WAR NOTES.

WJiat Might Have Been,

THE special correspondent of the " Tele eraph is lhanhi! that our battles and casuaUtie.i in JSgypt were few. "Had they" he say?, "not been so, the men would have perished like rotten sheep for want of necessaries. Will it be believed that at Ismailia—at the base 1-a Life- Guardsman's arm had to be removed at the shoulder without chloroform because there •was none forthcoming? Where was it? At the bottom of some vessel's hold, under a hundred doxe3 of something or other •' buried out of sight "—not to be found. Aa with chloroform so with most other medical stor«s. They were there, no doubt, somewhere—but no ono could put a hand on them, so they might as well have been at Timbactoo. As with chlo roform, so with medicines. In the land hospital of Ismailia a medical gentleman went round. "Arc yon better?" he said to one. "Yes.^ "Then write 'better' over his dealh-bed. The next said he was worse, suffering from a bullet wound, and to him was adminis tered a pill out of a box carried by an orderly. The next one was suffering from dysentery, and to him was also given a pill taken from the same box. This is vouched for by an officer of the Guards who witnessed the scene. When the Guards were ordered to Bl Matauta—the first stage from Tsmailia-they fully ex pected to fight that very night or next morning, when even bidden to down in battle array in case of a] sudden surprise, A fight at Mahuta meant death and wounds. What preparations were made to cope with the latter ? Absolutely none I Bach man carries a bandage or two which he did not Know how to use, and that is all [that was done_ in way of preparation. Just think, anxious friends at home, of the Jco-dition oi your cherished Household Brigade under a burning son if they had really been called rapon to co inte action on that day I At Tel-el- Kebir there was a grand parade of picking np wounded Arabs and attending to their wants. On the day after the battle they still lay where they had been, placed, in a big tent, their wpunds untouched, all clamouring for a drop of water. In toe great camp at Kassasin the medical de partment was no less, outrageously mis managed. An officer in the Guards came over to our Indian camp on the left bank of the canal to beg for some castor-oil. There was not a drop of it ih the whole of the British camp. One of the Indian medi cal officers went over there, and returned ia amazement. The Indians have been bo habituated to war that their arrange ments are complete in matters of detail. " Good heavens 1" that Indian officer re> marked to me over a post-prandial pipe, "in case of a really severe series of engage ments, the condition of the English wounded would have been no better than that at Waterloo, where the men lay un. succoured for more than a week. And what if an epidemic had broken ont— a most probable contingency where food was scarce and water fetid, the sun overpower ing a host of unwashed mortality penned np'together, and medicines ail carefully stowed away at the bottom of some trans port on the bosom of Lake Timsah I It is an awf nl subject for contemplation, and we can only thank God that the half-haearted ness of the Arab 3 made our task so easy. The Charge of the Highlanders— "Bayonets Only!"

