FOREIGN. The Stock Exchange Somewhat Steadier The War Cloud Still Threatening. LosDos, Oct 19. The cabinet sum moned on Tuesday to meet to-day, moved that Parliament be con vened, in consequence of the grave aspect ol the Eastern question. The advertiser says : Lord Napier of Magdala, is ordered to hold himself in readiness to take command of the army. Russia has 21 iron clads, carry ing two to twenty-six guns each. The Times says : It is stated that orders have been given by the war of fice to the commander in chief, to hold three army corps in readiness for immediate despatch to the Mediter ranean, also that plans for the defence of Constantinople, prepared by the Royal enquirer have been forwarded to the Admiral commanding the British fleet in Besika Bay. The Stock Exchange this morning opened freer from the panicky feeling than yesterday, and most Btocks were slightly firmer. Consols were held at last night's closing prices; Russians Egyptians were about 1, and Turkish fractionally higher, but Hungarians were one per cent lower. The absence of definite news merely checks the sales. 1 here are no indications of the recovery of confidence. A Reuter Constantinople dispatch, announces that Gen Ignatieff, the Rus sian Ambassador to Turkey who had been on a leae of absence, returned to that city last night. Vienna, Oct 19. The newspapers here publish intelligence from Athens announcing that the Greek Govern ment will submit to the chamber of Deputies' proposals for calling out 60.000 men, and demanding a credits of fifty millions drachms and authori ty to contract a loan of 10,00C,000 drachms. London, Oct 19. The Indian Troop ship Jumna, left Portsmouth yesterday for India, with 934 artillery men, and upwards of seventy officers, surgeons. &c. She will embark another battery of artillery at Plymouth. The depart ure of troops from Woolwich for Portsmouth, was witnessed by vast crowds, and the exciteir.ent displayed, was the greatest since the Crimean war. The Times announces that the Jumna has been directed to Gibraltar and Malta, for orders, in case circum stances should necessitate a change in the destination of the troops. This morning's Financier says : A war risk of five shillings per cent, was required yesterday by the Lloyds, and various insurance companies on Brit ish vessels trading between England, Australia and the East. A business is yet reported in risks on Russian, Aus trian and Italian vessels, but the rates on these would r f course be higher. NEW YORK.

The awards of the Southern Ciaims Commission still await his signature. The Alabama Claims Commission resumed sessions. There is considerable feeling here among colored masons, over the post, ponement of the recognition of their brethren in that State by the Grand Lodge of Ohio. The official majority for Barnes in Ohio is reported from Cincinnati 6,092. The press agent at Columbus however reports four counties not heard from. FOREIGN. The Designs of the Great Powers not Understood. Vienna, Oct 19. Tagablott says Sr- via and Montenegro have resolved to accept no armistice. London, Oct 19 It is impossible to draw conclusions the mass of conflict ing telegrams about the intentions of Russia and the position of other pow- era. lne correspondents wuo are usu ally best informed are at fault now, and any assertion of pretended facts which may find their way to the Unit ed States should be regarded with great caution. Eyery capital in Europe is telegraphing to every other capital the inquiry, "Is it peace or war ?" and nobody who will, is able to an swer the question. SOUTH CAROLINA. More Whites Murdered in Cold Blood by Chamberlain's Armed Black Assassins. Columbia, Oct 19. Six whites re turning home from a Democratic mass meeting in Edgefield county, near dark last evening, were fired into by colored men in ambush. One was killed instantly, another severely wounded.

His leg was shattered and horse wounded. The meeting had been quiet and orderly. KEY WEST. Disaster on the Water. Key West, Oct 19. A hurricane since last night. The crew of steam tug Gadfrey Kubu, Philadelphia to Galveston, before reported as here, re fused to leave the vessel last night. It is feared all are drowned.

The grand jury found a true bill against Weeden, Sam Callyer, John Clark, Richard Goodwin and Fiddler Neer. Men concerned in killing Walker in a prize ring. It is a good deal more comlortable weather for any young couple who OTmf oif In tho aama mrlr inc-r.Viair. Wt&UV WV OLV Aiv vuv. icw.uv - -" 1 at the same time, than it was last Aug- USUI IVNV wviivm A warmer ladv in Boston refused to attend church because, her new hat Had not hp.en sent home. "I . hate the devil and all his works," she said ; "but I hate an old-fashioned bonnet more," Buss I weed's Adventures. It is stated that H unt, Tweed's companion saifed with the latter on the Franklin for N York. Both will beurrenderedon arrival of the vessel at quarantine. Tweed's escape from Cuba was under the; most painful circumstances to him. The United States consul at Havana, onl discovering bis presence in that city, reported the fact by telegraph to Secretary Fish at Washington. The Secretary directed the consul to at once secure Tweed. The latter obtain ed information of these orders, and es caped to Santiago de Cuba, but tlie pursuit here becoming very warm, he was forced to go aboard the Carmeu, a Vessel about to sail for Spain. It has been supposed heretofore that Tweed sailed as a passenger, but information at Vigo states that he went aboard the ship as landsman, and was compelled to serve as a deck hand, and, barefoot ed and barearmed, forced, with squil'gee and swab, to wasli down toe decks. In this disguise he was discovered and taken into custody in Vigo bay. This harsh experience, it is added, did not seem to have in any way discouraged Tweed or impaired his health. When he was placed on board the Franklin he was given the most commodious and elegant quarters on board the ship. Brides at the Centennial Show, Of all the people who live at the cen tennial hotels, I think the newly mar ried coupleB Philadelphia is full of them, by the way are the only ones who are thoroughly eontented and hap py. It makes no difference to th'em whether the potatoes are watery, the meats dry, or the soup thin; and they don't care a pin whether people talk to them or not. They live in a little world uf their own,and have no thought but for each ether. They all try to act as though being married was an old story to them, and still for the life of them they can't help taking each oth er's hand every five minutes. The brides nearly all wear new watch chains. N. Y. Time. Mr Joaquin Miller tel!s a curious California story, which recalls that of the cattle in liarte's "Gabriel Conroy." Hedesciibes an emigrant train passing over the prairie aud meeting a herd of buffalo at full speed and moved by one of the apparently insane impulses which sometimes seize these animals. In an instant the immense herd had passed there was no wagon, there were no men, oxen, horses left; even their bodies were obliterated. The one survivor was a woman, who was carried out of the horrible struggle on the back of one of the herd how, she never knew ; her first consciousness was that she stood safety upon a little hillock and the whirlwind had gone bv. An Example for Election Judges. The Indianapolis Sentinel states that the Hon. Jas. B Ryan, the. democratic judge in the fourth ward of that city, at the recent election, stood two nights and three days without a moment's sleep or rest, nursing the ballot-box that no fraud should be perpetrated if he could prevent it. Mr Ryan, who is past mid dle age, had been canvassing the State for weeks, had hardly slept one whole night during that time, and only arriv ed at home early on the morning of the election. Twenty-nine thousand dollars have been received from a Virginia City, (Nev.,) gambling saloon in one year in the way of license. The money is col lected monthly, and gambling is not restricted at all. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Cotton ! Cotton ! !
