The Prince of Wales i.= about to visit Sir Frederick Johnston afc Dumfrios nnd Lord Lonsdale ab Lowther Castle. Both tho latter are noted sportsmen, fond of shooting by day and baccarat by night. In viaw of this facb, the watchful suspicions of the religious classes of tho country are keenly fixed on the Prince. Lord Esmae Stewarb Gordon, brother of the Marquis of Huntley and heir fco the marquisate, was declared a bankrupt in London, September 11th. He has unsecured debts to the amount of £81,000, and his assets are placed at about £B,OCX". The Queen's health is reported not good, and the physicians regulate her diet more Bfcricfciy than ever. Visitors find n notable increase in the Queen's aspect as respects age. The marriage of Mr Tenne'nt, brother of Mrs Henry M. Stanley, to Miss Lizzie Tilton, an American belle, is fixed for December. Baron Hirsch, fche Jewish philanthropist;, signed a deed, September 7fch, empowering his representatives fco expond £-~000,000 for the purchase of land and the location of colonies in the Argentine Republic. The announcement; fchab the Prince of Wales will revisit Tranby Croft bhis autumn has provoked loud outcries from the religious press. The "Methodist Times" of bhe 4fcb September asks if the Prince has not a single friend in touch with the British people, and warns him thab hi 3 conduct excifce3 deep emotion among the middle antl working classes, on whom the stability of tho throne rests. In a communication made public, Sept. Sth, Mr Gladstone writes in favour of an increased representation of labour in Parliament, bub deprecabes the formabion of a labour party. " If every clas3 in fcho community," he saya, " exercised bhe right to form a party, wo should havo a queer Parliament." Favourable forecasbs are made of tho sugar beeb crop, especially iv Germany, Hungary and Moravia. Austria's yield will be in excess of thab of 1890, and bhere will be a great increase in tbe yield of France. Further particulars were received, September 13th, of bho defeab of tho Germans jn Ea3b Africa by the natives. Captain Zelewski and Officers Zibwich and Pierch, Dr. Brunsch, and four non-commissioned tofficers are missing. Only bwo officers, Tetpenhorn and Bievredeck, and two noncommissioned officers are known to have escaped. Three hundred black 3, under tlerman command, were killed, and a largo quantity of guns and munitions of war •were losb to the enemy. The victorious toafcive3 followed up their success without mercy, killing all they got in bheir power. Reliable authority states that, owing to the personal unpopularity of the Shah, a revolution is brewing in Persia. Priests and students are leading it, and tha prevailing discontent is being indusbriously lanned by a paper called " The Kahu," or "Law," printed in Europe, and widely disseminated throughout every parb of the Shah's dominions. IMPENDING WAR. Since Turkey, out-generalled in a diplomatic way by Russia, has granted that JPower the right to navigate bheDardenelles, ■the American papers have been filled wifch all sorts of war rumours. Ingenious stories pave been invented and published broadcast with a view to affect bho grain and fetock markebs of the world, and paralyse jthe bourses of Europe. Tho most daring canard was a despatch from Constantinople on September 14th, to tho effect thab a detachmenb of English blue-jackebs and Snarines, wibh a babbery of light field pieces and several Gatling guns, had landed bhe preceding morning at Ligri, on fch_ island of Mitylene, and formally occupied fchafc place in fcho name of fche Queen of England, and had proceeded to fortify ifc in bho mosb expeditious manner. Thi_ story had no other foundation than that a parfcy of Brifi?h naval officers had a picnic on land one clay to relievo fche monotony of sea life MOVEMENT OF TROOPS. At Vitry-le-Francois, September 17th, President Carnob and his Cabinet reviewed the French army, consisting of 110,000 men, who have been taking parb in the extensive manceuvres since September 3rd. Great enthusiasm. Owdng to illness, De Freycinet vva3 unable fco bo •present. despatch from Warsaw, September (17th, confirms reports of the massing of Kussian trcops in tbe western districts in connection with the coming military "■naiiGeuvres. A ukase, jusb issued, directs the erection of barracks for bhe Frontier Guards, ab the disfcance of a quarber of a telle from fcho western frontier. cixfcy thousand men were engaged in a than, battle at Mulhauren, September 17th. 'i-he nth army corps encountered the 4th army corps, and a battle of several hours' duration was fought in tho presence of the ilmperor, who "galloped from point to pcinfc during the engagement. A FAST MAIL' SERVICE. The steamship City of New York arrived >"&" Queonstowu at 2 o'clock p.m., Septem'._2r Bth. She was 5 days 22 hours and 50