Now came the tug of war. The High landers on the left and the Irish Brigade en the riCTht, both rushed manfully at a blind position, obedient to the very remarkable order not to fire, or even to load, but to take the works at the point of the bayonet. Generals and officers must have had wonder ful confidence in their men to give and perpetuate such an order. But that confi dence :was certainly} not belied. In cold blood,"at two hundred yards' distance, and era heavy musketry and artillery fire, our gallant troops fixed their bayonets, theD, with soul-stirring cheers that rent the ► air, swept on to meet tbe enemy, whose Oriental shrieks and confused chattering made but feeble response. Soon the ditches were filled by our mem, who helped each other np the embankments and hurled themselves upon the expectant bnt unequal Egyptians, many of whom yet fought hard, Hiving thrust for thrust, and dying where they stood. The Highlanders, especially the 74th, knew well how to negotiate the slippery earth-works, clambering over them io lot haste to get on first terms with their swarthy foe, Generals Alison and Grahame being close ai hand with their respective fcrigadea as the strife proceeded. And there-amid the storm of war, as cool as though it were only " the breeze that shakes the barley "—stocd the portly pipe-majors pouring out their martial strains as the laddies plied their arms in true Highland fashion. Inch by inch the stubborn ' Nubians and white-frocked Egyptians were driven back over the whole breastwork, and, after a brief space, another tumnl tuous cheer denoted that the first - Hue of works was ours, the gory heap 3in tbe inner trenches showing how keen must have been the struggle for mastery. Heavy and sad, however, was the los 3we had suffered, as the casualty list will show. There, in the bloody trenches, lay heaps of dead and wounded, our own men mingling freely with the enemy, the dead lying so placidly and peacefully, not caring whether succour came; the wounded anxious and agonised, bntbeaminw with delight when the victori ous British cheers, wafted back on the morning breezes, told a tale easy to under stand. In one place, where the trenches were deep, with a flanking redoubt, a - ■■■young Highland oflicer was sleeping his last sleep, with his arms stretched out over the ditch and face to the enemy. Two yards behind lay the bodies of three sralwart Highlanders, who had apparently been oat paced by their young leader, bnt were racing hard to shield him from danger. All three lay dead, with arms and heads forward, as though their very spirits .had sprung forward in this discharge of loyal and manly duty. The sequel to the scene was telling to a degree j on the other Bide of the earthwork lay a mangled heap of dead Egyptians, who bad paid a dear penalty for bringing to earth the young Scottish lajrd. Appearance of the Dead, Th« incidents jfcold by the attitudes of men slaiu in the fight were painful, of course, bnt absorbingly dramatic, li the spot I saw a Biighlander who had abso lutely run his bayonet through two foj jmeD, and had himself at the same instant re ceived Mb own quietus from a bullet in the forehead. Near him was a drummer-boy/ an urchin of twelve, who had plunged his dirk through an Arab's heart, and had re raved a bayonet in his own bosom, Jt '' was, apparent that the Highlanders had not fired at all, but bad escaladed the earthwork aod caught the enemy with cold ' iron just as he attempted to make good . his escape on the other side of the trench ; the havoc was fearful, the contortions of pain horrid to look upon; the ferocious expression of face", both Oriental and European, akin to that of demons. Arabi's Tents. In surveying Arabi's camp, the tents of the chiefs were eagerly sought after, and very beautiful come of them were with costly household BtufF, scattered in pro fusion. There was one exceedingly lofly tent, the front completely open, raised on ' immense poles of exquisitely carved bam- Thjysside-of-tbis desert-dwelling wan ofma^wSnted with rude figures, flowers, and birds, effectively coloured, cut oat of va riously hned sturf?, sewn on a white ground, Arabi's tents, of course, drew much atten tion, There were two; one lined with crimson damask silk, the other embroi dered with forget-me-nots, pomegranates, and other fruits, in a manner which would put some of our fine art needle work associations to the blush. If one bad only been in a wagon instead of on a terri fied horse, what a collection of treasures might have been made. Sach beautiful silk cushions there were, and mats —• trophies that would have won for us the emtles of British beauty. But as wa-the Indians were ordered off forthwith to occupy Zagazig, there was nothing for it bvt to groan and pass onward. Capturing a Train at Zaguixlg. ■ Did I tell you how the first train was cap» tnred upon our arrival at Zagazig after the celebrated march 2 I think not, and it is worth recording. Colonel Macnaughtor, of the 13th Bengal Lancers., who was with us perceived along tarin reridy to steam out-ot the station, and, poor.' as we compara tively were, in rolling; stock, even after capturing the laij^e number that lay at Tel-el-KeUiiy he resolved at all hazards to takeit. This idea, of a man on hoisaback pitting himself against a locomotive I Up to it he, however, rode, accompanied by his orderly, and commanded the driver to stop Ibis engine. The reply was a bullet from a Ife^ &st-cias» carnage window, which killed Wj| ihe unlucky orderly, 'J he engine steamed

contemptuously away, leaviDg the colonel nonplussed. But here the luck stepped in which has so conspicuously followed us. Lo ! » train of stray camels appeared cross ing the line. The leader ran amuck against 1 the locomotive, was tumbled over by the cowcatcher, and was speedily .jednced to a dead lump of bones and flesh which, squeezed between iron and parth, com pletely stopped all progress, the eugine going slowly at the time. It came to a dead standstill—the hero of the bullet was dragged out of the carriage, the driver was cast shrieking from his place, and the booty was fairly won.

