Weare informed that the government have al- Feady 35,000 troops and 11,000 horses ready to embark at any moment.” Tho Pross Association announces that the War Office bas decided that in the event of an English army bav- ing to proceed to the seat of war Lieutenant General Sir John I1ntorn Simmons shall be {ts commander-in- chief. In the House of Commons yesterday Mr. Gathorno Hardy, Secretary for War, in reply to the inquiry Made on Monday, stated that no special roster had been prepared of troops ready for immediate service, Mr. Bourke, Under Foroign,Secretary, answering a Question put by Mr, Hubbard, said the government was ‘Ot prepared to contest the right of the Porte to issue Fegulations for the blockade of the Black Sea, <A de- spatch had been sent by tclegraph to Mr, Layard direct- 1ng him to ask for an extension of some days for Brit- isb shipping and the Porte had answered affirmatively. Mr, Sullivan gave notice that he would ask on Mon- day for an explanation of the intimation of Mr. Cross, the Home Secretary, that England would defend Egypt from interference or attack. Mr, Sullivan said tne points he wished to have explained were :—First, whether itis Necessarily the’ meaning or intention of tho govern- Ment to enable Egypt to participate as a belligerent in the war by supplying Turkey with troops without in- curring tho risk of retaliatory hostilities; second, whether the House is to understand, from the language used, that the governmert were resolved, if Russia should retaliate on Egypt by attacking Alexandria, upon the employment of British arms against Russia; third, and last, whether the iutimations to Turkey and Egypt that their chief ports would be more or less Protected against hostilitics 1s not substantially a de- parture irom strict neutrality. The Parliamentary whips ou both sides were very Active, and sent urgent summonses to members to be tm their seats last night, in readiness for the division on Mr. Gladstone’s resolutions. GLADSTONE’S RESOLUTIONS, In the House of Commons last night the debate on Mr. Gladstone’s resolutions was resumed. Mr. Childers (liberal) considered that the third and fourth resolutions contained the germs of a solution of the Eastern question, He complained of tho anti- Russian bias displayed by the ministeralis' and censured Earl Derby’s reply to Princo Gortschakoff as Ml considered and tending to provoke Russia and re- vive the hopes of Turkoy. Viscount Sandon defended the government. He t. lieved that the approval and encouragement beld out to Russia was tar moro serious and more calculated to extend the war, because it is directiy opposed to the interests of Austria, Germany and Italy. Mr. Koobuck asserted that England might as well declare war on account of the treatment of tno Indians in America as on account of that of the Christians in Turkey. Mr. Lowe denied that Mr. Gladstone’s resolutions meant war with Turkey. The government policy was marked by a strange perversity. Nothing could have been more insulting to Rusia than the treationt ot the protocol and of Prince Gortschakoff’s note. Eng- land, and not Russi, bad separated herselt trom European concert, The debate was adjourned until Thursday. IX THE HOUSE OF LORDS, In the House ot Lords the Duke of Rutland criti- cised the strong tanguage of Earl Derby’s reply to Prince Gortschakof. Ho said the reply was liable to be misinterpreted as a doparturo from strict neu- trality, and asked whother it was submitted to be ap- proved by the other Powors belore it was sent. Lord Derby replied that the suggestion that the teply should have been submitted to the other Powers Was unprecedented. He did not doubt the sincerity of tho Szar’s declaration to Lord Loitus, but he could not lorget that the Russian army was at the same time ereparing for war and that a declaration of a different kind bad been mado at Moscow. Ho demoed that tho reply was inconsistent with neutrality. ‘We aro not bound, ‘ho said, ‘to abstain trom exprossing an opinion which wo wero invited to give on tho merits of quarrel.” He deprecated the Ministers being nightly tallod upon to éNpress opinions upon delicate ques- tions of intgnational law as likely to lead to danger- ous utterances, THR DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE, Advices from St, Petorsburg say that a semi-official Journal confirms tho report that Russia does not intend to reply to the British note. The French government will merely acknowledgo the receipt of Prince Gortschakofl’s circular. A Constantinople despatch says:—Recent intelligenco trom England, espectally Lord Derby’s reply to Prince Gortschakoff, has revived confidence, It is believed Turkey may still look to England for support. It is said Austria seems determined to oppose tho entry of the Russians ito Servia, A corps of Polish volunteers is being formed in Constantinople, Tho Globe reports that Admiral Popoff will take com- mand of the Russian armaments in the Black Sea, Hobart Pacha will romain permanently in the Otto- mon service. ‘The Ameer of Kashgar’s envoy at Constantinople telegraphs an emphatic denial of tho reports that he has formed an alliance with tho Sultan against Russia, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, THE GETTYSBURG AT CONSTANTINOPLE—on- DERS.

The sottloment of the Lick trust has doveloped a new phase of difficulty, At a meeting of the Society of California Pioncers |ast evening a resolution adopted by the directors wos read, which 1s to the effect that the Board wouid consent to the payment of $385,000 to Jobn H, Lick, in addition to the sum given tohim by the late James Lick, provided that all the socictics sharing in the bounty of the deceased philanthropist should bear their proportion of tne expenso These other socictios had been led to believe that the $386,000 was to cume ont of the residue set apart be divided equaliy between the Academy of Beiences and the Pioueers, aud had filed their anewors consenting Lo the payment ou that bypothesis, The trustees of the Lick estate expectod the two residuary legatecs to accept that idea aud to come ito Court to- day so that the whole matier could be closed up.