The tennis match for tho ehnnmionship in doubl-.-i between liobarb and Hall, and I'ampbcll a. -I Huntington, was played at Newport, ILL, Aligns 1: 27th. The latter double won. Tlio Gandaner - Hanl.-m rowing match, arranged to tako placo ab Toronto, September 10th, for ""il ,00J a-side, did nob come off. The glove conte=b between Jack McAuiiffc and Austin Gibbons, for a purse of ■--4,000, with an outside wager of' §2,_00, took place ab the Granite Athletic Club, Hoboken, N. S"., September llfcli. It was II topped by the police in the sixth round, and Referee Jeremiah Dunn awarded tho fight io MoAulillb, amid much excitement. A great crowd was present. Gibbons was angry fib tho decision. He shouted out, "This decision is given against me because I have a little blood on my face. It's an outrage. I am not defeated. I could go on lighting this way for two hours, and I'm ready to do ifc." Tha general opinion among thoughtful men i_ that the decision was unfair to Gibbons, on tho ground fchafc the arficl-s of agreement called for a finish fight, and there was no iinish. As far as it had proceeded, the fight waa a savage ono. Both men were freah when it was stopped, ; although Gibbons was bleeding freely from a cut on his cheek. THE PUNISHMENT OF FOOLHARDINESS. Tho British steamship Ellniz arrived ab Antwerp, August 27tb, from Baltimore, ild. On board waa Captain Andrews of the Dory Mermaid, which sailed from Boston some time ago in a trans-Atlantic race with the Dory Sea Serpent. The hitter arrived at a port in the English Channel, August sth. Andrews said in an interview that he had good weather till he , was 35 days out from Boston, bhen a terrible storm came up. On Augusb Ist a hugs wave filled the Mermaid with seven inches of water. The next day bhe boab was capsized and Andrews thought he was losb. He was in bhe cabin, bub managed ' bo open the hatch, climb upon bhe keel, and right bhe boat. Ho prayed bo God for the sake of his family to givo him another chance and he would quit this business. He then closed himself in the cabin again, and passed two days and nights in tho same way. The wind all this time continued blowing with such force thab when he opened tho hatch the little air he respired caused a sound like a big- whistle. The lamp oil was exhausted, and being boo fatigued to keep watch he lay on the bottom of the boab four days, until picked up by the Ellniz. Andrews declares he will never attempt the voyage again. THE PRINCE RUDOLPH TRAGEDYIn the New York " World " of Augusb 31.b, is a letter signed by "CD.," who is described as a former member of the Austrian Court, in which a startling theory is advanced concerning the death of the Crown Prince Rudolph, of Austria, and Baroness Marie de Vefczera. Tbe writer says that for eighteen months the mother of the unfortunate Marie has been seeking by every means in her power to secure the publication of a suppressed pamphlet in Paris, in Berlin, in Milan, in facb in every large ciby of the continent, but has been checked ab every point.' Thero is every reason bo suppose, says ths writer, thab the relations between bhe bwo lovers constituted not only an infraction of tho seventh commandment, but, moreover, a crime of which the Baroness' mother alone was cognisant, and of a character of which both her daughberand bho Archduke were entirely ignorant. The question as to whether there was a strong resemblance between Marie and the Emperor, was a current and favourite topic of conversation in the saloon 3 of Madame Yetzera and of her most intimate friends. CATHOLIC PILGRIMAGES. The first party of American pilgrims, numbering sixty persons, under Missionary Braun, of Minneapolis, United States, arrived ab Treves on September 17th. The newspapers are beginning to publish cures wrought by tho Holy Coat —the restoring of sight to the blind and tho curing of cripples. An