Scenes at Cairo.—Gratitude of

jtescuetl Europeans,

Speaking of the Europeans found in Cairo, a special writes: "A feeling of ( intense relief and thankfulness was de picted on all faces. An aged Italian gen tleman clasped my hand in passing, mur mured " Viva l'lnghilteira " with quivering lip, and went his ivay. How these people must have suffered I A venturesome German woman ol energetic disposition actually'opened her doors, put;out a few round tables spread with bottles, and soon a gabbling throng was sitting round recounting", adventures—thankiDg God that danger was over, shaking mugs at passing warriors. Viva l'lnghil terra !" " You are glad we are here ?" I asked one of them. "Glad? Himmol, I should think so. See, my revolver is always at my side; I sleep with it by my hand. Two nights ago we sat up till dawn, expecting a scene like that of Alexandria, but God in mercy averted it. For two months nearly we have not dared to go out, except by stealth, lo buy provisions. No news, no letter?, no papers but Arabi's, and those full of sham telegrams speaking of British defeats. ' These accursed Chris tians are mad,'one ran, 'and will be de livered into our hands to be flayed. They have disembarked at Ismalia forty thousand dogs. Is it not evident that Gad ha 3 made them mad, just as he killed their Admiral Seymour and their General Wolseley?'" "But you did not believe such nonsense ?" I inquired. " Ab, my good sir, when one is in a reign of terror, with no intelligence from without, who may say what we will believe ? We were 400 Europeans here, hated by the Arabs with a fierce vindictive hate—lso Italians, 60 Germans, and so on-and a society was got up among us to provide food to keep our souls within ns." " Whom were yon so afraid of?" "Of whom? Of all the cut-throats, who are now so full of civility and politeness; of this lumbering lout, who is at this instant cleaning yonr boots—of that carriage driver and that donkey-boy who are clamouring now for yonr patronage. Ah 1 yon don't know these people. They cringe and grovel under an iron liand, but are capame of any wickeness if they've the chance. The man you've benefitted—whose life you've saved —whose son yon took up, and whose daughter you nave befriended—will hand you over to his mates without a pang that you may be murdered if the occasion offers. Don't think I exaggerate. J hey are base at heart and ntterl) bad—all of them." Anecdote of Arabi. One little anecdote I must tell —an authentic story, and characteristic ef the Arab intellect. Whatever Arabi's private views may be, be is ob liged to cultivate a proper respect for the wishes and opinions of 'fakirs and holy men. Now, there 'is a parti cularly holy man who abides some where in a remote tent—a Bedoniu ot unexampled sancity. When Arabi con structed the bigdam across the canal at Tel el-Kebir, which was to complete the won derful Arabian Plevna—guaranteed to stand six months' siege at least —it was con sidered absolutely necessary to obtain tb.6 approval of the saint. As Balak did with Balaam, so did Arabi with the holy sage. He conducted him everywhere; showed him .the Christian, and badehlra curse him; led him over his works, displayed his army, aud demanded a blessing on his arms. When they came to the wonderful dam. the saint frowned ominously, and cried, "What, my son, is this I" "Holy father," replied the rebel chieftain, " this is to cut off all the water supply from the odious enemy." "This may not be," retorted the Eecluse, sternly, " know that the hateful Christian, though lamentably benighted and besotted, and grievonsljSarrogantJto boot, is,| after all, an erring child ot Allah. Water is given for all creatures. He has a right to water like the rest. Opon a way, that at least some of the precious stream may moisten hisparched throat." And actually we found, on arrival at Tel-el-Kebir, that, reluctantly enough, no doubt, Atabi had obsyed the sage's mandate. Through the centre of the dam an opening had been made, about six feet wide, by way of which the muddy stream was percolating slowly. Our water became poor enough and foul enough, but thanks to theSyid, it was never completely cut off. * |

Storming of Tel-el-Kebir.

