 LONDON, Aug. PA dispatch to the Stand ard from Bombay, discussing the news of the dangerous state of affairs at Cabul, says : ''This early but striking proof of the impolicy of the nasty withdrawal of our forces from Cabul-a step most strongly condemned by almost every military man in India-has created great excitement. The cholera which is raging at Peshawur, daily increases in virulence, and the certainty of severe losses among the retiring troops was one of the reasons most strongly urged against the poll cy of withdrawal of the troops during the hottest and most unhealthy period of the year"
 A dispatch to the Times from Quetta dated o-day, says that General Roberts arrived at Khelat-I-Ghilzai on the 24th instant. General Phayre will march from Chaman for Canda- har on the 3Oth instant The army of Ayoob Khan has returned to Kunieri, eight miles east of Candahar. All is well at Quetta, on the Pishen frontier and in the Bolan Pass. Troops are arriving here daily. The Murree has been reported since the affair at Sibi, where the tribesmen fell upon party of re- tiring British troops, inficting severe loss, as reported on the 10th.
 The dispatch seems to disprove the Stand ards report from Chaman that the troops of the Khan of Khelat had mutinied

The enemy's loss was heavy, The British calvary made two charges, cutting down many of the enemy.

Irish FfIfbusters-A Long Debate in Conn mons-Long-Winded Home Rulers. LONDON, Aug. 27.-The debate in the House of Commons which began last night continued until 1 o'clock this afternoon Lord Harrington repeatedly urged the Irish members to proceed to the consideration of the vote of supply, assuring them that they much mistake if they thought to wiring pledges from Government by obstructing supply. Notwithstanding this appeal, the discussion was kept up by MT. E. Dwyer Gray, member for County Carlow, and others The motion to report progress negatiyed by a vote of 142 to %, when The O'Dono- ghue, member for Tralee moved an adjourn ment, 6 motion which was negatived. At 4:15 Mir. Parnell renewed the motion for ad- journment. Lord Harrington objected, and said the vote on the Irish constabulary had been down for three nights. The Irish mem bers, instead of proceeding with it, had raised discussions on other matters. At 5 a. m. Mr. Alexander Sullivan member for Louth, was speaking in justification of the procedure of the Irish members. MT. Sulli- van spoke for almost an hour. Mir. Parnell again suggested an adjournment, and ab- solved himself from all blame for the present state of affairs, which he said was the result of Lord Hartington's headstrong course. At l2:50 p. m. Lord Harrington accepted the proposal of MT. Parneu that the other Irish estimates be voted tonight and the constabu- lary estimates on Monday. The House then adjourned to meet again at ? o'clock this afternoon.

Mysterious Poisoning Case-Tvvo Entire
 Families Taken Sick.
 UTICA, Aug 27.-A dreadful case of whole sale poisoning has just been discovered. It appears that two families named Orr and Fillmore, residents of Gloversville, few days since started for the town of Wilmurt, Herkimer county, to visit relative. The two families consisted of eight persons Adam Orr, wife and child; Darius Fillmore, wife and two children and g guide. Mrs. Orr and Mrs. Fillmore were sisters, and they were on their way to the home of James Evans, their father. The town of Wilmurt is in the North Woods and sparsely settled. When the party had reached the town of Gray, Herkimer county, Mrs. Orr was taken violently i'll with pasms. The same symp- toms soon after were experienced by other members of the party, and when they reached their destination Mrs. Orr and her husband were delirious, and the rest also in critical condition. Two physicians were summoned and discovered traces of arsenic poisoning. They hope to save the children, but think the recovery of MT. Orr and Mrs. Fillmore doubtful The direct cause has not yet been ascertained, but the poison must have been administered in the food or drink. Where the party are quartered is so remote from lines of telegraph that very little details can be obtained. Only the barest outline of the mysterious affair has yet come to hand. Foul play is suspected, but it may prove to be case of accidental poisoning.
