Let there but be a day or two of biue, heavenly mantle, trimmed with cirrus fur, and the true Londoner knows in his heart that the dense gray cloud wraps and brown fog mufflers, of Nature are about to be put by foreight or nine months, Henceforth he will expect to see holes in the clouds now and then, and at intervals whole days of mild sunshine and balmy breezes, exquisite enough in themselves but ineffably 80 to those who have gone through the dreariness of a winter in London. LIGHT AND SHADOW. Covent Garden Market is full of biossoms—prim- rose pale and violet olue. In Coventry the lilacs and laburnums are beginning to bud. Butterflies, Wasps and ladybirds are flitting about the Kentish fields. All outward signs of the spring that charms the poets into song and thrills even the commonest mortals are visible; but the coming of the genial season awakens feelings ominous of ill in the breasts of those who look beyond the “streak of silver sea’! for what may happen before the lilies bloom. A KALEIDOSCOPIC TURN. Seldom have the telegrams to London been of a more threatening character than those of this week. The Eastern kaleidoscope has been given another revolution, and at every turn more startling effects have met the eye in its inter- esting though perplexing configurations. There we have seen Servian delegates with countenances wreathed in peculiar, but not reassuring, smiles on their way to Constantinople to conclude a peace which cannot influence events. Montenegro next occupies the field, with its hardy Prince Nicholas hesitatingly listening to Turkish proposals for an end of things belligerent, but glancing furtively over his shoulder toward Russia for a cue to guide hig acta. It would seem that he does not get tne Russian hint, for in consequence of a fresh de- spatch from the Grand Vizier urging the expedi- ency of conducting the negotiations between the Porte and Montenegro in Constantinople, he has assented to the proposal and anncunces that he will immediately send two delegates to the Porte, Probably he will get his hint before the delegation has time to do anything. AT CONSTANTINOPLE, At another turn the Bosphorus comes in sight, the tapering minarets of Stamboul and the dome of St. Sophia in the distance. War steamers with fires banked are anchored before the Sultan's palace; fez-wearing officials on their decks look anxiously shoreward in anticipation of helping the young Sultan to escape should the coup d'état which they are fearing take place through another uprising of the softas. Another turn gives us the Bosphorus again. This time Sultan Hamid ts out foran airing on board his yacht. He looks de- pressed, and rumor says that His Majesty’s mind is aifected—that incipient softening of the brain manifests itseif, Ot little use these airings by the Golden Horn if rumor tells the truth, The same remedy was tried with his brother Murad in vain. Another turn and the roof comes off the Sultan's palace, Chaos reigns instead of Hamid. In cor- ners all over it are little groups intriguing; no plot hatchings so baneful for an empire as those warmed into life under palace roofs when the master’s head is affected or his hand paisied. Here \t is @ group of officers, there a group of priests, elsewhere a group of graybeard pachas Bad work brewing. The inevitable—Kismet—does not terrify any of them, the fever for power is stirring as if the Turk was rooted so deeply in Europe that noth. Ing short of an earthquake could dislodge him. A CHANGE OF SULTANS. A Heraup bird whispers from Vienna that the Grand Vizier tendered his resignation yesterday, and that Mahmoud Damat Pacha is likely to be his successor, and that the Sultan's younger brother Reschid Pacha gains follow- ers as Hamid did in Murad’s time, and that they are honoring him as the next Sultan. ‘The physicians advise Hamid to avotd state business in view of a brain atfection. ‘The meaning of all this is that the alluring hopes of peace which were temporarily re-established and have been lately entertained again seem Diasted. WHAT MIDHAT BAYS. Midbat Pacha is sitting grimly cheerful at Na- e says: shall surely return to Stam- 1am not sure to find Hamid on the bonl, throne.” RUSSIA'S POSITION, Russia meanwhile waits fully armed, ‘The Eng- ‘ish public is surprised to learn the unmistakable readiness of the forces of the Czar. The Russian army of the Prath, it’is now discovered, has not ) troubled with epidemics, mutinies or disor+ yations, a8 Was 80 freely reported and hastily believed =a month ago. NEW YORK men of all arms, with full supplies of matertes and vast paraphernalia for crossing the Danube in twenty-four hours from the bugie’s sound “forward.” In Transcaucasus 115,000 men are ready to descend on Asia Minor and make their way over every obstacle to the castle of Asia on the Bosphorus. One hundred thousand men are massed on the Black Sea coast for de- fence of the Crimea i need be, or to make a descent upon Turkey in Europe by water. Behind this force is @ reserve of 75,000 men. In Bessarabia 10,000 Cossacks are thrown forward as an advance