Russia and Bulgaria.

The vienna IOHitcUt correspondence
saws that VI. KARAvELoFF, the Bulgarian
political leader, "has received from ~.
Petersburg instructions to cooperate with
NJ. ZANKoFF as the first step in plan
for the removal of Prince FERDINAND from
the Bulgarian throne. If tho Bulgarian
leaders approve tire plan, NJ. KARAyE-
LOFT is promised the Necessary means to
carry it out
This news involves such bold declara-
ton on the part of Russia as hardly to
lie credible. If such instructions have
been sent and the construction that will
be put upon them is justifable, Russia
is not only at her old tricks, but seems
determined TO provoke hostilities with
ont further ado-hostilities in which all
the Powers VIII, it is almost certain,
take a hand. Both ZANKoFF and IA
RAvELoFF are thoroughly identified with
the Russian party. They are known as
arch conspirators. They are not only
told to conspire for the deposition of FER
DINAND, but are promisedt the means-pre-
sumably an armed Russian force-to carry
out the conspiracy. This hitter assistance
Austria has distinctly declared would be
ca@ts bclU. Occupation Of Bulgaria
of any kind by Russia, said Count Kali
NoKY in 1886, would be grave injury to
the vital interests Of the Hapsburg
empire. The empire, he added, did not
"wish peace at any price, and in the
event of conflict Austro-Hungary would
not stand alono. In his allusion to CO.
operation Count KALNoKY did not refer
simply to Germany. Already Lord
SALISBURY had justified him in counting
on English support. At the Guildhall
banquet the English Premier, in defining
British policy, had said that England had
noisolated interest in maintaining Bulga-
rian independence, yet she had cor
porate interest, and would Join the other
Powers, or any considerable portion Of
the Powers. if any occasion for the vim
dication of the Berlin treaty should arise.
Also. that the Judgment of Austria
would in the matter have enormous
weight in the counsels of the British
Government. That Austria could not if
she would recede from the position in
which Count KALNOKY placed her has
been abundantly proved, notably by the
demands and other uttcrances of the
Hungarian statesmen. That Germany
and Italy would regard Austras cause
their cause is shown by recent utter
ances of BISMARCK and CREsPI, and
last but not least Lord SALISBURY in his
address at the opening Of Parliament
made it clear that England had not
changed in the least her policy regarding
the Central European States There
never was time when the combination
against Russia was SO strong, and even
should it turn out that these last in
structions to the Bulgarian conspirator5
are mere bravado, it is possible that it
may prove to be dangerous brayadO.
Although there can be no question that
the triple alliance is an alliance for the
maintenance Of peace it is still possible
that the parties to it may find that war
is preferable to keeping up their tremen-
dous and expensive ornaments, and con
not be disposed to overlook an
excuse for fighting to keep the peace.

RICHMOND, Va, March y, 1855.
To the E'ditor Of the Dispatch:
A few days ago | was called on a mat
ter Of business to the hospitable resi-
dence of DR.. 4. G.. Booth. My wife ac-
conpanied me. DR.. Booth is the owner
of the "Carter-Grove estate, well
known to all the students Of the colonial
history of Virginia. We were hospita-
bly, entertained by the good Doctor and
his estimable wife.
During our visit. in company with
Mrs. Booth, we went to williamsburg
and during our brief stay were priyi-
legged to see much that Is exceedingly
interesting. 1t was our good fortune to
receive an invitation from Mrs. DR.. Cole
man to visit her in her home, which We
accepted. Through her kindness we
were permitted to inspect three services
of communion-plate given to the parish.
Gone was given to the jamestown
church by Francis Morrison, then Act
ing Governor Of the Colony in the alb
sence Of Sir William Berkeley, the date
being 1861 Legend on the side OF
the chalice and the face Of patin, Mix
not holy things with profane.
Tradition says that Queen Anne gave
a gold service consisting of two pieces
chalace aud patin. 1t is claimed by
some to have been the gift OF Colonel
John Page. History does not settle the
question. "The third of three pieces,
with the royal arms Of England, is I'M
dOubtedlv the Gift Of George Ill"
We also visited the Episcopal church,
which was built long before the Revolu-
ton. 4 committee of the ladies of VIII
liamsburg and vicinity are doing a most
praiseworthy work they are having the
lettering on the old tombstones in the
yard adjoining the church cleaned, so as
to make the inscriptions perfectly legi-
BILE.
The old powder-magazine, built long
before the Revolution, still stands, but is
sadly in need of repair. The ladies
want to purchase the old building, with
the ground upon which it stands, but
they lack the means with which to do so,
and would be gratifed 10 receive aid
from any who may he disposed to help
so praiseworthy an undertaking. If they
get the means l can promise that the old
building will soon be restored and pre-
served, ss L think it should be, for ages
to come.
ANY contributions may be sent to Mrs.
DR.. Coleman, Williamsburg, Va, of the
ladies committee having this noble work
in charge, by post-ofice order or by re-
gistered letter, which will be duly ac-
knowlodged.
/ trust that the ladies engaged in this
most praiseworthy undertaking will meet
with liberal response. l suppose that
81, 900 will be required to complete what
the ladies have undertaken. Monroe.

SEEKING HIS REJECTION.

Upon the assembling Of Congress Mrs.
lie Breton came 10 Washington and set
resolutely at work TO secure Major Rath-
bones rejection. Her high social stand
ing. her youth and beauty, together with
an energy that may well DO described as
indomitable, insured her a respectful
hearing from all with whom she spoke
She succeeded in enlisting the sympathy
of such prominent Democratic senators
as Morgan Of Alabama, Butler Of South
Carolina, and Voorhees, Of Indiana.
These gentlemen have delayed action in
this matter for the past four months
Meanwhile Major Rathbone's friends
havealsO been at work, and the result IS
that on Thursday OF this week the Com
merce Committee, before whom the nom
ination is pending, will report it iayora-
bly, to the Senate.
This action on their part arises from
the fact that recent developments have
shown that in delaying Mr.. lie Bretons
appointment Major Rathbone was acting
under specific instructions from Secre-
tary Bayard, who wished the new Consul
General to become familiar with hisduties
before any changes in the personnel Of
the Office were made. Several members
Of the Senate committee said to-day that
a great injustice had been done to Major
Rathbone in so long Withholding his
confirmation. The six senators from the
Pacific slope will vote III his favor, and
it is believed that tine opposition to his
confirmation will be cOmDaratiYely In
significant.

A PRETTY womAN's VENGEANCE.
hbe Tries 10 Prevent Confirmation CT
the sTrn Who Deceived Her
Husband.

4 Washington special says : For seye-
raj months past a pretty little woman has
haunted the corridors Of the national
Capitol. She is seeking revenge upon
the man who she claims has injured her
husband. She may not succeed in her
object. In fact the chances are greatly
against it. But no one Will deny that
she has made a plucEy fight, and that if
her cause were more just she would carry
with her the blessings Of half the
people of Washington.
The pretty Boman--to be moro expli-
cit-is Mrs. lie Breton, Of San Francis
co. She is trying TO defeat the conhrma-
ton Of Major Rathbone. the present
United States Consul-General at Paris.
Mrs. lie Breton claims that one OF the
conditions Of Major Rathbone's appoint
ment was the selection of her husband
as Nice-Cousul. This agreement, she
SAYS. Major Bathbone declined to carry
out until confronted by the possibility
that his nomination would not be con-
frmed. Then, and not until then, did
Major Rathbune do Mr.. lie Breton tardy
justice When the appointment was
finally made Mr.. Le Breton refused to
accept it.
