London, Feb. 14.-The admiralty
has received a telegram from the Eng
lish Consul at Chanak Kalessi, on the
DaIdanelles, containing report of the
passage of six ships of the British fleet
up the straits yesterday. The Turkish
Pasha made formal protest at Chanak
Kalessi, but no measures were taken to
prevent the passage. The admiral's
orders were to enter the straits with or
without leave, and make arrangements
to secure his rear. The ships were
prepared for action.
English Ironclads Before Cons,antrnople.
London, Feb. 14.-In the House of
Commons, this afternoon, Sir Stafford
Northcote confirmed the statements
already made regarding the passage of
the Dardanelles by the British fleet.
He also said the government had re-
ceived communication from Russia,
stating that the intelligence that Great
Britain and other powers had deter
mined to send ships to Constantinople
for the protection of their subjects
obliged Russia to consider the proper
means for protecting Christians whose
lives and property might be threatened,
and for this purpose the Russian gov
ernment was obliged to contemplate
the entry of a portion of its troops into
Constantinople. He said that the
British government had protested
against this view, declaring it can see
no parallel between the two courses
proposed. The Lord Chancellor's state
ment was received with loud cheers
from the Conservative benches.
In the House of Lords, Lord Derby
made a similar statement. Lord Derby
also read a dispatch from Prince Gort-
schakoff, informing him of the Russian
occupation of Constantinople, which
Prince Gortschakoff adds is merely
pacific measure.

Under this head Mr.. Mann also alluded
to novel literature, and denounced the
Ne,c York Ledger, and other papers Of
that class in unsparing terms. He then
alluded to the wicked as being in
GREAT ECCLEsIAsrICAL POWER,
and under this head alluded to the Papa
cy, the power of which, he said, was be-
ing broken steadily since 1t had been
deprived of temporal strength. He next
referred to the wicked in their
GREAT SCIENTIFIC POWER,
and alluded to the efforts of eminent sci
entists to disprove the truths Of religion
When science, he said, goes beyond phi
losophical facts and deals in theory, sci
ence makes fool of itself. The

The report that MIR. CoNKLING and others
intend to try Nr. HATEs's title to the pre-

could be proved that the HAYES electors in

Mr.. HAYEs's title, which is as good as was

sumes that Mr.. CoNKLING is a fool, and that
his aiders and abettors are dupes. II hardly

bined all the excellent qualities of the
former with the good nursing, diges-
tive and prolific qualities of the lat
ter, and obtain the most rapid grow
ing and profitable pig that can be de-
sired. Mr.. Harris, one of the most re-
liable aud experienced swine breeders
in this country, says that Mr.. George
Mangels, one of the most successful
breeders and feeders in York shire, as
serts that all the crosses having the
small breed for the sire always paid
Hewitt Davis, an extensive English
breeder, says, Breed from large,
strong sows, with bears of finer breed,
having in view the gaining of large
iarrows, good nursing and rapid at
tainment of weight; look to the moth
er for nursine, and TO the father to
correct coarseness of form in the
mother" To this Mr.. Harris adds:
Aim to get the digestive powers of
the large breed in the body of a small
highly refined pig. 1t is mistake to
refine and reduce the size of the large
breed, and then breed from these i'm.
proved pigs OF the large breed. TO
prod uce pigs merely for the butcher,
we should resort 10 crosses with a
large, vigorous, unpampered SOW, put
TO the finest thoroughbred boar of the
small breeds that can be obtained.
The larger the sow and the smaller
the boar, the more will the little pigs
be able to eat i'll proportion to their
size, and the greater will be their
growth in proportion to the food con-
sumed. "-Prdctical Farmer.
