It is said now that Prince Bis- Murk wants to niarry King Al-J o'clock |>tiouo, of Spiiin, to tho Princess . Victoria, of Hesse, a granddaughter 1 of Queen Victoria, who is in her fifteenth-year, and- wi 11 grown and "advanced in learning for ber aj-n. An American contemporary, alluding to th*- great riot ut 1'itta- rlurg. Pa., sayi that " tho loss by tbe destruction of property on that fatal Sabbath 'day ' hen tho mob held . carnival in the city, -will not fall Ix-low $5i000,-00tl,- and may "reach $$.000,000. "The city hud u debt of $10,000,000 before this ad ditional burden \ras placed upon it, and hud defaulted in* the payment of its bonded interest, last, April. The tux'levy wilLnow.lie increased from; $6,000,000 to $12,000,000, and for 20'yejipi tho people of. that city will bav'e to pay for one day's ex;>erieucc with a niob. Way up to 1000 the workingni'an -will feel this new tweight put upon his shoulders." .Tbe property holders of the unfortunate city have con- ' sequently a very gloomy futuie to contemplate. Lord DufTerin, whila at St. . Paul, made one of hisoisual buppy ivplies to the address of welcome "presented by Governor.Davia. "Al luding to the people of Both conn- tries he said : " The two people are .' engaged in pushing the civilization of the past centuries across tbosri - vast tracts of land which are still but sparsely inhabited,' but I trat are destined to become tbe home of prosperous millions before the cen tury is finished. Of that army of civilization Canada is, as it were, the right wing. ^Ve' feel towards yon, there/ore, gentlemen, aa one- half of a regiment may feel towards 1 the other half, knowing well that npon your side yeur are faithfully discharging your duties, and are ' alike trampling down tho physical i impediments offered to your pro- J gresa, as we, upon onr Bide, are en- / - leHvoringTto advance ta luaerof civilization into the heart of the "West, and so friendly is the feeling' tbat 1 assure you, should it ever happen that your own rich terri tories come to be furnished forth to > mora complete degree than it is capable of sustaining, there arej in ur north-west vast tracts of coun try where, if yon choose to assist us - ia settling- them, you will find a hearty welcome and) I trust, insti tutions n'nder which you will be able to live aa eontentedly as under those where/on bare now the hap piness^ of residing.

TO* learn froni an undoubted aoarc* that the Socialists, Inter nationals, and Turners, of the Western States, are rapidlr per fecting; an organization that is ex pected to gift? tbeco a preponder ance ia that region never dreamed I of by tbe founders. It ai>peara that recently several changes have been adopted by their societies whereby a common platform bus ben agreed, to which all members can subscribe. For instance*, tbe 1 Internationalists have '* idivided taemselves into two sectionBTlone / political (he other social. Thelsoc- ial section is built of plajnka taken from crery conceivabfe kind of Liberai or advanced Kudifcal associ ation, the whele comprising a plat form broad and comprehenaive enough for every Free Thinker, Communist, Iuternationalis t, So cialist' and Atheist, in the United States to stand upon. In Milwuu- . kee and Chicago, especially, borne of these societies comprise the namps of wealthy aid deservedly- respected citizens.- A movement is now on foot looking toward a federation of .the Socialists, Inter nationalists and Turners upon one" -jomtaoaj platform ; *nd j'ldjjing from recent action we should say i*. is itiite likely to succeed.

On Satur day afternoon Fred Sturdy, Louise Sturdy, and Win Lowes, charged with abduction and aiding and abetting the abduction, wvru again bronght from the couuty gaol to th Police Court on the remand from Thursday in' ordar that tbe witnesses for tho Crowii might Ut examined to ahow that the boy | Joseph Sturdy, wan I implicated. Tlie Kppenriintv of tUe tauiily is not changed, and their whole demean- 'our in Court testified that they had no idea of the possibilities of their bituation.

