be Court, &i. The Duke and Duchess of Connaught visited the Queen at Balmoral on Monday. Following a custom hitherto observed on the occasion of the first visit to Balmoral of any of the members of the royal family after marriage, her Majesty met her royal children at Ballater station and drove with them to "The Highland Home." The ceremony of inaugurating the cairn erected on Craig Gowan, near Balmoral, on the occasion of the Duke of Connaught's wedding, was performed on Monday in the presence of the Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and the Princess Beatrice. At the conclusion of the ceremony, stones were added to the cairn by the Royal Family and other spectators. The Queen gave audience to Colonel Evelyn Wood, at Balmoral, on Tuesday, and conferred on him the honour of Knighthood. Colonel Buller received from her Majesty the Victoria Cross. The Prince of Wales and a distinguished party were entertained by Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar at Government House, Portsmouth, on Monday, on the occasion of the birth-day of Princess Olga, of Saxe- Weimar. His Royal Highness crossed from Cowes to Portsmouth in his yacht Hildegarde, and after the luncheon left for London. Prince Leopold, who is at present cruising about the coasts in the yacht Lively, on Monday landed at Portrush, and afterwards visited Londonderry. The Marquis of Lome, accompanied by the Princess Lousie, is at present on a visit to Toronto, where he reviewed the troops of the garrison on Tuesday. There were illuminations and general rejoicing at night in honour of the Governor General's visit. The newly-born heir to the dukedom of Xorfolk was on Monday baptised at the temporary chapel, Norfolk House, St. James's-square, in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends of the family. Cardinal Manning assisted at the ceremony.

In a letter to the Midlothian Liberal committee, Mr. Gladstone places himself at their disposal for com- mencing his campaign about the last week of November. ELGIN AND NAIBN.—Mr. H. F. A. Brodie, Conser- vative, and Sir G. Macpherson Grant, Liberal were on Wednesday nominated for Elgin and Nairn. The polling will take place on Wednesday. SPEECH BY THE CHANCKLLOK OF THE EXCHEQUER.— Addressing a meeting in Exeter, on Monday, in favour of the candidature of his son, the Chancellor of the Exchequer defended the policy of the Government. Alluding to the unfortunate disaster in Afghanistan, he said no one can help feeling the deepest sorrow for the gallant men who had perished at Cabul. So far as could be judged, the outbreak seemed to have been un- premeditated the Ameer appeared to have been entirely true to us, and was imploring our aid. That assistance would not be witheld, and doubtless our brave troops were by this time far on their way to the city of Cabul, whence the news woulc1 soon come of their having re- stored peace to that place. SPEECH RY THE SOLICITOR GENERAL.—1The Solicitor- General addressed a meeting of his constituents on Saturday at Launceston. Reviewing the work of the session, he admitted that much had been left undone, but contended that the Government were not responsible for the waste of time. He agreed with Mr. Gladstone that the Bankruptcy Law was defective, though he pointed out that the act was passed in 18G9, during Mr. Gladstone's administration. The Solicitor-General then referred to the Eastern question and the Berlin treaty, and claimed that had it not been for the policy of Lord Beaconsfield's Government Russia would have acquired a domination over the entire south-east of Europe. With regard to the Zulu war, it had been described as wicked and scandalous. In Sir Bartle Frere the country had a well-tried public servant, and let them not con- demn him unheard. After reading Sir Bartle's defence he characterised as absurd and unpatriotic such asser- tions as that the war was unjust and that England was interfering with the rights of humanity. Since Cetewayo had ascended the throne he had set every kind of reason and humanity at defiance.

Sm ROWLAND HILL, K.C.B.—(London F. Warne and Co., Bedford-street, Strand).—A biographical and historical sketch of Sir Rowland Hill has just been issued in a cheap form. The substance of the little work was originally written for a Birmingham newspaper, and the articles at the time they appeared elicited from the members of the family, the warmest commendations. In the preface the author well observes now singular it is that great discoveries like Hill's occur just at the proper time and how events, having apparently but little connection with them, happen almost simulta- neously to assist in their development. But for the in- vention of steel pens a few years before, the enormous amount of writing consequent upon the postal changes could not have been effected, as the whole world would not have afforded a sufficient supply of quills for the purpose.

