The Eastern War.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 2l.-The Golos
publishes an article upon the early meet
ing of the British parliament and the pos
sible measures of the English cabinet.
The article declares that Russia may await
without anxiety the issue of this political
episode and may quietly continue the work
which she begun, in the firm conviction
that British intrigue will in no way hinder
the triumph of Russia.
LONDON, Dec. 2l.-A dispatch from
Athens says the Greek military estimates
for 1873 will show an increase of $l0,-
100000 drachmas.
The Christians Of Crete are eecting

| VIENNA, Dec. 2l.-Although all ap-
prehensions of seraglio conspiracies and
coups d etat at Constantinople seem to
have disappeared, the least thing is suf-
ffcient to revive them. Thus the unex-
pected appearance of Suleiman Paska at
1 Copstantinople with 10000 men has given
rise to fears that something OF the kind is
impending. In these circumstances it is
not surprising that the Sultan and bis
government should seek support iu
parliament and make it share in the re
Isponsibllity for the course to be followed
A Vienna special says negotiations have
been proceeding for some time concerning
the naturalization of the Danube. No un
derstanding has been reached so far, az
Russia wants the neutrality to extend t

only inclined to let it reach Sulina.
A correspondent at Athens is assured
that many Cretan chiefs, dissatisfied witt

sloner Erhardt made his defense before

his duty 10 every way; the witness testified
to the efficient work of the department.
The mayor very curtly refused to allow
the trial to last beyond evening. The
other commissioners are to make their
defense to day. Mr.. Erhardt says that
outside political influence had been the
principal obstacle in improvement of the
police force, and he had letters from
Mayor Ely intending to influence him in
trials of both police captains and patrol
men: this influence was poisonous to the
force
An influential deputation from the

that could be allevated by an external remedy Its
superiority over all other Lniments is proven by
the miraculous cures it PERFORMS and by the great
and constantly increasing demand. Thore has been
sold within the past year more than THREE MILLION
OF BOTTLES, and there be but few persons found
who do not bestow upon it the highest praise for
the rare virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps,
since the creation Of the world has been so success
full as an external remedy for all nervous diseases,
as this wonderful curative When applied, it in
simultaneously diues itself through the whole sys-
TEN, soothing the rrtated nerves. alaying the most
intense pains, and creating most delightful SEN
sation. Read the following remarkable cure which
can be attested to by hundreds, who were fully &C
quainted with the whole circumstance.
