Bismarck, it is said, believes a Congress possible, provided the powers consent to the retrocession of Bessarabia, the extension of Russia iv Asia as far as- Erzeroum, and pecuniary indemnity to Russia. The London " Standard's " statement that Germany's efforts at mediation have been well received in London, has produced a favourable impression at St. Petersburg. The desire for an understanding is_ real. Four per cents continue active at Berlin. GORTSCHAKOFF'S REPLY TO SALIS BURY. Prince Gortschakoff has replied to Lord Salisbury's circular, and the lull text was published in the London "Times" of the 9th. The Prince contests Lord Salisbury's assertions point to point, but the general tone of his reply appears to be conciliatory. The " Time's," in commenting on the document, says : " England has no ground o question the right for which Russia has shed her blood, namely—the right gto establish a state of things which will hence forth render such sacrifices unnecessary ; or, at least, less onerous."

In a debate in the Lords on the Bth, Lord Beaconsfield said "he could not conceive why England should be unarmed, when all other Powers were arming. The British Empire must be maintained." Lord Grau ville, after criticising the details of the Government's past policy, drew conclusions favorable to peace. Lord Derby denied that calling out the reserves was the sole or principal cause of his difference with his late colleagues. He admitted circumstances might force England into a war, but at present he could see no ground therefor. AUSTRIAN SHUFFLING. Relations between Austria and Russia have assumed a more conciliatory character. A courier had arrived at Vienna with an autograph letter from the Czar to the Emperor. The Austrian ambassador at Constanti nople is negotiating to obtain the Forte's consent to a possible Austrian occupation of Bopnia and Hezegovinia. Servia will not participate in any further hostilities, and is disbanding the greater part of her forces. The conviction in Vienna is that the Czar is bent on having Bessaarabia back, and will take it, and the best possible' thing the Roumanians can do is to make best possible terms about the compensation they are to receive. The situation at Constantinople is still regarded as dangerous to peace. Notwith standing the protestations of the Porte, there are intrigues going on among the Pashas, and tho discretion of the Russian commander and of Layard is doubted.

He was only accompanied, ap parently, by one coinpaariot, "but there were numbers of hard-looking characters scat tered about the train, who were supposed to comprise his body-guard.

at 9.30. Not a pane of glass was left. Rossa stopped several times, and one of the audience proposed that they should charge down stairs and out. This was overrulted, however, and the audience waited in- dark ness for the mob to disperse. At 10.15 Rossa stole quietly out to King-street, and passed unobserved into the crowd, and the audieuce got in twos and threes after him. The fighting between the mobs and the police was severe. Four persons were shot, and dozens injured by batons and stones. The most active participants in the row were the party known as "The Young Bo ns "—Protestants, and anti-Fenian.

WELLINGTON, this day. DANGEROUS KEROSENE.

At the request of the Coroner, Mr Benzoni had sent to the Government labo ratory for analysis some kerosene from the same'tin as that from which was taken the oil used in the lamp, through the explosion of which the unfortunate girl, Hannah Barnes, lost her life iv such a dreadful manner. Dr. Hector lias carefully^ tested the kerosene, and reports that it is of a highly dangerous quality, although it has sufficient specific gravity to be apparently safe. It gives oil inflammable vapour at a temperature of only 105 degrees Fahrenheit, or|s degree!* below the adopted minimum temperature of safety, 110 degrees. Nor is this even its worst feature. Dr. Hector found, on continuing his experiments, that the point at which inflammable vapour was given off steadily decreased as the kerosene continued in a heated state, until at length vapour ignited when the temperature was only 99 degrees, or just above blood heat. Thus, as *oon as the lamp filled with this oil became thoroughly warmed, its contents would be considerably more dangerous than gunpowder. Dr. Hector believes that the curious characteristics of this kerosene are due partly to two or three different oils having been mixed. It is known that a large quantity of dangerous kerosene is now in the market, and it is urgently necessary "that inspectors officially appointed should exercise their functions, and test every sample very carefully. There is an ample stock of necessary apparatus at the museum. POISONING RACEHORSES. On Saturday evening Dr Hector com pleted his analysis of the contents of the stomachs of those racehorse which died recently on the East Coast, under suspicion of being poisoned. The stomachs having been subjected 'to a long process _of maceration, the usual tests were applied, with the result that the presence of arsenic acid (the "white arsenic" commonl known) was detected in a considerable quantity. As no request was made for a quantit'iare analysis, none was performed. It is not known, therefore, how much arsenic was used for this rascally purpose. The conjecture that posoniug might have been accidental is not now entertainable, unless under the supposition that it is a practice on the East Coast to feed race horses on arsenic.

NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. ANOTHER KEROSINE EXPLOSION. HOTEL BURNED.

Mrs Scott-Siddons", at the other theatre, is playing "Our Boys" to very good houses. A boy named Frederick Hayson, the son or a travelling- tinker, and who has escaped nine times from the Howe-street Industrial Home, was brought to the police statioa by Constable Abrams, who discovered the boy in a cave, which he had. scooped out with his hands among ti-tree in the environs of Newton. The boy was brought up a few days ago before Mr Barstow, whp ordered him to be whipped. The lad was chained by a dog-chain and pad locked, but before the hour of whipping arrived he made an excuse to get to the closet and bolted, carrying away chain and padlock, and was not again heard of until discovered by the constable. The boy was ordered back to the Home to receive his stripes, but he vows he will smash all the windows and burn d<swn the Home. M. Fontaine.in his volume on "Lighting by Electricity" (Paris : Baudry, 1877)', says:—"We have never so much admired the facility of employment, tlit simplicity o Jilting up, the indefinite divisibility, and the multiplicity of uses of gas, as since we have been occupied with lighting by electricity." Not only is gas now reckoned as one of the necessaries of life, but it is identified with many of its most useful and successful occupations, contributing to domestic com fort and healthful enjoyments. Is there any invention which has more largely contri buted to the cheerfulness, the security, and the comforts of Home ?—[See advertise ment.] The bible belonging to Samuel Sheldon, of H.M.s.
