The Anclo-Russian Dispute.

The Anglo Russian Dispute.
LONDON, May 5th.-It is rumored on the
London Stock Exchange that Earl Duff
ferin has resigned the office of Ficeroy of
India.
The Glide of to-day says the so-called
adjustment Of the Anglo-Russian dispute
is a poor shift, which amounts practically
to nothing more than q truce for averting
collision, and which will result in nothing
but a transfer of the difficulty from Glad
stones shoulders to those Of his successor
The Standard, in commenting on Glad
stones speech in the House Of Commons
last evening on the Afghan question, says
= No doubt is now entertained that the ar
rangement between England and Russia
includes the surrender Of Penjdeh TO Rus
sia The statement regarding the cession
of Penideh to Russia, published in the
Standard of April 10Th, turns out TO have
been accurate, although the Government
pronounced the report unauthorized.
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
Gladstone. in answer to questions, stated
that Sir Peter Lumsden, British Afghan
Boundary Commissioner, and Colonel Stew
art had been ordered to come home imme-
diately.
Granville, in the House of Lords this
afternoon, stated on behalf OF the Govern
ment that he could conceive nothing better
than referring the dispute over the Penj-
deb incident, involving the honor of two
officers, to the decision of a third party, in
whom each side had perfect confidence. In
this way the whole matter could be closed
honorably for both sides.

Russian forces, while Sir Peter had been
