New York, June 20.
Panama letters say that Bolivia has 30,000 men under arms and well dis- ciplined.
The Chilian Government having failed in its negotiations with the Banks for the issue of a paper currency, will itself issue the amount necessary for war expenses.
Mosirz, Ala., June 2C?
Jim Jones, a notorious negro, was slot and killed last night by Daniel tieary, one of the oldest citizens in Mobile, whose house he was burglarizing. Jones ran 200 yards with a shot in his heart, and was found dead seon after daylight wth a handful of the money stolen fram Geary’s house.
San Francisco, June 20.
A compromise has been effected between the Coleman heirs and Patrick O’Brien, brother of the late Wm. O’Brien, the mil- lionaire. O’Brien is paid $600,000, for which he renounces all claim to the estate.
New York, June 20.
Lord Augustus Loftus, formerly British Minister to St. Petersburg, arrived in New York on Tuesday, on his way to New South Wales, of which he has been appointed Governor. In an interview with a reporter he says the Nihilist movement in Russia is generally misunderstood. The Nihilists are but an infinitismal part of the population ; they are writers, students and other classes fairly educated. These oppose the present form of Government. Many other classes are dissatisfied with the prevailing system of bribery and corruption, but they are not Nihilists, though willing the Nihilists should bring about the change. The Em- peror is kind-hearted but frequently acts under bad advisement. If he would give the people limited representation in the Government, at least as far as the disburse- ment of the finances are concerned, social disturbances will be checked. The Emper- or approves such a policy, but the Court fears it would be accepted as a confession of weakness.
Lonvon, June 21.
A Berlin correspondent of the Daily News hears from St. Petersburg that important changes will be made in the personnel of the administration.. One change will be in the Ministry of Instruction. He also states that one of the Russian generals proposes to allow freedom of the press in his Gov- ernment and desires to have a newspaper established in which all ideas of Nihilist journals, land and liberty, can be freely discussed. It is said that the Emperor has sanctioned the idea.
Cairo, June 20.
The British and French Consuls, at their interview with the Khedive yesterday, for- mally demanded his abdication. The latter asked for a delay of 48 hours, in order to communicate with the Porte before reply- ing.
Vienna, June 20.
The French Ambassador here has commu- nicated to the Austrian Foreign Office the steps taken by the Western Powers at Caire, expressing the hope that Austria will join them.
Lonpon, June 21.
Alexandria and Cairo telegrams state shat the abdication of the Khedive is immi- nent. Other telegrams state that though he is willing to pay his creditors, he will not abdicate.
The French evacuated the island of Ma- tacong, June 5th.
The Times’ despatch corroborates the re- port from Alexandria that the French Con- sulin Egypt holds the Sultan’s firman for the deposition of the Khedive.

Foreign Markets, etc.
The New York petroleum market con- tinues te lose tone, and a further reduction on values is made, with a feeling quite un- settled and nominal.
The Chicago heg market is firm at an advance in prices, light grades being 15c. higher at $3.70 to $3.85; mixed packers 10c to 15c. higher at $3.60 to $3.80, and heavy shipping lets 18c. to 20c. aigher at $3.85 to $3. 90.

