I Russia seems disnosed fcftrlv on the noesibilitv of enffairinl the Portein direct negQUationa.", ; f The Tinted Vix correspondent says: fho Pr.rfa in Airtuyi nowntiftfinna J ' 1 -I placed on the mission and so taken by England, caused some anxiety y ester day, lest she should be drawn ' into war. Happily it is Known to-night that England simply accepted the misr sion of sounding Russia as to whether she would accept the pacific overture to be made by Turkey." The Daily Jiews' Bucharest corres pondent states ' that intelligence has been received there that the bridge at Petrocbeni. the last one which lemain- ed across the Danube, has been carried away. A. lew boats occasionally cross but the passage is hazardous. - Several persons have already been drowned. -A Bpeciai to" the Daily Newa iirom Piymouth, reports that the whole chan nel fleet and all commissioned 'ships under repair have been ordered to be ready for sea by January 16th. The New? dispatch from Alderness says the 90th regiment has been order ed to be in readiness .for immediate embarkation for Cape Town. A special to the Times, dated Cape Town, Decem ber 11th, says: "Sir Bartle Freere told the deputation that he considered the situation on the Ca,ttre frontier ex tremely dangerous, and that he had written home for troops. Every avail able soldier and the sailors from the man-of war, Active, left Cape Town )r the Caffre frontier on the 10th iost." The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian telegraphs that journal regarding the government's policy, as follows : "lhere is no idea of the acquisition of Egypt, which would be an abandonment of the poli cy opposing the partition of Turkey. It is believed that should Russia reject mediation, Lord Beaconefield is pre pared to appeal to the country on the question of declaring war for the de fence of British interests." Londok, Dec 31. The Times' Bucha rest dispatch says the bridges crossing the Danube at Simnitza were taken up to prevent their destruction. It is hoped that the bridge at Petrochani, just reported as having been carried away can be repaired, is me hundred horses perished in the vicinity of Sis tova during the storm. The total loss of draught animals must be numbered by thousands. The details are lowly coming in concerning the suffering Turkish prisoners from Plevna on then- way to Roumania. The prisoners were unaccompanied by any vehicle for the our nose of picking up those who fell by the wayside. These were left by the guard to freeze, as they had no means of carrying them, and in this manner mere nas Deen an increase me . 1 1 ? . aL number of victims. The absence of wagons was uui uue iu uouucimo uuer tv. but thoughtlessness, which so fre quently subjects Russian soldiers to un timely suffering. I learn through the Roumanian officers who came from Nikopolis to Plevna after the passage of these prisoners, that tney drove against a number of dead bodies in the snow. No provision was made in Bulgarian villages for the susten ance of the captives, but when the Pan ube was passed, supplies were provid ed." St Petersburg, Dec 81 The request of the Britis,' government for lnforma tion whether Russia is disposed to en' ter Deace negotiations at the desire of the Porte, has been received- If statements have been published abroad respecting the Russian answer and the conditions which she would propose for settlement, such intelligence must be Dremature and inaccurate. Noth- inff whatever has been determined up on, though in well informed circles it is assumed that Russia will make no harsh reply to the steps taken with the obiect of paving the way for peace, but will show herself accessible to any earnest endeavors for the restoration. of peace. Rome. Dec 31. In compliance with a summons by telegraph, Midhat Pasha has started for London. lhe journey is said to be connected with England's acceDtance of the Porte's request for mediation.

New York, have made an assignment to B W Griswold. It is said that the firm has pursued the same methods as Netter & Co in the hypothecation of securities, lhe liabilities are said to be quite heavy, and several prominent speculators are mentioned as being considerable losers. The intelligence of the failure has had a depressing ef fect on the stock market, and some of the leading shares are down to one per cent. It appears that on Sunday A L Sewall, one of the firm of Bonner & Cc, applied to nis counsel tor advice and announced the failure of the firm and the flight of the senior member, John Bonner, who had letifor Uanada. Upon his advice an assignment was tuade to r$ W uriawold, who is now engaged in straightening the affairs of the firm, and who will make a report thereon as soon as possible. The amount of secu rities re hypothecated, stated.. $400,000. All is said to have been lost in specula tion, .Bonner having taken nothing with him in his flight. A large number of individuals and firms are sufferers by the failure, including Henry Clews and Vanstack fc Co. About' 7.500 shares of stock were sold out under the rule to "day by parties having transac tions with Bonner fc Co, including the following : 22,000 ; Deleware and Lackawana, 600 Western Union, 2,000 Lake Shore, 300 Nort hwest (common), 30 Northwest (preferred), 500 New York Central, 1,200 St Paul (preferred), 100 St Paul (common); 300 Michigan Central, 100 .Panama and 100 Pacific mail. The Post says t Bonner bought all the stock the Backers' and Bro- ,kera Association offered, compelled tne manager to pay for it out of the funds of the association and then took the stock and borrowed on it. He bid 85 cts for the stock on Saturday, and borrow ed $25,000 on $100,000 of it. The asso ciation is understood to have been gutted." In this way he lent!$70,000 on Panama stock and borrowed $100,- 000 on it ; loss, $60,000. He lent $50,- 000 on 20,000 shares of Northwest (common), and borrowed moire on it from, so it is said, a Broadway bank. He lent $100,000 on $138,000 collateral securities, which cannot be traced Since 2 o clock the market has been very active and excited upon Lake Shore and Michigan Central. The lat ter advanced over 4 per cent to 65, and Lake Shore under large transac tions reached 64. The general list advanced a fraction in sympathy therewith. The failure has involved the suspen sion of the Bankers and Brokers As sociation, which was an institution availed of by small operators for clear ing stock. It is thought that Bonner & Co's liabilities will exceed $300,000. Following the suspension of John Bonner & Co came that of J T Jackson, a small member of the exchange, -who was also short of Lake Shore and Wes tern Union. SPANISH AFFAIRS. The Expulsion of Don Carlos from France and What is Said About it Madrid, Dec 31 The Epoca states that Don Carlos ii. expected from France at the request of the Spanish government. Ex Queen Isabella has written to the ram .F-garo protesting against the expulsion of Don Carlos, and repudiating the . accusation that she was conspiring with 'him againBt Kme Alfonso.
