ARRIVAL OF THE 'FRISCO MAIL.

[Per e.s. Zealandia at Auckland.] ADDITIONAL ITEMS. The Dublin “ Freeman’s Journal,” in an article protesting against the freedom of the City of Dublin being conferred upon General Wolseley on his return, asserts that the General, when about to start for Egypt, declared that the only alloy to his pleasure over the prospects of his expedition was the fear that the Irish people might take advantage of his absence to rise, and he would not be there to suppress them. During the pendency of the discussion of the Coercion Bill two journals say that General Wolseley expressed the hope that if the Irish should revelt he might be sent to Ireland to suppress them and teach them what war meant. The Hon. Mr Childers, Secretary of War, rose in his place in the Commons, on the 9th, to give the journal’s statement an unqualified denial. The General has refused the freedom of the eitj. However, at the second meeting on the subject the Corporation of Dublin held, the vote stood 27 to 20. The amendment against presenting it was made the original resolution by Mr T. D. Sullivan, M.P. The discussion was illustrated by several lively scenes. On the 14th the journal formally apologised for its accusation against General Wolseley. It stated that the General had written a letter declaring it his earnest desire to see Ireland loyal, peaceable, and prosperous. Mr Gladstone in his speech on November Bth in opposition to Sir Stafford Northcote’s amendment for the rejection of cloturejrulos, has given rise to much comment. He said the present procedure rules prevented him dealing with local self-go-vernment for Ireland, about which he was more profoundly anxious than any subject he could name. Reports are rife of negotiations between the Government and Irish leaders on the question of Home Rule. The Dublin “ Freeman’s Journal ” calls the Premier’s position a change of front. It is impossible to exaggerate the significance of this utterance. Mr Gladstone would not dare to use the words he did unless thex-e was some meaning behind them. He proposed that England will recognise Home Rule distinctly as admitted, and brought out clearly into the domain of practical politics by Mr Gladstone in his speech. The “ Irish Times,” commenting on the subject, says—- “ Mr Gladstone has made a remarkable now bid for the Irish vote.”

PARIS, November 3. A revolutionary manifesto was posted in Paris and Marseilles last night, printed on red paper. Two hundred were posted near Louoro, Place Luxembourg, and the Jardine dos Plantes. They express the deepest hate of the bourgeoise, and declare war to death against them. Explosive materials were discovered in a coal depot and the telegraph office at St. Meurcain, Berne, on November 6th. The French Government having addressed a complaint, couched in strong terms, to the Federal Council against the proceedings of the Anarchists at Geneva, an investigation into the matter was ordered. Prince Krapotistgas has recently appeared in Berne. “Le Paris” publishes details of the Anarchist conspiracy, and they show that it is composed of a small number of staunch supporters in all the towns and manufacturing villages of France. The members are mostly young men, who distribute revolutionary orders. Each group has a distinct name letter, signed by the authorities, and recommends that the group should pretend to be Trade Unions. All groups in the department form a confederation, the same having a secret symbol, and these federations are a link between the groups and the central committee. Several persons who were arrested on Saturday last belongto the federation. The central committee is composed of delegates from each of the federations. A letter in Prince Krapotkins’ handwriting shows him to bo a member of the conspiracy. LYONS, October 26.

Numerous arrests of Anarchists were effected. The Bourse was strongly and constantly guarded, in consequence of threats which have reached the authorities that dynamite will bo used to blow it up. October 27.

The Anarchist prisoners are again under examination, but with the greatest obstinacy persist in their refusal to answer a single question put to them. The streets continue to be deserted after dark. Some theatres are closed. The cavalry patrol. It is stated if further explosions occur the city will be placed under martial law. Threatening letters are abounding. The Archbishop and the Director of the Post Office have received such missives. The persons of both are carefully guarded. Last Sunday evening the police seized forty kilogrammes of dynamite.

SBEVIA. A woman, widow of Colonel Jeffrew Markorioch, fired twice at Kins' Milan in the Cathedral of Belgrade on October 23rd. Her husband, with several others were executed May, 1878, by order of the King, but the recent attempt is said to be more attributable to political motives than revenge. After the shot was fired. Queen Natalie, who was with the King, fainted, and was carried to the Palace in an unconscious condition. The King accompanied her, but soon aftei’wards returned to the church unattended and unarmed, and remained until the service was at an end. The bystanders attempted to lynch the prisoner, beating her until the Minister of War interfered. The bullet from her pistol wounded a female spectator. On the 25th the King and Queen again attended divine service, and the city was illuminated at night. It is said that the object of the King’s prolonged sojourn in Eoumania was to defeat a conspiracy against Ms life. He had, while journeying from Euschuk, received information at Sistova of a plot formed to blow up with torpedoes the Eoyal boat while on the Danube between Euschuk and Belgrade. The Cabinet resigned because they thought the King disapproved their movement for the punishment cf the persons engaged in this plot, but at the solicitation of the King himself they agreed to remain in office for the present. EUSSIA. The fires in the timber yards along the river banks near St. Petersburg were extinguished on the 23rd of October, with a loss of 200,000 roubles. The property was insured for one half the amount in Prussian and English companies. Incendiary fires broke out in seven different parts of Paulausk, and the whole place was threatened with destruction. 'The Eussian Government has issued an order forbidding the exportation of horses. It is supposed that this is aimed at Germany, as the cavalry mounts of the latter country are generally procured from Eussia.
