THE VIRGIN AT MARPINGEN. Bismarck’s Policy of Religious Repres- sion in Rhineland. Lonnow, Oct. 21, 1876, Saturday is decidedly an off day in journalism in London. Without exception all the daily newspaper Offices are closed, as none print Sunday editions, Band, excepting the bureau of the New York HERALD, there is not a light in any Fleet street office. It is possible, therefore, to close up the day's review at midnight. A more hopetul feeling prevailed in the metropolis to-day. The opinion is hourly gaining ground that peace is attainabie, but the hope has more foundation in the hearty desire of the public than in any alteration in the situation. It is now thought that Russia will be able hence- forth to negotiate directly with Turkey; that the Bultan, seeing the Russian preparations and the attitude of Greece, and finding that the support of the great Powers cannot be expected any longer, \s inclined to accede to the Czar's demands, es- pecially with regard to the independence of Servia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the freedom of the Dardanelles. By these great sacrifices Turkey hopes to save her other provinces. This, deed, seems her only hope of preserving her name on the map of Europe. Whether she can with impunity thus virtually abrogate the Treaty of Paris remains tobe seen, Kngland, however, is not likely tosay anything, and France certainly will not. CONFIDENCE NOT RESTORED, “We bave no faith in the negotiations,” says the Pali Malt Gazette in a leading article, ‘‘nor in the re- ported understandings between the Powers, and do aot believe any of them to have abated their preten-. sions, laid aside their jealousics, or modified their poltcy.”” The article conciudes as follows:—‘The least Janguine view isat present the safest We shall do wisely in believing there is not yet any such concert or understanding between the Powers as may insure Europe against the worst consequences of a war be- Sween Tarkey and Russia.” OOXFLICTING RUMORS. To-day’s despaiches necessitate a serious modifica- tion of previous views in regard to the Eastern ques- tion. By the confession of the Times’ Vienna corre- spondent, he was mistaken about the Powers which had declared their acceptance of the six months’ ar- wistice, Neither Austria, France nor Italy had notified ihe Porte of thelqadhesion to that proposal, soough tone had objected to it. England alone, therefore, took formal action in its favor, The effect of this is, that all the Powers, except England, remain ina posi- tion to urge the Porte to concede the Russian demand. On the other hand, it seems certain that Russia has not the support of either Germany or Austria in the tomtemplated movement against Bulgaria’ Tho an- pouncement that the Czarewitch will visit the Courts at Vionna, Rerlin and London seems to indicate tnat Russia is hesitating to act separately, Anyhow tho mission of Colonel Detasbkoff, the Czar’s Adjutant, to the Emperor of Austria, fared no better than that of General Sumarakoff, and the weight of the evidence yeems to show that the other Powers have, like England, taken up an expectant attitude in face of Russta’s warlike preparations; for we have also a con- tradiction of the Russo-Italian alliance trom several quarterr, including a semi-official despatch from fome, which says :—‘Contrary to rumor, Italy, up to jhe present, maimtams an attitude of reserve,” Prince Bismarck is still at Varzin, the Emperor of Austria and Count Andrasey are at Pesth and the Russian Court at Livadia, At Bel- grade it is declared that the Czar's re- turn to St. Petersburg will -be the . signal for the entry of « Russian army into Bulgaria. In the Bervian camp the idea of peace is scouted. Fighting continues before Saitschar. The Servians, under General Dociorff, General Tchernayeff's new chiof of staff, are endeavoring to drive the Turks from their positions there. The Servians considerably out- umber the Tarks. ANOTHER ULTIMATUM, A despatch from Vionna says:—“Russia has pro- tented to the Porte an ultimatum embracing in sub- stance the following points:—First, a six weeks’ armis- tice unconditionally ; second, administrative autonomy for Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina; third, the ex- i ecution of reforms under the supervision of Commis- sioners named by the great Pow and to be pro- tected by an armed forcign force,” AUSTRIAN POLITICIANS, Two large clubs of the constitutional party in tne Austrian Reichsrath—the club of the Left andthe elub of the Progressionists—held a sitting