In the House of Lords to-day, Earl Granville, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, took occasion to refer to the debates which have taken place in the House of Commons on the subject of the rejection by the Lords of the Irish Registration of Yoters Bill. His Lordship in the course of his remarks said he desired to disavow any sympathy with the tenor of the speeches made by his colleague, Mr W. E. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, who had blamed the Lords for persisting in a course calculated to lead to a necessity for a change in the English constitution. CALCUTTA, September 6.

Farther intelligence has been received of the engagement between the British troops and Ayoub Khan near Candahar. The details show that General Roberts feigned an attack in full force on Ayoub’s entrenchments at Babawhu and Kabal. He succeeded in turning the enemy’s position, when they found their retreat cut off by an overwhelming force in their rear, by which they were completely routed.
