LONDON, April 2.
The Times leading editorial says that the Governnient’s conviction is that the terms extorted from Turkey are inconsistent alike with the interests of England and Europe, which will be sustained by the public opinion of the country.
The Times’ Bucharest special says that opposition to the retr cession to Russia of Bessarabia is growing in intensity. The weather is very fine and warm, and unless energetic disinfectory 1s promptly carried on along the military roads in Bulgaria and Roumania, a frighttul pestilence is likely to break out.

_, treaty.
The Times’ St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs that it is admitted that Austria is not at all disposed to state clearly the price of her neutrality, recognizing the fact that war between Russia and England would enable her to dictate her own terms.
Lonvon, April 2.
The Ear! of Leitrim was found in a ditch. The left side of his head was battered in. It is thought that he was also shot in the head ; butg the fatal shot was through the heart. His left arm was broken, and the right completely shattered. The driver and clerk were shet in the head. The ground where the murder was committed showed traces of a hard struggle. A fowling-piece and part of another gun were found near the spot. Three or four men were seen loi- tering in the neighborhood before the mur- der.
In the Commons to-day, Mr. Louther, under Colonial Secretary, announced that Karl Leitrim had been shot, and there was reason to believe that the crime was of an agrarian character.
’ er, City Council.
A meeting of the City Council was held last evening. Present: His Worship the Mayor, Councillors Peake, Harris, Crabbe, Davy, Smith, Hooper, Quirk, Byrne and Morris.
A large number of bills for labor and hauling brushwood to Victoria Park were read and their payment confirmed.
The bills from the different Civic depart- ments were also read, and, on motion, ordered to be paid. The bill of Mr. George Milluer for boring a tubular well on Grafton Street, drew special attention.
Councillor Harris said that he gave orders where it was to be bored. After 1t was com- pleted the water appeared good; but in a short time it began to get bad, and afterwards stunk. ‘The water from it would color the snow. The well was now useless unless for fire purposes.
The bill of Dr. Leeming for analyzing the well on Weymouth Street was read.
Councillor Byrne said that in looking over the accounts said by the city for medical service during the past year, he was convinced that the ane of a Police Surgeon, who should perform the whole medical work of the city for a fixed salary would render a great saving. He said we had a large number of police who often feign sickness for the purpose of getting leave of absence, and if a Surgeon was employed they could not absent themselves without good cause. Besides, there were many other instances where the city required such an official. He then moved the following:—
Resolved, That Joseph Creamer, M. +s be appointed Police Surgevn, at the salary of $100 a year. ey
Councillor Crabbe said he would be inclined to vote against the motion until he could be shown Ces medical service cost the.city. —
Councillor Harris agreed with the principles of the resolution. There were many cases in which a Surgeon was required. A distressing case came intothe handsof the police one night last fall, when a man fell from the wharf into a schooner, and died from the effects of the fall in the Police Station next day. In that case the police had—at midnight—to get an order from some one Councillor before they could give that man any medical aid.
The motion was then put and carried,
The Mayor brought to the notice of the Council the expense of supporting a magazine for the storage of kerosene at Mount Edward. He said since the cost the city one hun and fifty dollars, and the revenue from it was one dollar and sixty-eight cents. He should like to know if the Council wished to continue it.
Councillor Crabb said: that was the effect of placing the magazine in an inconvenient lo-
azine was established it
eality. Had it been placed within the reach of citizens no doubt it would be self-sustain- Ibe.
Councillor Harris remarki thas the ohject in placing the magazine at Mount Edward was that it might be out of danger. Kerosene was a very dangerous combustible to have stored within the city limits. If the citizens wished to endanger themselves for sake of a small sum of money the Council were unable to prevent It.
The Mayor said that the warehouse built by Mr. Owen Connolly for the storage of kerosene was still used for that purpose, and that there was, at present, a large quantity of oil in it.
Councillor Crabbe moved that the services of the Keeper of the Mount Edward Oil Mag- azine be dispensed with. Carried.
The resignation of A. D. Robertson, Police- man, was read,
A letter was read from the Department of Public Works, asking the Council to rent the Government a landing on Pownal Wharf for the Rocky Point Ferry Boat.
Moved and carried that the same be granted at the rent of $300 per year.
The Mayor informed the Council that he had | a letter from Mr. Perley, the person in charge of the Steam Dredge, stating that the City could have the use of the same for dredging the ballast off the old Pownal Wharf for the sum of $50 per day—the city to also pay for towitig the scows.
‘ead a letter from the Minister of Agricul- ture at Ottawa, asking for a copy of the “Arms of this City,” aa he wished to send them to the Paris Exhibition. The Mayor stated that impressions of the City Seal on wax and on paper was forwarded to him.
The Mayor asked the Council to appoint the Committee, suggested in the reply to the Mayor's Report, to make estimates for the en- suing year.
The Committee was, oi: motion, appointe d: Councillors Morris, Quirk and Peake.
The petition of Patrick Cullen, praying the Council to repair and raise West Street near his premises, was, on motion of Councillor Byrne, granted.
Councillor Smith complained that the City workmen were neglecting the north end of the City. Long Street was in avery bad condi- tion, and he requested the Council to lay some plank in places that it very much required them.
Councillor Byrne remarked that crossings were much needed on Queen Street, and moved ; that log crossings be placed between Winkler’s and Baldwin’s, Peake’s and Morris’, Weeks’ and LePage’s corners. Motion carried.
Councillor Peake moved that L. M. Poole be appointed City Surveyor, a salary of $1,000 yer year.
Councillor Morris could not see the neces- sity of bringing this motion up again. It was already lost twice. There was no work, that he could see, for Mr. Poole to perform, unless the City wished to give him $1,000 a year to walk through the streets and do nothing. *
Councillor Peake warranted that there was sufficient work going on, and sufficient cause to employ a competent Surveyor.
Councillor Crabbe said that in all the discus- sion that formerly took place on the motion, no Councillor could give argument to show that a eompetent person was not required. He thought that the amount paid last year for surveying would open the eyes of some Coun- cillors and let them see that a man who is able to perform all the City business is required.
Councillor Harris was of opinion that the only argument in favor of appointing the $1, 000 man, was the ‘‘ Wharf argument.” There are nen in this city—competent and good men —who would do the work for half the money. Were Mr, Poole appointed, he did not think he would leave his present lucrative position, and aceept it, as the city could only guarantee him the position till August next. He could not see his way clear to vote for the motion, when equally competent men couid be obtain- ed for half the salary offered.
Councillor Byrne said the subject was ex- hausted. Why it should come up, night after night in the Council, he could not cident, unless some members wished to exercise and display their oratorical powers in abusing Mr. McNally. The friends of Mr. Poole in this Conncil were, actually, not his friends. They wished to take him from a permanent situation and place him in one from which he would be dismiesed in a_ few months. He hoped the matter would be allowed to rest hereafter.
The motion was then put and lost, by a vote of 4 against 5.
The Council then adjourned sine die.

