[tis stated that Russia is about to relin- quish the clause of the treaty which guaran- tees the passage of the army through Rou- mania, and will send a delegate to treat directly with Roumania on the subject.
Rome, April 10.
The minister of foreign affairs in the Chamber of Deputies said that Italy was totally free from any engagements except those devolving from treaties which are con- stituted the public law of Europe. The progress of negotiations between Europe and the Cabinets afforded grounds for be- lieving that peaceful settlements would be made in any event. Italy would preserve a strict neutrality.
Vienna, April 10.
The ‘‘ Fremdenblatt”’ says that peace can only be obtained by Russia modifying the treaty of San Stefano in conjunction with other powers.
The press considers that England has already gained 2 moral victory for herself and Europe.

4 HIT AT M. LETELLIER AND HIS FRIENDS.
(Correspondence to Toronto Mail.)
The House had a good laugh this after- noon provoked by one of Sir John McDon- ald’s happy jnots. M. Laflamme introduced a bill to amend the Penitentiary Act. In the most serious way, Sir John rose and asked the Premier if he had received the Governor-General’s assent for the submis- sion of the Bill to the House. Mr. La- flamme looked at the Premier and the Pre- mier looked at Mr. Laflamme, and ‘the Pre- mier hesitatingly said ‘“‘ lt is not neces- sary,’ and Mr. Blake echoed ‘ It is not necessary. ‘: Oh,” aid Bir John! “T am quite of that opinion, but the Lieut Governor of Quebec seems to think that every measure of his Gevernment should have his approval before being introduced. The House readily saw the joke and laugh- ed immoderately.
‘*a NEW
I have reason to believe that M. De Boucherville has completed a reply to M. Letellier’s ‘‘explanatory note,” and that the Governor-General has consented to receive it. I have no means of knowing how or when it will be made public, but there is good authority for stating that before M. Letellier’s note was in his Excellency’s pos- session fifty thousand copies of it were printed off and lavishly scattered through- out every parish in Quebec.
MEDIUM.”
the people of his Province. A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Government had a narrow escape from defeat to-night-on M. Frechette’s motion fora Select Committee to secure a better translation of the British North America Act—being sustained by a majority of only sixteen. Ona former occasion Sir John Macdonald pointed out that the exist- ing translation ran through the statutes, and that, at all events, until they were being consolidated it would be inconvenient and improper to have a new translation. To please their friend, M. Frechette, how- eyer, and give the work of translation to M. Frechette’s brother, the Government sup- ported the motion. Had all the Opposition members voted against the motion the pro- bability is that the Government would have been defeated. Their narrow escape may have the effect of making them a little more careful during the remainder of the session.
THE P. E. I. RAILWAY.
Mr. Pope created considerable amuse- ment last evening by reading a letter from the manager of the P. E. I. Railway to an Opposition editor (Gorman of the Progress) who applied for a pass to accompany the press excursionists, telling him that passes were only issued to ‘‘friendly editors, who would treat the railway and its officers courteously.” Mr. Pope said $6,500 was charged for fencing last year, enough to fence the whole road, and yet less th thirty miles were fenced.
KAMINISTIQUIA.
The Premier, Mr. Mackenzie having in January, 1876, announced that he requir- ed a certain tract of land for railway pur- poses. Oliver, Davison & Co., in the fel- lowing July deliberately proceeded to erect a ‘* hotel” there, which, says the builder, costs $2,000 at the outside. Mr. McKenzie then buys it of them, their Mr. Brown vir- tually conducting beth the sale and pur- chase for $5,029. This is what is known in Reform circles as practical statesmanship.

