dents.
A Calcutta dispatch TO the TINES says: The
new rules for the guidance OF newspaper COR
respondents In the field have aroused storm OF
indignation. Their object is evidently to put it
in the power OF the general to suppress every
thing savoring OF criticism. The rules emanate
from the military secretary. 1t seems certain
that neither the viceroy nor the commander-in-
CHIEF had any hand In their composition or
PRONUNCIATION. II is hoped therefore that the
general condemnation they Will meet Will cause
their withdrawal.

The correspondent of the Times at Simla says:
The idea must be abandoned that we intend to
stand alooi from the internal affairs of Afghan
istan. Ii IS the contrary. Those who now as
sist us Will not hereafter be left TO settle ac-
counts with the future rulers. The correSpon-
dent indicates that the tendency of opinion at

An Editors Sentence.
Adolphus Rosenberg, of the 7O,rn TAX, was
to-day sentenced TO Is months Imprisonment on
the Indictment charging him with publishing
defamatory libels against Mrs Langtry, and to
six months imprisonment on each OF the in
dictmentS charging him with similar offences
against Mrs. CORVALLIS West and Lord LondeS-
borough respectively, and at the expiration OF
his term Of imprisonment he is TO be bound over
IN
for good behavior for eighteen months. Justice
Hawkins said he regretted he could not impose
a sentence Of hard labor upon the prisoner.
LdteT.-The sentences imposed upon AdolphuS
Rosenberg. in the cases in which Mrs. Corn
wallis West and LordLOndeSborough were COM
plainan1S, are concurrent with the eighteen
months sentence in the case in which Mrs
Langtry was complainant, and therefore his
whole term of imprisonment will be only eigh-
teen months.

cepted with caution. There is no reason to
suppose that his partners were aware of his
mal-practices."
