ness. Numerous devices have been employed to
counteract its banefu effects, with but little success
1t has been the good fortune of this firm, after
long experiment, TO solve this enigma by substitu
tanning centres. This is one of the greatest
improvements i'm planes made i'm this cen
made in the world that il insensible TO Mt

and the beauty and permanence of its tone, this

From the &pectator.)

1t is believed throughout Europe
that the chances of war between
Greece and Turkey have seriously
increased. Turkish obstinacy has
not, of course, been diminished by
the knowledge that France has re-
ceded from her promises to Greece,
and Turkey nov declines any form of
arbitration, and only offers to nego-
tate with Greece direct. This offer
the Greeks reject, their minds being
made up on two points,-that Turkey
will keep no promises except under
compulsion, and that they will accept
nothing less than the territory assign
ed them by the Conference of Berlin.
They reckon, if Europe deserts them,
on help from the Albanians, who
have resolved On independence On
an Arab instruction in Syria, which
is now imminent; and on the friend
illness of all the Powers, except
Austria. They declare that defeat
would be more tolerable than sub
mission, and have so far complet-
ed their preparations, that they will
be ready for war in February. Ofcourse
If the Powers are sincere in their wish
for peace, desperate efforts will be
made to compel Turkey to obey the
will of Europe but their perfect
sincerity is extremely doubtful. Either
they think Greece is only playing a

with invitations, the Jylland'S boats were
at the Kings wharf punctually at 7.30 p.

tour in the neighbourhood of the Upland,
after which the party arrived on board,
where, after exchanging courtesies, they
proceeded to indulge in terpsichorean
amusements, with occasional intermissiOns,
which where taken advantage of to enjoy
refreshments and delicacies. The entire
Company expressed themselves highly
gratified with their visit on board, where
the Commander and Officers were unre.

of the Upland in our harbour has been the
