Montreat, July 10. Fire broke ont this morning in Robert

few days.

The excitement this morning is in regard to tinding of what Orangemen declare to be a plot fer their destruction. The Orange Hail is on the fourth flat of a building on st. James’ street, which is reached by long winding stairs. On the third flat at the foot of the stairs leading to the hall isa trap door. found coal oil had been spilt on the floor,

and taking up the trap which opened into |

the ceiling of the third flat, a large number of newspapers saturated with coal oil were found. Detectives are working up the case and think clues are sufficient to lead to the discovery of the perpetrators of the deed. Had a tire broken out there while a meeting was in progress overheard, loss of life was certain. QueEBEC, July 10. The Governor General returned to Que- bec by the Intercolonial last evening. He was met on the platform by H. R. H. the Princess Louise, who has been in the city since Saturday evening last. Memputs, Tenn., July 10.

The yellow fever has broken out ina number of families in this city. There is considerable consternation among the peo- ple. The Board of Health advises the re- moval of families until it can be ascer- tained whether the few cases now existing will spread into an epidemic.

THE LATE PRINCE IMPERIAL.

The following arrangements have been so far made for the Prince’s funeral :—The ‘** Enchantress” will reach the Royal Ar- senal, Woolwich, at 7 o’clock on Friday evening; the coffin will be carried ashore by seamen to an isolated octagonal dome roofed structure, used as an armory by the Kent Rifle Volunteers. The interior of the building, which is only 20 feet in diameter, will be draped in black. The coffin will be opened when it arrives and the corpse for- mally identified. There will be but few watchers. Sentries will remain in the armory all night with a strong Guard of Honor of the Artillery outside. At 3.30 o'clock on Saturday morning, the coftin will be placed on a gun-carriage, drawn by eight horses, and conveyed ty Chiselhurst, escorted by the Royal Horse Artillery.

FRANCE. Paris, July 10.

Everything tends to show that Prince Jerome intends accepting the position of the dead Prince Iinperial.

Lonpon, July 10.

A despatch from Paris say that Jerome Bonaparte has already virtually assumed an attitude of chief Imperialist. It was re- presented to him that committees were working in every depot and Canton ; that subsidized newspapers were advocating the cause of the Bonapartists, and that the faults of the present Government were being skilfully and vigorously turned to account, when the death of the Prince came to check the great and well managed or- ganization.

Lonxpox, July 10.

St. Petersburg advices received at Berlin state that the Russians sent two hundred Cossacks against the Chinese raiders at Kuldja. The Cossacks, however, hearing of the assemblage of a superior force of Chinese, were obliged to retreat. It is not doubted that the Chinese are about to de- velop a military demonstration towards the Kuldja frontier on a very large scale.

The March of Protection.

At a meeting of the Worcestershire

|Chamber of Agriculture, Mr. Winnknight,

M. P., said:—‘‘ The so-called free trade was not free trade. That very eminent man, Mr. Cobden, thought he was doinga great good for his country in getting free trade established, but such was not the case. Bismarck, the greatest man in Europe, saw what afree trade policy meant, and they knew what he had been doing lately. The farmers wanted protection but they would not get it by themselves; they must get the towns to support them, and then they would have a chance. There was one thing which struck him much and that was that if they were to depend for their food on@oreign countries, in case of dispute they would not be able to make war at all with other coun- tries, because their food supply would be stopped.” The honorable member con- cluded by remarking that unless the whole country returned to something like pro- tection, he did not know what was to be done. Another speaker said: —‘‘It was not only the farmers who were crying ont, but the manufacturers of Lancashire had a great change come over them with reference to unrestricted free trade, for foreign nations were supplying them with goods cheaper than they could make them.

Scottish Disestablishment.

Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to the Rev Principal Rainy on the disestablish- ment question. The Principal had pointed out the disturbing effect of the speeches of Mr. Adams, the Liberal whip, leaving it to be supposed that the heads of the Liberal party had changed their ideas on the dis- establishment question, and pointing out the influence these would have in dividing the party. Mr. Gladstone, in his reply, which has received the sanction of Lord Hartington, states that there is no change whatever in his pesition from what was given in his various public utterances, and adhering to what Lord Hartington indicated on the subject, deprecates the raising of the question by the Liberals asa party until a distinct opinion has been expressed by the people of Scotland in regard to it. The reply is deemed unsatisfactory by all par- ties. The friends of disestablishinent are dissatisfied because Mr. Gladstone does not give a definite opinion, and its opponents are dissatistied because they fear the qnes- tion may be made a party cry in the elec- tion campaign at the last moment. The London Globe calls attention to the fact that in 1865 Mr. Gladstone declared that Irish Church disestablishment was not within the range of practical polities, and that he, nevertheless, supported resolutions in its favor in 1867, and carried his bill in 1868.

English Crops and the Grain Trade.

DAMAGE CAUSED BY PERSISTENT RAINS—THE EFFECT ON THE MARKET.

The Mark Lane Express in its review of the British grain trade for the past week says :—‘‘The agricultural prospects canse very grave apprehensions. Should the rain continue the hay crop will be useless except as manure. ‘The condition of wheat is un- improved. Barley in heavy land is nearly ruined. Nothing but the speedy advent of sunshine can prevent an almost general failure of the principal crops. In con- sequence of the weather and -the light supplies in England, wheat has improved one shilling per quarter in the majority of country markets but despite the firmness of holders it has been difficult to establish any advance for home grown in London in the face of liberal arrivals and the low prices of foreign varieties. Previous rates, how- ever, have been well supported, especially for cheice parcels and the tendency is rather towards an advance than a decline.”

The Russian Army.

The official report on the sanitary condi- ticn of the Russian army of the Caucasus for 1878 shows that there were about 290,- 000 men in that army, and that there were altogether 50,000 cases of illness reported at military and private hospitals. This shows that each soldier of the army of the Caucasus was on the sick list about three times during the year. There were about 20,000 deaths, or 100 deaths to each 1,000 men. The principal disease was typhoid fever, which caused over 50,000 cases of prostration and nearly 12,000 deaths.

The strongest chested, if not the sweetest singer of the world, is one Morro, who in the Berlin Variety Theatre treats his andi- ence to selections from the ‘‘ Troubadour,” while a weight of 700 pounds rests upon his breast. He challenges the singers of the world to compete with him in his speci- alty for a purse of 500 marks.

Rev. Dr. Talmage preached at the Agri- cultural Hall, London, on Sunday after- noon, to two congregations of 20,000 each. Thousands upon thousands thronged the streets leading to the hall for miles, almost blockading the passage of vehicles and pedestrians. Many people were crushed, and Talmage’s carriage was almost demol- ished by the crash of the great crowd.
