LATE TELEGRAMS.
LONDON, September 19th'. At a banquet given in his honour last night at Belfast, Lord Dufferin referred at length to his term of office in India and to Indian administration generally. Referring to the part played in Indian affairs by the countrymen of himself and his entertainers, he said that frith men had imported a vast amount of ability, industry, and valour into the Indian Civil and Military services, and he instanced the Marquis of Lansdowne, Loid Connemara, Sir Frederick Roberts, Sir George White, and Mr. D. M. Barbour.
He freely confessed that of
all nationalities, the inner thoughts and motives regarding the problems of life, in the Indian races were most difficult to discern. The changeless East was bound with fetters of caste, and was quite unlike the seething, surging struggle of the entities of a modern European community.
The ex-Viceroy further made claqueátreferences. to the blessings of British rule, and, in a stirring peroration, said that while justice was unknowG In other Oriental countries, Britain protects alike the rights of property, the poorest peasant, and the wealthiest Zemindar, and, above all, the standards of Western moral obligation had vindicated their nuthority, and had planted courts of justice throughout the whole of elindustan.
The friction between the labourers and the blacklegs is at an end. The men have resumed work, and trading and discharging is being briskly carried on.
Owing to delayed reparation for pillaging the Spanish coasting vessel at Tangiers, Spain has a squadron of ships and ten thousand men under orders.
Spain, it is generally asserted, has long desired to hold in Morocco a similar position to that Great Britain occupies' in Egypt.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 20th; The Grand Duke Constantine is suffering from a severe chest affection which has deprived him
of the use of his voice. He has been ordered to the Crimea for a change.

THE SWITCHBACK RAIL WAY.
The grand opening of the Switchback Railway erected in the People's Park Pearl's Hill, was duly performed yesterday evening (and Oct.) in the presence of a great multitude of people. As the promoter had set forth that the occasion was to be celebrated by great attractions, and had publicly given a general invitation to all, just after business yesterday evening a large wives, number of Europeans, with their sisters, and lady friends, wended their way to the region of the People's Park. On arriving at the entrance to the park, Pearl's Hill, at the back of the snake-like railway, was seen to be covered with a vast throng of Celestials Immediately by the side of the entrance to the and a good percentage of other Asiatics "switcher," an area of the park-"the People's Park"--was enclosed, and fenced off with some wire netting. Over the gateways leading into this enclosure wr huge placats, politely informing the general public that an entrance might be gained with an introduction of 50 cents. The Attractions in this enclosure were to be the and of the 58th and the tug-ot. war. It was most amusing to watch each new arrival as he brought up outside this network. The plac irl seemed to transfix him, but seeing so many of his set inside, admittance had to be
no money avail gained, and if there was able, a chit was .fered and taken. We are assured, however, that the only reason of the enclosure was to permit Europeans to listen in comfort to the band, and that there was no particular desire to make a profit; therefore it may be suggested that the proceeds from the enclosure, less the cost, show'd be handed over to some charitable institution. The fun commenced shorly after 5 o'clock with "a tug-of-war" between Chinese and Malays, ten a side. In the first place the latter were not Malays at all, but Klings, and, pitted against ten herculean Chinamen, what chance had they to roll over the prize of $157 the next place it was not a tug-of-war, for, instead of standing up, and having a fair pull, each man, sat down and promptly dug bocfs, and in this manner the performance was small holes in the ground for the reception of his continued for over twenty minutes. The compeli tion might have been a jest, frit seemed to be worked on a co-operative principle. The Chinese changing over, the exhibition lingered wearily over twenty minutes, at the end of which time the Chinese came off the conquerors. The the first to travel upon it was the Hon. Major McCallum. The charge for each complete journey was 25 cents, and the cars were kept busy all the time.

A lurid light was suddenly descried to the south of Peking, as wide as a rainbow spanning the sky, and shouts were heard in the outside the Chen-yang Gate, was on fire. The glare was visible a long time, and on the morning of the 19th September it was known that the superb building called the K'i-nien Tien, was destroyed It was 100 feet high, in three stories capped by an ornament shaped like a water gourd, large enough to hold six or seven men It was built in the time of the third Ming Emperor, Yung Loh (1403-1435), the word used being enormous pillars and beams of the per- fumed hiang-nan wood, which filled the air for a long distance around with the richest fragrance as it burned. Some people say that there were snakes and scorpions in the temple, which the lightning was attempting to destroy in order to purify the building. Others attribute the calamity to the presence of an old spider up in the rafters of the roofs which had acquired supernatural power by its firaense age, and was being hunted by the fire-bolts.