in Vienna yesterday on the questions to be put to the Ministers Fespecting the atyjtude of the gevernmont upon the East- ern question. The majority of both clubs deelared against any intervention, occupstion or annexation whatever. Some objections as to thé competency of the Reiche- rath 1m foreign a , hitherto reserved to the delib- eration of the A’ ‘o-Hungarian delegations, wero overruled. THE RUSBIAN CO! Tatelligence received {rom Vienna states that the Russian War Minister has ordered the concentration of ten army corps. The Grand Duke Michael Nicolaje+ viteh, @ brother of the Czar, will take command, and M6 is said his stafl bas already been formed. THE TCRKISH REBELLION. Medup has capitulated to the Montencgrins, who hold the Turkish garrison 6f 400 men as prisoners of war. The Montencgrins have also taken the guns and ammu- nition of the Tarks. General Tchernayef has trans{orred his beadquarters from Deiigrad to Kaonik, Dervish Pacha has evacuated Montenegro, The levy en masse, which he recently ordered in Albania, proved fruitless, only 300 men responding. EXCITEMENT IN CONSTANTINOPLE. Teiday's article im the Lomdon Times, and the state- ment that England waa averse to rendering military assistance to the Porte, has produced considerable impression in Constantinople, It is certain that after the Sultan bas received General Ignatieff, the Russian Ambassador, there will be fresh deliberations at the Divan. “Peace, even now, is still possible," says the Pesther Lloyd, “but war between Turkey and Bussia, which cannot remain localized, is probable. EYFORTS AT PEACE. It is stated in Paris that England has replied to Russia that as she has already supported a six months’ armistice she cannot now recommend one of six weeks, byt sho will not oppose it. No Power appear- ing willing to take the initiative the question rests be- tween Turkey ond Russia’ A solution can thus only be looked for at Constantinople. Diplomatic circles in the French capital still hope for a pacific settlement, The report is current in Berlin that the Powers have again collectively urged the Porte’s uncunditional ac- ceptance of the English proposals, The National Zeitung of Berlin states that Germany has defined her position upon the armistice question as follows:— “She is indift it whether an armistice of six weeks oa months 1s granted. Therefore her interposition the object of bringing about an under. standing between the Powers on this particular quee- Mon can avail iittle, But, on the other hand, Germany never fails to recognize that the object to be arrived at is the restoration of an understanding be- tween the Powers with the view of procuring a durable peace.’ The ambassadors of the Powers met yester- day in Constantinople, at the residence of General Ignatiof, the Russian Ambassador. It 18 believed they agreed upon common action for procuring an un- derstanding with the Porte regarding an armistice and conditions of peace, Austria is stillon the fence, She either hesitates to make public her alliance with Rossia, of is sorry that she has formed such a part- nership, Tbe Ministerial Centre party of the Austrian Reichsrath to-day laid on the table an interpellation signed by 112 members, declaring that ‘an under- standing between Austria and Russia on the Eastern qaestion is indispensable. ’’ TURKEY AND THR CHRISTIANS. A long statement, said to be by a person fully en- titled to speak on behalf of the whole body of Ameri- can missionaries in Turkey, says:—*-The Protestant missionaries do not hesitate to aay that the Turkish government affords better assurance of religious lib- erty than some forms of Christian rule which might replace it, The missionaries have such dread of Rus- Sian ascendancy that they have requested me confiden- tually to lay before the German government certain proofs of Russian intolerance and to solicit Germany to secure from Russia guarantees of religious liberty before consenting to the dismemberment of Tarkey or Russian occupation.. The missionaries appealed to Germany tecause America’s policy of mon-interven- tion in European affairs precludes her treating the question by diplomacy. ”” DR. SLADE’S EMBARRASSMENTS, Dr. Slade, the Americau spiritual medium, and bis ‘assistant, Simmons, agains. whom three new sum- monses were issued, appeared before the Bow Street Police Court to-day, when the case was adjourned to Friday next. It sceme probable from the course of the proceedings tnus far that the case will bo sent be fore a jury. SOUTH AFRICAN DISTURBANCES.

