The situation of affairs in the Eas critical in the extreme. Only a few ago a settlement of the vexed ques seemed not improbable. If Turkey c be indreed to consent to an armistic was thought a peaceable solution of difficulty would be secured. This pi ing prospect has, however, vanis notwithstanding that Turkey has sented to the Armistice. That po has submitted to the repr sentatives the other Great Powers a theme of form which provides thata legisla body of 150 electedmembers, with a ate of 50 Government nominees sho be created, and that the local affair each Province should be regulated councils of a mixed character, co psis delegates chosen from various comm ties, the system to apply to the wh Turkish empire ; while, regarding armistice, Turkey proposed that it sho extend to: the 15th of March, 1877, condition that Servia should not occu positions now in possession of the Tu ish forces and further, that Ser should, d4iring the armistice disconti the reception of arms, ammunition a foreign volunteers. Of course this p posal entirely ignores . the independe of Servia and :the other insurrection states. It would, indeed, if found to practicable, render unnecessary the dependence of these states, and for t reason would be agreeable to some of Powers, as Austria, who is known to opposed to the formation of another Sol state in immediate proximity to her o Sclav Provinces ; while it would me with the opposition of those already co witted to the scheme of a tier of "auto omous states" out of `Turkish territo on the north. The note in which Tu key submits these proposals is describ as being most conciliatory in tone, su missive, and even humble, being, in fac couched in terms such as could give offence to any other Power. Russi however, has signified, that the propos for a five month's armistice does not a cord with her views, thereby declinin to entertain the proposals made in th Turkish note. Hence anises the emine danger of war. When the time com Russia will throw aside her mask Meanwhile she is making the most vigo ous preparations for war. Residents o Russia temporarily residing in Austri and Germany, liable to perform milita duty have been ordered to return. Th army reserves in her western Provinoe have been called out. Troops are bein massed in the south and southwest in th vicinity of the Austrian and Turkis bor era. The Black Sea squadron is i raid ess to convey 100,000 men fro th" . orthorrf to the western shores of th sea ; and arrangements have been mad to carry the residents of the Russian col- ,' at Constantinople with all safety and despatch to Odessa, in the event o war. Persia, too, at the request of Rus- sia, is sending troops to ! the Turkish frontier, ready to co-operate with those of her ally. At the same time the in- flux of Russian troops into Servia is large- ly on the increase: scarcely a day passing without new arrivals. Coming at first in twos and threes and half -dozens, then by scores, they now arrive in hundreds. It has been reliably estimated that there is now not less than 20,000 Russian vol- unteers within the boundaries of Servia. No fewer than 50 officers, some of them holding high positions in the Russian army, are reported to have arrived in one day at Belgrade, lately. As might be expected, the London press takes very strong ghrouad against t is days tion ould e, it the eae- hed, con- wer of re- tive sen- uld s of by ing uni ole the uld on py rk- via nue nd ro* nce ary be in - his the be av wn et m- n- ry r- ed b - t, , no a, al c- g nt es r f a ry e 9 e h n m e e f stantinople, will go forth the signal for the Mohammedan millions to rise to the rescue. From India, from Arabia, -from Syria, from Asia Minor, and from Egypt will the followers of The Prophet hasten to fight, and to die for their religion. The well-known traditional policy of the Russ is to possess the Bosphoros. ' For that he has fought and intrigued as he is intriguing now, and will fight again with the tenacity and stolid desperationchar- acteristic of his race, and he may have it too. Who will hinder? One now looking on, apparently with a sullen indifference may. Prince Bismark has the power if he has the will to prevent the Black Sea becoming a mere Russian lake, and the Danube a Russian stream. The American Elections. The recent State elections in Ohio and Indiana, are said to have been more hotly contested than any similar elections in either of these States since the termina- tion of the great Ciyil War. Both Demo- crats. and Republicans put forth the en- tire strength of their respective parties. The vote polled in each State is unpre- cedentedly large. The result, although not a drawn battle, is not largely favor- able to either. The' Republican party having (serried their ticket in Ohio by about 8,000 majority have slightly im- proved their position, while in (Indiana the Democrats having beaten the Repub- licans by only about 3,000, have barely held their own. The probability is that in the Presidential election the:Republic- ans will increase their majority in Ohio, and perhaps so far diminish the present Democratic majority in Indiana, as to, necessitate the vote of that State being' cast for Hayes and Wheeler. A very-- noticeable erynoticeable fact in the late contest is, that although the currency question, and the question of financial Reform did at first largely occupy public attention, the elec- tion was mainly decided in each State on the old war issues which were supposed to have been abandoned upon the sur- render of Gen. Lee, and the final collapse of the great Southern Rebellion. It was simply the battle of the Union and the Confederacy fought over again -at the ballot box. The Democratic party be- fore the war was the ally of the South ; during the war it was the active sympa- thizer of the Confederates ; and now it openly allies itself with the "Solid South" party. The State of New York has now become the battle -ground on which will be fought the issues undecided in Ohio and Indiana. Both parties are straining every nerve to carry the stake. Both are equally confident. To both it is a life -and -death struggle, for the loser will fail in the Presidential election. Should the Democrats win the stake and the Southern vote go "solid" for Tilden and Hendricks these candidates are certain to be elected. On the other hand, if the Republicans win, the Democrats have lost, although the South should go "solid." A "solid South" means the entire white vote to be cast for the Democratic candidate, and the vote of the colored people nullified. To secure this end the intimidation of the Blacks is resorted to, for if left to themselves the colored voters almost invariably cast their ballots for the Republican candi- date. Hence more or less all over the South the latter class," the blacks are liable to have their houses and -School- houses burnt, their crops destroyed, their persons aaulted ; and even murders of unoffending peaceful colored people are not untrequent. 'In South Carolina organizations of whites called "rifle clubs" have become so numerous and so defiant, that the Governor of the State has requested the President to forward troops with the view of preserving order, and securing to every voter immunity from molestation in exercise of his suf- frage. Russian policy. The Pal? Mall Gazette believes " it would be mere weakness cin the part of the other Powers - to admit Russia's demands." And further, "that to urge the Porte to accept these demands are not only a hopeless course, but one which no independent Power of Europe can adopt without the loss of self-respect and without the risk of becoming the tool of diplomatic trickery." This is strong and decided language. The Times, too, declares "that if Russia refuses the ar- mistice, or is the means of its refusal, she becomes the enemy of Europe." And again, "if the war is to be continued,and everything points in that direction, it will be as a Russian war in Servia until it becomes something still more." The Sultan with his people would appear to have resolved to face what is inevit- able,alone and single handed,' no better.- True the Turks have deservedly lost their prestige in Europe, and forfeited all sym- pathy from civilized nations, because of their misgovernment, oppression and cru- elty; and their career will sooner or later terminate on the north side of the Bos phoros;but they will not be driven out of Europe ; even by the gigantic Russia, wishout a fierce and terrible struggle. - When the Moaeovite hosts marc'i for Con - News of the Week.

