CABLE NEWS From All Parts of the Old World. THE EASTERN STORM England to Fight the Imperial Alliance Single-Handed. .EUROPE’S QUANDARY The Statesmen Assembling in Austria and Germany. RUSSIAN SENTIMENT. The Czar’s Army Reported to Have Crossed the Pruth. Was THE WAR BEGUN? Loxpox, Oct, 20, 1876, There is a slight lull tn the storm which swept over Europe on Wednesday. The quiet docs not imply tnaction, however, for England 1s redoubling her afforts of the past week to preparo for tho inevitable. fhe most alarming symptom of yesterday was the haste which the Queon’s govornment is showing to send troops to India, Tho large Russian army at Tiflis ts not intended to eperate against Turkoy, This wmy is what creates such a panic in England, Fife {s the capital city of Georgia, In Asiatic Russia, and of all Rossian Transcaucasia, It 1s located on the River Koor, and has a population of 48,560 tnhabitants, Klis, with Khiva, one of the two keys to the land route to British India. England dares not break with the Sultan becauso of her Mohammedan enbdjects, 200,000,000 of whom regard the Sultan as the head of their church, This ts the Q@Teatest of all the reasons that strangely link the interests of the most civilized‘with the most barbar- ous nation of Europe. If the Bosphorus question did Rot exist at all England could not afford to co-operate for the destruction of the Turk in Karope, A Bpecial despatch to the Heraup trom Belgrade States that the Russian army has crossed the Prutn; but coming, as the information does, trom tho Servian sapital, it is to be feared that tho statement has been Marted by Servian leaders for the purpose of keeping ‘Sp tho courage of their men. If it be struc, bowever, tbe end has come. Europe will thon bo committed to Abe greatest war of modern times. wan. Ths Queen will hold n Council next Monday. This is an absolute indication that war Is considered almost Inevitable by Her Majesty and her government. THE ENGLISH CABINET, ‘Tho Cabinet met yesterday. Allthe Miristers wero ptésont. The Times declares that the meeting was rendered necessary by the critical state of affairs in Eurepe, for the negotiations which have occupied the last twelve months ere virtually at an end and ‘war between Russia and Turkey is supposed to be una- ‘voldable. Every resotution at a time like this is mementous. Kvon the conclusion that nothing re- mains to be done is one which a stnglo Minister decline to be responsible for, The met only to confirm by common the _ conclusions which the at agoord country had arrived. If the result bo only negative as far as present action is concerned, this only represents the almost ananimous desire of the nation. There 4g to be no ultimatum or contingent deciaration of war. There will, moreover, be no autumn session of Parliament. The Cabinet did nothing which can Justify prevailing fears of British participation in the war. Itwill be understood this result does not in- wolvo a positive decision respecting events which aro still uncertain, and tho positton will change contin- wally. It amounts only to this, that the existence of virtual war between Russia and the Porte does not treate a stato of things calling for our imterference; What we are not called upon either by the text of Wreaties or by moral obligation to defend woe of those empires against the other, fhe nation reservos full liberty of action should the compromising of hor Interests ever call for Interference. All we can see at present ts that a war of race and religion sufficiently formidable ts likely to weno in Eastern Europe. If it was permissible policy Jo wait and seo what would como of the straggle be- ween the Tarks and their rebellious subjects it is not bow wrong to stand aside and sce the development of the rome contest, England has nevor undertaken to Interfore in tho concerns of the Continent without Dontinental allies Thereis no good ground for be- Weving that we should have real support from any Power ina war forthe defenco of the Turkish State, Effectual resistance to Russian power must proceed from Austria and Germany. It appears unlikely that either of them will take a hostile position toward Rus- ste, all having finally returned to tho triple alliance. BNGLAND’S ACTIVITY. Orders bave been received at the Devonport dock- yard to completo the repairs on tho four-tarret steam- ships Cyclops, Hydra, Gorgon and Hecate, cach carry- Ing four guns, and on the iron-clad steamer Agincourt, parrying twenty-eight guns, Three composite gun vessels are building at Portsmouth, and two others in private yards are preparing for commission. Her Majesty's Indian troop ship Jumna, which teft Portsmouth on Wednesday, reached Plymouth last Bight, en route for India. Sho carries 934 artillory- men and opward of seventy officers and surgeons. She bas stopped at Plymouth for tho purpose ot embarking another battery of artillery, The Jumna has beocn directod to call at Gibraltar and Malta for or ders im caso circumstances should necessitate a shange in the destination of the troops. The depart- uro of the troops from Woolwich on Tuesday tor Portsmouth was witnessed by vast crowds and tho excitement displayed was tho greatost since the Cri- mend war, The latest addition to tho English navy, the Bac- chante, an iron steam corvette cased with wood, 3,032 tons displacement and 5,250 horse power, was launched atthe Royal Dock Yard at Portsmouth on yesterday. The Bacchanve will mount sixteen guns ASSEMBLING THE STATESMEN, ‘The parliamentary bodies of the Enropean States are sssempbled or will be convened. Tho Austrian Reichs- path reassembled yesterday, TheGerman Reichstaat @¥i take their seats on the last day of the present 7 ° ‘able to NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1876.