In " the House of Commons, Rott Lane denied that the vote was necessary to etrenethea the bands of the government.

Mr Bourke, the under secretary for the iuuu5 . , , . i t'-.r' . iforeien department, said n he wtre to speak without reserve be was sure there would not be a eiegle opponent to the vote. Nobody could lotk at the map of Europe without" recognizing ' that there was much truth in Air Layard s assertion ' that the Russian , terms amounted to the destruction of Tur key's empire in Europe. . "It was ob yious that this involved problems of the greatest magnitude! It rested with the decision of the House whether lasting peace' should be secured or one made which ' would be productive of future wars.

Tbe corres pondent of the Times thinks the pro bability of a speedy peace is not in creasing, as Russia insists on treating directly with the Porte, while the Eng land and Austria resolutions amount to intervention. The Journal de St Petersburg says if Turkey were a civilized power, caring for the' interests of all her subjects, the present occupation of ;ner provinces mighrcompel her to make peace, but as circumstances are otherwise, tne conclusion of peace is hardly possible. London, Feb 2. The Times' Vienna special says : "What has hitherto pass ed between England , Austria ana Prussia is only preliminary to discuas- . . . C T. ing in wnat way tne uneresis oi Eu rope in the Eastern question are to be taken into consideration, and in wnat manner the powers are to exert their legitimate influence on the settlement of the said question Russia, it is true, has disclosed her readiness to aiscuss matters, but beyond this all is mere conjecture. Beussells, Feb 2. The Journal de Brussels of to-day announces that it has received a dispatch from Constan tinople saying that an armistice was signed yesterday. London, iveo a special irom Paris CO the Pall Mall Gazette, says: M t ambetta declares j that any en gagements made at Kezanlik, modify ing the treaty of '56, are null. TheRus sian conditions to M Uambetta de clare that except the demand for in demnity involve flagrant yiolence to that treaty, the French interests in the East, he considers, have naraiy cnang ed since '56, M Gambetta insists that thfi war can onlv be terminated by a European congress." A Rome special to the fail Mail ua zette, says : "The proposal ot an Italian allianca with tne powers wnicn are op nosed to Russian aggrandizement, but at the same time guaranteeing the free dom of Christian nationalities is most favnmblv entertained here.

Russia has accepted Austria's proposal of a confer ence for settling European questions resulting from the war. J. The place of the conference has not yet been aeier mined Upon, but it Will - probably be in one of the smaller states, ine oasis oi the Russian peace conditions have been siened. : Paris. ; Feb z. A telegram from Cairo announces that the Grand Vizier of Turkey has telegraphed to the K-he dive that the protocol.of the armistice a ready" for signature, ine touitan telegraphed to the Czar accepting the peace conditions and askingthe Czar to stop the advance of Russian troops. The Czar replied that be was about to give orders to that effect.

The 'signal seryice station at Jthe wreck of the steamer Metropolis reports as follows ; "The. survivors will leave here at 12 ; ra to-day by the ship Cygnet, for Norfolk'. They are " destitute; 'fttd most all are bare footed and bare beaded.' They are well cared for by-the people." -; , ? ' ;., Noefolk Va, J'ebyy 2. The wreck ing tugs, which wenr ta the scene of the .Metropolis disaster, have all - re turned. They report terrible surf breaking all along 5ihe : shore, with a strong southerly current.. Nothing is visible of the wreck but tne stern driv ers. All the wood work is gone. The Cygnet and other steamers that went to the wreck by way of the canal will not arrive here until late to night or early in the morning. The general 'opinion ofwfeckers is that. the Metrop olis grounded at low tide, which kept herefrom forging closer in shore,- hav ing nothing but her sails to hold her head on. The vessel, from the force of the surf, came to with her side exposed to the Sweep of the surf, thereby caus ing so much loss of life, the people on her decks being unable to hold on. ,HEXDICK$ 0x SILYER. He Advocates the Silver Dollar and Doesnt See . Any Breach of Faith uvlt. " New York, Feb'y 2 Hon Thos A Hendricks has written a letter in reply to Mr Belmont's letter .in relation to the silver .question, in which he says he thinks ; that silver money should be restored. The pledge of 1869 of the payment.in coin, and the assurance in the act of 1870, of the payment in coin, at the then standard value, would.seem to authorize almo&tio require it. The compliance with a contract cannot be a breach of the publie faith Our coun try is a large producer of silver. The quality of money is important to its value. 'I think," says he, "that when restored silver will approach and per haps reauh gold in value, but should experience prove that it must remain below gold because of its greater pro duction, Congress has ample powers to provide against any evils which may follow."

Try it and see A Very Good Reason. The reason whv only one sample bottle of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liyer will be sold to tbe same person, for ten cents, by oar druggists, in Charlotte, is because of the enormous expense or importing tne uepa tine into this country, but as there are fifty csef in tbe lar;e size bottles, it seems two cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi cine that cures dyspepsia and liver com piaint. 5 All who have' not had a sample bottie are entitled to one for ten cents at all druggists.
