The Standard reaffirms the existence of differences between Mr, Cave, the British Commissioner, and the Khedive of Egypt. TURKEY AND AUSTRIA. Turkey refuses to accept Count Andrassy’s proposal of mediation for the adjustment of the Eastern question, The Sultan says Turkey will carry out the reforms herself ; a -statement in which little faith is placed. THE VICEROYALTY OF INDIA. Lord Northbrook’s resignation of the Vice- seoyalty of India is probably the result of his weak policy in the Baro da affair. Lord Lytton has been selected by Disraeli as the successor of Lord Northbrook, not only for his political and literary ‘abilities, ‘ut also on account of his intimate knowl- ‘edge of Russian, Turkish and Eastern affhirs im general. His appointment is very fa- vorably received. To literary men it is very gratifying. THE CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITATN. The Duke of Norfolk, President of the atholic Association of Great Britain, calls for subscriptions to said the persecuted German priests. The Duke subscribes $5,000 and Cardinal Manning $1,500. THE GERMAN CHURCH WAR LULLED. In Germany the clerical conflict is, at | present, ata standstill. Both sides seem to ‘bo tired of the lengthy struggle and desirous of an agreement, The government desists from preparing the new Ecclesiastical Regu- ations bill, and is even showing clemency in ‘the execution of the proscriptions which are provided in the measure now in force, CARDINAL LEDOCHOWSKI'S RETURN. | Great preparations are being made by the | German Catholics to celebrate the restora- tion to freedom of the ex-Archbishop of Posen and Gneisen, His Eminence Cardinal Ledochowski. HE MAY Go TO Ror. In case the Prussian government expels | Archbishop Ledochowski from his see he will go to Rome, and take his seat among the cardinals in the Sacred College. AMERICAN HORSES ON THE ENGLISH TURF. The following are the more important en- gagements made for the American horses in | England :— Preakness will run in the International Handicap at Newmarket, and for the Ascot ‘Cup. Bay Eagle will run for the Prince of Wales Stakes at Epsom, and the Bretby Plate at Newmarket. Bay Engle has an attack of ‘influenza at present. Bay Final will ran in the City and Sub- urban, the Metropolitan, and for the Alex- andra plate at Sandown Park. Mate will ran in the Newmarket Handi- ap and also in the City and Suburban. The colt, Egotist, will run for the Ascot New Stakes. The colt, Brown Prince, will not run until ‘ater in the year, The English colt, Gafopin, the last Derby winner, is not entered for any of the coming stakes. He will not run again. Much dis- »ppointment prevails in consequence. VHE (TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS AND THE EPSOM DERBY. Petrarch is backed pretty freely for the ‘Two Thousand Guineas and the Derby, Standing first favorite for the Epsom event, ‘The betting is7 to 1. Forerunner has received some support. HUNTING. The hunting season has been marked by numerous accidents in the field, owing to @ rotten state of the ground caused by the | early winter rains, THR THEATRES. “Twelfth Night” was celebrated in Drary | Lane and the Covent Garden Theatre green | rooms. In the two theatres the ceremony | consists in cating Twelfth Night cakos and | drinking bowls of nogus, ‘A PROVIDENT PATRON. | | political prisoners now in jail.

