NEWS BY TELECRAPY.,
IRELAND, Siico, Noy. 24.
The prisoners arrested last week and lodged in jail here, were charged bofore the Magistrates to-day with sedition. Monroe, (: C., conducted the prosecution. The en- quiry will be very protracted
Parnell and a number of priests were present in Court. There was no demon- stration. The prisoners were brought to Court under a heavy escort. The crowd is so great in the city that extra police have been drafted.
Mr. Rea, Solicitor for Belfast, himself for a long time a political prisoner, defends Killen. The prisoners all looked well and chatted unconcernedly.
The Court room was crowded, although tickets were necessary to secure admission.
Mr. Louden, counsel for Daly, applied for a copy of the notes which the Govern- ment short-hand writer had taken at the meeting where sedition was charged. The application was granted.
Mr. Monree is epening the case for the prosecution pointed out that sedition meant not only violence but anything calculated to incite disaffection or to set one class against another. In describing the charac- ter of the meeting at Garteen, he alluded to the alleged use of inflammatory language and to the presence of men armed with im- itation pikes and carrying banners inscribed vith disloyal mottoes.
A number of policemen were then ex- amined to prove the general character of the Gartesn meeting and the incendiary words on which the indictments against the prisoners are founded. In consequence of the Magistrates leaving the Bench dur- ing a short pause caused by the indisposi- tion of a witness, Mr, Louden applied for the release of the prisoners, as the Magis- trates left the bench without adjourning the Court or remanding the prisoners. The application was overruled.
After the policemen had been examined, Munroe applied for the committal of Daly who was accordingly committed for trial, bail being aecepted. :
Killen and Davitt were remanded for further examination.
On the news of Daly’s liberation reaching Castiebar, there were great rejoicings. Il- luminations were prepared to celebrate his arrival. The County of Mayo will insist upon his being its future representative in Parliament.
Daly was required to give £500 security and find two surities in £250 each to an- swer the charges against him at the next Sligo assizes.
Dustin, Noy. 24. A report is current that the Government has arranged to advance money to tenants on the scurity of their landlords, to be re- paid in a term of years.
UNITED STATES. Eureka, Nov. 24.-
On Friday, John Chamberlain, in pos- session of a wood ranche 30 miles from here, was attacked by Rebert ~Brown, who claimed the property, supported by two other men, armed with repeating rifles. Chamberlain’s thigh was broken at the first discharge, but he maintained the fight on his knees with six shooters at two shoi- guns, killing Brewn and at the same moment falling himself.
Nrw York, Nov. 24.
A Pottsville dispatch says the Irishmen of the Pennsylvania coal and iron regions are intensely excited over the recent ar- rests in Ireland. In nearly every village the Irish nationalists have lodges. Meet- ings are to be held to-morrow to take ac- tion. Members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians are said to be anxious for en- rollment for an invasion into Canada.

Four. Goop Ruzasons.—Here are Dr. Thomas Guthrie’s excellent’ reasons for being a-total abstainer :—‘‘ I have tried both ways; 1 speak from experience. I am in good spirits because I take no spirit ; Lam hale because I use no‘ale; I take no antidote in the form of drugs because I take no poison in the form of drinks. Thus though in the first instance I sought only the public good, I have found my own also since I became a total abstainer. I have these four reasons fer continuing to be one: Ist my health is stronger : 2nd my head is clearer ; 3rd my heart is lighter; 4th my purse is heavier.”

In the engagement between the Peruvian Huascar and the Chilian ironclads of which We gaye an account some time ago, Admiral G:au had an arm and a leg carried away by the fourth shot that was fired, and as he was being borne to the cockpit another struck him and tore his body to pieces. Only his head and part pf his body was re- covered. When the Huascar reached
. i Antofagasta one turret was found to have |
been destroyed, bat the engines were safe.
The Almirante Cochrane sustained serious | damages, and ten of her crew were wounded '
during the engagement. Most of the officers and crew of the Huascar were either killed or disabled, only: four ofticers being unhurt.

