GENERAL NEWS. A great deal has been heard lately about the Bosphore Egyptien. The Bosphore Egyptien is, of course, a ridiculous rag. It seems too unspeakably preposterous that an international quarrel should or could be involved out of the suppression of the in- cendiary sheet. But it is not because it is prepos- terous that it is not possible. The history of war- fare teaches that where there is an object in forcing a dispute any peg will serve to hang it upon. And the quelching of a journal notoriously written by Frenchmen in the interest of France, and with a purpose hostile to this country, has in it germs of development capable of swelling any extent. France used to go to war for an idea, why not for a newspaper 1 According to the Daily News, Russia is con- structing a railway which is to proceed through Askabad, Sarakhs, Herat, and Candahar, to India. When the line is completed and connected with the Indian railways, passengers will book at Victoria or Charing-cross, and go via Cologne and Vienna to Odessa; from that place by steamer to Batoum; and then by railway, now existing, via Tiflis, to Baku. Here a steamer will take the passengers across the Caspian to Krasnovodsk, and after that there will be no break in the line, which will go through Askabad, Sarakhs, Herat, and Candahar, on to the Indus. It has been calculated that the journey.by this route could be done in about eleven days, and although the journey, even then, would be a very tedious affair, the majority of travellers, in the piping days of peace, would find this route far preferable that by the Suez Canal. Russia has been steadily working at this railway for years, and military men make no secret of their belief that when it is completed an invasion of India will be possible. The farmer named Douglas who deliberately shot Mr William White, a corn dealer, at Sevenoaks, in consequence of a dispute about a horse on Friday last is still at large. After committing the act Douglas rode to his farm at Ide-hill, a distance of abrout three miles, and, having changed horses there, proceeded into Sussex, and notwithstanding the efforts of the police no further information of the whereabouts of him or the horse has at present been obtained. Mr White is in a most precarious condition, and on Monday evening his recovery was considered to be extremely doubtful. The prospects of the fruit crop in Kent are ex- ceedingly promising. The cherry orchards present a grand appearance, the trees being one mass of blossom. The buds upon the apple trees are fast expanding into pink and crimson flowers, which, like. those on the cherry trees, look strong and healthy. It is ten years since there was a really prolific cherry season and an abundant fruit crop would go a long way towards compensating the agriculturists for losses in other directions. Henry Turner and Jane Turner, his wife,, were at Crews on Saturday charged with the man- slaughter of Louisa Turner, their child. An in- quest was held on the child, and the Coroner directed a post-mortem examination of the body, which showed it had died from starvation. The prisoners were remanded. The eldest son of the Rev. J. D'Arcy Preston, Rector of Freemantle, near Southampton, who has been spending his holidays at the Vicarage, was found dead on Saturday, having been shot through the head with a revolver. Whether the deed was the result of accident or design has not transpired. After being out exactly a week from Liverpool the Guion Line steamer Abyssinia returned to the Mersey on Saturday afternoon. The Abyssinia, with a large number of passengers, left Liverpool, on the 25th of April for New York, and sailed from Queenstown on Monday last. She had then about 550 passengers, and, after getting several hundred miles from Queenstown, she met with an accident to her screw shaft, which got fractured. Finding the injury could not be repaired, the captain decided to put back. A favourable wind prevailing, the vessel was not taken into Queens- town, but headed for Liverpool. She was reported off Holyhead in tow at four o'clock on Saturday morning, and this was the first word the Company had of her after she passed Browhead. The Abys- sinia entered the Mersey shortly after noon on Saturday. The owners had not. the slightest anxiety as to the 'safety of the vessel, as she is known to be able to proceed fairly well under sail. A number of passengers sailed again on Saturday by the steamer Nevada, belonging to the same line, and the remainder will be going next week by another of the Guion vessels. The Abyssinia her- self has been taken up by the Government as a transport, and will be