JAMES GoRDoS BENNETT, OF the New York
Herald, who left suddenly for Europe some
months ago 10 escape prosecution for fighting
duel, has returned to New York. The Mon
treal Office of the cashier of the Grand Trunk
railway was recently robbed of $50 900. A st.
John, n. B., dispatch says "Thirty bodies
thus far have been recovered, and as many
more persons are missing; but II IL impossible,
as yet to tell accurately the loss Of life"
SYMPATHY for the suffering people of st.
John has assumed substantial shape, and lib
eral donations of money, provisions and cloth
ing are pouring into the stricken city from all
parts Of the United States and Canada. To-
ronto has subscribed $4,000 Halifax $40, 900,
and other Canadian cities have contributed
largely while New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Chicago. st. Louis and all the large
cities of the States have responded lib
orally to the cry OF distress.

strike of the silk operatives of Paterson, N. ].
:. The stove-noders OF Louisville, KY, have

THE TURKO-RUsSIAN WAR
TURKISH advices report terrible outrages by
the Russians upon the Circassian population of
Armenia. Towns are sacked, women ravished,
and men banished. A reign of terror prevails.
The Russians are reported by the Turks to have
burned the military hospital in Ardahan.
Eight hundred inmates are said to have per-
ished. The Turks have again been defeated
| by the Montenegrins in five hours engage
ment between Dainlograd and Spuz.
A CoNsTANTINoPLE dispatch asserts that Lay
ard, the British Ambassador, has counseed
the Sultan to make peace Immediately. All the
Ministers except Redif Pasha, Minister of War,
! favor peace The Turkish Chamber of Depu-
| ties decided by a large majority that it is adj
visable to postpone for the present the ques-
ton of the admission of Christians into the
army, they continuing to pay the exemption
tax. Details Of the recent battle near Deliba-
ba, in Asia Minor, represent the affair to have
been very disastrous TO the Turkish force
The Russians put them to flight, and them
pursuing with cavalry, converted the defeat
into rout Relative TO the late Turkish de-
| feat near Spuz, a Cettinje dispatch says
" Later accounts show there never was a worse
panic or q more disastrous rout known in the
annals of war between Turkey and Montene-
gro. 1t was only the artillery of the forts that
saved the Turkish army from complete de-
struction. The Turkish dead cannot be count
ed, because they lie along the plain nearly up
to SpuZ, and the artillery of the city prevent
approach. Gen. Petrovics reports about 1000
dead within the ground recovered by the Mon
tenegrins."
ACCORDING to Turkish reports, the campaign
in Montenegro is about ended, all the strategic
positions being occupied by the Turkish troops.

the Russians at Ibrail on the 22d of June.
Pontoon bridges had previously been

on the morning of Friday the 22d of June,
bands Of cavalry crossed the river on barges at
the points named, which are eighteen miles
apart, and promptly formed junction on the
! high slopes beyond the marshy river bank.
Under the cover of this force between the Turks
at Matchin and the river, the Russians laid
their pontoon bridges at both the above points
and two divisions rapidly crossed and effected

ment Of the Russians characterized by
| the utmost skill and rapidity of action. BY
noon the forces we're before the outwOrks of
Matchin, which they carried by charging the
batteries The Turks were driven out and fled
to Matchin,sthe Russians turning their own
guns upon them, and that night they rested in
the deserted Turkish camp, preparing for the
battle Of the morrow. On Saturday morning
| they advanced again with the intention of
storming Matchin, but found no enemy to OPP
pose them. The Turks had evacuated the
place. and the Russians entered it, and held the
key to the DObrudscha.
IT is announced from London that the Brit

proved of Gortschakoffs declaration as to Rus
sias policy in the Eastern war, and the English
Government has resolved not to allow even the

That the Russians at BayaZid have
capitulated that the Russians have been de-
feated in a fourteen-hours' battle at Delibaba
pass, losing twice many men as the Turks
and that the Turks have worsted their foes in
a sharp engagement at Batoum. "A London
dispatch says simultaneously with the
crossing into the Dobrudscha, news comes of
general movement Of Russian troops between
Slatina and Alexandria, down TO the Danube,
between Turnu-Maguerei and Simnitza. The
Turks are reported preparing to concentrate
their forces on the Lower Danube and the
fortresses forming the quadrilateral - Rust

Widen force isolated"
DETAILED accounts Of the terrible lombard
ment of Rustchuk by the Russian batteries at
Giugevo are furnished by cable: "The
terribly effective character OF the Russian fire
can scarcely be described. The gunners seem
to have directed every shot at Rustchuk with
out regard to the buildings liable to be injured
