TOPICS OF THE DAY.

A Gossip ATaout Thlnss in General,

(By Our Losdojj Correspond .nt),

London, September 20.

What with the unexpected victory of Chinese Gordon, the departure of Lords Northbrook and Wolseley for Egypt, the triumphant progress of tho "grand old man " through Midlothian, and the Maida

Vale Mystery, there has been moro in the newspapers during the last fortnight than for months pa.t. In military circle;; all is excitement and expectation. Oilers of "special service" from distinguished officers are numerous, but as yet only a lew have been accepted The London daily papers have made elaborate preparations for chronicling tho progress of the expedition. Youn. Frank Scudamoro, who did so well ?n tho Soudan, is going out, or has gone out, for the "Times;" Mr Cameron represents the " Standard, and active little Burleigh tho " Daily Telegraph. It was hoped that Mr O'Kelly, M.P., would remain at Assouan or Dongola, or wherever he is, nnd join tho expedition en route for tho " Doily News ;" but his unfortunate politics (ho is ono of Parncll's most ardent lieutenants) made him so unpopular with English officers that ho has had to shako o fl* the dust of tho Soudan from his shoes ond return home. This is a great pity, for though O'Kelly's polities are abominable, ho stands without rival (is a newspapor cor respondent. Archibald Forbes will not go to Egypt. His health has broken up sadly of late; indeod, ho soems but tho shadow of bis former brilliant self.

Should Lord Wolscloy carry through this Egyptian expedition in tho ellbctivo and complete fashion that is oxpoctcd of him, ho will—it is generally understood — be raised a step in the Peerage and become " Earl Wolseley of tho Nile." Such at any rate is tho now titlo that tho " World " has found for him.

Tho Maida Valo Horror,

London has, in nil probability, fetter genuine "mysteries" in tho course of a twelvemonth than any other great city. In New York and Paris ono constantly hears of strange, uncanny murders which are en tirely unassoeiated with plunder, and can only be ascribed to jealousy, but hero in England this last seems an incentive which is comparatively unknown. Occasionally, though, thero occur oven with us weird and terrible crimes which entirely bailie tho ellbrts of the polico ; and it is to bo feared that ono of them moro than usually atrocious in its character, and utterly bewildering from its apparent absence of motive, has just bet n brought to light. Ono morning, about ten days ago, in a piece of ornamental ground near Maida Vale, a parcel was discovered hidden amongst the shrubs. It contained the body of a girl, apparently a moro child, about eight years of ago. Thero wore no signs of violence or marks of injury, and the throe medical men by whom the post mortem examination was conducted could find no othor cause for death than starvation. Tho child had been until very recently well fed, and the body was well nourished ; but for some fow days before its death it had been kept absolutely without food. Such is tho conclusion that has been deliberately arrived at after a very careful investigation, and at present it can only be said that tho crime is, on the face of it, inexplicable. We only too often near of children being cruelly and barbarously maltreated, and even killed or half-killed outright. Such cases occur with shocking frequency in the metropolitan police courts. But hero the deceased has been designedly and in tentionally starved to death. The doctors also express their opinion that tho child belonged to people well off and in a good condition of life. And if this be so, it is hardly possible that tho body should have been hidden to avoid funeral expenses. When a child dies in a family of respectable circumstanoes —a child hitherto well fed and well looked after —its disappearance excites comment; and tho irresistible conclusion that a cold-blooded murder has boon com mitted is almost demonstrated by the fact that tho materials of the parcel, tho Etring and the wrappings, give no clue whatever to identification. The polico have discovered nothing yet, and have a very difficult task before them. The manner in which the parcel with its ghastly contents had been fastened up would seem to show that very groat strength must have been employed, and that thero were at least two if not three people at work. It is also very doubtful whether any one per son, single-handed, could have deposited the bundle where it was found. Tho public are waiting anxiously for some elucidation of the mystery, but I have not personally much belief in the police finding out any thing. During the present year no less than five specially flagrant and atrocious murders have beon committed in the metro polis, yet up to date only two of tho criminals have been discovered and brought to justice.

