MR. GOSCHEN AND THE EGYPTIAN BONDHOLDERS. At the Cannon-street Hotel, London, a meeting of Egyptian bondholders has been held, at the requesi of the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, on his return from Egypt, and long before the appointed hour of meeting the great hall was densely crowded. The right hon. gentleman was received with enthusiastic cheers, extending over several minutes.—The Chairman (the Hon. Mr. Bouverie) said it was just eight weeks since they met in that room ,when, although there was something like a promise, there was fear that Egypt, so far as hei financial position was concerned, .would orumble into dust. The task imposed on Mr. Goschen was a most formidable one, but he (the chairman) believed that task had been most ably performed— (loud cheers)—and not only the English bondholders in this and other countries, but the Egyptian tax-payers ought to be deeply grate- ful. (Renewed cheers.) Mr. Goschen, who was again loudly cheered, said, as the Chairman had stated, it was eight weeks since they had met in that hall, when they conferred on him the power to negotiate on their behalf in order, if pos- sible, to bring to an arrangement the various claims of the numerous creditors of the Egyptian Govern- ment. He went to Egypt backed up by that generoui confidence, which gave him such ample powers, and confidence which he never could have had under any other circumstances. It was to that confidence and to public opinion that he as- cribed the great portion of what he hoped he might call the success of the mission. He had with him a colleague who possessed the widest confidenee of the French creditors, and they would permit him to render his homage to the courage, ability, and perfect go.,d humour of that colleague, M. Joubert, who sup- ported him from beginning to end. They had this fur- ther advantage, that there was no rivalry in Egypt between England and France, so that there was no putting one Government against another, or one public against another—that there was but one public opinion, which was that Egypt ought to satisfy her engagements. (Applause.) He (MI. Goschen) and his colleague felt that unless they could make a satisfactory arrangement it would be better to make no arrangement at all; they determined not to coma back without a practical, sound, and solid scheme. The first question they probably wanted to knew was what t.iey had done, and he would eodeavour to explain in broad terms the general features of their plan, but they would understand that at a meeting like this it was impossible to go into much detail, and he should take care to plaoe himself in communication with the various establish- ments who held loans, and give them every possible information. But first they would give him their indulgence, and allow him to say that it would be impossible,after he had made his statement, to hold correspondence with any bondholders; he must ask them to apply to their agents. One word of caution. He felt strongly the fact that they were looking at his words upon which to iound their judgment as to the future of Egypt. Many might buy and many might sell on the strength of what he said. Of all that he knew nothing he would tell them how he had en- deavoured to seoure this—that the funds of Egypt should go to satisfy Egyptian bondholders and the State. He had endeavoured to secure the best terms possible, and now he ventured to ask that his respon- sibility might cease. He proceeded to detail at oon- siderable length the nature of his plan. Most of them were aware that the loan of the Daira had not been in- cluded iii the general arrangement, because in the first place, the attitude of a certain portion of the holders prevented ucanimity, many of them believing they held judgments, and that by consenting to the lnclud- ing of the Daira they might risk them. He (Mr. Goschen) and his colleague found a difficulty in ob. taining a declaration from the Viceroy, Eventually they were requested to make a plan with respeot to it, but they could not get the necessary figures to assure themselves of the Viceroy s state until a few days before they left; but they had one or two im- portant conversations with hisHighneBS on the cubject. What he said was, I will give up all to the creditors;" that he would consent to place it in the hands of trustees, two of whom should be Europeans and one named by himself. They should take the whole of the proceeds of his private estate, and raise what interest was necessary. He asked what he could do more than give up the whole of his private estate to the creditors. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to allude to that part of the plan affecting the short loans. No doubt holders of individual loans might think they should have had more advantages, but he appealed to their generous judgment to ask themseIves the ques- tion, Could it have been obtained i They could not have made a perfect arrangement, except by giving to every creditor his lull rights. He came back with a compromise with which he hoped they would all be fatiafied, but some sacrifice had been asked from every holder. The short loans were to be put back into the same position as before the decree of the 7th May. and the bonds would be paid off at JE80 instead of f 100. With regard to the other three consolidated loans, of 1862,18(38, and 1873, these were to be guaran- teed by the railways as a special security, and the Harbour of Alexandria. The railways were to be placed under a special international administration, composed of two Englishmen, one Frenchman, and two Egyptians, of which an Englishman was to be the president. (Cheers.) There would be an immense colla- teral advantage in setting up such an administration in Egypt, beyond the pecuniary advantage of securing the bonds by those railways. They were to have strong and independent powers, such as fixing the tariff, making the contraots for rolling-stocky and appointing the employés-in fact, the administration would be withdrawn from the general Egyptian control and placed under a separate administration, of which the majority would be Europeans. (Cheers.) Already a dis- tinguished Irdian officer, General Maryatt, had been selected by the Viceroy. The financial position of Egypt was therefore as followsDuring next nine years the Government would bave ex^r^" ordinary resources in advance payments, which would amount to Bl,000,000 a year. An arrangement had been made that during the next nine years 6 per cent, would be paid instead of 7 per cent.; and when, at the end of that time, by the process of redemption and the sinking fund, the debt will be reduced, the 7 per cent. would be resumed. He concluded by saying that the difficulties of Egypt did not result from a de. ficiency of revenue, its difficulties had arisen from financial maladministration and from gross and scanda- lous extravagance—in fact, the late Finance Minister was said to have boasted that he had extraoted fifteen millions from the people. (Loud cheers.) Mr. G. Smith moved—"That this meeting wishes to tender its warmest thanks to the Right Honourable G. J. Goschen, M.P., for his exertions in conducting and concluding, on their behalf, his negotiations with the Egyptian Government for the payment of the debts of the Government and of his Highness the Khedive and also to acknowledge the zeal, despatch, and maiterly ability with which those negotiations have been brought by him to a successful issue." The resolution was carried.

