Times from Ragusa confirms the report of
the defeat of the Turks by the insurgents
under General Peko, and gives the fol-
lowing particulars The Turks disband-
ed after the first attack without further
resistance. A majority of the killed, who
probably number over three hundred,
fell during the fight. The bulk of the
survivors took refuge on the hill, where
at last accounts they were surrounded by
the whole insurgent army, three thou

unquestionably complete and important.

RUSSIA.
London, Jan. 20.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times says there are
various reports concerning the transpor-
tation to Siberia of the Odessa merchant,
whose name is Brodsky. The incident
is considered to be Of particular import
ance because of the rarity of such pro-
ceedings in the reign of the present En-
peror. The transportation was decreed
by the political police. There was no
semblanCe of a trial. 1t is variously sur
missed that Brodsky, who is highly re-
speCted in Odessa, spoke against the gov
ernment in the town council or sold arms
to the Turks, as has been alleged, or was
accessory TO the publishing of the recent
report of the export trade.
ITALY.
Rome, Jan. 19-The Italian Minister
of Public Instruction has accepted the
proposition ofthe United States Govern
ment for an exchange of scientific publi-
cations of the two countries.
In consequence of the political tenden-
cies evinCed in Spain in regard to the
forthcoming election for the Cortes, Car
dinal Antonelli has instructed the Nun
clio at Madrid to obtain clear definition
of the governments intended line of con-
duct in the relations with Papacy.
London, 2an ia Special dispatch
from Rome says the Italian Government
has closed the Episcopal Seminary at
Como for its refusal to admit a govern
ment inspector. This is a most import
ant act, being the strongest step yet ia
ken in the states dealing with the church,
and will doubtless produce great results.
CANADA.
Ottawa, January 19-In the Dominion
Board Of Trade to-day a resolution was
adopted declaring that the shipping in
terests of the Dominion require telegraph |
cables to be extended from the mainland |
to the Islands in the Gulf of st. Law
renee, and petitioning the government
for their immediate construction at an |
estimated cost of $130000. The dele
gates of the National Board of Trade of
the United States addressed the meet
ing on the proposed ciprocal trade be-
tween Canada and the United States.
Mr. Henry, of New York, said he was
sure his people would join the Canadians
in enlarging the canals. He urged the
construction of the Caughnawaga Canal.
Mr. Hays, of Detroit contended that
every improvement in the canals and
railways of Canada added to the value of
the Western States.
Hon. John Young moved that the
Caughnawaga Canal be constructed on
the same scale as the St. Lawrence Canal.
Mr. White favored the building of the
canal, but first wanted assurance from
the United States Government that the
Canal be enlarged to the same
size, and Canada vessels allowed to navi-
gate American canals to New York on
the same terms as vessels of the United
States. He moved an amendment to
that effect. The motion, as amended by
Mr.. White, was carried.
A resolution was adopted that the gov
ernment be memorialized praying for
,he restoration of the 10 per cent defer
ential duty on tea and coffee imported
from the United States. Adjourned.
