NOT SIGNIFICANT.
In the House of Commons, William
Henry Smith, first Lord of the Admiralty,
said that the movements of the British
fleet in Besika Bay are destitute of polit-
cal, significance. The channel squadron,
in the Mediterranean for the past eigh-
teen months, has returned to Plymouth.
CONSULATE MOVED.

has been removed to Astrabad, at the foot
of the northern slope of Elbrooz. This
fact is interesting in view of the Russian
operations.

BEAcoNsF1EID's DEFENCE.
At the Lord Mayors banquet, at the
Mansion House tonight, Lord Beacons-
field, replying to toast to Her Majesty's
Minister, said: When last addressed you
affairs appeared to have assumed a very
critical aspect. We were accused of nego-
and it was charged that under the pretext
of acquiring the Asiatic Indian frontier,
we had launched the country into a war
full of disasters. This impracticable treaty
has been fully executed. Not a single Rus
sian soldier remains in Turkey" The
Gar has honorably fulfilled his engage
ments, and is now cooperating with
England and other powers in endeayors
to maintain peace.
1t has been stated that. Turkey has not
been faithful in executing her engage
ments and that consequently we had not
realized the reforms in her provinces,
promised by the Sultan, but it is only just
to consider that her domains we're only a
few days since freed from the presence
the treaty of Berlin, questions more
numerous and.more difficult in the rear
rangement of the Turkish province have
risen before the Sultan, than have prob
ably risen within the same time before
any monarch heretofore. do not wish
to add anything in relation to the treaty
of Berlin. This treaty has taken its place |
among the archives of the capitals of
Europe. It's end is to assure general
peace and if dangers and difficulties
superyene in these countries to which the
treaty relates, I believe its conditions
ana resources will suffice for every case
eventually. Regarding the Indian frontier
the object of war has been accomplished
with great precision and rapidity. In re-
lation to the Zulu war it is believed that
in very shorttime the news will arrive of
a satisfactory solution of all African ques-
tions.
AS to the commercial depression of the
country, one of the secondary causes is |
imprudent speculation, and there are al
ready signs Of its amelioration. If there
are good harvests in all parts of the world, |
1 believe the darkest days of depression |
will have been seen.
Beaconsfield insisted that landed pro-
perty ought to continue as at present.
The conclusion of Beaconstield's speech |
was received with frantic cheers.
The speeches of the other Ministers re-
ferred to, were purely on local topics.