A penalty of JE50 has been recovered in the Ex- chequer against an aocountant named Tett, living in vVestbourne-park, for practising as a solicitor. At Guildhall Police-court an application has been made for a summons against Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Lowe, and Mr. Stansfeld for conspiring together to indict Sir Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne." A sworn infor- mation was handed to the magistrate for his considera- tion. A presentation by the underwriters, comprising a silver service and a purse of sovereigns, has been made to Captain Daniel Dunn, of the Countess of Dublin (British and Irish Steam Service), in recognition of his oourage and daring in rescuing the Lady Bglintoun,and hauling her ig$o port m a storm.

APPREHENDED FAMINE IN INDIA. The accounts received from the districts in which searcity prevail I, says the Bombay Gazette, and where famine threatens are not encouraging. That scarcity does prevail to a very serious extent is very evident, and to provide for pressing wants the Government has startejl public works of a variety of descriptions, roads and irrigation works being the chief occupation of the ur employed now. The great and important question, however, still remains without an answer. What are the quantities of grain in the districts ? There is, of course, great difficulty in finding out what supplies of food the people have on hand, but efforts might possibly be made to ascertain, even if only to a limited extent, so important a matter. As if to shew tha.t these supplies are not great, we hear of deserted villages of cattle disposed of for a few rupees, of robberies and looting of stores, and of a feeling of alarm among grain owners lest attach should be made on their stores. The dread of these attacks is sa.id to be preventing dealers in grain in the districts from getting supplies from a distance. -The. Government have published no statements at present as to the future prospects of the dis. tricts now suffering from scarcity but whilst energetically acting to meet pressing claims for relief, the Government should inform the publio what they consider is likely to be the condition of the people in a few months' time-say about January nexl -then we might anticipate what that condi- tion -viuld be in some five or six months after- waj.tc. Some statistics might be given which would tend i" instruct the pviblic mind as to what the extent of t.he distress would be, and shew whether present scarcity is likely to become a famine in the future; or. in short, what may be expected. Until information of this sort is before us we cannot state with any cer- tainty whether the people of a large part of this pre- sidency, and part of the Madras Presidency also, are uffering even now from fa-sin-t or not.

RUSSIAN VIEW OF ENGLISH STRENGTH. The Runki Jlfir, gays the Pall Mall Gaeetle, in an article discussing the forces at the disposal of England for a war against Russia, says that it is easy for an insular Power to defy Continental States, but that Germany and Russia, with their colossal armies, have nothing to fear from ironclads, which are powerless to attack their shores, or from the small English army of soldiers who serve for pay. England may well boast that she is ready for war, for she does not require much time to mobilise her insignificant mili- tary force and to send her fleet to sea. Sweden and Denmark may also say, with equally good reason, that they are ready for war but the question is whether England is able to enter into a successful conflict with Russia for the achievement of a fixed political object. England is powerful on the sea, but the is hopelessly weak on the Continent. We may leave the sea to the English, and in the mean. while we ean quietly destroy the Turks on land, or allow them to escape in English ships. We can raise an insurrection in India, from Persia and Khokand; and we can destroy England's maritime trade by the help of a few cruisers, while the English iron- clads will endeavour in vain to approach the torpedo-protected harbours of the Black Sea and the Baltic. Our railway communications would make a successful landing of English troops on Russian territory as impracticable as one of Russian troops on English territory. In a word, Ergland is harmless to ns so long as she has no Conti- nental allies and she will not find any, fcr the ^aP°* leonic regime in Franoe ha? fallen, and no other Euro- pean State is disposed to follow its disastrous example. The Great Powers of the Continent must attach far greater importance to the maintenance of their mutual relations than to the alliance of a commercial nation which, being separated from them by the sea, holds aloof from the system of Con- tinental politics."