-TRIPLE SHEET. month. That the English Parliament will bavo an | autuma session there is now very little doubt. These events are fully as ominous as any warlike demou- strations which bave been made in Southern Russia. RUSSIAN SENTIMENT, The St. Petersbarg Golos has publishea an article violently attacking Lord Beaconsfield, the British Pre- mier. The semi-ofMcial Journal de St. Petersburg yos- terday expressed rogret jor the unseemly obaracter ot the article. At the present moment the Great Powers are sup- porting the proposals which Russia has made to the Porte in exactly the same terms as previously adopted by England. Russia prefers to avoid isolated action as long as possible, and in reply to all overtures intended to wesken the triple alliance has intimated her inten- tion to adhere thereto, and has further pointed out to one Power that the supposition that a misunderstand- ing might arise between Austria and herself is in no way justified by the state of affairs, It is announced from Constantinople that General Ignatieff, tho Russian Ambassador to Turkey, who had been on leave of ab- sence, returned to that city on Wednesday. BUROPE’S QUANDARY. It ts diffcult to draw conclusions from the mass of conflicting telegrams about the intentions of Russia and tho position of the other Powers, The corre- spondents who are usually the best informed are at fault now, and any assertions of pretended facts which may find their way to the United States should be regarded with great caution. Every capital in Europe ts telograpbing to every other capital the in- quiry, “I6 1t peaco or war?” and nobody who will 18 wor the question. The news of the recon- stitation of tho triple alliance ts unconfirmed; but as yet is uncontradicted. Tho publication of Russia’s note refusing to agree tonsix months’ armistica in the Berlin Jmperial Advertiser, which is Germany's official gazette, is considered an indication of Ger- many’s resolution to agreo with Russia, On the other hand the correspondont of the Times at Vienna, usnally a most reliablo authority, eepecially on dip- Jomatic matters, repeats the assertion that England, France and Italy declared to the Porte thotr accep. tanco of the six months’ armistice, and that Austria expressed herself from the frst in its favor. Sho refrained from promising definitely beloro knowing the viows of Russia and Germany, but has frankly informed them that in hor opinion Turkey’s proposais are such as can bo ac- cepted. The correspondent confidently believes that, in view of public opinion, which is decidedly tn favor of the longest possible armistice, andthe probable attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Parliament, tt will be very diMoult for the governmentto reject the Turkish proposal. Now that England, France and Italy have accepted it officially in Constantinople, Austria can scarcely remain bebind them long. Aus- tria’s interests and antagontsms are sach as to render these statements of the Times’ correspondent highly possible but vot more probable than an agreement with Russia and Germany for putting an end to the war, In the latter case the question of peace or war depends apon England. It the Times’ correspondent fs right the question of peace or war depends upon Rassta, ‘TWO RUSSIAN RUMORS. Two curious, and not altogether credible, reports come from 8t, Petersburg. The first is to the effect that the Czarewitch will shortly leave Livadia for Vienna, Berlin and London for the purpoge of person- nally promoting unanimous action of tho great Powers in the mterest of a satisfactory solution of the Eastern question. According to assurances given in St. Peters- burg cirelos the Czar still adheres to hrs resolution not to act singly or abandon his alliances. The sccond re- port is that Lord Loftus, the British Ambassador to Russia, will abortly proceed to Livadia, and that such an act foreshadows a possiblo understanding between England and Russia. GREICE RAISING MEN AND MONEY, Intelligence trom Athens announces that the Greek government will submit to the Chamber of Depaties proposals for calling out 60,000 men and de- manding a credit of 50,000,000 drachwas, with au- thority to contract a loan of 10,000,000 drachmas. STOCKS CALMER, BUT NOT FInwER, The Stock Exchange opened freer from a panicky feeling yesterday, and most stocks were slightly firmer. Console were atthe previous night’s closing price, Russiansand Egyptians were about 1 per cent, and Turkish fractionally higher, but Hungartans were 1 per cent lower. The absence of definite news merely checked sales, There were no tmdications of a recov- ery of confidences. The Iondon Stock market and tho Continental bourees closed more settled. Pricos wero shghtly firmer, but there was