Tur Beitonal Bchoes. — Tue despatch sent to Tur Examin- gr and the despatches of the same day in the maivland papers. do not agree ip many particulars. Tae Examiner's re- rt was the latest, andon that account it is probably the most trustworthy. The accounts iv the mainland papers are from the Jespatches of Saturday. Tre Examiner's account is from the Sunday despwtches. The London Telegravh cor respondent states that, in the engage- ment on Saturday, two hundred Ezyp- tians were killed and wounded, To-day our eorrespondent telegraphs that the Egyptians lost but one hundred killed The allusion to the Highland Brigade. and the uccount of the capture of the green standard from Arabi’s ciack regi- ment (these have not yet appeared in the mainland papers) lead us to suppose that the account received by Tne Ex- AMINER is the latest. —One of the most remarkable incidents in connection with the rise of Arabi’s army is the enormous amount of war material in the possession of the Rebel. The 100,000 men of his forces are said to be well equipped with Remington rifles, and possess an abandance of am- munition. ‘The artillery have 500 Krupp guos, field guns the same pattern as those nsed by the Germans in the war of 1870-71. How did the Egyptians accumulate this material ? —Where did Arabi’s forces spring from? The despatch to Tue Examiner informed its readers that 13,000 were engaged iv the battle of Kassassin. Then there are many others at the strong strategical points held by the Egyptian Rebel. His strength is estimated at nearly 100.000 men. This enormous pumber (for Egypt) too plainly shows the national strength of the movement Hitherto, 16,000 men were considered a large standivg army. Mehemet Ali was compelled, by the Firman of 1541, not to increase his army beyond that number. Let us see what the number was las‘ year : there were then six regiments of infantry, numbering 9.000 men ; two regiments of cavalry, 1,000 men; ove regiment of field artillery, 600 men ; one regiment of coast artillery, 700 men—total, 11,300. This was theforee on paper, but the real effective force was not greater than 9,000 men. —Txe Bedouins, who cause so much trouble by their unsettled mode of warfare in Egypt, are generally regarded as descendants of Ishmael, and as the aborigines of Arabia. They lead a noma- dic life, following their own wild way in warfare, seldom appearing as a united people, and never taking a promivent part io the politics of the world. Their central place of abode is the desert places of Aravia, but now they are to be found scattered over an immense tract of country—froia Persia to the Atlantic— from Kurdistan to the Soudan countries, and in many other parts. They are geuerally well made men, lean, sinewy, and active, taught to endure poverty, aud are utterly reckless of the rights of preperty, Professedly they are Moham- medans, but are iax in the observation of religious duties. They interchange wives with the utmost gallantry. The wild skirmishing in the Egyptian cam- paign is their true delight. No less than 250,000 Bedouivs could be called out by Arabi to wage an interminable guerilla warfare. —The British will require a strong and determived army corps for their advance to Cairo. Alexandria must be held by a strong force, and 30,000 or 40,- 000 men will be required to make a vigorous advauce on the part of the British. —The doubtful allusion to the High- landers begins to grow clearer. It is gleaned from the despatches dated Is- mailia, Sept. 7th., that the Highland Brigade would march from that place on Saturday, and bivouac on Saturday night at El-Magfar. It was to reach Maxama on Sunday, and Kassassin on Monday. On Saturday, these brave follows were engaged in hauling steam launches out of the lake at Ismailia into the canal. The unexpected suddenness of Arabi’s attack which took place before the ar- rival of the Highland Brigade, upse the British plans. —And now the socialistic fever has broken out in Vienna. The police have rigorously searched several houses in connection with the discovery of stolen property at the homes of radical work- ingmen. ‘Twenty-six persons have been arrested, one of the prisoners being Herr Most, the brother of the notorious editor of the Freiheit, who was sentenced to a term of imprisonment for his sccialistic writings io London. This movement is now houey-combing every country io the Eastern Hemisphere. It is specially virulent in Rassia. Bismarck is taxed to the uttermost to suppress its power in Germany. France grows atheistic under its influence. Spain is troubled over the riotings from members of the organiza- tious. In fact, all European countries have now to reckon it as an important political factor. It seems to represent the death struggle of the old feudalism with the infant spirit of modern and changed times, <-+—-rSne-<eiemee—————-- Messrs J. & J Tayuc Fireproof Safe Makers, oF sores tt have opened an Agency in this Cit d appointed (Mr. Theo. L. © thei Sa a The Subsidence. Tak abstracts of pe .rs read at the Congress of Scientists : -semoled at Mon- ‘real are of a most inte: esting character. We must say, however, that some of the subjects treated are so abstruse that, as Dundreary would say ‘‘ No fellow ou earth can find them out, you know.” Among the many subjects that are com- prehensible to the ordinary intellect, a paper by Professor George H. Cook, of the New Jersey Geological