THE TRANSVAAL WAR. Writing from the South African Diamond Fields under date Oct. 17, the correipondent of the Standard gays :—Captain Von Schlickmann, who was left in crarge of the Boers at Steelport, whither they had re- treated. has been to the Gold Fields and to Potehep- trom, hunting up recruits. He is a very bold, fearless mur) himself, and at the same time very unprincipled. He is spoken of in the publio press as the murderer of helpless women and children and the volunteers which the President has allowed him to procure and take charge of, and which that autocrat calls the bul- wark of the Transvaal, are in reality oomposed of the very worst class of men in the whole of South Africa. Over a hundred have gone from the Diamond Fields, notwithstanding the order of the administrator, warning all British subjects not to take part in the war. Von Schliokmann and all his following are only a filibutterint: party, entering the conflict for the sake of the spoil they can get. Some dreadful atrocities have been committed by and under the cognisance of this motley assemblage called volunteers, which are fully confirmed by a host of letters forwarded bv some of the men to their friends. Some Kaffirs at- tacked Steelport on October 1st, and captured thirty- lIight head of cattle. One man, George Robus, was shot tnd is not expected to live. Lieutenant Knaap Was taken prisoner. The Kaffirs were pursued and some of the cattle retaken. A large number of the Kaffirs were killed. The feeling at the Lydenburg Gold Fields, which are inhabited principally, if not entirely, by English men, is in favour of British intervention, but finding their great danger,and remembering that they,being on Transvaal soil, are amenable to its laws, a publio meeting has been held, and a petition te the Government has been despatched asking for aid. Some fearful atrocities have been committed bjr the A.ni* smaigies, the brave allies of the Boers. Women and children have been brutally butchered by these savages under the very eyes and without any inter- ference on the part of those in charge of the Transvaal army." The people of this tribe are so enraged against any enemy that may have given them a little trouble, that when they get him in their power theyjare not satisfied with merely killing him in the ordinary way, but they gradually torture him to death. Suoh proceedings as these are, we are told, countenanced by the President himself, and they will be handed down to posterity as a lasting disgrace on him and the nation over which he still reigns with despotic sway. The new election for the Presidency takes place shorthand, notwithstanding his influence and braggadocio, he is very unpopular amongst the more refined of the people and they will do all they can to oust him from powe< and put in some other person who will really study th» interests of the State instead of his own aggrandise- ment.

THE VANE LEGITIMACY CASE. JUDGMENT. Vice Chancellor Malins has had before him again the case of Vane v. Van", in which Frederick Henry Vane, who claimed to be Sir Frederick Henry Vane* asked the court to declare that he is entitled to certain estates in Cumberland and Westmoreland, and that the defendant, heretofore known as Sir Henry Ralph Vane, who is in possession of the said estates, has no right to them, because the father of the defendant, through whom the de- fendant claimed title, was illegitimate.—The argu- ments having been concluded, the Vice-Chancellor proceeded to deliver judgment. After he had recapi- tulated the facts, his lordship said there was not a particle of evidence to support the allegation of the plaintiff that the father of the defendant was illegiti- mate. The whole foundation of the plaintiff's case failed, and the court could not help regretting that the plaintiff, whose case was one of the most hopeless ever brought before a court of justice, had assumed the title of Sir Frederick Henry before he could bring forward the slightest proof of his title. The bill must be dismissed. Mr. J. Pearson, Q.C. (one of the counsel for the defendant): With costsr-The Vice-Chancellor: If you ask me for costs, I must dismiss the bill with costs.

AN ARCHBISHOP ON INTEMPERANCE. The Archbishop of York has preached at Christ Church, Scarborough, on b",half of St. Mary's Tempe- rance Society, and in connection with its first anniver- sary. Taking for his text Romans, chap. xiv., 11th and following verses, hili grace said there was in the midst of us a vice so enormous in its proportions, so tending to increase amongst us, that it was likely to bring this country to ruin. The sore was spreading. There had been an enormous increase in the sale of intoxicating drinks. The annual expenditure of this country upon drink was no less than£140,000,OOO. There was no one in that church who had a clear idea of what that meant. It had been remarked that you might lay jE30 and more upon every single letter in the Bible before you would exhaust that enormous sum and, in the Apostle's words, the drunkenness of this country was responsible for a great part of its sins. The magistrates said it was responsible for two- thirds of its crime; the physicians said half the diseases and more were due to it; and political economists of other nations were beginning to exult over the pros- trate condition and the burdens of this country. He had read a careful, sober paper, prepared for the American Government, in which it was stated that owing to the wasted Monday and weakened nerves of our labourers the rest of the week, the American labourer could ascompliih far more than his English competitor. Legislation had quite failed to grapple with this intolerable vice. It had grown, apparently, the more we legislated upon it. We had an older resource than human legislation—the power of the love of Christ—to bring to bear upon it, and that was the only effeetual means left to rid the land of this most fearful evil. The duty of every sober person in that parish was to join this society and help to oreate a sound Christian public opinion upon the subject, for the drinkine system had broken loose from the Christian opinion of the country,and must be overtaken and controlled by it. The love of Christ presented to the drunkard alone could cast out this devil, and if our profession of Christianity Was anything more than a pretence, we should use our influence to cast the skeleton from our homes or to cleanse our streets or otherwise purify society from that which was the source of so much lust and crime and misery. The Archbishop, in conclusion, made an earnest appeal to the consciences of Christians on the subject of imme- diate exertion in a matter that concerned every one. --After the service his grace addressed a meeting of the members of the society in the schoolroom.
