(SPECIAL TELEGRAMS.) THE SITUATIoFlN BULGARIA. St. Petbrsbuko, Monday. Telegraphing from Oorno Studsene, the Grand nuke Nicholas denies the assertions of several Lon journals to the effect that the Russian ops were pursued after the check they received ThHtatements that fruitless effortB had been made to invest Rustchuk and Silistria are also Wared to be unfounded, and aocounts of Turkish victories at Rustchuk and Easgrad are said tone The Grand Duke concludes as follows bee, once for all, that no attention may be paid to" stories systematically spread by Turkish papers and "hostile organs of the European cress My sending no news simply means that all LeS well, and there is nothing new. When we Lave received a check, I have immediately it myself by telegraph." is -not only oi interest for Euiais, bat alio for the whole of Europe.

For her promise exclude Constantinople from her military operations Russia will, in all probability, be permitted to establish undisturbed her preponderance in Bulgaria. The autonomy of Bulgaria will be1 the logical consequence a successful termination of the Russian campaign, and such a result will not be disputed after Russia has done all she can to quiet the jealousies of the other Powers. Thus the situation of the Porte is, despite the viotories of the Turks, more serious than over for while the Porte may have kept its hands free in order to make a separate poaoe with Russia, the latter will no longer have her hands free to oonolude a separate peace with the Porte. Russia has freed herself in order to maintain her military honour. But Bhe may on that account have bound herself with regard to the objects to be sought in the conclusion of peace.

The oontinuanoe of the war may thus easily involve the complete dissolution of the Turkish commonwealth, at least in Europe, especially if Greece enters the field, and the atrocities continue. "For this event," the Post thus concludes its artiole, the platform for an understanding between the Powers may have already been found." Row-boat Torpedo PbAoticb; The Globe's Cronstadt correspondent writes that the Bailors of the Baltic fleet now Btationed there are daily engaged in torpedo practioe with row-boats, under the supervision of experienced torpedoists from the Danube. This practice is to enable them to attaok an enemy when it is diffiouit to obtain or make use of steam launches, and alBO to enable them to defend men-of-war whioh are unprovided with torpedo vessels. The Russian men-of-war Elborus, Constantino, and Vesta have left Sebastopol for a oruiBe round the Turkish coast of the Blaok Sea. All three vessels are provided with an apparatus for discharging torpedoes, and will therefore not deoline to light any TurkiBh ironolads they may encounter.

H. Wood J.B.Wright -a L. Wright EES1GNATION OF PRINCE GO JLiTSOH AKOFF. (Standard Telegram.) Vienna, Monday. Although stoutly denied ia quartera, it ia an undoubted fact that Prince Gortsohakofi tendered Ms assignation at the dose of last month.

Prince Obelenske, the Governor of Grodno, waa the bearer of the resignation to the Czar at Biela. The Czar haa not yet deoided what to do ia the matter. Prince Gortsohakofi is still opposed to Eoumanian and Servian co-operation, but his influence is fading away. The question of hia resignation will be kept in suspense until the Czar arrives at Cotro-ceni, near Bucharest, in a few days. THE KUSSIAN POSITION IN TURKEY.

The military correspondent of the Timet, telegraph ing from Bucharest on August 12th, saya. It would not be fair to give the disposition of the Kussian troopB at thiB moment, beyond saying that they stand in a great triangle, with the Gabrova Pass for the apex, and the Danube for the base. The left side faoing Rasgrad and Osman Bazar, and the right aids facing: iovatz and Plevna. The new corpBj besides a brigade of Tirailleurs, are coming up, and when they; have arrived the offensive will again be taken, but you need not look for anything of supreme interest for some time. Telegraphing a day later, the same correspondent-says Within the last 25 daya mora than 60,000 Eussian troops, with artillery, have passed by railway to Pratesti, where they assemble, and march to Histova, vid Simnitza.

