LATE CABLE NEWS.

[By Tbieobaph.]

A portion of the Date Cable News, per s.s. Bingarooma, was given in our yesterday’s issue. The following are additional items : LONDON, October 11. Serious disturbances have occurred at Smyrna owing to the excited religious feeling. A number of fanatic Mahomedans attacked the Italian Consul and severely maltreated him before be was rescued. The Italian Government has demanded reparation for the outrage. The native tribes in southern and western Afghanistan are very restless, the whole country along the course of the Heltnund Biver is disturbed. The high road between Herat and Candahar, which passes through this territory, is unsafe, and many caravans conveying merchandise have been looted by predatory tribes. Intelligence received from Lima states that negotiations are in progress between Chili and Peru for the termination of hostilities. Chili offers more favorable terms than those at first submitted, and the good offices of British and American Ministers have been exercised in order to bring the war to a close. October 12.

Complications are likely to arise with Barmab. The country is again unsettled, and armed bands are threatening places along the frontier between the British territory and Burmab. A thousand Burmese are marching against Allanga. A grand demonstration has been held in New York in honor of General Grant. The city was magnificently decorated, and a procession numbering over 40,000 people, and consisting principally of old soldiers who hod served under him during the civil war, marched through the streets at night. The city was brilliantly illuminated. The French Government have appointed a Resident Minister to the Eepublio of Mexico. This is the first resumption of friendly relations with Mexico since the execution of the Emperor Maximilian by Juarez in 1867. Negotiations have been opened with the Porte in the interests of the Turkish bondholders in order that some arrangements may be made for the settlement of their claims. The Sultan has expressed himself desirous of coming to some understanding in the matter, and favorable terms have been offered to the bond-holders.

Agrarian outrages in the West of Ireland still continue. Strong reinforcements of military and police have been sent to that part of the country, which is now under a state of martial law. The English journals impress strongly upon the Government the imperative duty of enforcing the law, and suppressing all attempts at disturbance. The Government are exhibiting a determination to act with rigor in the repression of disturbances in Ireland, and it is stated as probable that proceedings will bo taken against some of the more prominent leaders of the Land Leagues which have been formed throughout the country to resist the payment of rent, and who have rendered themselves notorious by the violence of their language. The French Government have determined upon the enforcement of the decrees of the 29th of March last, which provided not only for the dissolution of the Jesuit religious establishments, but required other Orders to come under the authority of the State. The decrees relating to the Jesuits have already been called out, but the lata Premier, M. De Freyoinet, was desirous of withholding the operation of the decrees as against the other orders for a time, and retired rather than be a party to their enforcement. M. Ferry has now given official intimation that the decrees will be suitably enforced, and that the State will exercise its right to control the education of youths. A large number of Basutos nnder the command of Lerethodi attacked the detachment of Gape Mounted Bides who were entrenched near Mafeting, and after a severe encounter forced the Bides to retreat to the fort of Maseru. At this point the local forces made a determined stand, and receiving reinforcements were enabled subsequently to indict a defeat upon the natives, who lost heavily. The chances of the Bepublioan party at the ensuing Presidential elections are considered favorable.

The disturbances in the Argentine Bepublio have ceased, and Buenos Ayres is now at peace. General Boca, the Commander-in-chief of the Confederation, and one of the chiefs of the Federalist party, has been accepted as President. The Unitarians have submitted.

Intelligence received from Candahar states that sickness is very prevalent amongst the British troops stationed at Candahar. They have suffered much from the excessive heat; fever is common, and their condition of health generally is unsatisfactory. The situation in Basutoland is critical. The natives, under the leadership of Lerethodi and other rebellions chiefs, have assembled in large numbers, and have surrounded the detachments of Cape Bides stationed at Mafeting and Maseru. Beinforcements have been ordered up from the Cape, and volunteers in large numbers have left for the front, but the garrisons are still unrelieved. It is believed that they can maintain their ground for some days, but they are still suffering great straits from want of supplies. Their provisions have been exhausted, and the cavalry horses have had to be sacrificed, the men having no other means of subsisting. Much anxiety exists concerning their position. The authorities, in not hastening the movements of the relieving force, are severely criticised. Mr Forster, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, in response to an invitation to attend a banquet in Dublin, has written a letter, in which, while declining the honor, he sets forth the views of the Government upon the condition of the country, He states that they fully recognise that the situation is alarming. The agitation and consequent outrages throughout the South and West of Ireland having assumed proportions which call for prompt and severe repression, the Government were fully determined to maintain order in the country, but he repudiated the suggestion that special coercive measures were necessary, as he believed the power which the Government possessed would bo sufficient to enable them to cope with the difficulty. At any rate, until the operation of the existing law was exhausted, he did not purpose having recourse to special legislation. Extensive strikes have taken place amongst the artisans at Wolverhampton, to resist a proposed reduction in the rate of wages. Several large establishments have been dosed. Several articles have appeared in the London press upon the financial position of New Zealand, in which attention is drawn to the enormous amount of its liabilities as compared with its population. The extent to which the colony has appealed to the London Stock Exchange is severely criticised, and a strong opinion is expressed that for some time at least no attempt should be made to float any farther loans. Grand fetes have been held at Cologne to celebrate the completion of the magnificent Cathedral, a work which was commenced in the year 1248, over 630 years ago, and brought to a close on August 14th, when the last stones were set up on the two towers. Prince Gortschakoff, the Bussian Chancellor, is dangerously ill. His situation is critical, and his physicians give little hopes of his recovery. The death is announced of Carol Cardinal Bartolomeo Paoka, at the age of sixty-three years. He was an Italian, and was Cardinal Deacon in 1875. October 18, The French Government have given instruc tions for the expulsion of the other orders affected by the March decrees. The Barnabites, an order of monks chiefly devoted to the education of youths, and the Carmelites, a mendicant'order of friars, who have had under their control several important educational establishments, have also been expelled from Paris.

A large meeting of Irish inhabitants of Bradford was held there last evening, at which a number of speeches were delivered upon Irish grievances, and the conduct of the press in recommending repressive measures was violently denounced. The relations between the Czar and Ozarewitch are very strained in consequence of the morganatic marriage of the Czar with his mistress, the Princess Dolgorouki. The Ozur is extremely anxious that hie son should acknowledge the marriage. He has offered to appoint the Ozarewitch co-regent of Bussia on the condition that he will _do so. The answer of the Ozarewitch to this proposal is not known. A plot of a very serious oharaotorhas been discovered at Constantinople. A conspiracy in which a large number of people were concerned has been discovered, the object of which was to create a riot, under cover of which it was intended to pillage the bazaar at Istamboul. Three hundred persons have been arrested on suspicion of complicity in the matter.