abbeas has had her withered arm restored. Each case is reported sustained by medical testimony, but the details will nofc be published till the exhibition of the relic is finished. The various German Catholic Socialistic pilgrimages to Roma will be escorted and presented to the Pope by three of the most eminenb personages in _li 6 Cabholic Socialist party, Mon?. Langonieux, Count Alberb Demun (Deputy), and M. Harmel, a working-man, and organiser of the pilgrimages. THE LABOUR CONGRESS. The proceedings of bhis Congress, held in Newcastle, England, up to Sepbember 12th, disclosed that among the new Trade Unions and the newer members of the old organisations there is a predominance of feeling that shows thoy are deeply imbued with Socialistic and kindred doctrines. After a lengthy discussion, an amendment to the eight-hour resolution was adopted, declaring that fche law shall bo enforced in all trades and occupations, except when the majority of the organised members in any trade protests by a ballot vote against the proposal, The ago at which children

should be allowed to work in factories was ] discussed on fche iOfch. The limit was ; raised to 13 years. The discu-i-ion ot the question of paying members of Parliament , was postponed til! after the next sc-.sion of Parliament, as this and kindred -übjc-cfcs ; would there come u;i for debate. Ab t.ie morning session, Sct.'temh_i- 11th, tlio dole- , pates approved a morion to the eticet that : actual workmen and workwomen _ should bo appointed inspectors or factories and working placo* generally. A motion to instruct- the Parliamentary Commiu.oo to press tho passage of an ui_:hu-hour law, at least so far as ie concerned workmen employed in the mines, was carriod. The Congress closed September 12th. and 40,000 trade unionist- marched in procession through tho stivofeg of Newcastle to celebrate its successful terminatio!). It. was decided to hold the next Congress in Glasgow. THE McKINLEY" LAW. The " London Chronicle " (September 10) . refers to investigations Unit have been made by fcho New York Associated Press to ascertain tho oll'ccfc of tho McKinley law , in Europe, and says : '" Thanks to tho cor- . respondent, of that organisation, wo aro , now in a position to estimate tho ellect of the law on our trade." Tho "St. James Gazetto " says the correspondent ha« done ; his work very thoroughly, and that fcho conclusions he has arriveil at are noD albogufcher . unsatisfactory to i.ngland. Tliere is somo satisfaction, the "Gazette" adds, to , learn that German industries aro injured , more than bhe English. Even tinder n, rigorous protective tariff, wo'-kman-Jiip and , qualiby will toll at times. The " Times " comments at length on tho .übjeefc. ifc 1 says the McKinley law injured and dislo- ] catod some European industries to an e\- ( tent entirely uncompensated by any corresponding a< Ivan i.a go to tlio Anicr'.eau , consumer. The Americans are (no sceptical of the stability of the -le.'iniey law fco j embark in new enterprises. The tinplute 1 ca.so puts the matter in a nutshell. STARVING PEASANTRY. i Berlin advices, August/ 2'lth, say Russian newspaper, entirely confirm tiie recent re- ! ports of the terrible di-ircss ;imoii'_, tho ' peasants in the Volga Ya'by. Tho penp',o. are in a condition of tho utm._-.fc desi.il utioo, ; without clothes or food. Swarm* of families havo been reported as bo_\-'..'-;;.. by the road- : sides. "Tho Kirwk.i'V'" published in ■- Kiel!, considers the condition of th. j ■ peasant, a., being desperate, already im- ; mersed in poverty and indebted to the < State, while the taxes which they aro nnab!o to pay, accumulate, and l.y next spring the entire Russian peasantry will I 1 probably be bankrupt. Re porta from ' Warsaw .show that the peasants of Central , Russia aro emigrating by wholesale ; 500 men havo already abandoned their families and gono abroad. The " Vos.sischo 1 Zeitung" says Russia is undergoing a 1 periodical famine fco which sho is subject, 1 and which becomes more sorions with each '. recurrence owing to her primitive husbandry, and the indebtedness, of her peasants. Riofcii took place afc Yitebsh, August, 23th, growing out of the exportation of rye. BANKRUPT NOBLES. During tho month of October, 1091, no fewer than 874 estates belonging fco different members of the nobility, will be .sold