Before the arrival of these troops there wero already on the other side, without inoluding the 14th and part of the 7th Corps, which were and are still in the Dobrudscha, no less than six complete Army Corps, besides smaller organised bodies, such aa two brigades of tirailleurs, the I Lookr ing south wards from the Danube, there are on the left' wing the 12th and 13th Corps, under the Cesarewitoh, with the 11th Division of the 11th Corps facing Rasgrad and Osman Bazar. Their front is covered by the 12th and 8th Cavalry Divisions and a brigade of the 11th Cavalry Division. The 8th Corps holds Tirnova and Selvi, besides helping to guard the Gabrova Pass. Opposite Plevna are the whole of the 4th and 9th Corps, and a division of the 11th CorpB. A division of Roumanians stands between Nicopol and Plevna.

The situation haa never yet been oritical. It would have been so as far aa tho tempqrary interruption of supplies were concerned, for two days after the battle of Plevna, if the enemy had been Germans, AuatrianB, Erenoh, or English but the incapacity oi the Turks for moving rapidly and for manoeuvring in the open field is so well known, that it may always be counted upon, and there is now a report that the Turkish advanced position before Plevna is being evacuated in favour of a better one for defensive purposes behind the town. Tho real danger to the Russians consists in the probability of epidemic disease, whioh is the mora likely sinoe the heavy rains of the last few days. the oase. A penalty or zus.

Btjbley and Kirkstall Flower Show. The third annual Bhow in connection with the Floral and Horticultural Society of these suburban districts was commenced yesterday, in the grounds adjoining the Star and fc)arter Inn, Kirkstall.

This was the first ocbasion on which the show held at Kirkstall the two. previous having been at Burley. It was doubtless thought that the date being that of Kirkstall Feast, therewould be more likelihood of success; but these expectations were somewhat marred by the weather, which was dull and showery. There were, moreover, two rival and widely contrasted attractions in a couple of adjoining Belde one devoted to the Clarence "Club" cricket match; the other to a heterogeneous collection of buows, merry-go-rounds, and similar accompaniments of a fair. During the afternoon there was only a meagre, attendance at the flower show, but there was a muoh better turn-out of visitors in the evening, when dancing on the green was added to the other attractions.

The show itself was opened in the forenoon by Councillor Carbutt, and there were 'alBO present Alderman Addyman, Councillors Nettleton, North, Mathers, and Smith Mr. W. H. Binder, and other friends. Athoughnot professing to be an extensive or important exhibition, the display of flowers, fruit, and vegetables was of good quality and oreditable to local growers.

Mr. Carbutt and Mr. Featherston exhibited a collection of stove and greenhouse plants which were not for competition. In the open department of cut flowers, which were abundant and admirable, Mr. Geo.

Burrell, meat salesman, Leeds, sued the Great Northern Company for 25 being the value of ten carcases of muttOD (6801b. at 9d. per whioh they had failed to deliver. On the 24th of March' the plaintiff consigned three hampers, containing twenty-nine oaroasas of mutton, tc be conveyed by the defendants to Messrs. King, Covell, and meat salesmen, of the Metropolitan Meat Market, London.

Two of them were duly received by the latter firm, but the third, now in question, was missing. The gates of the Metropolitan Market are thrown open at one clock on Monday mornings for the reception of meat from the railway companies, who leave the hampers in front of the shops of the persons to whom they are consigned. The meat dealers usually employ a watchman to look after such consignments until the arrival of the salesmen, and it appeared that the watchman employed by MessrB. King and Covell is also in the servioe of several other tradesmen, whose stalls are in different avenues. The defence of the railway company was that they had delivered the hamper, and that during the watchman's absence one of them must have been stolen.

The Judge said it would be a much better plan if the railway companies were to require that their note Bhould he initialed by an agent of the receiver, or some reoeipt given, so as to prove delivery, Mr. Doild, who appeared for the defendants, said the butchers themselves did not care to come down to the market ut bo very early an hour in the morning; nor did. they employ as watchmen sufficiently educated persons to sign a receipt. It was admitted by witneBBes for the defendant that pitching the goods in front of the premiseB of the personB to whom they were consigned was the ordinary and propercouraeof delivery at the market. The Judge (Seijeant Tindal Atkinson) asked whether thb learned counsel would ooutend that, if any other place than the meat market were concerned, it would be a sufficient delivery to pitch down goods in an open street of London, for instance before a closed shop at three o'clock in the morning? Mr, Dodd said he certainly should not, but in such a case as this the mauuer delivery was ruled by custom, and the two hampers whioh the defendants admitted havinz received were in the same way pitched in front of their Bhop.

