LATE CABLE NEWS.

[By Tblbgbaph.] , [Per s.s. Arawata, at Russell.]] i A portion of the Late Cable Nows, per the i above ship, was given in our yesterday’s issue. 1 The following are additional items : LONDON. November 22. The Government is taking active measures to punish all endeavoring to intimidate landlords and tenants who continue to pay rent. With regard to the case at Ballinrobe, where a landlord was ostracised, and to whose assistance a large body of soldiers and volunteers wore recently sent, a strict enquiry has been made in order to ascertain the names of the most active of the intimidators, and 100 arrests have been made in consequence. The prisoners have been charged with the offence preparatory to their being placed on trial. Laycock has issued a challenge to row Wallace Boss over the champion course for 200 or 500 a side. The London “Sportsman,” commenting on the performance of Laycock in the Hop Bitters contest, urges a match between Laycock and Hanlan for the Championship of the World. November 23. The City of Glasgow Bank committee has resolved to retain the New Zealand land assets until the market is more favorable. The “ Pall Mall Gazette ” contrasts the position of Victoria and New South Wales as two equally democratic communities, and believes that Victoria continually falling behind will cause a speedy change of policy. The fears which were entertained some time ago that a collision would occur between the constabulary and peasantry have been realised. A strong party of police proceeded yesterday to Ballina, county Mayo, one of the centres of the Land League, for the purpose of arresting several prominent leaders whom the Government intended to prosecute for conspiracy and intimidation. The people of the town, on learning the intention of the constables, assembled in large numbers, many of them being armed, and obstructed the police in the execution of their duty. They refused to disperse when called upon and attacked the police. A sanguinary encounter ensued, resulting in several police being seriously wounded. A large number of persons were finally arrested. Further disturbances are apprehended, and everything possible has been done to strengthen the police. A Capetown telegram says:—Further intelligenoe of a disquieting character was received to-day, showing that the hostilities of the Native tribes are extending and assuming more serious proportions. The Daly tribe, which has hitherto maintained a friendly attitude to the British Government, has now revolted and attacked the British Residency at Lorinda. Failing a capture upon the first occasion, the attack was renewed with no better success. A gallant defence was made b|y those belonging to the Residency, and the enemy were repulsed. The situation generally is becoming serious, and it is now manifest that the colony must put forth its utmost strength to crush the hostile tribes. A telegram from Constantinople received to-day says:—The actual outbreak of hostilities took place on Monday, when the Turkish troops under Dervish Pasha surrounded the town and certain Albanians fired the first shots, and wero replied to by the Turkish soldiers without serious casualties on either side. Dervish Pasha maintained the position which he has taken up in the neighborhood of Dulcigno, and now awaits further instructions from bis Government.

A Cape Town cablegram, giving later intelligence from the seat of war, reports that a great battle was fought on Saturday, Nov. 13th, between a body of colonial troops numbering 1500, and an immense gathering of Basuto tribes estimated at 5000. They were known to have been concentrating for some time past, and all the available colonial troops were consequently concentrated to meet them. On the day mentioned, it was determined to make an attack on the enemy, which was accordingly done. The Basutoj made only a brief resistance before taking flight. They were pursued by the cavalry for a considerable distance with great slaughter. 300 Basutos were killed, and the total loss on the colonial aide was only six. November 24. The wish expressed by the sporting press of England to bring about a race between Trickett, Hanlan, and Layoook has proved resultless. Hanlan asked for six weeks’time. Laycock being anxious to meet him offered to defer his departure from England for that period, and Hanlan then made it a condition of the match that there should be a level bet of £IOOO in addition to the usual stake of £2OO aside. The proposal was not acceded to, and the match has fallen through. Both Trickett and Laycock intend to meet him at Toronto next year. Messrs Longmans and Co. have paid £12,000 for “Endymion,” by Lord Boaoonsfield. The “ Times” states that General Nicholson has been appointed Governor of Tasmania. Prince Bismarck is unwell and unable to attend to his duties. Hanlan has started on a visit to Paris.
