SARLYLE [Br CABLE TO THE HERALD. } ‘ LONDON, Nov. 29, 1876, A ministerial crisis of the frst magnitude ts threatened in Austria. The cloud may not be as fark as it. looks, but the sky is portentous of a toming storm. As long ago as May Count Andrassy bas seemed to be aware of German intiuence in the Austrian Cabinet. The Austrian Prime Minister did not return from the Berlin Confer- ence in a very tranquil state of mind, although nothing openly transpired in the German capital to give offence to Austrian interests. The Conference closed its sittings in absolute tran- quililty, although the massacres at Tartar-Baza- reck occurred during the time. But it is said that Andrassy‘learned a great many things out- side of the council room. Upon his return ; he made a journey to Pesth and had a long confer- ence with the leaders of the Hungarian ‘govern- ment. The apparent result of this visit was the Appearance at Vienna, late in May, of a defega- tion from Hungary sustaining Count Andrassy’s | course in the Cabinet and insisting upon his retention at its head—not that Andrassy contem- plated resigning, or that his removal was even seriously hinted at, but chiefly that the supremacy of Hungarian interests in the Austro-Hungarian Empire might be newly recognized. HISTORY REPBATING ITSELP. Thus, one Austrian ‘Cabinet crisis’ —which had no eal foundation—blew over. And now, the Teutonic danking interests in the Austrian capital appear, ¢rom Yhe meagre despatcnes received, to have concerted plans for crushing out the semi-government bank scheme so long entertained by Hungary, Naturally enough, from. a business as well as political point of view, the German and Slay elements in West- erp Austria are opposed to either the estnbdlishinent of second money centre in the Empire or the endow- ment ofa now bank which will divide the financial transactions, The old question of ‘dualism of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is involved in tists question of the banks, simply under another name. ; AUSTRIA AND THE EAST. Hungary, already wielding the balance of power, is Jealous of the position which the Empire has been forced to take in the Eastern question, She does not know bow to propose a remedy for the pres- ent situation which will mot be worse than the disease The acquisition of - any aow Staces from Turkey is viewed with i alarm, as endangering the present and recognizod su- premacy of Hungary in the Cabinet and the nation. Therefore, the Hungarians, with Andrassy at their head, mistrust Germany and Russia alike. Russia as- sumes the proportions of a “King Stork,’ and Germany seems to be endeavoring to un- dermine her at the capital with money and brains.) Tbis antagonism has wow taken shape under the form of hostility to what is known as the Austro-Hungarian compromise, which the Austri- ans make bold to maintain was framed solely m the Interest of Hungary. 4 committee appointed by the Austrian National Bank—the members of which are, of course, certain that Hungary does not need s bank of her own so long as she can do basiness through their institction—has recommended the rejection of the scheme, The Hungarian Minister of Finance has, theretore, suddenly set out from Pesth for Vienna, and will confer with the Austrian Minister of Finance, ‘The Emperor ts reported to have commanded the pres- ence of the Hungarian Minister at the capital, but this is unconfirmed. A GRAVE SITUATION. ‘This will certainly be a test question. Liko the Irish Untversity bill in England, apon which Mr. Gladstone stood and fell, this entirely subordinate financial issue may decide tho fature policy of the Austrian Empire, Thereforo, {f the reports from Vienna and Pesth are true, the crisis isa very serious pne. AS showing the fceijng in Hungary and tho firm stand which the Hongarian statesmen will be forced to take, tho following 1s appended from the Pester Correspondent. It says:— “Both governments are resolved to adhere to the Austro-Hungarian compromise, as settled by the com- pact concluded in May. The Hungarian government ban make no further concession without risking the Parliamentary majority.” A spectal despatch from ‘Vienna also says there is much excitement thero, as, without an agreement on the bank question, ® renewal of the Austro-Hungarian compromise ts impossible, MOR CAREFUL THAN THR PREMIER, The British Foretgn Offico publishes a despatch from fir. Henry Elliott, the Ambassador at Constantinople, strongly denying @ statement made by the Pera cor- respondent of the Times, that he advised the Porte to hold itself im readiness to stand upon ite rights and wake demonstrations of force. NOT ROOM RXOVOR. Turkey has formally protested against the line of femarcation fixed by the International Commission | between the Turkish and Montenegrin forces, and complications are feared in connection with reviciual- ling places besieged vy the Montenegrins, the regula tion of which was left for settlement by a subsequent understanding.

