Yaver Aga's Fall.
London Daily Telegraph. ]

LONDON Daly Ielegrapn.l
Yaver Aga, the eminent Albanian bri
gand chief is just now much to be pitied
man. He commenced business early in the
year 1858, ever since which time he has been
actively and proftably engaged in the pursuit
of his avocations, extending his connection
steadily until all the bandtti OF the province
came to be in his employ and under his su-
prene command. Having amassed hand
some fortune, his sole remaining ambition was
to complete the twenty-fifth year of his public
career in harness, SO to speak, and then, after
celebrating his jubilee festivity, to retire into
private life, carrying with him the respect and
esteem OF his surviving clients. Now, but for
the inconsiderately precipitate action of the
Turkish authorities at Janina, the worthy
Aga's wholesome ambition would doubtless
have been realized very few months hence.
Unhappily for his hopes military expedition
was sent out against him the other day, which
succeeded, after severe engagement with va
vers principal band in capturing him, as we'll
as the managers and cashiers Of his several
branch establishments, who were in attend
snce upon him with their annual reports OF
profits and losses at the time when his retreat
was surrounded and stormed by the Ottoman
soldiery. AS Yaver Aga has been forwarded
to Stamboul in chains there to be dealt with
according to the rigor Of the law, it may be
&C nsdered improbable that he will celebrate
his jubilee as free and independent bandit
next Spring. Let those who will drop tear
over the frustrated aspirations of enc whose
predatory perseverance has been 80 i'll reward
cd by destiny.