afc auction in Odessa, afc the instance of tho State Bank, which holds mortgages against them. These estates are situated in thirtynine governments of "Russia in Europe. Nothing can hotter indicate the desperate straits "into which the landed nobility of Busaia is rapidly drifting, in spito of fche Banquo de la Noblesse established and fostered by tho present Ministerial regime, than those foreclosure sales, which will assuredly not nearly cover the enormous advance made by the State Bank, because • not only the Hebrews, but all foreigners, or foreign syndicates, are unable to acquire , landed property in Russia. r CROPS IN THE NORTH OF ! EUROPE. i Despatches received at London, Sep- • fcember 14th, say ifc is authoritatively stated ' in the North of Europe that the harvest I prospects are deplorable, that bread has ', already gone up 80 per cenb., and bhat famine prices are feared for the winter. In j Central Sweden some of the lower valleyo ' have been under water for weeks. In Don- s mark the condition of things is no better; ( and in both countries the wheat crop is re- ' porbed bo be enbirely desbroyed. Unfortu- ( nately, fche damage is nob confined bo ! wheab, which is the leasb important of ' Scandinavian cereals. Tha agricultural ' losses in Denmark are estimated ab §15,000,000 ; and as one-half bho cultivated i area in Sweden is under water, the loss \ there, though no estimate has been made of ' it, can hardly be less. Hitherto these counfcriea have maintained in good years ■ something like a balance bebween their ex- * ports and imports of breadstuff's, sending ' away oats and barley, and receiving wheab and rye. Their contributions to tho 1 European market musb apparenbly fail en- - tirely bhis year, and by bhe general scarcity they themselves musb suffer under bhe . failure of the Russian rye crop. IN SEAP.CH OF GORDON. J. J. Coyle and P. C. Johnson sailed from , New York, Augusb 29th, on board the , steamship Servia, en route to tho River Nile, on whab may be termed a wild - goose , chase. Coyle ia familiar with porbions of ; Egypt, having served bhere several years in fche British army. Ho says : "When I was in Cairo, I had interviews wifch three French nuns and four priests, who expressed a belief that General Gordon is still alive. Upon their statements, which were consistently linked together and obtained from sources which, for prudential reasons, I am not at liberty to reveal, I believe that General Gordon is not dead, but held as a captive. Tho object of this journey is to ascertain whether he is dead or alive. I will disguise myself as a native and enter Khartoum, or else lose my head in the attempt." MARINE CASUALTIES. During a terrific storm in the English Chantiel, Augusb 21sb, a barque was wrecked ab Yporb, and four of her crew drowned. Steamship Lochlomond, from Montreal, arrived ab Dundee on the 23rd ofAugust, experienced the same gale. Men having charge of the cattle on board were unable to approach them for two days. Seventy-seven head were lost, and scarcely one escaped injury. There was a sickening scene as the vessel was discharging her cargo, a number of butchers being busily engaged for several hours killing cattle both aboard tbe steamer and on the quay. British steamship De Lomyer, carrying powder, was complebely shabtered by an explosion, Augusb 23rd. She beached ab Vigo, a seaporb in Spain (Galicia), where she burned. The crew were saved. Barque Pisagua arrived ab Vicboria, Bribish Columbia. Augusb 23rd, from Chilian ports to load lumber afc Moodyville. Captain reporbed bhe crew mutinous, and some of them had to be put in irons. Crew deny mubiny, bub say bhey protested against being fed on rotten meat and stale bread. A reporb reached the Treasury Department at Washingbon, Augusb 25th, bhab fche crews of bwo small American steam whalers wintering near the mouth of the Mackenzie i River, about 500 miles easb of Poinb Barrow, had been massacred by bhe nabives of that region. The steamers are the property of fche Pacific Whaling Company, and each carried sixty men as a crew. Despatch from Southporb, Lancashire Counby, on the Irish Sea, August 26th. reports wreck of Norwegian barque Getion ; crew saved. The Norwegian collier Trig was burned to the water's edge, August 26th, and eighb of her crew were drowned. AccordI ing to a despatch from London.

