In view of the importanco which lhas attached to tho oarly assembling of Parlia- ment it is a most disappointing dooument, and it is difiicult to gather from it any reagon for hastening tho opening of tho session. It is genorally understood, howover, that tha original intention was far different from that now carried out, but that rocont cvents have changed tho pro- grammo of the Ministry, Her Majosty first reviows tho ovents which bave occurred in tho East sinco the closo of the Iastses- sion, adding somo Iato Information rolative to tho peace negotintions now progressing. ‘Then follows an nssuranco that Dritlsh in. terosts sliall bo ok CAREYULLY PROTECTED in tho sottloment of poace. Thon, according to tho first dralt of tho message, thero was a request for o large sum of money boyond the regular estimatcs to put the army and navy in rendiness for any ewmergoncy which might require force to protect Dritisl: interents, aud ooveral authorities maintain that this requost will atill bo found in tho messaga to-dsy, but tho best informed Con- survatives atato that tho clauso hns been modificd g0 as to expross nn opinion merely thet suck au amount of money wmay bo ro- quired ot o Into day, and that her Majosty WILL THEN CONFIDENTLY DEFEND on her Parliament to vote such sums ns may bo nalted for. 'Then follow various sugges. tions for domestio legislation, such as tho passago of tho County Loard bill, the Cattlo- Plagua bill, tho cxtension of the Endowed Bchools [act to Beotland, a Roads wnd Bridges bIll for Bcotland, aud a reform of the Irish Grand-Jury laws, 8o far, however, as anything new iu En. gland's Eastorn policy s concerned, the specch ig disappointiug to the extent almost of being a huge practical joke, Tho reason for this change of Ministerial polioy s inter. esting, It way found that the Liberal party ond Conservative oppouonts of war to- gother . COULD DEFEAT ANY WARLIKE FOLIOY, and that, as these dispatches utated ton days ago, an attompt to overthrow tho Ministry would be made at oncoin casa any money wero askod for to {ncreaso the army. Lord Heaconsfield, finding hia own supporters wavering, has decided not to vonture on a trial of strongth until after the meeting of Parliament, when he hopes to bring party digcipline to bear upon ll} Consecrvative mombers aud compel o vote for war sup. plies as soon as he thinks he can command & good workipg majorlty, HIS DETERMINATION on this point is fixed. ‘The execution of his plan is only delayed, not abaudoned. Ho was forced to this compromise by dissentions in the Cabinot and fear that bis policy might bo defoated before his fol. lowers in the Houss of Commons were suflicioztly united to pull togother, Many here expect o dissolution of the present Ministry or of Parliament within a short time, for Lord Beaconsfleld, having the sup- port of the Queen, will dissolve Par. liament- and appeal to the country st & goneral election sconer than sban. don his policy, BShould this ooour, En’ghnd will experience one of the most exciting elections ovex known, for the oldest pollticians Lero agroo in saying that they have nover passed through such a critical point of England's history.