Mr. Watson, who appeared for the plaintiff, argued that there was carelessness ou the part of the company, and that a mistake had been committed, whioh wna all the more probable as there were iu the Bame market other dealers of the name of King and of Covol). The Judge gave his verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Dorld applied that no costs Bhould be allowed, as the c.ompany,"in orfler to try the merits of the oase, had refrained from urging technical objections, one of which was au error in tne date of the consignment.

Upon the plaintiff expressing his concurrence, the Judge said the ordor might be without costB if there was to be no Dodds Thereshall be no appeal. Action against the North-Eastern Railway Company. At the County-court yesterday, before Mr. Serjeant Tiudnl Atkiuaou, Messrs. Myers aud maltsters, sued the North-Eastern Railway Company for thesum of 2 0s.

Sd.damageallegodto beddnetoaquantity of bailey during its transit from PiokoriugtoLseds, ou the defendant's railway. Mr. Pullan appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Terns for the defendants. Mr.

Pullan, in opening the case, said that in November last 140 sacks of barley were forwarded from a farmer at Pickering to tho plaintiffs at Leeds. When the goods were consigned to the cure of the defendants' servants at Pickering they wore in prime condition, but when they arrived at Leeds they were found to be saturated to such an extent as to considerably decrease their value, and to cause the plaintiffs to suffer loss in manufacturing them into malt. John Blakey, one tho plaintiffs, said that in November last ho purchased a quantity of barley from Mr. Hayes, a farmer at Pickering. He received from the North-Eastern Bailway Com-pauy a consignment uoto, aud went to the railway station to see that it was all right.

Ha found, the barley in a couple of truoks, with tarpaulin covers, but they (the covers.) wore full of boles, and the barley wa6 in a saturated oondition. Tho damage done he estimated, at 3s, per qr. The company agreed to pay Mm a certain sum in compensation, but it waB not sufuoient for the loss ho had sustained. ThomaB HayeB said he forwarded 140 sacks ot barley to the plaintiffe. It was in good condition at the time, and perfectly dry, when loaded in the truoks at Piokeriug station.

This evidence was corroborated by other witnesses. For tho defence, Mr, Ferns examined several wituesses, who testified that on the days the barley was paoked at Pickering station weather was very wet, and the covering on Mr, Hayes's oarts was insufficient to prevent the barley from getting, saturated. At Piokoriue station attention was called to this and a report made to the foreman to that effect. The' covers put on the truoks wefe thoroughly waterproof, and prevented the barley from getting wet. It was one of the company's rules that none but reliable covers Bhould be used for goods that would be damaged by water.

At the Wellington Station in Leeds, when the goods arrived the covers were carefully examined, but they were found to be ail right. There were no. holes in them, aud the seams were perfectly firm. His Honour said that Mr. Blakey must have been mistaken, for the evidence for the defendants plainly showed that tho covers were in proper condition.

There must, therefore, be a nonsuit. Bowls. Hunslet v. Cleokheaton. The return match was played ijji the Woodhouse Hill Ground on Saturday, and resulted in an easy victory for the home team.

ALLEGED MASSACEES OF CHRIS TIANS BY THE TURKS. (Daily News Telegjr.ak.') Bucharest; Monday. According to news which 1 have received, the moBt terrible scenes have been enacted on the southern slopes of the Balkans during the past fortnight.

It will be remembered that fighting of a severe nature was going on between the Russian cavalry and the Turks in the neighbourhood" of Bski Saghra from the 29th to the 31st of July, whioh ended in the evaouation of Eski Saghra by the Russians, who were attaoked by vastly superior numbers of Turkish troops, and consequently obliged tc retire to Kesanlik. This took place about noon on the I will relate the facta as nearly as possible in the way my informant described them to me. It appears that about four o'olock, on the day of the' Russian evacuation of Eski Saghra, the Turks began a terrible butohery, by ordering- that all the Christians, whether man, woman, or child, should be shot as they left their houses. Those who remained within, however, met with a worse fate, for they were burnt alive. The order was given to burn down and destroy every particle of Christian property in the place.

