The case of Samuel SchGn, arrested on

until to-day, and the accused committed i'll
default Of $1,000 bail.
Stephen Campbell, charged with stealing

Miss DAVENPORT AS LADY GAY AND
NANCY SYKEs.-A large and fashionable au-
dience greeted Miss Fanny Davenport last
night. but not as large as the lady and her
fine company deserved. In the whole range
OF the drama there are not two more widely
different characters than Lady Cav Spanker,
the dashing heroine OF London Assurance,
and Marcy Sykes, the vilainous one OF Oil
yer Twist. To play such characters de-
mands great versatility, but Miss Davenport
was equal to the demands OF the occasion,
and received able support in each and ev-
cry character.
At the matinee to-day the great emotional
play OF Divorce will be presented. To-
night the society comedy OF Lemons, one
of the best on the boards. It will be long
before our play-goers will have such an
other chance for genuine enjoyment. The
Theatre to-day should be filled, and the
gifted and beautiful artist and her talented
company receive an old-fashioned Virginia
farewell.
Miss Dayenport's engagement concludes
the spring dramatic season at the Theatre.
THE DoUTNEY TEsTIMoSIAL.-By no
means as large an audience greeted Mr..
DoutneY on the occasion OF his testimonial
as his efforts in this city in behalf OF the
temperance cause demanded and deserved.
A very attractive programme was rendered
to the satisfaction OF all present. The in
disposition of Mrs. Doutney was a subject
Of general regret. Mrs. ReinharGt, Mrs.
Knowles, Miss Burgess, and Messrs. Red
ford,' Ardron, Grant, Hartley, and Signor
Liberatl, all contributed in no small degree
to the enjoyment OF the audience, and were
literally applauded. The cornet and xylo.
phone solos OF the latter were loudly
cheered.
Mr.. Dontney and his c,-laborers will
carry away with them the best wishes OF
many of our best citizens.

LIGENcER OF 22d. lst. have called on
DR.. J. r. Thomas and his wife, who un-

any intention on the part OF Mrs. Petit.
They emphatically denied all knowledge
Of any legal proceedings, or Of having in.
formed any one Of such steps. They
seemed heartily TO commiserate the ,un-
fortunate lady involved, and to acquit
her Of evil intent. ID. However, Mrs.
Petit may "feem," she Is certainly not
indifferent" but Ia still greatly afflicted
over the sad occurrence, though the
child has been we'll for weeks. The truth
in all such cases is bad enough, and there
are not a few "citizens," who aare filled"
with sorrow and commiseration, rather
than Indignation" though none would
attempt any justification. ~.

ENGLAND.
London Press on the Peace Con.
dItiOnR.

LONDON, January 25.-Count Schouy-
alof, the Russian Ambassador, had long
interview with Lord Derby at the lattes's
private residence to-day.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in leader, says
that It considers the alleged terms Of
peace about as hard as they could we'll be
made and as amounting 10 virtual de-
struction OF the Turkish empire and re-
duction Of the Sultan to the condition Of
a Russian yaSsal. II, says the Ga;eite,
after the publication ofthesetermSth the res.
ignations Of Lords Derby and Carnarvon
are Withdrawn, We may conclude that no
effective resistance will be made by
England TO whatever agreement the Car
and Sultan may come 10.
In the House Of Lords this afternoon,
Lord Beaconsfeld, in reply 10 the ques-
ton propounded by the Earl Of Sand.
wicb, said II was fact that instructions
had been given 10 the fleet to proceed to
the Dardanelles and ConAantinople, and
at the same time the government had pre-
pared to telegraph TO the European
powers, including Russia and the Porte,
that in the course the government had
followed there was not the slightest devia.
tion from the policy OF neutrality she had
from the first assumed. He maintained
that the British fleet went to the Dar-
danelles TO defend British subjects and
British property and take care OF the
British interests In the straits. Since
the government had arrived at that con.
clusion they had become acquainted with
the proposed conditions Of peace, and
having examined these conditions the
government was Of the opinion they were
the basis for an armistice, and therefore
they had given directions TO the Admiral
to remain at Besika Bay. They had not,
under that circumstance, circulated
throughout Europe the telegraphic dis
patch to which he had referred.
The Earl Of Carnaryon rose TO make
personal explanation. He said that in
order 10 justify his conduct he wished TO
state the reasons which led him 10 place
his resignation Of Colonial Secretary in
in the hands Of Her Majesty. That step
he had taken, and this afternoon the
Queen was graciously pleased to accept
1t. He would not impute blame to any
Of his colleagues, but circumstances had
arisen which rendered it incumbent on
him to take the course he named. he
disseuted from the resolution for sending
q fleet TO the Dardanelles, and also to the
supplementary vote which the Chancellor
OF the Exchequer had proposed to take
on Monday. he considered that such
vote ought not 10 have been mooted un-
I'll the terms OF peace had arrived and
become known. On January ID he had
occasion to address a deputation. II
would be remembered that he made
speech, in which he expressed his views
in regard to State affairs in the East.
On the following day, in the Cabinet, the
Prime Minister condemned severely the
language he had used. He (Lord Car.
naryon) took time TO consider the course
he should take. and rs there was no pub
lie disavowal OF the language which had
been used he felt justifedin rendering his
He maintained that be had
not in any way misrepresented the inten-
lions Of the government.

