The Naval Demonstration Fails.

(Special Despaten to Halifax Herald ).

Lonvox, Sept. 30.—The Cabinet is atil! in session, deliberating regarding the Kast- ern Question. Nearly all the Ambassadors resident in this city have called, during the afternoon, at the Foreign Office. Lord Lyons returned this forenoon, unexpected- ly, from Paris, to confer with Lord Gran- ville previous to the Cabinet meeting. He is believed to have an important proposi-| tion to make. A Constantinople dispatch says the determined obstinacy of the Sul- tan causes great surprise, as he is a very timid man who does not venture beyend the limits of his well-guarded pleasure —— The Ambassadors of the Powers

ave met and signed a Protucol, setting forth the cemplete disinterestedness with which they pursue the execution ef the Berlin treaty. The signatories to the Pro- tocol engage that any arrangement, result ing from their joint action concerning Montenegre, and eventually Greece, none of them will seek any increase of terri- tory, exclusive influence or commercial ad vantage, not equally obtained by the other nations interested. Outside of official circles here this is regarded as a retrogade movement, Among the English and Ger- man residents, and Diplomatists, the Pro- tucol is spoken of as both weak and disin- genuous, and yet as having grown not un- natutally ont of the existing situatien. The naval demonstration, which was vauntingly described when first proposed, as certain to inspire the Porte with awe, and to ent the negutiations short by a show of the teeth of united Europe, is now conceded to be a failure. The grand oppertunity has been lost by hesitation and delays. No court in Europe knew better than the Porte that the Powers thoroughly distrusted each other, and that each was waiting to throw the responsibility of the initiative upon the others, and to come in at least for a share of the plunder without being technically any worse for beginning hostilities. This knowledge, taken together with the hesita- tion of the Prince of Montenegro to occupy Dulcigno in accordance with his agree- ment, stiffened the resolution ef the Porte to make a positive stand and to quietly instruct Risa Pasha to make a feint against the Albanians, but not to render any actual help to Montenegro. The demonstration has thus failed through the want of unity among the powers. The hands of the commanders of the vessels of the fleet were all practicably tied by their preliminary in- structions, and the French and German courmmanders were forbidden to fight under any circumstances. ap -

A Bird’s-Eye View of Dulcigno.

This little Albanian seaport, which has suddenly become the engrossing object of Evropean diplomacy, resembles its north- ern neighbor, Ragusa, in possessing two harbors. ‘The ene nearest the town is, hewever, small and shallow, and could not accommodate vessels larger than 200 tous. The other harbor—Val di Noce—is for Dul- cigno what Gravesa is for Ragusa, and can shelter the largest vessels. But the en- trance is tronblesome on account of the narrow channel. and so for seme time past the steamers of the Austrian Lloyd have been accustemed to stop at San Giowanni de Medua--a proceeding which has had a damaging effect on the prosperity of Dul- cigne, as the port of Seutari. In 1860 Dulcigno pessessed 190 sea-going craft; at present it has not more than between 80 and 90 vessels engaged eaclusively iii a coasting trade. Formerly,before the exist- ence of a distinct Austrian fleet Dulcigno was a notorious} pirate’s nest, which shel- tered fully 400 corsair vessels. But from 1815, when cruisers first hoisted the Aus- trian flag, the number of these vessels rapidly diminished, and those whic remain- ed were transformed into trading craft. These, again, all but disappeared during the Greek War of Independence, being destroyed by the Greek corsairs. The old and new towna at Dulcigno are divided from each other by the small harber. The former, which includes the for- tressess, has not now more than eighty houses, half of which are unin- habited. The fortress, surrounded by walls of great strength, is ne longer of any impertance ; medern artillery wou:d com- mand it from the heights ef Moschura and Klomsa. The new towng has about 400 houses. There are ab ,800 Mahome- dan inhabitants, 12 $ families reck- ening about $0 in elonging to the orthodox Greek Chun it Roman Catholic families reckoning ns, and about a dozen huts inhabited gipsies. It is only since 1858 that Christians have been allowed to live in Dulcigno. The town, which is called by the Albanians Ulkun, by the Turks Olgun, by the Ser- vians Ulshin, bore in ancient times the name of Ulcinium, and previously Ulechi- nium. Pliny tells us it was founded by fugitives from Colchis, who gave it the name of Colchinium. After the division ot the empire, Dulcigno fell to the rulers of the East, and remained till the 11th cen- tury subject to Constantineple. In 1180 the Servians ebtained possession of Dnil- cigne, and held it till 1408 ; the Venetians then acquired it, and held it till 1571, when the Turks, under Achmet Pasha, took it. The Venetians made several at- tempts to regain Dulcigno, notably in 1718, under Schulenburg. From that date the Turks remained in undisputed occupation till 1878, when 2 Montenegrin force, under

