Athens, May 1.-THE Turks have at
tackled the christians near Canea. Fighting
continues.
THE 1NsuRGENTs HOLD SEVERAL PASSES.
Vienna, May l7.-According to the
Wiener Tagblatt, the passes reported taken
by the insurgents are the Derbend, Balkans
and Trajan, gate. All attempts to dislodge
them are unsuccessful. The Turkish COM
missioners have thus far failed to accomplish
their mission.
NEW CONSTITUTION.
Panama, May 1.-THE constitutional
convention of Ecuador has adopted new
constitution, which is more illiberal than
that of Garcia Morena. Religious tolera-
tion is denied, and the country is completely
subjected to priestly rule. Business in
Guatemala is very depressed. Several fail
ures occurred-one, that of the Sugar Re-
filming company, of $35O000.
THE CONGRESS AGAIN.
st. Petersburg. May lit is believed
that Count Schouvaloff has succeeded in
convincing the emperor that it is Russia's
inte rest to concede to Europe most of the
demands formulated by England. The as
sembling Of the European congress appears
CONSEQUENTLY assured, despite the difficulties
which have arisen at Constantinople, con.
cerning the surrender OF the fortresses.

London, May 1.-THE condition of Earl
Russell is extremely critical.
TIE STOCK EXCHANGE

WAR NOTES.
London, May IA dispatch from Pera
says Although the advance of the Rus
slams, four kilometres near Constantinople,
is declared to be devoid of Significance, the
movement has nevertheless increased the
uneasiness here. The Russians, instead Of
being clustered in villages, are now ex
tended before the city, with their lines of
tents 10 manner impressive to the pop
ular mird.
London, May 17-Significance is attached
to belief current in we'll informed circles
that the channel squadron will leave Port
Said for Besika Bay Immediately after the
arrival Of the Indian troops.
NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION.
Manchester, May 17-There is little
hope on change that the masters will &C.
cept anything. except an unconditional re.
duction.
London. May 1.-THE excitement 10 east
Lancashire, rising from the differences be
tween the cotton master and operatives, is
still intense. The presence of the military,
and large bodies of palice, alone holds the
populace in check in several large towns,
and should to days efforts for settlement
fail. it is feared that these may not prove
adequate.
At meeting oftne operatives at Oldham
last night, it was resolved to strike against
the proposed five per cent reduction in their
wages.

We are very glad to publish the good
news of Ingmundson's improvement in
health, and his many warm friends will
rejoice with us. We have said before
and we say again, it 1ngmundson could
know the genuine and earnest solicitude
which is felt for his welfare and the
kindness which the oft repeated inquiries
after him evince, he would be almost re-
conciled to his sickness. We envy him.
We never saw an instance, where sick
man was so frequently and aflectionaeely
inquired after, as is Ingmund Ingmund-

MY DEAR S1R:-You are requested to
meet said person on Filtration Avenue, at
$50, evening of Saturday, Aug. II, 1878,
for the settlement of our old love affair.
In love, yours,
The above was handed US by ono of
Austin's young men, who read it as 1t
came fresh from the office. As was wise
and proper he was disguised, and has
paid no attention to the invite. 1t might
have been all proper and correct, but
young lady of her years should have
more discretion than to commit herself
on postal card. It's too bad, and we
hope that it was only trick of foolish
girl who is old enough to know better:
For the information of mothers and those
who don't know it, we will say that the
Avenue above named, is that part of Wa,
ter street between the Davidson House
and the iron bridge.
