TUESDAY MORNING., OCTOBER 6. 1879.
ONE DAY LATER FROM ENGLAND.

berr Edwards, Capt. Sherbuine, from London,
which left Plymouth on the % Aug: having
been detained bv contrary winds, papers are
received containing London dates one day later
Verbal intelligence is also obtained from the
passengers Il is probable that The news re-
ceived at Philadelphia by Havre letter oil
August e6'h, is well founded, and thar CON
STANrINOPLE HAS BEEN TAKEN. One oi
the passengers Of the Robert Edwards saw, IN
the Reading Room, bulletin issued from the
London Royal Exchange announcing this event.
and it was generally believed a, Plymouth. A
London paper of The evening OF the 25'h slstes
that Telegraphic Despatch TO that effect had
bee n received at Paris. No mail from that city
n ad been received on that Gay. in consequence
of the inclemency Of the weather.
Three ships Of the line at Portsmouth had
been ordered TO sea, but their destination was
no, known.
The London papers stale, that orders have
been given to the captains OF packets between
Falmouth and Lisbon, to permit the search oi
their vessels, by the Portuguese authorities
BY this permission, the Portuguese may take
from. British vessels any Portuguese subjects
charged with offences against the stale.
4 new consul had been appointed for Lisbon
The London Traveller Of 25lh Aug. has the
following remarks:
alt is more than probable that the fate Of
Constaninople is by this time determined; and
notwithstanding all that We have heard from
time 10 time about the enormous power Of Rus
STA, and the danger OF disturbing The equili'
brium OF Europe, i, is quite evident, from the
comparative indifference with which the popu.
lation Of This country avail, the event, that they
tee no disposition 20 panic, after all The predic'
lions.
Just so we thought i: would be. But can
any thing prove more decisivrIy the confidence
which is felt in the present Administration ! il
rhey had been weak or wavering-if there was
any reason 10 suspect them Of want OF prud' nee
of foresight, what outcries should we hear
amongst the disco JGgnteG on the approach al
the Russian army 10 the gates Of Constantine
Pile!
But if The people have confidence in the Mi
nis,ers, SO have The Ministers shown conf
drnce in the resources Of the eosasry, which
can at any time Gall upon Russia 10 fulfil her
engagements, in an attitude not only Of per-
suasIon but command. That Russia will fulh
her promises is probable, If for no other rea-
son, for this that it is her interes: to fulfil tuem
She knows with what jealousy the Cabinets
(no, Of England and Of france alone, buD oil
almost evr,y Continental power, must regard
her progress at the present momen, 1t is by
good faith alone that she can maintain herself
against such coalition as could soon be form
ed against her.
Great praise is, therefore, due to the steadi.
ness Of The men who, suspected Of being too fa-
vorabIe TO military adventures withstood eve.
~ temptation to war, and kept their country
aIoof from the struggle, and in condition 10
Iook 10 its termination without the fever of par
tisans. We look forward with curiosity 10 the
uex, accounts from he East; but we have every
guarantee in the vigilance and energy Of our
Ministers, combined with the strength Of our
resources, that however The war may terminate
for Turkey, England and Europe have no. hing
10 fear"

TDo o'cloek-Neither III. French mail nor the
Hsmburgh steamer have ye, arrived. Hence
there is great dearth Of intelligence in the

reports. Some talk Of treaty, offensive and
defensive, between Russia and Prussia; others

none that can be traced to any higher or more
credi,sole source than the Stock Exchange

origin and equal fertility, states that the inter
est upon Exchequrr Bills is about to be reduce
ed. This, however, is supposed to have had
some influence on the Consoi Market, which
