By Telk<»u4»J‘ [FROM "T*E t'OBBESI’OJfOENT OF THE PRESS.] AucKiiA.Ni), September 25. TItS ENGLISH M I SSI ON TO I.'AIiUL. r J'lic Indian Government (says the Lcnduii papers) has promptly realised the of the danger to our iut rest :' v u the instillation of Ku&iaa officers in Afghanistan, and has taken a pr°c;intiaua.vy measure which, for its simplicity and boldness, must command the approval of the country. Telegrams contain the intelligence that a .Russian oJlicer laid been received in audience by Shore Ali. It appears that Chmnul Ahramor is accompanied by • tie..- ohideVs. whose names have not tra.’.spa’o.t, and by an olliccr of GoS' ii'ha ...ui tJ’ibecliU The imsshin envoy ii the nearer net only of a f tier from the Governor. General of T'urkistan, but also of one from the Emperor ol Russia to the Amcor of C'abv.l. To

such condescension on the part of the Autocrat of all the Rtxssias Sherc Ali could not be indifferent, and accordingly a grand review was held, to which representatives and troops had been summoned from all parts of the kingdom The Russian officers entered C'abul on the 22nd of July, and the military display just referred to took place on the 2nd August. The object of the mission is still nnasce tabled now it is near, again it is Balkh, and then at another moment it is the petty Khanates which lie east of Hissar, and at the base of the Pamir Plateau. At all of these points General Kaufmann maybe indirectly driving. His prime object is probably simply the acquisition of a passage. With this in his possession he can manoeuvre as he pleases, and in perfect secrecy. The act'on of the Indian Government has fortunately been as prompt as the occasion deserves It lias been determined, as was sad last night in the House of Commons, to despatch a counter British mission, and this mission will start next month. The head of the mission is to be Lieutenant-General Chamberlain, the bearer of a name dear to Anglo-Indians, and bo is to have under him the gallant Major Cavanagli, the hero of the surprise of iho hillraen last February, and other distinguished British officers. Thorn is to bo a large escort, in addition to a native regiment, thellth Bengal Lancers. England will be very properly represented by this gallant display, and Shore Ali will show something of the sagacity of his father if he prove amenable to the lessons it should convey. It is rumored that Shore Ali will be required to receive a permanent British resident at Cabul, and British agents in other places. It is generally believed he will refuse unless armed occupation is threatened. It is said that a large majority of the Indian Council oppote the annexation which isso'zealously advocated by Sir Henry Rawlinson. England will insist upon the rectification of the North-Western Indian frontier, if Shore Ali adopt a hostile policy AUSTRIAN OPERATIONS IN BOSNIA. The Austrian armies are operating in Bosnia. One from Dalmatia upon Mostar, which it occupied : one from Issak, which captured Saravego, the Bosnian capital, after a severe engagement in the streets in which women and children took part. The third army operated from Navi, but has been held in check by the Bosnians who muster 65,000 men with excellent artillery. Reinforcements bring the Austrians up to 150,000. The war is unpopular in Hungary. Under the direction of General Phillipodich a mixed council has been formed at Seravego, composed of five Mohammedans, three Catholics, six Orthodox, and four Jews. From this body Fasnli Pasha, the former civil Governor, was appointed Mayor. On August 28th tho Vienna papers said there was a momentary cessation of military operations until four newly mobilised divisions bad arrived at their destination. A few days afterwards the whole of the mobilised force, numbering from 150,000 men, will he united. Operations will he prosecuted on a large scale. THE YELLOW NEVER IN THE STATES. A New Orleans telegram of September Ist says with regard to tho fever, that the general impression seems to be that tho worst has yet to oome. The Ancient Order of Hibernians make an appeal to similar organisations throughout the United States for assistance. They say tho yellow fever is thinning their ranks. The distress is fearful, their v. sources are exhausted, and they appeal in God’s name for assistance to alleviate the sufferings of their addicted brethren. The Lusitanian, Portuguese Benevolent Association. and German Benevolent Association, each make a similar appeal to its respective organisation throughout the Union for help. EXECUTION OF HOEDEL. Berlin, August 16. Hoedel, who attempted the assassination of the Emperor William on May 11th in the Avenue, Unter der Linden, was beheaded this morning in the Courtyard of the new prison. Tho Imperial warrant, decreeing that justice should take its course, was signed on the Bth of tho presontmoutli. Hoedel’s ago wa.-. about twenty-one. On his trial lie protested that lie had not intended to take the life of the Emperor, but fought to sacrifice bis own life in a public manner, in order to create sympathy for the suffering people, but numerous witnesses testified that Hoedel levelled his weapon direct iit ihe Emperor. Hoedel when informed that his execution was fixed upon, became deadly pale. Ho was said to plead for a pardon, but recovered his composure wheu told that it was useless. He then asked for wine for supper and drank to the commanders and loaders of social democracy. When his sentence was road lie spat disdainfully and said “bravo.” Ho resented the ministrations of tho chaplain, declaring them useless, as it would tike years to convert him. Fifty persons, including the officials, attended the executions, which is generally approved of. An official note of the execution has been posted through the city as a warning. HAZARD AND CALDECOTT’S FAILURE. The “Home News” (August Ist) says the ease of Messrs Hazard and C Jdccott, woolbrokers. whose failure, with liabilities amounting ty, ,£500,000 was recently announced, came before the Court of Bankruptcy last week. An application was made by the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company. Limited, for an order that Kemp, tho receiver and manager, should pay over the sum of <£16,110, being the proceeds of a sale of wool effected by the debtors as brokers, It appeared that the money had been received by Kemp, and he had pa d it into a separate banking account. Mr Linldater, for Kemp, expressed a desire to act in the matter under the direction of the Court. He had ascertained that the debtors bad large quantities of wool in their hands, and he understood that the Bank of South Australia claimed a portion of the wool sold for the New Zealand Company, Mr Coward, for the Bank of South Australia, asked for time for the purpose of bringing forward his claim. Ho said that the wool having been pledged to the Bank, was afterwards sold, and the debtors in order to obtain money borrowed documents from tho Bank, it being expected that probably some arrangement might be made between tho parties. The Registrar made an order for the matter to stand over for a few days. CIARtBALDI’s LETTERS. A telegram, dated Rome, August 23rd, says— Another letter from Garibaldi is published, the fourth in the past fortnight, intended to promote agitation against the Germanic government, especially Austria. He denounces the Kaiser Bund, and Bismarck’s endeavor to caress his natural enemy, the head supporter of the Vatican. He says he finds nothing horrible in the programme of tho German Socialists. On the contrary, two of their articles form part of his life long convictions, and their- fulfilment is indispensable for tho amelioration of the material condition of tho people. These articles are a uniform tax and nation. Alarmed Emperors naturally prefer masses who obey their will. But on oiiv part eminent men are not wanting to organise, under the auspices of liberty and justice, an opposition, to the overwhelming tide of despotism and falsehood. BULGARIAN BRETALITI2S.