TURKEY'S POSITION IN THE CONFERENCE, [From the London Times.) We have said nothing of Turkey, but if we would enter the conference with any hope of being useful | there we must do our best to realize the position of | the Porte as weil as that of the other governments of | Europe, The Ministers of the Sultan have something | to say for themselves, No one can ge surprised :f they broadly declaro at the beginning that what ts asked of them cannot possibly be conceded. “It ts impossible. There is a public opinion in Congtantino- pleas weli as in London or Moscow, though tt 1s often overlookea, It has been strong enough to pus down two Sultaus within six months. Nor can we forget the assassination of our predecessors, We are asked to arsent to the disarma ment of Moslems in Bosuia and Bulgaria, so thas the true believer shal! be brought down to the level of the Ginour, Weare told that the independence of our administration of Turkishyprovinees must be fettered, It is said that sirangers must be brought in to see that promises'of equai government shall be-kept, All this is asked of us alter we have shown our- selves Victors tn the field. 1t is often cast in our teeth that Anmed Aga Is still at iargeand that Sheiket Pacha swaggers about Constantinople decorated as if nothing had been heard of his doings in Bue garia. Cannot you understand that wo dare not arrest these men? They know everything in the coffee houses and bazaars as well as we do, We know your Jealousies.

President Grant satd, during a brief interview to-day, shat he had virtually finished his Message to Congress, having completed it so far asthe substance of is was concerned, but that he was going over 1s again 80 a8 to arrange tho paris and join tnem*ogether. [8 will not de lengthy, but will dwell largely and with emphasis upon the present condition of affairs tn the Southern States. The President will pursue the course heretofore adopted by him as to his meer- sages and will keep the matter of the one now written entiroly to himself and until just before tt 1s given to Congress, when he will have copies of it prepared for the press, to be furnished simultancousty to the pa- pers when itis sent into both houses, It will be re- membered that last year, when the President had fin- ished his Message, which he had written, as he al- ways does, with his own hand ana compiled ail alone, during moments when he was secluded even from his own household, be carefully locked the manuscript ap in his private drawer and did not submit {t to the Cabinet until just before the meeting of Congress, A little while before the meeting of the Cabinet to-day, while leisurely talking over this subject, reference was made to South- ern affairs, the casual remark being made that he ap> peared to be calm amid the prevailing anxiety as tothe political complications there. “Oh, yes,” replied the President, “Ll never get excited, and I have mado ot a rule through life never to borrow trouble or anticipate it.” He added, with a smile, ‘1 wait antil tt reaches me, and then I am prepared to meet it.’?

THE FEDERAL CITY CALM AXD UNDISTURBED-— A DINNER PARTY GIVEN BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE. Washington is as quiet to-night as a country village, the news from Columbia exciting very little discussion in private circles, It was regretted by all parties that troops had been ompioyed to scrutinize the credentials of the legislative disputants, bat 1t was admitted at the same time that their presence prevented trouble, if not bloodshed. The news was also taken quite calmly in official circles, judging by the tact that the Secretary of State gave a dinner to the President this evening.

