mysteries and denominations of the present System
of family aud clique Government At the last
meeting of the Association Mr.. Lindsay gave
again some striking facts about the stupid waste
of money in tho Transport Department, and Mr..
Laysrd, who made an excellent speech, prepared
the audience for his next revelations in the
House. am sorry that the details of the de-
bate which is to take place this evening caunot
reach you until the next steamer; you can only
receive the report Of the first nights debate by
telegraph. The motion of Mr.. Lsyard has been
placed on the Parliamentary papers in the fol-
lowing words: "That this House views
with deep and increasing concern the
" state of the nation, and it is Of opinion that
"the manner in which merit and efficiency have
"been sacrificed in public appointments to party

"gTave disasters" The resolution, which

embodies the real feeling of the nation, and
while raising the reputation Of Mr.. Layard, 1T
prepares us for thorough change in the aristo-
cratic system ofEDglish Government. Sir Charles
Napier, who was present at the meeting of the
Association, wss received with deafening cheers,
which proves sufficiently that the English pub

Of Parliament.
Arumor is current in well-informed circles and
credited by a portion OF the Press, respecting
an intimaton said to have been given to Aus
tria that her services in the Principslties are
no longer required. Since the report of the
English Diplomatic Agents in regard to the out
RACES Of the Croats, and Count Coronini's pro-
lection extended to Prince Stirbey and all the
Russianzed Boyards, while the national party
is annoyed and openly persecuted, such step
on the part of the Allies is more taan probable.
The Porte regards the presence of the Austrians
as standing outrage on the Sultan who is bet
ter able to protect the Prpcipalities ard to
restore order than Francis Joseph. Besides,
the Austrian Court thinks seriously of reduc-
tion of it's army account of its financial diff
culties. England and France have therefore
nothing more to expect from Austrian friend
ship, and feel a,hamed of having, by the sur
render of the Principalities, put Francis Joseph
in the position of q mediator, keeping the
balance of power in his hands between the
belligerents. They seem now to be resolved
on stripping Austria of her Fictitious i'm
portaDce, and on treating her entirely in
the same way as Prussia. Prince Ghike
in Moldavia never trusted the Austrians, and
though more exposed to Russian revenge than
his Wallacbian colleague, Stirbey, he tried to
ingIatiate himself at Constantinople. Stirbey,
on the other hand, courted Francis Joseph, and
scarcely disguised his prediction for Russia,
in the hope that his zeal might be rewarded by
the confirmation Of his high position, which is
TO terminate next May, when a new election
takes place in both PriDcipalities. Prince Dan
Ito of Montenegro had assembled six thousand
mountaineers close to the Turkish frontier, and
preaching crusade against the Crescent, fas-
tened brass cross on his cap, and distributed
similar brass crosses to his retainers, in sign of
their devotion to the orthodox faith. STILL
as he is known as mere braggart, there is no
real diversion to be apprehended from the rob-
bers of Montenegro, unless the Russians
should once more cross the Danube. Gen.

bands in the Hungarian war, whose parti-
san.hip for Austria has markedly cool

the Hungarian watering place of Mehaclia.
A strange lawsuit is about to take place at
Vienna. One of the small islands of the Adri-
attic belonged in the middle ages to the
Greek monasteries on Mount Athos, but the
monks were unable to defend their sovereignty
when the prestige of the Church began to de-
cline, and proved insufficient for protection.
They therefore leased the sovereignty of the
island to the Republic of Ragusa for 1000 gold
ducats year. The Republic faithfully paid the
rent, and when Napoleon l occupied Dsmasia
he did not fail to send the 1000 ducats to Mount
Athos. But in 1915 the Congress Of Vienna
transferred Ragusa and all its dependen-
cies ON Austria, which, under the pretext
that the debt was debt of the Republic not of
the town of Ragusa, repudiated the claim of
the Monks. The Abbot of the Monastery be.
lieves the present moment to be emnently oP-
perfume for recovering his rights, since the
rights and privileges Of the Christian subjects
of the Sultan are the sbibboleth of all the bel
ligerent parties and resolved to sue the Govern
ment of Austria at the Supreme Court of
Vienna. In spite of the difficulties thrown in
the way of the Queens enlisting officers by the
