Lord Granville's letter demanded that a reply should be received at London not later than next Monday. This was hailed by the press as a very significant growl of tile British lion, and the opinion was freely expressed that the Russian bear would speedily be brought to terms. 11 de Qiers now replies that he has read the communication of his lordship Earl Granville with great attention and respect; that it contains valuable suggestions as to the preservation of peace between the two coontries, which will be most carefully weighed by Russia and that a reply to such an admirable letter cannot be made hastily, but he promisee that a formal reply shall be delivered at London not later than next Tuesday, unless unforeseen emergencies should arise.

At noon word was received at the general office of the miners that the Birmingham Coal Co., better known as Keeling's works, and employing about 350 men, had started to run coal to the river. The three cent rate had been conceded some time ago, but only local trade was served, and this move is regarded by the miners as the first victory for the strikers fn the lower pools. Secretary Flannery, in estimating the cost of the river strike, says tjie fourth pool men alone have lout $57,600 to wage* during the past three weeks. This amounts, he holds, can be recovered in a little over two months by steady work at the price demanded. In the meantime Pittsburg operators are buying Kanawha coal mined at rates equal to three cents and selling it at prices which would warrant the payment of six cents per bushel for mining.

Plenty of men can be had and the equipments can be found or manufactured, bnt putting a man on top of a horse does not make him a cavalryman, and all tho uniforms that oould be piled upon the average British militinman would never cause him to be mistaken for a soldier by the most nearsighted Cossack. rf Lowest Cluing ,puy thing.

Tlio lialtlmore Oyster Trade. Baltimore, March 88.—The oyster packers of Baltimore are highly excited over an order issued by the board of public works extending the oyster dredging season 10 days beyond tho limit fixed by the legislature. The board was induced to grant the extension by the representation that the unusually severe winter had prevented the tongmen from doing their usual amount of work, and that many of them were in an impoverished condition. The packers deny that there is any poverty among the tongmen, as oysters have brought exorbitant prices all w.nter, and say that dredging so late in the season destroys millions of seed oysters, and will have a disastrous effect on coming seasons. They further question the right of the board to vitiate an act of the legislature, and will fight the order. Packers havo lost money this year because of the high prices they have been forced to pay, and the active competition which has prevented their realizing much profit, and thdy are looking to the future of the packing industry, which is now the largest in Baltimore. Attorney General Roberts has been asked to give a decision as to the legality ol tho action of the board, and an interesting fight may be the result. a I This medicine, oombtnln* iron with pun vegetable tonics, quickly And oompleMr ■nil Nearalata. an untitling remedy for Diseases (*?■ It TS*?n*aluable tor Dtseuscs peculiar itr Women, and all who lead sedentary Uvea. 11 does not Injure the teeth, cause headache."' produce constipation—oMn- Iron medicine* do.

P., was taken up in the court of queen's bench, before Presiding Justice Ramsay. The case is (he first of the kind tried in our courts, the charge being embracery. It is alleged that at the last term of the suporior court the defendant approached members of the grand jury and endeavored to prevent by corruption the return of an indictment against T. Tasse, editor of Le Monde, for criminal libel then pending. After the case for the queen had been put in the court instructed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty, which they did. A Member of Parliament Acquitted. W*w York, March 2a—Paul Cherbord brought rait in the Kings county ooart against Emil Kloessig, a German journalist, asking $10,000 for libel. The plaintiff charges that the defendant wrote a communication to The Illinois Btaats-Zeitung and The Berlin Boner Courier, alleging that he (Cherbord) was a member of the organisation of the Blade Hand; that he planned the Anarchist plots which were carried out in Germany and Austria; that he sent infernal to William H. Vanderbilt, Cyrus W. Field and* Police Superintendent Walliag; had committed arson in order to swindle insurance companies; had passed bonds that had been stolen from Banker Eisert when he was murdered in Vienna, and was implicated in the attempted destruction of the Andre monument The defense was a Justification of the libel, and the jury after hearing the evidence returned a verdict for the defendant The prospects of war with India destroyed all interest in last night's debate in the he**1 of commons on the Egyptian financial convention. The house was sliinly attended, and everything was as dull as ditch water until a lively divertissement was caused by the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, prcsi dent of the chamber of commerce and Badi cal member for Birmingham. Mr. Chamberlain la not a pleasing speaker, but he is generally piquant and sometimes surprising. He astonished everybody, including himself, it is said, by advocating war. The Radicals, of whom Mr. Chamberlain is the most conspicuous representative in the cabinet, have for years advocated peace at any price. They have steadily opposed bloodshed in Egypt, in the Transvaal, in West Africa, and whereever there has been a chance of conflict. Their opposition has mora than once blocked the progress of nice little war grants, which would have benefited trade, during the sessions of the present house at commons. Yet Mr. Chamberlain pronounced for war against Russia with a degree of vigor and eloquence that would not have disgraced Patrick Henry He expressed the idea that Russia had been looking around for a whipping for many years, and that England was the power, and now the time, to administer it He savagely denounced the Tories for their lukewarmness and declared that they bad shown themselves ready to sacrifice their country for party green. The readingof the despatch caused intense excitement. Detachments of A and B batteries, of Kingston and Quebec; the Queen's Own and Tenth Royals, of Toronto, and the Infantry school, under comnand of Col. Otter, have received marching orders and trill proceed via the Canadian Pacific railroad to the northwest without delay. An Oil Panic Narrowly Averted* Titusville, Pa., March 2a—Thomas A..

Logan, of Philadelphia, and hod orders from Logan to draw with certificates attached on Now York. Kane made a draft for $15,000, but as arrangements were not made for paying the draft the clearing house refused to pass Kane's sheet through. A meeting of the exchange was called, n committee of five were appointed, who found buyers for the oil. Had this amount of oil been thrown on the market a panic would have ensued.
