Frum the Khyber Pass.

Kuyser Pass, Nov. 21—Afternoon. At daylight Gen. Brown stood on Little

‘Plain, beyond Jumrood, watching march to

the fort pickets of the enemy. His cavalry

was visible on the top of Shagar Ridge be- yond the range. The advance guard

marched briskly on and presently rested on the height, whence at 10 o’clock skirmish- ing fire opened on the enemy’s picquet. The latter retired. After a desultory reply, our forces, pressing on and occasionally firing, reached Shagai Ridge, whence Ali Musjid was visible at noon. Ali Musjid fired the first shell, which burst in the air ; the second shell flew over the flag-staff on Shagai’s Ridge and fell without bursting beyond. A long spell was necessary to allow heavy battery to come up, and the interval was utilized by horse artillery in placing guns on height to our right of the tort. Ali Musjid replied, and firing became somewhat brisk. Meanwhile there was firing heard to left of the fort of Ali Mus- jid, and some persons conjectured it was McPherson’s turning movement on our right coming into operation, but the Af- ghans about fort Ali Musjid held their ground, although thus apparently threatened on flank and front. The Afghans replied with spirit from Fort Ali Musjid at first, but afterwards they slacked. At one o'clock the forty-pounders reached the scene, as also the Magenaiss nine-pound- ers. The horse guns then moved off the ridge and gave place to a nine-pounder bat- tery, while the forty-pounders played against the right wing of the Afghan position. The Afghan gnns slowlo but steadily re- plied, making good practice, especially from their seven-ponnders in the centre bastion. About 2 o'clock, two forty-pounders and shells crashed into the central bastion and crumbled a great portion of it, apparently dismounting the gun which had been so stub born. Soon after two o’clock the in fantry advanced briskly. The 4th Brigade took the left slopes of the valley, pressing on through the rocks towards Fort Ali Mus jid, while the 3rd Brigade took the right side.

When the last rocky ridge on the left slope was crossed, a rocky plateau followed nearly up to the foot of Ali Musjid rock. The skirmishers pushed on steadily, firing briskly and evoking a sharp reply from the enemy, who were studding the rock strewn slopes. Meanwhile Menderson’s battery, moving on along the bed of the stream, had come into action. Four guns, previously silenced, came into action, and the enemy developed guns in new places.

In view of the expected co-operation from two brigades despatched on the turning movement and the sun setting while as yet much had to be done, operations were re- luctantly suspended till to morrow, precau- tions being taken to protect our positions and troops bivouacking where they stood on our left. The third brigade had gained position very close to the right flank of Ali Musjid, and, indeed, they were almost within storming distance.

Lonvon, Nov. 22. The Pall Mall Gazette is informed that the Cabinet Council to-day decided to sum- mon Parliament to meet in December, in order to produce the Afghan papers. Lanore, Noy. 22. The proclamation of the Viceroy of India which is published, recounts the history of the relations between India and Afghanis- tan during the last ten years. Itsays that, in return for kindness in our actions and intentions, as witnessed by the Ameer’s reception at Umballa, by the material aid afforded him from time to time, and by the free commerce with India accorded to the Afghans, we gained only ill-will and dis- courtesy, the Ameer openly and assidiously attempts by words and deeds to stir up re- ligious hatred and bring about war upon the British Empire in India, and met our at- tempts to promote friendly relations with open dignity and defiance. The Ameer mistaking for weakness the long forbear- ance of the British Government, thus the deliberately incurred its just resentment. With surdars and people of Afghanistan, the Indian Government has no quarrel as they have given no offence. The inde- dependence of Afghanistan will be res- pected, but the Government of India can not tolerate that any other power should interfere in the internal affairs of Afghanis- tan. Upon the Ameer Shere Ali alone rests the responsibility of having exchanged friendship for the hostility of the Empress of India. Sr. Pererspure, Noy. 22. It isrumored that Count Heyden, Chief of Staff, will replace Gen. Milutine as Min- ister of War. CoNSTANTINOPLE, Noy. 22. The Turkish Ambassador to Russia will take to St. Petersburg a letter from the Sultan, thanking the Czar for his promise to observe the Berlin Treaty stipulations,

and begging him to stop the Macedonian insurrection. Betrast, Nov. 22. The firm of Mitchell Bros., flax spinners and power loom weavers, have failed; liabi- lities abont £80,000. BristoL, Nov. 22. The British Steamship Company will dis- continue their line to New York during the winter.

