RUs,A's movement upon Merv and
Herat threatens TO be brought to grief,
Just as it is about to be carried out, by
the dissatisfaction and tue threatening
attitude of Persia. Russia has for
years endeavored to make Persia a
useful neutral, by whose aid she could
cover her flank while advancing upon
India. But Great Britain seems to APP
preciate the advice OF Mr.. EAstwick,
given years ago, to the effect that it
was proper in the defense of India,
first of all to secure Persia" The
state tanks the whole Russian line of
march to Herat, aud could strike it
with fatal effect al any point. Persia
has long coveted Herat and besides,
does not look upon the Aighans with
favor. These are Sunites, or orthodox
Mohamedans while the Persians are
heretical Shiites, followers of and
believers in the doctrine of Ali. There
has always been war between these two
seots, and the Persians, while naturally
jealous of Russian occupation of He
rat, are inclined TO look upon the CON
quest of Candahar and Cabul, by the
British, with eomplacency.

Then he wenl away and became a

A few steps farther on was the power
fal institution whose influence is felt in
finance and trade all over the world
the Bank of England. Bounded on all
four sides by the street, all its windows
prudentally open into u central court,
and since the riots Of 1880 it has been
occupied every night by a detachment
of soldiers. Its business requires a
working force of one thousand two
ed within the building. The same note
is never paid out over its counter twice.
The new bill that is issued this morning
is retired as soon as it returns, no mat
ter if the same man pays it in again
this afternoon without a wrinkle i'll it.
1t is allowed to issue notes to the
amount of fI5, 100000 on the security
ofits standing loan of a much larger
amount to the government, which con-
stitutes part of the public debt. For
every note issued above that-and it
has circulation of over 100000, 900
bullion of an equal amount must be
paid into its treasury, and must be kept
there for the redemption of the note
when it returns. The traveller on the
continent often finds its notes at a
premium in gold. No note is issued of a
less denomination than E2. Every note
is numbered, and the name of the party
to whom it is paid out is carefully re-
corded. The practice of keeping
memorandum which will show from
whom he receives every bank-note that
passes through his hands is common.
also with the painstaking London
tradesman. 1t proved a ortunate thing
for friend of mine on one occasion.
He had given his wife f10 note. Their
little child got hold of the porte-mon-
maize and destroyed the note-as they
supposed, by throwing it on the open
fire. There would have been no hope
of realizing on greenback under such
circumstances. But $50 was worth try
ing for. The number of the note was
ascertained from the parties through
whose hands it came to my friend, a
sworn statement OF the facts was filed
at the bank, and after year or so had
passed without its having been present
ed for redemption the bank paid over
the money. The bank takes in and
pays out its gold coin by weight Some
times it sends out sealed package and
receives it again before the seal is
broken, and yet deducts quite a sum
from the amount at which it paid 1t
out, to make good the loss-dete cted
by the unerring scales which occurred
by the abrasion of the coins in trans.

A New YORK telegram of the 9th inst

not likely to remain in Office. He has
elected altogether only seven aldermen.
Anii-tnnmany has been successful at

Robinson's plurality in the city is 1857
in a total poll OF 14S,94S Robinson
polled 1866, Cornell 46,049, and Kelly
I9, 263. The city vote for Potter, demo-
cratic candidate for lieutenant governor,
was 9S,727 which is majority OF 67, 992
over Haskins, republican candidate. Tbs
independent republican vote, which
scratched Cornell and voted for Robin
son, is estimated at 1000 in the city and
about 10000 in the state. The vote in
the city this year was $3.50 greater than
last year, and Fl 300 less than
in 1876. In Brooklyn the democratic
ticket has been Overwhelmingly
successful. Robinson's vote Is 44,220.
His plurality over Cornell is 1913, and
his majority over Cornell and Kelly is
5,34S. The democratic city ticket Is
elected Two democrats and one repub.
lican are elected TO the senate, and six
democrats, four republicans, and two in
dependents to the assembly. The Times
says Cornell carried forty-six of the six
ty counties in the state, and his vote will
exceed Gov Robinson's by from 10000
to $4,000. Kelly's vote seems to have
been somewhat larger in the state than
was at first supposed, but as it has not
been reported by all counties, it is diff.
cult to say what the total will be. 1t is
probable, however, that it will not fall
much short of 10000, including
New York and Kings counties. The
legislature is strongly marked. The
next senate will consist of "a republicans
ana democrats, with the eighth district
doubtful, the election being claimed by
both republicans and democratic candi,

Browning. In the assembly there will be
81 republicans and 80 democrats, giving
a republican majority of SO, and secur-