guard Very ominous, too, reads the information that the Central Society of St. Petersburg for assisting the Wounded in war has received the Czar’s permission for the collection of money and materials; also the circular of the Holy Synod ordering the convents to delegate Sistérs of Charity for immediate ser- vice on the Pruth. Sounding, too, like marching are the Russian orders for 100,000 pairs of shoes in Mayence. Suggestive of sharp work Is the scene of thousands of Shefield steel workers busily en- gaged hammering, pointing and polishipg bayonets for Russia and others shaping guns and putting gun carriages together. THE SINGLE RAY. A single gleam of peace !s that thrown by the Golos, which reiterates that Russla’s present armed attitude 1s a safer policy than attack; that the Fabian poiicy will sure,y lead to the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and thus to Russia’s oppor- tunity. Rather grim hope this, and slim, too. BLOOD ON THE DAISIES. So the mournful probability remains that the Dascent verdure of the spring of 1877 will be dyed ‘with the blood of slaughtered thousands. GORTSCHAKOFP’S NOTE. The question which at present occupies the atten- tion of English statesmen is, Will the reply of the Powers to the Russian note enable the Czar to re- tire honorably? The Times upon this point jocu- larly remarks:—‘The disbandment of the Russian army need not be accompanied by explanations, Europe will engage to look the other way while the sensible operation 1s performed." It is certain that Russia will not receive the sanction of Europe to | go to war. THE ENGLISH ATTITUDE. Last night’s discussion in the House of Commons has proved that the English government is still determined to resist energetically the liberals’ programme of coercing Turkey. The acrimonious debate showed more the desperateness of the party conflict than an appreciation of the critical condition of affairs. SOLEMNLY EXPLODING A CANARD. Mr. Gladstone was at his best, and triumphantly refuted the attack from the treasury benches, He amused the House by solemnly contradicting the report of a provincial paper of the dis- covery of a plot to dethrone Sultan Hamid and make - Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, Sultan, the promoters or the precious plot being Prince Bismarck, the Czar, Earl Beaconsfield and Mr, Gladstone. Apropes of the Duke of Edin- burgh the Liverpool Courier asserts that His Royal Highness has for domestic reasons resigned the command of Her Majesty's steamship Sultan, and is returning to England, “BLABORATE TRIFLING.”” In the House of Lords Earl Granville questioned Earl Derby in regard to the extradition dispute. The controversy is now temporarily settled. The recently issued Parliamentary blue book contains much new correspondence upon the subject. The London journals review the correspondence at,con- siderable length. The general to be that the whole been much ado about nothing. Neither govern- ment comes out well. Secretary Fish should have explained the Lawrence matter sooner, im which case the long-winded correspondence would never have been written. As it was, the English govern- ment has been compelled to confess humiliatingly opinion seems controversy has that the arguments based upon the act of 1870 were | wrong. Minister Pierrepont states that the o'd treaty is now revived in all its pristine vigor. The Standard says:—“For the present, solvuntur res tabule.”” + WORSE THAN CONSULTING LADY MARY. Speaking of Minister Pierrepont, the last issue of the World contains a paragraph alleging that cer- tain English merchants called upon the American Ambassador in reference to getting a bill passed through Congress incorporating and sanctioning a heavy international enterprise. Mr. Pierrepont re- pled that 1t would be necessary to spend a great deal of money in bribery among the Congress. men in order to get such a bill passed, intimating thereby that the Christian statesmen knew “‘a big thing” and expected tobe valued accordingly. Your correspondent visited Mr. Pierrepont in Victoria street this afternoon and obtained an interview. The American Minister gave an absolute and unqualified denial to the en- tire story. He said:—No merchants ever broached this or any other project of the kindto me. The assertion and the inferences drawn from it are lies.” AMERICAN OPINION. , The impression seems to have been growing among the American colony in London—ever since General Schenck was inveigled into writing a brief memorandum about the rules of a game of cards by @ lady who used his Kindness to ruin him—that a great many “jobs” are regularly “put up* on the Embassy of Uncle Sam. Mr. Pierre- pont was not in London forty-eight hours before his speech at the Westminster Palace Hotel, on the ever-glorions Fourth of July, was made the pretext for a universal tue and cry | against him. Then came the Lady Mary erposd, which was reproduced and referred to on this side with far more vigor than tn America. Now, it is something about bribery and sly advice regarding Congressmen who must be bought. The