The Rev, John Padfield.

T¥XHIS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate

cost. the advantages of a comfortable and pleasant home together with a thorough and refined education.

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University HKxaminations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examinaticn of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination,

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given ina large establish. ment.

Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters.

Parisienne French is taught conversation- ally. There are two resident French Gov- ernesses,

The Situation in Afghanistan.

Advices from Afghanistan state that the Mohmund outbreak renews the anxiety re- garding Afghanistan, and the St. John Welegraph remarks that it seems that the persistent attempts of the Mollachs to in- cite a religious war have been successful. Vague fears have now grown into a cer- The British fight, not wild hill tribes alone, not with undisciplined guerillas intent on plunder, of

he Himalayas. As soon as the English left Cabul a meeting of the Moliachs, with all their disciples, was held at a shrine within the city. Here the green flag was set up, and furions orations were made against the infidels. Messages were sent to all the strongholds of the Mahomedan faith throughout the coun-

try, appealing to them in the name of re- ligion, ef country, and of their relationship

to Yakoob Khan, to drive the infidels from

the country. That appeal has been res- ponded to. The Shia Warris, who have

been menacing the Jagdaliah Pass for some time, and the Afredes, it is believed, will also rise. A despatch says: Our political officers with the tribes are urgent as to the importance of our future policy being definitely delared. The uncertaitity of the position causes constantly increasing diffi-

culties, as the Sirdars and people are alike afraid to join us loyally, or to held aloof, nor dare they furnish either information or supplies, as im the event of our withdrawal they would suffer the vengeance of the Afghans. Were we to publish a proclaima- tien to the effect that henceforth the coun- try, as far as the foot of the Jugdalluk Pass, would form part ef our Empire, the

greater part of the chiefs who hold aloof would joia us cordially. lmmense sums

are being spent on roads and barracks, and no one believes here that we shall ever with- draw below Jellalabad.’ In this connec- tion the London ‘‘ Post” anticipates that, while the Government will adhere to the eanepel principle of non-annexation, steps will be taken on strategical grounds to ree. tify the frontier arrangements of Gunda- muk settlement. Recent events at Cabul have shown the necessity of securing free acceas to that city by having control of the Khyber route and the Cabul’ passes. The increased importance which is being given to Candahar by the prospect of a Russian annexation of the Turcomnn terri- tory makes it imperative that we shall no longer permit a place so situated to pass

tainty. troops have now to

but with the armed Mohammedanism

out of British hands. An _ occupation of Candahahar will not only give us command over the road from Herat,

but, by reason of the fertility of the sur- rounding country, a fortress in the imme- diate possession of many of the require- ments fer a large army. An annexation such as we have above described is on so moderate a scale as not to be inconsist- tent the disavowals” of Ministers and with the spirit of the Gundamak settlement. While these are the least of the changes which are likely to be made upon the map of Asia, there are grave rea- sons for considering whether our military intervention in Afghanistan shall not go beyond the line of annexation. It will cex tainly be so in the case of Cabul’ That city is not likely to beembraced within the Indian frontier, yet a large British force will be stationed there, sufficiently numer- ous to protect our representative and to over-awe the inhabitants. The Fire Department.

Ata special meeting of the Fire En- ginears, held on the 23rd January, 1880: Present—Donald MacKinnon, Esq., Chief Engineer, in the Chair ; William R. Wat- son, Thomas Handrahan, Hon. H. J. Call- beck, John Hughes. Lemuel M. Poole, James D. Mason, John McPhail, Henry B. Smith, and Angus D. Martin. The follow- ing communication from D, MacKinnon, Esq., was read :-—

Te the Board of Five Engineers : JANUARY, 23rd, 1880.

GENTLEMZN,—I hereby tender my resig- nation as Chief Engineer of the Fire De- partment, on account of the summary dis- missal by the City Council of three of the most efficient members, without any just canse, and contrary to the wishes of the Board.

I remain, &c., D. MacKinnon.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Oliver Doud Byron is playing in Boston.

John Todd, M. P. for Liverpool (Con- servativé), is dead.

