The troops of the Embassy lodged in two houses in the city joitjied’ by a quadrange. The houses were spacious but unfortunately chiefly constructed of wood.

A desnatch from Calcutta says : From imperfect information obtainable, there seems good reason to favor the view that disaffection will not spread all over Afghan- istan, but that affairs is merely a local emeute which will speedily disappear when the British troops arrive at Cabul. . The Government, apparently, does not doubt the fidelity of the Ameer. The fact that the insurgents did not wait until winter snows had blockaded the Passes, or even until the British had evacuated Candahar, seems to indicate that the rising was wholly unpremeditated. The Koorum column, which will be first te move on to Cabu), is in excellent condition, not having suf- fered from cholera. It consists of the 2d battalion of the 8th regiment, 67th regi- ment, 72d and 92d Highlanders, two moun- tain and two field batteries, ene battery horse artillery, three regiments of native infantry, and three of cavalry, and one regiment of Pioneers,

John O'Connor Pewer. the Home Rule member in the Heuse of .Commons for Mayo, speaking at Castlebar, Ireland, rela- tive to the land question, said he puf it to the Government whether it was better to recognize the pressure of agitation than to have to recognize the pressure of re- bellion.

The Toronto Kidnappers.

The Toronto Mail states that the detect- ives are on the track of the kidnappers who lured Mr. Jaffray away from his home. The parties suspected are brothers of most effeminate es The description given by the livery stable keeper and Mr. Jaffray, and the fact that directly the affair was made public they left the city, leaves little doubt as to their identity. They are the sons of very respectable parents, but during the past eight or ten months have led rather irregular lives, returning home late at night with good clethes very much soiled. It is stated by some lynx eyed neighbors, they were in the habit of chang- ing these for other attire, and then starting off on another expedition. The detectives have scoured the country and the surround- ing townships, and are using the utmost vigilance for their capture. eir photos have been sent all over the country, and Buffalo, New York, Detriot and other American detectives have been thorough!y posted as well as intimated that if the assist in making their arrest they shall share in the reward.
