Sr. Pererssurs, Dec. 6.

As the first fruits of the change in the Finance Ministry the *‘ Official Messenger’ publishes an Imperial ukase abolishing the duty on salt, which will greatly benefit the poor classes.

It is reported that the plague has ap- peared in Moscow.

Lonpbon, Dee. 6,

Wallace Ross challenges Laycock to row a race over the Thames Championship course for £200 a side, two months from the time of signing articles of agreement, a condition being that if Laycock beats Han- jan in the match, which will take place on January 17, 1881, the race shall also be for the ‘‘ Sporteman ” Challenge Cup.

Atuens, Dec. 6.

In the Chamber of Deputies, the Prime Minizter, replying tothe comments of the Opposition, exhorted members to abandon mutual recri:nination as the country was on the eve of a supreme crisis. He said his programme was the mobilization of the army, and preparation to carry out very soon the decision of the Berlin Conference, but that the Government does not make assistance from the Powers an indispensible condition to taking action.

Lenpon, Dec. 6.

The Times this morning says the Royal Geographica! Society is about to appoint a Committee, the first business of which will be to collect and arrange all information accumulated since the return of the expedi- tion under “aptain, now Sir George, Nares in 1876. If the Society conclude that the time has arrived for a fresh effort, they will probably appeai to the Government for funds. We doubt if the time for great and expensive expeditions has not gone past. We see no reason why our Geographical Society should hold aloof from the scheme fovored by other countries for establishing a number of permanent stations around the North Pole.

W aTeRPorD, IreLanp, Dee. 6.

In his speech at the great land meeting here yesterday, Mr. Parnell denounced the Government, which he said was too weak with tlre Land subject, and hoped to crush the moveme.t by depriving the people of their representatives in Parliament. ‘* But,” he continued, nothing now could put dewn the agitation until the tiller of the soil became its owner.’”’ Mr. Parnell charged the Government with entering into a conspiracy against the Irish people,

and said that the mild justice of revenge (meaning assassination) was only attempted in the green Isle

when there was no. organization (mean- ing Boycotting.) The proposition to confer the freedom of the city on Mr. Par- nel! was carried with considerable opposi- tion. The result ef the opposition, how- ever, was that the dissenting members of the Municipal Couneil have been more er jess ‘* Boyeotted.” Wholesale intimida- tion was exercised to compel their co-cpera- tion to make arrangements for the recep- tion of Mr. Parnell. ~The windows of sev- eral establishments were smashed when it became known that their owners would not join in the popular movement, and in two cases watch had been constantly kept to see that no business was done. The in- habitants had to join in the rejoicings or have their houses attacked and trade des- troyed. The result was that every business house was decorated with flags.

Greece and the Situation.

The latest advices state that serious ap- prehensions are now entertained as to the course likely » be adopted by Greece on the withdrawal ef tHe allied fleets. The time is at hand for the dispersal of the

uadrons ; aud Russia alone shows any willingness to unite with England in a fur- ther demonstration. Greece thus threat- ens, as soon as the fleets are dispersed, to make an attack on Thessaly and Epirus, and then precipitate a conflict with Tur- key, which she is not strong enough, single handed, to sustain. This would create a most embarrassing situation for England. England can neither stand by and see, Greece beaten, nor help her without bring- ing on a general European war, for which England herself is unprepared, and to which the country is totally opposed. Great efforts are niaking to induce Greece to wait on events until next spring. But the Greeks think this the golden moment for them, and they are disinclined to lose it to oblige Great Britain. Very warm repre-

sentations have been made to the Greek Government, urging moderation and de- | lay. The position causes much anxiety in | Ministerial circles, especially as affairs in) Ireland show no signs whatever of improve- | ment. The King of Greece has half pro-| mised to keep his troops in check until the | first of March, but his sincerity is doubted. |