repaired with all speed to enter the Government service. The body of a marine engineer, named Peter Robinson, was on Sunday morning found lying on'a grave in Kirkdale Cemetery, near Liverpool, and beside him was a bottle containing laudanum and carbolic acid, some of which he had evidently taken. A short time ago Robinson's daughter committed suicide, and was buried in the grave on which his body was found lying, and subsequently his. wife died. In his pocket was found a letter addressed to his brother, stating that he had walked all the way from Perth to die on his daughter's grave. A Galashiels telegram reports that on Saturday afternoon Mr Alexander, barrister, of London, lessee of the Dryburgli Fishings on the Tweed, was drowned while out fishing on a part of the river below Boatpool. As he was standing in shallow water he stumbled and fell, his wading trousers filled, and prevented him recovering himself, and, f getting into deeper water, he was carried away by the current. A fisherman named Johnston, who was on the spot, launched a boat and tried to save Mr Alexander, but without success. The body was recovered about an hour later. A singular death is reported from Devonshire. Dr. Phelps, of Exeter, was walking along the rocks at Teignmouth on Friday, his family being in advance of him. Suddenly lie was missed. On arriving home his wife began to trouble, and search was instituted. On Saturday the body of the gentleman was found jammed in a cavity into which he had evidently fallen, and the water coming in while he lay there helpless and drowned him. At Liverpool assizes on Saturday, Daniel Murray O'Hara pleaded guilty to sending menacing letters to Jane Amelia Griffiths, demanding money two years ago, when acting as assistant doctor. Prisoner, it appears, had been convicted of fraud at Belfast, and his name had been removed from the list of practising surgeons. He was now sentenced to ten years' penal servitude.
|FASHIONS FOR MAY.
FASHIONS FOR MAY. Our Journal this month is replete with all the latest novelties in spring and summer mantles and jackets, both for married ladies and young girls. The fashion for mantles this season promises to be very convenient, there seems no decided preference for one shape more than another; long and hand- some visites, short mantelets, redingotes, jackets both short and long, are all equally fashionable so there is no lack of variety, and the most exacting taste should be satisfied. Some of the largest and most dressy mantles are composed of two materials. The linings are of some effective colour, and the -trimmings a profusion of lace and jet, or where lace is chiefly used, jet drops or beaded balls are freely used between the pleats of lace. Although most of the mantles illustrated are composed of broche or ottoman silks, for general or useful wear stamped cloths, camels-hair and thick cashmere are frequently employed, and for these there is no trimming so durable or suitable as the woollen lace, or Yak lace, as it was called some few years ago. This lace forms a very pretty trimming, 111-Iml I is inexpensive, and can be had in a variety of colours, for both mantles and dresses. The Jersey jackcts, which are most convenient garments for intermediate wear, promise to be as popular as ever, the great advantage being that they can be worn as a dress bodice, or in mild weather can be worn over the dress for out of doors. The perfect fit of the Jersey is always admired, and the very low prices at which they can be obtained brings them within the reach of all. Some of the newest Jerseys are made with loose fronts fastening over an embroidered vest, or vest of another colour, such as we illustrate here, and for slight mourning a pretty Jersey in grey stockingette is shown, with black braid trimming. Preparations for summer costumes are already begun, but while the changeable weather lasts, there is little seen but costumes of woollen ma- terials. Striped materials will be very fashionable, both wide and narrow stripes of two colours also wide graduated stripes in several shades,. These striped materials are never employed for the dress alone a plain material of one of the shades in the stripe is used for bodice and draperies, and the skirt alone of the striped material. The new summer beges, in a variety of new shades, are made up with a material of the same kind dotted over with velvet spots, either in the same shade or con- trasting, such as grey, cardinal, fawn and brown, brown and gold, and Jolaek and gold this fancy material is generally used for the plain skirt and bodice, or as trimming for the bodice if preferred. Although early