The Dominion Permissive Liquor Liaw.
(From the Moncton Times. )
The regulation of the tariff in intoxicat ting liquor appears to be placed, by the Union Act, in the Local Legislatures. Nevertheless, the Government at Ottawa has framed a Liquor Act the object of which is to over-ride the authority of the Legisla- tures and assume control of the Traffic. That the new Bill is unconstitutional may well be believed, but assuming, for argu- ment’s sake, that it is constitutional, that it is likely te become law, and that by its pro- visions the Traftic is hereafter to be con- trolled, we quote for general information the really important section having refer- ence to what is termed the local ‘‘ prohibi- tion” of the traffic.—The reader will notice that by sub-section 4 of this section, distil- lers and brewers may continue to manufac- ture and sell liquors even in a County or City in which this ‘‘ Temperance Act” is in force, provided they sell not less than ten gallons at a time and that to parties resid ing outside of the County or City. B sub- section 5 wholesale dealers are authorized to carry on a wholesale business in Counties or Cities under the Act, provided they sell not less than ten gallons at once, and to parties who they have reason to believe will remove it beyond the County or City bounds. A feature of this sub-section is that, apparently, anyone may wholesale in this way. Temperance men will readily see how wide a door these provisions open to un- scrupulous wholesalers and retailers, There does not appear to be any necessity far a wholesaler taking out a license under this Act.
The following is the section referred to with its sub-sections :—
95. From the day on which this _ of this Act comes into force and takes effect in any county or city, and for so long thereafter as the same continues in force therein no person, unless it be for exclusively sacramental or medicinal purposes, or for bona fide use in some art, trade or manufacture,
anderthe regulation |

3. Provided always, that the sale of intoxi- eating liquors for exclusively sacramental or medicinal purposes or for bona fide use in some art, trade or manufacture. shall be lawful only by such druggists and other venders as may be thereto specially licensed by the Municipal Council of the county or city ; such sale for sacramental purposes to be made only on the certiticate of aclergyman affirming that the liquor is required for such purpose, such sale, when for medicinal purposes, to be in quan- tities of not less than one pint, and to be made only on the certificate of a medical man, af- firming that such liquor has been presvribed for the person named therein ; and when such sale is for its use in some art, trade or manu- facture, the same to be made only on a certi- ficate signed by two Justices of the Peace of the bona jides of the application, accompanied by the affirmation of the applicant, that the liquor is to be used only for the particlar pur- poses set forth in the affirmation ; and it shall be duty of the Druggist or other vendor to file the certificate and keep a registrar of all such sales, indicating the name of the purchaser and the quantity sold, and to make an annual return of all such sales on the thirty-first day of December in every year to the Collector of Inland Revenue within whose revenue division the county or city is situated.
4. Provided always, that any licensed dis- tiller or brewer, having his distillery or brew- ery within such county or city, may thereat expose and keep for sale such hquoras he shall have manufactured thereat, and no other; and may sell the same thereat, but only in quan- tities not less than ten gallons at any one time and only to druggists and others licensed as aforesaid or to such persons as he has * good reason to believe will forthwith carry the same beyond the limits of the county or city, and to be wholly removed and taken away in quan- tities not less than ten gallons at a time.
6. Provided also, that any merchant or tra- der having his store or place for sale of goods within such county or city, may thereat keep for sale and sell intoxicating liquor, but only in quantities not less than ten gallons at any one time, and only to druggists and others as aforesaid or to such persons as he has good reason to believe willforthwith carry the same beyond the limits of the courty or city, to be wholly removed and taken away in quantities not less than ten gallons at a time.
6. In any prosecution against a distiller, brewer, merchant, or trader under this section, it shall be incumbent on the defendant to fur- nish satisfactory evidence of having good rea- son for believing that such liquor would be forthwith removed beyond the limts of the county or city for consumption outside the same.
