ADDITIONAL MAIL NEWS.

[From the Dunedin " Star."] A telegram from Cork says that the polioe removed the remainder of the arms from the Juno. A number of bags were found on the wherf. The boats were pulled with muffled oars, and it was no secret that there were arms aboard. All the marauders were armed with revolvers. Six men were arrested and have been beforo the magistrate. They all belong to Cork, and were unable to give any account of their presence at the place. They were committed for trial. The most remarkable circumstance connected with the affair is, that while the boats wero leaving and Btill in view from the vessel no alarm was given by the captain or the revenue officer on board. At the time of tho robbery the patrols were on the road outside Cork, and were only twenty-five yards from the ship, and the slightest alarm would haTe reached them. Four of tho rifles stolen from the ship Juno were found in a garden at Roches Town ; sixteen more rifles have been found in the furze, not 100 yards from where the first lot was found. The captain of the Juno states that after the marauders landed he heard the rattle of wheels on the road, showing that they must have employed carriages. Later telograms state that tho seizure of arms afc Cork is generally regarded as a melodramatic performance for effect in New York. Only fifty-seven old smooth-bore muskets wore stolen, and twenty have been recovered. The fact that fifty men suddenly assembled, nearly all with revolvers, on hearing that tho ship possessed arms, is very significant. Secret societies have developed lately in Ireland, and it is alleged that many Irish Americans have arrived. The Radical and Democratic Olubß in London and suburbs assembled in Westminster, and urged Mr O'Connor, the Homo Rule member for Galway, to press his motion adverse to the existence of the House of Lords to a diviaion. Mr O'Connor lepliod, expressing his sympathy with the objects of

the meeting. The debate in the House of Commons which began on August 26th, was continued until 1 p.m. on the 27th. Lord Hartington urged the Irish members to proceed to the consideration of the vote of supply, assuring them that they were mistaken if they thought to wring pledges from the Government by obstructing Government supply. Notwithstanding this appeal the discussion was kept up, and a motion to report progress negatived by 142 to 29. Tho O'Donoghuo then moved an adjournment, which was also negatived. At 4 a.m. Mr Parnel) revived his motion for an adjournment, to which Lord Hartington objected, saying that tho vote on the Irish Constabulary Bill had been down for three nights, and the Irish members, instead of proceeding with it, had raised discussions on other matters. At five o'clock Mr A. M. Sullivan was speaking in justification of tho procedure of the Irish members. He spoke for nearly an hour. Mr Parnoll fcben suggested an adjournment, and said that the present Btato of affairs was the result of Lord Hartington's headstrong course. At 11.50 p.m. Lord Hartington accepted l the proposal of Mr Parnell that the Irish Estimates should be voted that night and the Constabulary Estimates on the following Monday. In the House of Commons re the Indian expenditure, Lord Hartineton severely denounced the late Government for their negligence in preparing the War Estimates, and under-estimating not only the expenses but the difficulties of the enterprises. Of tho deficit, he said that £3,500,000 remains to bo covered this year. A loan had already been authorised for productive works, the proceeds of which are to bo devoted to this purpose. It was also intended to reduce tho drawings in India on Home acoount by about £1,000,000. If these measures were insufficient a loan might be raised in India, but no addition to the Indian debt would he miide if it were possible to avoid it. A_ statement regarding tho Imperial contribution to the war expenses in India must be deferred until the complete cost of the war was fully ascertained ; but the war being clearly the result of the Imperial polioy, assistance to India from the Imperial resources was necessary. The Indian Prinoe Ramiohundar, for some time resident at St. Petersburg, who is related to the notorious Nana Sahib, has again appeared bb the friend and adviser of Abdurrahman Khan, to meet whom he is for tho second time on his way to Afghanistan. The suspicions which his former movements in RuEsia and Afghan-Turkestan created in tho mind of those who believe in the latest report of Russian intrigues in Afghan will probably only be increased by the {latest advices about him. Ramiohundar intends to go to Teheran on his way to the Ameer's headquarters. He says that the Ameer finds no sympathy at Teheran, bb the Persian officials regard him as an instrument of Russia. They are also highly displeased at Skobeloff's movements against the Turcomans, seeing therein danger to Herat, which the Shah hopes to annex. A letter from General Primrose, received at Killa Abdullah, gives some particulars of the sortie from Oandahar on August 16sh. The British attacked the village of Nehkhuwajee and got through it, but finding it strongly occupied and reinforced by contingents from a neighboring village they had to retire to the fortress. The enemy's loes was heavy. The British cavalry made two charges, ontting down many. A Simla despatch states that in tho sortie from Oandahar, Brigadier - General Brookes, Colonel Nowport, Major French, Captain Cruiokahank, and three lieutenants were killed ; three officers severely and two were slightly wounded, and 180 men killed. Russia is concentrating troops at Bessarabia, causing thereby uneasiness in Roumania and Austria. The Russian objact is to support Bulgaria in the event of the Roumanians rising. Orders have been given by the Porte for tho immediate repair of the forts afc the Black Sea Entrance to tho Bosphorus. The Turkish Ministers continue to deolaro that they are fully consoious of the necessity of Bolving the Montenegrin question without delay, in order to strengthen the diplomatic and military position with regard to the Greek claims, and in order to diminish the pressure of Russia, who is the special protector of Montenegro ; but the Sultan still hesitates to take any decided steps towarda ceding tho territory, and the Albanians continue their preparations for resistance without interference from the Porte, Riza Pasha having at once fraternised with the Albanian League. Oaman Pasha, the newly-appointed Governor of Scutari, is also playing a double game. Tho following are additional details of the murder, near Corstantinople, of Dr. Parsons, an American missionary. One of the assassins placed the muzzle of his rifle close to Dr. Parsons' servant, fired at and killed him instantaneously. Dr. Parsons th6n started up, but before he could say or do anything a bullet pierced his heart. JE™° Circassians' threw the bodios over a precipice, at tho foot of which they were found after a few days. An American residing at Israel telegraphed the facts to the British Ambassador, who communicated with Mr Heath, the American Consul-General. A squad of soldiers went to the camp of the Circassians and threatened to shoot the whole tribe unless the murderers were surrendered, whereupon the murderers were delivered up to the authorities. The affair caused great consternation in Constantinople, and the people now travel armed, and if possible with an armed guard, when riding or driving in the suburbs.

