the close of the Session attention will be directed to the subject. Mr. Gladstone is First Lord of Lord Carlingford is Lord Privy Seal and Lord the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer; President of the Council; and the Earl of Kim- berley is Colonial Secretary and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Mr. Baron Fitzgerald has tendered his resig nation, which has been accepted. The learned Judge was called to the Bar in 1834, and applied himself chiefly to Equity practice. He was a keen and subtle lawyer, and was among the ad- vocates who defended O'Connell and his friends in 1843. He also defended Mr. Smith O'Brien in 1848. In 1857 he was made a Bencher of the King's-inn, and was raised to the Tlencit without having passed the official stages of Solicitor and Attorney-General.
We hear it is contemplated by the Chinese community in London to pay a tribute of respect to Sir John Pope Hennessy, Governor of tlong kong. They have decided to present him, whilst on leave in this country, with an illuminated address, which will convey in emphatic language the grateful feelings with which they regard his administration of Hongkong, Sir J. Pope Hen- messy has been offered, and has accepted, the presidency of the Crime Section of the Social Science, Congress, to be held this year at Not: tingham.
“Captain Harry Holdsworth Rawson; who bas been appointed to the Zhalia, additional, as prin- cipal transport officer in Egypt, entered the service in 1857; was present at the capture of the Peiho Forts and Peking (China medal), and for three months was in command of 1,300 Chinese troops, for the defence of Ningpo against the rebels. In 1878, he received the thanks of the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty for his report on the capabilities of defence, &c, of the Suez Canal, He hoisted the English ag at Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, and for one month was military com- mandant of that pläce.

of Arabi's confederates in Egypt, and many start- ling and most important revelations are expected. On his person was found a letter, of which he was the bearer from Constantinople to Arabi; it is written in Turkish cipher, and its contents are at present undiscovered. He also had various testimonials from Arabi for the various valuable Reuter's telegram from St. Petersburg, July services he had rendered.. 23rd, states:-The Turkestan Gazette publishes intelligence from Kuldja stating that excesses were committed by the, Chinese troops on their entry into the Kuldja territory. They overturned and destroyed all the field telegraph_lines, and the Chinese Governor Tsin compelled a Russian caravan which he cucountered to turn back. It was only nilowed to proceed on its journey, in consequence of the energetic remonstrances of the Russian Consul. On entering the town the Chinese committed many grievous outrages, robbing and interfering with Russian merchants in their trade, and maltreating a Russian work- man. The Chinese soldiers took possession of a house, which was formerly occupied by Rus sian artillery officers. At this point a conflict nearly occurred, the Russian soldiers loading their rifles, and the Chinese drawing their swords. Bloodshed was only averted by the interposition of an orderly officer of Tsian Triun. A patrol of Cossacks succeeded in arresting a number of plundercis.
