LATE ENGLISH NEWS.

:■;■;■■ „-■; ■ —« ■ (PEB B.S. EOTOMAHANA AT THE BIiUFF.) (Peb Pbess Association.) Ago Special London, July 17. Mr Goscben has presented the Sultan with a collective note signed by tho Powers, conveying the decision arrived Bt by the late Conference at Berlin. Intimation was given that the subject will receive attention. The Great Pawcrs lave addressed a ; collective note to Greece, embodying the recommendation of the late conference of the Berlin Treaty with reference to the question of rectification of the Greek frontier. The Government of Athens promptly replied, and have expressed their willingness to accept the proposals contained in the document and to afford every assistance in arriving' at an amicable arrangement with the Porte. ~ The evasive procrastination policy of the Snltan has induced France and Italy to join England in bringing increased pressure to bear upon the Sultan. Orders to coerce the Porte in carrying out the stipulations of the Berlin Treaty regard- ■ ing the internal reform and the cession of the disputed territory to Greece and Montenegro. It has been arranged to combine in making a naval demonstration before Constantinople, and Germany after some hesitation; has consented to co-operate. ' ■ London, July 19. TheiiPorte, having determined on a naval expedition against Greece, decided to appoint Hobart Pasha, an English officer who has organised the Turkish navy, to command. Hobart Pasha, however, has refused to command any attack upon Greece, as such an expedition would :;■ probably bring him into conflict with the navy of his own country. An outbreak in Asia Minor is exciting great alarm, and at Adana, an important city in Asiatic Turkey, serious disturbances have occurred. A British man-of-war has been despatched from Cyprus to protect the lives and interests of the foreign population. Intelligence has been ,\ received from Canada of an accident which happened to Prince Leopold, now on a tour through the Dominion. He was out on a fishing excurion, and accidently injured his ankle so severely that he will be unable to prosecute his journey for some weeks. "Atlas" in the World says:-"It seems that the process-servers in Ireland now refuse to serve processes on the tenants except on receiving.a fee of £1 for each process, and even then being escorted by a large force of constabulary. For the service of ten processes in one well-to-do village as many pounds were demanded, and must have been paid by the landlord had not his second son been home on leave from Aldershot. The young soldier, always ready, for a little excitement, offered to effect the service for half the money. Driving to the end of the tillage, where his presence excited no suspicion, he walked to the other end, where ne accosted the owner of the first house to be served. " Well, Martin, have yon been getting much relief-meal ?" " Troth, Masther Albert, I am not gettin' my due/ answered the worthy, in the corner of whose kitchen two full sacks attested the liberality of the committee. fi Very well; you can give this paper to the' parish priest, and see if he can do anything for you," the volunteer processserver continued, handing him the paper, folded. Martin was profuse in his expressions of gratitude, and similar papers were handed to nine other grateful recipients. Just as the last was served, the truth burst upon one who had opened and read the folded process. The race to the car was spirited; and when Maßter Albert obtains his company no bonfire will blaze in that Tillage in honor of the event.
