The contest between the Government
of Denmark and the Radical party is ad-
vancing to o crisis. The King, it will be
remembered, dissolved the Folkething,
nominally because the majority refused
certain votes for the national defences,
but really, it was suspected, because he
did not wish a Radical Ministry to obtain
power. The new elections terminated on
the 25th inst, and the Radical majority
has only been increased. Formerly they
were only go out of 1O2, but now they are
rs out of the same number. enough to pass
q two-thirds vote. It is believed that the
King will dissolve again, but as that would
be a coup G'etat without any of the advan-
tages of one, we imagine some compromise
will be discovered. The best would be to
admit the Radicals to power, and let shat
cool them, as it always does. They are
not asking for anything very dangerous
after all,-Disestablishment, fxity OF land"
tenure, and an income-tax being their
more immediate objects. They were
strongly opposed at the elections by the
Socialists, but the leader of this latter
party. NJ. Pho, was defeated by a Nationai
Liberal by two to one.

A deputation of the West India Com
mittee waited on Tuesday on Lord Car
narvon, to explain to him that the distur-
Dances originated with the Governor, who,
they said, had employed the police to
disseminate exciting statements ; who had,
in small and disreputable public meeting,
told the poor they were oppressed aud
who released prisoners, so as to give an
impression that the Executive Power
differed in opinion from the ordinary JUS
tees. Lord Carnarvon in reply said it was
almost incredible to him that Mr.. Hennes-
sy should have lent himself to such an
agitation, that he should have concealed
such facts as the Committee had published,
or that he should have suppressed all
mention of the scenes supposed to have
occurred. For himself, he had directed
the Naval force off Barbados to be strength
ened, but he trusted such precautions were
unnecessary. He rebuked the population
for demanding the recall of the Governor
before evidence against him had been cub
stantiated, before he had been heard in ex-
PLANTATION, and during a time when. by their
account, there was risk of general dlstur-
bance throughout the island. Altogether
the Committee showed itself excited, an.
CRY, and irrational, and the Government. If
anything, unreasonable and temperate.
The effort to force it's hand, and SO bring
authority Ia Barbados to N end needed
even q sharper rebuke.

A slight change appears to have occur
red in the Eastern question during the
week. The Porte, excited by Mukhtar
Pasha's kilograms, had almost decided to
invade Seryia and Montenegro. and trust
to the non-interference of the Imperial
Powers, who were believed in Constantine
pie to be quarrelling among themselves.
AT the nick of time, however, the three
Powers made a joint representation, which,
backed as it was by Great Britain, induced
the Sultan to pledge himself that wal
should not be declared. Servia and
Montenegro, therefore, remain quiet, and
there are again rumours Of an armistice.
Fhe insurgents, however, refuse to accepB
any terms short Of autonomy, and Mukhtar
Paoha makes no progress in q%uelling the
Instruction. Niksics is not r%evictualled,
and a second march towards it has proved
a failure, though Mukhtar Pasha tele-
graphs to Constantinople that he has
reyictualled Piva, a place of no Importance.
The Turkish Government is pressing that
of Egypt to garrison some points in Asia,
and so release 10000 Turkish troops but
the Khediye has no money to spare, and
if he advances any, is quite certain not
10 receive it again from the Porte. He
might accept the hereditary Pashalic Of
Crete, but even in their despair the people
at Constantinople will hardly give him
more territory.

The Government of France is determined
to conciIiate Paris, and to show that it
believes in the Republic. Accordingly it
has sanctioned o Universal Exhibition of
Industry and Art for May |, 1878. The
Project of the Seine, NJ. Ferdinand DuVal,
has, moreover, proposed to the Municipal
Council to raise q loan Of ga, 800, 900, with
which to adorn Paris for the great festival.
He proposes to finish NJ. Hausmann's I'M
1 e., $40 400, 600 5t on the Avenue de- T Z and
to rebuild the wine entrep6ts at Bercy.
The money will, it is believed, be voted,
as Paris has q surplus, and the shopkeepers
are delighted with the thought of o Euro
pean gathering. 1t looks very much,
nevertheless. as if the Republic felt itself
pressed by the same necessity Of giving the
Parisians ponem ct circenscs as Napoleon