The military manifestation which recently occurred among the Servian troops near Deligrad, in a moment of bellicose ecstasy, does not surprise us as much as the genoral reception of the mews of the regrettable actor ng Prinee Milar King.

But every title should have, if not a purely historic significance, at least a basis expressive of its international value proportionate to the power of tne State.

PERSECUTION IN GERMANY. PRINCE BISMARCK SENDS A SPY AMONG THE CATHOLICS OF THE RHENISH PROVINCES UN- DEB THE ASSUMED GUISE OF A HERALD COR- BESPOMDERT. (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] BERLIN, Oct. 21, 1876, It would seem that Prince Bismarck has not for- gotten the HERALD, and that he makes use of its name to carry out his system of religious persecu- tion, Several arrests have been recently made among the Catholic priesthood that excite almost universal condemnation. 1 am able to lay the facts just as they are betore the HERALD’s readers. In June last at Marpingen, a small village in one of the Rhenish provinces, it was announced that the Virgin had appeared to some children near a foun- tain. The report spread rapidly. Marpingen soon became a goal for numerous pilgrimages; a shrine Was set up, and the number of visitors was con- stantly increasing, The Prussian government, fear- ing the impulse which the reported miracies was giv- ing to the Catholic faith, forbade pilgrimages to the village. The decree declared that the reported miracles rested wholly upon the ‘authority of chil- dren. Soldiers were quartered upon the citizehs of Marpingen, and a detective was sent to the place who announced himself as a special correspondent of the New YORK Heraip. He lived in good style and spent money very freely. Trading upon his sup- posed American employer he soon gained the con- fidence of many of the Catholic clergy, whom he has now arrested on the charge of fraudulently promot- ing superstition. Even the moderate German Papers denounced such an’ abuse of the police sys- tem as freely as they date under a government that keeps “a reptile fund.” The announcement of thé arrests has caused much talk and comment among the liberal classes here.

EXCITEMENT AT RED CLOUD AGENCY—SIOUX APPLYING FOR FOOD AND REFUSED—THE TROOPS STANDING AT THEIR ABMS EXPECTING AN OUTBREAK, ; Fort Lanantg, Wy. T., Oct 21, 1870.\ Acourier who arrived here at nine o’clock this evening from Red Cloud Agency reports great excite- ment there and apprehensions of considerable trouble, General Crook’s order to stop the issuance of rations to the Sioux on the reservation antil they had given op their arms, ammunition and ponies, was tho cause. These Indians, who had kept away from the neighborhood of the post since the departure of the Commissioners, sent in some squaws and a few bucks for rations yesterday, that being issue day, ignoring General Crook’s order. Word was sent to them that no provisions would be issued until they had given up their arms, &c., and they refused to accept the conditions offered. Many of these Sioux are believed to have been on the warpath during the summer, and more recently engaged in horses and cattlo along the border. The troops now at Red Cloud—some ten or twelve companies altogether—were erdered under arms, The cavalry men stood all day in a driving snow storm at their horses’ heads, ready to movo should an outbreak occur. When the courler started for Fort Laramie thero Were indications of a sere resistance by the In- dians. It was believed by many that Red Cloud and his whole band would show fight. Colonel Townsend, the post commander here, thinks there are me! enough at Red Cloud to check any out- break. There are not enough there, however, to pun- ish the strolling bands of savages now stealing stuck and murdering citizens all along the border.

