ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD By CABLE. |
LONDON, April Is, 1875.
The Oriental spectre which has been abroad dur
Ing the week has been making general havoc on the
European Bourse.
AUsrRIAs WARNING AN INSULT TO RUSSIA.
The attitude OF the Herzegovina insurgents
causes much alarm in political circles General
Rodich, Governor OF Dalmatia and Austrian Commits
sioner having failed in mediating between the Turks
and the insurgents, has warned the latter against
expecting any support from Russia, whereupon the
Russian press turns upon him and angriy CONSTITUTES
the warning as an insult to Russia. The Austrian
press takes the matter up in turn and adds to the
turmoil by attacking Russia
THE CARS THREATENED ABDIcArIoS.
This growing antagonism between these two great
Powers sufficiently explains the agitation on the
various bourses. And when we consider by the
light OF recent events the fact that the Car has
clarcd whenever Russian interests demand war
with the great Powers he will abdicate the throne,
there Is a sim further cause for anxiety. Indeed,
there now appears to be very general fear in Lon
don that war is imminent.
TURKEYS THREAT TO ARM THE MoHAxMEDASs.
The HERALD correspondent at Vienna tcegraphs
tonight that he has received reliable advices from
Constantinople to the effect that the Sublime Porte
medan population, and declare 1t their determine
ton to postpone all payments Of interest on debts
until after the restoration Of peace.
JOHN BULL IN EGYPT.
1t is almost impossible to unravel the skein OF
Egyptian finance but 1t Is certain that the Khedive
means TO remain master In his own house. SO
England viewing the failure OF the FrancoItalian
negotiations is now drawing breath Of relief and
chuckling over the nasco. But the laugh cannot be
considered on the side OF the English Lord Palmer
ston theoretically opposed the construction OF the
Suez Canal while Disrael has spent $4,000 900 to
combat French domination In Egypt; and II the re-
cent negotiations had not failed heavy and per-
haps disastrous blow would have been dealt the
English Ministry.
GREAT FALL IN EUROPEAN SECURITIES.
This has been week OF terrible uneasness on the
London Exchange. The settlements necessary be-
fore the Easter holidays have restricted business
but have not prevented . heavy fall in nearly all
kinds OF foreign securities. Egyptian Turkish,
Russian, Austrian, Hungarian, those from the
Danubian principalities-an have been more or less
affected by the panic in Vienna.
AMERICAN SHARES AND BONDS.
Investors cvince great timidty. American stocks
are the chief feature Of the market. There was q
slight fall in Erie Railway shares; otherwise our
general securities remained firm. Governments"
rcceded trIne.
EASTER HOLIDAYS
1t being Easter, the whole country seems to be
holiday making. Thousands OF country COUSINS
have invaded London, while the everyday Londoner,
in accordance with his usual custom, has LEFT the
city smoke and dust for the pure air OF the country
and seaside Bank clerks and business men gener-
ally, amer leaving their Offices this afternoon will
not return to the city again until Tuesday morning.
THE NATIONAL VOLUNTEER REVIEW.
One OF the principal features OF outdoor amuse-
ment on Monday viii be the annual volunteer re-
view which this year is to take place at Brownlow
Park, Berkhampstcad.
We are also to have two days Of poio-viz., on
Monday and Tuesday--at Stanford Park, Brighton.
THE BERLIN MATCH.
Speaking Of polo am reminded that the Berlin
match which was reported to have been abandoned,
is now rcafnmed and win certainly come on. 1t
seems that some few newspapers attempted to
throw cold water on the proposed match, owing,
they stated, to the inability OF the people on shc
Continent TO understand English field sports. These
critics thought that the Berlin military would laugh
at the spectacle Of crack English officers. In civilian
dress, galloping and whirng about little ponies.
rHIRry-EIGHT ENGLISH OFFICERS TO PARTICIPATE.
The Court Journal OF to-day says, however. that
all the necessary arrangements have been completed
and that thirty pooists win leave for Germany
travelling by special trains, &C. the whole distance.
GERMAN oFPrcERs LEARNING rHK GAME.
The Germans are evidently deeply interested, for
we learn that the army officers at Berlin are very
busy learning the game.
MATCH FOR ALL NATIONS.
Moreover. next year German team Is TO visit
England and compete In match which is to be open
TO the army officers OF all nations.