We have tried elsewhere to explain the
bitterness which has arisen between the
planters of Barbados and the Governor,
but must mention here that the contest
is not between the black and white races,
bat between employers aud employed.
The employed, who are oyer-numorous
and therefore badly paid, are on the side
of the Governor, because, he says, quite
truly, that Confederation would increase
emigration, the other islands importing
Barbadians, instead of Indian coolies, and
would therefore improve the rate of wages.
They therefore ''riot" against those who
oppose confederation. The employers, on
the other and, whose staple production
requires cheap and abundant labour, arc
very angry with the Governor for holding
out such hopes for attacking their Con-
stitution, which they value, as it enables
them to govern : and for showing too much
l~eniency towards prisoners, who are no lon
ger, in their Judgment, whipped sufficient
~ to make prison terrible to them.
They therefore accuse Mr., Hennessy Of
"exciting'' the poorer classes to outrage,
which, SO far as appears, he has only done
by proposing, under orders from England,
a confederation OF the Windward and Lee
ward Islands.

ing, and Mr.. Fawcett has therefore lost
his last chance of raising a debate upon
that special designation. Mr.. Disraeli
refused on Monday aud Tuesday to give
him a day for his motion, even after he
had turned it into a direct motion of want
of confidence, alleging that he was only
bound to provide such an opportunity for
a leader Of Opposition who was prepared,
if he succeeded, to form q Government.
The refusal was not quite ingenious, as
the Premier knew that Mr.. Fawcett's
motion was only made in that form in
order to secure another debate but Lord
Harrington assisted the Premier. lie
told the House plainly, on Tuesday, that
he did not think it advisable to proceed
with the subject, and on Thursday reiter-
ated his opinion, though with some
courteous words for Mr.. Fawcett. His
action in the matter has created some
soreness among the Radicals, which, as
we have argued elsewhere, is not unrea-
sonabIe, and which bodies i'll for the par

The project for retaining the main build
ing on the Centennial grounds for the pur-
pose ola permanent exhibition has fallen al
most as rapidly as it arose, and to the great
disappointment of certain parties who ex-
pected to make money out of the scheme.
1t does not often happen that men of infu-
ence such as were associated in this project
fail to accomplish their ends, but this
scheme was little too mucA for them the
requisite authority could not be obtained,
and there were substantial reasons why the
main building should not be preserved for
the proposed purpose. Understand, that
all this has nothing to do with the advisa-
bility of having a permanent exhibition,
but that it refers only to the place of hold
ing it. 1t has all along been understood
that Machinery Hall was to remain after
the close of the Exposition, and it is in all
respects a better built and more durable
structure than the other. 1t will admira
bly, answer every purpose, and is now the
property of the city, to be put to any use
after the Great Fair which may be founG
expedient. Herein, of course, is the diff
Guilty, for the Main Building project wa
engineered for individual profit while will

such opportunity. But the public will pro
fit, all the same.

HOPES OF THE BUSINESS REvIvAL.-The fact
that the condition of business, both present
and prospective, is better than it has been
at any time for three years, is admitted,
even by the most dismal croakers. From
every centre comes the same pleasant tale
of brisk trade, more numerous discounts,
larger purchases and quicker collections.
The crops of an abundant harvest are being
sent all over the worldin quantities greater
than ever before, and provision is weekly
becoming more important item in our
export account. Coal is recovering from
its depressed prices, and yet mills are re-
ss%ning and increasing their operations,
with orders coming in faster than they can
be filled. Raw materials are advancing in
prices, and the dry goods and the boot and
shoe dealers find their piles on their coun-
tors rapidly disappearing. Even the iron
interests, which it was anticipated would not
feel the new impetus until spring, is already
showing great activity. Furnaces are heing
put in blast, and rollingmills and machine
shops increasing their forces, and even re-
fusing to fill orders at present prices, to be
finished next year.-PkiLa. Times.

The IMMENSE RAILROAD TRAvEL.-The
resources of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road are taxed just now to the utmost to
provide transportation for their immense
passenger traffic. Last Friday, between
12:40 and 2 o'clock eight trains, bringing
eighty cars arrived at Baltimore, moro pas
sengers than has ever before been brought
into the depot in the same space of time,
Zone hour and half the number being es-
timated at not less than $500 people. The
regular trains from the West inyal ibis
come in two sections, and frequently IN
four and five, while the influx of travel
from the South is scarcely less. Mr.. Sharp
says that more people are on the move in
the United States to-day than there have
ever been before.

THE Coal SUPPLY.-The earth is rich
enough in coal to supply the needs of all
for centuries to come. Foremost in this
respect are North America and China.
The coal deposits in the United States cover
a surface of 2OO,O O,OOOsquare miles, those in the
British possessions 10000, and in Belgium
900. China is perhaps richer still than the
United States in this respect. In the
single province of the four rivers deposits
have been explored covering 5000 square
miles, in uninterrupted heavy layers,
while the province of Siansi is situated over
the richest deposits of the most excel
lent quality, so that by digging in any place
leads to the coal deposits, which form un.
der and around this province and in incredi
bly, largo stores.
