AT BANQUET recently held in st.
Petersburg, the Grand Duke Nicholas
proposed a toast to the health of the
Greek volunteers who are struggling
heroicalIy in Crete, land whose broth
ers have been since the Crimean war
the only allies of Russia" Ihe Mos
COW Gazette is also oracular, setting
forth that the Eastern question must
shortly attain a settlement, and that
Eve are now on the eve OF the day in
which the Greco-Sclavouic world will
take its proper place In the arena of life
and of action-when the independ-
ence of the Christian population OF the
East shall have been entirely recog-
nized, Russia will appear in a new
light before the rest of Europe. The
restoration of the Greco-Sclavonic
world will reveal in the heart of the
empire, forces which until now have re-
maiued hidden and inactive" These
announcements, as is remarked by Il e
Paris D=6ute, need not be taken too
seriously, although the actual situation
OF Europe is such as to give every en-
eouragement l. the ambition of Russia.
By the latest dates from St. Petersburg,
however, we did not learn that any def
mite action has been taken.

THE Irish detectives have made a
very funny bull. They think thew
have arrested John Hiorrissey. The
Irish Times of the 9th uIt., gives the fol-
lowing glowing account of the capture:
last night, at the Limerick June
ton, Assistant Inspector General
Brownrigg, Ofthe constabuIary, arrest
ed, on the arrival OF the mail train from
Cork, John Morrissey, the celebrated
prize tighter and member of the United
States Congress, on a charge of Fenian-
ism, just as he had alighted from first
class carriage. He had arrived at Cork
by the Crnard steamer Australasian,
and Was proceeding TO TiPperary town
he Is known as the man who won the
hrst great fight in Canada, near the
American frontier, about eight years
ago, with John C. Heenan, whom Nor
riSsey defeated after desperate fight
of ftWenty-three rounds, which occupied
nearly three hours. He has since be-
come giu-palace proprietor and Iezis-
laIor, and Joined the Feniau Brother
hood at its commencement, having SUBJ
scribed largely to its funds. Morrissey,
when arrested, tainted, aud had to be
taken 10 the gentlemen's waiting room.
where restoratives had to be applied
AFTER which he was taken to Dublin.
In consequence of his arrest a large
force Of infantry was sent down early
this morning 10 the Junction, where
the men are encamped for the protec-
ton of the place"

FINANCIAL. il
TIE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY.
THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AS AN INVESTMENT.

The rapid progress Of the Union Pacific Railroad
now building west frc m Omaha, Nebraska and form
ing with It's western connections, an unbroken line
across the continent attracts attention to the Vaue
Of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now
offer the public The question asked by prudent
investors is Are these bonds secure?" Next, Are
they profitable investmentT To reply In briet-
First The early completion Of the whole great line
to the Pacific certain any future business event
can be. The Government grant Of over twenty mill
lion acres ofland and fifty million dollars IN It's own
bonds practically guarantees It, one-fourth Of the
work is already done, and the track continues to be
laid at the rate of two miles day.
Second. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued
upon what promises to be OF the most profitable
lines of railroad In the country. For many years 1t
must be only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa
ciHc and being without competition, 1t can maintain
remunerAtive rates.
Third. s76 miles of this road finished and fully
equipped with depOts locomotives, cars etc. and two
trains daily running each way. The materials for
the remaining III miles TO the eastern base of the
Rocky Mountains are on hand and it is under con-
tract to be done in September.
Fourth. The net earnings Of the sections already
finished are several times greater than the gold In
terest upon the First Mortgage bonds upon such
uons and If not another mile OF the road built,
the part already completed would not only pay inte
rest and expenses but be profitable to the Company,
Fifth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be Is
sued only as the road progresses and therefore
never be In the market unless they represent bona
Hde property.
Sixth. Their amount is strictly limited by law to a
sum equal TO what is granted by the United States
Government, and for which 1t takes a second lien as
its security. This amount upon the first 5l7 miles
west from Omaha is only $4,000 per mile.
Seventh. The fact that the United States Govern
ment considers second lien upon the road good In
vestmept, and that some of the shrewdest railroad
builders OF the country have already paid In five mil
lion dollars upon the stock (Which is to them a third
lien) may well inspire confidence in first lien.
Eighth. Although is not claimed that there be
any better securities than Governments there
parties who consider q first mortgage upon such
property this the very best security in the world
and who sell their Governments relnvest in these
bonds, thus securing greater interest.
Ninth. AS the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are
offered for the present at 80 on the dollar and
accrued interest. they the cheapest security
the Market being per cent less than United States
stocks.
Tenth. At the current rate OF premium on gold
they pay