THE ADVANCE INTO TURKEY.—-The Austrian troops have crossed the frontiers, and on Monday afternoon they entered the sandjakof Novibazar at several places. Their advance was not opposed, and at Preboj they met with a very friendly reception from both the Turkish authorities and the inhabitants. On the approach of the Austrians the Turkish soldiers evacuated the guard- houses. BULGARIA.

THE WAR BETWEEN CHILI AND PERU.—Latest news from Valparaiso points to probable patched up peace between Chili on the one hand and Bolivia and Peru on the other. The mediation of the United States ministers accredited to Chili and Peru has been offered. In the meantime, the Chilian fleet, from which so much was anticipated, seems to be cruising about in a hopeless effort to catch the dreaded Huascar, or prevent the landing of arms at Iquique.

I IRON AND COAL. ( J MINERA MINES. The report of the directors of the Minera Mining Company has just been issued, and the only mystery about it is, why it has not been issuedbefore. In placing the report of the directors in juxtaposition with that of the engineer, the shareholders must be considerably puzzled to know on which they ought to place reliance. The directors, for example, state that "there is nothing in the state of the metal markets to justify them in anticipating a permanent rise in prices of any consider- able amount; and until a favourable change in this respect takes place, your board consider they will best serve your interests by conducting their, operations in such a way as to maintain the mines in sound working order, keeping up at the same time their present system of exploration." On the other hand the engineer says aspect of the lead trade is now more encourag- ing than it has been for many months past; and with a general improvement in the trade of the country, we may look for a higher range of prices." The directors regard matters in a doleful light, but the engineer, who knows far more about them, comes to the fore with a cheerful countenance, and says, "we enter upon the current year with better prospects than • we did at the time of the last annual meeting." While the engineer pitches his song in a cheerful key, the directors remind us of the man who, when called upon to give out a suitable hymn at a harvest thanksgiving", made choice of the one commencing, Oh what a wretched land is this, That yields us no supplies. Considering this is a mine that has yielded 2,483 tons of lead ore during the year, and 2,773 tons of blende, and promises to do much more in the future, and at a better profit consequent upon the improved price of lead, we do not think there is so much reason for lamen- tation as the directors seem to think. It is the share- holders who really mourn, and the directors refuse to comfort them by foregoing their fees. In the meantime the directors are flourishing the pruning knife in other directions, but as regards the tree that bears their own emoluments they figuratively cry, "Touch not a single bough." The miners have had their wages shorn of fair proportions, and have submitted without a mur- mur," so the report says, though whether the directors would have exhibited equal resignation had some pro- fane hand touched their fees does not appear. And yet one would have thought that, in calling upon other people to suffer reductions, some sort of an example would have been shown by the board, as it most certainly has been by the shareholders. We find that at the last meeting the sum of £300 was voted them for their services, the resolution being secon- ded by one of the company's officials. If officials are to vote their own remuneration it is time that the meetings at which they do so should be held in some civilised spot where the shareholders can reach, and not far away in the recesses of the Welsh hills. This meeting was held on the mine, and, so far as we can trace, of the thirteen persons who attended it, ten were salaried officers of the company, including six directors (and we are at a loss to know why such a mass of collective wisdom should be needed for so small a concern), the engineer, two managers of the mine, and the secretary, leaving only three independent shareholders. If any justification were wanted for the remarks we made a fortnight or so ago, it stands incarnate in the constitu- tion of this company. It is absurd to suppose that there can be an independent expression of opinion, when a shareholder finds himself at a meeting of thirteen persons, of whom no fewer than ten are pecuniarily in- terested in the maintenance of the existing regime. Under such a state of things, all the independent share- holder can do is to "collapse, "move a vote of thanks to somebody, and retire as quickly as he can. Surely, the directors must have been struck with the absurd position in which they were placed when it devolved upon one of the officials to second the motion for their remuneration. One of the officials of the company also seconded the re-election of the auditor—a resolution which is invariably put into the hands of the share- holders, for he is their own peculiar servant. And one of the officials of the company also wound up the proceedings by proposing the thanks of the meet- ing to the directors "for their constant attention to the interests of the shareholders and the mining property under their charge and to Mr. Martin for his conduct in the chair." We hope the directors are duly sensible of the compliment paid them, and will not suffer any feeling of delicacy as to the composition of the meeting to detract from the enjoy- ment they must have experienced in receiving it. Generally speaking, the_ reports are full, and contain much valuable information, particularly that by the engineer, Mr. Taylor, and his statements as to the past, and notably his prog- nostications as to the