Benjamin Webster presided on the pres- ent occasion in his official capacity as master of the Baddeley fund. At the Covent Garden ceremony there were 220 guests. DRAMATIC PROGRESS. The Era publishes a list of the new pieces which were produced in the English theatres during the past year. It shows that in the London theatres there were 140 and in “the provinces” 103. THE THEATRICAL WORLD BUSY. To-night isan unusually busy one in the dramatic world. ‘There are revivals and migrations of managers. BOUCICAULT AND THE FENIAN PRISONERS. Boucicault withdraws himself from man- agement here and takes the ‘‘Shaughraun” from London in consequence. He has ad- dressed a letter to Mr. Disraeli, claiming that his play has tested the Fenian question nightly on the minds of a jury of 2,000 Lon- doners. He pleads for the release of the AMERICAN ART IN BERLIN. American art is flourishing in Berlin, Minnie Hauck is enchanting the public at the Opera House. Sherwood, of Kansas, and Miss Gaul, of Baltimore, are both successful in concert. Pratt, of Chicago, has made a failure both in his compositions and execution on the piano, A JOURNALIST COMPLIMENTED. There has been a great dinner of London journalists, at Willis’ Rooms, complimentary to William Senior, of the Daily News, on the occasion of his departure, under a govern- ment appointment, for Queensland, Austra- lia. There were present Edmund Yates and the novelists William Black, Francillon and Farjeon, together with a number of English and American journalists. THE LONDON MARKET. Foreign securities are dull and heavy from very natural causes. The unsettled condi- tion of affairs in the East, the possibilities connected with Spanish complications and the disturbances in trade circles resulting from commercial changes, all are more or less affecting prices and chilling the confi- dence with which investors at this season of the year usually regard various securities. There is a plethora of money both here and in France, and, with certain exceptions, capitalists are indisposed to make ventures | which in the not distant future may end in For the moment EGYPTIAN SECURITIES are dubiously regarded, and if it should prove true that Nubar Pacha, the Egyptian Minister of Commerce, has resigned, as the consequence of a dispute between the Khedive and the Hon. Mr. Cave, the British Commissioner, a panic in these securities is not improbable. The London Kconomist is quite frank in its discussion of the situation, and declares that changes in the Ministry ought not to be made in such acrisis. It says that the Khedive should have recalled the story of Abraham Lincoln illustrating the idea that horses are not to be swapped while crossing a stream, PERUVIAN BONDS. Efforts are being made to protect those | who are interested in Peruvian bonds, re meeting of the bondholders has just been held wherein arrangements were discussed | which, when effected, will determine a much vexed question. As yet, the matter is in embryo, a committee merely having been ap- pointed to negotiate with the Peruvian gov- ernment and to secure such subscriptions as may be necessary for the expenses incidental to pressing the investigation to a conclusion. UNITED STATES BONDS. United States government bonds continue in fair demand, although somewhat irreg- ular and sympathetic with the remainder of | the market. From present indications they will probably command greater confidence during the pending year than any other for- eign securities. Indeed it is said that they will be the only foreign investment in su- preme favor, AMERICAN RAILWAY BONDS, Concerning these it is worthy of record that the prejudice engendered by misfortune at home and by defaults on this side of the Atlantic is apparently rapidly disappearing. The number of purchasers is unusually large, especially in what are recognized as first class securities, and the English press is generally recognizing the fact that, con- cerning them, the safety of the investor is assured. Hence, this fact being recognized, good bonds are eagerly sought, and the ex- ample of large capitalists, who pronounce them cheap and safe, is being imitated. As has been before telegraphed to the Hxnatn, they are regarded as comparing favorably with the best English securities of the kind. ERIE. During the past week considerable com- motion has been experiesced in Erie, but loss. | there is no material change in the affairs of | the company on this side, The price fluctu- ates as usual, and opinion is divided con- cerning the result of the pending antago- nism. The London Economist opposes tho nomination of Governor Tilden, of New | York, as an agent in the new scheme of reor- ganization, and, while according to him the AtDrury Lane the cake and negus are | hichost honor, exoresses the opinion that because he may become a democratic candi- date for the Presidency of the United States, that event or the preparations for it will necessarily absorb all of his energies, and prevent the outlay of that influence which is necessary in the settlement of the vast inter- ests involved. It is further intimated that he might be within the control of democratic wirepullers, THE EMMA MINE, An animated meeting of the parties inter- ested in the Emma Mine swindle was held yesterday. Mr. MacDougall presided, and after the reading of the report he made a speech, in which he emphasized the fact that there was practically no mine, no ore, and very little money. He also advised that legal proceedings be commenced against Trenor W. Park, Albert Grant and other original directors on the ground that they are responsible for the deceptive statements which induced so many persons to throw away their money on a worthless security. Mr. MacDougall offered to undertake the legal risks, and to bear personally the ex- penses of the suit. He also expressed him- self as doubtful concerning the present America’ suits, inasmuch as they might inure to the benefit of Albert Grant and others, whereas if abandoned they might complicate the present position. THE STOCK EXCHANGE. Considerable feeling has been aroused by the determination of the officials of the Stock Exchange to break up the habit of dealing with defaulting members who have not paid the stipulated composition after failure, and are no longer entitled to the privilege of membership. The financial journals have more or less discussed the topic, and the ac- tion of the Exchange Committee is fully upheld. SPAIN AND CUBA. THE ANTILLES COLONY TO BE WELL 6UPPLIED WITH CANNON AND AMMUNITION. (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. } Mapnip, Jan. 8, 1876.

