Negotiations have ‘been proceeding for some time with a view to avert war, but unsuccossfully so far. Turkey appears to be disposed only to part with the Island of Crete, and Greece inâ€" sists upon getting the rich and classic proâ€" vince of Thessaly. Meanwhile, the Earoâ€" pean Powers content themselves with tenâ€" dering adviceâ€"their efforts being someâ€" what neutralized by the indifferent attitude of Gerthany and Austria, and the accession of the new Crar, whose proclivities in the direction of war are well known. The conclusion of the matter is difficult to foreâ€" see. Greece is small, very thinly populated and poor, but rich in historie nmemories of noble deeds, united, and possossing all the anergy and vigour of youth, while Turkey is torn by internal dissensions, penniless, effete and corrupt to the last degree.

Our experience of the Dunkin Act‘ here does not incline us to take 2 vare i The question now remains, what will the Commons do with it? At this Inte hour of the session we think there can be little doubt that it will not become law. A few determined opponents, if it is reached atall, can prevent its being passed unless the House consents to prolong the session to a much greater length than they are likely to do. Whatever arguments might be adduceâ€" ed in favor of such an amendment to the Sceott Act where it may be introduced in future, we need not stop to discuss; for | when Senator Almon moved an amend> mont, to exempt the salo of Ales, porters, Lager Beer, Cider and Light Wines from the operation of the Act. Aftera warm deâ€" bate this was carried by 28 to 26â€"oue mertmber of the Government, Sir Alexander Campbell yoting for it, and another, Mr., Aking, voting agninst it, while Conservaâ€" tives and Reformers wont promiscuously on either side. Finding his bill weighted with a clause so subversive of his intent, Mr. Vidal moved the three monthes hoist, which was lost. Every stago of the bill was then fought, five divisions being taken m all, but the clause retained on each by a small majority, and the bill finully passed by the Senate in that shape. Rospery ar The proccedings of the Senate seldom reâ€" ceive much attention from the general pubâ€" lisâ€"indeed, so unimportint are they conâ€" sidered that it is rarcly any reports of the debate find their way into the daily papers ; aud itis only once in a while the Senators manage to attract attention to themselves by some ungxpected move on their part. One of these vecasions was on Wednesday last, the course tiken on the Canadian Temperance Act then having raised a storm in the temperance cirele throughout the Doâ€" mivion. As our readers are aware, the Canada Temperance Act, better known as the Soott Act, was passed in 1878, and since that time Parliment has been continually tinkering atit. In 1879 a short Act was ’pused to explain it. In 1880 Mr. Boultbee brought in a bill to amend it, which passed the Commons but was thrown out in the Semate, und thisfsession when he brought in his bill again,the Commons did not wait for the Senate to kill it, but threw it out themselves. In the Senate, however, the Hon. Mr. Vidal, who is one of the most zealous advocates of the measure, introâ€" duced a bill simply to explain a portion of the Act, and make some unimportant amendâ€" ments. All went well till Wednesday last, wad the third reading was about to be taken, ; On Thursday, of last woek, Chief Conâ€" , | stable Edgerton had before the Police Magâ€" , | istrate a little colored child, aged 2 years _ | and four months, charged with vagrancy. ; | It was "sont up for one montly at hard ; | labort" ‘The eircumstances of the case , | are very compficated, but appear to be as , | follows :â€"The mother of the child, whose , |name is Chookee, has been living with a , | man named Morgan, alias Davie,in an isoâ€" ; | lated hut on the 10th concession of Sydâ€" enham. She had given tirth to a child a \| few days previous, and the man she was i living with had gone off and left her destiâ€" tute, with not even a stick of wood tomake : a fire. _ In this condition she determined | to walk to town, a distance of about four : muiles, to seek mssistance. This she did, | teking the infant with her and leaving the |two year old child behivd in the hbut. In the monutime, the Chief Constable had reâ€" ceived a telegram authorizing him to arrest Morgan on a charge of being an escaped convict, he being one of three prisoners who escaped from the Central Prison about nine months ago. The Constable, in com pany with two other gentlemen, drove out on Wednesday evening to where the couple had been living, for the purpose of arrestâ€" ing Morgan, but only succeeded in finding the child, which the mother had left the day before, its only compeny being a host of rats, who disappeared â€"on their entrance. The child had a severe cut on its foot, and a nasty bruise on its herd, which cannot be accounted for. ‘They brought the child to town, and took it to the residence of a colored man named Brown. Here they found the man they were looking for, also the mother of the child. Morgan was arâ€"| rested and forwarded to Torouto the next | day, The child and its mother (the mother, |! by the way, hs beon in jail seven times on | previous occasions, and the child in quosâ€"|! tion was born there) were taken bétore the |!
