A number of leading politicians profess to believe that they, see the hand of M. de Nelidoff the Russian Apibassador at Constantinople, i this intest note of the Poste, and say that Turke would never have assumed such a defiant nttitud

without strong guarantees of assistance from! Russia in enforcing her claim to suzerainty over Massowah.

It is stated by a responsible official of hig rank that the recent article in the Standard in n way represented the views or tendency of a. single member of the British Cabinet. While the Cabinet conceives that Canada cannot be induced to go any further than she already ha in the way of concession to the United States. and while England will not endeavor to induce her to do so, there exists some difference of opinion in the Cabinet on the general subject, there being a tendency on the part of some mem- bers, to let the whole matter slide for the present with a view of the eventual resumption of nego- tiations on former lines, but there is another section of the Cabinet which will be glad to see an effort made to effect a general commercial treaty with the United States covering every paint now or likely to be in dispute between the countries, and their dependencies, colonies and prolectorates.

The pre-convention manifesto of the Executive Committee of the National League of Great Britain has been circulated among the branches in England and Scotland. After noticing with satisfaction the progress of the organization the committee earnestly recommends the branches to keep steadily before them the question. Their preference, they declare, where other things are equal, is for labor candidates, and for the most advanced claims that can be reasonably put forward on the part of the working clases, but they have not accepted the doctrine that it is better to lose with a labor than to win with a middle-class candidate. Success has been due to the inflexible discipline and unbroken unity of the irish people, and the committee considers that only by similar methods can' the ranks of the party of progress overcome the enormous forces of privilege and wealth, against which they are fighting. The report again acknow- ledges the fidelity, energy and courage with which Mr. Gladstone and their leaders, and the rank and file of the Liberal party, have fought for the Irish cause.

In Scotland Liberal Unionism has been annihitated, and though the unholy alliance may last a little longer, the committee feels justified in telling the members that the day of struggle will soon be closed, and that the hour of Irelands's resurrection is very near. The conven- tion meets at Birmingham on the 29th inst.

Many rumors which have obtained currency ns to Mr. Spurgeon's intentions are without foundation in fact. It is true that the tabernacle is at the present moment free from all connection with unions and associations. It is not, how ever, true that the pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle has allied himself with any other body, or that he has any present intention of establishing a new denomination. There is the bert reason to believe that the attitude of "Mr. Spurgeon is that of patient waiting, and that when his mind has been fully made up he will announce his decision to the public.

The French authorities have dispatched agents to Canada to aucertain opportunities for using that country as a dumping ground for Frenah paupers and criminals.

dant, and had been inveigled into the conspiracy through his ignorance. Another prisoner was a tailor who worked for junk and sampan men, and against whom no truo evidence was forth- coming. All of them declared that they were not acquainted with one another. The Nan ch'ang Prefect Tsui Ch'un-ti intends recommend- ing the release of the taller and the boy, as it is not their fault which has brought them into trouble. The other six have no hopes of escaping from speedy decapitation: At Jui- chow Fu there were alarining rumours afloat about three weeks ago; as at Hui-pu Sht, where the row was expected, very insolent brigand "proclamations" were placarded in the streets. Three brigands were captured there, and at once beheaded, to" quiet the district. On 29th Sept. a brigand was forwarded from Shang-kao Hien. THE BORE IN THE HANGCHOW This man was cook to a monastery in the Mong-shan Hills, where he was captured by the military, a crowd of men making their escape and leaving him alone in the building. He was severely questioned, and stated that the head priest could travel 1,000 if in a day, and kept up communications between the scattered fragments of the band; that several hundreds of them used the joss-house as a meeting place at night, and that he knew nothing about their proceedings as he only cooked for them. Twenty-four brigand captured seals, and several yellow flags, were also there. On 30th September eight more prisoners were forwarded from Jui-chow Fu. From these

AN Important Discovery is announced in the Paris Figaro, of a valuable remedy for nervous debility, physical exhaustion, and premature decay. The discovery was made by a mission. ary in Old Mexico; it saved him from a riser. able existence and an early grave. We learn that the Rev. Joseph Holmes, Bloomsbury Mansionis, Bloomsbury Square, London, WC, will send the prescription, free of charge, on receipt of a self addressed stamped envelope.

The best place to see the phenomenon is from the sca-wall at Haining, about two miles cast of the Bhota Pagoda, where there is a violent rebound of the flood stream and consequent uprising of the water behind the front of the bore. The bore can be seen approaching from the upper gallery of the pagoda ahout to to 12 miles distant; and beard on a still night one hour before it arrives, when it is 12 to 13 miles distant. It is highest as a whole, and most regular in forth, opposite the pagoda, which it passes at full and change of the moon, at a speed of 12 to 13 knots an hour, precisely as the moon crosses the meridian of that spot. It has its origin off Chi-san, a cape about eighteen iniles East by South of Haining, and travels the city of Hang- to six miles above chew, a total distance of 42 miles. Under certain combinations of wind, spring-tide, and rains up-country, it commences as far east as Chapoo, and retains its distinctive character to about 30 miles above the city, a total distance ST. JOHN of over go miles. The general height of the bore, that is the crown of the cascade, varies at spring tide from 7 to 11 feet. It has been seen much higher on the approach of a typhoon and consequent banking up of the water in Chapoo Bay. The water raised by the rebounds from the sea wall, especially that mentioned in the foregoing remarks, mounts to a height of zo feet or more above the level of the river in the same spot five minutes before.

At neap tides the bore sometimes does not attain a height of over 3 feet; but the speed of its progress still renders it too formidable to be encountered by the largest boats. Navigation for ships the Tsientang is not practicable, though the depth of water is sufficient-if time of tide is regarded-to reach Haining from the ocean in vessels of 15 fect draught and to anchor off the Pagoda.

The sea wall and embankment behind it are together 80 feet broad and the former is massively constructed. It is 4 feet above H.W. spring tide. The level of the town and surround- country is some 2 to 4 feet below H. W. spring tide.

NEW YORK, September 18th.. A Mail and Express special from London says In German banking circles it is reported that, the banking house of Bleichroder is to be converted into a joint Block concern. The Berlin Disconte Gesellschaft, the Austrian Credit Austalt and the North German Bank of Hamburging are said to be undertaking this great operation, All the interested parties deny the rumor, but little attention is paid to the denial.

WASHINGTON, September 8th. The Secretary of the Navy has telefphed to Rear-Admiral Kimberly, commanding The Pacifi station, who is 'now at San Francisco, to send one of the vessels of his squadron to the Samean islands, for such services as may be required of it in the protection of American interesis. The United States steamers Alert, Vandalia and Adams are now cruising in the vicinity of the Hawaiian islands. One of these will be sent to

THE HAGUE, September 18th,. The Parliament opened to,day. Inconsequence of sickness the King was unable to attend. The speech from the throne was read by Prime Minister Van. Karnebeck. The Government intends to present bills for the regulation of the labor of children in factories and for a modifica- tion of the sugar tax.

A certain high official (said to be Li Hung- chang) last month presented sixteen cassia trees (olta fragrans) in pats to the Emperor. Each tree was eight feet high, and with a trunk six inches in diameter, and they are said to have cost Tis. roo cach. They were 'conveyed to Peking and taken over by the Nai-wu-fu‚í‚¢.j by the Comptroller of the Household, and the Emperor is said to have much admired them.
