Montrear, Oct. 8.
_ Sir Patrick MacDougall and suite arrived here this morning, and his Excellency the ‘Governor-General this evening. | ‘The official count before the Judge gives | Girouard (Conservative) a majority of two, ,and unseats Laflamme, the Minister of Jus- ‘tice. A member of the Government stated, |in the presence of your correspondent this evening, that the Government had intended to.tender their resignation to-day, but it | was found inconvenient, so that a delay of ; . . - |two or three days will likely occur. He j said, however, that they would resign some | time this week,
i The Ottawa free Press, this evening, says there is no truth in the reported super- ‘annuation of Chief Justice Richards. | Jadge Taschereau, of the Superior Court, Quebec, will hkely sueceed to the position vacated by Justice Taschereau, and the name of Mr. H. T. Taschereau, ex-M. P., is mentioned in connection with the vacancy in the Superior Court.
The Ottawa Citizen says a number of ap- |pointments have been made hy the ont- going Government. Judge Taschereau, of Kamouraska District, has been elevated to the Superior Court Bench, vice Justice Taschereau, resigned. Henri Taschereau, ex-M. P., will become Judge of the Kam- onraska district. Mr. W. Buckingham, the Premier's Secretary, has been appointed Deputy Minister of the Interior. Mr. La- flambeise, ex-M. P. P., has been appointed Judge for the district of Gaspe. The ru- mors of Chief Justice Richard’s resignation were unfounded. Mr. H. J. Huobrtus (formerly of the Globe staff) has been ap- pointed Gas Inspector. A number of other appointments have been made.
Lonpon, Oct. 8.
Captain Charles H. E. Judkins, formerly Commodore of the Cunard fieet, died last night.
Lonvon, Oci. 8. lt is the impression in Hungary that Aus- tria is in danger of drfting into a war with Turkey; hence the anxiety to prevent oper- ations against Nova Bazar. Loxpon, Oct. 8.
A Vienna despatch says consternation was produced in Andrassy’s camp, and con- siderable irritation of - the public mind, by the Turkish circular sent to the powers, re- questing them to compel Austria to conform to the declarations of her plenipotentiaries at the Congress, and stop the iainaren and excesses of her troops, pending the decision of the powers, and dictating that unless this is done the Porte will consider Austria a violator of international law.
Wo.taston, Mass., Oct. 6.
An excursion train, consisting of 19 pas- sengers, an English coach car and freight cars, met with a terrible accident north of Quincey about a quarter past seven o'clock this evening. The train was loaded with passengers coming from the Davis and Rea- gan boat race at Silver Lake, Mass. The cause of the accident is attributed toa jumping switch or jumping track. The for- ward cars, including the English coach which contained the oarmen, reporters and backers of the oarsmen, were piled upon each other. Reagan is. reported killed. It is impossible at this time to give an esti- mate of the killed and wounded. Various persons have estimated that 20 are killed and double that number wounded.
Lonpon, Oct, 8.
Colin, Danlop & Co., sewing cotton manufacturers of Glasgow, have failed ; liabilities $150,000.
Tho Colonial Trusts Corporation has de- faulted in its debentures interest.
Lonpon, Oct. 8.
A Simla despatch says that some assert that the troops advanced beyond Jamrood, and others state that fighting has taken place and the troops have occupied a, strong position near Ali Musjid. The first reports seems the most probable, as a Calcutta cor- respondent reports that the attack on Ali Musjid was postponed for a short time in consequence of a force the Ameer has col- lected. Eighteen guns threaten Jamrood, and it will be necessary to employ the whole garrison of Peshawur for an advance on the Khyber Pass.
It is reported from Amballa that fighting has commenced between the Afghans and Kyberees.
New York, Oct. &.
A London despatch says that the English Cabinet on Saturday recommenced the Viceroy of India to send 100,000 men against Afghanistan without delay. The saine message says that very active corres- pondence is going on between the English and Russian Governmeuts, and war with Cabul is positively decided on.
Rome, Oct. 8.
The Opinione has published an article secking to demonstrate that a ministerial crisis is inevitable, and will probably be caused by the retirement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of War, in consequence of the rest of the Cabinet not supporting the former’s action at the Berlin Congress. This, though it is con- demned by the Ministerial journals, has caused considerable sensation.
