The Burmese Difficulty.

A srgctaL Epition of the London Daily News, of the 12th inst., contains the fol- lowing despatch from Rangoon: ‘ A Gov- ernment steamer has left Mandally, bring- ing down the staff of the British Residency

aN = — Die-in-a-minute.

THE EXCITEMENT IT CAUSED.

Ox Thursday evening last many of our citizens— ineluding the keeper of the bonded warehouse, the agent of the Intercolonial Express, his messenger, and a number of customs ofticials—were much appalled by the passage of a small box of dynamite

through their hands on way to its im- porter—Mr. H. W. Mutch. This box was

at that place. Fears had been entertained | first discovered in the office of a mercantile

that King Thebaw would follow the ex- ample set at Cabul by massacring the Em-

frm on Queen Street, where—rumor says— it had been left by the purser of a Halifax

hassy.” The critical situation of the British in Burmah is said to be due, in the first in- stance, to King Thebaw’s claim that he had sovereignity over the Karrennec country, which has hitherto served as a border land between his provinces and those of Queen Victoria. The London Globe says: ‘To allow Burmah to possess itself of Karenne would be a strategical error of the first magnitude, asin case of war it would en- able Great Britain’s enemy to turn her flank and threaten her communications be- tween the frontier post and the seaports. It was currently reported three weeks ago that Col. Browne had hauled down the British flag and quitted Mandalay. The rumor was unconfirmed. The best hope of avoiding hostilities lay in the probability that thisclaim of Thebaw’s was only one of his drunken freaks, from which he would recede as soon as he found that Great Britain was in earnest. Every day that passed made it, however, more and more evident that, so long as Thebaw ruled at Mandalay, peace between the two countries hung on a thread, which might at any moment be snapped by the blind caprice of a besotted tyrant. The war would not be against the Burmese people, but against the J'lood-stained Prince, whose reign is @ disgrace to humanity, and it may safely bs predicted that a British invading army would be hailed as deliverers throughout the length and breadth of Upper Burmah.”’

The Great North-West.

The Toronto Globe, which has always been very sparing of its praise of our Great North-West, says :—

**With the completion of the Pacific Railway, which no four millions of unen- ergetic people would attemppt to build, anew era will begin. In the Canadian North-West there is enough good land to support A HUNDRED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BY AGRICULTURB, and it will undoubtedly be- come the great grain producing country of the continent. It has proportionate length ani breadth, the form necessary to the land which is to support a people with national solidari ty. It will be our colony as Ameri- ca was England’s, and wiil before long ex- ceed us in resources and population even in a greater degree. People will wonder then that Ontarie and Quebec should ever have been thought of as entire Canada, and citizens of the American Republie will won- der that their grandfathers should have been so foolish as te disparage the wealth and strength of the Dominion. Present Canada will be but the middleman of Can- ada of the future.”

Disrarcurs from Fredericton, N. B., state that the Temperance Committee there have received from the Dominion Govern- ment a despatch dated Sept. 17, as fellows :

“Tho. Government will undertake the re- sponsi) ility and expense of an appeal to the Supreme Court here, in the case ad judicat- ed upen by the New Brunswick courts. Immediate orders for this purpose will be given Ly the Minister of Justice.”

The Government have done well to pro- vide tho means of setting at rest a ques. tion in which such a large number of per- sors are interested. ;

Jcsricg, it seems, is neither sharp of eye nor ewiit of foot in certain rural parts of Ontario. Here and there men stab other men brutally, ont novedy takes particular notice of the

