Sultan of Darfur sent with him, and
mentioned to rebuild the throne of
that State as an independent ally of
Khedive, is an habitual drunkard,
and totally incompetent for the work
he has been released to do. The
Pashas have accordingly discovered
that they make q mistake, ard say
they have sent a lad Of eighteen, in
stead Of their true heir, who is thirty
two. Pashas do not make mistakes
of that kind, and If this story is cor
rect, we should not doubt that the
authorities in Cairo intend General
Gordon to fail. They hate him for
stopping their tribes from the slave
dealers, and they receive him with q
cordially which of itself suggests The
despatch of secret and hostile orders
to khartoum. They would rather
Khartoum were lost for a time, than
that the slave-trade should be brought
to a final end. II is more than doubt
full, from the long accounts sent,
whether the Egyptian officials on the
coast are supporting General Baker
with any cordiality.

Two inspectors Of police have re-
Gently been murdered in succession
in Vienna. A man who refuses his
name, but says he is the agent Of a
society established Ito put down all
blood-suckers of that kind" was seen
to commit the second murder, and
arrested at once, aud nothing can be
discovered about him. Since his
arrest the police have been incessant-
Iv threatened, and the Government
on January 30th decreod the minor
state of siege, Under TITS decree,
printing, public meeting, and public
speaking may be stopped, domicilia-
~ visits may be paid, and letters
may be opened. Moreover, by a
second decree, the Ministry alleging
that they have reason to distruSt
verdicts when the accusation is one
of a crime directed against society,
suspend trial by jury for Press often
ces, act Of violence, libel, charges Of
~vivifying the authorities, and insIiga-
tons TO resist the law. These seem
severe measures against the good-hu-
incurred Vienese, but :he working
quarters have been SETTLING for some
time, the riots, though little noticed
in England, have been very numer-
Gus. Socialism is spreading, and the
practice of assassination now com
menced may spread fast. The Co
vernment must have been seriously
alarmed, before it would risk q quar-,
rel with Vienna.

From the Spectator Of 5 Jan.l

King Alfonso has takea Tie bull by the
horns. Convinced, as he alleges, that the
Liberal party in Spain is too divided for
united action, and that part OF it, at least,
is not honestly mOnarchical, he has pass
ed over s., SagaSta, the leader OF the eX-
listing majority in the COrtes, has pr0rogued
the representative body for three months,
and has appointed the Conservative lead
er, Canovas del Castillo, Premier, with the
right Of dissolution. S.. CanOyas has noml-
mated a Reactionary Cabinet, has made
Marshal Quesada, a personal devotee OF
the King, Minister of War, and has admit
ted the leading U~ltramontane, Piddl y
Mon, Minister of Commerce and Educa-
ton. He promises not to break with
Liberalism, but it is understood that he
will, if necessary, employ force sharply
and at once. SO far he has been obey ed.
His new Governors Of Provinces have
started for their commands, and the Liber-
ais profess to be mainly anxious about the
legality Of the elections, They are, how
ever, furious, and the chances OF a descent
into the streets to the cry OF universal
suffrage ~ depend upon the secret temper
of the Army, which is not accurately
known. 1t will take some days to commu-
nicate with S. Gorilla, who is supposed to
be in Portugal, and who has thet threads
of the insurrectionary organisation IN his
hands. Meanwhile, the certainty that the
King will fight, that part of the Army, II
not the whole, will adhere to him, ana that
the Ministry will execute mutineers, in
stead of banishing them to Minorca, will
have a great effect in inspiring caution, II
not fear.

