NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.
DECEMBER 9, 1878.
A YEAR and a half have rolled away ; and the Datty Examiner still lives.
Indeed it may now be truly said that the Dairy Examiner is one of the ‘ institu- tions” of the Province.
An appetite for.a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales of the Datry Examiner in the city, along
the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubtful if the people could live without their daily paper.
Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the Dairy Examiner, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.
Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Damy EXAMINER, a daily telegra:a containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.
Through the Dammy Examiner the people of the Island shall—from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother eountry.
We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Darry Examt- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.
The local news shall be given through the Datty Examiner promptly, truly and as full as possible.
For the large means7required to carry out this work we look to the people whose wants the Damy Examiner will supply,
{and whose varied interests we shall assidu-
ously endeavor to promote.
The original subscribers of the Darty EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.
The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Dairy ExaMINER would do weli to subscribe now.
In connection with the Darry ExaMINnER the WEEKLY ExaMINER will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year-—payment to be made in advance.

Orrawa, Dec. 6.
Mr. Patrick, Clerk of the House of Com- mons, has received instructions that the appointments made by Mr. Anglin during his last visit to Ottawa are not to be recog- nized in anyway. Acting on these instruc- tions, the gentlemen appointed on the oc- casion in question have been relieved from their duties and have left Ottawa.
Macuias, Mez., Dec. 6.
The schooner ‘‘Caledonia” went ashore on Libby Island early Tuesday morning. The captain and crew of five were all lost; two passengers were saved. The schooner was from New York for Briar Island with coal, where she discharged, and was on her way light to Windsor, N. 8., where she was probably owned by Churchill & Co. The bodies of the captain, cook and one sailor were brought to Machiaspor to-day.
Lonpon, Dec. 6.
The ‘Daily News” says: ‘Sir Charles Dilke will ask the Government on Monday to state the contents of the letter which Lord Lytton, on December 2nd, announced that Major Cavagnari had received from the Ameer of Afghanistan. It is rumored that the Ameer therein expresse<| a wish to make submission.”
The Times’ Beriin correspondent says, ac- cording to reports current in Russian papers Russia has informed England of her inten- tion to occupy Nevo District, near the northern frontier of Afghanistan, should England annex any portion of the Afghan territory. [This correspondent is rather given to sending sensational despatches. ]
It was reported on the London Stock Ex- change on Friday afternoon that the West of Evgland and south Wales District Bank, having its head office at Bristol, isin difli- culty.
Lonpon, Dec. 6.
Before the passage of the Address in the Commons, McCarthy Downing complained of the absence in the Royal Speech of any promise to redress [rish grievances. Messrs. Power and Sullivan, Irish members, pro- tested against the Afghan war. Right Hon. Richard Asheton, the Home Secre- tary, promised that when the list of meas- ures for the session was produced it would be found that Ireland would not be for- gotten.
The Daily News understands that the Viscount of Halifax in the Lords, and Samuel Whitbread (Liberal), M. P. for Bedford, in the Commons, will introduce resolutions hostile to the Afghan policy of the Government, on Tuesday.
Epinsuren, Dec. 6.
The Loudon correspondent of the Scots man says: ‘“‘In influential quarters it is believed that an arrangement with Russia for the settlement of the Central Asian question is on the tapis, and is likely to as- sume the form of a partition of Afghanis- tan.” The same correspondent also says ; ‘*The agents of the Conservative party have issued a circular advising Tory man- agers in the country to be prepared for the eventuality of a general election.”
Lonpon, Dee. 6.
Lord Cranbrook, Secretary of State for India, in the Lords, and Lord Stanhope, under Secretary for India, in the Commens, will, on Monday, move a resolution as fol- lows :
Resolved, That Her Majesty having di- rected that a military expedition of her forces be a charge upon Indian revenues, to be despatched against the Ameer of Afghan- istan, this House consents that the reve- nues of India shall be applied to defray ex- penses of military operations which may be carried on beyond the external frontier of Her Majesty’s Indian possessions.
This does not imply that the burden of war will ultimately fall whelly upon India. The resolution does not raise that issue; it is formed in compliance with Act of 1848, which provides that except for the preven- tion or expelling invasion cr under sudden or urgent necessity, the consent of Parlia- ment must be obtained before any part of the revenues can be applied to defray ex- penses of any military operations beyond frontiers of India. The foregoing concur- rent resolutions will raise the whole ques- tion of distribution of burdens of war being left for future decision.
LATER.
In the House of Commons, this after- noon, Mr. Whitbread (Liberal) gave notice he would offer a resolution disapproving of the Afghan war, and asked for the appoint- ment of a day for discussion.
Sir Stafford Northcote said he could not postpone the discussion of the Government resolution fixed for Monday.
