European and Other Foreign Items.

London, October 1 Clement Markham, U j3, in the Nineteenth Century, decVes that ?i naval expedition will be the only means of effectual exploration in the Antartic, and urges Government to undertake the expedition. The Times referring to the accept ance by China of tho British ulti inatuoi with respect to the Viceroy of S'zechuen, states it i.s unprecedented to degrade the Viceroy by imperial edict, and the celerity of the Chinese] submission has astonished Europe. i Lord Brassey, in the A ineteenth Century, criticises the recent experi ment on the Indian currency, and admits that the closing of the mints is 8"ill on its trial. The Archbishop of Canterbury haa invited the leading church men to confer as to the prin ciples of State relief and voluntary aid to schools with a view to arriving at a common understanding with the other . religious bodies. Cardinal Vaughan is moving in a similar direction, The revenue for the quarter ended September 30, is J28.858.151. Stamps and excise duties have immensely in creased. - The Standard considers that the end of the year will probably see a huge surplus.
