The British are occupying Cornul Valley. The Calcutta correspondent of the Times says that this action is justified by the continual raids of the Wiziris.

A battery of artillery, three regiments of the Punjaub Infantry, and two of cavalry, will proceed to Wana in the event of the Ameer continuing to be oppressed by the frontier tribes.

In connection with the capture of sealers at Copper Island, Russia claims jurisdiction within 1000 miles of the Siberian shore.

Professor Arminius Vambery, the Eastern authority, believes that the Russian expeditions in the Pamirs intend to attack India, and it is unlikely that the Afghans and the Chinese realise the impending danger.

Professor Vanibrey describes the situation on the Indian frontier as " the approach of the Muscovite knife to England's throat." The Indian Government is sending 4000 troops to the Black Mountains, in the Indus Valley, to drive out Hassim Ali.

Indian reinforcements are being got ready for the Afghans. It is reported at Merv that the Hazaraa killed 2000 of the Ameer'g troops in the last battle. Cholera has appeared in Lemberg, Upper Styria, Silesia, Lauenberg, Charlottenburg, and Buda-Pesth.

There were 247 deaths at Hamburg on Saturday, chiefly in the suburbs. Many of those attacked die in two hours. Up to the presant, 23 towns in Germany are affected. Ambulance contracts have been arranged in Berlin to carry 1000 patients per day in case of necessity, and great preparations are being made in the hospitals for outbreaks in the capital. Cholera riots broke out at Tonzoba, in Russia. Twenty soldiers were killed before they were suppressed, and 200 rioters were killed and wounded;

A hospital and other buildings were wrecked by the mob, the doctors were murdered, and damage was done generally to the extent of several million roubles.

Cholera has increased in Moscow with the return of the heat.