future, are, we think, far more to be relied upon than those of the board, for the simple reason that he has had a vast experience of the lead market both at home and abroad. It will be pleasant to the shareholders to learn from him that "The calculations of the ore taken away, and of that discovered during the last year, show that there has been no diminution in the resources; on the contrary, that there has been a slight increase. The quantity of lead ore in reserve last August was stated to be 1,076 tons. At the recent measurement it was computed at 1,085 tons." It is further pleasing to know that although it is very difficult to estimate, at the present moment, what the results of the explorations of the current year may bring to light, there are some points of consider- able promises in this large range of mines from which good discoveries may be looked for." The mines are in an encouraging position, and to- wards this result the directors only seem to have con- tributed a report which is at variance with that of their experienced engineer, and to have taken with punctu- ality the fees voted to them at meetings con- stituted as we have described. If they wish to do a real service to the company, and to signalise the next year by some act commensurate with the emoluments they receive, It would be in the direction of obtaining some decrease in those royalties which last year absorbed £,¡57 while the balance of profits was only £ 3,570.— The Mining World. BARROW-IN-FURNESS, Monday.—The iron trade of this district is, industrially speaking, in a more satis- factory position than for some time past. This morning the market is firmer in. tone, and it is reported that makers have refused orders which, while they will furnish their works with employment for some months, will at the same time make it next to impossible for them to give quotations for immediate delivery, and as to forward orders, makers are asking improved prices, and in some instances they are showing a disinclination to do much business ahead, in hope that the revival in demand experienced at the present may be of a perma- nent and improving character. Steelmakers are busy in the rail trade, a large proportion of the output being for foreign markets. Iron ore is steady, but the pits are not fully worked. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—The pig iron market has not been so animated to-day, and has not followed Glasgow in the upward movement. No. 3 pigs were sold at 34s. Gel., though 35s. was the quoted price for early delivery. A considerable quantity has been sold during the last few days at 35s. Gd. net for delivery over first six months of next year. More iron has been sold on American account. To-day the Tees Side Ironworks, M iddlesborough, were offered for sale, but were not disposed of, the offers being far below the reserve prices. For the whole of the works £40,000 were offered, but the reserve was thrice that sum. The stock of Cleveland pig iron in Connal's stores to-day is 82,300 tons. The finished iron trade is hardly so active at present. Steam coals are in much better request. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—NO pigs of much value were to be bought this afternoon under 2s. to 3s. rise upon the late minimum. Common bars also were up upon the former minimum by from 5s. to 7s. 6d. Sheets were not bought freely, and makers were seeking specifications. Prices of .sheets were firm; so, too, were galvanised roofing sheets. Spelter was offered at 119 12s. Gd. delivered. An order for 1000 tons of baling strip has been placed.

AGRICULTURE. AGRICULTURAL AFFAIRS. The address on general topics in agriculture delivered last week at Denbigh by Professor Tanner before the members of the Vale of Clwyd Chamber of Agriculture, is deserving of more attention than the usual addresses given on this subject, and is another indication, amongst the many, of the deep interest taken now-a-days regard- ing matters agricultural. The Professor, than whom there is probably no better authority in the science and practice of British agriculture, is the examiner in agri- cultural science on behalf of the Educational Depart- ment of the Government, the author of several practical works on various branches of agriculture, and he is besides, the respected guide and instructor of thousands of students in agriculture. Hence it is that his utter- ances contain much thought for reflection, and all that he says on this important subject is regarded with special consideration. It is to such experienced authori- ties as the Professor and his active colleagues in the profession, to whom agriculturists look with more than ordinary attention for practical guidance and valuable suggestions in all that relates to farming, and the productive cultivation of the soil. It is much to be wished that the farmers of North Wales had more frequent opportunities of listening to lectures of this kind, and, doubtless, those living in the Vale of Clwyd will reap a harvest of good from the Professor's address. It will encourage them to plod onwards amidst their passing difficulties, stimulate their enterprise. v taem to hope for better days in farmir It is a ff theme of Professor Tanner, which may be :bsor\'e: in most of the addresses that he delivers from time to time, to dwell particularly on the necessity of beCOr1;i acquainted with the sciences ap- plicable to a^rio -'tv!tc, before a man can be made into a prac'JUi' pacceo jful farmer in these days of science, c-perfmem, »;:d keen competition; also, that as there L ye other busjnesr, that offers such a wide range for the b, c'-f'eut and observant man as farming, so, on the other hand, there is no other industry that demands so much scientific knowledge. Hence it is laid down by the leading authorities on the subject that the best I foundation for