nents' of the British feet to justify
the advance. but there is little doubt
that it must have been adopted prior
to those movements and indepen
IDENTIFY of them. 1t would have been
difficult for Russia to adopt a course
less likely to conciliate the good will
nf Europe or this country. Our cor.
respondent at st. Petersburg does not
give more cheerful report. 1t is
there said, he tells us, by persons Of
great influence that, while it is by no
means certain that the congress will
assemble, it is not very likely to be
successful if it does. England and
Austria are accused of being animated
not by mere desire to protect their
legitimate and material Interests, but
by jealousy of the military and diplo-
matte success of Russia. They are
supposed, therefore, to be DESTROYS Of
diminishing, as far as possible, the
consequences of the war. Russia, it
is stated, will declare that though
she is willing to have such questions
as that Of the straits discussed, the
conditions she has already signed are
the minimum of what she has the
right and determination to demand.
The diminution of the results of the
war being thus impossible, England,
it is said, will seek to increase them
by demanding the extension Of
Greece, but the effect of this will be
to break the last link of the English
alliance with Turkey, and the Sultan
will then recognize Russia as his
surest ally. That these wild notions
should be seriously entertained by
persons of authority in the Russian
capital indicates, as we have said, a
condition of mind by no means favor
able to a satisfactory conclusion of
the present negotiations. The terms
Of peace may prove an agreeable
surprise, but Russia is not assisting
Europe to place favorable construc-
ton upon Them"

ORANGE RIOTS IN TORONTO
TORONTO, March 19-Shortly after
midnight the mob advanced upon
Queen street and attacked Cosgrove's
tavern. The crowd inside answered
with royolvers, and the rioters re-
turned the fire. Hundrends of shots
were exchanged here, and stones
poured into the hotel until the win
dow sashes and furniture were COM
pletely demolished. The police,
ninety strong, charged the mob and
welded their batons with great
vigor. Four men were shot here,
and one, a young Protestant named
Jas. Clegg, it is feared, was fatally
wounded. Meantime another mob,
one thousand strong, opened fire with
stones upon Collins tavern, further
up Queen street, where Rosa was
believed to be lurking. Revolvers
were used here, but the police, fight
ing with matchless pluck against
enormous odds, cleared the street.
Rosa was driven out of town at II
O'Clock. Policeman Worth was struck
on the temple with a stone and
knocked senseless. All his comrades
were more or less injured. Probably
enc hundred and fifty rioters were
injured with stones and police batons.
The doctors offices are crowded with
the wounded, though as rule the
injured were taken away to avoid
arrest. Hundreds Of roughs are still
congregating in the lanes and back
streets, and police are parading the
streets in force.
A DESPERATE LEAP FOR LIB ERTY.
Boston, March 17.-Daniel Dwyer
and VIM. Haywood, each under ten
years sentence to the State prison,
broke from the guards while passing
through the yard this morning, and
running up to the third story of the
workshop, fastened the door behind
them. Before the officers could reach
them they ran a long plank out of a
window. (inner end being fastened
under a steam pipe and forming
spring board, and running out upon
it, Haywood made a desperate leap
clean over the wall under fire of two
guards and alighted safely on the
ground. Dryers missed footing and
fell thirty feet to the ground, break
ing leg and receiving other injuries
Hot pursuit was made on horseback,
and II haywood was shortly after re-
captured in Sonierville and returned
to his quarters. His running leap
from the third story over the wall to
the street beyond, without injury, is
one of the most remarkable in the list
