The Eastern Troubles.

ESGLAND'S RELATIONSHIP WITH RUss1A-D1S-
49,, CUssIoN IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. -
q LONDON, August 11.--In the House OF
Commons last night Mr. Charles Monk, "a
Liberal member from Gloucester city, per
sistently pressed the question on'the Gov
eminent whether they would consider the
temporary occupation OF Constantin0ple BY
the Russian troops so far inc0nsiste Mt with
British interests as to disturb the relations
of amity between England and Russia.
Though Sir Stafford Northcote;J Chance
lor Excheouer, refused to answer this n.y.
potheticaI lquestion, 1T had the. effect OF
drawing from the Right Hon: William Ed
ward Forster, Liberal. member from Brad
ford, q statement expressive OF greater con-
fcence, which is felt by the opposition, OF
tue improbabllity OF England becoming IN
yolved in war. y.: "i.'"'1 - ::,.s.."t&.'- -
Mr.. Forster said: ."speaking for myself
and others, we should not have yielded to
the Governments desire to avoid debate ON
the Eastern question il we had any reason
to fear that the Government were likely
during the recess to drag the. country into
war or involve it in any breach OF neutral
ity. I'VE have most carefully considered
everything that has been written and said
by the Government, and, looking lat their
teni, 70 abide Nv the noIicy OF strict neutral
lty. That being the case, do notthink 1t
necessary to do more than remind them OF
the henyy responsibility under which they
lie." '-".n. 'sg. 49, - IL 9.s'<fs, I-
This statement seems indicative OF the
easier feeling generally prevalent, which
is largely due to Earl Beaconfeld's recent
statement in the House Of Lords. s..,',.' II.

PANAMA. August 1.-THE Pacific Navi-
CATION Company's steamer Etna has been
lost off Valparaiso. Fourteen bodies were
recovered and forty-threc reached the
shore. The cause OF the disaster is unre-
ported. The seamen were thrown on the
rocks, and owing to- the exposure and want
of food the crew threw themselves into the
sea to end their misery. Only three were
s;.red. A letter dated on board the steam
ship Lima. at Caao, July 21st, says: % THE
details of the loss OF the Etna are very great.
Out OF the crew OF siXty-seven in all aft and
passengers there are probably saved sixty
three. There could not have been less than
ninety to one hundred passengers, as she
was the intermediate boat. The loss OF life
is estimated at about 100 persons.
