The crew were preparing to discharge the cargo and the mate was in the hold showing the men their different posi- tious. Hobbleknas being unable to under- stamd Wrelish, the mate beckoned him to take a certain position which appeared not to be aceeptable to him. He did not take it, and—owing to a lack of the Russian language—the mate could not compel him by force of words. He accordingly put his hand on his shoulder and pushed him to- ward his place. The Russian was big and heavy,—-he did not arrive im his p?oper po- sition, and another push was necessary. On receiving the second he drew forth a large sheath knife and, holding it in his right hand, stood waiting for the third push. The mate, not wishing to be overruled by the presence of a kuife, attempted to kick the Russian, whereupon he caught him (the mate) by the heel of the boot and plunged the knife into his (the mate’s) right leg and ripped it toward the knee, leaving «a gash about five inches long and an inch and one half deep. The mate was taken to the cabin and a surgeon called to dress the wound. The Russian was given in charge of the police. His trial was postponed this forenoon on account of the mate’s inability to appear at the Court. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. “THE SITUATION, (Special Despatch to Examiner. Lonpon, April 24r The Vienna Political Correspondence says: ‘* Negotiations between the Russian head- quarters and Admiral Hornsby for simul- taneous withdrawal, have remained at a complete stand-still for the last few days, and it is reported that General Todelben has brought fresh instructions, so that the resumption of these negotiations will pos- sibly be attempted.” Gortschakoff will probably be prevented from resuming his duties for sometime. The idea has been revived in the summon- ing of Count Shoubaloff to discharge Prince Gortschakoff’s functions, ad irterim. The Times’ leading editorial says, con- cerning this: ‘ Russia appears to be ready to make numerous concessions, provided she can substitute for common European interests in Turkey a, set of isolated and conflicting interests, and can thus emanci- pate herself no loss the turkey from direct obligations.towards Bugope. It is this dis- position against’ which Wwe ‘must persistently protest; and if Russia really seeks a peace- ful issue to the present complications, she must recognize the principles she has ac knowledged on former occasions. Let her only do that, and concessions even less than she offers might in some respects satisfy this countyy, The point at issue now is, whether Russia will recognize that the rights of the Great Powers as established by the treaties of 1856 and 1871l,take precedence ‘of the claims of the claims of the treaty of San Stefano.