Twelve Boats Lost in the Arctic Ocean. A TERRIBLE STORY OF ICE-BOUND CREWS. —_+—__—_ Sax Fraxcisco, Cal., Oct. 21, 1876. The whaling bark Florence arrived this afternoon from the Arctic Ocean with 190 men on board, being a part of the crews of the Arctic whaling fleet, twelve of which she reports lost in the ice with a portion of the crews. The remaining survivors have gone to Hono- lulu on the bark Three Brothers, ‘The following is a synopsis of the written report of the masters of the fleet:—On our arrival in the Beh- rings Sea we found plenty ot ice and extreme weather, and but few whales were taken in tho first part of the season, We commonced taking walrus on Juno 1, and the vessels engaged soon got all they had casks tor. Between the 20th of July and the lst of August the ships worked over to the east shore and so north toward Point Barrow as fast as the ice opened, The bark Arctic was crushed by the ice on July 7, off the Sea Horse Islands, cignteen miles trom the bend. ESCAPR OF THR CREW, The crew escaped to the shore, and finally were taken on board by the bark Onward, and subsequently dis- tributed among the fleet, Captain Whitney going on board the bark Rainbow. About the Ist of August the fleet, fourteen in num- ber, reached Point Barrow. The Northern Light and Norman remained south .walrusing and escaped the disaster that followed. We had to stand from Point Barrow several times, owing to the ice standing on shore. August 14,—A dreeze from the north an¢ northwest broke up tho ice, Whales made their appearance and soon all the ships were actively engaged nortncast of Point Barrow, The wind held trom the west to north- east until the night of August 16, when it began biow- ing frosh from east northeast. DRIFTING WITH THE ICR, All the ships stood in shore and anckored to avoid drifting ice, On the evening of the 19th the wind to- creased and hauled to the north, bringing the ice on shore, and we allran under the south side of Point Barrow, whore we found a lee for tour hours, but on the next morning were’ obliged to run south as far as Cape Smith, The Rainbow and Three Brothers remained at Point Barrow forthe next three days. The whales were numerous at Cape Smith and the vessels were busy taking them, In the meantimo a wind sot in from the wost, which caused an uneasy feeling. The space occupied by the vessels extended seven or cight miles off the shore, running parallel with the land south. This kept steadily closing, On the 23d the wind freshened from west northwest, and all the vessels exeept the Rainbow and Threo Brothers, who were still anchored at Point Barrow, wero surrounded by a drift of ice and beat tothe southwest, In the afternoon the wind began hauling south of west, but we still hoped, before the Ice closed on us, to reach the open seaor at least the Seahorse Islands, where we could find shelter. At sunsot the ice stopped our progress, A THICK FOG. On the morning of the 24th a thick fog set in. this tine the heavy ice along the whole coast. About two miles to leeward the ships were all lying in an open strip of water. Between that ana the shore the Clara Bell lost her rudder, when she ran near the shore and anchored. The ice closed around ber, and a large berg grounded south of her and formed:a breakwater, behind which she lay. ‘Tho bark Florence drifted up to Cape Smith and got under tho jee of the grounded iceberg, which proved her salvation. The ships Josephine, St. George, Cornelius Howiand and barks Camilla, James Allen and Onward were on- closed by pack ice during the afternoon and drifted rapidly to northeast botween the Woodyard Refuge inlets. The ship Marengo, under all sail, got within three or four ship-lengths of open water when the ice closed on her. As we neared Point Barrow the current slackened, and for two days we drifted slowly. The Rainbow and Three Brothers, ander Point Bar- row lay, im comparative safety, witnesses of our distress, but were unable to render any assistance. The Marengo, St. George and bark Acors Bar ch sent a boat ashore, intending to follow with others, coutaining provisions and supplies in caso of disaster, but owing to the ice starting afresh, were unable to do 80, On the 26th the first officer of the Three Brothers, with a boat’s crew, took the wife of Captain Hackmott off the bark Acors Barns to his ship tor safety. FOURTEEN MEN LOST, The next day the St. George’s men attempted to hanl a boatashore over the ice, but wore caught ina fog. Thirteen of them got on board the Rainbow and Three Brothers and the others regained the ship, except eno, who perished. Next day the thirteen men tried to get back to tho St, George, but never reached here, Eloven were rescued by Captain Owen, of the Three Brothers; the others were frozen to death on the ice, ‘The prospect was now very gloomy, the ships being held helplessly in the ice and drifting rapidly to the northeast, August 28 reached tho end of the bank, and