THE VAR.
ANOTHER GREAT RUSSIAN VIC
TORY REPORTED NEAR ELENA.

TweIue Thousand Prisoners-THe
Turks Defeated IN a Fight Near
Rustchuk-A British Iron clad
Suddenly Ordered to Besika Bay.
LONDON, Dec. IA, 1877.
This morning the news would seem to
pressage more disaster for the Turks.
The Russian army set free by the cap
ture of Plevna, appears to have turned
sharply on Suleiman and cut short his
career. A Bucharest correspondent tele-
graphs "A report is current here that
the Russians have gained great victory
near Elena, taking $4,000 prisoners"
A report prevailed at Constantinople
on Wednesday night that great battle
had been fought between Metchka and
Rustchuk, the result of which was un>
known. Thus far, however, official re-
ports from Turkish headquarters only
mention an affair with six Russian bat
talions.
A dispatch from Bucharest, referring
to the fisnt near Metchka, reports thai
thirty tabors Of Turks attacked Metchka
on the 18th inst, but were brilliantly res
pulsed by the forces under Vladimir and
the Czarewitch.
A despatch from Bucharest says
"According to official returns the Rus
sian losses in the fighting preceding the
, surrender of Plevna were 10 officers and
1872 men killed and 45 officers and l ,2O7
men wounded. The Turks lost 900
killed and wounded, and the prisoners
include 10 pachas, 129 staff Off icers, 1000
officers, 5000 infantry and l 200 cavalry.
Seventy-seven cannon were also captur-
: ed The first batch of prisoners, mum ber-
ing 10000, have already started tor
| Bucharest"
The Times Pera despatch dated We'd
> nesday says:-"The fall of Plevna is still
unknown to the Turks generally, So it is
impossi BILE to estimate its effect upon the
population, which, however, will pro-
n badly maintain It's usual calm" A des-
g patch from Constantinople dated yester-
. day, however, says:-"News of the fall
t of Plevna has been received here with
q calmness and fortitude. The journals
n urge resistance to the last''
: Another Constantinople despatch
S patch says:-"No overtures for mediation
l.. have yet been made TO any of the foreign
O embassies here"
The Turkish Parliament was opened
. yesterday by the Sultan. All the Turkish
dignitaries and foreign Ambassadors
e were present. Thespeech from the throne
y was reserved in tone, and alludes neither
s to peace nor mediation.
v A later despath says:-"The Sultan in
e his speech said-I must again appeal to
the patriotism of my subjects to protect
our legitimate rights"

DU CHAILLU TONIGHT.

Do not fail to go to the Opera House to-
night. Du Chaillu, one OF the creates
travellers of the age, will lecture on his
"Explorations in Equatorial Africa" He
is thus spoken of by the London ReUielC!
"a man of uncommon nerve and dar-
ing A traveller who, forsaking all beaten
tracks, plunged into the wi DIS of a coun-
try where no white man appears to have
preceded him, and who brings before us
tribes marked by hdeeus moral degraaa-
tion, and yet of not unhopeful prospects
while as hunter, sportsman and natural
list he has tales to tell which make the ears
of all who hear tingle."
Tickets can be obtained of C. F. Thomas
