In the House of Commons this evening a debate took place on the subject of the South African colonies. In the course of the debate it was announced, on behalf of the Government, that it was not intended for the present to further press the proposed confederation, in view of the opposition which was manifested to the proposal in the Ospe Parliament. September 1. Nows lately received from China reports the renewal of friendly relations between that country and Russia, and it is understood that a thorough entente cordials now exists between the two Governments. Negotiations are proceeding at Pekin for the conclusion of a treaty between the two Gauntries which will include the settlement of the Kuldja difficulty and other questions.

The Bight Hon. W. P. Adams has been appointed to the Governorship of Madras, in room of the Duke of Buckingham, who returns to England. Overtures have been made to the French Government with a view of obtaining some concession in respect to the order for closing the schools belonging to the Jesuits, Dominicans, and other teaching orders. The Jesuits have stated their willingness to secularise their schools, and have promised to take no part in politics for the future. The offers have been accepted, and it is understood that the colleges and schools of the Orders named will bo reopened. When General Boberts entered Candahnr he was received in state by Wali Shere AH and by Generals Primrose and Burrows. There was general rejoicing, as the Oandahar people were alarmed at the possibility of the entry of the Herat and Cabul soldiery of Ayoub Khan. Montenegro is not satisfied with the cession of territory made by Turkey, and demands an indemnity of a million and a quarter francs (£50,000) on account of the expenses to which she has been put by the refusal of the Porte to givo effect to the decision of the Berlin Conference.
The young Queen of Holland yesterday gave birth to a daughter. There have been great rejoicings at the Hague and Amsterdam, as it was feared that the lino of Orange Nassau would become extinct on the death of the King and the Prince of Orange. September 2.
Baron Hay merle, the Austrian Chancellor, has arranged a meeting with Prince Bismarck at Frederiokburg.

The recent successes of Chili have been so important that that power has now proposed to incorporate the whole of Bolivia in her territory. The Bolivians are not willing to lose their nationality, and though temporarily vanquished would be troublesome subjects. September 3. The action of the House of Lords threatens to bring about a crisis. The House has offended the Irish by rejecting the Compensation Bill, and annoyed the farmers by amending the Kate Bill. It has also irritated the working men by the rejection of certain clauses in the Employers’ Liabilities Bill. Yesterday the House of Lords rejected the Irish Registration Bill, although the Government aided in passing it through the House of Commons, and the Irish parly are avenging this action by blocking the Appropriation Bill. The House of Lords also refused to accept some amendments made by the House of Commons in the Burial Bill, thus encouraging a now agitation against the House. This serious disagreement between the Houses is delaying the rising of Parliament. CONSTANTINOPLE, September 1.
The subject of the desired cession of Dulcigno by the Albanians continues to occupy the public attention. Although efforts have constantly been made to induce them to give effect to the decisions of the Groat Powers, these have proved unavailing. The Turkish troops, which are ordered to force the surrender of the town to the Montenegrins, have now arrived in the immediate vicinity, and the leaders of the Albanian league hnvo despatched a telegram to the Sultan finally declaring that they refuse to hand over the place, and that they are resolved to resist to the utmost extremity.
