Constantinople , Dec . 13 . To the Turkish Embassy at Athens . Remonstrate at once as to this last Cretan business , and demand instant dissolution of the volunteers . The conduct of Greece lately towards our august Empire has been of the most dastardly , lying , and irritating character , and as a great nation , though it does not wear Paris hats and drink European spirits , will not suffer itself to be insulted with impunity , request , without any further 'delay , ample apologies for the past and satisfactory guarantees for the future . AthensDec . 13 . From the Turkish Embassy to the Foreign Office , at Constantinople . Have done what you ordered . The young King was very impudent , and said I had better next ask to see his father-in-law .

The Chief Commissioner of Police would seem to be inclined to court a little popularity now that Parliament has met . He has supplemented the repeal of his dog tax by the institution in the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis of semaphores to regulate signalsand the traffic worked , arranged by policemen on the . same The princi signal ple directs as railway the approaching , vehicle to come oh carefully , or to stop altogether as necessity may require . The new system is already in working order on several of the most dangerous crossings , and has turned out such a success that Sir Richard Mayne has been encouraged to follow it up by the introduction of a series of entirely original schemes , of which the following come first , in the list : — with Every a flag house -staff in from the the Metropolitan centre window Police of District the first is floor to be front fitted , ¦ from which a red flag shall be displayed when the master of the establishment is not at home . The police on duty are to be connected with each other by electric telegraph wires , through which they will be able to communicate with each other from any distance and at any moment . ' . The police stations oC London are to be connected by a private underground railway , in order that any number of the Force may be massed at any given spot without awakening sus Lastl picion y , by Sir Ric arading hard Ma the y streets ne is deep . ly engaged in perfecting a wonderful invention by which the leading thoroughfares shall be left to take care of themselves , but we regret to state that , althoug Regent h street for , many Piccadi months lly , and experiment other places s , have the invention been tried , does in not promise to be as successful as was anticipated .