The following is a synopsis of the pre- sentment of the Grand Jury : The Grand Jury of our Sovereign Lady the Queen on their oath, present that in the per- formance of their duty, they inspected the jail, and found that the courteous jailor, Mr. Campaigne, has to all ap- pearance faithfully discharged his duty in keeping the jail clean, and in caring for those committed to his charge. They were pained to find an old man 82 years of age, incarcerated as a vagrant in con- sequence of no other provisions being made, or hospital in connection with the prison for persons in destitute circum- stances. Said old man is greatly en- feebled, both in mina and body, and quite helpless, requiring attention which is not only onerous, but very unpleasant. They, the Grand Jury, consider it a great injustice to the jail authorities that they should be compelled to look after per- sons of this class. They also felt that it was to be regretted that the County Council had not availed themselves of the power, with which the Legislature has mvested them, to provide a comfort- able home for the destitute. -Signal. tiffs uker by- alty for .O, ant. ent: lung in lain - on tiff Q.

GLADSTONE.-Mr. Gladstone, who is on a visit to the Duke of Cleveland, at Raby Castle, Durham, addressed a num- ber of gentlemen, at Sstaindrop, the other day. The hon. gentleman spoke at some length on the attitude of the Liberal par- ty on tfie Eastern Question, and mention- ed the fact that it was then 44 years since he entered public life. A Fame ALARM. -A strange° scene was witnessed on Westminster bridge, Lon- don, Eng., a few days back. Just after dusk a cab was driven rapidly on to the bridge, and suddenlystopped when about half -way across. A person alighted from it, scaled the parapet of the bridge, and plunged into the river. The eq. was soon raised that a man had jump over, and several boats put off to the rescue at Huron Fall Assilzes.

Hyde Sheriff's officer, left Stratford for Kingslon having in charge a prisoner named Robert Shore, who had been sentenced at the last assizes to two years' onment in the Provincial Peniten- tiary at Kingston. All went quietly enough until after leaving Cobourg, when the prisoner, feigning illness, w as allowed to stand on the platform a few minutes. Suddenly, with the quickness of thought, he leaped off the platform ; the train was going at full speed at the time, notwithstanding which Mr. Hyde leaped after him and succeeded in capturing him in a cedar swamp near the track. Pending these exciting events the train had been arrestedsin its motion, and all the officials and some of the passengers were awaiting the result of this life -and - death chase. When the prisoner waa re -embarked after his capture he became an object of considerable attention on the part of the passengers. Ile was finally safely lod.ged in the Penitentiary, and 4vowe,d his intention of coming out a better man. Mr. Hyde also saw Jack Wilson, whose rumored escape had scared not a few people both in Stratford and Mitchell. Wilson protested that he had been blamed for many robberies with which he had nothing to do : he knew the delinquents but he declined to say who they were. He was anxious to know whether anything would be done with him when his present term *was over. Wilson was working steadily in the carpenter's shop: Mr. Hyde also saw Pole, of Mitchell, and he looked • well. Pole was a sort of handy man workinir around the place, but at no trade. The Toronto abortionist, Davis, was found stitchin:g clothes, at which business he appeared to be & very awk ward hand. His wife was running a sewing machine.

The circumstances of the case, which is a most disgraceful one to the guilty par- ties are as follows : In the vicinity of LoComotive street there dwelt, in a dou- ble front house, two families, named re- spectively Burke and Knudson. In each family there were four children ; Burke, the head of one, was a brakeman on the Great Western Railway ; and Knudson, the head of the other, was a boat builder. The two families appeared to live in peace and harmony, their children play- ing with each other, and their mothers; constantly gossiping together. Burke was more frequently away from home on duty than Knudson, and a criminal at- tachment sprung up betweenAKnudson and Mrs. Burke, though apparently un- suspected sifter by Burke or Mrs. Knudson. The result was tha Knud- son eloped with Mrs. Burke laa Satur- day, Mrs. Burke taking with her two of her children, $200,of Burke's hard earn ings, and the 'beat of the furniture. They went off in a yacht which Knudson had built for a club in Collingwood. at the expense of the club. They have not been heard of since.- Knudson's wife is left destitute, with four children on her hands, while Burke is left with two, the other two, as before stated, having been taken away by their guilty and heartless mother. At the time the elopement took place, Burke was on his regular trip to Brantford. 1 A tion Sales. onday, Oct. 23, Lot 9, Con. 5, Stan- ley, Farm Stock and implements. J. T.
