GUARDIAN.  The Clerk regretted to say that Mr. W. T. Bevan, of rontardulais. who was for many years an active member of this board, was now not qualified to act as a guardian, he being onlyrated at LS. Inquiries had :been made and it Wile found :that an ex-parte statement to this effect We* substintially eorreet. The Chairman, Alderman Daniel, and Mr. P.. Rogers expr. seed regrt t at the loss of Mr. Bevan's helpful abilities. . . . .  It was resolved that the matter be intimate& to Mr. Bevan, and that he be milted to give if possible any eaplanatip._  r r On the motion or Mr: Bath it was decided to. give one week's out-door relief to a poor womaa whose husband met with an accident in connection with a watch. The accident cost the poor fellow a term of imprisonment at the last amizes. This was all the important business.  The House of Lords will, it is believed, strike out the clauses which have been inserted in the English Registration Bills providing that the receipt of medical relief shall not disfranchise a voter.  The Stade:l.d of Thursday says The great danger is that military necessities will have to be subordinated to the needs of the Indian exchequer, and if we are to keep India we roast prepare vigorously for its defence." A Times telegram from Meshed announcer Sir Peter Lum-,clen is departure from Tirpul, and adds that the members of the mission are all well. No further Russian movements are reported. - -  • Tbe T.otes reports that the intention of Use En glish to abandon the Khartoum oxpention is considered at Cairo as being the first step towards the total evacuation of Egypt. Such a step would inevitably bring on anarchy and disorder, which no native government is strong enough to prevent. The correspondent of the Stemdarel, telegraphing from Bombay on Tuesday, says As some curiosity has been expressed respecting the causes of the resignation of Afzul Khan, our late representative at Cabal, it may be as well to state that he refused to return to the Ameer's capital on account of the murder of one of his relatives there shortly before Abdurraham set out to meet the Viceroy."  A Central News telegram from Amsterdam on Wednesday says :—Advices from Paris state that M. de Freycinet has informed the Commission on Egyptian Finance that the sub-committee dealing with the Suez Canal lhas nearly finishe& its work. The only difficulty which he apprehends is the organization of the controlling power, which the Commission want to entrust to the Consuls-General, but England objects.' The Daily Telegraph of Thursday publishes ta long telegram from its correspondent with the Boundary Commission, dated Tirpul, May 9th, stating that the proposed boundary will give Russia every opportunity in her design of making the Rindukush her frontier. On the other hand Afghanistan will be left open to attacks at many points. The correspondent says that popular feeling throughout the realm of the Ameer expects England to avenge the Afghan defeat, or indemnify the Ameer. 1 Thursday's Standard says :—" Seeing that the ,1 month of November will witness a general elect' tion, we think the Oppo4tion wise to abandon the idea, if any such be cherished, of moving any more votes of censure, or votes of want or confidence. It is abundantly plain that the present House of Commons will not condemn the Prime Minister and his colleagues, be their faults and their follies what they may. But to say that mere votas of cebsure are useless, is not tocouderon the Opnositim to inaction: they have a heavy task heft .re them, and it lies among the constituencies!' Lord Randolph Churchill writes to the Times of to-day (Thursday) in answer to Lord Grailvilla's remarks. lie says he never desired, and does not desire, to be a member of the Upper m House; but when he read Lord Granvide s speech he had a momentary wish to be a peer \ for a quarter of an hour, in order to give Lord Granville one mild reply. He complains that Lard Granville gave him no notice, and, aft r alluding to the Foreign Secretary as " that unhappy man," Lord Randolph proceeds to dispute lord Granville's statement, and tbank• the editor of the Times for space to expose thill official mendacity. ___—.