John Bright's son thinks of introducing Edison’s electric light invo Rochdale mills, Which is rather a Bright idee.

Lord Beaconsfield’s health is again a subject of anxious discussion in Government circles in England, and an early retirement from the cares of official life is spoken of as advisable.

London Truth says that nervous appre- hension and hard times press severely on the ladyhood of Mescow and St. Peters- burg in foreign parts and cause a dangerous state of tension.

T. Adolphus Trollope, like his brether Anthony, goes to his writing regularly évery morning, and accomplishes a stated task. Mr. Wilkie Collins does the same ; so did Bulwer and Dickens.

A bill was introduced in the Congress at Washington on the 20th inst., for the relief of the starving people of Ireland, whic. pro- poses to appropriate $500,000 for the pur- pose. The bill was referred to committee.

Harijo Gondostwoijo, reigning Prince of Sura Kurtz, in the island of Java, is now visiting Paris with his son. He speaks oily Arabie and Japanese, and is con- stautly accompanied by an interpreter.

It is reported that the Royal Academy of England has resolved to admit women to membership, subject to certain disabili- ties, including deprivation of the right to vote at elections and attendance at the annual banquet.

Tue KesLry Moror.— Strange as it may scein, Keeley motor stock is having a “boom.” The company has been re-organ- ized, with a (capital on paper) of $5,000,000. Keeley it seems is still inventing and patenting. ‘The shares have advanced from” $15 to $17 and $18, which is quite an ad- vance on Keeley motor stock,

The agricultural prosperity of Australia is endangered by the appearance of red rust in the wheat fields of South Australia, Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales. The disease isdue to the existence of a minute insect parasite somewhat similar to the phyllowera which has done so much damage te the French grape crop. In one two or instances the rust-like appearance is said to be a parasitic fungus of like nature to the ‘‘coffee fungus” of Ceylon and Brazil. The Queensland Government has offered £1,000 for the discovery of a temedy.

Mr. Vennor predicts that during the remainder of this month the weather will be mild and slushy, with rain; it may be interrupted he says, with a cold dip on the 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd. After the entry of February he bids adieu to inildness for a season. The probabilities are that very low readings will take place on the 4th or 8th of February, which will be succeeded by imore snow than has fallen this winter so far. A second cold dip is likely to occur before the end of the month. March bids fair to give the heaviest snow fall of the winter, but an early spring will occur.

The abolition of trial by jury is contem- plated in Russia at present. It has been found impossible to procure a verdict against the most notorious thief if any pal- liating cireumstances can be addueed in his favor. A St. Petersburg correspondent says that the inclination to acquit has grown he a perfect imania. Boys and women are declared innocent for no other reason than that they are not men, and men are acquitted because they stood in need of what they stole. One instance is given in which a man stole some coins from a valuable numismatic collection, and, when arrested, confessed himself guilty, stating where the stolen property was con- cealed. At his trial he pleaded not guilty, and, in spite of the above facts, he was ac- quitted by a jury. The efficacy of trial by jury, like all other institutions, depends entirely upon the people by whom it is ad- ministered.

Advices trom Yokohama informs us that public attention is entirely absorbed by the disastrous conflagration which broke out in Tokio on the 26th of December. This makes the thir] calamity of this kind in seven years, the first being in 1872, and the second in 1876. New miles of ground are laid waste. Nearly fifteen thousand hemes have been censumed by the flames; rendering fifty thousand people destitute. it is not known yet what is the actual pecn- niary loss, but it is not so large as it would be in western countries, as the houses are cheaply constructed. The estimated less of life is one hundred, but this is uncertain, as many persons in the rapid progress of the flames, were overtaken and destreyed. Several unrecognizable bodies, with their fragments, were discerned among the ruins and many died from exposure to the cold, the night succeeding the disaster being un- usually severe. A considerable portion of the foreign district was destroyed, includ- ing several missionary stations, one church and the Tokio Times, a foreign journal, and the United States Legation was in danger, but luckily escaped. The Government authorities, assisted by private individuals, have institu'ed measures of relief. There 1s a, strong protest being made by the Gey- ernment to prevent future crowding to-

gether of inflammable structures,