conclu- ston seems to be that the last’ two American Minis- ters to the Court of St. James have etther been very indiscreet or have been outrageously dealt with by those whom they supposed to be their friends, KING COTTON THREATENED. A remarkable discovery has been made in Egypt by Signor Giacomo Russi, the Austrian Consular Agent at Alexandria. fle has found a new cotton plant which is so wonderfally prolific that it may prove a dangerous enemy to the American cotton raising interests. Signor Russi has just published un interesting report of his discovery, He that about two years ago he accidentally cai the mew" plant on the property Copt in the Menutia district, who col- lected the seed and sold it to his neigh: hors at twelvefold the price obtainable says across of a for the ordinary kind. The plant has @ ong stem, and, being without branches, much space is saved, It it numbers 200,000 | bears an average of fity pods on each bush, while | | court, was yesterday released. | Fortunately the Chinese Ambassador and suite j in Ireland has excited the greatest interest in the usual yleld of the plant is about thirty. It Yields from 395 to 675 pounds per feddan, thus doubling the crop. A smaller quantity of seed is needed; but the great drawback in Egfpt ts that 1% requires much more water, which | necessitates the alternating of the crops with grain and vegetables, In the sea islands of the Atlantic coast or along the lower Mississippl it would prove wonderfully prolific, The HERALD’s correspondent at Alexandria thinks that the dis- covery will create a revolution in the cotton grow- ing interest of Egypt. THE CORAL REEF OFF PORTUGAT. An expedition has salied trom Naples for the pur- pose of securing and working the coral reef discov- ered by. the commander of the United States steamer Gettysburg. The Globe, an afternoon Paper that would like to be regarcled as a tory or- gan, insultingly remarks that “It ’opes the Neopol- titan Ashermen will not find that the Commander of the Gettysburg is a practical joker.” This, it ts only fairto say, has been the only slur cast upon this Important discovery. WEATHER PREDICTIONS. The Treasury Committee has submitted a report on meteorological observations, in which it suggests the adoption of the American meteorological sys- tem The report sets forth the perfection of the Weather Bureau in the United States, ana admits that we are ahead of all the rest of the world in the accuracy of our forecasts. DRAWING TOOTH. The religious news of the week has developed several interesting features, The Rev. Mr. Tooth, vicar of St. James parish, Hatcham, who has been imprisoned for his disobedience to the orders ot a The Queen ex- pressed great displeasure that a case of imprison- ment of a clergyman for an offence against the Church had occurred during her reign. ENGLAND AND ROME. While Mr. Gladstone is assured by a multitude of postal cards that the Roman Chureh is not increas- ing its strength In England the Voce della Verita, of Rome, on the.other hand, praises God for pro- ducing such wonderful inclinations toward the trne faith in England, and declares that the island shall have another cardinal in the person of Mgr Howard. . It is announced this morning that the cardinals have negatived the Pope's proposition to resume the Ecumentcal Council. JOHN O'MAHONY’S FUNRRAL. The HERALD correspondent in Dublin writes that the prospective arrival of the body of John O'Mahony the ranks of the Irish nationalists. A series of imposing «demonstrations will, it ts expected, take place, Thousands of Irishmen not sympathizing with Fenianism will join in the processions at Cork and Dublin to manifest their hostility to the present system of British rule. illustration of this it is stated that the home rulers will march with the advanced nationalists, or, they are called, Fenians. In MAKING ARRANGEMENTS, Cardinal Paul Cullen has been solicited to permit O’Mahony's body to le in state in the Catholic Cathedral. It will be remembered that when the body of Terence Bellew McManus was brought to Dublin, Cardinal Cullen would not allow it to lie in any of the Catholic churches of Dublin, and hence it lay in state in the Mechanics’ Institute. It is not thought likely that the desired permission will be accorded, It 18 decided to iter the remains in Glasnevin Cemetery by the side of McManus. The day for the funeral has not been fixed, as it must depend upon tne arrival of the Dakota, THE CHURCH AND STAGE. The church and theatre discussion proceeds vig- orously. Professor Blackie, in the Greek chair ofthe University of Edinburgh, has been denounced by a Dumfries clergyman, whose name is not recailed, as exerting an influence which will lead good and innocent Scotchmen to the theatre— and = hellwards, Blackie retorts by challenging him of Dumfries deliver, @ year hence, a lecture in behalf of the pulpit against the theatre, while he (Blackie) speaks for the puipit and the theatre. ‘ie Edinburgh pro- fessor is convinced that he can pound his antago- nist’s arguments to jelly and toss him into the fies, MR.

