ment prevailed at the clubs and
other places of resort last night re.
spectihg the news which, II Is re-
ported, has been received concern
ing the movements of Russia in
AfghaEistan. The statement of
Sir Stafford NorthcOte in the House
of Commons, that the government
had found itself deceived by the
report that the Russian envoy han
lett CabuI, aud that it had ascer-
tained, although the envoy had re-
turned to the Russian legation
which he had es ablishej at CabuI
and still Remained there, has pro.
duced great impressions; and his
emphatic declaration that England
would under no circumstances t0l
crate Russian Interference in AT
ghauistan affairs Is received as al
m ost u declaration Of war against
Russia.
1t appears that Edward Byrne
Nj ,dden, who sent the letter to the
Home office threatening the life OF
Queen Victoria, is u somewhat &c.
centric and probably half-witted
man, who is well known among
the nsbitue' of Leicester Squar.
and Soho, where he is often seen
in the haunls of foreign refugees.
His letters, which are written IN
bad French, are mainly made up
of rather incOherent invectives ana
demands for all immediate and
rad cal change in the goverpment.
But little Importance is attached to
the letters or their writer.

VIRGINIA DISGRACED.

The once proud Commonwealth OF
Virginia, the Mother of Presidents has
fallen into deplorable condition The
present Democratic Governor, who
means to do right, is confronted with
reputation, to which his party has a
tendency, and finds it impossible to Dor
row the triiling sum of 5000. 900, with.
out which a large number of public
schools must be closed. The Governor
pleaded hard at n conference with bank
presidents TO effect this loan, but he was
put off with evasive answers. The
bankers SAYS the Baltimore Sun -
have vivid remembrance of the
repudiating tendencies of the last Leg
islature, and are naturally afraid to
place faith in the honesty of the next
one as long as furcibe reimbursement =
is advocated by a portion, at least, OF
the Virginia newspapers and politicians.
In other words, Virginia's credit has
been SO tempered with by men who now

The Democrats, as a party, have
never been in favor of free education,
nor, indeed, Of any education at all.

pie are the larger will be the Democratic
majorities.

the views set forth in this movement.
and which are thoroughly believed in
by large number of able and Jealous
ministers of the gospel, show that this
is not so completely an age OF unbeliei
as has been supposed. That large
number of educated preachers in this

the old apostolic faith in the speedy
coming of the Saviour is an important
fact among the Indications of our times,
That unbelief has unsettled the minds
Of large proportion of the literary
men, philosophers and journalists OF
this generation, we are not permitted tn

such plain, simple preachers of the Cos