| Capt. Barker, of fcho Netherlands liner Ob- ; dam, arrived afc Ne.v York Aug. 20, reported '■ a mutiny among tho liremen and stokers during the voyage from Rotterdam. Thoy wi..hs;d to take possession of tho steamship, in the course of the trouble that ensued, Barker shot and killed one of the alleged mutineers named Peter Dazen, whose body was thrown overboard, and the resb of the men i-_'_ur._ed to work. Statements have been made besides thab of fche captain's about this affair, which put ifc in a different light, and an investigation is in order. Steamship Zambesi arrived ab Victoria, ij.C'., Auiru-u _srd from Asiatic porta, towing the America'- =ehoon_r Andy Dafcard, with which she had collided ia the Straits of Georgia during a dense log. The schooner .vas badly smashed, but no livos were lost. Sho is owned in San Francisco, and was bound from Port Gamble on the Hound to San Buenaventura, in Southern California, with a cargo of lumber. American steamship El Dorado, aground oil' Pittiini, one of tho Bahama Islands, was boarded on August 17th by 1,500 black English wreckers armed wifch knives. Thoy demanded tho cargo, and to prevent bloodshed, C.'pf„"in Byrne, of the disabled steamer, leb them havo it. These Nassau, N. P., wrecker.') are reported more than pirates. Ono of them attempted to have down Ihe American Hag, and replace ib wibh the English ensign. Tho El Dorado finally floated, and held on her course. Steamship Franklin was wrecked, Aug. 2,"ith, oil' tho shoro of St. Andrew's Island, Central American coast. Eight, of fche crew of the British steamship Dunmurry, of Belfast;, from Now York, for Antwerp, with grain, lost their lives on Saturday, August 29th, by the ennshdii-_ of I ho vessel in a hurricane. Ciptiiin iVic.Mtirroii, commander, with nino•ecn other survivors, wero picked up by tho Gorman oil-tank stearmhip Hans l-'urs"-, Irom Now York for Rotterdam, and landed, at Halifax, Unitod States, September Ist. The f.unmun-y lefb New York on Wndiiosday. -6th. at 4.15 a.m., and ran into .i terrific storm ftum tho south-cast. Within fifteen minutes the steamship was thrown on her beam-ends, and remained so until noun, when sho sank. !'unng a eerie- of violent galea and rainstones wiii-h swops over Greab Britain and irelarnl the latter part of August, a passen- ;_.■'■ -steamer with more than a hundred souls on board had a narrow escape from O■:■-' i action oil' lhY.a-os._be, near Barns'; tibSe, Devonshire. Several of the passengers were injured seriously. In the "Mersey, a fishing smack foundered and all iianr's wero lest. On the 31sfc, tho Government cruiser i'eatrioo stranded off Graves-■M..-.L Wreck:, lined tho south coast of Em-laud. Ed ward Clark, James, Heath nnd Thomas Hayes, seamen on the American fourmasted ship Frederick Billings, were arraigned before United States Commissioner Hitchcock, in New York. August _7th, cmrrgod with mutiny. While on the voyago from Havre, July _Bth last, tho three men mutinied and made an assault on the captain, 11. H. Williams, anel his son, tho mate. They armed themselves with knives and threatened to kill, tho captain unless fcho ship put. back to Havre. Thoy gashed the ship, however, and, had they nofc boon prevented, would havo cut ib through. Thoy were overpowered and brought to Now York in irons. The accused men claim they wero tied up by the captain. The Norwegian barque Star of India, which sailed from Dundee, June 