England and Russia.

LONDON, March 30.
The Times says editorially: Neither
of the objects which Russia proclaimed
at the outset nor the reports of the war
have justified her advance upon Con-
stantinople or her approach to the Bos-
phorus and the Dardanelles. AS long as
she remains in that menacing position
we shall feel that it is necessary to
retain our ships in the Sea of Mar
mora, and so long, consequently, will
peace be uncertain. 1t is Russia
who has trespassed upon the for
bearance of England, not England
who has shown lack of considera-
ton for her. That forbearance has
now been strained to its utmost limits,
but nothing but necessity would induce
us to assert our rights by force, and a
timely and temperate concession on the
part of the Russian Cabinet would,
WITHOUT in the least degree compromis-
ing the interests of Russia, insure the
peace of Europe"

Specie Resumption,
WAsUISaTON ATarcl

WASHINGTON March %.
A report has been submitted to the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency by the subcommittee, consisting
of Messrs. Chittenden and Ewing, which
recently visited New York city for the
purpose of ascertaining the present
condition of the Sub-Treasury in that
CITY with regard to the amount of gold
held there belonging to the United
States Government and to others. and
with view of comforting with certain
financial gentlemen regarding the
practicability of the proposed resump-
ton of specie payments on the LIST of
January next The following are the
substantial points of the report
The bankers were of the opinion that
resumption at the earliest practicable
momentwa not only consistent with the
public welfare, but was of the greatest
Importance to the best prosperity of the
country; also, that resumption on the
lst of January, 1879, might be made
practicable and safe if adequate meas
ures should be adopted; but all who eX-
pressed themselves on the subject were
agreed that the plans of the Secretary
of the Treasury were inadequate, and
| that if he should make an attempt to
resume on the 1st of January under
such circumstances as were likely to
exist at that time the attempt would
most probably fail. They were of the
opinion also that the RECOMMENDATION OF
silver had seriously interfered with the
probabilities of resumption ut the time
fixed.

THE QUEENS MESSAGE.


The Queens message, read in the two
Houses to-day, is as follows;
The present state Of public affairs in the
East, aad The necessity of taking steps for the
maintenance of peace and for the protection
OF the interests Of the Empire, having consti-
tuted, in the opinion Of Her Majesty, case Of
great emergency within the meaning Of the
acts of Parliament In that behalf Her Majesty
deems 1t proper TO provide additional means
for public service. Therefore, in pursuance
OF these acts, Her Majesty has thought it
right to communicate to the House of Com
mons that she is about to direct that the re-
serve force and militia reserve force, or such
part thereof as Her Majesty may think neces-
sary, be forthwith called out for permanent
service.

Secretary Sherman was before the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency to-day and replied to the state
ments of the New York bankers. He
took the ground that if there was any
doubt about the ability of the Govern
ment, with its present means, to meet
all demands of the Resumption act,
there would be no doubt whatever about
it if he were authorized either to issue
a popular per cent. loan, or to sell A
per cent. bonds TO the bankers. He
said he had guarantees of all the specie
that could be required if he would sell
these A per cent. bonds,.and it should
be recollected that the rate of interest
was lower than had heretofore beer
known in the history of this Govern
ment.
