BY TELEGRAPH.

Daily Patriot. Vienna, April 25.

_A fresh difficulty has now occurred. Rus. Sia wishes to make a stipulation that in the case of war being declared after the troops have withdrawn to Adrianople, they shall » allowed six days in which to return, England, however, does not feel at all disposed to ac- cede to this, and proposes that three days be

ranted. Neither of the two Powers seems disposed to give way in this matter.

fresh outbreak in Ronmelia has decided Austria to consider a means of defence.

_The occupation of Bosina is considered ad- visable on military grounds, although it is not by any means certain that this measure will be adopted,

SAN STEFANO, April 25.

The Mussulman insurrection is spreading rapidly and promises to become a very serious affair, It is now extending all along the eastern valley of the River Arda and _ its tributaries.

Si. Prrerspure, April 25.

Gortschakoff has been confined to his bed by illness since Monday last, and serious ap- prehensions concerning him are beginning to be felt.

Despite the sensational announcements that war is inevitable, advices from all authentic sources merely show that the negotiations re- garding a Congress, and the withdrawal of the British fleet and Russian troops from Constan- tinople, still continue, although they have as yet led to no result.

It is considered very unfortunate that Bis- marck and Gortschakoff should both fall ill at this juncture.

In the uncertainty ef the pour parlers the Russians are doing their best to strengthen their position, aud advices from various cities corroborate each other in stating that there are considerable movements of troops towards Constantinople and Gallipoli,

Grit Honesty.

THE Grit -press seems to be about the same all over the Dominion. We find the following instance of Grit honesty in the last Mai! :—

**Tt will be in the recollection of the read- er that a very material portion of the ex- planations made in the Quebec Legislature, was suppressed in all the leading Govern- ment papers, They are at the work of falsification again. The Ottawa Free Press, the London Advertiser, and Montreal Herald deliberately change the text of Lieut. Goy- ernor Letellier’s memorial to the Governor General by causing him to state that the De Boucherville Government ‘resigned.’ The London Advertiser, in giving Mr. Letel- lier’s ‘ten reasons,’ changes the word ‘dis- missal’ in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 into ‘ resig- nation.’ The Montreal Herald does the same thing, and the Free Press of. this city sins in the same direction. No lower style. of political warfare could be conceived.” —_>—--—

The Business Failures.

—_——

The quarterly circular of Messrs. Dun, Wiman & Co., shows a_ rather unfavorable opening of the year in Canada and the United States. The number of failures in the Dominion in the first three months of 1878 was 555, with liabilities of $9,100,929, against 572 failures with liabilities of $7,- 576,511 in 1877, and 447 failures with liabilities of $7,417,238 in 1876. Of the 555 failures in the Dominion during the

uarter, 198 occurred in the Province of ice and 117 in the city of Montreal. The liabilities of the traders who failed in Montreal were $3,112,424, or about one- third of the total liabilities. The num- ber of failures in thé United States in the first quarter of the present year was 3,355, with liabilities of $82,078,826, against 2,859, with liabilities of $54,538,- 070 in 1877, and 2,806, with liabilities of $64,644,156 in 1876. Commenting on this showing, Messrs. Dun, Wiman & Co. say :--

‘‘We regret that it is not more encouragin in its aspect; but it should be ecthdahbuatd that we have passed through an exceptional winter, probably the worst that has been ex- perienced in its effect upon the general retail trade of the country during the past twenty years. The results anticipated from the ab- undant fcrop have not been realized, and stocks purchased to supply wants have been absolutely unsaleable, and, moreover, have had of necessity to be sacrificed. The shrinkage of resources during the past six months has undoubtedly, in the egate, been enormous, and has contributed to swell the figures of the failures for the past quarter.”

The prorogation of Parliament can scarcely be delayed, we should suppose, much longer. The busy spring has fully opened, and mem- bers of Parliament generally, yet remaining at Ottawa, must be getting anxious to return to their respective homes and private business affairs. There is considerable work yet, how- ever, on hand in the House—several Govern- ment and a number of private measures, Most of these will evidently have to be Less talk would have givena fair show of work as the result of the session.

An Acgep Nova Scorian.—The Toronto ‘- Globe” states that the 87th birth-day of Mr. Adam Bowlby, of Waterford, was cele- brated at the residence of his son, Mr. W. H. Bowlby, Berlin, Onztario, on the 29th ult. Mr. Bowlby was born in Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, on the 29th of March, 1792, and served in the war of 1812 as an officer in the militia cumpany commanded by his father, stationed as a coast guard to prevent the landing of privateers on the coast of Nova Scotia bordering on the Bay of Fundy, and consequently he is one of the participants in the recent grant of the Do. minion Parliament to the veterans of 1812. Mr. Bowlby settled in 1815 in the County of Norfolk, in Upper Canada, and acquired a large landed property in that Coun . where he continued to reside until a cou of years ago, when he went to Berlin, and since then has resided with his son, the County Crown Attorney. The old gentle- man is hale and h , and very active on on foot for one of his great age. Mr. Bowlby has numeroys relatives living in Annapolis County and other parts af Nova

Scotia.