Loxnoy, May 9, 1877. ‘The French Chamber of Deputies hada tumultuous session yesterday. The excitement began with a ques- tion from a Bonapartist Deputy, who asked Ministor Simon whether ke Intended to revoke or not the dis- missal of a school mistr who had been arrested on the charge of burning one of her pupils and was re- cently tried and acquitted. M. Simon replied that the Judgment of acquittal in the case was subject to appeal to a higher court, and tho order of dismissal would not be revoked. M. Lambert (Bonapartist) alluded toa report that M. Simon had belonged to the International Society, M, Simon protested against tho absurd impu- tation, MM. Lambert and Baudry were called to order for violent interruptions, and the Prosident of the Cham- ber throatoned to suspend tho sitting. M. de Cassagnac called attention to an article pub- Hsbed in tho Sentuneile of Nancy, which calls the Czar atyrant, and ho took occasion to enter into a violent diatribe against the republicans, 4, Simon declared the article in the Sentinelle infamous, and proceeded to repel M. de Cassagnao’s insinuation that the repub- licans were answerable for such utterances, Tho whole House protested against such utterances, ‘M. Martel, Minister of Justice, regretted tho unfor- tunate character of the debate, The articlo was abom- inablo, It was written by a bad citizen, who insulted the sovereign of a great nation with which France de- sired cordial relations, Tho writer bad not been pun- ished because the Rugsian Ambassador had made no complaint, M. Janvier de la Motte (Bonapartist), tnaisted on being informcod whether M8. Simon ever belonged to tne International Society. M. Simon rose and said, “You insult me, La Motte.” Tho uproar in the house was tremendous, M. de la Motte explained away his remarks and M. Simon accepted his apology. A fresh prosecution has been commenced against Le Radical (newspaper) for the publication of articles insulting the government. PRANCK AND GERMANY. A Berlin despatch, dated yesterday, says:—The North German Gazelte states that the Ministor of War will retarnon Thursday from Alsace and Lorraine, when measures corresponding to those adopted by France will be taken to secure, in a military senso, the safoty of the new provinces.’’ Tho fact that President MacMahon sont tho Count do Gontaut Biron to Metz to welcome the Emperor William 18 highly appreciated as an indication of the continuance of the good understanding between France apd Germany.

THE LEGISLATURE MAKING PROVISION FOR PAYING THE INTEREST ON THE STATE DEBT. [BY TELEGRAPH To THE MERALD.) Cuancestox, May 8, 1877. Private and trustworthy advices have been received here that the question of the course to be adopted by the democratic State government in regard to the Stato debs was substantially settied to-mght by the House Committee of Ways and Means after @ protracted consultation with Governor Hampton, Attorney Gonoral Coaner and other leading men, Hitherto there had been a strong disposition, om account of the extreme poverty of tho people, to let the whole matter of the State debt go over until the regular session, next winter; and even those who favored immediate action were gen- erally willing to fund all unpaid coupons up to January, 1878, and to provide ior the regular payment of intorest only* {rom and after that date. But the committeo, owing mainly to the in- fluenco o! Governor Hampton, has decided that the State shall at once snoulder t upon it by carpet-bag misrul plated State tax of $5,000,000 inake provision for the payment in full of the coupons ‘on the State consolidated bonds for January and July of the present year. The Appropriation bill, as Qnally agreed upon to- night, and which will probably ve roported to-morrow, includes the following provision:—“That tho sum of $300,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be, and the same is hereby appropriated, to pay the January avd July, 1877, interest upon the consolidated bonds and certificates of stock of the State, issued under the provisions of the act to voluine of tho public debt; provided, that part thereot shall be applied to the payment of tho interest upon the sald consolidated bonds und certifi- cates of stock until the holders thereo! shall have sub- mitted the same to tho inspection and scrutiny of commission raised for that purpose at the present scs- ston of the General Assembly, and until said com- mission shall have determined the me to be valid and bona side.” ‘Tho figures of the Supply bill, owing to the adoption of the provision in the Appro- priation bili to pay the interest on the public debt, have necessarily been increased, the tax levy for Stato purposes being seven mills instead of tive. The resolu- Uons providing for the organization of the commission to scrutinize the bonds will be presented to the House with the Appropriation and Supply bills. ILLICIT DISTILLERS SHOT.

