Of the late king, had committed suicide. He

The Right cf Search-The Times of the S0th
ult. contains Lord Aberdeen's reply to Mr.. Ste
venson's note on the right of search, and its re-
marks upon this state paper, says: Lord Aber-
deem begins by disclaiming all responsibility for
any expressions used by his predecessor, Lord
Palmerston;-lc then explicitly repeats his for
mer renunciatlons, on the part of this country, of
all claim to right Of search over American ves-
sells in time of peace; and Observes that when a
vessel is once asceitaned to be American, the
British cruisers are ordered to abstain from all in
terferance with her, be she Slarer or otherwise.
With American vessels, whatever be their des-
tination, British Cruisers have no pretenson in
any manner to interfere. Such vessels must be
permitted, If engaged in it to enjoy monopoly
Of this unhalowed trade, but the British Govern
ment, concludes Lord Aberdeen, will never ell
dure that the fraudulent use of the America
flag shall extend the iniquty to other nations by
solemn treaties with this country for its entire
suppression"
Prince Paul Esterhazy has made up his mind
to retire from the English Embassy, and leave
public life altogether, in order to devote himself
to the improvement of his vast estate in Hun
gary.
Temperance in EelGnd-We are sorry to see
Sir Robert Peel has stated in Parliament that the
temperance pledges in Ireland appear to have
failed, and that the consumption Of whshey had
been increasing there since July last.
Sir Robert Pecls .Nc,c Financial and CONNER
cial Policy.-In the House of Commons, March
18th, Sir Robert Peel brought forward new
scheme of finance. He shows a deficiency Of
100000, 900 in the revenue since 1897. And he
proposes, to meet this, and support two large
wars, one in India and one in China, that pro-
perty tax be levied, terminabe in three years, UNI
less otherwise determined by Parliament, at the
rate of I'd in the pound, or tf2 lss 4d per cent
upon the property and the income Of the country,
exempting, however, all incomes which do not
reach 9lj0 year.
The Funds, Markets, &c.-The same accounts
ofthe gloomy state of trade continue to reach us
by every arrival. With occasional notifications
the report from one district will apply to all the
manufacturing towns. The report from Man
chester says, "Contrary to our wishes and expec-
tations we are forced to confess that this eek is
the worst business week we have experienced this
year. If an alteration does not soon take place,
most of the mills in the neighborhood will be clo
sed or inevitable ruin will ensue. 1t is also with
pain we hear that the miserable wages of the
working people are being reduced in every dis
trict, and that the people submit almost without
n murmur." From Bolton the report is that
with continued depression OF trade is still want
of employment for laborers and as a consequence,
restitution amongst the lahorng classes contin-
ues TO exist in every variety Of form"
DESTRUCTION OF THE BRITISH ARMY
IN lNDIA.-Advices from Bombay to Feb
ruary. l, state that abool has fallen, the
whole British force there, amounting to
six thousand men, annihilated; one entire
British Regiment, the 44th, erased AT one
fell swoop from the army list, and five
native regiments cut to pieces. The la
dies of the envoy and the officers, sixteen
in number, have been carried into capti-
witty by the ruthless Ahghans. Sir. VIM.
McNeaghtan. our envoy to Cabool, had
OF Dost Mahomed, his head cut of, para
ded through the streets on pole, and
stuck in derision on the walls of Csbool
by the iflrialed insurgents.
Thus fell, in the discharge Of grea!
public duty, an amiahIe man, gentleman,
and a scholar, whose loss as public
servant is sincerely deplored, and for
whose delh, by the hands of an assassin,
and traitor, the whole British empire
must demand, as India has already done
the most decided vengeance. Dost Ma
homed himself, it appears. is at present al
Sharunpoor. He is strictly watched and
guarded, but otherwise under no par'icu-
lar restraint. So far from having been de
tectcd in correspondence with his former
subjects, or suspected of exciting them
against us, he seems to be severely and
deeply annoyed at the conduct of his
