refusal of their tenants in Ireland to pay rent has reached L 12,000.

Strong symptoms of the revival of the Republican feeling are being manifested in Spain. In Madrid great excitement has been caused by the issue of a Repub lican manifesto, calling upon the Spanish people to expel the Royal family, and follow the example of France in establish ing a Republic. At the festival held by the Communists in Paris in celebration of Blanqui, one of their old leaders, serious rioting took place, owing to the intervention of the police. The mob were extremely dis orderly, and the police, who were at tacked, fired upon the crowd, and twenty persons were wounded. Garibaldi, the Italian patriot, has met with an accident. He was driving in his carriage via Madelina to Rome, when the vehicle upset. Garibaldi was thrown out, and was severely bruised, but was not otherwise seriously injured, though some fears are entertained that the shock may prove dangerous. The latest intelligence received from India concerning the condition of Afghan istan is of a satisfactory character. The Ameer is consolidating his authority, and opposition to his rule appears to be sub siding. The Afghans generally are re ported to be quiet. London, Jan. C. Dr Lawson has been arrested on a charge of poisoning his brother’s wife. The proprietor of a school at Wimbledon alleged that accused, who wished to get rid of his brother-in-law in order to obtain certain property which would come . to him in the event of his relative’s < death, administered a poisonous dose of ! aconite. The preliminary investigation took place before the coroner, the result of which was that Lawson was committed for trial Considerable sensation has been caused by the circulation of a report to the effect p that the Imperial tomb at Chiselhurst has « been rifled and the remains of the late Emperor Napoleon stolen. The report, which proved to be unfounded, had its j origin in the fact a warning had been re- ’ ceived from Paris that such an outrage was contemplated. rj The person named Connell and four as- sociates who were arrested a few days J ago on suspicion of being connected with £ ( Captain Moonlight and his hand, by 1 whom outrages have been perpetrated upon the tenantry of the Earl of Cork, have been committed for trial. c

The Wesleyan Conference has adopted a memorial against a proposal which is under consideration for sending a British agent to the Vatican. The Times of this morning has an article upon the state of the finances of New South Wales. The constant scrambl ing for the surplus is looked upon as a most dangerous proceeding, and it is con sidered strange that the Treasurer should be unmindful of the importance of ap plying any surplus which may exist to the reduction of the colonial debt. Carrying out reproductive public works for the benefit of the country is suggested as a most legitimate mode of employing sur plus capital, and any proposal for further loons is strongly objected to. The President of the United States has issued an invitation to the various Ameri can Republics to send representatives to the Conference which meets at Washing ton in NwV'jmber next. The object of the Conference is to discuss several mat ters of importance to America, but prin cipally ;:o take steps to prevent Euro pean interference in the control of the Panama! canal. It is believed that the Sultan is intrigu ing with France in connection with the Tunis and Egyptian affairs. The Times says thiH the relations between France and Engjland are strained, the difficulty being attributed to the misunderstanding in connection with the affairs of Tunis and Egypt. Arabi Bey, the Isationalist leader, has been appointed Egyptian Under-Secretary for War. The Government intended to apply to the Courts for a mandamus to prevent the Corporation of the city of Dublin from carrying out its resolution to grant the freedom of the city to Parnell. France repudiates the annexation of the Island of Raiatea, the possession of which was recently taken in her name. Gambetta proposes to grant autonomy to Tunis.

The appeal which Prince Bismarck re centy made to the Great Powers to define the position occupied by the Pope, has re sulted in a congress being summoned, Bis marck’s declared object being to guarantee the Pope’s independence. News has been received of the death of Eichard Henry Dana, an eminent American literateur, and the author of “ Two Years Before the Mast.”

A Novel Critique. —Mr Hepworth's story with the exclamatory title is noticed in the Literary World in the spirit in which it was named —“ It’s title is 1 ! M ’ rj We will only add that we opened it with j 111, were contented to read it at skipped some § § § which seemed rather stupid, found it marked with and to be without || in recent literature, and are inclined to mark it as a book which be longs in (). It does not easily yield “ ”, and hardly demands more than this . if. We do not mean to cast any <-•' . upon it, but whoever sits down to read it through will have to ■{ his attention to - the task. ” International Exhibition, Christ church. —Those that wish to be repre sented at the International Exhibition to ho held in Christchurch in March next, ] should inform us of their intentions. We ] have been connected with all the Exhi bitions held in the colonies. At the late | Adelaide Exhibition we represented sixty exhibitors, for which we received ten , special gold medals, forty-nine first and j one second sward, three of which were New Zealand firms (D. Strange and J. 1. Martin, Invercargill, and T. Sevan, . Wellington). Our plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact their busines, fix their j exhibits on their space, attend to the fudging of exhibits on their space, and anything necessary while the exhibi tion remains open; at the close pack and send back exhibits or sell them, or duplicates thereof if required, it is very inconvenient for exhibitors to come to the Exhibition to fix their exhi bits, which amounts to an expense, be sides the loss of time which must neces . sarily be expended on them. Then, again, the exhibitors have a benefit, they have no trouble of getting space. They let ns know how much is required, and we set it for them, as we have a large amount granted to us. We fix the ex hibits on a better space than if they ap plied themselves. Our terms are mode rate. We specially caution the public against giving their exhibits to so-called Exhibition agents, who go the rounds of Exhibitions and run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties. On account of our not being able to give exhibitors the exact ■ amounts of our fee, as it ip impossible to do SO until we know the size of exhibit, - they may! rely on it being most reason able. The exhibits should be addressed "■ Albert S. Manders and Co., Christ church Exhibition,” If exhibitors will * kindly send a note stating how much ] space they require, no further trouble will be necsssary.— Albert S.