Interesting Incidents of the Fight

When I last wrote, only the telegraphed accounts of the fight at Tel-El-Kibir had come to had. These have now been supple mented by a voluminous mass of correspon dents' letter from which I cull the follow ing :—Electric historians will have told you how Sir Garnet Wolseley made the mid« night his ally, and, under cover of " Egyptian darkness," led his forces within rushing distance of Arabi's stronghold, taking Tel-01-Kebir in fifteen minutes by the clock. I was with Macpherson's Highlanders and the Indians, and will tell yon what was done and seen on that event ful morning in oar part of the field. It had been an anxious and a wakeful night. Orders arrived Buddenly that our tents on the plains of Kassassin were to be struck at dusk, which foreboded another night march, and no march could take place, situated as we were, but one towards Tel-el-Kebir hard by. It was nearly four when we at length rode off—General Macpherson and a staff of a dozen or so, with a mule battery ot field guns in our front, a squadron of .Bengal Cavalry, the Seaforth Highlanders, and a detachment of Belooshes. About five firing began on tbe extreme right, spreading soon along the whole line, and about half an hoar later our General's presence was detected, and shells began to fall thickly round us. I am not pretending to give a full and elaborate account of the battle of Tel-el-Kebir, but merely a recital of what the Indian column did, being that which passed under my own eye. As I was saying, shells fell thickly round, but the General calmly turveyed what was proceeding on our right through a telescope, until one of them, better directed then the rest1, fell straight in the middle of the staff, and burst, oddly enough killing nobody. The concussion threw four ot the number out of their saddles, and the horses careered wildly away into tpace, which was a serious trouble to early in the day ; but, rather than be left behind, we ran after our chief as quickly as we could, trusting to luck by and by to apppropriate some one else's stray steed. The gallant Seaforths took the lead, under Colenel Stockwell, the General superintending them in person, while the Cavalry moved off among the high green corn, to cut off stragglers if any there might be. Advancing briskly along, we were shortly aware of a shower of bul lets, which, being badly aimed, either fell short or whistled overhead, and toon after caw a body of the enemy peering out of holes in the e&rtb. These we quickly dis lodged, and we again advanced, to find some field guns spread across the bank, with a well-built battery behind, neatly made of stones and mounted with four seven pounders-a serious obstacle this, if well defended. The Seaforths immediately lay down to fire, and. our mule battery was soon in its place behind to support them, but General Macpherson refused to allow this, tbe usual plan, to be adopted. "Kun forward, men," he cried, "turn them out with a rush." A rlngirjg cheer, and the regiment dashed at the guns, took all four, and made for the battery beyond. Lieutenant Mur doeli w&s the first in, tunning alone. So sudden was jibe movement, that the gunners stood fairly sgbsst at his audacity, and tumbled with the rammers and sponges for' a moment, and then gave the signal for a general same gui pent. Among the firs' 866 of g«ns were many dead and dying, which snowed tint the filing of the High landers was vastly different from that of tbe /eyptiana. As for the former, they had but one killed, another was wouodoJ in the arm, b«t not sufficiently badly to oblige him to fall out, while a third, named Hicks, had a very narrow eseapa, a bullet striking him in the centre of the Cabul pedal which was dangling on his breast. Oddly enough, we saw nothing all this while and heard little of the main body on the right, and w.fero'under the impression that we were abreast of everybody until we

reached Tel-el-Kebir. The taking of this advanced b»tt«ry caused great excitement and much cheering from th« soldiers, while, as for the doolie-boarers and camp-followers they made such a chattering that we seemed to have Babel following in the rear By this time we had taken eight Krupp guns besides the four seven-pounders, but much remained still to do.

We found the villages and farm houses all deserted except one, in which there dwelt an aged man who gravely came for watd with an impromptu flag of trace, manufactured oat of a sblrr,' and offered v* water and bread. All empty-every one ; not a soul to be seen bnt the patriarch. Yes; look lin the distance, to our right front, appears a moving mass — men in myriads! Were they actually coming forth to attack us in the open ? All field glasses were levelled at them. Wbat a surprise ! Far from advancing to meet us these thousands ot uniforms were scurrying away across the fields as fa3t as theic legs could carry them. It was, beyond doubt, the flower of Arabi's army taking flight to early in the day. Now at last we all koew that the main body must have been attacking simultaneously with ouraelves. The lett-hand batteries and villages were already ours, the works on the centre and light must be taken too, and yet by the watch it was no later than seven I there was no mistake about it; the awful stronghold of Tel-el Kebir had fallen like a pack of c irds. The war was practically over.

THE GLOVE.

