FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, Sept. N.-In Egypt Cor
don continues to bewilder everybody. Wolse
ley's expedition is gradually dwiRdling, until
audacious speculators declare that he will ar.
rive in Khartoum at the head of cavalry es.
cort. Then it is further prophesied that Cor.
don will stick to his craze of smashing the
Mahdi.
Bismarck is ostentatiously siding with Ferry.
The circle Of protest against the suspension Of
the law of liquidation is complete and staid,
and semi-officialG journalists rail against
the violence of English action and the pretense
OF the pious Gladstone, as they sarcastically
style the Premier, as loudly as the most ire
spousible of the journalists of the Paris boule
wards. Even the most faithful Gladstonian
organs hardly attempt to deav that the Beers
have aagrantly broken their treaties, insulted
the British flag, killed English officers, en-
slaved English allies, and the Pal 4Kau Ga
zette welcomes to its columns the letters OF q
Cape colonist, who describes the word of Eng
land to her African allies as having proved q
fraud and lie.
ing-fund of Egypt continues to be the para
mount sensation in the political world. Eng
land is standing alone against the Continental
Powers and the clamors Of her own bondhold-
ers. The Liberal papers are urging Gladstone
to remain firm, but the Tories profess to have
discovered signs that the Government Is
weakening, and are preparing to howl in de-
riston.
EMPEROR WILLIAM.
The German Emperor was so exhausted as
scarcely to be able to move out Of his saloon
carriage in Skierniwice, and he was compelled
the third day from carriage instead of on
horseback. A special carriage for all such oc-
casions in the future is being manufactured in
Berlin, with glass top, which will enable him
to see everything without distress. The chief
reason Of his constant appearance in public is
his morbid Jealousy OF his son, to whom he
grudges the smallest share in imperial honors.
THE CzAR.
The Russian Gar displays great partiality
for sporting in Poland. He has ordered the
construction of shooting-box there, and has
hunted up q Polish priest, an old companion in
sports, and has killed one stag and nineteen
bosrs. His chief confdant and counselor now
Is bis brother, the Grand Duke Vladimir.
IRISH AFFAIRS.
LONDON, Sept 27.-The authorities at Scot
land Yards recently ooh-poohed the story of
who said that the Irish Invincibles are prepar-
ing further mischief in London; but they are
now taking extraor tinary precautions and evi-
IDENTIFY think that the dynamiters now mean
business. Suspicious looking Irshmen are con-
stantly Swallowed by de.es.:ves, end several
very reputable irishmen called to-day at Scot
land Yards to complain that they were being
dogged by spies. The Inspector on duty
blandly dfsclaimed all knowledge Of such sur
veillance, but the vigilance Of the detectives
has not been relaxed.
THE MACKAr-BENNETT CABLE.
The preparations for the expected war Of
rates between the rival Atlantic cable compa-
niles are nearly completed, and II profusfon

their offices mean anything the Mackay Ben
nett people certainly intend to inaugurate a
big boom In cable circles in London.
