General Gordon's Defeat.

LONDON, March 3l.-Later advices give the
following details concerning General Cor.
don's engagement with the rebels near Hal.
tiyeh on March 10th:
The rebels pursued the Egyptians for two
miles after the battle. The scene Of confu-
sion presented by the retrea.ing troops was
fearful to behold. The Egyptian regulars
and the Bashl- Basouks kept shouting gu,
that their generals had betrayed them. The
wounded received no attention for seven
hours. The troops had been clamoring for
three weeks before to meet the enemy. In
the early part Of the encounter theEgyptians
were successful and the enemy were actually
in full retreat, when their cavalry made a
dashing charge.
Despite the reverse the inhabitants still
remain staunch friends to General Gordon
One Arab has lent General Gordon fl,Ooo,
as his Treasury is empty. Another Arab
has equipped go blacks for GeneralGor
service.
Two black Pashas have been arrested fol
charging into the ranks Of their own troops,
thus allowing the enemy to enter the GAP
they made. General Gordon will keep them
in prison until he obtains full evidence o.
their treachery.
CAIRO, March Silt is reported here tina,
the two black Pashas whose treachery caused
the defeat of G eneral GordOn's troops have
been court martialed and shot.

Euglaud's PauDers.

Last night an old gray headed man.
who gave his name as Martin Lee aud
his age as IS again applied at police
station for lodgings. He is almost bent
double, and said he had been sent here
az pauper from the poorhouse in Gal
way, Ireland, and his passage paid by
the English Government. He is with
out money or friends, very dirty and
covered with yermin.
This morning he was arraigned be-
fore Deputy Judge Sharpley, who seem
ed undecided what action to take in
the case. He at first thought of com
hitting him as vagrant for 10 days
but finally concluded to send him back
to the cells until he could determine
what disposition to make of the case
10 is probable if the attention of the
property authorities were called to the
matter, he would be sent back where hi
came from.

pressed with the well known legend of
The Flying Dntchman," and dreams
what follows in the stage represen-

This is very briefly the plot of the

The lower part of the Opera House was

Towards drama, Young Mrs. Winthrop"
by tho Madison Square Company. The
scenery used is the handsomest ever brought
to this city. Each member of the company
performed their part in anlexcellent manner,
and it seems almost invidious to specify any
single one, still the acting Of Miss Ada Dyas'
as " Mrs. Dick Chetwyn," is deserving OF the
highest commendation.
1t was natural and lifelike, and the effect
was greatly increased by her gorgeous cos
tumes. Mr.. Gillette as Buxton Scott, tht
lawyer, was as usual excellent, and seVera
times no received merlted applause. The
entire performance was delig httul, and 1t Il
hard to comprehend how any one could wit
ness 1t without learning useful lesson.