25fch, for Quebec, with a crew of twenty men, was bulletined " missing," at tbe New York " Maritime Excharrgo," September 10th. Tho bodies of four men and ono woman wero washed ashore at Seatteria, Cape Breton, September 10th, from tho wreck of the b;ii-quo Cameleia, bound to St. John's, N.F., from Bahia. British steamer Georgian arrived afc Boston, Mass., September 10th, bringing the crew of fche British barque Quebec, which foundored oil' the banks of Newfoundland in a hurricane on Monday, September 7tb. Among the rescued were four Liverpool boys all about 17 years of age, and of respectable parent's. Their names aro Patrick Dolan, John Roden, Patrick Roach, and John Donovan. They stole on board fche Quebec for a lark, and hid in tho hold. During fcho hurricane, bhey Btiflered terribly, for the ship went over on her beam onde, and the cargo shifted. When tho ship bogan to fill, they climbed on the cargo, out of the way of the water, and banged on tho hatch with a hatchet thoy had found. The captain ordered the hatch opened, and fcho half-dead boy. were pulled out. Advices were received afc London, Sopbomber 9th, of bhe wrecking of a Grimsby smack off Iceland (Ireland?) and bho drowning of 12 of her crew. The French liner La Touraine arrived ab New York, from Havre, Sepbember 6th, after a mosb disastrous voyage, the like of which she has not experienced in years. The upper works were all born bo pieces by bhe violence of bhe winds and waves, bub, forbunabely, no passengers were injured. Sbeam yachb Albabross, valued ab $100,000, was recenbly stranded an Gull Island and is a bobal wreck. Thero was a large party of guests on board, and all were landed safely, except Dr. J. E-. Etrgleston, only son of the owner, who is believed to have been drowned. British steamer Gloucester City, arrived at Bristol September 7th, from New York, had a rough passage. A huge wave swept her porfc-side cafcfcle sheds overboard, entailing tho loss of 51 bullocks, and the mate was fatally injured. The Board of Trade lias ordered an inquiry into the circumstances, the carriage of cattle on deck being contrary to regulations. ' Bribish ship Carr Rock, which sailed from Dundee, Juno 20bh, for San Erancisco, and was spoken on July 31st in lat. lldeg, N., long. 27deg W., has been burned at sea. The crew arrived at Santa Catharina. A despatch received from Yarmouth, N.S., September 11th, says the schooner Georgian, of that place, while being towed to Halifax, capsized, and all on board, sixteen in number, were drowned. A steam-launch, carrying non-union labourers from Dublin for Londonderry, sank in Lough Foyle, September 11th, after colliding with the steamer Albatross. Eighteen persons were drowned. A despatch from Corunna, September 12th, reports the French steamer Ville Nantes wrecked off that port. Greek steamer Septanois and fche English steamer Semirami?, collided off Syria, September 13tb, and fche latter sank. There was no loss of life. A collision took place, September 11th, off Cape Colonna, the most southern point of Attica, Greece, between the Italian steamship Taormina, of the Messageries Company, and the Greek steamship Thessalia. The Taormina sank in a few minutes ' after tho accident, drowning her captain, several of the crew, and sixty-six passengers, among bhem an American named John C. Oliphanb. Mosb of bho Taormina's passengers were in bheir berths ab bhe bime of the collision.