no marked recovery. ‘A war risk of five shillings per cont was required yesterday by Lloyds and vartous insurance companies on British vessels trading between Engiand, Australia and the East. No bustness is yet reported in risks on Russian, Austrian and Italian vessels, but the rates on these would, of course, be higher. Silver was quoted at 523d, per ounce. RGYPTIAN LOSSRS IN ABYSAINTA, It ts stated, as coming from a trustworthy source, that the Egyptians lost, altogether, 27,000 men in the reeont Abyssintan campaigas. This isin sad contrast to Lord Napier’s famous English expedition. CHURCH INTOLERANCE 18 SPAIN. The missionary societies connected with Spain sent an address to Lora Derby representing to him the dan- gors to which the Protestants in Spain wero exposed im consequence of the tntolerance of the clergy and authorities, and suggesting that he should invite tho eo-operation of other Powers, espectaily Germany aud the United States, to protest against the continued porsecution of Protestants and to afford them protec- tion. In reply Lord Derby satd:—‘Our Minister at Madrid is taking such steps as he properly can to in- duce the Spanish government to put a lenient con- struction on the eleventh article of the constitution so astosecure {ull religions liberty to Prot nts in Spain.” CARLIST TROUBLES IN ROME. A sequel to the Carlist ptigrimages to Rome and the {insult offered to the Alfonso minister in the Eternal City is found in the statement that Cardinal Antonelli's secretary has apologized to the Spanish ambassador for the discourtesy shown him by the comm‘ttee which superintended the reception of the Spanish pilgrims by the Pope on Monday Inst in refusing to admit bim and his attachés, but the ambassador having telegraphed an account of the affair to Madrid has received instrac- tions to demand an explanation from the Holy See, STEAMER COLLISION, A collision occurred yesterday off Finshing between the steamers Switzerland, (rom New York, and Grebe, from Liverpool. The latter was so bedly damaged that she sunk, The Switzerland has two holes in tho bow above the water line, but is othorwise uninjured, The price of the Hxnstn to-day and henceforth will be three cents. THES RUSSIAN MINISTER IN WASHINGTON ON THE SITUATION—UNCERTAINTY OF THE BREWS AS REPORTED IN THE PAPERS—THE EMPEROR ANXIOUS FOR THE FREBERVATION OF PEACE— CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN TURKEY. Wasnisxaton, Oct, 10, 1876. In the course of a pleasant conversation had by tho Henao representative with the Minister of Rassia, Mr. Nicolas Shishkin, this evoning, the complications in the Kast and the likelihood of Rossia enter- ing upon ® state of war were discussed. The well-defined features of tho diplomat hhghted up gradually into ® frank and mated expression as the subject was broached, and the ques- tion was asked, ‘Is Russia really going to war?” “[ have no news of any kind im rognrd co it, not a single despatch or official communication,” said the Minister, ‘1 do not know anything except what 1 see, _aree.cents. . in the papers, and they in Europe do not always carry conviction to our minds, because they are not reliable. One day they represent a thing white, the next it Is black. Wehavo a different system there from what you have bere, and to us who are initiated it is very easily understood. Wo do not get easily disturbed at their statements; not, at all events, when first made, We wait and reflect. According to our system they have not the same opportunities as you have here to find out the facts of what they represent Kverything is closer there, and great affairs of State are confined to the circle of a few, and hence a great deal that they get is mere surmise or conjecture. With you the people know everything at once just as it is, Your journalism and all the circumstances are different. Just see how the Hrraup interviews the President most interestingly here ona at Leng Branch, and imagine any newspaper cor- respondent interviewing the Emperor of Russia, and discussing over the affairs ot the nation, Certainly I make no strictures We have never beard of such a thing. So I have come to think that the despatches of our papers on the Continent, like the Bien Public and others, are gotten np for some purpose, Most gen- erally it is for the benefit of financial speculators and adventurers. It becomes necessary to secure a fluctua- tion in some securities and to make certain bonds rise and fall im the money market, Some political news of an exciting character is made up and the popular mind 1s unsteadied as to what effect the reported troubles are going to create and the financiers step in upon the market to reap the denefit of It in the changing quotationa, All this talk of Russia going to warmay amount to this and nothing more. I shall walt further developments before I make up my mind. Certainly there has been a stato of affairs existing tn Turkey for along time at which we bave not been pleased in Russia, we do 1 think the actions of the Sublime Porte have commended themselves very generally to the admiration of tho balance of Europe.” TU EMPRROR’S STATHMENT, But I had a talk with the Emperor of Ruesia about a yeur ago, since when I have been in this country and then he