Sik,—ln last Saturday's "Supplement" of your paper appears a translation of Schiller's " Uer Handichuh," by a c Tres pondent under the initials of " W.E." The translation is doubtless very accurate, but it rhymes very harshly in the English language; and such phrases as "beast fight," " presiom cats," and other*, grate rather comically on the English ear. la German translations it is generally better to adapt the meaning than to follow the words accurately, and ia illustration there of, I append an ada, fcition of the oilginal'by David Wedder, taken from a bonk of his poems in my possession, dated 1848 :■ • High o'er tho wide arena, In golden chair of state, Beneath a gorgeous canopy King Franois took his seat— His nobles stood around him In burnished mall bedlght, And peerless dames, all o'er the se«Me, Shed loveliness and light. Tho trumpet* ceased their clangour, The troubadours their song; A reverential silence Pervades the glittering throng. Anon 1 his jewelled sceptre The potentate upreared: A gaunt Numidi&n lion Wiehin the lists appeared 1 With eyes o£ lurid lightning The monster glared around, And fitful thunder muttering, He pawed the battle ground. The emblem of his power Tho monarch raised again; And two ferocious leopards Sprang from their grated dea 1 And goaded on to madness By famine and by thrall, In rushed a tawny tiger— The fiercest of them all! With tail in violent motion. He scourged his brindlod hide, While foam flew from his nostrils, And blood gushed from his side— His grisly spino. the savage Bent like a yeoman's bow; Thon, with a yell terrific, He darted on his toe! In robes of silk, bespangled With jewels rich and rare— The haughtiest of tho haughty, The fairest of the fair- Sat Lady Adelgltha, Who seemed to evory eyo A denizen celestial, Descended from on high I From off her ivory fingers Her broidered glove she drew. And, 'midst tho savage combatants The fatal trifle threw. Then turning to a princely group, Ia armour gleaming bright, She beckoned to Sir Leontino, Her own devoted knight— 1 " Sir Knight, you've sworn you lova mo, A thousand times and more; So, if I may bolievo you, • My valued glove restore I" He doff'd hia helm and hauberk, Ijeap't where the monsters strove; And from between the tiger's paws Ho snatch'd the Lady's glove! And with profound obeisance, He laid it at her feet: "Lady! the spell is broken ! Again we may not meot— Tho cord Is snapped asunder— We must for ever part; Thy face is fair—thy form divine— Thou lack'st a woman's heart."

Does not the above adaptation, while carefully following the sedtitneut and the meaning of the poem, sound much plea santer, and also more soul-stirring, than the literal translation of " VV.E ?" I think it docs, Alfred Sharp*.

Beecher's Withdrawal from the Congregational Association.

BIS KfASOSS JOS THK STBP.

Niw York, October 10th.—Tbe annual meeting of the New York and Brooklyn Association ot Congregational Churches opened in Brooklyn to-day. Key. Mr Beecher, whihadbsen assigned to open the discussion on the subject of " Spiritual Bar barism,1' madeittheoccasion for announcing his withdrawal from the membership of the Association, He delivered a leogthy and elaborate exposition of his views respecting the doctrines of tbe Bible and Chiistianity, He assigned a* a reason for withdrawing from the Association that, as a Christian gentleman, he could not afford to lay on anybody the responsibility of his views. He could not afford, especially, to put the Association ia such a position that they were obliged to d>f«rA J»'-r'-. v^ 'V'fll"-. in greatest love »'? st'B "» "g«d to the his membership and Bibat he dragged his be Bevered from them, tfalnbleau barrier nearer them. WHAT HE CANNOT BKUKVB??.^ Beecher explained the loose represent* tion and misiepresentation in respect of what he believed and taught. He held that the view which had been presented by tho pagan Greek barbarians—one-of the most barbaric—that is, the infantile, igno rant conceptions of the impassibility of God, a conception that tho perfection of character n quired that the bring should not be susceptible to pain of any kind, of sorrow or suffering. The divioe heroea must stand in the power of God to suffer, and it is the very root and force of tbe atoning lie and death of Jesus Chiist. Bight over on the other sida was another element springing from a barbaric notion, and not from ai- aesthetic, namely, that God is clothed with human pa=ston9. Terms of that kind were not wanting in the Old Testament, but men had constructed their rouccption of God from the example of their animal inclinations and appetites, not from the example of their reas n and their moral sense. We had batbarous conceptions, and that was spiritual barbarism. The whole view of God which was laid down in the Confession of Faith of tbe Wesimintter school, in relation to the decrees and in re lation to the whole process and opera! ion of divine grace " Mr Beecher held that view of the character of God to stand ovor against the representation of God as made by-the Lord Jesus Christ m a frightful Gorgon stood over against the head of nn Apol'o jn the heathen mythology. He held it to be a monster, instead'pf a loving Master and a Master of Love. HE HEJICIS OTHER THING. Then the doctrine of man's moral and physical inability to obey the laws of God he rejecled. He also i ejected the repre ientations of future punLhment, which were gross and physical; that were made from the sensuous Komin school. He believed in future punishment, He believed that the wholesome and restraining influence of that doctrine had been very largely des troyed by substituting a slaughter-house notion, a gross, carnal, corrupting and dia bolical representation of hell and the suffer ings of th?se who were subjected to them. The suffetiug would be not bodily, as he held, but mental, according to the laws of moral sensibility and all tbe affections—not a machine of sulphur and fire; a deluge of devils and all manner of annoyance epito mised and represented in the art pf Aogelo's "Last Judgment," and represented more abominably and inexcusably by Cornelius and the German sqhbgl. That was bar baric. He regards also the whole doctrino of original sin as found in the fall of Adam as being barbaric. 1 bat was the conception of men that were es yet ignorant, unedu cated on this subject It was not used a single time in the whole scope ot instruc tions of all the iigea in the Old Testament. You can loon through a 1 the teachings of the four gnspels aud not find a single passage that, except oy wide inference and misconstruction, cj.n be applied to it. you can find it only in the Bauline wtitings He accepted without analysis the Trinity. Any attempt to divide the functions was inutiid. He "believed in a Providence who overruled human ljfe by and through natural laws. Christ wn> infinite within finite limits, and in taking his place as a man he became subject to tbe Jaws of time, space and matter. He believed fully, en., tbusisstically, without a break or a singlel Hoe of tremulous aberration, in the divinity of Christ, Christ was God manifest io tho eah.