The British Advance towards Cabul

Readers, with a map of Afghanistan in their hands, will readily find Cabul, cen- trally situated and the capital of the Ameer. Looking to the right, almost in a direct line, wil be seen Jellalabad, and further southward on the border between Afghan- istan andthe Punjaub is Peshawur. Di- rectly south of Jellalabad, and consequent- ly not so far east as Peshawur, is ‘hull; and northwest of it is the Khurum Valley. Immediately to the west of Thull is Fort Kapion. A little south-west of Peshawur is Kohat, and directly north of Kohat and to the south east of Jellalabad is the famous Khyber Pass. All these last mentioned places are on the eastern frontiers of Af- ghanistan and immediately west of the British possessions. It will be seen by our despatches that forward movements are taking place at all these points, and that the british troops are in possession of the Khurum Valley. The advance, therefore, is being made in two parallel lines, Cabul being the objective point. itis not likely that it will be reached till the spring, but the stragetic positions, which are now be- Ing Occupied, will assuredly secure its fall at the proper moment for action. As re- cently stated, the force at Quettah, a far distant southern point, will operate against Candahar, which lies north-west from Quet- tah. These are the most vital points in the dominions of the Ameer and his principal feudatories.~. St. John Telegraph.

Cleveland mine owners resolved to make a reduction of ten per cent. on miners’ wages.

Russia is making great efforts to obtain an extension of the term of occupatiow of Tarkey, but all the powers oppose it.

The Pass near Ali Musjid has been recon- noitered, Its difficulties are less than was supposed. Artillery ean be brought to bear on the fort.

The ** Natioual Zeitung” reports that Schou- valoti will be appointed Ambassadorat Vienna, and M. Von Novikoff, now Ambassador there will be transferred to London,

The Porte advised the Sultan that the ex- pression of the Czar’s intention to fulfill the stipulations of the Treaty of Berlin makes it all the more necessary that Turkey should give proofs of her willingness to act in the same spirit.

The proposal to cancel the agreement with the Crown of Hanover, and to abserb “the Guelph fund, has been over-ruled by Prince Bismarck, who has asked delay to give the

1 Duke of Cumberland time to reconsider his de-

termination.

Signor Melillo, editor of the ‘‘ Censor,” has been arrested at Naples. He was formerly the associate of Passanante, and was arrested with him in 1870 for posting revolutionary plac. ards. The shopkeeper who sold Passanante the knife with which he attempted to kill the King was also arrested. ;

Passanante informed his examiners at Naples to-day that his intention was to finish King Humbert, and if he had money enough to buy a revolver he would have succeeded, He had no personal feeling against the King or the Government. He intended assassination as a means to a universal republic.

Passanante, the would-be assassin of Kin Humbert, manifested perfect unconcern oo brutal self-assurance while undergoing his preliminary examination. It was evident that he calmly meditated the act, and fully made up his mind to suffer the consequences. At one point in the examination, when the magis- trate expressed horror at the prisoner’s deed, the latter said, ‘‘ It seems to me you are get- ting too excited.” On being asked if ih had not observed that the ple would have torn him to pieces but for the police, he replied : ‘* People are fools ; they always act that Way.” To a question as to whether he had intended to kill the King or merely to wound him, he answered : ‘‘ My intention was to finish him.” He said he was neither Internationalist nor Socialist ; that he did not know the meaning of those words, but he faile1 to satisfactorily account for an Internationalist book found in his possession.

The New York Sun thus sums up the present position and prospects of parties in the United States: ‘‘The contest in 1880 will be a square, front to front, up and down struggle between the two old parties for ascendancy. One side has the offices, the patronage, the treasury, and the army, which will all be freely used for the Repub. lican candidate, no matter who he may be. The other side has the Senate and House of Representatives by a narrow majority. There will be no third party, except as it may be set up by designing politicians in particular localities, to draw off votes from their adversaries. Both sides are on their good behaviour, and the country will watch with interest their actions in the next two

years,