General Mackenzie, with the two battalions of cavalry formed from portions of the Third, Fourth and Fifth regiments of the Powder River expedition, and the Indian scouts, attacked a hostile Indian vil- lage on the north fork of the Powder River at day- break this morning and has been fighting all day. The village was located ina canyon running nearly north and south. It contained about 200 lodges, with perhaps 500 warriors. General Mackenzie's fighting force numbered nearly 1,000 men. LIEUTENANT M’KINNEY AND SEVERAL PRIVATES KILLED. We have lost one officer, Lieutenant John A. Mc- Kinney, of the Fourth cavalry, killed in the first charge, and three or four privates and non-commis- stoned officers, beside a dozen or more dangerously wounded. A TWENTY-FOUR HOURS’ MARCH TO FIGHT THE REDS, Our Indian scouts discovered the village, which is said tobe that of Dull-Knffe, the head chief of the Cheyennes, on Friday, and we made a forced march, starting Friday morning from a point about twelve miles northwest of Crazy Woman's Fork, and march- ing from sunrise Friday until sunrise this morning. A WARM RECEPTION. The camp was at War Dance all night, and all Were awake when we entered the canyon, and the noise of our approach gave them an opportunity to prepare a warm reception for us. 1 entered the village with General McKenzje, who dashed in at the head of his column, and as we crossed the open plateau between the hills buliets hissed from every side, sometimes with fatal emfect. © THE INDIANS FIGHTING FROM COVER. On seeing our number the Indians took to the rocks immediately after our entrance to the ravine, and entrenched themselves for a prolonged fight. From the nature of the ground it was extremely diMcult to dislodge them, GALLANT CONDUCT OF THE TROOPS. Our men, however, beliaved splendidly, exposing themselves perhapsa little too much at times. The valley in which the hostile village stood is about a third of a mile wide, and its sides are steep binfs of red sandstone, with suiicient brush to hide a large force of Indians. HOLDING THE FIELD UNDER A STRAGGLING INDIAN FIRE. ‘We are camping on the battle flelad to-night, though the guns of hostile savages are flashing from behind a hundred bushes still, and their shrill, flend- ish cries oreak the still air whenever they see a head or think they have hit one. NO TIME TO EAT. Last night’s march was a long and trying one to us and to-day we have not been able to get a mouth- ful to eat until late in the afternoon. BAD BEHAVIOR OP THE INDIAN ALLIES Most of our enlisted Indians behaved weil at the start, but after the first heat of the charge very SMOOTH-BORE GUNS AND EIGHT-INCH RIFLES. | many of them relapsed into apparent tndifference The conversion of emooth-boro guns into efficient | to everything except plundering the abanaoned eight-inch rifles has progressea satisfactorily. Tho coiled wrought-iron tubes used in the conversion have been imported, but a trial of a gen with a tube of do- mestic manwucturo has given the best results and proved conclusively that our product ts equal to tho mmported, notwithstanding the long experience in such work in English sbops. Dependence car now be placed on the private enterprise and skiil of our own people for the tubes for eight-inch rifies, and in the preparation of guns of that naturo our material, lobor and machinery will meet our requirements, Tho eight-inch rifle, with an Amori- can tube, bas succersfuliy withstood over 600 tepees of the Cheyennes and trying to run off horses, THB INDIAN L083, The destroyed village was tolerably well furnished and we captured about 250 ponies. Had the camp been located in a less dificult country we should have crushed the whole band. As it is, we killed about twenty that can be counted and doubtless many more have fallen behind the rocks. About five or six of our horses have been killed. Isend a partial list of killed and wounded. Only rounds with battery charges, and still remains ia | one officer has been lost and his death 1s deeply re- serviceable condition. Upto dato three guns of this class have been tested, with the most satisfactory re- sults—two eight-inch and one nine-inch calibre, all converted from ten-inch smooth bores, Several ex- perimental guns of large calibre, both muzzie and breech loading, that were manufactured under the act of June 6, 1872, have been on exhibition at the Cen- tennial Exhibition by request of the respective in- ventors. itis the intention of the department to have them removed to Sandy Hook and ascertain their merits by actual trial as soon as Congress appropriates the funds necessary for the parpose.

