By Cable to The Chicaqo Tribune.] TowpoN, Deo: 9—1 . m.—Suleiman Pasha is making strenuous efforts to relieve Plevna or withdraw enongh Russian troops from the sioge to enable Osman Pasha to bresk out. Although checked at Jackowitza, he has about 40,000 troops at that point, against Dot over 25,000 Russians, and he may be able yet to force the passage to Tirnova. SEVERE FIGHTING is again reported in the Balkans, but partic- alars cannot be obtained to-night. Baker Pasha is appointed to the command of g Division under Mehemet Al In Asin’ the Turks have evactuated Batonm, and the fall of Erzeroum js daily looked for, as reinforcements cannot now reach Mulkhtar Pasha. THE SERVIANS are said to bave crossed the fromtier at Jacoss; and fortified themselves on Turkish terrifory. The total logs of Russia up to Now. 17 amounted Lo 74,858 men. IN ENGLAND. Public interest in the war was never higher in Englond -than now. Everything points to some decisive events before New Year's day, and, should the Turks be overpowered and unable to prevent a gen- eral Russion advance -upon Adrianople, there is no telling what action Great Britain may be forced to take. That SHE IS QUIETLY PREPARING for possible active interference in behalf of Tarkey is certain. Already the army has been recruited up to its maximum, and an order was given yesterdsy to medically inspect the three regiments of guards first on the list for foreign service. Asthe guards never leave Eugland except in case of actual war, this order is regarded as EXTREMELY SIGNIFIOANT. The North German Gazettesays that Prince Bismarck will not réturn to Berlin before Christmas, but might even stop away til next spring. In view of the importance of debates now going on in the Prussian Parliament, the critical state of affairs in France, and tho complications in the East, the Chancellor’s resolution not to return to Berlin is regarded a8 likely to cronte great difficulty. WAR NOTES. LOSSES AT ELENA AND MARIANL Loxpox, Dec. &.—A Russian official dispateh, dated Bogot, says: “The batties of Mariani and Eleoa, on the 4th inst., were more unfortunate for the Russians than at first reported. - Fifty officers and 1,800 men were killed and wounded, and eleven guns captured.

Loxpoy, Dec. 8.—Tne Times says an uneasy feeling 15 becoming apparent lest the scttle- ment of the Eastern question unfavorable to Eugland may be forced upon her by the three Emperors’ alliance. AN IMPORTANT CRISIS. Nzw Yonrg, Dec. S.—A London dispatchto a morning paver says: *The present is rezardea as the supremme crisis in Turkish affairs fn Bul- zarla, whose result ¥ill be the relief of Osman, or the collapse of Turkish resistance outside the quadrilateral and north of the Balkaos. The Turcophile journals are despondent, and think Suleiman has been so slow in following up his success that he will gain no substantial advantage. ** A vorrespondent at Bucharest telegraphs position oni the Jantra line of-Intrénchments.. The same correspondent also says that in view, of the bellef that Sulciman has drawn his forces- west, of the quadrilateral and attacked the Czarowitz, Gen. Zimmerman has been- ordered-| to strike the Turkish commusications between Varna and Shumla. “Thetventd of the next five Aays are regard- ed in Loudon a5 sure o be decislve of the cam- ‘paign and probably as to the end of the war.’” FOREIGN FINANCE. ENGLIST AND CONTINENTAL MONEY MARKETS. Svecial Disvaiea to The Chigago Tribunt. Loxvox, Dec. .—The Feonomist says: Dis- tount rates are st at 33 oér cent. Some eagles were taken from the Bank of England for Canada, but the operation appears to have Dbeen exceptional, aud unlikely to develop into a serious drain. The stock markets began with a fall in Paris prices, followe@ by ‘a general depression here. but as the week advanced a tendency toward recovery appeared. On Thursday there was a general rise, and on Friday prices were amain bigher in response to the fecling fn Taris, but drooping toward the close. The effect ‘of the week’s finctuations has been favorable in most cases. The chief exceptions are consols and Russian and Egyptian stocks. The declin in consols is due to : A REDUCED SUPPLY OF MONEY. Thereis a pleatiful supply of an offer, prin- cdpally by the Bank of England. The transient but severe falt in French rentes was doubtless partly in consequence of political fears, and in part was also connceted with the state of the market ap the Bourse settlements A very remarkable feature was the strong rise in United States 43 per cent bowds on receipt. of President ITayes’ my ¢ aud Sccretary Sherman’s report; both insisting upon the pur- suit of an honest course in the payment of Anierican bonds in 2old. ‘The faith of investors iu those securitics bad heen much shiaken smee the proposals for_usine silver in pl a were agitated.

Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tritune, New Yorg, Dee.8.—The World’s Washington special says the anxiety manifested as to the safety of Licut. Bullis and Col. Young, with the troops under their command. wifl be somewhat allayed by a telegram just received by Gen. Ord. It will beremembered that seeret fufor- mation of the raid was received by the United States authorites, and Bullis, one of the most vigilant officers, was sent after the magauders, a band of Mexican Indians. [IHe struck the trall ot ome of the nparties of rafders, and followed them ncross the river, but, coming upon taem, he found that the foree of Mexicans was too Jarge for bis small detach- meut of troops tocope with, and he retreated forrefuforcements. Cots. Daris and Young were also dispatched with suflicient troops for any ordinary emerzencey in quest of other bands of raiders which had ‘committed several murders, and bhad stolen several huudred - horses. It appears from the signt o vices received lwre that Licut. Bullis with his force immediately crossed the Rio Grande and went as rapidly as possible to the point where he was compeiled to retreat by the superior numbers of the raiders. Whether he found them at the samne place, or has persevering- 1y followed thetrail into the uncxplored moun- taiu fastnesses of Northern Chinuahua is not known. The latter scemns most likely, os had he fallen 1 with the raiders, and esciped total annihilation, some definitc informationof the re- sults of his pursuit would probably have ap- peared before this. In the event of an attempt to follow the trail of the Indians into a conutry comparatively unknown except by the robbers accupy & month, Cols. Davis and Young went along the river after the trail of theraiders, endeavoring to tind the point at which they crossed. To gain this information they crossed and recrossed the river at such points as they deened most likely to discover some traces of the fusitives. The upver part of the Rio Grande flows throush aeep canons, and in defiling throuzh the narrow trails alonr the river the troops were fired upon bya partv of Mexicans probably lying in am- bush. No information has gr.‘n:u received whether or not any of our troops were Kkilled, or even whether the fire of the Mexicans was returned. Neither is it known whether it was the command of Bullis, or that of Davis, or of Young, which was attacked by Indians, Gen. Ord is of opinion that an engazement of some description has taken place between the Mexican Indians aud our treops in the canons of the Rio Grande, but he says the United States troops are of suflicient strength to protect themselves. A FIGIT. GALyESTON, Dec. 8.—The News’ San_Antonio special reports an engagement in Mexico be- tween Col. Young's commaud and a party of Mexican Indians, in which' two Indians were and murderers which dwell there, his task mighe |, killed, three wounded. and their camp and property captured and destroyed. FRANCE. THE CRISI3. Versariies, Dee. S.—The sittings of the Chambers to-day werc unintercsting. After the sitting the Constitutionatists held an im- vortant meeting. One member declared they must follow the Marshal to the cnd, even to dissolution. Lambert de Sainte Crofx urged ' that the Marshal must accept a Parliamentary Ministry. Batbic maintained that the Marshal had made every concession consistent with honor, and henceforth the Constitutionalists must follow him, even to voting a second disso- lution. At Bocher’s request, the mecting re- Irained from a decision. The utmost confusion reigns in all circles. MISCELLANY. SPAIN. Loxpox, Dec.8.—A Paris dispatch states that the difficultfes of the Spanish Goyernment with the Basque municipalities continue. The munielpality of San Sebastian has resiened, and it is believed that all the municipalities of the chief towns will follow fts examole when they. are ordered by the Government to prepare lists of those liable to couscription and taxation.

