‘Arabi Determined to Fight, ‘A Minotaur Skirmish,

Special Despatch to the Examiner. ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 1. The country and villages in front of the ‘advancing British forces have been coin- pletely laid waste by the orders of Arabi and his advisers. The Bedouins and fol- lowers of the Egyptians were peculiarly active in this work of destruction. The theatre of war in the viciaity of Zagazig, Tel-El-Kebir, and Maxima, presents a pitiable appearance. Houses are levelled with the ground, crops are destroyed, and

compored ¢ men of the age, and is

disseminating the latest discoveries, aud

in having the scientific dreams and} vagiries of individuals tested by the common sense aud cultare of famous men in all branches of scieuce. News has been received that the Association

has selected Montreal for the next piace |

of meeting. This meeting will

place in 1834, a

to the cause and the study of science ov this side of the Atlantic, which will prove of iuealeulable benefit to stu- dents. ‘The honour paid to Canada is no insignificant one,

that the Association has never’ betore

assembled outside of the British Isles. Montreal may justly feel proud of the prominence she*will. receive from the gathering together in her midst of the most distinguished scientic men from all parts of the world.

Agricultural Labour in Italy.

The suffering and hardship experienc-

ed by the agricultural labourer in the

countries of the Old World are in strik ing contrast with the comfort and inde- pendence of farm-workers on this side of

the Atlantic. The stolid Briton can generally get his taste of cheese, or a rasher of bacon, after the toil of the day is over. The French farm-labourer expects to fiud a cosy home and a bowl of humble soup to greet his wearied frame. ‘The pictured sadness and yearn ing tor rest iu the faces of the French labourer are characteristic traits in the drawings of famous French artists. To till the earth, and to earn bread from the sweat of the face, seem to stamp the brow of the European agricultural labourer with the curse of the Fail. Per-

haps the saddest of all lots is the lot of |

the Italian farm-worker. <A book, re- cently pub.ished, gives us the following little touch, which is painful in the ex- treme. It says :—

‘‘Imagine that it is in the middle "of winter. The peasant must be in the fields at sunrise, and after four or five hours of fatiguing work he is permitted to repose and refresh himself for a short hour. Seated on a stone or the naked earth, he takes from a |-asket or cloth a few slices of badly-cooked polenta and warms them at an improvised fire, together with a bit of rancid herring, and with this miserable food recuperates his exhausted strength. At times he varies the diet, eating his polenta with afew dned figs or a mouldy crust of cheese, or four small pickled fishes. or a few edible snails, or a pair of frogs cooked in stuff that is sold for olive oil, but is nothing more thaa unwholesome and stinking grease.”

To one living such a miserable life,

the transportation to the Western Hemis- ;

phere would be to him, a transportation to a veritable Eden. The exodus from Italy to America is working its influence, and is growing greater every year. The important part that this Hemisphere is playing in the transformation of many things in the Evropean Countries, is yet to be thoroughly studied and written, which when completed will prove the civilization of the West to have been. in its effects upon the labouring classes, the salvation of the East.

—Tne EXaminer’s special despatches of today show that the Dublin police have resevted the officialized disciplinary

measures meted out to their spokesmen,

and have resigned in force. cipline was, perhaps, necessary, but it was demanded at a wrong time, and has brought on the crisis. The red-tape officialism of the old country has re- ceived a severe blow on the occasion. and it is very doubtful whether the com- munity will be hevefiited by the action of the officials. The sight of a wealthy city in the hands of a mob, and the terrible consequences likely to ensue from such a position, are perhaps necessary to awaken the admin- istration te the necessity of conforming, in some slight measure, to the demauds of the men.

Notes from Grand Tracadie.

Picnics and parties have beeu the order of the day for some time past ; but the resident young ladies have other exercises now. Harvesting has fairly commenced, and already the air is filled with the hum of machinery, and loads of golden gram may be seen driving in the direction of the snug farm yards. Crops are fairly good.

Edward Bayficid, Esq., and family, have been at their pleasant summer-house here for some time, and by all appearances seem to profit by the country air, drives and frequent boat-sailing, im which they indulge. Mrs. Bayfield makes hersel: at home wherever she can give a help- ing hand, and is very highly respected by all classes.

Peter Curran, Esq., has been inspecting the schools for the last few days, and is universally praised for his gentlemanly behaviour and impartial conduct in ali cases; while Mr. C. in turn speaks very highly of the work done by the teachers.

Owing to the fact that the Lorne docs not receive permanent boarders this season, the number of foreign tourists is small ; but shooting and fishing seem to have greater attractions than ever for pleasure-seekers.

Special to the Examiner. Dustin, Sept. 2.

Three hundred men of the Metropolitan Police at Dublin were dismissed from the furce ip consequence of the action they had taken in the late police troubles in the city. The other members of the force are jexcited over the action taken, and it is }expected that hundreds of the men will | resign. | A later despatch says :—

| ‘All the members of the Dublin police | force, except the officers and the detectives, |have struck. The men are becoming very |violent, and the situation causes grave }anxiety in the city. Rioting has already | broken out in several parts of the city, and {the populace are terrified at the spectacle | of the city being in the hands of a mob.” The British steamer Lake Nepigén, be- longing to the Canada Shipping Company, | left Liverpool for Montreal yesterday. Tie | vessel was steaming along in good order until the reached the Arklow Bank, where ishe struck aground, and it was soon found jthatshe was in a perilous position. A | hoat containing part of the crew, and a | number of the passengers, arrived at Wick- |low this morning. Five other boats which [sores about the same time have not, yet | been heard from, and fears are entertaines |regarding their safety. The steamer, it is | expected, will become a total loss. | A later despatch from Liverpool, says:— | ‘The Liverpool agent bas just stated that fifty-two of the passengers have landed ai Greystone, and other boats have been seen making fer Wicklow. The vessel is insured | for two-thirds of her value in several Eng- 'lish and French companies.” : | A later despatch from Dublin says:—

| News has just been received here that a!) |the boats that started from the ‘Lake |Nepigon” have arrived safely at different |poiuts of the coast. The weather proving | favorable, steamers were sent to try to tow ‘the vessel off at high tide. The effort was |suceessful, the *‘Lake Nepigon” left the bank iu good order, and is very little da naged. She proceeded at once to Liver- pool, where she will be thoroughly over- hauled.

It is believed, however, that, in consequent of the recent turn of affairs, the propesal for a collective protection to the canal will be without result.

Lonpon, Aug. 31.

The Greek patriarchs and bishops of Syria and several principal inhabitants have telegraphed from Damascus, to-day, denying that there is any insecurity in Syria and Palestine, or that there is any Mussulman rising ayainst Christians.

John Dunn has advised the Zulu chiefs to give a friendly welcome to Cetewayo, wpon his return to Zululand.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. = The military advisers of the Porte con- tinue to urge that the right to land Turkish troops at Alexandria is indispensible.

Lord Dufferin refuses to insert such a clause in the military convention, but con- acnta to place on record a proviso that the English and Turkish staffs may subsequently have power to modify the military pro- gramine in case of necessity. The Porte is disposed to agree to this and consents to the landing of the Turkish forces at Aboukir, subject to an ultimate agreement between the respective geverals.
