CABLE NEWS From All Parts of the Old World. THE EASTERN BROIL The Gravity of the Situation Admitted in the Capitals of Europe. The English Press Speaks Solerhnn Words. TTALY AND THE HOLY SEE. Loxpom, Nov, 14, 1876. Later advices fully confirm all the despatches re- Seived Sunday night regarding tho grave aspect of Aflaire in the East, brought about by tne speeches of the English Premier and the Czar. The reports from Constantinople forwarded 10 the Hgratp three days ago have only now reached Len- don by the reguiar news agencies. There fre good reasons for doubting Russta’s sin- cerity in regard to-both the armistice and the con- ference. A rumor which was current two weeks ago, Dut which scemed too trifling to credit, is uncarthed again, and this timo it is received with some show of truth. Knowing the unceasing efforts that Rus- tia is making to concentrate her army tn the South It does not seom so improbable that General Ignatici® returned from Livadia to Constantinople with an ulti- matum in bis pocket which netther Turkey nor Eng- land could tolerate for a moment, Such js now the curreat report; and, further, that the Russian Minister only awaits a signal from the Czar to present this vir- tual declaration of war. For my part, I believe the English Ministry fear the indiscretion of the Turkish government more than any aggressive diplomatic act from the Czar. ‘TRE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION, “Once more darkness has fallen over the prospects of peace,” says the Pall Mall Gaze/te’s leader last evening. “That it will lift again wo may hope, but the news that comes both from St Petersburg and Coastantinoplo gives us warning that what Is called feeling, may yet conquer wisdom, and that a certain degree of insatiety already threat- ens to creep iuto the judgments of those upon whom depends the tremendous tasue of péace or war. Tho speceh of the Czar is not the most alarming Incident of the time, but itis fer from pleasant read- log. Whatare the guarantecs which the Czar bas im mind? Are they such conditions as the Port will grant? Thercfa lies the whole question, and if we are to rely upon this morning’s news from Constantinople the question is not likely to be answered to the mind ofthe Czar. Turkey hesitates, we are told, to accept ® conference, and the Grand Vizier has te'ographed his objection to tho English government. Moreover, in apother report professing to come from Constan- tinople [the Pall Mall Gazette here refers to a special despatch in the Daily Telegraph) wo get what would Beem to be the substance of the objections thus re- ytorred to. Tbe Turkish government, who are said te be * deeply stirred by the injustice done to their nation and by tho fll return their enemies make for all their proofs of moderation, aro stated to have tele- graphed inetructions to their representatives abroad to the following effect :—‘We desire peace, with or without aconference, but we must have guarantees for the in- tegrity of our territory before we can admit recom- mendations or requests. We consider it an evil, !f not a fatal precedent, to accept a conference upon the in- ternal aflairs of the Empira If Europe has proposi- tyons to make to us let the Signatory Powers of the Treaty of Paris make them collectively and we will reply yes or no.’ Such is the account given of tho at- titude of the Turkish government, aud if it be correct it is needless to dwell upon the seriousness of tho news. Nocomment could enhance the gravity of so critical a situation as it reveals. If the temper too plainly indicated in thig haughty messoge is really dominant at Constantindple the prospect is a gloomy one indeed,” RUSSIA AROTSED. The Czar’s speech has found a general and enth: fstic cohe throughout the Russian Empire. Town councils, diets, trades, merchants, guilds, the clergy, and, in fact, all classes unanimously declare without qualification their joyful readiness to contribute to and fulfil to the ntmost all the demands which tbo Czar and the Empire might mako tor the protection of the in- terests of Russia. They place their fortunes and all thoir resources at the disposal of the government to e necersary means, The Servian govern- also received instructions to send back to Bussia immediately all Rassian officers who bave not resigned their commissions in the Russian army. DISCUSSING THE SITUATION IN ENGLAND. Sir Stafford Northeote, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at a conservative banquet in Bristol to-night, alluded to Eastern complications, He said the Powors were not actuated by jealousy, He believed the Czar’s speech had been misundorstood. He would Bot attempt to forceast what woald happun if the Coo- ference failed, but he most confidently believed there was every reasonable provability ola peaceful scttie- ment. Right Hon. Robert Lowe also spoke in Bristol to- aight at ao dinner of the liberal party. He declared \here was imminent possibility of England's engaging mawarof! which every Englishman ought to be ishamed. He deprecated Lord Beaconsfeld’s defiance bt Russia, He thought the proposed Conference would jead to no good and feared the peace of Europe was in imminent jeopardy. OLD NEWS TO UREALD READERS, A special from Berlin to the Standard contains in- formation forwarded to tho Hamatp several days ago, The Standard says:—“Tho failare of the Conference project is considered there as almost certain. The same impression prevails in Vienna” Among other sensational reporta in cir” ulation in tho various European capitals js ono that Russia has chartered sevonty steamers in the Black Joa ports for the transportation of troops, and wil Jhus avoid the necessity of crossing the Dauube and be tble to attempt a landing near the promontory of Ka- taburam. lt is also reported that the land owners of Bouth Russia bare offered tho Czar 5,000,000 roubles.