the cur- rent changed to east. The ships at Point Barrow were no longer visible, and the situation was worse than over, the only hope being an easterly gale, August 29 found ourselves of PointTargent, The crew of the Marengo attempted to get ashore, but re- turned unsuccesstul. A COUNCIL MELD, The next day the masters held a council on gtho Java, and = coneluded there was no further hope of saving tho ships, some of which wero already badly ripped by the ice, This was only a touch of what might be expected. The ships altogether had about three months’ provisions, notenough to Jast through the winter. After a full discussion, and seeing no way out of the difficulty, it was decided that the only way to save the lives of all was to reach the land before escape becamo impossible. September 5 was the day chosen for starting, The ships were twenty or thirty miles from land and abreast of the west head of Smith’s Bay. September 5, all being ready on board the C. Holland, St George, Marengo, Desmond, James Alien, Acors Barns and Onward, the signal for departure was given. The boats had been put in the best possible condition. The baggage consisted of about twenty-five days’ rations of bread and meat and achange of clothing and a blanket for each man, Everything else but guns and ammanition was left on board. The main hope was to find open water pnough inside of the ground ice to navigate the boats south. ward and so reach the two ships, which were supposed to be outside of the pack. Wo loit at three o'clock P, M, Wo would first carry the baggage a half mile or so ahead, then return and drag the boats along. The ico was very rough in places, and many holes which would not bear the weight offa At packed and reached man were encountered, Many of the men fell through and suffered much from cold, Tne first might we camped on the ice about four miles from the ships, The next morning we re- sumed the march in a blinding snow storm from the northeast. The prospect was most discouraging. Sev- eralot the mon deserted ond returned toward the ships, where numbers of the crew remained who refased two face the hardship and journey toward the land, Of their fate we know nothing. On September 6 we reached a strip of open water, whon we launched our Loats and pulled toward the jand, All that day and the next we kept working hrough and over the ice, and at eight o’clock py. M. made jand two miles west of Pont Yargent, We continued working along the shore and at noon on the 9b sighted the Three Brothers and Rainbow at Port Barrow, and reached them be- fore night. We found the ice all sold beyond and the only chance of escape was to drag boats overland to the open sea, a distance, as alterward proved, of 130 miles, avtempted the journey, bat on reaching Cape Smith we found the bark Florence there, After consultation it was deoided that any eflort to proceed would be madness, and proparations wero commenced for wintoring ag best wo could at Point Barrow, The boats were prepared for whaling, as We made sleds and” 1876.-QUADRUPLE SHEET, that was the only resource for our food, and work was commenced on the house. On the night of September 13 the ice began to break up befure a strong east wind, and on the next day the Florence was able to get under way, All hands, with the buggage, were put on board, ran down the coast and found the Clara Bell frozen fast in the ice. The Captain said he wonld stay by her till the 17th, when, if there was Ro prospect of getting out he would leave in the boats for clear water, where the Florence was to wait for him. Made Sea Horse Island that night, the next night made Wainwright's Inlet, Waited there for the erew of the Clara Bell and to get water On the afternoon of the 18th the Three Brothers and Rainbow, which bad eseaped from Point Barrow, | joined the former, bringing the crew of the Clara Bell, which rewained fast in the ice, with no hopes of getting out. A part of the people in the Florence were then put on board the Three Brothers and a rendezvous appointed at St, Lawrence Bay, where they would stop for water. Both arrived there on the 23d and left next day for San Francisco, the Three Brothers for Honolulu, THE ABANDONED VESSELM The following isa list of the abandoned vessels:— Barks Onward and Clara Bell, San Francisco; ships St. George and Marengo, and barks Cornelius Holland, James Alien and Java, New Bedford; ship Camilla and barkentine Josephine, Boston; bark Acors Barnes, New Loadon, and the Hawatian barks Desmond and Arctic. The vessels had on board altogether 1,000 barrels of oll, besides a largo amount of whalebone and ivory. It is tho undivided opinion of every master that no hope can be obtained of the rescue of the ships or those who remained on board of them. All ae undoubtedly lost and carried away to the northeast in the immense icepack, which closed them in for miles around. W. H KELLY, Master Marengo, B. F. HOMAN, of the C, Howland. F. 8.
