According to Vienna letter to the London
1!aes, tho two Austrian Commissions sent to
interview tho Bosnian fugitSvcs who Lave
taken refuge III Austria as to tho cause Of
thu insurrcction asccrtuiucd that the npris-
Ing i'll Eosnia yas not tho result OF sympathy
with Herzegovina but WIS rnthcr due to the
policy Of persecution enfouced by tho Turks
to prevent Tho spread of tho revolt. Tho
plan of paciacation adopted wan pocu1-
-hrly Turkish it consisted in tho
arrest aud imprisonment Of the elders and
other influential men Of Bosnia, who only
rega'ned their liberty upon tho payment Of
large aums. I'll" fear Of repetition OF these
outrages led to iis:nt to tho mountains and
preparations for Resistance. Tile movement
tailed to ocqu!Foto1zu1able proportions, both
because Of lack OF as7ns aud ammunition
and tho fact that Eaany sillagea remained pas-

The CoNGREss OF NAT1oNs.-A very novel
and elegant entertainment designated as the
Congress Of Nations, took place at St Pat
rick's Hall last night. The programme was
made up of tableaux composed Of representa-
tives of Europe, America and the East, each
one being followed by Rotations and songs
in character by the different participants.
Many of these were deserving of special
mention, and were it not for want of space
We should like tn give full and detailed ac-
count of the affair. We can not, however,
refrain from mentioning the sorg by the Sicil-
ian Peasant Girl, the Rotations by the Irish
Peasant, and Brother Jonathan, which were
all admirably done. There were several 9th
ers which deserve notice for their excellence,
but these we're particularly good.
The entire arrangement Of the affair was
very handsome and is well worthy Of a visit
from all admirers Of the elegant and beauti-
full. The entertainment was brought to
happy close by all the representatives singing
together the famous Co-cd-che link chorus.
The nations will assemble in Congress for
four more nights and it will not be well to
miss every opportunity Of being present at
their deliberations. A new programme every
night.

while on duty and in full uniform. will be
permitted to enter any establishment where
intoxicating drink may be sold or kept, for
the purpose Of obtaining drink:
ANY infraction of this order will subject the
offender to suspension from duty and trial be-
fore thePolice Board. Attention is called to Rule
No. 80, the provisions of which have not been
strictly complied with. Patrolmen should
carefully watch all disorderly houses and
houses Of bad repute, take particular note Of

their observations to their precinct command.
ers. Patrolmen should constantly patrol
their beats, and should never loll in door
ways or at street corners.
Nothing serves to bring the force into dis
repute more than the practice of neglecting
their duty, standing in groups reading news
papers and sauntering along in q slouching
manner Hereafter patrolmen and others
will be required to perform duty in strict con-
formity to the rules and regulations estab-
lished for their observance and guidance.
