That exceedingly intricate affair, the
Eastern question, has received another
complication. The old jealousy between
the Sultan and the Khedive has broken
out afrash. and the allegiance of the lat
ter hangs by very slender thread.
There can no longer be doubt that the
Egyptian ruler will take advantage of
any difficulty that Turkey may get in
volved in to make bold stroke for in
dependence. This is bad news for Eng
land, because it weakens her ally, the
Sultan, and shows how successful are the
intrigues of the St. Petersburg Govern
ment.

! There is much reason for believing z
that the selection Of a King for Spain was
most unfortunate proceeding. He is
not acceptable to large portion of the
people, and the army, upon with he
must rely for the safety of his throne, is
strongly tainted with republicanism-
This being the case, should an insurrec-
tion occur, which now looks altogether
probable, the troops are more likely to
sympathise with the people than with
the new sovereign. We shall not he
surprised at any time to hear of a revo-
lutionary outbreak in Spain.

The Missouri Republican, the leading
Democratic journal of the West, has
been examining the Chinese statistics
as disclosed by the United States census
in California, and comes to the following
conclusion:
"When we como to reduce the vexed
question of Chinese immigration down to
sober facts and figures, we find that it is
a matter of comparatively small conse-
quence; and that unless sudden and
unexpected change occurs, it is never
likely, to assume troublesome dimensions =
The views of the, Republican vary
materially from those entertained by
politicians of the Democratic school in
Oregon. The terrible results to follow
the introduction of the "Heathen Chinee''
upon our soil was the sole "argument'
OF Democracy in the last political CON-
bat, ard upon which they rode into pow

A little While ago Gen. Bourbaki, the
French commander, was reported insane.
The dispatches now say he is marching
on Nancy and other points in eastern
Frace with view of cutting off the COM
munications of the German armHs with
their coustry. IF this is true there is
more method in Bourbaki's madness than
in the sanity of some of the other French
commanders. While the German arm
les are now all engaged in the heart of
France, the most obvious thing for the
French to try to do is to cut their COM
munications.

DISAPPEARANCE OF AN IsLAND.-A
large island is missing. Captain Plock,
of the bark 4dolphe, bound from Iquique
to London, states that while passing the
New IIebrides islands he discovered that
the Aurora island had entirely disap-
peared, and no trace of it was to be seen
on the face of the ocean where it was be-
fore situated What makes this occur
renee more deplorable, says the Pail NAL
Gazette, is that Aurora was one of the
most fertile of the group of islands of
which it formed member. It was last
seen in latitude Is degrees 2 minutes
south, longitude 16S degrees % minutes
east. It has been described as having
been about thirty six miles in length and
upwards of five miles in breadth. Any
information respecting it will be thank
fully received, and it becomes question
whether reward should not be offered
for its recovery. If large islands take to
disappearing in this fashion we shall soon
cease to congratulate ourselves on our
.sinsular position" There is, however,
this consolation-tba if England were
to disappear like Aurora Island, there
would, no doubt, be rigid investigation
made into the circumstances by the rest
of the world. France would miss use
ful depot for her refugees; ireland
would suffer from ennui with no one TO

Death of General prim.

t Last week We announced the death of
General Prin, He was wounded by a
band of assaasins, who lay in wait for him
as he was quitting the Cortes, on the
2sth of December, causing his death on
the 31st. Gen. Prim was, at the time
of his death, the most prominent man in
Spain, and had been connected with the
history of his country for the last quarter
century: during the greater portion of
that time occupying high position in
the State. Being extremely ambitious
and fond of power, he sought invariably
to convert the troubles and connections
of his unhappy country to his own inn
mediate personal advancement. With
full and perfect understanding of the Pc
culiar temper Of the people with whom
he had to DEAL he put forth every exer-
ton and used every artifce to endear
himself to them. His enemies claimed
that the great end and aim of his life was
to place himself upon the throne of Spain;
that, knowing the slight hold Queen
Isabella had upon the affections of the
people, he proposed by careful intrigue,
eliminating in revelation, 10 remove
her and occupy the 'head centre him
self. With this view he took leading
part in all political movements, some
times as loyalist and at others rebel
only true to himself He was the chiei
promoter of the war with Mexico, be-
gun by Spain, France and England con
jointly, and finished by France alone
His iutrigues for the Imperial purple OF
Mexico were cut short by the Sc
lection of MaximiIian by the French
Emperor. In 1864 he was expelled fol-
conspiracy against the throne of Isabella
Two years after he commenced the revol
at Araniuez, which terminated in hi:
iynominious retreat into Portugal. III
1868, in conjunction with Serrano and
Topete, he brought about the revolution
which drove Isabella from the throne o
Spain During the interregnum Gen. Priu
delivered many addresses, so extremcl,
liberal and democratic in tone, that th'
Republicans looked upon hiro as conver
to their opinions. His advocacy of The
: election of the Duke d Aosta undeceivet
them and filled them with rage, as the,
looked upon him as traitor to thei
cause Hence his death was decided
upon by some Of the extremists. II,

His death serves no party, but it woul,
seem to bode i'll to the new King. Step
have already been taken looking to th'
prevention ofany attempt at an assassina