By Cableto The Chicago Tribune.} ToxpoN, Jan. 17—4 n. m,~Tho garrisons of Widdin on the Dsnubo and of Erzeroum in Asia Minor have asked terms for sur. render, and will capitulate in a fow days. Suloiman Pasha is trying to reach Adrian- oplo with his army, but it is belloved that he will cither be Intercept. ed by Gen. Radetsky, or forced to abandon the railroad and go by a round- about road to the south, RUSAIA'S TERMB have beon sont to the Grand Duke Nicholas, bat cannot reach Lim for several days yet, and, until communlicated officiolly through him fto the 'Turkish plenipotentiaries, no knowlodge of thom can bo obtained. THE GREAT POWERS. AUSTRIA AND ENGLAND. Loxpox, Jan. 10.—The Datly Telegraph has o speelnl from Constantinople that the Austrian Embassy has been notified that Austria fa op- posed to a separate peace, and Intends to sup- port the Treaty of Parls, and, further, she wishea Turkey should leave the grave questions affecting Euronean interests open for contidern- tion at o conference of Buropcan Powers. This communication, says the dispatel, is regarded a8 o sign that there is en uuderstandivg be. tween England and Austria. AUBTRIA'S ATTITUDE. Loxpox, Jan. 16.—A alspateh from Constan- tinople says Count Zichy, the Austrlan Am- bassador there, declared vesterday to Server Pasha, the Forcign Minister, before the latter's departure for Kezanlik, that he had recelved in- structions from Vienna that Austrin could not prevent the conclusion of an armistice on the basis of peace preliminaries, but that, as o #ig- natory of the Treaty of Parls, Austrin would not recognize a peace concluded without her nssent to its different pointe. Austria wouldbe prepared to protect her interests by all the means ot her disposal. P A telegram from Conatantinople says the fol- lowlng are the views expressed by Austria here and at -8t Petersburz: Austria desires the malutenance of the Treaty of Parls, She alao wishies to prevent Russla fromn gainlog o pre- ponderating Influcnce, Austrla will never ro- nounco her position aa aguaranteeing Power. ‘The question relative to the political sutun- omy of Bulgaria and other conditions affceting Austria’s interests na n frontier Power, and, in fact, the settlement of the condittons of peace, cannot be permitted without the participation of Austrin. ‘The forcgzoing has been communleated by Count Zichy, the Austrian Ambassador, to the Torte. Lord Derby AMADE A SIMILAR £0MMUNICATION to Bt. Petersburg on Monday. Novertheless It fs belleved that no vrevious understanding ex- fsted between Austris and England. It-is statea that Russia has not yet communicated her terms of peace to Austria, Notwithatanding tho atti- tudo of Great Britain and Austria, It Is expected thot complications will bo avoided, and that Russia will arrive ‘st an understauding with the Powers. 5 Loxpon, Jan. 10.~-A. later dispatch from Constantinopla states that Count Zichy, In de- livering tho declaration of Auatria’s views, sald 1t did not constitute a new phase in the Austrisn policy, but was merely the reiteration of the re- serve already cxpreassd by Count Andrassy in reply to the Porte's dreular relative to medla- tion, G RUSSIAN ABSURANCE. Tho Agenes Zlusie says the pacific disposition manlfested by the Porte In sending Berver and Namjyk Pashns to the Rusalan headquarters has been recefved by Russta with tho assurauce that the moment Turkey accepts the prellminaries to be communieated by the Russian Commander- {0-Clilef u suspeusion of hostilitics will ensuc. RUBSIA'S counsT, Loavow, Jan. 10.~The Agence Jiuwe, in an articlo on the present sltuation, states that Russia at the commencement of the war ree ceivea England’s specification of her interesta in a friendly spleit, and has respocted them. According to promise, the route to Indis via the Sues Canal remains still uatbreatened, as England's cxclusive domafn. Russfa still ‘mafntains that Constantinople ought uot belonz under any circumstances to any great Power. The Agence points vut that Russia has protected the inter- csts of frantler “States so well that Austria has resisted tha most dircet appeals to action both from home and abroad, Russia will continug to trotect theae Intercats, The dyenee, nlter stating that every victorlous belitgerent has the right to sar Indemnity, con- cludes as follows: * Russia, In nccordanco with usage and cquity, has the right to conclnde s peacs dircetly with Turkey, while at the same timo protecting the intcrests of frontier Btates, and those of other Powers, particulorly of Fugland. Any prelliminary con- vention which might bo entered upon might be submitted to a Congross, and then would ho finally tncluded In the category of international treatics, A misunderstanding can alony arise from distrust or exceaslve amour propre, which 1s always to bo dissipated by explanation if re- celved as frankly as given.” THE BULTAN TO VIOTORIA. LowNDoN, Jan. 16.—A Constantinople dispatch says tho Sultan having sont a inessage to Queen Victoria, Minlster Layard to-day deltvered the dispatch from Lord Derby replying thereto. ‘The dispatch expresses the Queen's sympathy with the Sultan, and says she will follow the counsels of er Minisiors, 1t ts s0id while the; Queen's speech will not make & demand for extra supplics, it will hint pretty strongly that they will have to be asked for in 8 very probable cuntingency.

TUR PORTE'S DETERMINATION. A special from Coostantiuople says msny rumors are current 1g regard to the attitude of the Oreas Powers. l&: sald the Groud Vizler assured the German §mbassador that the Porte was determined to nake peaco with Russls, leaving any Power which objected to the condle tions to settle the mattor with Russis.

