Special Dispatch to Examiner.

Lonpon, March 10.

At the peace demonstration in Hyde Park to-day, Bradlaugh and Herbert made speeches and evened resolutions in favor of peace, which passed immediately.

Soon afterwards the supporters of the Government policy arrived in force, and the meeting was declared dissolved; : radlaugh was cudgelled, and fled in a cab.

According to the largest estimates, the number of persons who attended the peace demonstration was about 2,000. hey were hustled about the Park and finally ejected by a larger and disorderly mob. Stieks were freely used, and several men were slightly hurt and taken to hospitals. The mob then separated, cheering for Lord Beaconsfield and Musuras Pasha. A large crowd cheered and groaned before Glad- stone’s residence ; Mr. Gladstone and his wife, when going to church, were obliged to take refuge in a friend’s house, whence they were escorted by the police.

_ Prince Tesk was mistaken for Count Schowvaloff, Russian Ambassador, and in- sulted and jostled by the mob.

Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to the Greenwich Liberal Association, stating that he would not contest Greenwich at the next general election, in consequence of a grow- ing sense of his inability to discharge all the duties that constituency may reasonably ex- pect from one of its representatives.

A special to the Times from San Stefano says that it is stated that Rouf Pasha will ask a remission of 30,000,000 dollars of the indemnity.

The Sultan has ratified the treaty. It is reported that the last clause is that Russia and Turkey will regard the treaty as sol idairc, implying that they will not recognize the right of any power to interfere with the terms except as regards the qnestion of straits and the settlement of the boundaries of Montenegro.

A Vienna despatch to the Daily News announces that the peace congress will open March 31st. It is proposed that the three Emperors meet after the congress.

A Pera special to the Times says that the question of the visit of the Grand Duke Nicholas to Constantinople resulted ina compromise —his visit is to be less ostenta- tious than at first proposed.