NEW MUSIC FOR WAGNER, Herr Wagner has written an epistie to his faithtul followers of the “music of the future,” which, un- fortunately, gives an opportunity to his enemies to attack him on his weak point. King Ludwig of Ba- vana held a half dozen councils in regard to Wag- ner’s letter, and @ gentleman who was present says that His Majesty was furious toward Wagner for issuing such a circular without consulting any of his old friends, THE ANNUAL SCOTCH LITERARY TREAT.

(BY CABLE TO THE HERALD, } GFRALD BUREAU, 61 AVENUK DE cea age Pants, Feb, 17, 1877, Paris has had a very gay carnival. Street mas- queraders were rare on the right bank of the Seine, butin the Latin Quarter, as usual, the students made merry fantastically with biushiess young women, who will walk down the Boulevard St. Michel in broad daylight dressed in men's clothes or attired in the tghts of a medieval page and surrounded by a tribe of admirers whose fathers or guardians are far away in the provinces filled with the belief that the young men are busy studying Roman law or Bichat's surgery. When night comes down, however, there is a change all over the city. The pleasures of Mardi Gras are pale in the sunlight ef the nineteenth century, but the gaslight of this cycle often illuminates things no better than they should be. From the stately grand bal masqué de Vopera down to the wild gatherings of ouvrters in Belleville and the Bastille, and across the river outto the confines of the pays tatin, where the students and the naughty pages kicked ap their “heels, all was merriment, The ball at the Grand Opera House was very successful and the costumes Magnilicent, although the large majority of the gentlemen present were in plan evening costume. The coup d'eil from the upper tiers after midnight was very brilliant. [t will give some idea of the vigor with which Paris went into the enjoyment of the carnival to state that seventy-eight balls were given in the public halls on Shrove Tuesday, and, though it may shock the orthodox, that the fun was kept up in them all until sunrise on the penitential day of ashes. Poli- tics, foreign and domestic, were voted a bore by | everybody for the time being. THE THEATRES. The theatres have profited by the general rush jor amusement and have been overfowing for the past week. Offenbach’s “Foire de St, Laurent” is crowded nightly, as a fair should be. A CREOLE WARBLER. Mr. Gye, the lynx-eyed Covent Garden manager, has signed an engagement for six years with Miss Fairix, a beautifnl young New Orleans creole. She is said to have a wondertul voice, Gye sends her to Milan to study for another year, SAnDOU. M. Victorien Sardou’s “Exilés” will not be pro- duced until the end of March, GENEVIEVE DE GOTHAM. The Shakespearian performances of Miss Gen- evieve Ward in French, at the Porte St. Martin, are attracting great attention. Mr, Wylie, the American artist, died on the 14th inst., in Brittany. BALL COSTUMES. The Comtesse Pourtales and the Comtesse Re- hagues, both leading society belles, have appeared at balls in this city with short waists and full, fow- ing skirts, very short in front and with long trains— a revolution in the toilet more pregnant with events than even the Eastern question, CORSETS.