ge Wedonot hold ourselves responsible fir the statements or opinions of eur correspondents
Sir,—Among the promiscuous whinings of the Patrict of late, editorial and otherwise, there is a communication, over the nom de plume of ‘* Rex,” assailing, in the most un- gentlemanly manner, the Hon. Samuel Prowse, fer his manly and independent utterances in the House of Assembly, re- cently, in behalf of our late Inspector ef Schools. If this individual, who styles himself ‘‘ A King,” were better acquainted with the Hon. 8S. Prowse, he would know that that gentleman is in the habit, when the occasion requires it, of expressing the honest convictions of his heart freely and fearlessly ; and, further; that no ameunt of malignant vilification*-either printed or spoken-—will deter him from pursuing the course which he conscientiously believes to be right and just. The political partner in misfortune of the editor of the Patriot-— Mr. Louis Henry Davies—knows this to be absolutely correct. And he must know, alsu, by this time, that the Murray Harber District—-which he fondly called ‘‘ my own” --resented, with just indignation, the feul slanders that he heaped upon the devoted head of Mr. Prowse, by returning, not one, but firo, Libeval-Conservatives to represent it, and stands prepared te do so again. - I advise the writer of the aforementioned scurrilous letter to turn his attention nearer heme when he is disposed to deliver a hem- ily on ‘‘ good breeding,” ‘‘ affability,” ** courtesy,” ete.; and I can also say, for his edification, that Mr. Prowse never stood higher in the estimation ef his constituents than he does at the present time,——that they are thoroughly and entirely satisfied with his reasons for breaking up the late unscrupulous and unpopular Govern- ment, and ‘they ‘‘back him up in it to a man.” In speaking of the late Inspectors, this writer offers some gratn- itously offensive and false remarks. Indeed, the whole article is a tissue of falsehoods from beginuing to end. He speaks ef the examination papers with great flippancy, and finally observes that they were ‘‘ abso- lutely shecking.” What a prodigy the man is! One weuld almost suppose that the erudite individual had swallowed the whole Bodleian Library without a grunt. Is this “Rex” an aspiring applicant for the In- spectorship? Or is he already connected with the ‘‘ Educational machinery” of the Province. He shufiles the examination papers with remarkable dexterity, and ap- pears to be dictating to the Government, through the columns of the ‘‘ Patriot” the: course which shall be pursued in this mat- ter. It would, no doubt, be interesting to the public to know at what particular time he delivered his ‘* Valedictery,” and the name of his Alma Mater. Although these things are not mentioned, it is evidently clear that the ‘‘ Organ of Self-esteem,” as phrenologists would say, is very largely de- veleped in the top of his cranium and abundantly flanked with overweening van- ity. We believe him to be a conceited and pretentious ignoramus, who would undoubt- edly fail, if submitted to the same test and under the same circumstances, as the late Inspectors. Besides, what guarantee have the Government that any of the Old Gram- mar School Teachers, if appointed as In- spectors, would be qualified to prss an ex- amination for first-class under the new Act? It is generally conceded—and that, too, by the best educatienal authority on the Island —that very few, if any, would be able, if called up to an examination, to secure a first-class certificate. And we submit that an unjust and inviduous distinction will be made if men are appointed to fill these pv- sitions, no matter what license they hold under the Old Law, or where they have been educated, unless they are required to pass through the same ordeai as the late In- spectors.
Yours, &c..

ivioiwniachiocnseipitise deli aa Odgiiles Sai, Trade of Cuba.
Mr. Hall, United States Consul-General at Havana, sends to the Department of State reports of the export trade of Cuba, in which some interesting facts are stated. It appears (says the ‘‘Journal of Commerce”) that eight-tenths of all the exports of that island go to the United States. The total exports of sugar and molasses to all coun- tries amount to $56,000,000 ; to the United States $52,000,000—equal to 93 per cent. Of tobacco and cigars the tetal experts are $13,000,000 ; to the United States $6,500,- 000, or 50 per cent. The value of the rnm exported is $824,416 ; to the United States, $8,339. The total exports to Spain are $4,288,476; to England, $2,585,256; to the United States $58,526,678.
American Railways.
It is stated that returns from twenty-eight American railroads show « net increase of gross, earnings fer May, 1879, $311,808 over those of May last year. The total of May earnings was $8,635,427 ; fer five months of 1879, $38,192,991—a decrease of 80, 912 as compared with the first five months of 1878. The May business shows an increase of receipts on all reads except those engaged in through besiness. The rates on through traffic have ruled ruineus- ly lew and the growth of business is not fairly; represented by the earnings. The northwestern reads’ earnings teil of
the large increase of immigration.