Many leading Turkish merchants took part in. the affair. Amongst them may be mentioned Said Aga, of Sohirpan, who assembled large numbers of Bashi-Bazouks, and despatched them all over the Schirpan district to spread their work of destruction. They needed no second bidding. In a short time hundreds of houses were in flames, and shocking cruelties were committed upon' their occupants, This distriot of Schirpan is one of the richest in that part of Turkey.

It contains a very large proportion of Christian inhabitants, and over thirty churohes, 600 schools and colleges, all of whioh have been burnt. In fact, the work of destruction extended as far aa the villages of Bogdan, Mahalesi, and Rani Mahalesi, and many others containing from ISO to 200 families. These villages are on the line of railway between Kermenli and Teni aghra, and scarcely fifty persons have escaped from them alive. Bulgarian fugitives, who have arrived at Gabrova. and Selvi, estimate that from 12,000 to 15,000 Christians have been massacred in Eski Saghra) and the Schirpan distriot alone.

Very little chance was given to the poor Christians to escape, for soldiers were posted along the road leading from Eski Saghra to Kesanlik with orders to shoot down everybody passing that way. It is stated the following Turkish personages of distinction were concerned in the massaore Tefik Bey, Sadik Bey, Akif Bey, and Daja Ahmed. Also that Sadik Bey went personally to his farm, and murdered many of his Christian labourers with his own hands. In all about sixty villages have been burnt." I have written the above as I have reoeived it, and from the terrible accounts which the fugitives continually, bring over the BalkanB, I fear it must be only too true.

It was Prince Mirski who raaronu'ls the other division of the 8th corps, who mirciied from Tirnova in tho direotion of Lovca; but he sns forced to remain in Irout of Selvi and entrenoh aimself there, where he still is. On the 7th ae pushed a reconnaissance of four battalions of "infantry and some cavalry in the direction of Lovca; but the Turks were found in stionj force, and the Russians had to fight their way out, eim lost a couple of hundred men. The Grand Duke Nicholas visited Biela yeBterday, and has returned to Siiuiem, a village a little south of Pavlo, where his head-qnarteis are established.

After the abandonment of Kesanlik it seems doubtful whether the Balkan passes will continue to be held by the Russians. The Graud Duke's lieiut-iuarrers, when they quitted Tirnova, went cru the Selvi road as a ruse to deceive the inhabitants, otherwise would all have followed in a panic. There are now in Selvi about 8,000 starving Bulgarian refugees, lhe weather to-day has broken, and there are heavy and loutiuuous rains. The natives say that wet may be isj'ected for a fortnight at this season, which must jreatly conduce to spread ill-health iu the army. The Hungarians and the Wak.

The Pesth correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, reporting upon the hundreds of pro-Turkish and anti-Turkish meetings held in Huusaiy uuriug the past weak, states that the pro-Tiirkisti demonstrations were without exception a perfect satcess, whereas the anti-Turkish turned out, on the whole, ascoinpleteafailure. Thepro-Turkish meetings were tela by Mauyars.tiie anti-Turkish by the variousSlavonic nationalities. The Magyars, being entirely unanimous, Uve once more shown their aptness for praotical politics. One and all they have kept in view the one oject for which they were called together one and all they have passed resolutions identical in senBe if not in letter with the resolutions of the central meetiug at I'estli, from which they were intended lo take their cue. The Oppositionist towns and villages have contented themselves with improving upon tho original motion, by declaring "immediate" action to be desirable not action at a proper time." But that is about all the divergence to be found among Magyar resolutions.

On tho ether baud, among the Slavonians there haB iu many places not even been an outward show of uuanimity. Croats and Servians have renewed their accustomed squabbles, and the consequeuce is (hat instead of unanimity and. enthusiasm there has heea nutagonism and jealousy. The Croats clamoured for the croation of a "great Croatian" State, the Servians for the formation of a "great Servian" principality or kingdom. Some speakers openly denounced AIilitary Events in the East.