The " New York Herald's " Madrid correspondent sends the following:—"Finding that General Blanch was sending over more of tho rebel Cuban chiefs and of the rank and file who have lately surrendered than oan conveniently be received in the penal settlement, the Government have determined, to embark several hundred men, including some prominent chiefs, for the Mariana Islands, near tho Phillipines, The3e ialandß ore half deserted and desolate, aro inhabited by savages, and are overrun by rats. The climate is tropical and most unhealthy. Tho army in Cuba is to be reduced by tho homeward return of 14,000 men, whoso time has expired. However, 8000 recruits are to be sent out in October." A telegram from Atlantio City (New Jersey) dated August 11th, says :—" At hail past six o'clook this evening the second Bection of the excursion train which left at six o'olock ran into the first soction, telescoping the rear car, killing two persons and injuring about twenty-flve. The other excursion train consisted of twenty-six cars, sixteen in the first and ten in the second seotion. All the cars of the first section had passed the switch except two, when the second section came thundering on behind. The engineer of tho latter section whistled " down brakes " as he approached tho switch, but when tho brakes were applied they failed to work owing to the wet, and tho rear locomotive crashed into the last car of

ithe first section, causing a feorful wreck. The cylinder heads were foroad open, and dense clouds of steam poured through the car, scalding nearly every passenger in it. The orowded cars were speedily emptied, and every effort was made to aid the wounded." A telegram dated August 12th says the number of deaths thus far caused by the accident is fifteen, and two more are expected. The Turkish regulars in Europe have been increased to 800 per battalion. There is to be a great divorce case in the London Courts. It was instituted a few months ago, but through the intervention of friends was hushed up, when the Queen's Proctor intervened. Four of the favorites of fashion will be dragged in, and Btill higher names are mentioned. A Parliamentary paper has been issued containing reports by the British Consuls in Egypt on the state of that country. Mr Maleb, the British Agent and Consul-General, says these reports were drawn up at his request, being anxious to learn how far the numerous administrative changes made by the Government were producing effect, and whether the rumors of their success might be relied on. " The answer," he adds, "is extremely satisfactory. It leads one to hope that the condition of the Fellah is at last permanently changed for the better, and that the misrule and oppression to whioh he has been subject for centuries have passed away for good." The use of the whip in the collection of taxes is said to have become virtually extinct. The Liberals of Clackmannan and Kinross have asked Mr J. B. Balfour, SolicitorGeneral for Scotland, to contest the seat vaoated by Mr Adam, the new Governor of Madras. A despatch from Theytinayo says that reports have been received there from Mandalay of an attempt to assassinate the King. A Thebau Pongee went to the King's apartment, where he was stopped and questioned. His replies were unsatisfactory, and ho was seized, when a dagger dropped from his garments. He had twelve associates. The Pongee and one of his associates were put to death.
