PETERS IN UGANDA. the Daily News correspondent at Berlin writes that the chairman of the Gorman East Africa Company has received a letter from Dr. Peters, dated Itithaga, in Uganda, March Bth. Dr. Peters' march through 'Uganda has been rendered of no effect by the Anglo-German Agreement, but is nevertheless interesting. " I have concluded," says the traveller, "with King Mwanga a treaty of frendship and commerce which snatches Uganda and the districts of Usoga and Regalia from the English. lii Kavirondo there is an important English eepedition which has offered to place Uganda under English protection, but does not dare to enter this dangerous territory, although in possession of 500 Reiningtons, with 50 loads of cartridges. I consider my march to Ernie Pasha to have been virtually completed, for a little to the north of Kioga Emin Pasha formerly occupied the stations of Keki and Fauvers, which I nearly touched. I had already sent letters on before me to Unyoro when I heard that Emin was gone. As I was not in a position to meet the Mandists, I marched off to the south-west. I was the first white man to cross Usogo, and I encamped one night at the spot where Bishop Hannington and hie party were murdered, and we found there several skulls and bones. Near the • Ripon Falls I crossed the Nile and entered Uganda. Here I sometimes walked as if on hot coals, for you must know that the Malidists are on the Meta Nzige. Here I am niaster of the situation. My small but well-disciplined expedition is everything to be desired. This is the goal of the German Ernie Pasha Expedition. It is not granted Tie to achieve great things. My Askaris have only 35 cartridges each, and with these I cannot wage war. I need not assure you that otherwise I should march upon Wadelai. I shall probably cross the Nyanza in boats at the end of this month, and in that case shall be at Zanzibar at the beginning of July." A letter has also been received from Lieutenant von Tiedeinan. He describes encounters with hostile tribes, - and says that Uganda is completely laid waste. Everywhere are traces of murder, conflagration, and every kind of horror. Skeletons and corpses are found in elt di reetionA destructive fire broke out on Wednesday in the extensive premises of Forster, Green,and Co.,wholesale brokers and tea merchants, Belfast. About 5 o'clock the watchman on duty uoticed flames issuing from the upper windows of the building, which is one of the finest in Ireland, and gave an alarm; but on the arrival of the fire brigade it was evident that the fire had got a firm hold of the premises. Four hours later they were completely gutted. The damage is estimated at over £50.000.  We regret to announce the death of the Earl of Carnarvon, which took place at 5.30 o'clock ! on Saturday evening at the family residence in , Portman-square, London. The late earl had been suffering acutely for some weeks from ' nenralgic gout, but it was only within the lest few days that his illness took a serious turn. har his family were present. The Queen and the Prince of Wales were at once apprised of the saa. event,  -" There's a very kind letter from Robert, dear, said Dr. Dynevor, as he handed an envelope. over to his wife, one bright morning in the leginnmg of June. "What's the news?" said Dorothy, their youngest daughter, a girl of about seventeen summers. "You may read it aloud, Mamma," said the Doctor, and forthwith Mrs. Dynevor unfolded, and began to read the following letter The Manse, Wi!mington, Jure 4, 18— Dear Lewis,—Knowing you thought uf net low ing towr. this summer, I write to let you know of a auggunCon which Jeanie has made to me. We intend visiting in the highlands during July, and as I have arranged for the supply of my pulpit during the three ktundays I shall he away, we shall be very glad if yotroare to come and occupy the Manse while we are absent. The only duties which will devolve on you will be to entertain the ministers who come down every week from Saturday till Monday. As you hove such lively young people, I am sure you will sot find this a very arduous task, and it will be some amusement for you, as I am afraid you might find our little village rather dull. With our united love. I remain, Your affectionate brother,
