LONDON ADVICES.

| LONDON, Jan. 3-Mr. Gladstone's tele-
gram disclaiming the accuracy of the
translation of his letter suggesting that
the position Of the pope be made the sub
! ject international arbitration, has led to
correspondence on the subject W hich will
appear in the Tablet tomorrow. Mr.. Cox,
from Mr.. Gladstone clearly refers to the
present position of the pope, and
he places side by side Mr..
Gladstone's letter in Italian and
the translation in English proving the ac-
curacy of the translation which Mr.. Glad
stone declared Enthusiastically. Mr.. Glad
stones words in writing to the Marquis De-
Rise, are as follows:
| consider the question of the pope's po-
sition of such Importance as to merit the
Intervention of an international arbitra,
ton. boast that was the promoter or
the international arbitration in connec-
ton with the Alabama question. By such
method it would be possible to unlock
the difficulty relating to the vatican.
The Pail Mall Gazette upholds the accur-
acy of the translation, and asks Mr.. Glad
stone to explain what he means if he does
not mean International arbitration of the
pOpe's position.
Ever since the wrecking of the czar's
train at Borki, the czarina has suffered
from mental depression, which has in
creased to a point causing the utmost
anxiety for her health. Her symptoms
closely resemble the malady with which
her sister, the Duchess of Cumberland, was
afflicted some time ago and Professor Silkin,
the cZarina's regular physician, has ad-
vised the car to have her treated by Pro-
lessor Leidesdorf, of Vienna. under whose
treatment the Duchess of cumberland was
cured. The almost absolute certainty
that the disaster to the cars train was
the result of criminal conspiracy, and not
of accident as at first supposed, has had
much to do with the cZarna's increased
depression of spirits, and it is believed that
a Sojourn outside the boundaries of Rus
STA for time would prove highly benefi-
cial to her.
Sir James Hammer, president of the
Parnell commission, is in London for the
purpose of comforting with his associate
commissioners in the matter OF another
contempt case upon which the commits
sion will act at its next sitting. The iden-
tlty OF the person or persons held to be in
contempt is not disclosed and the silence
observed on this point is creating a feel
ing of nervousness in the breasts of many
persons who have expressed themselves
concerning the actions of the commission,
in print aud otherwise, quite freely
Sir John Pender, in an interview with
correspondent at Glasgow today, showed
quite plainly the extent of his anxiety to
reoccupy the vacant parliamentary seat
for Govan, by the bid he made for the suf-
frages of those interested in the increase of
business on the Clyde. If elected, he said,
he would bring to the Clyde all of the
work in connection with the laying and
maintaining of submarine telegraphs.
What he would do in the matter in the
matter in the event of his defeat, he did
not, however, say.
