London, November 9.—The scheme 1 lately submitted and adopted by the ' Executive Committee of the National ' Agricultural Labourers' Union by a deputation from Mississippi for the emigration of five millions of farm labourers to the United States, is caus ing a great stir among the farmers throughout; the country. The immense idraft of labour proposed to be made on the country, will, it is said, be strongly opposed by farmers here. The Labour ii <ers' Union has already enrolled a large number of men for the United States, and there is every probability that the project will be carried out successfully. The continued increase of English emigration is attracting the attention of Government circles. During the present year more English than Irish have emi grated from Great Britain, i Advices from the East state that the drought is increasing in Samaria, and it is almost impossible to prevent the ravages of a terrible famine. In the Reichstag, to-day, the army budget and other financial measures in the Emperor's speech were referred to appropriate committees.

ADDITIONAL NEWS.

London, November 9.—A grand ban quet was given afc the Lord Mayor's residence this evening in, consideration of the day. A large number of in vited guests, including members of various foreign legations and other j distinguished foreigners were present to participate in the festivities of the occasion. Among the English Cabinet Ministers who accepted invitations were Mr Disraeli, the Earl of Malmes bury, Earl of Derby, Earl of Carnarvon, Marquis of Salisbury, Mr Gathorne and Mr Ward Hunt. Speeches were made by several Cabinet Ministers, in which especial reference was made to the im partial administration of the affairs of state by Disraeli since his succession, to the Premiership. In reply to the toast, he thanked the members of the Cabi net for the support-rendered him and for their complimentary reference to his labors during the last session of Parlia ment. Befering to Mr Gladstone's "anti-Papal minifesto, he said if the

troubles anticipated by Mr Gladstone should occur the Conservative party oi England would vindicate tho principles of religious liberty and truth. .Re ferring to the recent outcry for a separation of the colonies, Mr bisraeli distinctly declared himself in favor of maintaining the integrity of the Em pire. Be said that of this policy the annexation of the Fiji Islands was proof. The Government was resolved to consolidate the Empire and establish an identity of interests and sympathy with the colonies. The Go vernment believed in the maintenance of peace, for which all the great powers were anxious. Austria, Germany, and Prussia have presented a request to the Porte for permission to conclude a commercial treaty directly with liouraania. The Porfce refuses, basing his right to do so on the Treaty of Paris. Prince Jerome Napoleon has issued a political programme, in the form of a letter, condemning the reactionary and clerical policy of the Imperial party. Berlin,.{November 9.—lt is said that evidence is accumulating that Count Yon Arnim has for some time back been setting Court circles against Bismarck, and that the Count seriously entertained the idea of shortly occupy ing a leading position in the Imperial Government. The steamer Mary foundered on the voyage from Gksgow to Trinadad. Ten : persons went down with the ship.