Continued Preparations to Resist United States Laws. BRIGHAM'S “BLOOD” ADDRESS. “If Sinners Want Fight They Shall Have It.” WHOLESALE ARRESTS THREATE ——_-—_— NED, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Sart Lake, Utah, May 8, 1877. There is no longer any doubt that a dangerous undercurrent of excitement is runaing through all the Mormon cities and settlements in Utah, nor is there any doubt of the cause. The leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, from Brigham Young down to the bishops and their counsellors, have become im- pressed with the belief that punishment is, for the first time, seriously — threat- ened, not only against the instigators and perpetrators of the Mountain Meadow massacre, but also against the authers of hundreds of mur- ders besides, which surpass in atrocity those com- mitted by the assassins of ancient Venice or the Thugs of India. FIGHT THE FEDERAL FORCE: This belief has heen transmitted to the body of Mormon people, whose oaths compel them to avenge the deaths of the martyrs and to obey the counsel of their living priests, Bngham Young himself has become confindent, by reason of long immunity and. the exercise for nearly haif @ century of power, compared with which the despotism of an Abyssinian chief is a timid That he honestly believes the adults among the hundred thousand Mor- mons in the Territory can whip all the men the United States can bring rgainst them. In this connection he is encouraged by the present rumor that the United States army is to be practi- cally reduced to the condition depicted in Nast’s carricature. mockery. CONTINUED DIU ING OF THE NAUVOOS. The members of the famous Nauvoo Legion, which successfully defied Johnson’s army, in 1859, are drilling in meeting houses, barns, stables and cor- rals, in Salt Lake city, and most of the minor towns. Breech-loading rifles have been shipped in great numbers during the last fortnight from the East to this place, and several boxes of arms have gone to Southern Utah from the co-operative store, which {8 lurgely owned and entirely con- trolled by Brigham Young, BRIGUAM TAKS OF BLOOD, In the tabernacle, the day before yesterday, the Prophet arose at an unexpected moment and broke forth in an address to saints and sinners,which gave the latter to understand that if they wanted blood they nave plenty of it, and, indeed that they were likely to have more of it let out of their veins than they could spare at an early period. To face the 100,000 Mormons there are about 15,000 Gentiles in Utah. Salt Lake City has a population of 20,000, of whom, per- haps, 4,000 are Gentiles. The discrepancy is obvious, and having duly observed it, many discreet Gentiles are quietly arranging tor the removal of their families at the first sign of an outbreak, RETRIBUTION IN THE DISTANCE. It is more than likely that the saints who are plotting resistance to the operation of the laws will the worst of it. The Grand Jury at Salt Lake City will meet on the 21st Inst. Subpeenas are issued for a formidable number of witnesses in criminal cases, and arrests of murderers who have had immunity for years are imminent in the mountains and along the borders where could get they have secluded themselves, The sword of justice hangs over the root of many a sispected assassin eminent in the counse!s of the Mormon priest- hood, and it is not unlikely that the doc- trine of blood atonement will be brought be- fore the close of summer home to their own hearts and throats.

The ship's books were then examined, the decks, frearms, cutlasses stores inspected, When this was over the fire dril! was gone through, the alarm being twice sounded, to see with what promptness all were at their pinces at the pumps, boats and elsewhere.

THE CITY OF BRUSSELS, Up tothe time of going to press this morning there ‘was no news of the C:ty of Brussels. During yester- day hittle alarm was manifested at the steamer’s pro- tracted voyage. She has now been out eighteen days, and unless fast in the ice shoald bo beard from cer- tainly within a day or two, ‘The general agent of the line, Mr, John G. Dale, is still confident that nothing has happened more serious than the breaking down of her machinery. New e: gines wero recently put into the steamer, and shi received a thorough overhauling before her last voy- age, The incoming steamers ali report strong easterly winds, and the City of Brussels, under sul, would necessary be delayed considerably by thom. "As it 1s Mr. Dalo insists that there is no cause for serious alarm, A despatch from London received yesterday says that according to the log book of the steamer Wiscousin tho steamer which she reports having passed on the 3d inst. proceeding slowly castward with no lights burning, and wuich was thought to be tho overdue steamer City of Brusseis, was bark-rigged. Tho City of Brussels ts ship-rigged, THE NEW ROCHELLE COACH. Tho residents along the route of the New Rochelle coach greeted its appearance yesterday with hearti+ nese, and in several instances the ringing cheers hada dash of the opening day’s reception, Thirteen mado up the company—Mrs. Newbold, Mr. T. Newbold, Misa Newbold, Miss Strong, Miss Rhinelander, Mr, W. Saip- pen and party and Mr. Walraven and party, Timo” was mado at cach of the points both going out and returning, and though the clouded sky threatened rain the teip was one of the most enjoyable of the season. It is the purpose of Colonel Kane to run tho *Tally= Ho” daily ali through the hot months of July and August, and not as last yeara round trip occupying two days, Ho thinks the patronage will be saflicient, and im the sultry weeks of midsummer the journey cannot fail to be pleasant and health-giving to those who are compolled to pass much of their time between tho hot walls of tho city. Last season Colonel Kano did 4,575 miles on his coach, and this year the total distance that will be run will of course be muck greater, owing to the addition daily of eleven miles, This speaks well for coaching among New Yorkers, and leads those interested in the amasement to bope fora brilliant future. Who knows vut what Colonel Kano’s example may ve followed by some promising amateur whip, and an opposition coach started? He who has tho pluck to do it will be heartily applauded, and none will welcome him with more genuine sin- cerity than the genial proprietor of the “‘Taily-Ho,"” OBITUARY. F.
