Loxoon, April 2—6 & m.—Tho situation of Europoan affairs romains unchanged. Lord Balisbury has succoeded Lord Derby 08 British Minister of Foreign Affairs, and has fssued & circular-dispatol to all British Ambassadors on the subject of negotiations for a Congress and the Treaty of San Bie- fano. Itis A REMARRADLE MANIFESTO of England's intentions with rogard to that treaty, and it is difficult to gather from it any hopo that the difficulty between England and Russin can be mmoothed over. Tho first half of the circular is dovoted to & ro- view of the history of tho late nogotis. tions, and consists almost wholly of extracts from the official communications which passed between the two Powers, The latter half insists upon a discussion of tho treaty 08 o whole, and it REVEALS TTIE DEAL GROUND of England's refusal to attond tho Congress in a now light. Lord Balisbury olaims not only, as genornlly gupposed hitherto, the right to discuss each olause of the treaty in dotail, but to ralse objoctions to the treaty in tho nggrogala. Ho plainly shows that England opposes both the special points which affect her special intorosts, and also THE GENEZRAL TENDENGY OF THE TREATY, aa affocting far larger intorests, Indood, it 18 impossiblo to sco that England will bo sat- isfied with any mero modification of particu. tar points. Sho wishes to sat asido the whols treaty, and begin, de novo, tho work of set- tling the Eastarn question by discusalons in o Congroas. ODJEOTIONS ARE MADE TO KVEDY POINT which Russia is most vitally interested in, and it Is evidont that, if Russia admitted the possibility of allowing England to insist upon such objections in a Congress, ono of iwo things wonld hoppen,—cither Russia would b forced to forogo everything for which she wont to war, or else sho would be obliged to decline to permit such a lino of 04 Washingion-st., Room 18, AT, DOCKS North of Lake.st. bridgo, TO RENT.

Knocking and recelving no auswer, she ontered. Ou tho chair at her right hond was Mrs. Lohman’s chemise and night-dreas, Un her left was the bath-tub. A drop of blood upon the cdge of the tub startled the airl, but she turew the doors open, uncov- ering w epectacle that sent her screaming with borror fromn the room.

C., April 1.—The House Committee on Banking and Currency had s long conference with the Sceretary of the Treas- ury on the subject of the preparations made by tho Treasury and National $Banks to exccute In reply to a question as to the amount of bonds sold up to tho 1st of February, 1878, and not paid for, the Becretary sald that 0o bonds werc ever dellvered until the Resumption law. Another question by the Committes was aa to the usual amount of annual com Mabilicies. The answer to this was (taking the lust flacal year as @ basls): ¢ Coln foterest.ooeiee uee Amount applted to the Binkin: Amount pafd for diplomatic ser Amou: Amo Amount expended for re t, parting and refinlug by the Committce was as to tho amount of fractional currency redeemed and carried to tho account of the 8inking Fund, and as to what ap- plications of coln have hicen mado on account of the 8inking Fund during the current flscal year. Becretary Bherman’s roply to this gave the smount ot tho fractional currency applied to the Sinking Fand in 1870 as 87,002,143; In 1577 22 814,043,453; and for the expired portion of the present fiscal year as £3,033,G21; mokiug the total applied ta that fund §24,433,221, applications had been made to the Sinking Fund during the current fiscal year, oxcept the herctofore called, to the amount of $67,700. In this connoction the Becretary deflned what was mceant by in the Binking.Fund sccount. They simply meant the excess or defieit in the annual payment to the Binking Fund, and which was carried to the deblt or credit of tha next year's account. An oxception to that rule wos made after the panic of 1673, when the rovenaes fcll off, and there was a deficit of £106,305,000 in tho Bloking Fund. Seerctary Dristow, sceing the Improbability of making ®ood that defleit, DIOYPED IT ENTIRELY, and It was no longer carried forward in the Sinking-Fund account. Last year tho defleft in the Sinking Fund had been $9,235,000 simply on account af the lack of revenne to wako {1 The Chairman—On the whole, however, the Sinking Fund has been more than made goud since the act began to operate] Beeretary Bucrman—Yes, You will flad o statement of that in Mr. Morrill’s report. Sinking Fund was never kept a3 an account fn the Treasury Departinent until after the Re- funding act of 1870, Up to that time state- ment was made as to how far the Sinking Fund hud been kopt up, and it was found that by tha application of the surplus revenue to the pay- ment of the debt wo bad larirely oxceeded the stipulations of the law to the amouut of over Further on o the conferenze the question of the Stnking Fund wastaken up by Mr. Ewing, and tlie prover construction of the law was discussed Letween bl aid the Bceretary, the Secre- tary taking the ground that tne cavcellation of legal-tender notes was virtuslly a paymens to tuat wmount Into the Binkiog Fund, ond Mr, Ewing denving tho correctucss of that con- CUITTEXDEN'S QURSTIONS. Mr. Chittenden—~TI havo vrepared fonr ques- tions in the Interest of those whom I ropresent, to which I should like to bave your answor: Firat, with sllver dollars aud silver certificates full legal tender for il debts, including cu: toms and the public debt, {s not gold practlcal 1y demonctized, and how will you renew your supplies ur prevent fte exclusive uso-as mor- chandise iu forelgn commence? Bocond, Is thero no dapgor that the National Banks, fu taking care of thomselves, hoard grvens cxbaust your the day for comes! Third, is it probabla that before you have colned a‘hundred milliona of new silver dollars, with greater activity in forefgn trade, they will be exported at thelr bullion valuo to setilo trade balances, and with what effect upon the price of silver bullfon! Fourth, does not your success fu resuriing coln paymeuts wit's our so-called doubte standard depend absolutely upon an advance In the price of sliver bulllon In London to about 50 pence sterling per ounce? [ bave not spoken with any member of the Con- mittee In framing theso questions. Thoy were framed out at tny own table, influenced only by my correspondence and by questions asked of me by those whom I represent. SUBRMAN'S REPLY. Becretary Bherman—I would a great desl rather (o this couference give the Committes facts and let the Committes draw its own to- ferences than attempt to give my own opluian, But [ have no objectlons to answering any of thoso questions. 1 think that & certaln amount of ailver dullars fssued will not have the cilect which 3{r, Chittenden thinks, wo caus malntaln at par in gold & certain amouut of sllver dollars. Proclsely what amouut [ should not like to say, because that is o ques tion of opinion; but I would have the idea that we can maintaln at par in gold wo Jess than $50,000,000, perhaps more, say from $50,000,000 10 $100,000,000; but whenever thuse silver dol- lars becaume soabundaut and so burdensome that veople would not bave them, and they would not not circulate, then undoubtedly they would gradually siok to the valusof the bullion in them, That {a my oplnfon, but I do ot think it wise for ¢ither this Committes or mysclf to dis- n much, Lecauso the Sitver bitl is alaw, and whatover weo may tbiuk of f's effect, the public mind will not be satlsfied until that law is falrly tried. Tho effect of the Bllver bill Ls not goinz to be very rantd, nor will the tall insiiver by ANYTHING LIKN 80 RAPID as i3 probably feared, and long before tho stiver doltar can sluk to the valus of silver bulllon Congress will undoubtealy correct fune law it It were to have that effect. 1t should have the effect which is snticipated of ratsinghe price of allver up to the standard of 1 belioye that 1, on the other hand,