The Nes states that the project of a marriage between Princess Thira*, of Penmark, and the Crown Prince of Hanover has been abandoned. The judge entrusted with the duty of collecting the papers of "Yon Arnim has gone to Paris to take the testimony of Prince Hohenlohe, German Ambas sador to Paris. Yon Arnim's trial will begin early in December. Bismai"ok will be the principal witness. The Pope, replying to an address by the Bishop of Verdun, said ho ti-embled at the dangers which menanced France. A dispatch from the English Impe rial Colonial Minister to a Canadian official, says it has been decided that certificates of naturalization granted in the United Kingdom do not confer on an alien any right or privilege in Bri tish Colonies. The Herald editorially, referring to the insurrection in the Argentine Re public, says that unless some decided change occurs, the downfall of the Argentine Government is only a ques tion of time. The wholesale desertion of its troops is rapidly reducing its military strength. It appears too weak to offer battle to the rebels under General Mitre, yet every moment of inaction gives the latter advantage. Calcutta, October 25 th. — Nana Sahib has been surrendered into the hands of the British officers by the Maharajah of of Scinda. It is under stood that a letter from Nana to the Mahaiujah, asking for protection, gave the first intimation of the whereabouts of the chief, and led to his capture. In a confession the prisoner stated that he was the famous .Nana Sahib, and intimated that he took part in the mutiny, but denied having anything to do with the Cawnpore massacre. He gave interesting accounts of his subse quent wanderings. After making this confession, he sought to with draw it. Physicians have examined him, and express doubts as to his identity because his appearance is too youthful j and a surgeon who was in Cawnpore at the time of the revolt, and often saw Nana Sahib, failed to recognise the prisoner as the man. Other witnesses have been &uinmoned. The Maharajah of Scinda at first sought to have it stipulated that the man's life should be saved, but he afterwards sur rendered him unconditionally to the British, who put him in irons. A brother of Nairn Sahib has also been captured. It is learned from well informed sources that the Earl of Derby has counselled the Dutch Government to abandon the A Chinese war. The Emperor lias promulgated a royal decree conferring on the Pro vinces of Alsace and Lorraine the right to elect a Provincial Assembly. The Assembly is to have the privilege of holding private sittings. The Prince of Montenegra recently sent a dispatch to the Russian Am bassidor at Constantinople, asking for an investigation into the recent con flicts beeween Russians and Turks, as an international matter. The Am bassidor replied that justice should be done, and the diplomatic body would confine itself at present to watching the course of events. The son of the late M. Laird, M.P., has positively refused to become a can didate for Parliament, and Mr Maclver is the accepted Conservative candidate. , Cuban despatches from all parts of the Island visited by Gen. Concha re port his enthusiastic reception by all classes of the inhabitants. A report of the probably speedy termination of the rebellion has caused "a feeling of more security among the planters. A little girl in Paris, who was play ing with a toy balloon, drew in her breath while inflating it, and the col lapsed balloon went down her throat and choked her to breath. j

The Spanish Ambassador in London recently made representations to Lord Derby, Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the supplies of arms and other materials of war manufactured in England were frequently shipped for the Carlists in Spain, and requested shat vigilance be taken by our authorities to prevent such violations of neutrality. To this Lord Derby sharply replied that the indefinite continuance of the Avar in Spain shows great lack of vigor and en ergy, and if she" Spanish navy was vigi lant the landing of arms for the Carlists would be impossible. Cuban delegates have arrived at Gar list head-quarters, authorised by the Madrid Government to propose a gen eral release of prisoners of both sides, with the purpose of sending them to Cuba to quell the insurrection there. Don Carlos is willing to release Repub lican prisoners on these terms, but refuses to agree that Carlist volunteers now prisoners shall embark for Cuba, unless upon their own consent. He cannot sanction their compulsory trans portatioo to a distant and unhealthy country.

CRITICAL CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.

A Paris telegram to the London Times of the I3th says : "It is undeni able that things are not pleasant in Europe just now, and whatever calm there may be on the surface there is an under-current of anxiety as to eventu alities which some believe are not very remote. The assurances of the Great Powers- as to the prospects of Jong, enduring peace have not sufficed to dispel uneasiness, which has for its cause the alleged determination of Germany to harass and humiliate France, to keep alive in her breast the • sting of defeat, and use toward her at every opportunity a sort of petty pres sure which may serve to remind her that she has met her master, and that it behoves her to be modest in her J attitude, and submissive in her tone. This charge is brought by the French against their late conquerers, but the latter, on the other hand, repudiate the vexatious intention imputed to them, and still more strongly deny the possi bility of a fresh conflict."

THE FAMINE IN ASIA MINOR. STARVING BY THOUSANDS.