spoke fully over the case of Turkey, Ho ex- prosséd himself as most anxious to do everything to maintain peace, and on no account, if he could help it, would hy, of his own act or will, cause anything to bo done which would bring on war or tntertere with Turkey. He was very much concerned abou: tt, and spoke with all the zeal of which so great and good a ruler as 1 know him to be, is at all times possessed in everything. Ho knew and felt how great an aflliction war was, and felt most deeply how much the world bad seen of it in late years, both in Europe and even hore. He will keep his hands per- fectly tied, to speak figuratively, 60 as not to invite or encourage war, and unless the people insist upon loosing them they will over be willingly turned toa declaration of hostilities. THE MOVEMENT OF TROOFS, I do not beheve the story of Russia moving sach numbers of troops as reported. Our people certainly hgve a common rebgion and feel'ng of sympathy with the Servians, and no doubt agreat many of them, on account of these feelings, may flock to their etundard and assist them. Just see how it was with you in this country in the matter of Cuba You could not prevent expeditions from leaving your shores. We havea very largo frontier, and one impos- sible to guard in this respect. When a man comes with his passport and it is en regle, If he wishes to go across the border wo can’t prevent it, But nothing of this kind has been done with the official sanction of the Russian government. RELATIONS OF THR POWERS, Everything bas been reported up to two weeks ago as very atmicablo in all their interna- tional relations between Russia, Prassia, Aua- tria and Itaiy, and even England was said to be very friendly disposed. Theo idea of Russia being affected detrimentally in any way in her national credit by a combination of the money market against hor, [do not think atall founded. There has been a great change in Russia since 1863; where then had hundrods of miles of railroad sho now has thousands, and, like, America, with whom Russia deeply sympa- thized during the war, she has been prosperous in everything since the abolition of siavery. The differ- enco in the one case with us is that it was accom. plished peacefully, while with you it brought war. But lUberty is the great source of prosperity. However things may turn out all will go well with Russia, and sho will not resort to war unless driven to it. While I was in Belgrade and Bulgaria as political covernor, and I bave been all over Turkey, I saw how badly things wero managed ana anticipated ultimate trouble, a 8 IN TORREY. The condition of affairs was such 18 to shock civiliza- ; tion, and Christianity must cooner or later do some- thing to remedy it. Thus showing his porfect confidence in the strong attitude and safo future of Russia, the polite Minister of that great Power made bis bow and dismissed your correspondent cheertully, hoping the Hxranp would have a correspondent in Servia to get the trath, The price of the Hmnauv to-day and henesforth will be three cents. FRELING AT THE PRODUCB, COTTON, STOCK AND MARITIME EXCHANGES. Constderable nervousness was exhibited on the Produce Exchango at the opening hours yesterday Morning in consequence of the cflect of the war ru- mors from Europe on the Chicago grain market. Tho telegrams from that city quoted grain at $1 16 up to $1.15, then fell off to $1 17, and fluctuated between the extreme prices throughout the day. in this city the grain prices advanced two conts early in whe business day and remained firm and quiet af that Ogure, but few contracts being closed, Pork advunced twenty-five cents por barrel on a speculative interest, In other lines, except froights, there was no unusual excite- ment. In fact the merchants on the Produce Exehango Go not desire to make any eontracts for the parchase or salo of breadstufs or provisions until the result of the meeting of tho British varliament shall be pub. lished, or decisive measures taken by Russia or Tar- key. A slight advance was made in grain freights; but not attributable to the news from Europe. The beaviost shipments of grain in American bottoms are boing mado now at San Francisco, direct for Liverpool. Grainehippers say that Russia has been preparing for this crisis for nearly a year and has its graneries full to bursting to guard against a block- ade of its receiving ports, On the Atlantic sea ports of the United States the Swedish and Norwegian ves- sols, consigned to masters or agents, are firmly held for higher rates of freight in anticipation of a brisk demand for neutral ve. sels in the event of a continen- tal war. Shippers of petroleum, Jard and tallow do not anticipate any abrupt change in prices or treights, If war echail be deciared within two or three months, prices will not advance suddenly and hold firm. The first effect will be to advance the rutes; but a reaction will follow, caused by specutators covering their short interests. ihe telegram from the London Lloyds yesterday, placing an oxtra war risk of five shillings per centum (or £100) on British vessels loading be- tween England, ralia and tho East, gave a better tone to the transactions on the Maritime Exchange, and versels’ owners flying tho Stars and Stripes felt confident of obtaining charters at increased rates. 