John Gow, 6on of Sheriff Gow, sworn, said X)n the night of Thursday, July 20th, 1 went to the - prisoner titurdy'a house ; I went there for tho purposo of ecu- ing whether Miss C'arr was there, and to see who brought the note purporting to have been sent from Alias Carr to my mother about fif teen minutes before; I saw the prisoner Joseph Sturdy there about 11:30 ; I asked him if any of their folks brought the letter to Airs. Gow ; be said he waa not sure ; he called his brother Frederick, who said in tho prisousr'i preaenca that he brought tbe note; be said in iu answer to a question that he got the note on the table; I asked him who told him to take the note over, but he would not say; he said ho was sent over with it; I then ask ed Joseph where Miss Carr was; he replied that he had not seen.her that, night; I asked him then where his father was, and he said that his father waa in bed sleeping ; I said that I did not believe his father was. in the house, and he said I might search the house if I liked; from the manner iu which his statement waa made I accepted it aa true; another daughter of Sturdy s said-ahe would make me piove my words; I saw the pris oner'Sturdy the night before be tween seven and eight o'clock cros sing the bridge at the mill; 1 re mained there some ten minutes when he came up to me, apparent ly'to see who I was; I saw a cab come along shortly after this, bar ing on the box Lowes and Pearson ; I Spoke to Pearson. To Mr. Dunbar I announced when I reached the house of Sturdy on the night, in qneation that I was eding to search the bouse for Miss Carr, as I had a search, warrant; after they told rae'se boldly that their father' waa in bed I did not search the house ; it waa after they said Miss Carr waa not there that I to'.d them of the search -warrant. Prances Hamilton, of Hamilton, sworn, said I remember July 16th lost ; the prisoner, F. Sturdy and his son Joseph came to my house on that day ; the son came to the dppr; he asked if I .bad a house to rent; I aaid yea, that I had No. .75 Locomotive-street; tbe boy. asked if he could see tbe house ; they saw tbe houre, and on returning asked the rent ; I. said 8f7 prr month ; he asked if that Locomotive-btreet on the 31t July; I found th' articles of furniture mentioned by tbe previous witness; I found two bottles, one containing some wine, vand the other empty; f', port wine," and the other "old wine"; 1 took charge of some of the bed clothes, and have them now in custody. To Mr. Dunbar I did not ask the boy which way the carriage went; I asked Mm the destination of tbe carriage, and the boy said he did not know the boy said he did not know who was in the cab, aa he held the horses' heads when they were" transferring from one carriige to the other. Frances Hamilton, recalled, said -The prisoner Fred Sturdy told me be wanted the bouse ' for his son-in-law, who was a traveller. After the addresses of County Crown Attorney Peterson for the Crown, and Mr. Dunbar for tbe defence, the Magistrate read the whole of the evidence to tbe prisoners, and committed them to stand their trial at the next court of competent jurisdiction. , YUal Statistic*. The Medical .Council of Ontario at its last session resolved to peti tion Parliament for some amend ments to the " Act for the Regis- " tration of Births, Marriages and " Deatha."

Statistics, of this kind are, of course, perfect ly valueless; and if no improve ment can be made, the present law might as well be repealed. Money would be saved to the Province, and we woujd not feel that our tatute-boott was encumbered by an ineffective lawr~ We should hope, however, that the combined wisdom of the Minis try, the Parliament and the Medi cal Council would prove effectual in devising a perfect law "which could be properly enforced: Tbe result of an experiment of some eight yeara' duration showing nothing but failure, it is no matter of surprise that there should be found those who advocate repeal of the law entirely; and, unless an improvement is speedily effected, we shall come to the same conclus ion. Statistics, far more complete, could be collected by the assessors of the various municipalities as they make their yearly rounds, and it could be done with little if any expense.

On July 31, the day of the Russian evacuation of fcski Zaghia, the Turks ordered all CliristiaiiH, men, women, and children, to be shot as they left their houses.' Those who remained within were burnt alive. Tho or der was given to burn down and destroy every particle oi Christian property in the place. Many lead;) iug Turkish merchants took part|in the affair. One desjuitched a large number of Bashi-Bazouks all over theTchirpan district. This district ia one of the richest in that part of Turkey. It contains a very large proportion of Christians. Over thirty churches, fifty schools and colleges were all burnt.' The des truction extended to the villages of Boghdan, Mahlesi, Rani, Mahnle- si and many others, iu all about sixty, containing 150.to 200 fam ilies each. Scarcely fifty persons esca|>ed slive. The Bulgarian fugitives at Gabrova and Selvi esti mated that 12,000 to 15,000 Christians were massacred, in Eski Saghra and Tchirpan district alone The soldiers were posted along the road from Eski Saghra to Kuranlik with orders to shoot everybody passing. .RUSSIAN ATROCITIES. The Turks say the Russians fired oh a white flag near Kara on J.ily 15th, the party desiring to succour the wounded. The Governor cf Tirnova gays tbe Russians burned a mosque wherein the inhabitants of Son K.onloti, who surrendered to the Russian;, were massacred with axes by the Bulgarians, and three more by Cossacks.

That unfortunate Canadian yacht, the Counters of Dufferin, which was launched at Cobourg with such great expectations, and turned but a very small affair after all, has been going through a series of financial adventures. It went to New York with the nvowed object of conquering the American yachts one and all; but unfortunately, it was both' conquered and captured itself,^and has never been able to get back to its native -waters. It evidently had loo heavy a load of debt to sail well. A $1,500 share owned by Mr. A. Cnth'bert was sold the other day for $7.50; and the yacht now lies in the dry dock in Now York. It is at present in the custody of the New York authori- ' ties under a claim of 'Mr. Benjamin Wilson for a balance of 4M 60 due for sails. The lug forsail of the yacht, valued at $200, was left be hind at Stapleton, where there are no less than five olaiments for it oh account of debts, some of them for sheriff's and counsel fees and some for storage. Mr. Williamson says hia claim' against the vessel is $350, of which $295n is for borrowed money furnished to Mr. Cuthbert., Mr. Williamson further !saya that he is a British-subject, and if the money is <not'forthcoming he will go to Canada and commence a civil action' against the owners' for the atribiint;';'-':7-"- ::.