In Asia Minor, over an ai'ea cf coun try almost as large as the State of New- York, people are dying of starvation and of the diseases which result from lack of nourishing food, and it is stated that as many as 150,000 have died. Every day adds new victims, while emaciated, staggering men, women, and. children pour into adjacent cities and towns begging for bread, and this in a region once formerly a garden in all its fruitfulness. In 1873, the drought cut off the crops, and the stores on hand were exhausted during the succeeding winter. All eyes were turned to ward the summer and the har vest of 1874, but this, too, failed, less from lack of rain thau lack of seed to sow, cattle to work the fields, and the want of health on the part of the famished people. Mr. Farns worth, an American missionary, who has recently made an extensive tour in the region, estimates that less than one quarter of the usual area has been sown, and that this year's harvest will bring scarcely any relief. The writer draws the following sad picture of the situation : In one village, out of more than I,GOO sheep and goabs just one sheep and one goat remain, and of 100 cows two re main. In another, from a flock of 1,200 sheep and goats eight are reported; and from another flock in the same village/ numbering 800, of which 700 were Mohair goats, eight are reported. The poor have sold everything they had, even to the timbers of their houses and the garments that covered them, to buy bread at the exorbitant price at which alone it can be obtained. Almost the whole population is demoralised, and the regular pursuits ot industry are disturbed and broken up, and, failing to find honest employment, men resort to violence and brigandage on the high ways. There are also thousands of suffering people amongst us who are dying of destitution. Large sections at the West have been devastated by thegrasshopper plague.

EXTRAORDINARY FIRE IN A MINE.

By theCyphreneswe have intelligence of an extraordinary fire which has occurred in the air shaft of the Belcher mine, Virginia County, California. It started at the 8.50 i'eefc level, but whether it was the result of careless ness on the part of a miner leaving a candle burning on timber, or was the work of an incendiary bo depreciate stock, and so influence an election proceeding, is still a question. The scene was heartrending : thousands of spectators, including women and child ren, relatives of the thousand men employed in the various mines connec ted with the shaft, were around the mouth of the shaft from which issued flames and rocks and burning timbers to the height of several hundred feet. Luckily but a few men were work ing in the shaft at the time, and these had a narrow escape. Those injured were working at the 1000 ---feet level, and while endeavouring to erect a bulkhead to prevent the fire spreading, a " cave in" occurred in the air shaft, driving back the flames, which, like a sheet of flame, literally " licked" the clothing off the men, and in

an instant, until the flames resumed their upward torrent, inflicted injuries that in several cases will prove fatal. One volunteer who had gone below to assist, while rushing from the flames, fell down v winze and was killed, whilo ten, also volunteers, were so burned that the lives of several are despaired of. The bravest and most unremitting efforts were made by those connected with tho various mines in the district j and after burning with torrible fierce ness for about six hours, the fire was subdued. The shaft is entirely de stroyed, and the total loss resulting is estimated at fifty thousand dollars.

At the District Court, the case of Patrick Donnelly v Mr Brassey, solicitor, is pro ceeding. It is an action for damages, plaintiff alleging that he paid Mr Brassey £30 as agent for Mr MacCormick, solicitsr, of Auckland to retain him in the case Donnelly v. Donnelly, which Mr Brassey had neg lected to do, thus causing the loss of the case to the plaintiff. Mr Brassoy was ex amined. He denied that it was as agent for Mr MacCormick he was paid. It was as solicitor for Donnelly, and the money was paid to carry out the case. Mr McCormick was also examined, and deniei that Mr Brassey was his agent, or that he, Mr McCormick, was attorney for Donnelly. He told Donnelly distinctly tbac it was very unlikely that he could come to the Thames to conduct the case for him. The Court now adjourned for lunch. The case was ultimately dismissed with costs.

DEPUTATIO-N TO THE GOVERNOR. This afternoon a deputation consisting of Captain Daldy, Mr. Firth, and Mr. Swan son, introduced by his Worship the Mayor, waited on his Excellency the Governor at Government House, and presented the petition signed by almost all the members of the General Assembly praying that the Native Lands Court should not be removed to Wellington. The petition bore the names of sucn members of the House of Represen tatives and of the Legislative Council as , represent Auckland and were not prevented by absence from signing. The petition was read by Mr Firth, who very ably and effectively Btated the case of the petitioners in the most convincing manner. His Excellency in reply said that the shortness of the time . since his arrival had precluded him from ; making himself familiar with this and other ' questions. However, he had been given to understand that the idea of removing the Court has been abandoned. He would be most happy to lay the petition before his responsible advisers together with, the argu | menta which has been so ably adduced. ! - : 'qompulsoey sale AT THE CITY HALL,,, (LAZX A, LIXA BU B V AX D CO.
