ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE
LONDON, June II, 1875
There is nothing OF particular interest this week
beside the situation OF AFFAIRS in Constantinope and
the prospects Of the Eastern question generally.
The English papers too busy just now with the
Russian and Berlin papers TO attend to commonplace
topics.
RUSSIAN PRESS coUNrERBLAsTs TO BRITAIN.
The Russian journals. Judging from the language
which they use, are very much excited against
England. The Gosos indeed threatens that Russia
viii "throttle Turkey" before the eyes OF England.
These two great countries, Great Britain and Russia,
alone now seem to threaten the peace Of Europe
THE EASTERN INsURREcTToN.
The insurrcction itself is merely OF local import
ance.
THE HELIGoLAND RUMoRs
The assertion Of the Berlin National zeftmng,
that England will cede the island OF Heligoland TO
Germany, Is as q matter Of course, denied here.
The assertion needed contradiction but IT is no
less true that the national zeituno but expresses
the vague longing which the Germans entertain for
the possession OF Helgoland, and certain uneasi-
ness at having only forty odd miles from their coast
. foreign Power which, as in the last war, can
shelter the ships OF an enemy.
THE ExrRAprTioN QUESTION.
The release Of winslow is but little discussed BY
the public. There prevails general fear that the
United States will retaiiate when an opportunity
presents ITSELF or that there win be reputation Of
the Extradition Treaty altogether.
IN HIS NEW HOME
winsow is still in London.
LORD AMBERLEY's BOOK.
Lord Amberley's posthumous work, "Analysis Of
Religious Beliefn Of which his friends trie. to pre-
vent the publication, now appears and Is creating
considerable excitement in the religious world. The
tendency OF the book is thorougly sccptca treating
Christ as legendary development.
THE PREFACE By rEEREss.
The authors mother Countess Russell. prefaces
the work, saying, 'May those finding cherished be-
efs questioned remember the authors pain as, one
by one be parted with portions Of that faith which
In early youth was the handspring Of his lfc."
CAPTAIN KEYx's TRIAL ADJOURNED
The case Of Ferdinand Keyn, late captain Of the
steamer Franconia. which ran into and sunk the
strath-Clyde, now being heard by the full Bench has
been adjourned until Wednesday.
vrvArrrAv prvyru
In the matter Of fnance the week shows consider
able recovery in the leading departments, but the
Constantinople assassinations checked the upward
tendency, the belief prevalent at the moment being
that airs in the East may pass out OF the control
| OF any government formed in Constantnople, and
so tend to produce further complications.

more active inquiry for sugar Gomez was hrmer
and advanced several shilings from the lowest point
for good to fine East Indies and plantation Ceylon.
| Low descriptions remain quiet
The alterations in sugar are partly ascribed to ex-
pccted French requirements, some cargoes having
already been taken for France and the stock Of the
best sugars is being diminished. West Indies, low

| vanced.
