FRESH DIFFICULTIES.

a Congress instead of a conference, expressed
some apprehension lest such general meet
ing, without any distinct limitations, might
lead to discussion of Other questions, than
the Eastern question. Whether it be
that some other powers share
this view, or whether as the Agence Rnsse
says, Germany has come back to her objec-
tons about taking the presidency, certain it
is there is a disposition to drop the idea of a
congress accepted on the initiative of Russia,
and revert to the original idea of
mere conference, and negotiations
about the preliminaries which seemed
on the point of being concluded, have had to
begin afresh.
DANGERS APPREHENDED.
LONDON, Feb. 22-In his statement in the
House of Lords, last evening, Lord Derby
said he was not aware that any communica-
ton had passed between the powers about
the members of the conference. AS for
England, great inconvenience would result
from the absence of her foreign minister
from the cabinet and Parliament for the
several weeks which the conference will
probably sit. Therefore, said Lord Derby,
! we will not depart from the ordinary course
of sending an ambassador with full powers,
and believe majority of the powers will
adopt similar course.
The Times, commenting on the state
ments in Parliament last night, says: I'm
mediate anxiety is allayed. Two dangers re-
main-one that the Turks may even yet be
encouraged to resistance by the vote of credit
and the recent movements of English ships;
the other that the approximation of the war
like forces of England and Russia may lead
| to an accidental collision.
ENGLISH woRK1NGMEN.
The workingrnen's peace demonstration
announced for Hyde Park Sunday next, will
be persisted in. Five hundred voluntary
special constables will be sworn in to protect
! the platform. An anti-Russian counter de-
monstration will be organized unless the
weather should be unfavorable, thus prevent
ing the expected large turnout. The affair
| is likely to be very uproarious.
The meeting at Agricultural hall was
abandoned from fear of disturbances. Glad
stone did not refuse to speak, but the man
ayers of Agricultural hall demanded in
demnity against damage, which the pro-
motors of the meeting refused.
FIGHTING IN GREECE.
LONDON, Feb. GA telegram from Ath-
ems reports the Turks occupied Platenos this
morning and burned a portion of the town.
The insurgents receiving reinforcements re-
captured the place at noon.
BELGRADE, Feb. 22-The Roumanian
forces having left Bulgaria the Russians have
requested the Servian division to occupy
Widden and Belgradchik.

BERLIN, Feb. pa dispatch says Prince
Bisnarck's speech is disliked in South
Germany, where the popular wish is to sup
port Austria. Assurances counteractine

USELESS DIVISION.
The 1gence Russe says: Nemyk Pash,
will not come to st. Petersburg. Such
mission as was entrusted to him could serv
no purpose, as the Grand Duke Nicholas
| invested with full powers to treat with Tur
key. The journey of Nemyk Pasha would in
crease the delay in the negotiations for peac
and Turkey is wrong to persevere in thi
course
INDIGNATION IN RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 22.-The state {
, feeling here in consequence of recent events
: especially the speech of Prince Bismarck i
e the Reichstag, is fairly represented by th
