in co .siquence reo•lved from Boston, U.S.A., a pro.-
pedal ut a " sewing miohine engine," adapted for
either manufaeturang or family nsa in which steam is

THE APIARIES WAR.

The following despateh was reales(' at the War-
offioe, on Wednesday, from Sir Garnet Wolseley :
" Camp, Fommannah, January 28, 1874.
"All in progressing favourably. My oatposta are on
Bahrein river, abut 27 miles from Coomassie. The
King hu sent all the white captives, and says he
wept!' the terms I °flared, and will pay the indemnity
I demand. I halt here for a few days to oolleot
stores."

Information from the Western Morniug News' oorree-
pendent is quite inconslsteot with the idea that Sir
Garuet WoLesley haa erupted £230,000 as indemnity
without some other very substantial consideration.
Sir Gunet's first reply wu thst he would march up to
Gamut.% and demand gold dust to the value of
£5 000,000, with an esoort to 'unsay it to Cape Coast
Cash.; and although there was no doubt that ea for.
'Ridable a sum was named for the sake of effect, sad
that one-fifth of it would bo Devoted, there were so
many evidences of ample wealth In gold and jewels,
that it was fully understood the out of the war would
be isolated upon. The war, it is added, la virtually
over, only diplomacy being required. The arrival of
1,000 native carriers had relieved anxiety al to true-
port. and one wing of the 23rd Fusiliers landed no the
25th of January, and proeseded to the front. The
tiarmatan waa expected back from Gibraltar sad
Ascension in time to embark the 42ad Highlanders for
the return home.