practicallfarming for makingj the soil productive to its fullest extent systematic study of the science and principles of agi 'iculture. This special instruction is now effected in soirn measure, as Professor Tanner pointedly directs attention to, by the science classes established by the Education' Department of the Government, the results of which promise to mark a fresh starting point in the agriculture of this country. After what has been said by the Professor regarding the advantages of classes for tuition in agricultural science, we shall doubtless hear soon of local cissses for this desirable object being formed, where not a'.ready existing, at different towns in this district. FVr the good of agriculture, in the Vale of Clwyd in particular, it is to be earnestly hoped that no time will be losr by the local Chamber of Agriculture and others residing in the Vale—so notable for its farming and productive soil—in carrying out arrangements for opening_ suc.% classes at suitable places, such as Denbigh, Ruthin, St. Asaph, and Rhyl, where numbers of pupils are likely to be had. This, at all events, would be one practical step in the direction pointed out in the address referred to, and the sooner the step is taken the more creditable and bene- ficial it will be for all concerned. This valuable scheme of education is being promoted and steadily encouraged by an increasing number of agricultural chambers and societies throughout the kingdom. It should be re- membered, also, that the Government gives aid to these local classes, under certain conditions, by offering scholarships and by grants of money. A glance at the papers prepared for the annual examinations issued by the Government examiners, will suggest at once that those students who are able to answer such questions will have a good knowledge of the science of agriculture and its principles, qualifying them to carry out such knowledge in practice, with advantage to themselves and ultimate benefit to the country. This system, so happily begun, is already stimulating study and en- quiry in all directions, and thereby promoting general skill and_ advancement in agriculture. The present teachers, it is true, are limited who are duly qualified to teach agricultural science. This is one drawback to a more rapid extension of the classes, but the necessary teachers are gradually increasing, as the reports of the Science and Art Department testify, so that this scheme of agricultural education is progressing in a way which will in due time bring about gratifying results in British agriculture. The address now under consideration, the publishedre- port of which has been considerably condensed, has a special bearing in the present phases of our modern agriculture. The various topics also, were treated in a practical and suggestive manner, and worthy of the particular attention of all those who are ever mindful of the history and the traditions of British farming, and wishful to see it constantly improving in every possible way. There was one reference in the address relating to the results of American competition, to the effect that it is not likely to be so keenly felt in the future by enterprising British farmers as it was thought would be the case. _This assuring expression of opinion must have been a solid crumb of comfort to some of those listening t attentively to the Professor. In these anxious times, 1 when farmers are reflecting on the doubts and difficulties < surrounding them, every ray of hope is eagerly wel- ] comed. Even some among the solid and steady going i farmers are apt to give way to gloomy views and i harbour jealous feelings towards their American com- i petitors, and in so doing they unconsciously affirm 1 what one authority on the subject lately wrote Wh:1ta pity we began importing- this "American," John Bull ate twice too much before But now the l'ankees cram him all the more, t And make his yellow niOHPy go If For that which we so well can grow. It is easy to imagine that many British farmers, in 1 their present state of mind, will readily join in those sentiments by exclaiming, So say all of we In the present state of feeling, respecting the condi- -1 tion of farmers, and as to agricultural reforms, it is especially desirable that the various questions relating to them should be carefully sifted and calmly considered. The public interest in agriculture appears to be greater and more intense than ever; the present condition of affairs, and the immediate prospects afford serious topics ( of discussion on the platform, and at our fireside, as well t as in the press. So goes the agricultural world as it is, s whilst a crowd of witnesses continue declaiming as to s the state in which it should be. It is evident that the t public have become alive to the interest felt towards i farming, economy, and general agricultural affairs and J this being the case it is more likely that some of the most urgently needed reforms will receive that earnest cf attention which is due to them, with a view of arriving at an acceptable solution. e One practical outcome of such suggestive addresses as J those usually given by Professor Tanner, is not only to ( keep awake the public interest in this absorbing question, but also to direct the attention of agriculturists them- a. selves more closely to the interests involved in their own c profession, and in relations to each other. There are so r many "vexed questions" in farming that the keen dis- cussions about them are still continued with more or less vigour and occasional satisfactory results. In the present state of the modern development of agriculture, f a farmer has need to be well drilled in the principles of J his art, in order to carry them out successfully in a practice. Besides which, he must be duly supported by good sense and industry to make the most of his circum- a stances. One description, amongst others, of an efficient | v agriculturist is—he who under any given agricultural circumstances best anticipates the future, most efficiently acts in the present, and accurately appreciates the past. 