ENGLISR AND RUSSIAN TORPEDO VESSELS. Loxpon, March 23.—The order for the new torpedo vessels for the navy bas been distribut~ ed among various ship-builders, princivally those on the Thames. Two firms have under- taken a contract for 8,000 torpedo sinkers, aver- age weight 1,100 pounds. They are being stowed away in various parts of the Royal Ar- senal at Woolwich, convenient for shipment to stations at home and abroad. The Kussians are having 100 torpedo boats built on the model of one purchased in England, but no part of the order has come to this country, as tae. in- ternational complications might hinder its ful- fillment. MOBE ARMAMENTS. Loxpox, March 23.—The Government has purchased from Sir Willaa Armstrong four 100-ton guus, ut a cost of $30,000 each, and is nepotiatin for 8 number of smaller weapous, identical with those already in the service. The _Same fiem.. e —tt - to be completed at an Arsenal is rapldly preparing wazons for trans- port service. Several other contracts for aroiy stores arc in course ot completiva, notably one for a large number of pack-saddies. Defries & Co. are cxecuung large orders for hospital ware. AN IMPORTANT MATTER. Loxpos, Maren 23.—The lancing of a force on the Asiatlc side of the Sca of Marmora has unquestionably beei considered by the Govern: meut. Kailwsy materals, to be laid on a par- allel liue with the Bosphorus, have been pur clissed. ENGLAND. THE TIMES ON THE NEW BOLGARIAX BOUNDARY. LospoN, March 23.—The ZTimes, in an editorial, says: *‘The treaty vurposes tbe creation of a new State in the Balkan Peninsula swhich woula dwarf all others, and which, sap- ported by exterpal influence, would inevitably strangle all other intercsts. ‘fhe new Bulgaria would extend considerably beyond the limits within which the Sclav population s pre- ponderant. Whereverthe presumed timits ofsuch preponderance were not coincident with agood geographical boundary, the boundary has been pushed forward to the injury of the other popu- lations and States. The general resolt is, that the new Principality would occupy the whole central mass of the peninsula, forming 3 Stats in comparison with which Servia and Moute- negro would be insignificant, and reduclag the remaining possessions of Turkey to absurdity. Europe cannot avoid very graye doubts whether sucts an arrangement would be cither just or exempt from danger of great future disturb- anees. THE ANGLO-RUSSTAN DIFFERENCE. Loxpox, March 23.—The British Cabinet r&\ quires a declaration from Russia that tbe com- munication of the, instrument of peacs tothe Porwers s cquivalent to its formal presentation to the Congress. The Russian Cabinet, how- ever, consider that by making the abovemen- tioncd commaunication it has fulfilled its inter- national dut‘es, and is less inclined to sgree to the special presentation to a Congress, foas- much as by making known all the conditions of peace 1t afforded each Power an opportunity of making the separate provisfons of the treaty the subject of European deliberation. An un- derstanding upon this point has not yet been reached. Until it s decided the fate of the Congress is uncertaln. INCIDENTAL. TYPRUS. Loxpox, March 23.—The mortality among the Russians s very great, priucioally (rom fever. In Constantinople typhus is increasing. TWENTT THOUSAND COLPSES. CONSTASTINOPLE, March 23.—The Sanitary Commission have arrived at Erzeroum from Tifiis. They found 20,000 corpses buried two fect under ground, frozen, but not decomposed. The Commission are deliberating whether to cremate the corpses or use quickiime. TEOOPS DEFENDING THRE TORKISH CATITAL. (CONSTANTINOFLE, March 23.—Fifty thousand ‘Furkish troops are now encamped in the Plain of Buyukdera, and there are fifty battalions on lines defending Constantinople. AUSTRIA. ViESNA, March 23.—In the Hungarian Dele- gation to-day Count Andrassy said it was io- tended that the Congress should meet at the ecd of March, but meaawhile some prelimioary questions have arisen between Englana and Russia, and it {s impossible now to state the date of the meeting with certainty. The Austrian Delezation referred to the Gov- ernment a petition to take steps, by aa interna- tional understanding, for disinfecting tne late battle-iclds, and arresting the danger which threatens the health of Europe. \ O’LEARY WINS. THE GREATESY WALKING FEAT ON RECORD. Lospox, March 23—9 a m.—The interest in the international walking match continues un- gbated. O’Leary returned to the track at 3 o'clock this morning, Vaughan rested at inter- carly dute. Woolwich =
