FNGLAND.-The only subject of conversation
in England is the financial budget of the Chan
ceor OF the Exchequer. 1t is generally ap..
proved except so far as it relates to the continu
ance of the income tax.
Mrs. Stowe attended the banquet given in her
honor at Edinburgh, where she was presented
with the "Uncle Tom penny offering" amount
ing to 81 ,0O0, for abolition purposes, and silver
saver for herself. The next day she went to
Dundee, and would return the day after to
Edinburgh The Dutchesses of Sutherland,
SALISBURY, Carlisle, &C., had not yet appeared.
FRANCE-Letters in the London 6obe say
that the French government keeps secret the cons
tents of the dispatches it has received from
headquarters, but rs orders had been sent 70
more vessels to form the squadron at Saames, r
it may be inferred that they are hot very salts
factory on what the Eastern question appears to
be assuming-a very serious aspect. On the
other hand, however, it seemed to be understood,
and was stated in the diplomatic circles, that
there was not the slightest danger of anything
serious occurring from the disputes on the Con-
tineut.
TURKEY-Warke riots were prevailing at
Braussa, and at latest dates fifteen christians had
been killed,
Troops were concentrating in Constantinople
by order of the Turkish Government.
A telegraphic despatch from Vienna states
that matters were assuming serious aspect at
Constantinople. Prince Mentschikof had become
rather peremptory since the arrival of the Bril-
fish and French ambassadors, aud he threatened
to leave unless his demands were instantly COM
piled with. The massacre of several Greeks,
(christians) at Proussa, had probably furnished
h tb fnrd pdino tbo Inv
gest share of favor, for if there was not exclu-
sive prohibition of the Greek christians, he con.
sidered the safety of all questionable.
Nothing is said in the different dispatches oil
the disturbance at Constan tinople, but it is said
that the Porte is concentrating his troops there
and around the capital, and that he is sending out
war steamers to watch the enents of the
Russian fleet. Dispatches direct from Trieste
to Constantinople, bringing dates Of the 18th
April, confirm the rumor of Men tsch ikoff hav-
ing threatened to leave the capital unless his
demands were granted speedily.
Lord Stafford de Radcliffe had an Interview
with the Sultan, which interview, it was though,
would one way VI the other produce definite
policy. The Sultan, it was said, would yield tc
the demands of Russia, if not assured of supper,
from England, or would reject them if he had
such assurance.