New York, Oct. 8. A St. Thomas special states that the in- surrection in Santa Cruz is nearly ended, and although peace is not fully re-estab- lished, the authorities seem to have the up- French and English
men-of-war are protecting the towns, while Danish soldiers and loyal volunteers are scouring the country. New York, Oct. &
The Georgia sailed from Panama on Sept. 29th with passengers and mails (from New York on Sept. 19th) and struck on the reefs on the night of Oct Ist. The night is said to have been clear and moonlight, and the accident can only -be accounted for by her having kept too near the shore. There were hopes of getting the vessel off and the freight which was trairsferred from the Clyde, which left here Sept. 9th, would probably be saved. The vessel is 2,000 tons. ‘She struck on a rock in the Straits of Magellan about 18 months ago, and was floated off. Her value is $150,000.

The Hindustan sepoy requires daily to keep him in health on duty : 32 ounces of wheat flour, 2 ounces of clarified butter, 4 ounces of peas, 4 cunces of vegetables, $ ounce of salt and pepper, with an oceasion- al pint of milk. A Bengalee laborer re- quires the same, substituting rice for wheat flour. Whatdoes he get? As has been said, usually one meala day only, of a lit- tle rice, with what is called vegetable curry —that is, 6 or 8 ounces of pot-herbs, cab- bage, ete., and 4 ounce of oil—for the whole
family. And this is the ordinary daily food. Is it any wonder that, when a bad
year comes, these poor creatures are strick- en down in large numbers, and that large numbers die? It would be a wonder if it were not so. Prosperity among the Ben- galees is believed to mean two or three cooked meals of coarse rice, about a pound a day, and dhall. In the best of times vegetables or fish curry are added. But the salt tax makes salt—a necessary of life to vegetarians even more than to us meat- eaters—so dear that imperfectly cured fish is often the cause of disease. And every year tons of fish are wasted for want of cheap salt in the midst of people starving for want of it. Fish, a mere drug in Ben- gal, isarare luxury. In Onde the culti- vators are even worse off than in Western Bengal. Eastern Bonga! is somewhat bet- ter offnow. The ryots have found their power. In the irrigated districts of Sind, this is the highest prosperity of the com- fortable Mohammedan ryot; a pound of flour, or the most comfortable may even have two, one for dinner and one for sup- per-—that is luxury—clarified butter, salt, a little chopped onion or chili. He makes a hole in the flour, kneads it all up with his hands, makes a little fire and cooks it. This is not such bad diet; but then he has nothing else. He is not so desparately in the hands of the money lender as is the Decean cultivator. This is. prosperity, this is. Now compare these with the a laborer. And first, the “Hindoos here spoken of use ne liquor as a beverage. | could point out a town in England where men can earn wages of 19s. a day, and drink it all away. Ay, and the women, too§ A woman said, ‘‘I think no more of my money than of a flea in a churehyard.” They are not a penny the better for it, either in clothes, lodging, bedding, or any of the decencies, comforts, or true interests
of life. But we will speak, not of such as these. who have no fnture but the workhouse, the prison, the grave,
in this world, as one of their own selves said, and what in the next ? and who might have, oh ! how good a future if they knew their real interests. We will speak of tle sober English laborer, the family man, with the gallon of beer a week, the half pound of tea, sugar, tobacco, untaxed salt, good water, and the rest, and the Hindoo living on inferior grains for the most part, and two little of them ; a little vegetable curry, a little salt—too little—and his very salt is taxed.
Mopet ArcuErs.—Now that the ladies are becoming imterested in. archery, the Piutes are doing a thriviz.g trade in arrows, but their bows are too stiff to be used by ladies—not many white men can draw an arrow to its head witha Piute bow, It causes the Pinte braves to smile from ear toear to see the ‘‘ white squaws” prac- tising at target with bow and arrow ; it seems wonderiul tc them that any one can shoot so wide of the mark. The Piute squaws shoot much better, but it is not easy for them to bend the heavy bows used by their lords. Yet they manage to do very well. A squaw will throw herself on her back, clap both feet to the bow, draw the arrow with both hands, and, letting drive, send it clear through the body of a deer.—V irginia City (Nev. ) Enterprise.

The first of the 1874 elections in Great Britain were held on the Ist Feb . Cn the 10th it was apparent that Mr: Gladstone was beaten. The final figures on the 15th showed that the House stood—351 Conser- vatives, 302 Liberals and Home> Rulers. Mr. Gladstone’s majority before the disso- lution was 66; the contest left him in a min- ority of 49. On the 17th he resigned. It took him only a week to “ sort up his papers,” etc. On the 18th ult., nearly three weeks ago, Mr. MeKenzie learned that his majority of 50 had been converted into a minority of at least 70 in a House of 205 members; but he hasn't ‘* sorted up his papers’ yet. Hither he is more delil- erate than Mr. Gladstone or else he has more ‘‘ sorting to do.”
