On principle I uphold the Lycoum Scheme. The last Lyceum turned out a goodly number of most learned lawyers, interpreters, professore, &c., who now occupy goods positions in Macao and olse. whore. I am therefore at a loss to under- sehoms of re-establishing the old Lycou, stand on what grounds opposition to the which was productive of such excellent results when formerly in existence can be justified, unless it be that the opposition proceeds from motives which I would rather not hint at the present moment.
In conclusion, I may mention that a gentleman in Macao who has at heart the interest of, and is mach concerned in tions I had with him on the subject, strong- education in that Colony in some conversa- ly disapproved of the severo criticisms passed on the Lyceum Scheme.

It seems that the Kandahari regiments at first drove back the 'Ameer's troops and had actually succeeded in capturing three guns, when the Horatis, as well as one of the Kabul regimente, opened fire on them and the irregulars. Never- theless, the Kandaharis retired in good order into the old city, and were pro- coeding to entrench themselves in order to make a final stand; when the other two Kabul regiments attacked them from behind and all was lost.

THE MACAO LYCEUM. ro rR EDITOR OF THE "HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.” SIR-I regret to see from the latest effusion of your Macao correspondent that he still holds the same strong opinion with regard to the Lyceum Suhomo. I thought that he would, at least, have modified it after the other side of the question had been placed before the public. The acri- mony and persistency with which he at- tacks the scheme makes one doubt, in- deed, whether he is a wholly disinterested party, the more so as he is known to be closely connected with public education in our neighbouring colony. In your loader of the 3rd instant you stated that his identity could not be known or guessed by our Catholic weekly. Now, Mr. Editor, permit me to say that your Macao corre- spondant's identity has been known to the public since he penned that celo- brated letter rospecting the political situn tion in Portugal, which happened to bo quite the reverse of what he depicted it to be. Your favourite Latin quotation ne sutor ultro oripidan could not, I think, be more fitingly applied than to your corresponde cnt. With this digression I now proceed to the real question at issue. Your cor- respondent in his desperato efforts to effect a swooping condemnation of the Lyceum Soheme has advanced arguments that tell against himself. He states that the Macaenses are debarred from public or civil employments in Portugal, but he does not assign any reason for such a state of things. If the Macaenses are in any way excluded from these employments, it is simply because of their lack of op- portunities to pursue higher studies and
battle, and Ayub retired with all his sowara, but it is not known where he
has gone.
Simla, 13th October.--News has been received from Kandahar to the 9th. A letter reached the Amir on 7th from Sirdar Abdal Kudus Khan report- ing the defeat of Sirdar Abdus Salam Khau at Chasmahi-Oast, and his capture with thirty sowara.. In a second fight, Lainab, with three regiments and two mountain guns, was defeated and bis gans taken. Luinab had sent messen- gers to Abant Cudos to make terms of surrender.
The Girishk force unner Mahommed Yosuf Khan has crossed the Helmand.
The Amir has written to the Horat. chiefs to assist Mabommed Ishak Khan and Yasuf Khan, who are advancing from Maimounah and Kandabur res- poctively.
