all the yurcomars of Merry. they

The following is General KomaroTs
telegram 10 the Emperor, dated AS

official acceptance of allegiance on
the arrival of the Tnrcomm deputies
at the RUSSIAN head quaIters:-
Il h ave tn" pleasure Of most hum
bly, Informing Your Imperial Majesty
that to-day in Askabad the Khans of
four tribes OF NcrV TurcJmans and
"a I'll '>cn delegates, one for every
1000 kIbitkas or tents, accepted I'M
conunionaI allegiance to your Ma
je>ty !; confirming the same by Il So
Tenn oath for themselves and The
whole people Of nerv. According
to the KhnnS and delegates, til TLr-
cnmanS of Merv come to this decision
from the conviction that ihcy cannot
govern themselves, and that only the
strong government OF your Mrjesty
can Introduce and secure order and
prosperity among them, Lleuten-
ani-Geueral Komarotf.
Thus is fully accomplished another
step OF Russian progress in Central
Asia-a step winch, in It's time has
caused as much alarm and discus

that preceded it. 1t is finally Effected

fidelity which helped TO shorten his
life; but he was a man of wide and
varied attainments, and great good
ness of heart. 1t is said that he knew
Hebrew as few scholars even of lie
brew descent have known it, being
able to use it like II modern language
lie was a recognised Arabic scholar;
he talked Romaic with the Greeks OF
the Fanar, knowing, moreover, the
ancient Greek literature we'll ; he
spoke and wrote with ease in Ger
man and French, and his greatest en-
iOyment was to attend some confer
ence OF O,iental scholars and philo-
%loeists. According to his biographer
in the Times, he had also a singular
acquaintance with affairs, gained part
ly by extensive travel, and though
we cannot say that this appeared III
his management Of the Times, he must
have been il man of most unusually
varied powers, and with a hearty
love and reverence for knowledge for
its W sake. That is becoming rarer,
we fear, among us, the restIrSsness OF
the age killing out among strong men
the power Of sitting still TO study and
reflect.
The Lord Chief Justice and Mr..
Justice stephen delivered last >atur-
day the unanimous Judgment of the
Queens Bench Division Of the High
Court of Justice in the action Brad
laugh q Gosset," in which Mr. Brad
laugh brought an action against the
Sergeant-at-Arms for excluding him
from the House by the direction of
the House, contrary to law. The
unanimous judgment Of the Court was
against Nj. BradIaugh, the Judges
holding that The Houses of ParIia-
ment have not only absolute com
mand of their own discipline, bu the
absolute right TO interpret tor them
selves, without appeal, those statutes
which are passed for the regulation of
the procedure and discipline OF the
respective Houses, so far as those
concern the acts to he done within
either House, and not those which
are to he done outside. If any ques-
ton arose as to the enforcement OF a
statutory fine or penalty,-Which
could only be enforced by the order
Of a Court of Justice,-'hen the
Courts of Justice would claim to
interpret tor themselves the acts i'm
posing that fine or penalty, aud would
not be bound by amy resolutions OF
the House Of Parliament, except so
far as the Court held thar those reso-
lutions were taken in perfect con-
formity with the law, and were there
fore legal resolutions. Mr.. Justice
Stephen, whose very able and c|abo-
rate Judgment disc Issed the whole
que~tion, declared that even if the
House of Commons interpreted the
statute wrongly, or, to put a mere
supposition for which he apoIogised,
with the deliberate intention Of doing
injustice, there would yet be no N
dy. 1T resembles the case Of an
error made by a Judge whose deci-
sion is not subject to appeal"

test the seat with Mr.. Richards, a Conser-
vative w~0rking-man, who makes his reli-
glouS convictions the strong point Of his
case. Great doubts appear to be enter
tanned as to the result, and this makes it
the more difficult to understand why Mr..
Bradlaugh challenged the opinion of the
electors so needlesSly and so soon. Pro
badly he thinks that to rust unused will
be paralysis to the combatlveneSs of the
Northampton electors.
OF course, the proceedings Of Mr.. Brad
laugh in the House Of Commons gave rise
to very unSeemly scenes there. On these
occasions the House endeavourS with great
success t, afford us striking a contrast as
possible to Mr.. Justice Stephens ideal of
a judicial Assembly, Interpreting and adj
mlnlStering its own law. \ most indecent
contest with the Speaker took place as to
whether he should or should not direct the
officials of the House not to record Mr.,
Br3dlaugh'S vote, the Speaker having ex-
pIicitly declared that it would exceed his
powers to give such a direction. The
same man@uvre was tried over again in
another form, by an attempt to compel
the speaker to treat MI. Bradlaugh us a
stranger who was to be forced to with
draw before the division, but the Speaker
held firmly that Mr.. BradIaugh was not q
stranger. After understandable confusion,
Sir Stafford Northcote's motion prohibit.
ING Mr.. |Bradlaugh from going through the
words of the oath was carried by $50 votes
against 167, MI. Bradlaugh voting in the
minority and another resolution exclud-
ing Mr.. Bradlaugh from the precincts of
the House, till he should engage no fur
Their to disturb it's proceedings, was carried
by 22S, against 100.

A misfortune of a somewhat unique
kind has befallen the Bishop Of Sgd

his library and all his MSS in the

But the Dean of Westminster has
thoughtfulIy and gracefully proposed
to all who feel how keenly this Gala

to alleviate it so far as possible in the

at least a few Of the most essential Of

The Judgment had not been two days
delivered before Nh. Bradlaugh presented
himself in the House of Commons, went
through the form Of taking the oath, kiss
ed the New Testament, and subscribed a
declaration which is believed to be the
same with that entered in the House of
Commons book, to which he had no access.
He then voted in two Divisions, for which,
if he had not pre- viously taken the StatntO.

is said, to obtain the opinion of a Court Of
Law as to whether he is legally liable to
this fine or not. Afterwards he applied
for and obtained the Stewardship of the
Chiltern Hundreds, which vacates his seat
for northampton, for which d new writ
has been issued. The election will take

Sincat has fallen, Tewfk Pasha
having made a sortie, probably on
the 18th inst, and been cut TO pieces
with his followers by Osman Digna.
The British Government, however,
has resolved to relieve Tokar, AMI by
the last week Of this month a strong
expedition, numbering at least 5000
men of all arms, commanded by Cen
eral Graham, of the Engineers, will
be assembled at >uakim, where it is
said, on the mere rumour of the
British advance, 1.-THE rebels are dis
persing." 1t was at first intended to
include a regiment or two of the
Egyptian Army, but the Horse
Guards have prohibited this, on the
ground Of the special promise 10 the
men when they enlisted that they
should not serve in the SOudan. 1t
is said the officers intend to resign,
but they will probably see that IN
der the circumstances of the enlist.
ment their honour is not attacked,
General Gordon, moreover, has adj
vanced far upon his way. He passed
Berber on the 18th inst, and from
thence ~telegraphed orders to Khar-
toum dlsmissing the Governor, and
appointing Colonel Coetlogon 10 COM
mand. He was obeycd, and every
where as he passes along he removes
Egyptian officials, replacing them by
local men, amidst the enthusiasm of
the people, who are sick of their sub
lection to PaShas. He was never at
tackled in his ride from Assouan to
Berber, nobody resists his orders,
and he appears entirely confident Of
success. In fact, il would seem that
he is carrying gu the popular desire,
and that the Mahdi, even if he wishes
it, will not be able to resist the uni
versal restoration Of local Soudanese
authority, upon which the General,
in preparing his W instructions,
showed himself to be bent.
