The Berlin Congress. ENGLAND'S PROTECTOFATE OVER PALESTINE. , ; ■(From our London Correspondent.) MASONIC CLUB, LONDON, July 18. The Berlin Congress is over, and the war clouds have passed away. I will not inflict upon you an analysis of the formidable document which fills four columns of the " Times when done into English:' You have doubtless had a precis of it by wire ; and you will at all events find it in all the home papers. Some of the extreme ".Jingo" party are vexed that Russia has been permit ed to have anything at all, but these lunatics are not made of the stuff that forms good generals or politiciar.s. Thinking people are satisfied that all possible "English interests are safe at any rate, and what more should -we expect? Reason has triumphed over madness, and a big quairel has been disposed of without an appeal to brute force. Russia and England have duly recognised one another's strength, and have agreed to divide the bone instead pf worrying each other for the whole of it. Shorn of all its verbiage, the Treaty of Berlin amounts to this. England makes a present to Russia of Austria and the Black Sea, and for herself takes the rest of Turkey in Europe and Asia. Russia is now at liberty to proceed with her central Asian "mission," and England owns everything from the Straits Settlements westward to Gibraltar. If the Treaty be read by you carefully, you can come to no other con clusion than this, for it is monstrous to suppose that we have bound ourselves to fight the battles of a batch of Sultans who are cretins and Pashas who are dissolute and unprincipled scoundrels. We are responsible for Turkey's good behaviour, or, in other words, we are the Sublime Porte, the guardians of the Holy Sepulchre. See how history for ever repeats itself. Here is Sir Garnet Wolseley about j to play the part of Richard the First and j England, who first befriended" the chosen people and admitted them to State privileges, is now in a direct road for restoring to them their ancient possessions, and. establishing once more the House of David within the walls of Jerusalem. Prophecy may be interpreted to mean anything, and the other day I was asked to turn to the Sth chapter of Zechariah, and read the 23rd verse. I must say I was struck with the coincidence ; for although the Earl is not exactly " a Jew," yet he has quite sufficient Hebrew blood in him to entitle him to be classed as appertaining to that nation. The credit of Russia has been mightily added to by the result of the Con ference. Her moderation has been remarked widely, and many, whoa little while since sneered openly at the "Holy War" as they called it, are now constrained to admit thatthe aims of the Czar or his guiding stars cannot have been so much directed by cupidity and sinister -motives as they once suspected. I have no hesita tion in saying that we are now entering upon a new era of European politics. The triple alliance has been completely exploded,^ and " International" principles have been strongly vindicated. The balance of power has been thoroughly changed. Russia in the North and East,and England in the South and West, wield the batons of power. England is once more the recognised mistress of the Seas ; Russia of the Land. And now the attention of the latter country will be directed to those arts which are the real strength and riches of a nation. In England she has a marvel lous example of what trade will do for a country. The mineral resources of Russia are, in proportion, much more extensive than those of England, and she is beginning to discover that the triumphs of the sword are not to be compared to those of the pick and shovel. She has just concluded, with honour and glory to herself, a campaign ■which was in a great measure forced upon "ri"*«»««" «A-ffom^witbin.^.At Jhe con morally strengthened, buT pffysTCarry" weakened. It is now her task to recoup her wasted energies, and that can only be done by the encouragement of trade and manufacture, and the reorganisation of her institutions, many of which are mere relics of that age of darkness and barbarism out of which Russia has only emerged within the present century. Perhaps I ought to explain the expression I used just now with regard to Austria. What I mean is just this : In obtaining possession of the northern mouth of the Danube, Russia knows full well tfiat she has the river under her complete control. The only other navigable mouth is fast silting up, whilst the northern mouth is not only deepening, but an extensive bar is rapidly forming outside, which, in a few years, will form a complete harbour. Most of us will live to see the southern mouth closed for vessels of large burden. I need hardly tell you that the possession of this river is almost tantamount to the pos session of Austria, which rnuat eventually be absorbed by Germany and Russia. The Socialistic Communists of New York call upon their fellows in Germany "to elect men to the Parliament who will agitate and overthrow militaryism, even though prisons and exiles stare them id the face." Nothing more heroic has been seen since Artemus Ward threw every man of his wife's family into'the deadly breach of war. TONKS R. C. OARR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. PADDLE-STEAMER EFFORT. B.

Extraordinary Cure of ax Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 ykahs resident, OFgg| Long-standing Rheumatic. ™ =~ t „ Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to al weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and was unable to lie except in one petition. Day and night I waßfullof excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence, my general health was also materially iniured. I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form, and my life was »1 most a burden to me. I triec every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any reliof whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Reßtorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial I carried out my intention. I adhered strictiy to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self ? 1 ? ai Hnr~^ BtSr^?to^ oaltl\. and and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires.