's It is a healthy sign of the day, and an indication of the sterling interest now taken in our greatest industry, ( that the public journals, members of Parliament, and c and other public men are invited in its behalf, and in 1 keeping fresh and prominent the various agricultural a questions, such as the relations between landowner and tenant, freedom in farming, agricultural education, reformation of the land laws, and so on.. This sus- ■» tained interest and activity means progress, and re- formation in the early future. The knotty problems f tliat perplex the minds of men personally concerned in agriculture, demand patient and persevering efforts for c their solution. Now that agriculturists, and their } active supporters in the press have thus gone straight to the point which needs reform, it is to be hoped that r their efforts will not cease until agricultural matters c and land laws are brought into a satisfactory and t practical shape, and so as to meet the exigencies of 1 farmers and needs of the times. ( Until the last few j-ears the majority of farmers seemed indifferent and undecided in regard to the con- j dition and prospects of their business. All this is now charged. Thanks to the active exertions of such leaders as Professors Tanner, Church, Wrightson, j Alderman Mechi, and other noteworthy agriculturists, supported by the public spirit and outspoken declara- tions of its own special organs, the agricultural body I has at length been aroused from its former apathy to a more lively sense of its position, its just claims, and the special interests in its keeping. Hence there is now a i fair prospect that the whole subject of agriculture will s be fully considered, properly developed, and dealt with in a manner commensurate with its interests and im- portancc. FFEnl. N 8th September, 1879. ] ———— 1 THE MARQUIS OF HARTINGTON AND AGRICULTURE.— < The Marquis of Hartington spoke at a meeting of the s Radnorshire Agricultural Association at Penybont on i Friday, and in the course of his speech (after an ex- i pression of regret at his projected political severance of t his connection with the constituency) referred to the t prevalent agricultural distress. His lordship advised the farmers not to be buoyed up by the hope that the 1 result of the inquiries of the recently-appointed com- mission would be a return to protection. Protection, he said, was dead, and if farming was unprofitable it could, only be re-habilitated by a complete revision of leases. ] LORD^ KILMOREY AND HIS CHESHIRE TENANTS.— Lord Kilmorey, who owns some property on the < borders of Cheshire and Shropshire, which he never visits, has taken a curious method of ascertaining how t far the agricultural depression has affected the letting, value of his farms. He has instructed his ayrent to < serve notice on the tenants of all the farms, and while trusting that the greater part of the tenancies may be ( renewed, he promises that where this is not clone] reasonable compensation will be given for unexhausted ] improvements. The notices have been served to the j annoyance and distress of the tenants, many of whom > have lived upon the estate all or the greater part of 1 their lives. It is stated that so far none of the tenants have sent in applications for the renewal of their tenancies. CHESTER HORSE SALE.—Mr. J. J. Steward held his monthly sale of horses and carriages at the Grosvenor Paddock on Thursday week, when 37 horses and a number ] of carriages and a quantity of saddlery, etc, was offered for sale. A large company of gentlemen in the district and numerous dealers were present, and although the prices were much lower, a great number of horses, changed hands. Four horses, the property of Lord, Delamere, were offered. One a handsome grey mare, bought by Col. Tyacke for £ 27 5s. a grand made cob realized £29 8s. Two Belgian mares and foals, the property of his Grace the Duke of Westminster, K.G., sold for £34 13s. and S30 9s. respectively, the buyer being Mr. Henry Taylor, of Sandycroft, who also purchased mare and foal, the property of Mr. J. Massey, for £2.5. A very useful chesnut gelding was bought very cheaply by Mr. Williams, of Runcorn, for £26 9s. 6d. A very fine bay mare, described as a good hunter, made £42; and other useful ride and drive horses and ponies sold at from B15 15s to £13 10s. Most of the carriages were disposed of at satisfactory prices. THE CORN TRADE.—The M'ark Lane Express says- Advantage has been eagerly taken of the few fine days of last week to commence cutting wheat and barley, and, except in the northern counties, harvest is now being actively carried on. A low temperature has prevailed at night, and occasional frosts have damaged potatoes and unripe grain, where wet had lodged. Provided no disastrous return of rain takes place to put a stop to carting, some samples of the new wheat may be looked for in a few days. In Scotland many fields are still quite green, and harvest will be at least a month to six weeks later than usual. Both wheat and barley will prove exceptionally deficient in point of yield. A great want of confidence exists in the wheat trade, which is to be attributed to the fact that while the excessive arrivals and shipments from America exist as actualities, the exact deficiency of the English crop is for the present mainly a matter of conjecture. Prices have fluctuated I but little, although that little has been in buyers' favour, I but not to the extent of more than Gd, per quarter. When the American supplies become absorbed by European requirements, higher rates will probably prevail.