One may very | well fancy what Lord Dufferin must think of being madé the medium by a Lieutenant- | Governor of issuing a political manifesto to |
(for this moist country) for the past few weeks; but the last day or two has been colder. On Sunday last the morning was fine, but at3 p.m. a heavy snowsquall came on very suddenly, scattering the boats on the river and clearing the streets of loungers. And next morning the current subject of conversation was the loss of H. M. 8. Eury- dice, a training ship, on a homeward bound cruise. She left Bermuda three weeks ago, and was passing the Isle of Wight under all sail, expecting tc ancher at Spithead in an hour or two, when the squall struck her and she capsized directly, only two persons being saved out of her crew of three hun- dred. CLEOPATRAS NEEDLE.
The obelisk still is moored in the river off the embankment. A great many sites have been proposed for it. to be erected on. A medical man writes thus respecting it:‘‘It’s previous history, hieroglyphies and attend- ant associations make the monolith as un- suited to the Thames’ banks as a factory chimmey to a coral reef. Does not every- thing, even climate, point to Egypt as its appropriate site! There accordingly I beg to suggest it be placed.”
“Truth,” in noticing the letter says, ‘‘I like this medical men, for his note paper is headed with his coat of arms; they are a duck with the motto, “Quack, Quack, Quack.”
ONE OF BISMARCK'S JOKES,
The same journal also quotes slhona of Prince Bismarck apropos of England and Russia. Said the Prince, ‘Horses and fish cannot fight ;” but he adds : ‘“‘but surely,the dialogue between the Angel and the Prophet in the Book of Esdras, is far more to the point :—
He (the Angel) answered me, and said,
I went into a forest, into a plain, and the trees took counsel, and said, come let us go and make war agains? +h) con, that htaay depart from before us, and that we may make more woods, '
The floods of the sea also in like manner took counsel, and said, Come, let us go up and subdue the woods of the plain, that there also we may make another country.
The thought of the wood was in vain, for the fire came and consumed it.
The thought of the floods of the sea came likewise to nought, for sand stood up and stopped them.”
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
The Eastern Question, of course, fills the papers, and the theatres and streets teem with songs alluding to it. One which you may have heard has one yerse something like this :— ‘* We don’t want to fight, we don't ; But, by jingo, if we do,
We've got the arms, we’ve got the meu— And we've got the money too.”
Another version has :—
** We don’t want to fight, we don’t ; Bunt, by jingo, if we do,
Ve’ll have two shillings on the income tax— And a jolly good licking too.”
The ‘‘ Church Times” begins an article by saying : ‘* Althouyh we don’t swear by the war god jingo;” aul some of the French papers are curious to know who jingo is.
BAKER PASHA.
Col. Valentine Baker (Baker Pasha) has returned to London, and it is said has dined with the Prince of Wales. Some of the papers hope the saying may be contradicted.
A CLEVER SKETCH.
One of the clever sketches in the shop windows contains the four principal parties to the coming Congress. The Czar, the Sultan, John Bull and the Emperor Francis Joseph ; and underneath the words ** Who will solve the Eastern Question,” then the whole thing folds up and shows, as the an- swer, ‘‘ Bismarck.”
FASHIONABLE COLORS.
London fog, London smoke, Damascus blade, lizard green, golden lizard, toast, beetle brown, wood moss, copper, Floren- tine bronze, Spanish sky, black pearl, flesh pink and almond green area few of the fashionable colors this spring. Beads are used a great deal in trimming,—moonlight beads being the latest novelty.
TRADE.
‘he shop windows are filled with new spring materials, but there is a universal eomplaint of dullness of trade.
ANTI-CONFESSIONAL,
A great anti-confession memorial has just been presented to the Queen. It seems strange, after reading “that your memarial ists, as sincerely attached to the National Church of their fathers, view, with deep alarm,” &c., to find the list of memorialistsa headed by His Highness the Maharajah Dulup Singik. Many of the secular papers comment strongly on the way the petition is said to have been got up, and ask whether the statement is true “that the memorial was taken to a young ladies’ boarding- school, where all the pupils were ordered to sign, and were told not to give the school as their jaddress, but their home residences ; and also that in the case of two sisters,their
served the German, ‘‘ youmust be an Eng-
lishman, because no German ever picked up
a purse and said anything about it.” My
correspondent, who sends me the story, re-
joices that our national character has not lost its prestige. But, may not the Ger- man have perceived, by his companions ac- cent, that he was an Englishman and wished to pay him a compliment! Moreover, the German seems to me to have been as honest as the Englishman, otherwise, he would promptly have replied, thatthe purse was his. Vox. A Gallant Nova Scotian.
THE LOSS OF THE “‘LAURETTA”—ADMIRABLE MANAGEMENT BY THE OFFICERS OF THE INMAN STEAMER ‘‘CITY OF NEW YORK.”
On the 27th of February a serious col- lision occured in the English Channel, by which the Nova Scotian brigantine Lawretta was immediately sunk. The Lowretta was bound for Liverpool, and the City of New York was on her trip Eastward. At 3.40 a.m. the Lawretta struck the steamer on the port bow, breaking one of the plates about five feet from the water line. In an instant the life boats were lowered, under orders of the experienced commander of the City of New York, and the Lauretta was found in a sinking condition. The work of saving her crew was proceeded with, and in a few minutes all were saved, the last one having been taken from the wreck after cutting away a portion of the deck.
The City of New York cruised about the neighborhood until 6.50 a. m., and as no more were to be rescued, proceeded to her destination. The crew of the Lawretta re- ceived the best of care and attention at the hands of the officers of the City of New York, and many expressions of thankful- ness weew heard from the lips of all. The boats of the Lawretta had been lost in the storm of the few days previous, and the officers and men of the Inman. steamer de- serve great praise for their noble conduct, and special praise is due to 3d officer Pas- sow, who rescued the last man through the most heroic exertions, by cutting away a part of the deck when the vessel was almost engulphed in the water.

TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN AND OFVICERS.
Sarurpay, April 6.—During a trip of the steamer ‘* Northern Light” from George- town, P. E. L, to Pictou, N. 5., extending over three days of the first week of April, a meeting of the passengers was held in the cabin, at which the following resolution was unanimously adopted :—
