In the CoimiMmo Tlie OoverameBt Uoaed. Loxiwx, July 3. In the 5ommons this afternoon Mr.

Disraeli in reply to a question by the Marquis of Hartington, confirmed the reported declaration of war by Servia and Montenegro. He said no direct information had been received from the seat of war. Negotiations between the Porte and the insnrgents had terminated. The papers would be presented to the House and then discussion would be justified. He, however, could Bot present some of the documents without consulting foreign governments.

Mr. Jenkins (Liberal) attacks the Government for its reticence and dwelt on the anxiety of the country in the matter. He moved adjournment of the House. Mr. Difa aeli deprecated the discussion of the question without the official tlocn ments being before the House, upon the diplomatic gossip of the newspapers.

He said the time had arrived for discussion, but only when the papers were before Mr. John Bright blamed Mr. Disraeli for not making a statement informing the country of his policy. He protested against a policy of war for the maintenance of Turkey, and declared that the Crimean war waa unjustly commenced, unfortunate progress ana ignominious in its end. He concluded by 6aying that the nation wanted neutrality.

The Times' editorial says the Princes of Servia and of Montenegro have entered upon a great enterprise, and most be allowed to fight it out. We do not mean to say that if their efforts proved so successful as to cause a complete break up of the union between the European provinces and Turkey we might not be constrained to express onr opinion as to the destination as to some one or two of them, but these are remote contingencies the anticipation whereof would not justify our interfering, to restrain the Princes.

Now we hope and believe that nobody in England dreams of such an interference. If this thought has been harbored anywhere it must be dissipated as soon as it assumes practical Bhape.

A dispatch to the Beuter Telegram Company from Wedden, reports that the Turks have captured some Servian entrenchments near Zincar and the Servians fled, losing 2000 killed and wounded and prisoners. A Kenter Telegram from Paris denies the truth of the report of the Paris correspondent of the London Times that England had proposed a meeting of representatives of the European powers to watch the conflict in Turkey. Le Moniteur also gives a direct. contradiction to the Vienna dispatch in the Times yesterday, to the effect that France had taken the first steptoward common action on the part of European powers to restrain Servia.

Le Temps expresses the opinion that the great powers will observe neutrality for the present, but it appears probable they will appoint commissioners who, after the first encounter, will endeavor to induce the combatants to suspend hostilities.

Considerable sums were paid for eligible positions.

Probably half a million persons are on Broad street to night witnessing the magnificent spectacle. The entire route of the procession is brilliantly illuminated, and the display of flags and banners generally magnificent, and what added greatly to the effect were the illuminated and festooned triumphant arches which had not been used on public demonstrations in this city since the reception to the Marquis De Lafayette, in 1824. The illuminations were especially splendid, at the new Masonio Temple, Lapierre 8t. George's Hotel, Offenbach Garden, Academy of Fine Arts, Broadway and many residences on North Broadway street.

Along Chestnut street there were a number of triumphal arches, and all of the hotels and theatres, and most of the large stores were lighted up and contained "many handsome patriotic designs. Although the parade was almost a spontaneous throwing together of a vast number of men, there was but little time lost in the formation of the line. There was some little difficulty in placing the bodies of the secret orders and societies who had reported at the last mtnuto. The procession was organized in four grand divisions, each with a marshal and ids. The line was headed by Gen.

Callis and his mounted, with a profusion of torches around and about them. Then followed the Northeaet Division, under the command of Mr. Isaac A. Sheppard. Competent judges estimate the number of persons in the parade at over 10,000.

Some of the principal features of he parade and all of the distinguishsd guests were vociferously applauded, but the best order preserved. International TypoRraplCal Union. Philadelphia. July 3.

The following performance can be seen in any Philadelphia street car: Admission seven cents. You enter a street car, pay your fare to the conductor, and take hold of a strap, for the seats are all occu pied by ladies and gentlemen. At the next corner a lady enters, but none of the gents will give her a seat, so she does tbe next best thing she can, and likewise takes hold.of a strap. 1 A square further on another gent comes in, but as none of the gents or ladies will get up and give him his or her seat, he also takes hold of a strap. Soon, however, one of the ladies occupying a seat makes her exit, and tbe gent that entered the car last takes and occupies the vacated seat with all possible haste, and leaves the lady still standing and holding to her strap.

And the chances are that half a dozen more gents will enter and get seats before her ladyship. The above is a fair statement, and witnessed by. me on more than one occasion. Yours, with respect, F. H.

Feminine Pluck, A STEAM YACHT SAVED BY A COinPVS 09 BKAVE NEW KXGLAJsT Capt. McQuestion, of, the tovboat A. H. Glover, relates an' instanee of th pluck of New. England girls which is worthy of "record.

During the launch of the steam yacht Laura at North Wey mouth, on Tuesday last, a hawser parted between 'the yacht and the tug, and there was imminent danger of the yacht being blown on to the opposite shore by the strong wind then prevailing. The people of both vessels frantically shouted for a boat to take a line to the tug, which, owing to the shoal water eoukl not approach within SCO yards of the yacht. there were, more than a score of men rowing along the shore they seemed paralyzed by the unexpected catastrophe, and not one volunteered. At this critical moment a BKiff containing two ladies shot out from the 6hore, ana passing under the stern of the yacht one of the ladies caught and held the While the other, Miss Lizzie Cook, of Qniney, polled for the tug. Any one who has pulled against a steady wind, towing a heavy rope, will recognize the task the ladies undertaken.

Each moment, the sinking. rope was dragging heavier, and tho strength of the fair rower was decreas the steamer backed toward the skiff until she grounded; the result seemdu problematical: the lady gained only inch by inch, and just as it appear ed certain that she was exhausted and must give up the struggle, the thousands of anxiously watching eyes were re lieved to see the men on the tug reach the skiff with the boat hook and take the hawser on board; the tug steamed out into deep water and the staunchest and handsomest propeller yacht ever built in Massachusetts was safely floating inner destined element. V' 'v" It is Capk McQuestion's opinion" that if all of our ship captains had the prompt courage of Miss Cook, the underwriters would have fewer losses, to 'J Dressing Expensively at $10 a Tleaf.

The result is that Mrs. M. clothed in such gorgeonsncss as was only 'known to Solomon in all his glory yet her wardrobe is exceedingly circum scribed. At a late meeting of the Physical and Natural History Society jof Geneva, Mr. Tnrrettini, who 'has to make frequent 1 visits to the boring of tho St.

Gothard tunnel, gave an acootnt of a phenomenon which is often produced in the granitie mass of the mountain. When the rock is shaken by the explosion of a mine the report is at unequal intervals, by other spontaneous esplosions at con siderable distances from the mine hole, of which the cause is unknown, and which are attended with serious results to the. workmen. The phenomenon is new, and appears to indicate a kind of tension inherent in the formation of the granite, which, agitated at point, is transmitted a distance so as suddenly to disen ga ge large fragmen of materiaL It may be compared with the experiment daily madefy the quarrymen who work the erratio blocks in the vallevs of thft Alps to obtain building materials.