Survey, ov “The Change of Relative Level of the Ocean avd the Uplands ov the Eastern Coast of North America,” was peculiarly interesting, as it was on a subject which has attracted much attention on our own coast for, at least, the past half ceutury. We refer to the fact that a large portion of our coast-line bas, within the memory of those living, been washed away by the action of the sea. Prof. Cook attributes this rapid wear of the shores to the sub- sidevce of the coast. Our Island and the neighboring shores suffer in this respect, in common with the whole North Amer- ican coast, The Professor gives in- stances of ob-ervations made all along the shores, from Drisco Bay, in Green- land, to Florida, showing that all along the coast-liue, there was arable land that is now changed into swamps, salt marshes and sand levels. He also shows that there have been periods of alternate depression aud elevation in recent times, aud that the present is oue of depression. To prove his theory that a period of de- pression has ouce before occurred, follow» ed by one of elevation, and again by the present period of depression of the coast —which may have been going on for 500 or 1000 years—he cites an instance which came under his own cbservation, on the coast of New Jersey. The Maurice River is a tidal stream which empties iuto Delaware Bay. About fif- teeu miles above its mouth, it has cut into its eastern bank, so as to ex- pose an ancient oyster-bed, with its mass of undisturbed shells _ still in pairs, aud al! in their natural posi- tions. This bed is fully eight feet above ordinary high water mark, and sti!l there is every indication that it has never undergone any disturbance except in the gradual elevation which brought it above the tide level, and is now lowering it again to its original place beneath the waters. At the close of his paper, the Prof. say that it will be found that the rise or depression affects the whole coast, aud probably the whole Northern Hemis- phere. ‘An accumulation of ice,*< he continues, ‘tin the northern polar regious would be sufficient to move the centre of gravity of the earth in that direction, and thus to canse an increased amount of water in that hemisphere, and, of course, disturbance of the relative level of the ocean and uplands, and the ap- parent subsidence of the land.” As a conpensation for the wearing away of our shgres, we have the deeper- ing of channels and harbors; thus, both the wearing away of the coast, and the different subsidences of the ground be- come great atds to effective navigation. se The Fenians and the Mules. Extraordinary precautions have been taken by the agents of the steamship Castalia, which sailed on the 8th from New York, with 500 mules for the British in Egypt, on account of a rumor that a part of the Irish skirmishing fund is to be used in blewing up the steamship. The butchers in the warket opposite the pier look upon the whole matter as a huge practical joke. The steamship authorities, however, are vhoroughly alarmed, and sincerely believe that an attempt will be made to prevent the mules from being sent to aid the English forces. New York and Chicago Cities. The debt of New York city has reached $97,503,308. That of Chicago is only $8,752,000, since the nearly $4,000,000 water bonds are to be paid from the profits of the water system. After reporting that the tax levy of New York was more than $35,000.000 last year, while that of Chicago was $4,136,608, the Trijune says :-—‘*Thus it appears, with a population buat little more than double that of Chicago, New York has a debt more than eight times as much as Chicago’s debt, and levies a tax nearly nine times as much as Chicago’s assesses for the support of the city Govern- ment. New York municipal government is a terrible example of ‘ring rule.” ;_- Tue Local Government of British Columbia which was formed by Mr. Beaven prior to the recent general election was not defeated after all. It lives, and itis apparent that it will live. Immediately after the local elections Reform papers, relying upon the report that the Ministry had been defeated, boasted that there had been another Liberal victory But there was no Liberal victory. The Liberal victory in British Columbia, like all other Liberal victories, has been indefinitely post- poned. clans: AN opinion from one whose experience the expression thereof is always in order. Mr. Hiram B. Ferguson, a member of the Supreme Court, Bar of the State of New York, whose office is at No. 287 Broadway, New York City says; ‘I consider St. Jacobs Vil a most won- derful remedy. I had been a sufferer from rheumatism for years and pr bably have en- dured a+ much misery from that disease as any man can stand. I tried many of the soecalled remedies without any relief Finally, I used St. Jacobs Oil which gave me almost instant relief. I found it a safe; sure and pleasant remedy. I believe it to be an infallible medicine. It isa pleasure to me to recom- mend St. Jacobs Oil to all who suffer and need its g\od services.” — Tur Society of the Cincinnati, at Philadel- phia, has just received word from Berlin that Prof. Radolph Siemering, the inguished German sculptor, to whom was the contract for executing the colossal statue of Washington for Fairmount Park, has com- pleted the miniature model of the monnu- ment; and has already begna work on the full-giged figure’ from which the cast will be made.