Sas Sunasttan, Jan. 8, 1876 Don Carlos has arrived at the town of Azpeytia, ff. teen miles southwest of here, after a tour of inspection along the Carlist lines. THE EASTERN QUESTION. GERMAN AND ENGLISH INTERPRETATIONS OF THE AUSTRIAN NOTE TO THE SULTAN-—Aa CRITICAL CRISIS FOR THE PORTE DIPLOMATS, Benin, Jan. 8, 1876 Connt Andrassy's note in regard to the proposed re- forms in the Sultan’s vassal provinces makes no definite proposal for controlling the execution of these reforms, but it is stated that he proposes @ virtual control through the supervision of the consuls and the reports of the ambassadors, THE FOREIGN CONSULAR PROPOSALS MADE THB BASES OF THE VIENNA CIRCULAR. Lospos, Jan. 6, 1874 The Pall Mali Gazette's special telegram from Berlin says that Count Andrassy’s proposals are substantially identical with the suggestiona made by the foreign consuls assembled at Mostar last autamn, and are designed to remedy the grievances they indicated. TUR QUESTION OF GUARANTEES, The question of guarantees is postponed until the Sublime Porte indicates the acceptance oF rejection of the proposals. AUSTRIAN CONTRADICTION OF AN ENGLISH WAR NEWS REPORT. Vinwya, Jan. 8, 1876 The Fremdenblatt announces that it is en- abled to state positively that the despatch from Viewns in today’s London Standard, reporting that the Austrian government had ordered all men here liable to military service to hold themselves in readiness to join their respective corps on forty-eight hours’ notice, is totally without foundation. The reserves have neither been called out nor have any preparations been made for 80 doing. RUSSIA. Beatsx, Jan, 8, 1876, A telegram from Moscow says that Dr. Strousberg, the bankrupt railway contractor, has been released from prison on condition that he will remain in Moscow until bis trial has terminated.

THE SUEZ CANAL It will not be all smooth sailing for Eng- land in the Suez Canal business, for the French shareholders are busy fomenting op- position to Great Britain. GAMBETTA, The friends of M. Gambetta, the republican leader, are trying to dissuade him from stumping the country in favor of the repub- lican candidates, fearing that this would give Premier Buffet an excuse to take repressive measures, for it is claimed that the latter is only waiting an opportunity to do so.

Buvvavo, Jan. 8, 1876, The Court met at nine o'clock this morning and the trial of the Lord bribery caso was resumed, John Hand was recalled by the prosecution. He testified as fole tows (paper shown witness) — I never saw the papor; never swore to it, The paper was the original petition of John Hand to the Legislature for relief Dated January 9, 1871; sworn to February 17, at Albany.

He was granted the privilege of the floor, and vehemently assailed Messra French, Shepard wad Griswold for their action. He said that Mr. | French bad gone from the cancus into the Board of Aldermen and betrayed him by felling out to the democrats, He denounced French as a hypocrite, and said ne had been Ling 4 of dishonesty. The action of the traitors, he said, had not only sunk them inthe | esteem of the republican party, but had gained for m the contempt of the democrats, whose dirty tools they were.
