Safvet Pasha has been appointed Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Nubar Pasha arrived at Caire from Con- stantinople yesterday. He was officially informed that England declines to recog- nise him as Commander and Chief of the Egyptian Army.

England will send a British General to command Baker Pasha’s levies.

GENERAL CABLE NEWS.

Lonpon, Noy. 30. In the Commons, Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ireland, stated that the in- flammatory speeches of Measrs. Davitt, Healy and Redmondhave been considered by the Government and if such speeches were continued, meetings of National

survivors, and it is not reasonable to expect |any great azreement as to time, which must 'be largely a matter of guesswork, but at length, the steamer seems to have taken in so much water that she began to roll over. The Chief Engineer says that the were off and that the water came pouring inte them and caused the vessel to

., sink just as they had hopes of saving her.

The second officer does not mention this tact, but only says that she began to sink acd thata rush was made for the boats. The steamer had four boats, two of them life boats and two of them smal! craft. The ‘second officer and several others got into number 1 life boat @nd left the ves- sel, and he says that he *was unable to return to her owing to the omrrent and sea. | At this time No 2 lifesbont was alongside, | with fonr men in her, neither of the other} | two boats being launched.

—QOne statement of the Patrict is so good that we may be pardoned if we re- peat it. Speaking of some of the sup- porters of the Government, it says:

‘*We venture to say that both of them now bitterly regret that they had not suf- ficient firmness to insist upen what they knew was right, and to vote with the Oppo- sition, when the Government persisted in their attempt to lead the people to believe that the Province could do without direct taxation.”

** Vote with the Opposition,’ indeed ! Why, every ove of the Opposition in the House of Assembly voted with the Gov- ernment on the repeal of the Assessment Act!! They were challenged io the House, over and over again, to vote against the repeal; but nut one of them

did so! If,as the Patriot says, every man who voted for the repeal of the Assessment Act, desired to lead the}

people to believe that direct taxation was not necessary, then Messrs. John Yeo and his friends in the House, as well as the members of the Government, sought to create this impression in the minds ot the people.

The Assessment Act was repealed last session because the Government believed they could do without it for the current year at least, and because the act was, iv itself, expensive and cumbersome. The ‘‘squirming” of the Patriot on the subject is simply diverting. Last session not one of the oppositiou in the Assembly would dare vote for continuing the Assessment. Now, when the editor of the organ sees that the result of the Council elections wil involve heavier expenditure than the Government anticipated, and when he thinks the short oat crop, and poor de- mand for our staples will cause a heavy shrinkage iu the receipts at the Land Office, he shouts against the Government for repealing the Assessment, and insists, in the face of the plainest facts, that they promised that there would be no taxes for their term. The Patriot may try all its tricks. They seldom avail much, and they are not likely to avail anything in the present instance.

lt is indeed well for the country that there is no tax this fall. The dullness in the produce trade is certain not to continue long. The people know who their friends are in this matter. The tax-gatherer is not a very welcome Visitor at any time; but it is indeed a blessing that he is not now hauutiug the peor maus door,

Another fact which would |} seem to remove the matter beyond doubt, | | is that the steamer did not sink until after | | daylight; the two boats kept in her vicinity and if a life boat had then been along side \of her or any living person been left on | board they would surely have been seen by

the occupants of the two other |boats. This consideration also impels ius to believe that Miss Fairall, who

| would be under the captain's special care, lleft the steamer in life-boat No. 2. | The second officer left the steamer before jthe captain and therefore cannot speak of j her ; the chief engineer and Mr. McAvity |were below until the captain’s boat had | disappeared, but the lady was seen all dressed and ready to embark half an hour | before the steamer was abandoned, so we may be sure she had been duly warned of ;its condition and proper arrangements made for her safety. We conelnde, there- fore, that her fate is involved in that of the Captain's life-boat and that if it turns up safe she will not be among the missing.”

A boat, containing eleven of the crew, as will be seen by our despatches, was picked up, off Canso, on Thursday night.

The Sun’s London cable says France is greatly disturbed. The last vestige of con- fidence in the present Government has dis- appeared, but another which shall be any better is not iiamediately in view. The chimerical Government railroad specu- lations,disgraceful condition of the finances, M. Tirard’s mistake of one hundred muil- lions in his report, followed now by secess ions, the mistake of two thousand wuillions in public works, the failure of the crops and \ intages, collapse of the foreign policy, con- dition and temper of the working classes, dangerous fanaticism of the anti-clerical party, intrigues and conspiracies of Bona- partists and Legitimists, and the extra- ordinary energy of the anarchists and social- ists, all have plunged the country into an unhappy turmoil from one end to the other. Paris is at fever heat, and some new and stirring developments in the political situation cannot be much longer deferred.

Senator Thibaudeau is a millionaire and a Grit. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company is, according to the Senator’s political friends, a huge monopoly, whose iron heel is crushing the young life out of struggling Manitoba. The wealthy Grit senator proposes to divest himself of his character as a legislator, and to join the huge monopoly wnose ircn heel, &c., &e. Is it not strange that so patriotic a man as a Reform politician would become inter- ested in an iron heel, &c., &c.? Perhaps the Senator’s conscience is eased by the re- flection that whether there is an iron heel or not, Government regulations hold it in |check, and thus preserve the public inter- ests.

Lord Randolph Churchill would make a good leader of the Opposition in this coun- try, holding as he does the opinion that “the function of the Opposition is to oppose the Government.” The Liberal party in Canada, during the past four years, has performed its functions as thus regarded with the completeness of perfection, but it has not made more headway, or gained for itself greater respect than Lord Churchill has achieved in the British Parliament. Che people believe that the functions of an Opposition are of a higher character than those of mere obstruction and contesta- tion.

Matthew Arnold has discovered that the great want of the French is morality; of the Germans, civil courage; and of the English, lucidity. Like a good many dis- coveries this is far from the truth. The great want of French, German, English or or anybody else, is money, aud they will tell you so.
