The Herald’» special dispatch from
Berlin the 23d has tlfe following:
A serions complication has arisen be
tween Germany end England, and seven
dispatches are passing between Prince
Bismarck and Earl Granville:
The German government observes im
penetrable silence on the subject of the
prrseut difficulty, but I am informed
tuat Prince Bismarck has addressed a
note to Count Bernstorff, the German
representative in Loodoo, informing him
that the imperial German govern:

lowering him to make propositions to

of the island.
Earl Granville replied:!, the same man

government could entertain no

Upon which Brinoe Pixmarek again ad
dressed the British government through
Count Bernstorff, declaring that the ac
quisition of Heligoland waa niwiiy

Granville again replied that Eng
land was only Umml to oonaider her own
interests; that the wieh of the German
government to acquire Heligoland did
not constitute her right toil, as the island
had never been under Germim role. The
controversy now rests a* this stage.
All the unuffleial papers ta Berlin are
discussing the chances tor the acquisition
of Heligoland, while the official press is
either guarded or silent on the subject,

In the course of u debate in the
Versailles Assembly on Monday, on
the pending loan bill, President
Thiers made a statement which pre
sents the financial condition of
France in a nutshell. According to
the telegraphic report, he said that
the German war cost France three
milliards of francs. The deficit of
the fiscal year 1870-71, he estimated
at 1,631,000,000 francs, but of this
amount the Bunk of France had ad
vanced to the Government 1,300,00(1,-
000 francs, so that the immediate de
ficiency for the year was reduced to
301,000,000 francA To this, how
ever, must be added 436,000,000
francs for expenses incurred in sup
pressing the Communist insurrection
.u Paris. The total deficit is, there-
1 >re, 737,000,000 francs, which JI.
Thiers proposes to meet bv the im-
(osition of new taxes. All things
considered, he thinks the financial
situation “difficult but not disas
trous.”
A Giant Monopoly.
The New York Pod thus describes
tlie Pennsylvania Central R. R. Co.:
“With property in its hands to the
amount of two hundred and fifty
millions dollars; witli a gross income
far greater than that of the United
States government twenty years ago,
and greater than that of any State
Government to-day; with at least
three Legislatures ready to register
its will, and others great influenced
by it, and with all its achievements
regarded by the bold and able men
who control it merely as stepping
stones to a greatly future, what is to
prevent it from becoming also the
great political power ?’’
The Philadelphia Gazette is com
pelled to acknowledge that this is a
true bill, and only excuses the ambi
tion, greed and rapacity of the Penn
sylvania monopoly, by the allegation
that it was “ the desperate style of
warfare by the two great roads of New
York that compelled the Pennsylva
nia company to put forth the exer
tions and seize the powers it lias.”