dispute in the tinplat-e trade has been amicab settled. I A movement is reported to be general among Scotch miners in favour of union and a restricted output. The Forest of Dean iron trade is improving, as a I result of the better inquiry for iron. Messrs. Crawshav anc' ironmasters, have now started their mines near Cinderford. The mines were closed three months 10, and on Monday the horses were again sent down urto the workings. The Financier records the following rise in the value °| g%lning shares between the 1st of August and the 2nd of September Roman Gravels from 7h to 8|; Tanker- ville, ^from 2i to 3^; Van, from 14i to"l5 £ Dolcoath, from A?) to 33j. The rise is interesting as pointing, we may hope, in some feeble war, to the revival of trade, j

The directors of the Brighton Aquariam Company have received a letter from the Home Office statizi- that the penalties for opening on Sundav which "were recovered in a recent action will be remitted. THE ADMISSION OF CHILDREN INTO REFORM- ATORIES.—The Inspector of Reformatory and Industrial Schools, in his annual report, makes special reference to the law regulating the admission of children above ten years of age to reformatories, which requires that they be previously sent to serve ten days'imprisonment. He suggests that the age should be raised to twelve years, offenders below that age to be sent to industrial schools, The advantages of this would be twofold-the lessened cost of maintainance, and the moral benefit to the youth from not being too early associated with older and more hardened offenders. INCREASE IN BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS.—The Board of Trade returns for August show that the total value of the exports for the month was £ 17,327,308 against £ 17,303,538 in August, 1878, and £ 17,740,602 in August, 1877. The total value of the exports for the fiist eight months of the year was £ 122,762,423, against £ 128,3(34,795 in 1878, and £ 130,568,093 in 1877. The total value of the imports for August was £ 28,335,009 against £ 29,100,823 in August, 1878, and £31,944,411 in August, 1877. The total value of the imports for the first eight months of the year was 1:231,622.2.4, against £ 255,386,491 in 1878, and E264,296, 634 in 1877.

THE ZULU WAR. The royal mail steamship Pretoria, from Capetown, arrived off Plymouth on Tuesday. Although the news she brings has been to a great extent forestalled by telegrams from Madeira, some items are fresh and of considerable importance. Colonel Black's report on the burial of the dead at Isandula confirms all that has been written on the heroic stand made by the gallant men who fell overpowered by hordes on all sides. The most important news, however, refers to Sir Garnet Wolseley's political tactics as distinct from his military. The question has to how to dispose of Cetewayo (who, however, is not yet caught) has been exercising his mind, and also how to dispose of his country. According to the Standard and Mail, Zululand is to be divided into five parts, each part to be in future ruled over by a chief, who will be under the guidance of an official English resident.