The Eastern question.

Matters look very unsettled in Eng.
land There is intense feeling in the
public mind, but as yet 1t has not taken
on decided war phase. The peace con-
claded between Russia and Turkey does
not give the former any new territory,
but it takes away come big slices from
Turkey, and virtually puts European
Turkey under the direct auspices Of Rus
'ia and Austria. Russia comes in for q
war indemnity and the freedom Of the
DArdauelIes. 1t is the latter feature thai
arou'es the apprehensions of England, Al
'Iplaces the future Of Russia right across
the track Of EnEland's power in the East

An Important S,ep by the Iron
Men

As will be seen by our Pittsburgh dis
patch, the Western Iron Association held
an important meeting yesterday, and
following the example Of the Nail men
resolved to limit production, by only
running their mills single turn. This
step will no doubt stifIen up the price ol
Manufactured iron whatever may be ia
effect on pig metal. Since Nail produc-
tion was curtailed there has been better
disposition among buyers, and the Pitts
burgh Manufacturer says that they "seem
more anxious 10 buy nov than they did
when prices were twenty-five cents per
key lower" and, what is.better still, they
have more confidence that prices will be
maintained.

HOUSE.
srEAMpoAr n111 p1scussEp.


Several bills having been introduce,
and referred, the House considered th
bill revising the steamboat laws.
Mr.. Harrison offered an amendmen
declaring pilots and engineers Of all steau
vessels officers, and that none but citi
zens Of or persons actually residing Il
the United States shall be licensed q
pilots and engineers. He said that owe
$4,000 had petitioned the House 10 pro
tect the poor men from being deiraldet
Of their rights by foreigners not resid
ing in the country. A large number o
men were idle to-day in the lake ports
while Canadians were employed by tn
owners OF vessels. He finally moved I,
strike out that part OF the amendmen
declaring that only citizens or actual res
idents shall be pilots and engineers. Afte
the discussion the amendment was with
drawn, and Harrison's amendment wa
adopted.
The bill was then passed. Yeas 17S
nays so.
Mr.. Singleton, Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Printing, reported back thu
Senate bill authorizing the Public Prin
ter 10 purchase material in open market
with the amendment providing tha, such
purchases shall not exceed $50 for any
particular article within the term Of sil
months, which amendment was agreed to
and the bill was passed.
Mr.. Tucker moved TO set aside the pri.
vate business for the purpose OF going
into committee OF the whole for the con-
sideration Of the bill extending the time
OF the withdrawal OF distilled spirits in
bond to July l, 1878. The yeas and nays
were ordered and resulted yeas lao, nays
l04, and the house therefore resolved IT.
self into committee Of the whole, Mr..
Carlisle in the Chair.
The general debate having been limited
to one hour, il being necessary before
considering the bill referred to by Mr..
Tucker 10 set aside those bills which have
priority on the calendar, several bills
were passed over. The opponents Of the
bill made an attempt to proceed with the
consideration Of the bill granting pen.
sions to the soldiers OF the Mexican war,
but were unsuccessful.
The bill extending the time OF the
withdrawal OF distilled spirits now in
bond till July l, 1878, having been reach.
ed, Mr.. Tucker proceeded to explain the
bill. He said that there was great agita.
tion throughout the country on the ques-
tion Of a reduction Of the tax on whisky.
The question was, should the House dur.
ing that agitation save from bankruptcy
and rnin the golden geese who were TO
lay golden eggs for the government. He
thought the bill a good one. The bill
had been drawn up by the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue, who had agreed that
some action should be taken by Congress.
Mr.. Burchard supported the bill, though
he declared he was opposed to q reduc.
tion Of the tax on whisky. He did not
believe the government could afford II.
He did not believe the House would vote
for bill which would reduce the tax on
whisky and increase it on tea and coffee.

able falling of in It's earnings for 1877,
as compared with those Of the Centennial
year. This was to have been expected,
and we do not see that the showing under
the circumstances is at all discouraging
The statement shows decrease in gross
earnings on all the lines east Of Pitts.

crease Of expenses ofsSO52, ,7G2, leaving a
net decrease of s2,72l,15 The lines
operated by the road west Of Pittsburgh,
including the G. & p, show a deficiency
in meeting all liabilities OF $i61 200.
The amount paid out by the company in
1877 was less by SS,OOO,OOO, on account
OF omitted dividends on It's stock, which
more than covers the decrease in net
earnings east Of Pittsburgh.
