Another party of twelve which left here for Present Island when returning were upset about midway between Flat Point and “ Wait a Bit” Point. They were in the water about an hour and ehalt before assistance reached them. W. E.

GI; t I)‘ l“ ‘5 l'EROlLlTION- Latest From Scolland. RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, MAY 8 , 1884. The state (f the Soudan and the den serous position l-f the garrison of Khar- ‘f'y toum naturally attract attention at the .11 present moment. The probability of send- iu ing relief across the desert becomes a matter of importance, and some account of the region will be of interest While move- ments on the part- of the Egyptians or General Gordon are expected. The dis- Lance from Massowah to Khartoum in a. straight line is near to four hundred miles, whiie from Suahim to Ber her is only about two hundred. Berber, again; is two hundred miles north of Khartoum, but along that line there is the Nile, which would supply water for troops and might be used for boats to carry troops and stores to Khartoum for its relief,or to aid the garrison in the other direction if an evacuation should be deter. mined upon. The route from Massowah, although the l)_g€st, has some advantages. It crosses the northern spurs of the Abys- sinian Mountains along a good part of its length, and water is plentiful, and even rivers may he foam] on this line, such as the Baromtho Ga'h or March, and the Atbara. The Susliim-Bsrber route, on the contrary, is through the great Nubian desert, where Wells are few and the water in them is of the most doubtful kind. Its bring the shorter of the two is its great merit if a sudden move has to be made. ATTACK OF THE ARABE. A large force of the enemy, 3,000 or 4,000 in number, horses and loot, assembled near Khartoum last month, and was on the evening of the 13th ulf. drawn up under arms, viih banners waving, on the right bank of the Nile, opposite to the palace. At 3 a. m. the next morning the Times cor- respondent was awakened by a. heavy rifle fire. He could see the flashes from the roof of the palace. The firing continued till daybreak, when about 6,0{30 rebels returned from the direciion of the river ‘ and drew up in four ranks, each nearly two ‘ , miles long. Later in the day they com» ‘ menced making huts and putting up tents. _ , He subsiquontly discovered that the cause i , oi the firing ares an attack on a party of {00 soldiers who had been sent down the V war for firewood. The following are Gen- eral Gordon’s words on the subjco arrangements of last night have ‘ triu- namely been put a, shy in by the folio wing circumstance: It appears tht by , some unaccountable negligence 300 of. the black troops had been left; on the Nile below.

On the 13th the correspondent had an in terview with General Gordon. who so nou'noed his intention of attacking the rebels on the following day. The reasons he gave for; this course Were as follows : “ I have 8(30, men, to Whom I have given arms, and who have remained faithful to me. shut up at Halfiyeb, some miles to the north of Khartoum. The preset)“: 0f the enemy round Half},th blocks our line of communications by steamer. For instance, the steamer Bourdain yesterday attempted to pass and the rebels opened fire, wound- ing three soldiers. The rebels cannot be A mare than 4,000, and I will malls my at- 3 tack on three ' sides«--on‘e' from that of ; Khartoum, one froiri'tha‘t oi the beleaguered ‘ garriscn‘ and one from armed steamers. The rebels have entrenghed themselves along the riVer hank, being thus enabled to fire with impunity on passing steamers, m and I must dislodge them, This assemblage 11 of rebels has not apparently interfered n: with the forwarding of supplies to the town market. One hundred camels, carry- ing food, arrived here today. This is above the'iisual daily number, and the fact shows that the people would not rise unless they were egged on by some maloontsnts. They would be quiet if they believed the ' Government had iany backbone. Provided ’ that no influence be brought to bear from - without, the loss of an action Will not in- volve immediat; danger to'lfihartoum. The only justification for assuming the oflensive against these poor unfortunate peasants is derived from the law, of self defence, and the duty oi the extiication of the men beleaguered in Halfiveh. But for this, it is questionable whetlier- we ought to shoot down those whose reason for rebellion is fidelity to the only person whom they can see as their coming governor in the imme- diate future, with the Wish to preserve their possessions| the security of which oannotbe guaranteed by the present provisional govâ€" ernment." The necessity of rescuing the i garrison at Hslfiyeb led to the postponement , of the attack on the enemy until'ihe 1‘6th. , The result of the fiction is'liniiwn.

These supernatural events were promised by some pious women to the late Pius IX. ; yet he never believed in such prophecies or revelations. The last fourteen years have seen events which, far irom encouraging prophets and prophecies, havs demonstrated their complete failure. The wisest men in Rome regret that the clerical press has given circulation to the rumor of the is parture oi the Pope. The threat has been received with complete indifference by the Government.

The Wlll of the late Earl of Seaiield has just been made known. All the estates are left, without any restriotlon, to the Dew- uger Countess of Seafield. She, howuver. has just executed a. trust whereby £4,000 per annum will be paid to the present EM]. After her death the estates wfll be men- uged by trustees. After the lapse of two generations they may revert to the holder of the txtle. In the meantime the chief of the Clan Grant is divorced from the en- cient heritage of his race. This cucum- stence is accounted for, acooréing to rumor. by the fact that the present Earl i s a. beerul in politics. In any cause, the 'elien- ation of the chief of the Grants from the Grant estates has created no small amount of irritation among the elunsmen. The estates are burdened to the extent of about £8,000. Their extensive plantations make them extremely valuable. Emboldened by the recent proposition of a. St. Louis newspaper men, embodied in a.