TAYLOR JOHNSTON'S COLLECTION ACADEMY OF DESIGN. On this morning the collection of art works, known to the public as the Taylor Johnston collection, wil! be placed on public exhibition at the Academy of Design, preparatory to their sale by auction. For many years the owner has devoted shoughs to jho bringing together works, and 0 euecessful had he been’ that the collection came io be regarded as one Of the best, if not the best, on this continent For the at THE of these from she fact thatis fils completely the walls of the Academy of Design. But if is is important from the nomber of works i ts still more so from their quality. Wherever the eye turns ‘tis attracted by some GRRAT MASTERIINCE that under ordinary circumstances would be glory enough for one exhibition, but many works have crept in that one would searcely expect to find among so many masterpieces, These, no doubt, rep- resent the earlier efforts of the collector to make up an ars gallery. The Srst pte ture he ever bought, however, shows a pretty sound judgment even at the beginning; tt ts Cole's “Kenilworth Castle,” which was pure! tion, and was the ced of the large collection which 1s s00n to be scattered to the four points of the compass. Most of the important worke belong to European i 1 \ trolling influence over the collector's taste, A re- tures 1s that there is little evidence of intimate SYMPATHY WITH ART for itself, There are tow works by young men, and tbe collector seems to have waited until the world had given men fame before venturing to encourage them—as a result every work has been paid for at its inflated value, and only very good fortune or very | Feat generosity on the part of purchasers will enable | Mr. Johnston to sell his pictures without considerable loss. There are in all somo 320 paintings and draw- ings, some of the latter having very little merit. TUE SOUTH Room. It is flattering to the national pride that ar American artist has here a place of honor among the master- pieces of the European schools, and this honor is fairly earned by Mr, Church's jagara Falls” The artist has attempted a difficult feat and fairly achieved Anotable triumph, His work ts a bold attempt to re- produce on canvass the tremendous power and move- ment of the mighty gataract, and he bas come as near {| success as the pature of the subject will admit, Look- ing at his can¥as we can almost imagine that we hear the THUNDEROUS ROAR OF THK WATERS, and so well tins the artist acquitted bimeself of the water painting that the stream seems to flow over tha shelving rocks in the foreground. In this be has been singularly successful, but who can hope adequately to | Xpress on canvas the resistless sweep of the immense volume of water over the Horse Shoe bend or render the silvery mists that rise irom the deptia of the abyss tn miilion atoms, sparkling like jewels or floating off like gigantic water sprites shadowy ana thin as air, And to paint Niagara tn all its glory it is necessary to do this, Feeling, n0 doubt, bia inability, the artist bas chosen a cloudy day, and bas reproduced with great tueltty the at- mosphere conditions, In point of simple grandeur and forve this Ameriean work holds a tront place among the best efforts of foreign art. Close by is a REMARKABLE PIGURR SUBIRCT by Jeromo, “The Call to Prayer,” an incident in the aatly lite of aii Mohammedan countries, The muezzin atands on the gallery of a lofty minaret, and the city of Guiro spreads out before him while he calis the taithiul to prayer as the sun goes down, The artist bas treated the subject with due reverence and sympathy. In composition a {s simple and dignified, and truthtul in detail and local _ color. There is in the calm mellow ovening atmosphere something of sanctity, and one caf almost hear the soiemn melody of t muezzin’s prayer floating over the busy city, All Peace above, and below We catch a glimpse of the crowded town, with its square, flat roofed houses, and here and there a tall columnelike tower rising {rom some holy mosque. The admirable color harinony o! this work ts im strong contrast with some of the cruder efforts of the American ané German schools ‘tA Young Roman’s Bath” fortus the pend- ant to this work, but differs from it in all the essentials: of high art, Ithas really nothing to recommend it, except acertain pink and white prettinss of color, not at all true to nature, The drawing 1s weak, especially in the case of the woman holding the child, and the modciling of the nude girl is far from good. ‘The moderu Dutch school ts represented by a breezy marine by Israel’s ‘Landing trom a Lugger,"’ which is strong in treatment, but the wave modclting leaves something to be desired—the peculiar color of the water we attribute to local influences. Near this isa very excellent example of Boughton, evidently painted before that artist got spoiled by painting trom LAY FIGURES, It shows strong evidence of French influence in color and subject, avd hes that pecuiiar sweet senti- ment that distinguished the artist's earlier and less pretentious efforts. A. Simonnetti's picture, “Procla. mation tm Front of the Pantheon,” is an unequal work. The artist has spread himselt too much and the composition lacks concentration, The pom- posity of she criers is cleverly rendered, but upproaches too closely to broad caricatare.
