NEWS BY TELEGRAPH,

EUROPEAN.

; ‘oe LONDON, Ang,

A despatch from Cork states that unother case of arms, addressed to some fictitinos person, now hes at the wharf unclaimed, the box arrived at Cork on the steamer from England. Every steamer that arrives is thoroughly searched. The military authorities have recalled all men on leave of absence and refuse to grant any fur. loughs.

Capt. Puyrim, of the ship Jeddah, who recently abandoned his vessel in the Red Sea, has had his certificate suspended for three years.

The chief subjects of public interest for the week have been provided by Ireland. Religious riots, agrarian outrages, collisions between Catholics and Protestants, and the Fenian movement constitute the chief items. Fenianism and = agrarianism are now no longer in conflict. Along the line the land agitators and the Fenians were at variance, but it is now tacitly admitted that there is room for both. Irishmen continue to drill in the early morning. The seizure of arms on the Juno, and the re- cent discovery of gunpowder in a railway tunnel in Cork, disturbed the public mind, More than two barrels of gunpowder were found.

THE LAND AGITATION

has assumed a more demonstrative charac- ter. The rejection ef the compensation bill seemed to produce little effect, Mut the Land League stirred the country by ordering yreat meetings, the last of which will be held to-morrow. Mr. Forster added fuel to the fire by the foolish use of the word @ Cowardice,” applied to Mr. Dillon, M. P which already recoils upon himself. Mr. Dillon taking a leading part in the land agitation. Singularly enough Mr. Parnell is in treland marvellously quiet and only engaged in recruiting his health in order to participate in the debates on the Irish esti- mates.

The most interesting circumstance with [rish matters was the departure of Mr. For- ster for Dublin. The Government attempt- ed to minimize the importance of the visit, but Mr. Forster came here suddenly -as soon as Dublin telegrams announced the discovery of the gun powder at Cork. The chief subject upon which he will inform his colleagues is THE EXPEDIENCY OF REINFORCING THE C0-

ERCION ACT.

The Government is adverse to auch a pro- posal, but Mr. Forster is net the man to reconimend such a measure for slight cause. There is a strong impression that after Par- liament rises and when the rich harvest in [reland has been gathered the landlords will press for back rent. This may lead to violence threnghouat the country. Some Irish officials anticipate that it will be im- possible to pass the winter witheut reim- posing the Coercion Act.

THE INDIAN BUDGET AND THE AFGHAN WAR.

The debate on the Indian budget in the House of Commens was unusually interest ing. It brought out the remarkable fact of the £9,000,000 ($45,000,000), ex- pended in the Afghan war in excess of the estimates, £5,.000,000 ($27,000,000), had al- ready been provided by cash balance. The Government is unable to discover where the money came*from, owing to the slovenly book-keeping of the Indian Government.

The Government ordered General Roberts to march, leaving General Stewart at Cabul. General Stewart absolutely de-

clined to remain there, but proposed to withdraw at the same ‘time, which was done.

SOGIEBTY IS STILL EXCITED

about the Baroness Burdett Coutt’s wed- ding, which was looked for three days agp, at the Savoy Chapel. An enormous crowd assembled there, and were dispersed by the pvulice, amid groans for the Baroness, who would have been pelted in true British fashion had she appeared. It is thought that the wedding will not take place, and that the Baroness will yield to the advice that she received, 4 : Sma, Aug. 21.

It ‘is reported from Quettah that the Candshar garrison has made a sortie, in- flicting heavy losses on the Heratese. The number of British casualties is unknown. It is helieved that the tribes north of the Khajok Pass have collected to attack com- munications with Pishin.

UNITED STATES. Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 22. A special from Marietta, Ohio, says that the people of the town of Lowell, ten miles distant, on the Muskingum River, were horrified to find, yesterday morning, that the twin children of John Farley had been drowned in a tub of water during the night. The father and mother were arrested. The children were only a month old. The renis deny the crime, but Farley says he lieves his wife drowned the babies.
