FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Rumors were current in London on the
10th that the Canadian voyageurs aboard
the transport Poonah, from Alexandria,
had mutinied and that q gunboat with a
force of marines had been sent to quell the
outbreak. Il is certain that orders were
received at Queenstown to send assistance
TO the Poonah, but the facts in the matter
are suppressed. The voyageurs were to
have been transferred to the steamer Han
overian at Queenstown on the 18th, which
was to have conveyed them to America.
A disease known as equine variola is
prevalent among the horses and cows in
the Province of Quebec, Can. The disease
affects horses more injuriously than cows,
but possesses special danger in the latter,
as is shown by prominent physicians, who
state that children who drink milk from
the diseased cows have eruptions closely
resembling smallpox.
Advices from Malaga, Spain, state that
two more shocks Of earthquake there on
the Goth created great CONSERVATION among
the inhabitants. Many Of those who had
returned to the city were preparing to
take their departure again, fearing re-
currence Of the awful scenes witnessed
few weeks ago.
Great apprehension exists in European
circles regarding the possibility Of war be-
tween England and Russia. The encroach-
ments Of the latter power upon Afghanis-
tan are becoming so bold that IL is impos-
sible for the English Government to longer
ignore the situation. II is thought that
much Of the present activity in sending
troops and ammunition eastward is in
spired by the attitude Of Russia and not by
the situation in the Soudan. The Afghans
are showing signs Of disaffection toward
England, despite their promises ofneutral-
ity in return for protection from Russian
aggression. The Pail Mall Gazette de-
clares that the situation is 30 strained that
an outbreak between a few Afghans and
Russians near the frontier would be sufii-
cient to start bloody fight between the
great powers with all India the prize for
the winner.
A dispatch from General Wolseley states

they finally retreated in the direction Of
Metemneh. The precise Workmanship Of
the Arabs was very noticeable. The British
loss was three killed and twenty-one
