LATER FROM ENGLAND.

By the ship Jubilee, Captain Luce, at New
York from Portsmouth, England, which place
she left on the 9th ultimo, London papers to

The cholera, which had created great alarm
at Madrid, is said to have nearly subsidized
Most of the persons who had been named as
censors of the Spanish press had declined the

tending in the Spanish capital.
1t was reported in Paris that the Duke de bas-

General of Algers. M. Laffitte had been elect.

Letters from Madrid Of the l4th OF June,
state that the Council of Government has pro-
posed that the decree, deprving Don Carlos OF

Alexander Raphael Esq. (merchant tailor)

The London Christian Observer for June
1894 remarks, that the Bishop of Calcutta (the
Rev. Daniel WILSON, {" has determined that the
distinction of castles must be abandoned, imme-
diatey among native Christians. "The Cos
pei" his lordship says, recognises no distlnc-
tions such as those of casts imposed by a
heather usage, bearing in some respects
supposed religious obligation, condemnlng those
in the lower ranks to perpetual abasement, pla..
cling an immovabe barrier against all general
advance and Improvement in society, cutting
asunder the bonds of human fellowship on the
one hand, and preventing those of Christian
love on the other" This is very important
step on the part of Bishop Wilson, and must,
we think, have very important effect upon this
part of the population Of British India.
LONDON, June 26.-The indsposition to spec

in all directions, leaving behind them number
of killed and wounded, horses, &c. &c. General
Lavalleja, and others, escaped into the Bra
lillian territory, where they were disarmed, &c
The President states that his loss in the en-
counter only consists of one killed and ten
wounded; among the latter is Commandant
Areano, but not dangerously.
The conduct Of the Government troops is a.
so highly eulogized.
The President in letter to his wife dated

ton.
CoRDovA--It was reported that an invasion
Of this Province by the CHILEAN Indians was
likely to take place. II appears that the Go
vernment Of Cordova had received official mo-
tice from Chill, that the Indians, in number
about two thousand men, were preparing to
pass the Cordileras. The Government Of Chill
had provided every means in their power to
Illustrate the intended incurson; and that of
Cordova had taken measures to repel it, should
it be put in practice.

In late London paper we find the report Of
debate in the British House of Commons re-
speeding the Office of Post Master General.
Some of the abuses which have been practised
in our republic are either committed or appre'
hended in England. But the malversation in
the Post Office Department at Washington lar
exceeds what has happened or could happen
in any other country. No British king or mi.
nistry would venture to retain in place Post
Master General, whose management or misma.

A subscriber from Fauquier County, (Va) in
a note to business letter, makes some inquiry
in relation to old Mr.. Duane's new Aurora
asks us if it is to be published in Philadelphia as
announced-and, if any numbers have appeal
ed, requests us to notice their contents and ge-
neral character. We know as little about MIR.
Duane's paper as our correspondent, and do
not desire to know any thing. We have no re-
spect for the reviler of Washington-he who
was concerned in attempting to blacken the
character of the Father of his Country, and is
now brought forward for kindred crime, tina;
of auding the man who sought to disgrace his
son! One number of the Aurora redirirus has,
we believe, been issued. But the whole affair
it is thought. will be failure. In 1916, the
Richmond Enquirer denounced old Mr. Duane
as an apostate, and every thing else, almost,
that was bad. The Enquirer might now add
imbecility to apostacy and be perfectly correct.

Elephant at Greenfeid.-Thc elephant was
two or three hours in getting over the Con-
neciicut. the evening after he was exhibited
here. As soon as he got into the middle Of
the stream, (very deep and rapid at the place
where he cEossed) he began TO play about in
the water and gambol in the most antic man
ner; and when his keepers undertook 10 pun
ish him. he immediately sunk ten or aneen
feet, leaving them To swim for their lives. A
dog who is dOmesticated with him was then
sent to seize him by the ear and lead him
out; the elephant wound his trunk around his
body. and tossed him twenty feet IN the air.
All this was done good humoredly. however,
and evidently with no intention of serious mis-
chief When he was tired Of his frolic he
came out and surrendered himself The
scene was watched from the bank by con-
siderable number of spectators.