Lord Chief Justice Coekburn yesterday delivered judgment in the case of Tne Queen vs. Ferdinand Keyn, captain of che German steamer Franconia, who was tried for manslaughter tor running down, within three miles of Dover, the British. steamer Strathclyde, thereby causing tho death of several English subjects, and in whose case an appeal was taken against the juriediction of the court In delivering judgment His Lordship said tho facts were sufficient te justify the trial of the defendant if the Court had jurisdiction. Tne legality of the trial was contested on the ground that the defendant was a foreigner, on a foreign vessel, sailing from one foreign port to apotber om a peaceful voyage. The offence was committed on the high sens, and whether he might be amenable to the Jaws of his own country, the defemdant could not bo tried and pun- tabed by the laws of England. Tho right now claimed by the Crown was utterly unknown to the law of Eng- Jand and bad never before been exercised. It was first put forward in 1609 by Grotius, and only rested upon consensus of the jarists who had writton from that lume downward on the question of territorial author- isy. His Lordship baviag, i an olaberate judgment, Teviewed all the authorities bearing on the point and the writings of English and foreign jurists, said, “The conviction must be quashed frqm want of jurisdic- tion,” ANTICIPATING EVENTS IN ROME. A report has been presented to the King of Italy by his Ministers regarding the measures to be taken by the Italian government at the death of His Holiness the Pope. The Ministers propose immediately after the Pope’s death to occupy the neighborhood of the Vati- can by military. The Prefect of Rome will fequest certain papal officials to assist at viewing the-body and other necessary formalities. 1! this be refused the Pre- fect will forcibly enter the Vatican accompanied by the Questor and also by physicians, notaries and witnesses, who, after viewing the body, will send a certificate of inquest to the Cardinal Deacon. Ascal will be at- tached to the furniture in the Pope’s department and remain so until the removal of the body. After twenty- tour hours the body will be at the disposal of theclergy. The report also recommends that the Preiect be in- structed after viewing the Pope’s body to take posses- sion of the mest important papal insigela, incladin; the fisherman’s ring, and deliver them with the certifi cate of inquest to the Cardinal Deacon. GALES OFF THE ENGLISH COAST. Accounts from various points on the English coast report numerous shipping casualties during Saturday and Sunday nights, when a gale prevailed Consider- able anxiety is felt for the safety of the fishing fleets. The gale still continues, A Greek bark, from Spezia for London, was run down in the Channel on Satarday, Eight of her crew perished. A burricane prevailed at Lisbon trom Saturday even- ing tu Sunday night, and considerable damage was done to property and shipping. Twenty lighters con- taining goods, timber and coal filled and sask in the Tagus. KOT DEAD YET. The death of the Egyptian Finance Minister, which ‘was reported to have occurred while he was en route to Dongola, whither be bad been exiled for endeavoring to originate a plot against the Khedive, is donicd. His condition, however, is stated to be precarious. BRITISH CORN TRADE. Says the Mark Lane Ezpress in its weekly revicw of the corn traae:— “Cloar, dry days and the absence of moisture during tho past week has been of great service, enabling farmers to consign wheat to the ground under very favorable circumstances, and a larger breadth has been sown than last year. Tne potato crop shared this ad- vantage, especially the Irish, but the. English yield, notably in Midland counties, bas been very unsatis- factory. There has been little alteration in the quan- tity of English wheat marketed, and supplies, both im London and the provinces, continue limited, farmers preferring to withhold corn im the present depressed aspect of trade. Dulness prevailed in moet country markets, and business, generally speak- ing, was quito of a retail nature. The improved as- pect of the Eastern question bas caused the local trade to relapse and Jo-e the recent advance of 2s. per quarter. Shipments of Russian wheat are taking place very rapidly in view of approaching winter closing of Cronstadt and the Sea of Azof ports. The Board of Trade returns for October show a consider- able decrease of imports as compared with 1875 from the Continent, Egypt, Chiliand most noticeably the United States and Canada, the only country showing an increase being British India. These facts are sug- gestive as showing the diminution extends to all our usual sources of supply. ‘The week’s supplics have shown somo increase, but the larger portion of increase im wheat bas been from India, and it has been most interesting to watch how steadily imports of this class of grain bave been increasing from comparative insignificance to a prominent position in our sources of supply. A noticeable feature also in the returns of imports on Monday was the absence of wheat arrivals from Atlantic ports. Depression exists throughout trade, both wheat ané feeding corn having declined in value while the demand was ontirely of a retail and consumptive character. The floating cargo trado has ruled quict.”” FINANCIAL. “Specie to the valuo of £84,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for shipment to the United States, The Czar’s speech at Moscow on Fri- day Iast has had a depressing effect on the London Stock Exchange.
