events arrived.
Some information as to the Russian
Message to Lord Derby is shortly to be
Published officially, but meanwhile the
Paris Correspondent OF the TINES forwards
a sketch which he believes to be exactly
accurate. Prince Gortschakoff states that
Russia will not disturb the Suez Canal, as
1t involves too many interests that she
will not carry the war into Egypt, and
that she will not enter the Persian Gulf
but adds that as regards Constantinople,
though the Emperor does not wish to take
possession of a city which ought not to
belong TO any European Power. still
nobody can predict the course of a war.
Still neither the question of Constantine
pile nor that of the Dardanelles can be
settled apart from Europe. T1e policy Of
Russia is always misunderstood, and
arrieTc penSces attributed to her which she
does not entertain, but as the Emperor
has been forced to draw the sword, he
will not sheathe it till all questions at is-
sue have been settled. This grave decla-
ration, which points to an occupation, but
not an annexation of Constantinople, is
reported to Paris by a writer at Plojesti,
who says, 81 have just read Prince Gorts-
chakotfS reply" The Note and its con.
tents must have been well known to Lord
Derby before he endorsed Lord Salisbury's
speech at Merchant TayIols.'
TIE Turks appear TO have devised o
tolerahly effective protection for the
monitors in the Danube against the tor
pedo boats which were so successful on
their first attack. On Saturday night,
some Russian launches in tie Kilia mouth
of the Danube attempted the ame sort
OF enterprise as that which was go success
tul a few weeks ago, against two Turkish
monitors in the Suiina mouth of the river.
But by Hobart Pasha's order the monitors
were surrounded by boats fastened togeth-
er by chains, and the Russian launches
struck the chains, and so gave warning OF
their attempt, without having got near
enough to the monitors to iniure them
severely by their t~orpedoes nevertheless,
one of the monitors was slightly injured.
On the other hand, the grape fired into the
Russian launches injured them severely,
and some Of the party were drowned, and
six, it is said, taken prisoners. The de-
vice of thus surrounding an ircnclad with
small boats connected by a chain seems,
therefore, a useful one, but it is obvious
Iy ioaPpIicable except to vessels at anchor,
as it would be impossible to move sur
rounded by sucn appendages. For a
hlOckading or cruising squadron, this ex-
ondienf vVOnld ho useless.

sAurglnry.
Y The residence Of Mr.. Gabriel Shinke,
an old man Of 70 years, residing about
7 miles east of this place, on Pine Run,
was entered by a couple of burglars
on Thursday of last week, about one
O'Clock a. m. Ia order to gain admit
tance to the bedroom the scoundrels
knocked in the window sash and shut.
ters, and jumping through the opening,
one of them threw himself upon the old
man, and covered his head up with the
bed clothes. in order to stifle his cries,
the other proceeded to one of the trunks
standing in the room, which he seized,
and threw it out of the window. They
then dragged the old man from his bed
and severely beat him about the head
and shoulders with club, and then
made their exit through the window,
picking up the trunk, and making off
with it, The trunk was found on Sat
urday morning, by Mr.. Martin Graver,
in strip of woods, about $50 yards
from the house, with hole crushed in
the side, and from which a gold watch
and chain, silver watch,a gold scales,
and few triaing articles had been
taken. A small sum of money, scme
iewelry and other articles had escaped
the hands of the villains. Ole peculiar
circumstance connected with this af-
fair is the fact that there were several
trunks in the room, and yet the rascas
knew just which one was the mot valu-
able We are pleased to state that the
old man, though severely pounded, is
hot considered dangerously injured.