Auckland Anglo-Israel As sociation.

At the annual meeting of the Auckland branch of the Anglo-larael Association, the following report was adopted :—The Com mittee of the Auckland Anglo-Israel Asso elation,in making their first annual report, have much pleasure in announcing that there appears to be a growing interest in this patt of the colony, in the subject of the Identification ot the British and American nations with tho liOßt Tribos of Israel. The Auckland " Herald," in alluding to the public meeting held twelve months ago, when the Auckland Anglo-Israel Associa tion was formed, sneeringly remarked that " There h*s been auch a lot of this Anglo- Israel bmines, such a deluge of stuff and nonsense in the pnpers, that to find at the late meeting to form an association there were ooly six bowilderoil individuals wil ling to Join, wai rsally delicious." It must be confessed that the result of that meeting did not augur well for the interest taken in Auglo-Israelism ia Auckland, but tho six (by no meuns bewildered) individuals re ferred to by the "Herald," being firmly convinced of tbo truth of the Identity, were not in tho least discouraged at tho paucity of their numbers, knowing that " the trutk is great and will prevail." During the past year the members have in creased from six, the number with which the Association commenced, to thirty-ax subscribing members, and this, considering the very limited means at the committee's disposal, and tho corresponding difficulty in making their views public, may be con sidered as very satisfactory. It must not be inferred that thirty-six represents the total number of individuals in the Auckland district interested ia the grand subject of Ang'O'lsraelisin, for it is well-known to several, if not all of the subscribing members, that thero are very many per ■ons, some convinced, and others who are deeply interested in our movement, but who for tome reason or other have not yet joined the Association. The Committee would point out that it is only by means of lectures, and the circulation of pamphlets, that the views of the Association can be disseminated, and that to obtain the latter, ample means must bo provided; it there fore behoves all those interested in the propagation of our views, not only to be come subscribing members themselves, but also to become missionaries on behalf of the cause, and so endeavour to interest others in the grand subject. During the year the members of the Association have met iort oightly at the house of Mr Thomas Craig, in Graham-stteot, that gentleman having most kindly al'owed the meetings to be held at his residence; these fortnightly meetings have been regularly, if not numerously, at tended. The Committee would point out that tho crashing of the Egyptian rebellion by British troops, the complete isolation of Britain during tho Egyptian Crisis, and the present occupation of .Egypt by British troops, all tend to make thinking men ponder over tho views we advocate when they are brought befoie them, more especi ally when it is teen that all those events have been Ion; looked for by Anglo.lsrae lites as part of the grand Anglo-Israel pro gramme. Fixing dates for future events is much to be deprecated, and when it is done, ranch injury is frequently done to the cause; but at the samo time the leading events of the future are clearly delineated ia tho prophetic books, and thoso wo may adopt without any fear for the result: such for instance as the fact that tho Jews cm not return to Palestine alone, but that they must "go to Israel" prior to the return, and that then tho two nations, Judah and Israel, will become one and return to l'alcs tine together. Also that Turkey is to meet her doom at tho hands of Britain, and it would almost appear as if Turkey were now rushing swiftly to her doom. It is also clear that the Gentile nations of Knrope will, at the time of the restoration, be engaged in a most horrible war, It is also clear that Britain being Israel, will eeoape that fearful calamity. All such facts and arguments as these may fairly be urged as cardinal points in Anglo-Israel teachings. Everybody knows that no mere political writer of the present day would dare to even roughly sketch the probable result of tho Eastern Question, much less would they daro tv state, *s wo do and as we have done, exactly what that result will be, viz., the occupation of Constanti nople and the Holy land by Britain and America, and Jerusalem becoming the metropolis of tha new Israelitish. Anglo- Saxon empire. Tho committee wonld, however, most stroogty impress upon Anglo-Israelites and sympathisers with thorn, that there is no cause for cither national or self-glorification in accepting the truths presented by the Identity. On the contrary, Indeed there is much to be wail over and lament The British and American nations pesumably and osten sibly the most Christian nations on the earth have, as is well-known, no national, and we cannot believe tnu h personal Christianity, both there nations, as nations, "have a form of godliness, bnt deny the power thereof," a sign of tho latter days predicted by the Apostle Paul. The great national prosperity vouchsafed to the Anglo-Saxon races by Abraham's Uod has not been given to them on their own account, but on account of the oath that God sware to Abraham. Hence wo are , 'jf.ld by the prophet Ezekiel that at the w '^' -?iion Israel " shall loathe herself" on DQ . her many national crimes and |j' ilnesses. Uod by the mouth of Eu .4fy±st Ezekiel distinctly declares that >' 'h/i He does for Israel \% not done for : 9 °- ,r unites, bnt " for His own holy name's tL^e," and that Israel at the restoration is to be "ashamed and confounded for all her evil ways." So there is no room whatever left for national glorification, God ia his wonderful me'iiy towards his chosen people sobs "no iniquity in Israel, therefore our na tion is not consumed," bnt every one's com mon sense tells him that gross national and personal sins and wiokedness do exist, and when the time comes for " the eye& of the blind to be opened,'' and the graves in which the nation of Israel has been to long bidden, to be opeced, then the nation will bittterly repent its fearful ungodliness and manifold Bhortoomiogs, and will with one voice and one consent praise tbe Lord God of Israel, "For His mercy endureth for ever."