A discussion upon the distress in
Paris has been going on in The cham

being a proposal to advance { 100000

There is no news of Importance
from Egypt, except that General
Baker has gone to Trinkitat with
5000 Nubians, who are dIsaffected,
and Egyptians, who will run away,
to cut his way to Tokar. He is
quite right, for delay in position is
destruction but the chances in
favour of the humiliation of his force
in the hills where Captain Moncrieff
was killed are as three to one. He
may, however, have bought over a
tribe, and 1t is reported that the ankle
ty Of the Sheikhs to avoid fighting
each other, and SO raising a new crop
of blood-feuds just when they want to
be united, is very great, General
Gordon has seen the Khedive, has
been appointed by him Governor
General of the Soudan, and has by
the latest kilograms passed AssOuan.
His progress will not be facilitated
by an indiscretion for which Reuters
Agency deserves severe blame. They
have, very accurate intelligence from
Cairo, the best very often which
reaches us; but their managers ought
to have had the sense to suppress
the statement about the money with
General Gordon. OF course he has
money with him, if only to pay
troops, but to announce that fact,
with details, is to invite every SheIkh
on his route and every s%coundrel-
ly European-and Egypt literally
swarms W th white villains, to whom
Carey was a gentleman-to murder
him for his cash. Fortunately, the
General is a Puritan, and not a hu-
manitarian, and the certainty that an
assassin, if he falls, will have within
five minutes to explain himself in the
next world, will have a highly CON
sentative effect. That kind of villain,
whether christian" or Mussulman,
is never sure that his explanations
will be satisfactory.

The City has been startled this
week by a very heavy failure. Mr..
w. E, Blakeway, head of the stock
broking firm of w. P. Thomas, Sons,
and Co., said to be one Of the oldest
in London, absconded, and it was
discovered that he owed nearly
$500, 900. nearly the whole of which
will be lost. Of this sum, only
G35,000 is due to members Of the
Stock Exchange, the runaway having
h~abitualIy used securities belonging
to his clients to pay his differences"
which at the last account amounted
to 9200,O 900. One lady, the widow
of a former partner, loses 100000
and a country bank also suffers
heavily. Mr.. Blakeway, in fact, &C
cording TO the statements in the City
articles, robbed those who trusted
him rather than rob the corporation
TO which he belonged. We hope the
occurrence will warn investors
against their Strange rick of leaving
masses Of stock payable to bearer in
the hands Of brokers, who Do not
want h. liability, who have no srecial
means Of protecting securities, and

The Washington monument was
completed on the 9th inst, by
setting in place the marble cap-stone
and its pyramidal apex of aluminium.
Shortly before 2 o'clock Col. Casey,
the government engineer in charge,
and his assistants proceeded to set
the cap-stone, weighing $500 pounds,
which was suspended from quadro-
pod of heavy joists supported by the
platform and towering 40 feet above
them. AS soon as the cap-stone was
set the American flag was unfurled
overhead and a salute of 81 guns
was fired in the White House grounds
The sound of cheers also came up
family from the crowd of spectators
gathered around the base Of the mon
ument, while a number of invited
guests on the 500 foot platform and
in the interior of the monument at
that level spontaneously struk up the
"Star Spangled Banner, "and other
patriotic songs. The flag over the
monument fioated from flag staff
the top of which is exactly 600 feet
from the ground, thus displaying the
American colors at the greatest height
of construction ever yet known in the
world. The monument itself, witt
its total height of $50 feet, far over
tops every other structure of human
hands.

The Senate Pension bill now be-
fore the House, and which the Re-
publican members have agreed to
support, is q measure which will re-
lieve large number of men and wo-
men. 1t increases the pensions of
widows and mothers, pensions all
Mexican soldiers who are in needy
circumstances, and assumes that ev-
erv man who was accepted as sol
dier was sound man at that time,
and that if he incurred disability while
in the service he is entitled to a pen
sion. Thousands of ex-soldiers who
are poor and needy and broken in
health cannot furnish the evidence
that they were sound and able bodied
men when they incurred their disabili.
ty. They could not do this five years
after the war in thousands of cases,
because they could not find the Off
GERS whose testimony has been held
essential 10 establish II claim. Tween
ty years away from the war, the Off
GERS if found could not recall the APP
plicants without such memoranda as
few kept. The present pension OF
widow and mothers-S8 per month
is entirely insufficient TO give then
the most ordinary comforts. Many
of them are unable to labor, and il
thousands of cases would suffer pri
walton but for the kindness of thos,
who have as heavy burdens as the,
can bear. A few classes of pension,
are increased, as we believed judi
ciously. If those who doubt it will
take the pains to go to any pension

evidence to show that there were
communities in some of the towns
that by public meetings had declared
for Barton which favored the Land

were shown indicating that the larger
portion of that business originated in
those localities which would be bet

were presented and the merits of this
point in the triangular contest well
set forth. On Saturday forenoon the
