Mahdi seems to be in great

—Gen. Grabam and the guards have embarked for England.

Fashi, a prominent leader of the Mahdi's rebellion, is dead. Wolseley telegraphs that Sennaar and Mudiryeh have been clear- ed of the rebels.

— The next ansual meeting of the Royal Society of Canada will take place at Ottawa on the 26th inst.

——( en.

— Lord Wolseley speaks highly of | the Canadian voyageurs, and says that they were of the greatest possible value, and that their conduct was excellent.

—Gen. Wolseley has issued a farewell address, in which he annouaces the with drawal of the British troops from the Soudan, and highly praises the conduct of all departments of the service during the campaign.

Prince Bismarck answered a deputy who asserted that Eoglish and American manufacturers were far in advance of those of Germany, by saying that Eng- Jaud was centuries behiad Germany in civilization.

—The annual meeting of the Grand Trunk Railway Company was lately held in London. It appears that the deficit in passenger traffic was £159,000, and during the year the total loss in the pas- senger business was £188,000 £265,000 in merchandise, and £4,700 in miscellan eous items.

—Mr. Lowell has been superceded in the office of United States Minister at London; but, in the course of a recent speech, after declaring that if he had been at home last November he would have voted for President Cleveland, he added, in the words of Job, “ Though he slay me, yet will | trust in him.”

—A London despatch says: —‘‘The final instalment of Granville-De Giers des- patches on the Afghan dispute will be issued during the Whitsuntide recess of Parliament. The Conservatives will postpone Parliamentary action until all the papers are presented. The publication of the first despatches engrosses the at- tention of political clubs. Tbe dominant feeling amoug the Liberals is that Gran- ville’s conduct with respect to the negotia- tions was weak, and that he tailed to perceive M. de Giers’ intentions until news of the seizure of Penjdeh by the Russians, was received.”

—The Quebec Chronicle, referring to the preparations in St. John for the de- parture of the Fasiliers says :—‘‘These troops wear the scarlet uniform. It is to be hoped that the meu will be furnished with coats of a less strikiag color before they leave their homes. We have already lost too many men in this war, and our principal cause has been the striking mark which our uniforms have afforded the enemy. A change ought to be made without an inustant’s delay. The men might wear blouses or dark colored smock-frocks over their tunics. One thing is certain, the red coat must go while our soldiers are on active service.

—A correspondent of the Quebec Chronicle advocates the formation of a ‘Voluateer Force,” to keep order in the Northwest. He points out that many of the militiamen now engaged, are men of family and busiuess,and that it is most importantto them to return to their usual occupations ; while on the other haud there are thousands of young men, with no strong ties, who would be glad to enlist for a year ora term of years. He says, “There cannot be a doubt that tor several years to come a large mili- tary force of some 3, or 4,000 men will have to be stationed throughout the Northwest in consequences of the present troubles. The military authorities should therefore commence, and without any turther delay, to raise and organize this force and send them to relieve the militiamen at presentin the field, and thus enable the latter as soon as possible to return to their civil occupations. The Governmeut should consider their inter- ests of the militiamen somewhat, and not keep them in the field any longer than strictly aecessary. This service iu the Northwest, eotailing asit does a long absence from business,will be disastrous to the private affairs and future of a great number of the force now serving eithor as officers or in ihe ranks; and it is nothing short of downright cruelty to keep the volunteers in the field away trom their civil occupations, when a force could be raised in a few weeks through- oat Canada, of some 4,000 meu, who would voluntarily enlist from the pre- sent militia force to serve for a long

period of time wherever required.

Both Mrs. Young and I feel assured that the honor of this ‘‘ Isle of the Sea” is quite safe in the hands of our volunteers for courage and bravery, and we pray that the ‘‘ God of Battles” will protect our heroes, and speedily bring them back to their families, crowned with fame and glory.

On behalf of our Bible Society, I also ask the acceptence of your officers and rank and file of a copy of the Scriptures, to be placed in their knapsacks.

1 have the honor to remain. Your obedient servant, Cuartes Youne.