A Reat Mammora.—A Mr. McKenzie, of Boularderie, C. B., hasa mammoth po- tato measuring fourteen inches in length, and weighing 3lbs. 7 ozs.
It is announced that one of the planks of the platform of the Liberal party of the future is to be minority representation. We can quite appreciate the anxiety of our friends, the Liberals, for this new principle. — Montreal Gazette.
The Winnipeg Times of November 15th states that Mr. Roderick Campbell, corres- pondent of that paper, arrived from the Far West (Saskatchewan Valley) on the preceding night, and reported everything quiet among the Indians of that country.
A Mr. Foster, who carries on business as milliner in Chatham under the maiden name of his wife, M. L..Nisley, has recently forfeited to the Customs authorities dry goods to the value of $500, and been fined $200 besides, for smuggling. This is not ve believe, the first offense.
A French journalist estimates that there are 24,188 newspapers published in the world, Of this total he allots to America, 9,129 ; Asia, 387, Africa, 50, Europe, 13,- 622; of which latter, :2,509 are credited to England, 2,000 to France, 1,226 to Italy, 1,200 to Austria, 500 to Ruscia.
Two young women were to travel with- out a male escort, from Aurelius. N. Y., to San Francisco. Fearful of annoyance, ihey thought it would be a safeguard if one had her hair cropped and wore men’s clothes. This plan was carried out but the decep- tion was imperfect, and in Chicago they were arrested as suspicious characterss
Moscow society is just now exercised by the suicide of one of its brightest orna- ments, the young and lovely Countess Vera Koscheleff, who disappeared two days after her betrothal to Count Herman and wrote that ‘‘she was going to bathe in a river on her Crimea estate, and would never re- turn.” Her body was found there, sewn in a large straw sack, with the seams in the interior, showing that shé had sewn herself deliberately in it, as.a letter near her said, “from her extreme fear of crawfish and water-beetles.
Smatt Pox ar Moncron.—Our Mone- ton correspondent, writing yesterday after- noon, states: “Drs. Ross and Botsford re- ported three cases of small pox to the Board of Health this afternoon. The name of the
street. The house has been put in quar- antine. One of the cases is fully de- veloped and the eruption well defined. The other two are still incipient. All of the victims are females—one a grown woman, It is rumored the parties took the disease from articles received from friends in St. John.” .
Dean Stanley writes, in the Nineteenth Century : *‘The Order of the Knighthood vf which the banner hangs in Westminster Abbey, and which is distinguished from the other orders as the ‘most honorable,’ is ealled the Order of the Bath. Why? It is because in the early days of chivalry the knights, who were enlisted in the defence of right against_wrong, truth against false- hood, honor against dishonor, were laid in a bath on the evening before they were ad- mitted to the order, and thoroughly washed in order to show how bright and pure ought to be the lives of those who engage ina | noble enteprise,”’
Many years ago, while Lamartine was yet alive, Victor Hugo received a letter with the singular address: ** To the Greatest Post of the Age.” Without opening it, he sent it to the Rue de l'Universite, where Lamartine then jresided. The latter not wishing to be outdone in generosity by his rival, returned the letter to Victor Hugo, and thus the enigmatical epistle kept going back and forth for some time, and it is not known which of the poets in the end con- cluded to open it. I venture to express the belief, however, that if it had arrived in 11879, instead of 1849, Victor Hugo would have cpened it without a moments delib- eration
In reference tothe reeent interview of the representatives of the Direct French Cable Company with Sir John A. McDon- ald, it is stated that it appears that under the Electric Cable Act, British Companies alone are allowed to land cables within the limits of the Dominion, yet doubts are en- tertained as to its legal interpretation in denying the privilege to foreign companies. At any rate there is little or no doubt, so far as can be learned, as to the ultimate successful result of this application, which merely involves a question of procedure. It is not the intention of ‘the Direct French Cable Company to run a new ovean line for this purpose, but to-extend cable connexion from St. Pierre, Miquelon, to the mainland of Nova Scotia in addition to their present connexion between that island and Cape Cod. It is understood that the special fea-
ture of this company, if successful, will be a modification of the press rates of toll be- . tween the Old and the New World.
