ENGLAND'S POSITION.
The news from England, relative to
the part she may play in a gigantic
and bloody stiuggle in the East is at
present of more importance than the
most thrilling telegrams from the actual
scene of conflict. Thousands of lives
and millions of treasure hang uron a
few words. The advance of the "hes-
shoo into the Southern part of Turkey
and the occupation of Constantinople
loom up like some hideous nightmare
before the mind. The kno' ledge that
'when Constantinople falls and the Rus-
sian eagles float triumphant in the
breeze from its ancient walla, then com-
mences the downward path of Britain,
fills every, lnyal heart with intense anx-
iety and dreeu forebodings. The Rus-
sians, with characteristic treachery and
falsity. backed by Germany, seem de-
termined to make every thing possible
out of their successes thus far, and de-
clare their iutentien of marching to
Constantinople. Bat in this it is olto-
gether probable that they are counting
their chickens before they are belched.
If the British nation and the British
.Governmeut are tree to the glorious
traditions of their country, they will
spill the last drop of British blood and
arena the last cent in the Empire be-
fore Russian aggression will be allowed
to go so far. indeed, it is probable that
had Lord Beaconsfield, the worthy sue-
oessor of Pito, had his own way, the
EIowever, the spirit which lived in
England centuries ago, and which
made her the arbiter of the world, is
not yet dead. ,It leas only lain dor-
mant until some greats crisis calls it
into action, Rud once the tide of popu-
lar feeling sets in in favor of war, there
a no telling when it will turn. Even
the Good Queen, the Sainted Victoria,
is said to favor; putting a cheek on the
encroachments of the Buss.aus before
they become too Wong to be resisted.
The latest news points strongly to the
probability that England will declare
war in a few days, hurried to take this.

Thia is the last session of the present
Parliament, anti if the people continue
iu the same mind the next Parliament
will witness the return of Sir John A.
Macdonald to power, and with hie : as-
eunlption of the reins, a return
to the prosperous times which this
country enjoyed without interrup.ton
during the twenty years that Sir Jahn
guided the destinies of Canada.
Tun Earl of Duuraven, one of the
leading membera of the British Libor -
al Patty, at present on a visit to New
York, has written a letter to the Tli,rhl
of that city, in which he severely criti-
cizes the policy of Gladstone and,
Bright on the Eastern question, and
declares that if persisted in it will
cause a largo defection in the ranks of
the party. He is strongly, in favor at
nee of armed ii tervention to protest
British interests, and in graphic lang-
uage pictures the decline of England
and the position she would have to
take es a third-class nation if she ceas-
ed to make her voice heard and her in-
fluence felt in the councils of Europe.
Ore or two of our Reform cotempor-
aries have been making themselves ap-
peer extremely ridiculous in talking of
the amnesty granted to Professor O'-
Donoghue. In attempting to prove
that the Conservative party are cap'
tious in criticising the Government,
they have to resort to the assertion
that the Government of Sir John
Macdonald refused amnesty to O'Don-
oghue, a statement ehich will be seen
at a glance is utterly at variancewith
the truth. The utter nonsenbe of such
talk is shown by the fact that an am-
nesty was never applied for to the
Government of Sir John Macdonald.
IT is not a very edifying spectacle to
witness a member of a Government be-
ing compelled to resign his seat be-
canie he had violated his oath and
taken contracts under the -Government.
This is the ease with Alfred Jones, M.
