NorFork, Oct. 29,

Maltbis’ extensive fishery works at New Point were so badly damaged by the recent storm that work this season is abandoned. Three of his vessels were driven ashore dur- ing the gale and damaged. Three colored men were drowned while trying to reach the shore. One schooner is driven up into the woods for miles by the force of the storm.

EE eee The Political Outlook in Europe.

A London correspondent writes:—‘‘The political outlook is on all hands regarded as gloomy in the extreme. There are not many men of legislative note intown. The Reform Club still has its doors closed ow- ing to repairs, and its members are at pres- ent accommodated at the Devonshire. Less zeal is shown than usual by the leading men of both parties to address their con- stituencies, and the general consequence is apathy. But itis the apathy of forebod- ing and uncertainty. An uneasy feeling on all hands exists, an’ the inexperienced are asking what is likely to be the upshot. That a crash of some sort—a rearrangement of programmes—a new departure—is immin- ent, is, in the estimation of qualified per- sons, becoming more and more certain. Even Ministers themselves are supposed to have caught the contagion; and though, as I said yesterday, they are united, they can hardly be said to be hopeful. The Turk is troubling them. Good advice is freely offered to him, but he will not take it. Threats, promises and expostulations are lavished on him, but as yet they are falling upon a duck’s back. No heed is paid to Sir Henry Layard in spite of his Cassandra warnings.”

The pruning knife is, we are glad to learn, being already applied. We referred, afew days ago, to the appointment to a position in the Custom House at this port, since the election, of Mr. Marchand, brother of the Provincial Secretary, at a salary of $1,200 4 year; and to the further fact that this appointment had been made in spite of the protest of the Collector that the services of the officer were not required. Mr. Bowell has already cancelled the ap- pointment, on grounds simply of economy. We understand that Mr. Bowell, who has been temporarily in charge of the Inland Revenue Department, has settled some matters in it which were left unsettled by the late Minister.—Montreal Gazette.