Plamenac, took it by storm. On that oe-

casion 1,000 men of the Turkish garrisen were killed, and 500 taken prisovers. Three cvlora, five guns, and 1,500 muskets became the spoil of the victors, who had 180 men killed and 300 wounded. Durin the assault, the town was set on fire, aid the greater part of it burnt'down. Subse- quently the Montenegrins endeavored to conciliate the inhabitants df Dulcigno.

The M@gntreai Witness in noticing the Matiitoba’exhibits says—‘‘The contrast be- tween the exhibits of agricultural produce raised in this province with the Manitoba exhibit was so apparent that even the most ardent friends of the Prairie Province could not help’ noticing the very inferior position which the latter held in its agrieul- tural display as compared with Quebec, A few of the samples of spring wheat shown in the Manitoba exhibit was very fine, being superior to anything grown in Quebec but the greater part of the wheat and all the othor grains from the North West were inferior to the samples grown in the vicin- ity of Montreal, while the roots brought from Manitoba, excepting the onion, were along way behind. We have been accus- tomed of late, te consider Manitoba as being far ahead ef the eastern provinces in its capability of producing superior grain, reots and vegetables, but if we are to judge by the exhibit made here lately, the Prairie Province must be considered as taking an inferior position in an agricultu- ral point of view, while it still retains ite ancient superierity in the production of furs and Indian curiosities—just the state of things which the Hudson Bay Company forinerly always represented as that prevail- ing in that country.”

At the Montreal Exhibition they had an artificial incubator, consisting of only a ci¥- cular box, the centre space where the eggs are hatched being surrounded by two cham- bers, one of which contains hot water, and the other a variety of substances packed into it for the purpose of retaining the heat. By this means the old-fashioned fire is dispensed with, and the machine only requires a fresh supply of boiling water once every twelve hours. Its tem- perature is kept at 40 degrees. The ex- hibiter stated that fifty out of the sixty eggs previously placed in the machine hatched ‘ton time.” Tuesday last, on the ovcasion of the visit of the Governor Gen eral, the usual twenty-one days being re- quired for incubation. The Maritime farm- ers de not yet recognize all the importance of the patent incubator in raising quantities of fowl cheaply. They must. s», however.

An Ottawa cleapatch says the stock of the Globe newspaper has passed out of the hands of the Brewu family, and has falien into the possession, it is said, of Donald A. Smith, Winnipeg ; Allan Gilmour, Ottawa; Wim. Me- Master, of Bank of Commerce; Geo. Stevens, of Bank of Montreal; Jas. Nelson, Edinburgh; Robert Jaffery, Teronto; Alderman Ryan, and Northrop and Lyman, druggists. Ne prominent Reformer has any interest in the paper, which is now under the control of a iat of speculators. Gordon Brown wiil be re- tained as editer under the direction of those above mentioned.

The Fiji Islanders, who up te six years ago, when England sdopted them, were cannibals, and indulged in fricassed traders with cold wissionary on the sideboard, have become so civilized that they wear clean shirts on Sundays, sing hymns, and eat yams, and beefsteak like any orthodox Christain. What with cecoanuts, cocvanut fibre, cotton, sugar and coffee to export, and a luxuriant soil to grow all these pro- ductgin, the colony ought te have a grand future. { 4
