meeting ia which the Satisfaction a. tha steps
taken by tue Government WAS expressed and
after each m Getting addresses Of o5n6lenos, noe
only signed by voters from the towns, but also
by many from tho country, have bean sent to
the Ministry.
Ia the Conntry-districts tho meetings have
been Of a more strictly political nature, and tho
greater number Of them in the interest of the
United left. A few meetings ia Sje'lacd, Of q
decidedly Right tsndsnOy, have, however, been
held. and a large meeting in M6rk0v, a village
between Kllundborg and II 'Ibak in Sjelland,
attracted great attention. This district hal al
ways been extreme Left, but At tho meeting Of
the 18th instant, at which ab nv 1900 pee3onB
were present, the Right gained suoh y singular
victory, that even q vote Of confidence was
sent to the Ministry.
Tomorrow thore is to be hell . large meet

from the Different Left circles are invited, Ia

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The progress of ths Russians through
Roumania must be expected to seem slow
in comparison with the first dash across
the Pruth. The roads are still SO bad that
long trains of siege guns, commissariat wag-
gons, aud great masses Of men cannot be
moved quickly. Nor do the Russians need
to risk mach for the sake of speed now
that they hold GaIatz and have thus secur.
ed a main link in the chain of communi-
cation with their sources of supply. They
are clearly making their preparations as
complete as possible, The example set
by Germany in her contest with Francs
has not been lost upon them ; and, In
truth, so many Of their own officers are Ger
mans that they may BE- expected to show
q peculiarly practical familiarity with ths
lessons Of Count Won Moltke. They may
think it the less necessary to hurry across
the D4nube before they are ready because
time is fighting on their side. Every
week of inactivity seriously wastes the
resisting power of a country which alrea-
dy seems to have stripped its fields bare
Of able-bodied Mussulmans. Rebellion aud
border warfare are also doing the work of
Russia. The Insurgents OF Herzegovina
are again 10 the field the Montensgrins

We translate the two following from
=" L' Mo"iteu de Ia Ma, tiniqus:"
A New PETROLEUM LAMP.-One Of the
Belgian subscribers to the "Science pour
tous" gives the following information
about new petroleum lamp: An intel
ligent Belgian artisan, Mr.. Lietar, has
just invented a most ingenious lamp.
Thanks to this Invention, persons need no
more fear those explosions, those scci-
dents aud fires, Which have aincs thu
, 1877-05-23

adoption Of petroleum for lighting puv.
poses, caused the death of 30 many.
The invention is so simple, that we won
der it has not been found out before.
The lamp. which is made in the usual
manner, is of brass or any other metal.
It consists of two parts the reservoir to
contain thu petroleum, and in the reser-
voir a cylinder to cOn6ne the wick. In
the smaller part ofthis cylinder there is q
hole, of small diameter, through which
the petroleum passes in proportion to the
requirements Of the lamp. Thus the petrO-
leum does not CONS in dirsst contact
with the fame. Consequently the lamp
may be blown out, upset or allowed to fall,
and the fame will go out without the
least danger Of explosion or fire.
A USEFUL TREE.-Tae " Revus agri-
cole de Provence" calls the attention OF its
readers to a tree, the usefulness OF which
depends on certain conditions of the soil
and climate. We mean the "Myrica Cert.
fera, "originally from Carolina, which pos
sesses ia q great degrees the property Of i'm.
proving the air of marshes, and con.
sequentIy making houses near them less
unhealthy. Its fruit is covered with a
kind of iarinac aols wax which makes
candles that give ont a very agreeable
scent ia burning. Tnis tree grows ma
turaIIy in marshes. upon the sides OF
streams, and in we'll watered %prairies.
1t grows from the seed, which it produces
a0undantly, and also from slips.

Bred On the ground OF newly discovered evidence
motion was made before Judge Van Worst the
Superior Court, Special Ierm yesterday to open this
Judgment. Several aifdavils were read setting up
that plan was formed TO smuggle the goods through
the Custom House, and that the goods were taken
