THE REPORTED MURDER OP MUICHTAR PASHA. —The report that Mukhtar Pasha, like Mehemet Ali and Haidar Pasha, had fallen a victim to the wild fury of the Albanians, and that a brilliant career had been prematurely closed by the hand of assassins, is Officially oontradicted. The contradiction will be gladly received throughout Europe, for Mukhtar Pasha is one of the few Turkish offieers who during the recent war proved himself worthy of the confidence placed in him. A few days ago he was sent to Albania to enforce the surrender of Gusinje and Playa to Montenegro, in accordance with the terms of the Berlin Treaty. The Montenegrins had threatened to take these places by force if they were rot surrendered by the 27th, and Mukhtar Pasha was entrusted with the necessary civil and military powers to give effect to the treaty. The report that he had shared the same fate as those who preceded him met with ready Credence because of its probability.  The Russian Golos has been snspewied for five months.

Mr Boord, M.P .'speaking at Greenwich on Monday, said Mr Gladstone's remarks on the disestahlishmeut of the Irish Church would imply that it only wanted an attempt to blow up the ft- idewell at Edinburgh, or the murder of a policeman at Glasgow, to induce him to take the Smyth Church le hand.
