NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.

EUROPEAN. Lonpox, Sept. 11. Up to ll o'clock to-night, no informa- tion had reached the Government regard- ing the announcement of the death of the

Ameer. The rumor is discredited in official quarters The Manchester (fvardian says: ‘In

consequence of the cheapness of provisions, the fallin wages is not anything like so serious in its effeets upon the condition of the working people as the reduction appears te indicate, though at the present mement the cotton industry is over-shadowed bya menacing cloud. There are already clearly discernable signs of prosperity.

Mr. Mitchell Henry, Home Ruler, speak- ing at a meeting of 8,000 persons, on the land question, at Clifden Island. yesterday, declared that if the Government left the people for the winter without relief, they wonld hold them responsible before Europe for a repitition of the Irish famine.

[t is understood that a new association of capitalists has been formed in Hamburg, with a view of starting an additional line of steamers to the United States and West Indies, which will compete for the goods business only. ‘Two new steamers, specially adapted for this description of business, have been ordered.

A dispatch from Madrid to the News an- nounces that the Minister of the Colonies has agreed with the Bank of Spain fora very large advance to meet the expenses of reinforcements for Cuba. The reinforce- ments will include artillery. Spanish poli- ticilans express much apprehension about ‘the news from Cuba, but only a small group of Radical members of the Cortes would ap- prove of a system of self-government similar to that of Canada, which it is understeod would be the solution most favored by the Havana Liberals.

A Madrid dispatch to the Standard says that important dispatches are daily passing between the Spanish Cabinet and the Cap- tain General of Cuba. If the condition of the Colonial Treasury permits, the Govern- ment intends that the reforms shall include a reduction of the export duties of Cuba and of the sugar duties of Spain.

National Emigration.

A new movement is about to be started in London inthe shape of an association, under the title vf the ‘‘ National Emigration League,” to promote the emigration of agri- eulturist, mechanics, laborers and others of the industrial classes to the various British colonies and the United States, as being the most effectual way of alleviating the existing depression in trade and agriculture in the United Kingdom. Meet- ings are about to be organized in London for the purpose of explaining the principles upon which it is proposed to establish the league, at which gentlemen, officially con- nected with some of our colonies, will give their experience of the cireers of emigrants in the countries to which they are respect- ivly attached, and state what in their opin- ion the results of imigration to those coun- tries would be at the present tiie.

Improved State of Trade.

A Montreal exchange has the following

lon the improved condition of trade in the | Deminion :—

‘* Tt is long since it has been in the power of Canadian journals to speak in congratu- latory terms on the aspect of financial inatters ; but we think we are justified in doing su to-day. We have fer some time past inentioned that there were indications of amendment in the condition of the finance and commerce of the country, but have refrained from jumping too hastily at the conclusion that bottom had been touch- ed and that we were again moving upward. But matters now strongly point to an im- proved state of affairs. The fourth of September is always regarded as a critical test to merchants’ ability te pay their in- debtness, and enquiry at the bank shows that though there was a very large amount. of paper maturing to-dayengagements have generally been satisfactorily met, in fact it is not putting it in too strong a light to say that bankers’ expectations have been more than realized. We think we may say that the turn has come, and under a regime of prudence, the necessity for which has been 30 strongly impressed upon all by the events of the past, we need not anticipate any re- trogression from the upward step which has been taken.”

“There is now no doubt that there is more activity in trade than has been noticeable for some time, and though the movement is not on a large seale yet there is a turn for the better in many lines both in the demand and in the prices obtainable, which causes the mercantile community to look forward with greater contidence to the future. Trade generally is on a healthier footing than it was during the period just prior to the set- ting in of the long-continued depression.”

The St. John Sun remarks ‘‘It is a mis- take to suppose that these admissions pre- ceed ‘rom an organ of the Government that caine into power in Canada about eleven months ago. Quite the reverse, The journal which. takes so hopeful a view of commercial affairs is the Montreal Herald, an organ of the Dominion Opposition, the special mouthpiece of Hon, L. 8S. Hunting. ton, that hearty hater of the Liberal-Con- servative Party.

The Pacific Railway.

Even the London Tomes is beginning te believe in the building of the Canada Pa- cific Railway, © It says.:—- ;

‘* Hudson's Bay shares have “come® into request lately in London at higher prices. This ix promoted by the prospects ‘of an arrangeuent bomg made for the construet ionof the Canada Pacifie line, and also by the extraordinary rapidity with which popu- lation is being attracted to Manitoba and the gréat fertile region of central Canada. The Hudson’s Bay Company. has large interests in the land of that region, which cannot fail in time to be of immense valae should the press of settlers continue, and should the Railway be opened, as the pre- babilities at present are that it will be.’

Sir John and Sir Alexander.

Sir John has abandonetl his proposed visit to Karl Dufferin and Baron Monck in Ireland. _ Having received a cable despatch from Ottawa on the question of the cattle embarge, he remains here to interview the Privy Council authorities upon it. He and Sir Alexander Galt sail by the “‘ Peruvian’ next Tuesday. Sir A. T. Galt’s undelivered speech on the National Policy Tariff is about to be circulated in pamphlet form to mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Prince of Wales, we believe, when in Toronto was asked to plant an oak in its Park. Prince Arthur was asked tu plant amaple. But the Princess Louise was last week asked yy the courtly Pres- ident of the Toronto Horticultural Society te planta Scotch pine, so that Toronto might possess an evergreen memorial of her visit and that of her husband, ‘‘a mem- ber of one of the most ancient and most il- lustrious of Seotland’s noble families. ”

Sir Francis Hincks prenounces the story of false returns in connection with the Con- solidated Bank of Montreal as utterly ab- surd. He declared to a reporter of the Montreal Sar that no provision has been made for the failure of such firms as Ascher & Co., and others of the same kind which had received too much accommodation, but
