England and the Eastern Question.


In the House of Lords yesterday afternoon
Lord BeacOnsiield criticised the treaty of San
Stelan0, drawing conclusions similar to those
contained in Lord Salisbury's dispatch. He
said the congress would not take place after
RuSSla's refusal to conform to her previous
engagements and to the treaty of Paris. The
Egyptians once threatened COnStantinOple ::
mere was consequently no reason why the
Russians might not march to the SueZ canal
ne could not conceive why England should be
unarmed when all the other powers were arm
ing. The British empire must not only be
enjoyed, but maintained. Lord Granville
criticised the details of the governments past
lR oilcY, bnt upon general review Of the situa-
lon ne drew conclusions favorable to peace
Lord Derby denied the existence of an emer-
gency Justifying the calling out of the reserves.
Inc only conceivable motive for haste, of
winch, however, he would not accuse the gov
eminent, was to take advantage of the war
ieellng IN the country. Even an Austrian
alllance was very doubtful and all the other
power powers We're certain to stand aloof: Why,
under these circumstances, ShOufH England

DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
IN the House OF Commons Sir Stafford North
cote, proposing the address thanking the
queen for her proclamation, said the calling
OUT OF the reserve was not intended to alarm
tne country. The tone adopted by the speaker;
was studiously moderate. He said he believed
tnat even now Russia, on calmer cOnsidera-
tlon, would accede to England's view. If,
however. England were denied the opportu-
nlty OF participating in general European
seulement, 1t was the duty of the government

harmed. Mr.. Gladstone said the chancellor
OF the eXchequer had failed to show the eX-

National Theater.-" Uncle Toms Cabin"
was performed here by the Jarrett and Pal
mer eOmpinstion last night before large au-
dlenee. 1t Is new version Of the story, in
some respects, and was pretty fairly given for
a nrst time. The plantation scene is the fea
ture OF the piece, but there is also some very
clever acting by the exceptionally strong cast
which appears in the play. The performance
extends too far into the night. however. and
the play might be materially improved by
little jgdicious pruning in parts. Our play.
SOerS should see this troupe before their de-
parture for Europe.
Hess English Opera Company.-The an
nOuncement is made that this company, which
was so successful on a former visit here dur

Searle, MessrS. Castle, Turner, Peakes, Sequin

tiIul opera, The Chimes of Normandy" is
promised at least twice.

evening warmly aPpauded the excellent pro-
gramme offered. The same excellence, with a
variety now and then, may be expected every
evening this week.

Corning delivers here this evening the last of
his delightful Illustrated art lectures. The
lecture Will be interesting to those who may
not have greatly enjoyed the Doctors previous
efforts, dealing, as it does, with art as it now
Is, instead OF its condition years or centuries
ago. Art in the Nineteenth Century" is the
title of the lecture.

n0uncement that they are 20 Liue Together
Agdin.-The news that Mrs. TitOn had finally
yielded to the entreateS of Theodore and the
elder children fell upon Plymouth church like
thunderbolt. Yesterday il was conceded on
all hands that the reunion was an accomplish
ed fact. Mr.. Shearman. without saying that
he knew it to be so. admitted that he believed

that they had reason to believe Mrs. Titon had
eapitulated to her husband and her mother.
Mr.. Beecher's friends are divided in opinion.
Some, regard it as the best thing that could
y haaPtRR to him THEY argue that
false he would not be SO stupid as to beg his
wife to return to him. If he takes her again as
his wife, they say, he admits her innocence.
On the other hand. many of Mr.. Beecher's
friends gard Mrs. Tilton as a weak vaciIating
woman, from whose lips charges and retrac-
tons flow with equal readiness and they eX-

the woman, and manifested it by acts of per-
SOnal recognition, calls, assistance of various
kinds, and continuous sympathy, are now out

A CAMP OF SNAKEs.-Some boys hunting for
fish bait on a meadow at Glen Cove. L. L. a
day or two ago, discovered an immense den
OF snakes. The meadow is perforated with
holes over the extent of about an acre. and
from each of these holes protruded the heads
of three or four of the reptiles, which kept up
lively Kissing at the intruders on their do
main, while from tufts of grass numerous
other heads were seen. They were of the
species known as blackSnakeS The boys