It is not through any fault of the rebel leadera that the attack on Saturday, made by Arahi, was unsuccessful. for a quartr ef an hour the position of the English force and camp looked exceedingly critical, as the infantry were in danger of being out- flanked. The commanding positions were all in the enemy’s hands, while line after line of his cavalry and infantry were seen crossing the sand hills. General Lowe came to the relief of the Brivish infantry with a cavalry forea and threatening the enemy’s left, fore: d him to desist from continuing his flinking. move- ment. The rebel force fell back and for hilf an hour each endeavoured te get round the other. Gen. Lowe’s flank movement checked thatof Arabi The active forward move- ment of the Evglish, together with the superior accuracy of their artillery forced the enemy’s infantry to give way when the fight was practically ended. Ali Pasha Fehmy led the attack of the enemy. Lonpon, Sept, 11. The News’ despatch from Tunis says an engegem. nt is reported near Kairvan, in which the French lost 50 killed and the Arabs 150. No Forward Move at Kassiressin. _—- eo THE SURPRISE. The Egyptian Loss. Special Dispatch to the Hxaminer. ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 11. The British forees are still at Kassassin, in readiness for any important movement. No forward movement has yet taken place. The engagement of Saturday seems to have been quite a surprise to the British. The small party of the Bengal Lancers, who were posting videttes, at five o'clock in the morning. found themselves suddenly in the face of a strong advancing enemy. The Lancers at once gave the signal and aroused the whole camp. The latest report of the casualties sus- tained by the Egyptians gives one hundred killed. The British Foreign Secretary declines the Porte’s proposal to land Turkish troops at Port Said. The general feeling is, that the Turks must now submit unhesitatingly to the demands of Lord Dufferin, and that the business of the convention must be closed. [The Times in its leading article of Sept. 7th, says:—The government, in conclud- ing @ military convexation with Turkey is persuaded that the ‘Sultan has seen the folly of trying any longer to thwart the policy of England. T'wo European Powers at least, have intimated at Constantinople that England wou!d be perfectly justified in breaking off negotiations which have been so wantonly prolonged.”| ~ Italy and France Troubled Special to the Examiner. Rome, Sept. 11. There is likelihood of trouble arising be- tween Italy and France. The complica tions arising 6ut of the French occupation have been growing more and more irritating to Ltaly. The present trouble arose in con- sequence of the French Council at Tunis sentencing an Italian to imprisonment for assaulting a French soldier. The Italians think that the sentence was too severe, and shows unmistakable bias. HYNES EXECUTED. Special Despatch to the Examiner. Dustin, Sept. 11. Hynes was executed at Limerick this morning. There was no demonstration by the people. A military guard was in readiness, and military police were drafted from the Northern Counties in case of trouble. [Hynes was a young farmer who was committed for mardering John Doloughty at Knockanane, about three miles from Ennis, County Clare, on Sunday, the 9th July. The trial was concluded before the Dublin Commission on Aug. 14. At the time it was sought to establish an alibi, but the jury, after half an hour’s consultation. found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be hanged on the llth of September. Many ineffectual attempts were made to get a commutation of the sentence. | The trial of the Joyce family murderers has been removed to Dublin. —— rr FALL IN CORN. Special Despatch to the Examiner, Cuicaao, Sept. 12. The corn in Chicago dropped five cents per bushel to-day. GENERAL CABLE NEWS, Loxpon, Sept. 10. Right Hon.

