X THR LORDS. Loxpox, July 8.—In the Houwse of Lords the Duko ot Rutland eriticlsed Lhe stormy language of Earl Derby's reply to Prince Gortachakolf, He sald thereply was lisble to be misinter- preted s adeparture from strict’ neutrality, and asked whether it was submitted to be ap- proved by the other Powers before it was acnt. Lord Derbyreplicd that thesuggestionthatthe reply should have been submitted to the other Powers was unprecedented. He did not doubt the sincerity of the Czar's declaration to Lord Loftus, but Lie could not forget that the Russian army was at the same time preparing for war, and that o declaration of a different kind had been made at Moscow. Ho denled that the re- ply was {nconsistent with neutrality. - * Wo are not bound,” he' sald, “to abstaln from ex- vressing the opinfon which we were invited to give on tho morits of the guarrel.” He depre- cated a Minister's belng nightly called upon ta expreas opinions upon delicate questions of fn- ternational law as likely tolead to dangerous ut- terances, g TNE GLADSTONE RESOLUTIONS. Loxnon, May 0—5 &, m.—In the House of Commons to-night the dchato on the Gladstone resolutions was rosumed, - Mr. Childers, Liboral, considered that the third and fourth resolutions contained the germs of the solution of the Eastern question. He complained of tho: ant!-Russfan bizs dis- played by Ministerialists, and censured Ear] Derby's reply to Prince Gortschakoff as (i1 conaldered and tending to provoko Rusala and revive the hopes of Turkey. Viscount Sandou defended the Government. He betleved tho npproval and | encouragement hoid out to Russla was far more serious and more calculated to extend thedwar, becauso di- rectly opposcd to tho {ntercsts of Austrls, Ger- many, and Italy. v Ar. Rochuck asserted that England might as well declare war on account of the treatment of the Indians i North America as on account of that of the Christians in Turkey, Mr, Lowe dented that Gladstone's resolutions meant war with Turkey. ' The Government pol- fcy was marked by a strange perversity. Noth- ing could have been' moro- lnsulting to Russia than tho treatment of the protocol and of Prince Gortachakofl’s note, England, and not Ruesis,ind separated herself from tho Kuropean concerts .

Dispateh to New Tork Assoctated Press, Loxvox, May 0.—Thirteen days have elapsed aince the leading columna of the Rusaian army of Bessarabla crossod the Pruth, Within this time, had the same eneigy been shown az was mani- fosted in the dash on Galatz, beary Rusalan masses would cerlalnly be in the close vicinity of, Instead of being . only expected at a station elghty miles dletant from, Ducharcst (Buseo), Tho extraordinary welnces of the weather may partly account for' this. Rallway traneport of troops and etores down the valley of the Pruth hus been stopped, at many points along the line of rail; broken by floods. On country roads, of course, there must have been many delays In the passage of arilllery and stores; yet, with even these dim. cultles, the Ruselan army, if properly prepared and equipped for the csmpaign snd farnished with abrldge-tram, —sauch as must have been calcu.. lated upon for the passage of the Danabe, —might faltly have been expected to have made .more progress in & thoreughly | frlendly. country, Durfog the“"pase® woek the progress of the Russians has dissppointed the expectations to which the first rapid dash of the Eloventh Corps into tire Principalitice gave rise die tectly after the declaration of war, The command- erof tho Eleventh Corpe, breaking out from the Deasarablan frontier near Bulgrad, pashed rapidly forward, scized the important bridge of Hartoschl, bywhich ratlroad communication between Jassy and Bucharct crosses the Sereth, and occupied Galatzand Ibrall. BDeyond thesa voints in either dicection the Russian commanders do not scem to have penetrated, and appear to have contented themsclves with the ex- change of s cannonade between the batter- fea on the banky of the Daanbe and the Tnrkish gunboate, Further' down the river the Thirty- sixth Russlan Division, which does not form a onl)nn of the force of the Dnke Nictiolas, but1e s letachment of the .mE Intonded to guard the northern shores of the Dlack nea, has occnpled Tamail and Killa, and is N%fifllfl 10 have attempted ta construct & bridge ucar Noni for & passage into the Dobrudects, This attempt is sald 1 have been hindered by the fire of two Turkish gun- boats, Iteports have been received that Jtusstan fflnboall have been bronght in pleces to (slatz, here pul torether and fosted In the stream. Tater Intelligence makes It appoar probable that these vesscle are not gunboats, but torpede. bosts, The Russiane aro cxtensively calling sub. marine mines into play to hinder the passeage of the Turkish lotllla down the stream. 'The sctlon of this fotills has not been marked by either en- ergy or activity, and the only stirring feat recorded ot the Turkish navy has becn toe dashing escape of Hobhart 'saha down the Danube, 1t {s difticult to nnderstand how the Turkish Iron-ciads and gon- baata, equinped with heavy naval ordinance, ONLY RUINS LEPT.
