APH. Lonpon, Sept. 24.

\ Bombay despatch reports that a special

meeting of Viceroy’s Council was held at

Semla. General Roberts, commander of

; . . the frontier forces, has started for Pessa-

war with secret orders. A large force has been ordered in readiness for the frontier, where 12,000 men are already massed. The Indian papers universally demand an apology from the Ameer or occupation of Afghanistan. The following among the Kuropeans is warlike.

The Cabinet will immediately assemble to discuss Afghanistan affairs.

The British fleet leaves Princes’ Islands for Artaki on Saturday and possibly ear- lier.

Lonpon, Sept. 24.

A despatch from Pesth says that al- though the Bosnian occupation cannot be otherwise than unpopular in Hungary, the news of the Austrian successes gives great satisfaction there.

The Turks have evacuated the territories of Little Zevornik and Sakor, which is oc- cupied by Servians. The ‘Turks have strengthened the frontier with the line of Epirus with 2,000 regulars. They have nearly 16,000 troops in Thessaly and Epirus, and reinforcements are still arriy- ing.

A Calcutta despatch to the Standard states that orders have been issued to con- centrate the troops towards the frontier,

with a view to early operations if neces- sary. lt is semi-officially announced that

Ameer of Cabul has allowed three letters from the Viceroy of India to remain, un- answered.

Eight thousand men will start in a few days to strengthen the forces at Quettah. ft is considered certain that a move will be made thence on Candahor, which wonld cut the communications between Cabul and Herat. Simultaneously with this move- ment, 6,000 men will go to Kohati, and it is believed will enter Affghanistan by Kor- amulley, while a third column will traverse Khyderhass. It is estimated that there will be plenty of time for these operations before snow falls.

Romh Bye is a literary Indian lady who extemporizes Sanskrit verses with the greatest ease. She is mentioned as a ‘‘ walking annotated edition of the ‘ Srimat Vagabat,’ ” for it is said she has learnt all the 18,000 verses of that book, and can re- cite or explain any verse from any of its chapters, as may be desired. Where is the

‘blue-stocking of a civilized race who can do

A Costty Wirs.—At a London police court recently a woman was arraigned for drunkenness who had been convicted for the same offence every few weeks for years, and her husband, a laborer, had paid out £108 in fines for her. At Birmingham, also, a man was fined for drunkenness who admitted haying been convicted in the same court 90 times for this offence, and stated that he had paid out £200 in fines during the past 30 years.

A Few Irishmen.

This is from the Nation’s review of Webb’s ‘‘Compendimn of I[rish Biography,” just published :—‘‘Sir Eyre Coote, whom Mac- aulay justly styles ‘one of the most dis- tinguished soldiers of his time,’ ‘conspic- uous among the founders of the British Em- pire in India,’ who with the minority ad- vised Clive to fight in the famous council of war which preceded the battle of Plassey, who beat the French at Wandiwash, and gave the Carnatic to England, was the son of a Limerick gentleman. Sir Phillip Francis, almost certainly the author of Junius’ letters, whom Macaulay styles ‘ the ablest member of the Council,’ when War- ren Hastings was Governor-General, was the son of a Dublin minister. Sir William Jumper, who was Sir George Rocke’s best officer in the reduction of Gibraltar, was a Cork man. Blakeney, who made the splen-

against Richelieu, and whom Admiral Byng was shot for not relieving, was also a native of Limerick. Eyre Massey, ore of Wolfe’s ablest lieutenants, was- also an Irishman. So was Admiral Graves, who

received the thanks of Parliament as Nel-

son's second in command at Copen- hagan. Sir George McCartney, who shared with Clive and Has- tings and Coote, and on not unequal

terms, the glory of founding the Indian Empire, and refused the Governor-general- ship in 1875, was born in the County An- trim. The soldiers and the statesmen who, after Pitt's death and the innumerable re- verses by land which preceded the Penin- sular Campaign, brought the war with France to a happy issue, and gave England the wonderful prestige with which she ap- peared at the Congress of Vienna, Welling- ton and Castlereagh, were both Irishmen. Wellington’s ancestors on both his mo- ther’s and his father’s side had been settled in Ireland for over three hundred years. Castlereagh was the son of a County Down gentleman. Wellington’s brother, the Marquis of Wellesley—both of them making their way up from poverty and ob- scurity—was one of the ablest governor- generals India has ever had, and played for forty years a conspicuous, and, indeed, we may say an illustrious part in English politics. Of Edmund Burke we do not need to speak, nor of Sheridan ; but it is not generally known that George Canning was the son and grandson of an Irish gen- tleman, his father having settled in Lon- don, where George was born, owing toa family quarrel. General Rawdon Chesney, explorer of the Euphrates Valley, was an Irishman of the County Down, where his hardly less distinguished son, the late Colonel Chesney, the well-known writer on military subjects, was also born, Sir Henry Lawrence, who defended Lucknow during the Sepoy War, was an Irishman,

and the son of an Irish Colonel; and General Nicholson, who fell at Delhi, who first stemmed the tide of insurrection pending the arrival of the reinforcements from England,

and whose death was pronounced at the time ‘a national misfortune,’ was the son of a Dublin doctor. General Packenham, who commanded at New Orleans and fell there; was an Irishman. General De Lacy Evans, who rose from a sick-bed to bear the brunt of the attack at Inkerman, after having been wounded at New Orleans, and serving on Wellington’s staff at Waterloo, and who sat thirty years in the House of Commons, was a Limerick man also. Sir Garnet Wolseley, the rising general of the British service, who has just been appoint- ed Governor of Cyprus, is also an Irishman, belonging to a family long settled in Wex- ford. Of seven distinguished Indian offi- cers selected by Mr. Kaye, for one of his volumes of biography, three— Pottinger, Lawrence and Nicholson—were frishmen.

If disappointment is to be measured by one’s hopes, how terrible must be the dis- appointment of the Clear Grits! The week before the elections, their organizer general, Mr. Pattullo, in a speech delivered in Halton against the Hon. Wm. Mac- dougall, thus foreshadowed the result which he anticipated at the pools :—

‘*My settled conviction is that on the night of the 17th September, the Reform- ers will be found to have carried two-thirds of the constituencies of the Province of Ontario; that they will have improved their position in Quebec; that they will have car- ried seven-eighths of the seats in New Brunswick; that they will have carried Nova Scotia by a four-fifths majority; that they will have carried Prince Edward Island solid; and that in the Western Provinces they will stand very little, if any, worse than they do now. This is the Reform vic- tory which present appearances indicate will be achieved on the 17th September.”

Mr. Pattullo may be assumed to have spoken the views of his leaders. His_posi- tion gave him the chance to know more than anyone else. His mistake was that he underestimated the intelligence of the

In the Chancery division at London a few days ago application was made on behalf of Mr. Tennyson, the Poet Laureate, to re- strain the Christian Signal Publishing Com- pany from publishing without his permis- sion a hitherto unpublished poem, called ‘* Confessions of a Sensitive Mind,” which he wrote some time ago.
