REUTER'S MESSAGE,
MR. GLADSTONE ON THE ARMENIAN QUESTION.
LONDON, September 24th. Mr. Gladstone, speaking at Liverpool, secam- mended the warmest support to the Gormament, with the largest discretion in regard to the Armenian Question. He said that the first stop was to break off relations with Turkey, and assuming, though not contemplating, that war. with united Europe, or with mainly united Europe, would be the result, Great Britain should still be prepared to act on her own responsibility in order to enforce the broken Conventionss, if this proved to be the only alternativé,
IW BOMBAY, anomalies in levying the duty on postage stamps have attracted attention. It is, says the Straits Times, pointed out that stamps conveyed by the China or East Aldean malls, being delivered without detention, escape the duty at Bombay. The result is that an enter- prislug dealer in Singapore sends to England for specimens, and forwards them by the China mall to Bombay, where his agents are able to underseil the local dealers,”since his wares have escaped the duty.
