Yakoob Khan is voluntarily in General Roberts’ camp, and is in a pitiable state of apathy and depression.
Lonpon, Oct. 27
A Calcutta despatch says the new rules for the guidance ef newspaper correspond- ents in the field have aroused indignation. The object evidently is to put it in the power of a General to suppress everything savoring of criticism.
The *‘Times’” Simla despatch says the idea must be abandoned that we intend to stand aloof from internal affairs. Afghanis- tan cannot be too soen informed that we mean toremain in the country. The tend- eucy of opinion at Simla strongly favors the policy of disintegration rather than an attempt to set up a strong central Govern- ment at Cabul.

One of the saddest accidents that has ever taken place in Chatham, says the Miramichi ‘‘Advance,” vappened on Thurs- day evening last, about half-past nine o'clock, on board the barkentine ‘‘Glad- stone,” ‘lying at the Public Wharf, near Mr. Peter Loggie’s Mill, from which she was just prepared te eommence loading with deals. It appears that Willie K. Heard, aged 17 years, son of George Heard, Esq. , timber merchant, Swansea, England feft the house of his em mployer, Hon. Wm. Muirhead, about 9 o’cleck, and proceeded tothe ‘‘Gladstone” for the purpose of seeing Captain Richard Davies, the mas- ter, who belongs to Swansea, as does nearly the whole crew of the vessel. On boarding the ‘‘Gladstone” he found that the captain was on _ shore, but expected on board in a short time, so he remained in the cabin talking with the second mate or boatswain, Geerge Locke, also of Swansea. Within a few minutes of half-past nine, Willie heard the Captain coming on board and went out of the cabin to meet him. The cabin door was on the port side and the Captain was coming over the vessel’s side. The lad could not cross the deck between the after hatch and pumps on account of some casks beimg in the way, so he followed on the port side, and just as Locke, who was close to him, cried out for him to Jook out for the open main hatch, he turned, tripped over the combing, fell through the hatchway, re- ceived injuries whic! resulted in his death a few ;hours afterwards. (The deceased was a nephew of William Heard, Esq., of this city who was the only relation present

\ COAL CONTINUES TO ADVANCE.
A despatch from Philadelphia reports another advance of 25c per ton in coal te take effect on the Ist November. This, along with the sharp advance in freights, will doubtlessly cause a further rise in prices here, which as yet, are very reason- able. :
THE COASTING TRADE,
On Saturday afternoon a St. John Sun reporter paid a visit to several coasting schooners lying in the Market Slip for the purpese of obtaining some informa- tion in regard to the business carried on by them, its proportions during the
titable er not, ete. From his inquiries we learn that the coasting trade has not been carried on to such an extent as in former years, nor so profitable to many of the schooners engaged therein, that on the whole the business has been generally satis- factory, and thai all have paid something over and above running expenses, while a number have realized something handsome fer their owners.

Bad for Libellers.
The editor of Town Talk, a London ‘* personal journal,” has come to grief, in consequence of his libels on Mrs, Langtry, and Mrs. Cornwallis West. The libel on the former lady was a particularly atro- cious one, for it stated that her husband
»| had filed a bill for a divorce against her and
that the Prince of Wales and one or two other distinguished persons would be cord respondents in the suit. The story was ut
terly false and malicious and was one of these statements which are ‘‘made out of whole cloth.” As a reward for his libels the editor of Town Talk will spend the next two years and a half within the wells of a prison and when his term of imprisonment expires will have to give heavy bends for his good behaviour for anether yaar and a half. That he will not be required to work during his term of imprisonment is due te the state of the law and not to the mercy of the Judge who sentenced him, for that funetionary would have gladly set Mr. Rosenberg to picking oakum or some such unintellectual pursuit had the law only permitted him.
While the sentence is undoubtedly severe one, it ean scarcely be said that ‘is is greater than the offence. In fact the libel is so detestable in its chaxacter and so utterly groundless that it is clear Rosenberg must have been imposed upon by some one, unless, indeed, the editor is an absolute fool. But it is the duty of an editor to make full inquiry before he publishes mat- ter which affects private caaracter, and the editor of ‘‘Town Talk” should have made certain of his information being accurate before he printed it. No doubt the con viction of Rosenberg will have a beneficial effect, especially in London, where ‘‘per- sonal journalism” has been carried, in too many instances, te the-extreme of scan-