A telegram recelved In Paris states that the Tutkists delegates have arrived in Adrisnople. MODERATION ENIOINED. ‘The Turkish press has been enfoined to show the greatest moderation, and one paper has heen sudpressed for sttacking the Czar, REPORTS CONCERNING TilR QUEEN'S SPERCIL. Loxnox, Jan, 16—5 s, m.—~Reports concern- Ing the probable tenor of the Queen's speech are contradictory. ‘The Standard, the principa) organ of the Conservative party, gives prominence in a leader to the following: *‘It will probably be found that the Queen's speeclt will not contain a re- quest for a vote for an Increasc of the army and navy, although the Government wlll, we may expect, intimate that If 8 contingency should oceur it will promptly make tho demand, But at present the need 8 not preasing, and while negotiations are pending such o demand might be misconstrued.” The Dally Telegraph expresses slmilar antfcl- pation. The Times says, however, the spcech will mainly be an assertfon of our neutrality, and an nppeal to Parllament for ald to fnsure its belng respected. Tho Fort belicves a vote for money will be supgested, PROPOSED TPRELIMINARY TRUCE. Loxoox, Jan. 17—5 a. m.—A correspondent at Vienna says 1t would appear that the Turks intenda to ask for a suspension of hostilities for threcor five days whils tho armistice is belog negotiated. Thelr object is to main timeto refer Russia’s conditions, which wiil only be- come known to the delepates when they arrive at Kezanlik, to Constantinople. It is not probable that the Russtans would grant this prellininary truce, as it might enable Sulelman Pasha to reach Adrianople, ANOTIIER ACCOUNT, published fn Vienna, says the delegates will remut the conditions for consideration by the Grand Ottoman Council. A Pera special states tho Porte has been dis- cussing theinost Important steps, but adecision | hasbeen postponed until {¢ hicars from tho Pleni- potontiaries. The correspoudent supposes that this step moy be to anthorize the British flect to pass tho Dardanclles, ANOTIUER FERA DISPATCH says in conscquence of the action of England and Austria, the Ottoman delegates have been instructed that if the Russlan demands contaln anything incovsistent with the Treaty of Paris they must apply to Constantinople fur further instructions, A speclal from Vienoa says the Porte will take 10 flnal decision in regard to the conditions of pence without consulting the Powers. THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE. IN A DAD DOX. 3 Loxpox, Jan, 10.—It the dispatch of yester- day from Constantinople {s correct, stating that a great battlo was fought Monday and Tuesday, that Suletman Pasha afterwards took up po- sitions near Phlifppopolis and ordered the fn- havitants to leave the town, and that the Rus. sians havo reached Chirpau and are marching on Yenl-Mabalgre, the remaoins of the only Turkish field army south of the Balkans are in danger of capture or aunnihilation before an armistice can be concluded.

Hanrrorp, Conn., Jan. 16.—The Moody and Sankey excurslon-train accldent on the Connectl- cut Western Road, near Tariffville lnat night, was cxaggerated as to loss of life, yet tho aflalr was aterribleone. Over500residentsof Winsted, Canaan, Ballsbury, and other places In the western scction of the State had visited the Moody and Sankey revival meeting, and cm- barked for lome after scrvices, leaving Hart- ford by a speclal train of eleven cars and two locomotives. The party had enjoyed 'a rare feast of religlous communfon with the great evangelists, and lttle did they fmagine the fear- ful catastropho so close at hand. There was no warning—uothing to lead to apprehcosion. Crossing . THE PARMINGTOX RIVER BRIDOR, one mile from Tariffville, the tralu was just on- tering upon the trestle work stretching ncross the teadows whea an ominous crash was heard shead of the traln. The west span, 100 feet long, on the Howe truss principle, had vlelded to the overwelght of tivo engloes, and, parting mnear an abutment, caved foto the stream, crush- Ing through six inclies of fce with which it was covered. ‘Tne first englnecleared the woodwork of the bridge proper, and, turning over, landed pottom up, irrctricvably damaged.