1t ‘was undorstood there that Russian aod Italian vessols fa other ports were not” roceiving offers of charters, and that the marine iusurance companies were placing rates on them additional to the five shillings war risk announced by the London Lioyds. One of the prominent officers of the Atlantic Ma- tual Insurance Company, in conversation yesterday, faid that company had not fuereased its rates on Aterican vessels io Europe and, probably, would not If the European proviem should be jett to’ setilement by the sword, and he felt that it could not 90 settied now by diylomacy, American bottoms would bo in great demand, und tho ships of the Unitea States would be made the carriers for the world, The belligerent Powers would Lot daro to shyp commercial froights in their own verseis, end the Iaws of the United States provide that alter an American bullt ship bas been transterred bond fide ton British owner that vessel cannot be transferred again to the United States flag. He believed, be said, that # general war Jn Earepe would be a godsend to America at this time, as it would place thousands of merchant ships 11 commission and give employment to the vast Humber of seamen now in our ports, At tho Coton Exchange business was light, operators evidently hesitating to make contracts for futaro delivery until after the announcement of the action of the British Paritamont, Several ot tho prominent shippers said that they did not believo the “rumors ot war,” and felt that the European difil- emty would be settled by arbitration, In that event the Norwegian and Swedish vessels in port now rotus- bac at market rates would be left out in the co!

Sax Francisco, Oct, 19, 1876, The Pacific Mail steamship Alaska, from China and Japan, arrived Jast night, bringing advices as follows: — Hone Koxo, Sept. 17, and SHaxeuat, Sopt. 17, 1876. Much indignation is expressed by British residents tn China at the terms agreed to by Sir Thomas Wade, the British Minister, for thesettiement of the Margary affair, Tho result is generally pronounced as unsatise factory to English feeling and as a triamph for Chinese dipiomacy. REDELLION, The insurrections are spreading in various provinces, Yakub Beg is reported to have crossed the extreme western boundary of China proper, the imperial troops retreating before him to Lan-Chan-ta, capital of the province of Kansuh. The United States steamer Alert arrived at Hong Kong September 11, to replace the Saco im Asiatic } waters, RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS—THB GILK TRDE. Yoxouama, Japan, Sept, 27, 1876.

Messrs, Powor and Parnell have been intormed that, according to tho exactions of tho etiquette between thia country and Great Britain, tho resolutions will have to ceme through tho British Minister here, and thon through the Stato Department to the President, A great obstacle bas been found to the success of the first step in tho wording of cortain parts of the resolations, which are boing tortured into diplomatic tmpropriety and di courtesy. One part cites, it is anid, that “having suffered through seven centuries of tyranny, the Irish people mako their greetings to tho United States and its President,” &c. This cannot, it is contended, be passed by without an act of disrespect on the part of Prosidont Grant and a slight to Lord Edward Thornton, Her Majesty’s representative here. Thus the whole affair bas assumed an awkward condition, and it remains to be seen how Messrs. Power and Parnell, aswell as the President, the Secretary of Stato and the British Minister can be lifted out of it. The reso- lutions aro magnificent ovidences of art and taste, ap- pearing like a plate of purest alabaster, inlaid with mosaic, They aro left in one of the rooms at tho White House, neglected and alono for tho timo being.

A novel feature was introduced last evoning In the fair now being held in tbe schoo! room of St e's church in Barclay street, by the introduction of a mateb between four rifle teams composed of young ladies con- nected with the Sunday echool of the parish, Each team was composed of four young ladies, and each lady was allowed four shots at tho target, tho distance being tweivo yards, the terms be- ing to fire off-band, without = rest, from a rather heavy rifle, The judges chosen were Jobo Roberts and D. J. Kirwan and the referee was Mr. C. J. Mortimer. The firet prise wns a siiver cake basket, tho second a silver goblet and the third a silver napkin ring. All the young Jad: with one exception, were residents of the First ward, of this city, and sho was Ohio, though now a resident of St. in the Ninth ward. This young lady, Mise F. O'Hara, is about sixteen years of age. Each young Indy had a soparate target for horself, and the ‘utmost fair play was observed, although tho rivalry was most exciting between the fourteon young ladies who shot, two only shooting in the Independent team.

The heroine of the evening, however, was Mies B. O'Hara, who took the tirst prize and was made the recipient of considerable applause, Bus thero was a good deal of jealousy fora tew momonte, as it was stated that Miss O'Hara had entered the team with a promise that it she won she would not accept the prize.
