an though the eery fl met of our army were doomed
to perish on these Nubian plain-. Counting Gordon,
we have lost three gen-sals, all men of very high
military capacities, besides three or four colonels, one
of them the hero Buroaby. The worst la that there
must doubtless be much more bloodshed before long.
There must be much more of this fightin,r, which seems
to unite the characteristics and to share the horrors
of the ancbult and,the modern methods of 'mime, the
bond-to-hand encounter and the long-distance

one more sign of the enormous Influence which the
premier's name ezerta and the hold which his charac-
ter has obtabsed upon the popular imagination
that no onager:tousle supposes that he will suffer defeat
in Parliament upon the forthcoming motion of censure,
notwithstanding that there are not ten men in the
House outside the Ministry, who care to c )ncea
their opinion that from one point of view or another,
the policy of the government in Egypt, and In the
&soden Is more or lees reverely °insurable. It is true
that an attempt has been made to organise • peace

up the position of irrec mciiable to wards a waning

chief mover in this endeavour. lie would not be disin-
clined to pose as the Parnell of a Peace and Propor-

hostility towards the premier.

Donee farmers are wise la their generation. In
view of possible contingencies, some of onr agricultural
friends are laying down marly double the amount of

such • demand on their stores as that experienood

THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION.

From the report of the C darnissioners, butted on
Saturday, we learn that se far aa possibis they have
based the formation of the ercunty divisioos on petty
pensions' areas in preference to an aggreete of
;•rishes, hundreds, or poor-law boundaries While
sdol ting this general principle, the Co nenissionei •
have been bound in some cases to modify their lute
in order either to distribute the population of the
county with proximate equality amongst the al
divisions, or to incltn'e in one and the same divielon
important urban districts or ownotraitire engaged in
minim pursuits, Where county voters have been
numerous in a borough the Commissioners bare
endeavoured Co to adjust the several divisions of the
ounty that the populati, n of the division in which the
borough was included should be below that of the
rert, but in soul, instance, this c 'old not have been
accomplished without either agreeing popu'attons
baring similar pursuits, or combining those of a
different character. They have, therefore, dealt
with each case according to its peculiar circumstance,
having found it Impossible to arrive at any definite
rule on the subject, In 'electing the name of •
division the Commissioners have adopted that of
come no.rged brrough within it, and in some eases
sphere there have been mor, I than one borough they
have chosen the most Important. This question lathe
one which has provoked moot dispute in the districts
oonc•rned, one side favouring the view taken by the
Commissioners, another urging that divisions should
be named after the points of the 0-Imparts, in order to
purser.° the county name to each ; • third oontending
that a merged borough ought not to have the prefer.

district. Th. Commissioners remark that the aoxi.ty

ha• the name of their borough probably arm* from an
erroneous impressinn thet if a town gave its name to
a division it wonld nereisavilv become 'Mt Plum for

Commissioners have forme I the 43 count's. into 243
divisions. With regard to the rxtsnrion Of borough
how d 'rice, the Commissir nen felt that they were
precluded from recommending any enlargement of no
extensive • character as would entitle the borough
to an additional member, or to take awsy • member
from the adjoining county.
