Tue St. John Telegraph remarks that the appearance of Lord Dufferin in London has ex- cited no little commotion in Ministerial cir- cles. His Lordship’s return is due to circum- stances of a special character. Lord Dufferin was suspected of making the tour of Europe on ‘‘particular seryice.” It is now known beyond doubt that His Lordship left England presumably to return to St. Petersburg, but in reality for the purpose of executing a spe- cial commission intrusted to him in Europe by Lord Beaconsfield. The quidnuncs ure excit- ed, and, indeed, every one is waiting on the tiptoe of curiosity for the secret to be dis- closed,

Tue London Times has been endeavoring to lessen the forceof Mr. Gladstone’s speeches, but its West Calder correspondent has the following in reference to the effect produeed at that place: ‘t The Gladstone fever has fairly taken hold of the people—of high and low, of old and young, of women not less firmly than of men. Gladstone, like the east wind, is in the air, and the former seems te make the latter tolerable. Delicate ladies equally with robust men defy the elemenis in their devotion to the hero of the hour, They stand literally for hours in the muddy streets and at gusty corners, in the dim light of gas lamps, as cheerfully as in the broad light of day, on the chance or in the hope of catching a passing glimpse of the sharp features and white locks of the popular favorite.

Yae London ‘Daily News” special corres- pondent gives a full account cf the defeat of the Russian force in its attempt to capture the Tekke stronghold at Denghil Tepe. It was estimated that the enemy consisted of 15,000 fighting men, without counting the cavalry— some three thousand or four thousand. ‘lhe resistance made by this force was most. In one case about six hundred men, who were de- fending some huts, fell after a desperate hand- to-hand combat. Towards evening the Tekkes assumed the offensive and made a fierce on- slaught against ‘the Russians, whieh was, however, repulsed. At ten o’clock at night the Russian force was silently drawn off and the retreat commenced. Itis stated that the Russian loss amounted to 450 men, of whom 200 were killed or died subsequently of their wounds,

Prince ALEXANDER of Bulgaria is said to be tired already of his newly-acquired throne. When he asked Bismarck’s advice about ac- cepting the proffered sovereign dignity, the Chancellor said: ‘‘Your Highness is still a young man. At the worst you will always find m this a pleasing reminiscence.” The ‘‘reminiscence,’’ it is now reported, is likely to be very soon areality. The internal condition of the principality is discouraging. The Turk- ish subjects, most industrious, skilled laborers, are emigrating in large numbers, leaving an impoverished Christian population to bear the burdens of disordered national finances and 6ther evil legacies of a bloody war; there have been bad harvests and the rinderpest ; robber bands roam about the country; and frequent instances of violence and outrage on the part of the peasantry against the Mahommedans ‘an1 Jews are recorded. Alexander wishes he were second licutenant again at Potsdam.

Tue Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch have been celebrating their golden wedding. Tie ‘*bold Buccleuch” is the premier Duke o1 Scotland in wealth and social and political weight, though not in heraldic degree. He has been a Cors rvative for half a century, was a member of Sir Robert Peel’s Cabines, and has always subscribed large sums to the Conservative electioneering func, He is of immense wealth, lord of 450,000 acres, from which ne draws a rental of £250,000 a year. This stretch of territory seems petty, compar- ed with the domains of the Duke of Suther- land, who is master of over 1,200,000 acres, but the greater part of this is heath and bare rock. The Duke of Buccleuch, as father of the Earl of Dalkeith, whom Mr. Gladstone has ventured into the Heart of Mid-Lothian to encounter, will be no ordinary influence to overcome. Lord Rosebery, also of- immense wealth, of the same shire, leads the fight on Mr. Gladstone’s side, and it is diffi: ult to say how the struggle will end. Both speak with confidence, and both are erecting ‘‘ fagsot voters.”

Secretary Schurz, this afternoon, received a telegram from General Hatch, dated Los Pinos, Dec. 10th, stating that the Indians, in their request to be tried in Washingten, meant that they wanted to be tried by the General Government. They are willing to be tried anywhere out of Colorado. They stated, through Ouray, that they might as well be hanged to trees at the agency as to be taken to Denver. Ouray says the com- mission has demanded all the warriors men- tioned by the women, but that the women made some mistake which will be known at the trial, and that the proper persons will be secured and turned over. As soon as ascertained, they will turn over all persons mentioned by the women.

The National Board of Trade met this afternoon. Acommittee, appointed yester- day to consider the propriety of the re- enactment of the Natione] Bankrupt Law, submitted their report, holding that in such re-enactment tbere are two cardinal features which should be fully recognized, namely : First, that expenses incurred in administration of the law should be redne-

4 ed to the lowest possible figure, according

to a fixed schedule of charges ; second, that all exemptions allowed to debtors should be particularly specified in such law, and should be in lieu of all State emeptions.