Gambling at Monte Carlo.

That persons should play at the Monte Carlo tables for their amusement, juat a,% they might pay for a stall at the opora I can understand; but that anyone should pass hours risking money at a game of pure chance, with a percentage against him, under the impression that be is likely to do a good stroke of business, surpasses my understanding. At treute-et-quarantc the profit of the bank is one per cent., at rou lette it is three per cent, on the numbers, .and one-and-hnlf per cent, on the simple chances. JNow, let us suppose that a person with a capital of 1000 napoleons plays for ten days, ten hours per diem, at treute-et quaraute, and that his average stake is ten napoleons. There are oue hundred coups every hour; lie therefore would expose each day 10,000 napoleons to the percentage of the bank j or, in other words, pay the banker 100 napoleons for the privilege of allowing him to play at even chances with him. Supposing, therefore, that his luck were precisely the same as that of the bank, at the end of: the tea days the latter would have absorbed his 1000 napoleons. It would, of course, make no mathematical difference how Jie varied the amount staked each coup ; the ayerogo amount would be the total staked during the day, dlrided by the number of emeps. 1 make out that the profit of one roulette table at Monte Carlo is worth, on a mode rate estimate, £140,160 per annum. The bank's average percentage is two. The game it played for twelve hours each duy, and there are 100 coups each hour. The averaao staked by the players collectively on each coup is probably a good deal more ihan twenty napoleons; but let us call it twenty napoleon*. Thus 24,000 napoleons would be staked each day, giving to tue bank a percentage of 480 napoleons per diem, and a* there are 365 days in the year the amount obtained from players in a year from one roulette table must be 176,200 napoleons, or £140,160. Aa a mat.t'er of fact. I believe that this figure is below an nual gross prqfit, foy 4 great many" more persons stake on the numbers (which give a higher percentage) that ou the simple chanceß, aad the average total of the stakes 'of the players on each coup is more than twenty napoleons.