Upon this announcement of the Chancel- lor, Lord Hartington appealed to the Gov- ernment to give place to Mr. Whitbread’s resolution.
Gladstone supported Hartington’s appeal, but Northcote, stating that the Govern- ment’s motion was not necessarily meaning to charge all the costs ef the war to India, he could not consent to.adjourn the discus sion.
‘Chamberlain (Radical) gave notice of an addition to Mr. Whitbread’s resolution at- tacking the alleged unconstitutionality of the Government’s proceedings relative to Afghanistan.
Opposition speakers strongly urged the inconsistency of discussing a motion on a subsidiary point concerning India revenues
the question of the whole policy of the Gov- ernment.
Northcote ultimately yielded and agreed to postpone the report on the address until Monday, and Whitbread’s resolution to be moved as an amendment thereto.
Hartington gave notice of the intention of himselt and followers to support Whit- bread’s resolution.
Northcote said the reference in the des- patch of Lord ‘uytton to the possibility of a direct understanding between England and Russia for wiping out Afghanistan could only be regarded as the personal opinien of the Viceroy as to the probable result of the Ameer’s policy. There was no ground for supposing it referred to any direct or formal proposal.
Vienna, Dee. 6.
It is reported that the Russian General
‘Somakine, who commanded the road to
Herat, is watching the reinforcements of 8,000 men who crossed the Caspian Sea.
Lonpon, Dec. 6.
Detailed reports of the fighting in the Peiwar Pass show that the Afghans, who were posted in the pinewood, resist- ed Roberts’ second movement on Peiwar- Khotal most obstinately, and that some- times they even assumed the offensive, hard pressing the most advanced troops until re- infercements came up.
Ali is quiet inthe Khyber Pass. Re- connoisance has been made as far as Pes- balant.
Tae Ameer is collecting levies near Cabul.
General Biddulph has advanced many miles tothe north-east of Quettah. The advance is easy and the natives are friendly. Not a single body of Afghans remained ure broken at the end of the day.
The Standard’s report of the Peiwar fight says that the English ten kilted and eight wounded.
Lonpon, Dec. 6.
A despatch from Vienna says the Minis- terial crisis at Constantinople produced a very unfavorable impression thete. Khei- redden Pasha, new Grand Vizier, is one of Austria’s bitterest adverseries. He urged the Sultan to forcibly resist the Austrian occupation of Turkish territory. He is re- garded here as an unscrupulous schemer, capable of hastening Turkey toruin. The change of Ministry is believed to be mainly attributable to Russian intrigues.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 6.
Austria has consented to make the con- vention relative to Novi Bazar appliable to Bosnia. The Porte, however, declines the Austrian demand to make eventual evacua- tion dependent on Turkey’s making the cost of occupation.
Minister Layard has received information contradicting reports of massacre in Melnik District.
St. Perenssvurc, Dec.
It is stated the prevailing feeling in Mos- cow favors a policy of peaceful development.

A United States View.
The New York ‘‘Tribune” discusses _ the prospects of the new Governor General of Canada in the style of question and answer. The first conundrum it propounds is: ‘(How is he likely to get on?” To this it replies,
manner and speech show he is following in the footsteps of Lord Dufferin, and if he does, he must get on well. The question, “will he fail or succeed ?” . elicits the re- sponse that it is certain he will get on, but whether he will acquire permanent fame as the ruler of the Dominion is quite another matter. ‘Will the Queen’s daughter be a help or a drag to him ?” is next considered, and the opinion is expressed that her Royal Highness will not bea drag but a decided help. eee $005 oye Spe. cribanend “thas a way of making herself very agreeable when she likes. ‘er dresses "ip simple, her manner unaffected, and while she is not handsome, she has an amiable expression which counts for much.” The last point dealt with is whether the appointment of the Marquis of Lorne will bring the provinces of the Confederation closer together and nearer the Mother State, and to it an affir- mative reply is given. opinion might have been expressed with safety, viz., that the presence of a Royal Princess in Canada will have great interest for the Americans, however republican their political opinions, >
Country Boys.
Boys who are fortunate enough to be born in the country have unmistakable advan- tages over city lads. The country is the place of all others to be born in. The asso- ciations of youth, of home, of school, win- ter, and the farm, work and play mixed to- gether in a delightful tangle, are never rooted out, but grow deeper into the char. acter and become dearer to the being while life passes and the revolving years hold out. It is worth more than an university educa- tion to have been born and brought up ona farm of well-to-do parents. That supplies what no learning from the books ever cans That is a resource that stands by. It is something to feed upon. And if the boy as a man en in business or a profession, he has a stock of health anda sound con- stitution to draw upon that will be sure to carry him triumphantly through when the city boys are giving way all along the road. re and physically, he has by far the
t of it.
