The sculling race between Torn SiiHiran, of .New Zealand, and Geortie Bubear, of England, for L2OO a side nml the Sportsman's Challenge Cup, will be rowed over the championship course from Putney to Mortlakc. Tin- r;ice has created a great deal of inti-rcst, and betting is oven, both men being in the pink of condition. Sullivan beat Bubear by f> lengths. Two deaths from cholera are reported at Newcastle. It is generally considered that Ivos, the American billiard player, defeated Roberts, tho English Champion, in tho six days' matches in Chicago, owing to the largo size of the balls usod. It is reported that Lord Carrington will accept the Governor-Generalship of India. Tho Indian native press suggests Lord Brassey as a suitable man for tbo Vice« royalty. The Catnperdown got aground at the entrance to Malta owing to the failure of the steering gear to act properly. Lord Carrington states he is unaware that he has been appointed Viceroy of India. Tho Victorian loan was over subscribed. Mr Gladstone, referring to the Catholic Congress in Chicago, expressed tho belief that the American heiravchy is rendering great service in modernising the Church, and that Christianity is the only solution of the social problem. M. Zola, addressing the gathoring of journalists at the Imperial Institute, commented on the advantages of the British custom of preserving anonymity in political writings. He asserted that the French papers had lost their authority, and were in a degraded condition. Mr Gladstone has issued a circular thanking members of the Liberal Party for their support. He points out that they have had to undergo eight months of unexampled labour. There can be no doubt the country appreciates their selfsacrifice. Madrid, September 25. Two bombs were thrown among a group of officers at a review in Barcelona. Marshal Campos was severely injured. The scene of the outrage was the saluting, point. Six other officers, including two generals, were wounded. One has since died. The spectators fled at tho sight of the horses and officers becoming a bleeding hoap on the ground, and in the rush many were crushed and severely injured. Pallas, who threw the bombs, is a wellknown Anarchist, and l\u* been arrested. He appears to glory in having committed the outrage. Pauis, September 25. At the suggestion of the Russian government the Premier will control the festivities observed at tlie reception of tho Russian fleet, and seek to modify the extravagant enthusiasm Jot the Press. The Socialist Deputies oppose the reception, and tho Anarchists appeal to Frenchmen to spit in the faces of the Russian autocrats in the squadron. The miners of the Borinage have struck, and the Carsnutx miners have resolved to follow their example. Two Cruisers from the Mediterranean squadron have been ordered to Bangkok to support De Villiers, tho French envoy. Washington, September 25. It appears likely, from the determined nature of the opposition, tho repeal of the Sherman Act will only bo carried when the minority is exhausted by a sleepless night. Ivos and Roberts played faur out of a series of six billiard matches at Chicago, the American champion's total was 4000 to 340. San Francisco, September 25. Owing to a dispute among sailors a bomb was exploded in a lodging house occupied by non-unionists. Four men were injured and 2 killed. Vienna, September 24.