Sprcial Dispateh tn The Chicago Trioune. Bavrivone, Md., Dee. 8.—The trial of Will- iam E. Bloomer and Upton W. Dorscy, charged with conspiring to defraud the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quiney Railroad, which bas ocenpied thie attention of the Criminal Court of this cicy {or two weeks past, was decided at a late hour to-night. The array of counsel in this case has been remarkable. Not -only were the brightest legal laminaries of the Baltimore Bar oceupied in the trial, but the Hon. James W, Scorille, of New Jersey, was retained by the defenst, and the State was aided by many well- krown railrond Jawyers from all parte of the country. Among tue witnesses were the Mesers. Pinkértou, of Chicago; Waltzer, 2scalper Trow that city; and wumerouts employes of the Ruilroad _Cotnpany. The jury had been out since Thursdy last, and oniy returned at 8:30 to-night. ' They reudered a verdict of guilty in the casc of Bloomer, and falled to agree in Dorsey’s case, in which they stood ten to two in favor of acquittal. The verdict as regarded Bloomer excited much surprise, it being gener- Tally supposed be would be found not guilty. was at onée conducted to jail. A motion made by his counsei for a mew rial, and bail to the amount of offered, which Judae Brown relused. The counsel will 0 to Aunapolis Monday morning and_lay the case before the Court of Appeals, Which is now in session. Other ¢ against Dorsey, brought by the Pennsylvania Ratroad Companv, will come up at the next term of the conrt. The counsel who aided the State in this prosccution were paid by the Pennsylvania Raifroad Company. ‘The war against the ticket scalpers is being prosecuted with tireless energy, and neither side a8 yet shows any signs of weakn As predicted in yesterday’s TRIDUNE, the scalpers bung out their shingies yesterday morning an- nonncing that they would sell regular first-ciass tickets, the cost of which is $20, for $1S, and second-class tickets, which cost $16, for $I4. This entails a loss upon the scalpers of §2on every ticket they gell. Al these tickets are vver the Erie & Chicago Line. The railroad men mavaged Lo outwit the scalpers very neatly on their last move. They engaged men to o to tbe varicus scalpiog oflices and buv up all the New York tickets they could get and then redeem them. In this way the scalpers suffered a loss of $2 on each tickel they sold, and tne ruliroads were ahead that niuch on each ane, while tne Erie & Chicago did uot secure any additional traffic, s the scalpers interded it should. The scheme worked very well until evening, and about firteen tickets, first and second=lass, were sceured, and if_some foolish fellow had not tried to overdo the thing the game might have been kept up indefinitel the sculpers subjected toa great 1oss. of asking for one ticket at a time, thus making the scalpers believe he was a bona fid ger, this fellow became slow process, and asked for o dozeo ti time, when the scalpers stelt a mice and bounced The discovery made the farther sale of kels on the above ql:m impracticable, and at 2 sealpers’ meeting held in the ¢ i was decided 1o continue to sell tickets at S1S over the Chicazo & Erie Line; but, to preveut the railroads from buving them up, they will licre- alter extract from the buver $20 and give him au order for a rebate of £2 on Mr. Gustay Lan- sing, their azent in New Yorl Mr. Justus Goodrich was arrested a sccond time last evening for selling aticket unlawful- Iy. ‘This was tbe only arrest made yesterday, but a number of others are on the ‘slate, and will be hanled before the Justices Monday. “The sealpers seemed to be more discouraged yesterday than they were during the Jast four days, and while they still have faith that the Supreme Court will declare the law unconstitu- tional on the zround that a wan vannot be pre- vented from selling property lawfully pur- chased, vet they sav they wonld o ont of the business provided the railroads would azree to redeem the large amount of tickets they have on hangd. It is clained that vat very few of the roads Yedeemn their-tickets. ‘The law provides for their redemption, but most of the railroads refuse to redeem them furthier than the linois State line, daiming that the Ilinois Lezislature cannot legislate outside of this State. If the sealpers really mean to o out of the business if they can dispose of their stock ou land, it Would only be just on the part of the roads’to provide for the redemption of all outstanding tickets over their entire lines. They cannot exect the sealpers who have large amounts of these tickets on hand to throw them away or burn them up. THETILLINOIS CENTRAL EUROPEAN LINE. The Illinois Central Raflroad Company is still negotiating with several steamship com- panies irt order to establish a_ first-class line of steamers from New Orleans to euable it to ship grain and other produce from this’ city to Europe direct via New- Orlcans. So far the managers of the Tilinois Central have been un- able to make satisfactory arrangements on ac- count of the hizh rates cliarged by the steamers from New Orleans to Livernool, which would reduce the share of the Dlinois Central to such alow figure as to prevens it from competing with the New York trunkJines. A Mr. Powers, of Montrec], and Mr. Richardson, the represent- ative of the Bauk of Montreal in tkis city, call- ed upon Mr. Joseph Tucker, Master of Transpor- tation of the Illinois Central, in behalf of a steamship company whicli is now runuing a line of steamers between Montreas and Liverpool via Quebec, to see whether they could not make arrangements by which some of their steamers could be transferred to the New Orleans line during the winter. This Company, though of- fering better terms than the others that have so far been broached on the subjoct, still charges more than the Illinois Central is willing to con- cede. Mr. Powers claims that not only does it cost more to run steamers from New Orleans than from Eastern scaports, on account of the muach tonger distance, but there is also a ereat- ly increased hazord on account of the dangers that have to be encountered in rounding the Florida coast, which increase the rate of insur- ance. The Illinois Central, on_account of this state of aflnirs, is willing 10 make a liberal con- cession to the steamship line, but uot such as is demanded. A party of New Orleans capitalists contemplate tha organization of a new steam- ship line from New Orleans, and if they succeed they can probably afford to maske betier terms than any of the partics consulted thus far, as the increased business of their city and the en- hanced value of real estate which will undoubt- edly be the result of such a movement will in part remunerate them for the sacrifice they make. These gentlemen have appointed a com- mittee to consult with the managers of the Ilii- nois Central in regard to this matter, and it is expected to arrive in this city in a few days.
