" The Parsee community had a day of general

" Within the last two years five captains, three

lieutenants, and three ensigns have exchanged from
or sold out of the 88th Connaught Rangers, a regi-

Cunningham, has brought prominently before the
Indian public of late.
" The committee appointed at the instance of his

question of the best mode of dealing with the Euro-

is adoption of a vagrancy act, to meet the ease of

loaferism' so prevalent in this city.
" The arrest of a peer,' or Mahomedan saint, at

On the morning of Friday, the 19th instant, a
viaduct on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway fell
without any accident to life or limb occurring. The
viaduct in question was on the Bhore Ghaut,
and was known as the Mhow-Kee-Mulla,' being
about six miles beyond Kurjut and three miles
on this side of Thakoorwadee ; £60,000 is set down
as the estimated cost of replacing it according to
one plan proposed, viz., raising a solid embankment
between the abutments of the fallen viaduct—a
work which would require half a million of cubic
yards of earth and stone.
"The Terzab, 1,446 tons, Capt. Anderson, com-
mander, bound from Newcastle, New South Wales,
with a cargo of coals for this port, was wrecked on
the 17th inst., about nine miles from Bombay, at
Alibaugh, and eight of her crew drowned. On the
following morning a lifeboat in tow of the steamer
Sind, which had been despatched to render assist-
ance to the wreck, was upset, and seven of her crew,
which consisted of twelve Chinamen, were consigned
to a watery grave."
Tho 7 Imes of _lndia says :—" The situation of
affairs in Cabul and Affghanistan continues much the
same as it has been for some time past—less pro-
lific of wars than of rumours of wars. The advance
of the ex-Ameer Shere Ali Khan, who was said a
couple of months ago to be marching straight onto
easy and complete victory, owing to the disaffection
of the people in Cabal to the recognised ruler
Ameer Afzul Khan, has been delayed in conse-
quence of dissensions in his own camp. The Sir-
dar Fyz Mahomed, his most trusty and able general,
refuses to do more than defend the approaches to
his own province of Balkh, except on conditions
which Shere Ali seems unwilling at present to enter-
tain. Arrangements had therefore been made by the
ex-Ameer to advance without his general, though
it is scarcely to be believed that he can be so blind
to his own interests as to let the disagreement
become serious, as this would inevitably secure the
success of his rival, the present Ameer. Between
Afzul Khan, too, and his able son Abdool Rahman
Khan there is at least a grave difference of opinion.
Afzul Khan would fain summon his brother Azim
Khan to his aid from Candahar ; but his son is very
averse to this, being jealous of his uncle, who
claims the sovereignty before him. Meanwhile the
Ameer Afzul Khan's troops are shut up in Jellala-
bad, Candahar, Ghuznee, and Cabul, and sur-
rounded, too, by hordes of hostile clansmen. It is
said that about the middle of June the first
division of Afzul Khan's force set out to
oppose Shere Ali's advance, and it is ex-
pected that the engagement, which appears
inevitable between them, will be the signal for
a general attack on the Ameer's other positions.
To complicate matters still more, the Shah of Persia
has lately been introduced as one who may yet seek
to profit by these intestine struggles. Though there
is no proof that his Majesty has in any way aided
Shere Ali in his attempts to oust Afzul Khan, there
are good grounds for suspecting that he has long
been a close and observant watcher of all that is
taking place in Affghanistan. The Shah has long
been desirous of reuniting to his dominions the pro-
vince of Siestan, which lies to the south-west of
Herat, and which, though now Heratic, was for-
merly a province of Persia. lie has recently under-
taken a royal pilgrimage to Meshed for the osten-
sible purpose of worshipping at the holy places
there; but Meshed is in a favourable position for
acquiring early information of the events of the
present struggle in northern Affghanistan."

MANCHESTER, Aug. 20.--We had a spiritless and
depressed market for yarns and cloths generally.
The demand has been without animation, and all
classes of goods have been almost equally difficult of
sale. For shipping yarns the market has become
quieter daily since Friday, and very little business
has been transacted. To effect sales to any extent
lower prices must be entertained. Continued unsa-
tisfactory advices from Calcutta have caused buyers
for that market almost entirely to withdraw from
negotiation for the counts and qualities of yarn
usually shipped to India. For the export market
there is only a hand-to-mouth business doing for-
ward. The market for home trade yarns to-day has
been exceedingly tame, with very little dispoffition
either on the part of our own or other manufac-
turers to operate. As a natural consequence prices
are tending in favour of buyers. In the cloth-market
the demand we reported as existing it the early part
of last week has subsided very much, and for time last
few days buyers have shown a disposition only to
operate at reduced rates—such rates, indeed, as
manufacturers have been unable and unwilling in
many instances to accede to. The consequence has
been a very restricted business. India makes of
cloth have, perhaps, more especially fallen out of
demand under these circumstances, while the better
sorts of China shirtings have in most cases more
steadily maintained or suffered less diminution in
value. To-day the cloth-market has presented ge-
nerally but a quiet and gloomy aspect, and although
sellers in their published quotations do not record
any great decline, yet we find goods of all descrip-
tions weaker in price, and that business transactions
for all markets have been not only few but for small
amounts. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. raport of
this day's cloth market :—" We have to notice a
gradual falling off in the demand since last Tuesday,
and, though holders have withstood any serious re-
duction, prices are obviously less firmly maintained.
To-day our market is dull, but operations have been
on too small a scale to enable us to make any
marked change in our quotations.
CARDIFF,I9tb.—The demand for steam coal keeps
nearly the same as last reported, and slackness still
prevails toe considerable extent. Advices from the
continental markets are upon the whole less discou-
raging than they were a few weeks ago, and there
is a fair probability of an increase in the consump-
tion. The curtailment of operations at the iron
and other works, the opening of so many new
collieries, together with the extension of others, has
brought an increased quantity to market, and hence
the slackness is more felt than would otherwise be
the case. The Birkenhead traffic has somewhat in-
creased, and it is evident that there is a determina-
tion to dcvelope this branch of the coal trade to the
fullest possible extent. Coastwise there is a fair
business doing in house qualities. Coke proprietors
complain of the scarcity of orders, and there are
rather heavy stocks at several of the works. Tin
plates are firm and the works well employed.
LEEDS, 20th.—There was a moderate attendance
of buyers in the cloth ball to-dat, but the markets
were not so active as last Tuesday. The goods selected
have been of a miscellaneous nature, including a fair
portion of ordinary cloths and tweeds, as well as
heavy fabrics, such as beavers, witneys, pilots, and
other over-coatings. There is no change in the
general employment of the woollen manufacturers
of the surrounding districts, most of them being
well employed, but many of them complain that
their orders on hand for future delivery are but
small. Prices are firm, those of cloth as well as
those of wool and woollen yarns.
ROCIIDALE, 19th.—The flannel market has been
thinly attended to-day, and only a small amount of
business wr.s done. The goofs selected included a
fair portion of both plain and fancy flannels. About
as many Yorkshire goods, or rather more, were sold
than last week. Not much business was done in
wools. Prices of both goods and wool were steady,
being quite as brisk as for some time past.