ATTACK OX THE BRITISH EMBASSY AT CABeL. The Calcutta ca*-espondent of the Times telegraphed, on Sunday :—Most serious news from Cabul is published this morning. Certain Afghan regiments, which for some time past, owing to_ their pay being heavily in arrear, have been manifesting a spirit of insubordina- tion, broke out, it appears, in open mutiny on Wednes- day and attacked the British Residency in the Bala Hissar. The first intelligence of the outbreak was brought by a Ghilzai messenger, who arrived at Ali-khel on Thursday night, and reported the matter to Captain Conolly, the political ofhcer there, adding that the envoy and his escort were defending themselves. On Friday night, letters from the Ameer reached Captain Conolly, the substance of which is said to have been as follows :-Certain regiments, which had already shown a mutinous spirit and had made repeated and violent demands for pay, had assembled in the Bala Hissar to receive arrears. Suddenly, and apparently without a warning, they broke into open mutiny and stoned their officers. They then attacked the British Residency, but were received with a heavy and effective fire by the escort. The repulse, however, was cnly temporary. The mutineers were joined by the city mob, and, after plundering the arsenal and magazine and the Ameer s stores, the united bodies renewed the attack on the Residency. The Ameer states that he was taken entirely by surprise and did his best to restore order, but in vain. He sent General Daoud Shah to Major Cavagnari's assistance, but the General was attacked by the mob, unhorsed, and so severely injured that it is believed he cannot recover. The Ameer then despatched his own son with the Governor of Cabul and other persons of influence, but the mutineers and the mob had got beyond all control and the attempt at interference on the part of those sent bv the Ameer was unsuccessful. T3ie only news yet received regarding °nv°y an<^ Party is that the defence of the Residency was kept up all W ednesuaj'. That eveniii"' the building took fire, but as to the effect of the fire on the defence nothing is yet known. The Ameer, in letters dated Thursday morning, says that lie had no certain news as to the fate of the British officers. He writes in great distress and says that he is himself besieged. The news of these unfortunate occurrences reached Simla by telegram from Captain Conolly early on Friday morning. The Government is loosing no time in taking active measures to remedy the disaster as far as possible. Most fortunately, the' headquarters of the Candahar field force have net yet evacuated that city. General Stewart has, therefore, been directed to hold his position there and such portions of his force as have commenced their return match have been instruc- ted to re-assemble at Candahar. The troops in the Ivhyber and at Peshawur have been ordered to prepare for an immediate march on Cabul under the command of General Roberts, who started from Simla on Saturday, and who will at once be strongly reinforced. General Massay, commanding at Ali-khel, is directed to hold himself ready for an immediate movement on Shutar- gar dan. There is no doubt, therefore, that sure and swift retribution will fall upon the mutineers and that speedy assistance will reach the Ameer if he continues faithful. The India Office has received a telegram from the iceroy, confirming the report of the massacre of Sir Louis Cavagnari, together with his Staff and escort, but of the latter, nine troopers, who were out foraging, escaped.^ It seems that the mutineers, being unable to storm the British Embassy, set fire to a lov»\ r door- | way, and when that gave way they swarmed into the upper storey, overwhelmed the defenders and sacked the place. Three mutinous Afghan regiments are stated to have marched from Cabul, but whither is not stated, Ayub Khan and other chiefs are suspected of having been concerned in the revolt. Many of the Continental newspapers, particularly those in the Russian interest, make comments on the situation in Afghanistan. The Novd declares that, according to the latest advices from Simla, Yakoob Khan is suspected as having been the instigator of the rebellion in Cabul, and it suggests the difficulty will be to define the limits of the satisfaction which England will demand. The St. Petersburg Gazette thinks that this evi.-nt will obliterate the scientific frontier of India, and necessitate the occupation of the wh ,Ie of Afghanis- tan by British troops. Such a step, however, would be incompatible with the assurances given to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, with whom, the Gazette adds, there must be an understanding regarding England's measures of satisfaction—an understanding which would finally put an end to the independence of Afghanistan, The present tiiiit, the Gazette adds, affords an oppor- tunity for dividing Afghanistan between the two Powers, and destroying by mutual arrangement the present intermediate zone. Confirmatory details rsspecting the attsck were furnished by natives to the Indian Government, and j telegraphed to London. It seems that the gateway leading into the courtyard of the Residency was burst open, but a resolute stand was made by the inmates. The assailants were checked for a time, but when the defenders charged their opponents, sword in hand, they were all slain, and the place was wrecked. There is no further news of the Ameer, who is believed to be in privacy with a few faithful Sirdars but the natives represent that the regiments had got beyond his control. Renter's telegram stated that twelve Afghan regi- ments took part in the attack on the Residency, and that they suffered a loss of upwards of two hundred before Major Cavagnari and his staff was overpowered. Lord Cranbrook presided on Wednesday over a meet- ing of the Indian Council.