Death of tbe King of Roulette,

Emilo Dupressoir, who onceruled supremo over the gaming tables at Baden-Baden, was Kaiser of tho Kursaal, Roi do Roulette, and Ysur of Trente-et-Quarant, is dead. He succeeded Benazet as lessee and manager of tho world-famous "boards of green cloth" at Baden, and under his benign sway the grand-ducal capital bocamo at onco the maddest, merriest, naughtiest, and yet most delightful spot in Europe. Tho Franco- Prussian war played havoc with Baden, and after it came the fatal decree forbidding public gambling in Germany. The ad venturous M. Dupressoir then made an effort to start a casino in tho tiny republic qt Val D'Audorro, but tho Spartan virtue of that sequestered democracy wa3 proof against his blandishments. From that time nothing prospered with him. The gold garnered at the gambling tables disappeared as swiftly and mysteriously as it had come. Dupressiov was soon known as an unlucky man. At last it oc curred to him to set up a roulette table on board a large, splendidly-appointed steam yacht, constructed specially for gambling purposes. The idea was certainly a grandiose one. In addition to the " man at the wheal 'astern, there were to be men at tho roulette wheel in half-a-dozen salons. It is a pity that M. Dupressior did not make a bid for the Great Eastern. The projected gaming-ship was first to make a trip through the Mediterranean, preferentially harbouring in French, Italian, and Spanish RDrts; but giving a wide berth to Malta, Gibraltar, where public gambling is not looked upon with favour by the functionaries pf perfidious Albion. A more extended tour was then to be made to India, China and Japan, Australia, and the two Americas. " Fatten le jeu ; lejeuest fail." In imagination he saw his croupiers raking in incalculable piles of Transatlantic dollars, Cuban and Mexican doubloons, gold mohurs, rupees, lirs, ducats and drachmas. He would meet the Greek at Prteus, and then woulet come tho tug-of-war. He would steam through the sea of Marmora desport the Turk of unnumbered meajid jei, and then gaily ascending the Cimmerian Bosphorus, "clean out" tho watering places of the Crimea, and "rook" the Russians at Odesea of their last routles. " Faites le feu; le jeu est fait." M. Dupressior proposed to leasp his yacht now and again to some syndicate of gamblers, co that while he remained snug at home bis gains on the ocean might still be accumulating. " Some of my friends," ho would say, " will be ruined in America, win back in the ; Mediterranean all the money that' they have lost, and lose it again in the Indian Ocean. It will be glorious." The name of the gambling yacht was not to be the '' Pitch and Toss," which might have been an appropriate appellation in stormy weather, but the " Fortune." Fortune, however, is fickle, and the paths of glory—even such eqiiivbcal glory as is to be obtained "op the field of green cloth—iead but to the grave. M. Dupressior bad found some frienJa as enthusiastic gamblers as he was, who had subscribed about three hundred thousand francs for the Fortune adventure, but at least a million was roquired to float the schome, and it fell through. M. Dupressior was entiiled to say-although ho had not exactly arrived in port—with tho Roman poet: "Hops and Fortune, farewell. I have had enough of play; let others play now who lifct.'' " Faites le jeu ; lejeuest fait; rien lie va plw." The last game was made, and thero was nothing more to be staked. The ball rolled and rolled and rolle_—and stopped. It turned up zero, and the monarch of the roulette is dead.

FIRE NEAR WHANGAREI.

Tin. constable stationed at Kamo has roported to Mr Superintendent Thomson that a four-roomed cottage at Otonga, owned by Henry Patterson, and used as a store and post-office, was burned down about, 4 a.m. on the 1. .h inst. The occu pant (Patterson) was awakened by the crackling of wood, and found the building in names. He had no time to do any thing except to got his wife and chil dren out in thoir nightdresses. Iho wind was bloving a strong gale at tho time, and within an hour tho house and contents were destroyed. Patterson was not in sured, and he estimates his loss at about £100. Tho origin of tho tire is not known, but it is supposed to have been purely acci dental.

GREAT FLOOD IN CHINA.

Wholo Towns Swept Away and 70,000

Lives Believed to Have Been Lost.

San Francisco, September 15.—The steamer San Pablo arrived here last even ing, bringing advices from Hong Kong to August 14. Information had reached Canton of a frightful inundation in tho province of Kiangsee. Tho news is dated at King- Tak, the chief centre of the pottery manufacture, and one of the four great markets of tho empire. The floods lasted four days, and tho entire country was submorged to the depth of sixty feet. Wholo towns were swept away. It is believed that fully 70,000 porsons perished. It was feared that a postilenco would fol low.