steamer—the M. A. Starr probably. The box was addressed to “Mr. H. W. Mutch, | Charlottetown.” Above the address was the inscription, ‘‘From the Boston Dyna- mite Cempany ;” ‘“‘in Bond ;” “*Intercol- onial Express Co.,” etc. On the opposite side was, ‘‘ Dynamite ;’ ‘‘ Handle with care.” It only required a single glance at this side of the box to make the observer think of a sudden death, As one of the mercantile firm—to which we above alluded—entered the office, he saw tho fatal powder carelessly lying on a desk. A man who seldom swears is he. But horrified at the presence of the ‘king of explosives,’ he commanded that it be instantly removed from the premises. This command was strength- ened by a well condensed oath. The box was quickly seized by the book-keeper and removed to the office of a well-known auctioneer (next door). The auctioneer, on discovering its contents, became feverish with excitement ; the excitement increased to rage, and the mischevious book-keeper, becoming alarmed at the agony depicted on his usually pleasant countenance, left the salesroom, carrying with him the box which contained such an awful amount of destruc- tion. The messenger of the Intercolonial Ex- press happened to pass as the book-keeper re treated from the auction room. He was duly hailed and ordered to convey the package to the Bonded Warehouse. Seeing the regular. labels onit he did so. On arrival at the warer house the messenger was met by the keeper pro tem, who immediately made inquiries re- garding the contents of the box. As both were ignorant on that point, they upturned the box and were eqnul- ly appalled to find the — inscription “Dynamite; handle with care,” in blazing capitals. The keeper at once re- fused to admit the box into the warehouse

six o'clock. The further detention of the destructive ageatzin the Express Office caused renewed excitement among those who had life and property near the place, and the feeling against the foolhardy, ob- stinate and careless Express Agent be- came intense. He left his premises, and on return an excited crowd met him and vigorously demanded the speedy removal of that blasted ‘‘dynamite.” On his con: senting to remove it, the crowd dispeased; and as he tore the infernal package open in front of the stroe and spilled it in the gutter, none were visible—the most venturesome were far off. However no explosion 0c- urred as the contentsgwere nothing more than bone dust which some practical jokers labeled as above described and directed to Mr. Mutch, who is well known to have the contract of removing the hull of the ship Emigrant which lies sunk on the edge of Hillsborough channel, and which work will be performed by blasting with dynamite.

itn Trearwent or Canaprans.—A_ Fall River, Mass. despatch of the 17th says that about 80 French Canadians; who wero taken there to work in the mills, were assaulted by a crowd of about 150, mostly men. One me. named Bouche was severely kicked and bruis- ed. A woman witha babe in her arms was knocked down and kicked, and all the little children were stoned as well as the older per- sons. More indignation is expressed by the citizens at this outrage than all others that occurred. No arrests yet.

Further Particulars of the Cabul Massacre.

A despatch from Simla announces that one of the troopers of Major Cavagnars escort arrived at Lundi Khotal on Monday. He says that the roof of the British Resi- dence at Cabal was commanded by other houses and was consequently untenable by the besieged, who made a trench outside, ,

day of the massacre. Major Cavagnari re- ceived a wound from a ricochetting bullet on the forehead. Mr. Jenukyns, Major Cavagnari’s assistant, who arrived at the Resideney during the attack, wrote to the Ameer for help, and the Ameer’s reply was: ‘‘ God will. Iam making arrangements.” A previous request for aid from Major Cavagnari had met with the same reply. Mr. Jenkyns wrote again when Major Cavag- nari was wounded, but the bearer of the letter was cut to pieces by the mutineers. The trooper then started, but he was dis- armed and imprisoned. He succeeded in escaping at day-break on the 4th of Sep- tember and visited the Residency, where he saw the corpse of Lieutenant Hamilton, commanding the escort of the British Mis- sion, lying across a mountain gun. He says that Mr. Jenkyns was with a person called Yahyah Khan, and he is therefore, presuraably alive. The escaped trooper sav no troops on the way from'Cabul to Jelalavad and Dakka, and, as far as he knew, nene were coming. A comrade who was confined in Cabul informed him that Lieut. Hamilton shot three of the mutin- eers with his revolver, and killed two with his sabre. Dr. Kelley, who was connected with the mission, was lying dead inside the Residency. Major Cavagnari was in a room which was burnt and which had fallen in. His body had not been found. Three native officers of the Guides were burned to death near the Residency. The grass cut- ters were in safety. °

Tbe military correspondent of the Times says:-~‘* It is difficult, in the face of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, to belive that Yakoob Khan, has played an honorable part in the recent shameful deeds at Cabul. It is significant that Major Cavagnari’s principal native assistant is be- lieved to have died a short time before the outbreak under somewhat suspicious cir- cumstances.
