There wre to be 80,000 troops withdrawn from Bosnia, and the remaining divisions, now numbering 100,000 are to be reduced to a peace footing by the dismissal of re- servists. Lonpon, Oct. 15.

A despatch to the ‘* Times” from Vienna, states that the stoppage of the Russians in the neighborhood of Constantinople, seems to have caused some stir among the Cabi- nets, though none have made any direct representation.

Santa Cruz is already declining rapidly and its land is therefore totally ruined.
Havana, Oct 14.
A French steamer has arrived bringing further particulars of the insurrection at Santa Cruz. The insurrection broke out in the west end of the Island where three- fourths of the town were burned and pil- laged. The insurgents then traversed the Island toward the basin, but the timely arrival of forces from St. Thomas saved that portion of the Island. Sixty-seven sugar estates have been burned, and only nine sugar estates of any value remain. The principal leader of the insurrection has been caught, and is now undergoing trial. The insurgents are all negroes, and there are about 8,000 of them still scattered about the country. The cause of the insurrection was short payments of wages and the re- fusal of the authorities to give passporta to negroes.

A Loxpon despatch to the New York Herald says that the alarm among English holders of gas stock, concerning Edison’s electric light, is well founded. Edison has perfected his invention in secret so that it will supercede gas at one-third of the lat- ter’s cost. A company of wealthy capital- ists has been formed, and a new light will shortly be introduced to the public. Patents in the United States have been granted and papers will at once be despatched to secure patents abroad. This will be good news to householders and others, for a cheap light to take the place of gas in illuminat
The Duke of Argyll on Disestab- lishment.
The Dake of Argyll has written a letter opposing the views of Mr. Adam, M. P., of Alloa, who favors the disestablishment of the Church of Scotland. We quote a por- tion of the letter :—
The question of disestablishment in Scotland cannot be severed from the same question in England. Each established church has, of course, its own peculiar features, exposing it to different objections, and inviting different methods of attack. Bat the main principles invoked in the cause of disestablishment are principles which apply equally to both. It is in vain to deny this, and worse than useless to en- deavor to conceal it. The Liberation So- ciety may be quite right in think- ing that the Northern Establishment can be overthrown more easily than the South- ern. But they appear to appreciate better than Mr. Adam the leverage which they will gain by taking this easiest step first. That the common Presbyterianism of Scot- land will suffer by Disestablishment, so long x3 Episcopacy continues to receive natio recognition and support in England, is a consideration which weighs much with me; that Presbyterianism involvesand represents principles of infinitely greater importance than any of the differences. which divide Presbyterians among themselves. These principles have been in past times, and I venture to think they still are, intimately connected with Liberal politics in Scotland. I object to their being dethroned from that position in national recognition and ac- knowledgment which is the great achieve- ment of our national history.
No one can study closely, as I have lately been led todo, the work which lies before the Liberal party in redeeming the country, among other things, from the shame and folly of our recent foreign policy, without deploring the distractions which must arise out of these calls and incitements to eccle- siastical jealousies. The good sense of the country has hitherto resisted them. But not the less have they contributed in many minds to that nausea against Liberal poli- tics, from which we are only beginning to recover, and which they are so well calcu- lated to-revive.—I am, &c. <->
Gambetta’s late memorable speech, al- though it has aroused enthusiasm for his cause and for his person, among a large number of Ultra-Republicans, is likely to affect the moderate members of the party rather to his disadvan than otherwise. His attack on the Church is considered by prominent Republicans to be ill-timed, if not unfair. The Bishop of Angers has re- plied to it on the the Conservatives in a modest and digit tone which can- not but exert an influence favorable to. his order. It has been often said that the worst method of attempting to put down a sect or a faction is perseeution. That the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church is. as true to-day as it was in the days of Nero or Diocletian. In one point the Bishop has answered the great tribune very effectively. Gambetta had said that as the fortunes of France went down, those of the Jesuits went up. The Bishop re- minded the orator that it was at the time of France’s greatest degradation and impover- ishment that he rose to power and ine fluence, which it is not easy to deny. Some think that the leadership of his party may slip from Gambetta’s hands if he does not well watch his own movements and those of both his friends and foes, and M. Clemer- ceau, the deputy for Montmartre, is al- ready mentioned as his possible supplanter.

A philanthropic lady of New York, Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, has offered, if need be, to support the entire expense of a com- mission to enquire into the causes of the yellow fever and its treatment, such as the citizens of Memphis petitioned the Presi- dent to appoint some time ago; but others are asked to join in defraying the costs. The object of the commission 1s mainly to investigate the original sources of the pes- tilence with a view to preventing its recur- rence. Three members have been already appointed, and it is hoped that Congress will increase their number as soon as pos- sible. Such an enquiry will be of the greatest use in settling the truths of the various reports, favorable and unfavorable, which have been circulated respecting the sanitary condition of Southern cities, and reform in them, if reform be needed. This is not only one of the most generous, but it is one of the most intelligent deeds which the dreadful pestilence has called forth. Over eight thousand lives have already been lost by the recent outbreak of fever, and before the cold weather sets in the number will probably be increased to ten thousand, if not more.
