The Navoo Vremya , in cuniinontini ; upoi the London and Manchester indigna tion meetings ill behalf of tho.lmvs denies the sorioiis charges broughl against the Russian authorities , soldiery diory and people , and says : "Tho Jews have evidently sot themselves to tie ! not very difficult tusk of exciting ing Knglish opinion against Russia. In this they m.iy likely enough suc ceed , but the service they render their eo-roligionists in Russia is a' ' least questionable. The Jewish question tion hero is an internal one in the strictest sense of the word , and no in terference from without can or will bo allowed. Its solution is not bo looker for in England , but depends above nl on the extent to which the Jews thorn solves arn willing to abjure their pros. out religious and social tendencies. The Karaim Jews have never aroused the poputoi hatred as ih 'ir brethren t the Talmud , and if the present agita tion in England shows that the latter will not abandon without a struggle the principle which leads them to ox- plioit every one who is not a Jew , all the worse for them. The Russian government cannot make cor.cosHions to this principle without serious inju ry to the well-being and quiet of the empire. " The Knr.iim Jews , existing in' small numbers , chiefly in tlio Crimea , and , comparatively speaking , but lately brought under Russian rule , enjoy all the rights and priv ilcges of Russian subjects , as the central authorities took care to re mind the people in a recent circular. It is true they live peaceably enough in Russia , and got on pretty well with their neighbors , but the true conclu sion to bo drawn is obvious , though it may not suit the Navoo Vromya. The tit. Petersburg Journal to day , speaking witli an air of authority , says ; that the settlement ot the Egyp tian question will shortly become im perative < , and will probably bo effected by ; the great powers interested , namely ; Russia , England , F ance , Germany ; Austria and Italy. The Journal goes on to say that in the event B0Oj England and Franco joint ! } , or either ; of them taking a position an tagonistic to that assumed by the other great powers , the latter will in sist upon their mode of procedure , oven at the risk of exciting the on- nity of the other two. The extraordinary warmth of this winter season in St. Petersburg and district is calling serious attention to ho probable increase of epidemic dis eases during the next few months , as ho usual cold dry weather of winter s immense importance here in con- racting the unhealthy situation and ho conditions of the locality. While . hero is no winter to speak of in St. 'etersburg , the Trans-Caspian , where he winter is usually very mild , is his season visited by severe cold and now.

Peasants have murdered six porous _ ' ous belonging to a Jewish family in > -ho town of Proujau , in thu province Grodna. They also outraged t'le women. A renewal of the recent nitbreak against the Jews is feared Warsaw , and all Jews have boon is n'dorod to keep within doors and also close their shops General Igua- iefi' , in receiving a delegation from .ho Jews , said that he agreed to the ormation of a Jewish committee to ssist in the emigration of their rnce ml also promised to open the western rontier to Jews before many months.