Firing commenced on both sides at seven this morning, and continued with great precision until nine, when the enemy retired. After six o'clock this morning the Bengal Lancers came in withthe news that the enemy were approaching in great force on the vo'th side of the railway. Our army | was atonce put in motion, and by seven an artillery-duel began. —-Arabi’s troops, of all arms, are spread over the entire ridge and a mile and a half up the line. A train, heavily armed, has appeared. Close to where [ stand our forty pounder and Krupp guns are placed, shelling the enemy’s right. There is also a twenty- five pounder a few hundreds off playing on the same position We have the enemy’s range exactly. One. shell burst right over the ener y’s ranks. The Egyptian artil- lery have got their distance vaiy well, and their sheils are dropp.ng steadily into our camp. We have borse artillery extended along a line half a mile in length on the north side of the railway. They are firing rapidly, and at present Egyptians are slowly retiring. Up to this moment no casualities have oceurred. Reinforcements are just coming up from Mahsameh. The Krupp gun, recently captured from Arabs, sent a shell nearly in front of his train. Our infantry are slowly advancing and the enemy are slowing retiring. While a re- connoitering party was returning on Friday, after exchanging fire with the enemy, a long train was observed coming up from the enemy’s camo probably laden with troops, showing that the enemy are ready to meet the English in advance of his main position. No measures have been taken tv conceal the English movements from the enemy. JsmaILia, Sept. 9. As the water in the fresh water canal is falling, the lock gates cannot be open to allow vesse's toeoter. Two steam launches have been dragyed bodily from the lake over sandhills and placed in the canal by Highlanders, two hundred of whom manned each rope. The second division is now in the harbor awaiting orders to disembark. A Russian General arrived here Friday in one of the Imperia! yachts to wituess the opera’ ins. LonpDon, Sept. 9. General Wolseley telegraphs to the War Office, from a point three and a half miles from Kassassiu Lock, the following report of this morning’s eperations :— ‘*‘Noon.— Enemy reconnoitered our ad- vanced posts with eonsiderable of all arms at daybreak. Gen. Willis advanced and attacked them, driving them back with loss. We have taken four guns. Our loss is very trifling. The enemy have retired into their works from which they are now firing at five thousand yards range. I shall return to camp at Kassassin shortly with all the force. I have removed my camp there, as the Railway Canal telegraphs are now work- ing fairly. We have found the buried body of Lieut. Gribble.” ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 10. For We last two days unusual move- ments have been observed in the enemy’s camp. Heavy canonading was heard to-day in the direction of Abuiker and Kiout. Lonpon, Sept. 10. The Telegraph's correspondent at Kass- assin views Saturday's repulse of Arabi Pasha as a complete success for the English, who never calculated upon his attacking them in such manner. The enemy did not retire until the English infantry advanced. Arabi !eft about 200 dead and wounded on the field. The wounded state that the English right was attacked by five battal- ions of infantry with five guns and 500 cavairy under command of Mahmoud Pashia Sami from Salihiueh. The enemy had altogether 15,000 men. Saturday night passed quietly, the enemy having disappeared behind their entrenchments, At daybreak on Sunday morning, the English began to throw up rifle pits around Kassassin, in o.der to pre- vent Arabi Pasha from approaching near enough to shell their camp. The picket charged a regiment of the enemy's cavaly, rode through them and killed ten men, losing but one of their own. The enemy threw many of their own wounded alive into the canal. The Foot Guards have arrived at the front and stores are coming up fast. Weather Bulletin. ee Probabilities for the next 24 hours tor the Yaritime Provinces. Toronto, Sept. 12—10 a. m.