as yet to speak of washing cos- tumes, there are already some very pretty fabrics suitable for this purpose on view, and ladies will do well to provide themselves early with these goods, as the best choice is always to be had at the commencement of the season. Some of the newest washing goods are embroidered on a nankeen ground, and the zephyrs have raised spots in a variety of colours, resembling the velvet-spotted woollen. Costumes of plain and striped zephyrs are sold together, a sufficient quantity of each, and plain and fancy striped ginghams in great variety are sold for useful tennis dresses. The more ex- pensive washing materials are embroidered or cross- bar muslins extremely fine, with either embroidered borders in the same, or lace of the same shade for trimming, these muslins being principally of a creamy or biscuit tint. The show of milinery is very gay, with all these decided colours in favour. Velvet and plush are used for trimmings. On the fancy straw bonnets, and on the straw hats, are prettily arranged scarves of gauze. Hats are scarcely ever worn by married ladies, but when worn are of the most simple des- cription, and for morning costumes onlyf Most of the new hats have the brim wide in front, and shallow at the back, the trimming of feathers and velvet arranged high in front. Dark straw bonnets are prepared to match all the new costumes, but fancy straws are also used with trimmings the shade of the dress. The new wire foundation bonnet is covered with beaded net, and narrow velvet ribbon strings, and butterfly ornaments are very stylish. Flowers are much used for bonnets, in preference to feathers, but feathers and grasses are employed for hats, —Mrs. Leach's Practical Family Dressmaker for May.

It has been ascertained that the vessel which contained the explosive used at the Admiralty Offices on the 23rd of April was what is known as a digester or stockpot, such as is used in kitchens. It was of cast iron, tinned inside, with a capacity of one gallon, had the name of "Baldwin stamped on the bottom, and a figure 3 on the lid. Originally it had had a handle across the top, but so far no traces of the handle have been found. It is re- quested that any person having sold such an article will communicate with the Scotland Yard authori- ties. On Saturday night the Royal Academy banquet, at which Sir Frederick Leighton presided, was attended by the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Cambridge, Earl Granville, Lord Northbrook, the Marquis of Salisbury, &c. The Prince of Wales, responding to the toast of his health, said his visit to Ireland, if a labour at all, was a labour of love. The Princess and himself met with as kind and loyal a reception as it could be the good fortune of anyone to meet with. Referring to the dilapidated dwellings he had visited in Dublin, the Prince intimated that the report of the Royal Commission would shortly be issued. On Saturday night, during a quarrel in London- derry, a sailor lad named Gallaher, aged 17, drew a clasped knife and stabbed another lad nimed Devany in the chest so severely that he blJc1 to death in a few minutes. Gallaher was immediately arrested. The first race for the twenty miles safety bicycle championship and 251, added money took place at the Belgrave-road Grounds, Leicester, on Saturday, in presence of about 3000 spectators. The following were the starters :—Battensby (Newcastle), Howell (Wolverhampton), Grose (Northampton), B. Keen (London), Newton (Wolverhampton), Vale (Wal- sall), Marriott (Wolverhampton), and Farndou (Wolverhampton). Battensby cut out the work till entering in the last lap, when Howell came ahead and with a fine spurt passed the Newcastle man, and getting the best of the struggle at the distance won a fine-race by twelve yards, Battensby second; Grose, third; and Farndon fourth. Winner's time for the twenty miles 63 min. 5 I-5see.

Thomasson, and Mr Storey. Mr Burt and Mr Labouchere were tellers 'for the minority. The Press Association states that it is commonly believed at Westminster that a private under- standing has already been mutually arrived at between the diplomatic representatives of Great Britain and Russia concerning the general character of the finding which the friendly Sovereign will be asked to ratify and announce in due form, thus pre- serving the dignity and amour proprc of the two Powers between whom the controversy arose. Prince Alexander Karageorgevics died on Sunday morning at the age of seventy-eight, at Temesvar, ill Hungary, in the presence of his sons, his daughter, and his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Montenegro.
