At a meeting of the London Chamber of Commerce there was a long and important discussion on trade between England and the Australian colonies. High eulogies were passed upon the latter by several speakers who dwelt upon the magnitude and importance of the colonial trade and the probability of its indefinite increase.

Crowe, an Irish-American who has taken a prominent part in ailvising the use of dynamite for the destruction of British shipping and other property, has arrived at Paris,

Murderous outrages against the Jews in Russia and Germany are still occurring. The house of a Jewish family named Lirinowitz was attacked, and all the ■members of the family, 3 in number, were brutally murdered.

Gladstone, in answer to several petitions that have been sent to him by British sympathisers with the Jews has announced that it is not his intention to take any action on behalf of the Jews at present undergoing severe persecution in Russia and Germany. A plot has been discovered to assassinate King Genrgb of Greece, brother of the Princess of VValej, during his visit to Corfu, one of the lonian Isles, amongst which he has lately been travelling. The chief conspirators and several su.Bpeoted persons have been arrested. Great rejoicings were manifested at Berlin when the news arrived of the downfall of Gambetta and his Government. His hoßtile attitude towards Germany 1870 -71, has caused him to be. regarded as a dangerous enemy to the Empire. During the last ten days,. 120 houses in Ireland have been searched for 1 concealed arms, In Galway alone, twenty arrests of suspects have been made. The Russian military authorities at Erkestan consider there is no immediate danger of hostilities with' the Turcomans at Merv. They therefore have, deoided to reduce the number of troops afr present occupying the fortress of Askhabad, General Garibaldi, who has been in a bad state of health for some time past, is worse. He is now lying at Naples in a critical state, and his medical advisers give no hope of his recovery. A train passing over a bridge on the Midland Railway, neat- Manchester, had a narrow' escape from total destruction. Tho bridge collapsed just after the train had passed over. A few days ago the Austrian Government issued an order forbidding the pu!> lication in tho press of the movements of the troops engaged aguiust Herzegovina. Several papers of Vienna having, however, continued to do so, they were summarily seized and their machinery confiscated, - • With a view of allowing further tiations respecting the 'commerce treaty between England and France it has been agreed to prolong the treaty for'a further .period of two' months. Serious inconvenience, is 'being felt' throughout the suburbs of London owing to all the men connected with the tramways, having struck for;higher wages; c ' "United Ireland," the newspaper which was recently tupproued by the dortrji-

ment, has been transferred to Paris where it will lioncoforth be published. A movement has been recently discovered at Cabul to dethrone the Ameer Abdul Rabmnn and place Ayoub Khan on the throne.
