GENERAL SUMMARY.

[ErmorKAN Dates up to November 22.]

The Prince of Wales entertained Edward .T. Stanley and Jesso Callings, members of Parliament, and other advanced radicals at his palace at Sandringham, on the 21st.

Distress among the English shipbuilding workmen is increasing. At tho ship-yards on the Tyne, Clyde and Mersey, thoro is ■Bcarceiy one-fourth tho possible working iforce and power now in effective operation. Miss Fortescue, the actress, who obtained a verdict of £10,000 damages against Lord iGarmoyle, son of Earl Cairns,-has tern jporarily retired from the stage. A severe shock of earthquake, accom panied with a terrific explosive report, oc curred on tho night of November 14th at Clittieroa, Lancashire, about twenty-five cnilejJ from Manchester. Tho shock throw down Uorses in the streets, and caused great consternation and excitement among the inhabitants.

A troopship vith 2,000 marines, was ordered to' proceed, fin November 10th, from Portsmouth to the I«lc of. Skyo, to Assist the police In restoring order among fchl? crofters. Thero is no abatement of the excited feeling in Skye. Crofters (rom tfoj neighbouring islands are flacking thero to O-gjst their brethren in maintaining their claims. Fully 2/100 crofters met a de tachment of police on their arrival, Nov. 11, and conducted then: to Uig: thoro they demaded tho object of their nomintr no satisfactory answer being given, the (slanders conducted them back to tho land ing-place, and requested them to leave their shores. A dispatch of the ICth cays nows had foeej* received that tho crofters have resolved to submit unconditionally On the events .of iius week ending the 22nd Jfovomber wna the debate in tho House of (Cpinmoos on this subject. Sir William llar iooart, in behalf of the Crofters, denounced froth emigration and eviction, and bo pcnoral «rsg tho feoling in their favour thattho '(Corjes epoke with moderation. Seveial Conser- ; vativ* Jsndlords bavo agreed to wtay their, demands, s.nd a resolution asking prompt jegislatios for tho crofters was carried (Unanimously. Thejeading fansers, at tho Himo time, bavo eallen for a wholesale reduction of cents.

'jPhe " United Ireland " of Noveiftfepr 21st states that it ia the intention of tho Nation alists to impeach Earl Spencer, Lord Liou •teasnt of Ireland, for conspiring to murder, Jjt say,l) the Irish party is determined to force inquiry into Earl Spencer's nets. At .ft demonstration of workmen and socialists in Paris, -on Nov. 23, Bovoral Advocated tho robbery and massacre of the rich. Two of tho Breakers who advocated jnoderation were kicked into tho street. Shopkeepers in tho vicinity of the meet ing closed their places, fearing violonee *ud pillage. Tho police were unable to disperse the assemblage, and wero obliged to *&J1 the military. Tho troops then took flossesejsm of tho streets: Bismofck is so terribly incensed against the Niedenwald conspirators that ho will $pya 4JO quarter. Evidence shows that the .explosion isas not directed aeainst the monament at all, but was intended to ikill the Emperor, Crown Prince, Chancellor, and other august personages. The Egyptian Cavalry repulsed an attack irf ike rebels on Suakim on the night of the iitb, pursuing tho enemy with great daughter. ■ A despatch from Cairo, November 15th, cays a Jet tor from General Gordon had been received by Wbjaeley, dated November 4th. 3>nis letter states that the steamer which b«re Colonels Stewart and Power, llobiw, the French Consul, and some. Greeks left Khartum on September 10th, and that Messrs Sansel and Leonides are safe at Khartoum. The latest letter received from General Gordon says:—" My posi tion is very tfeeure. The troops ore in excellent health." The General adds, " The Mahdi regularly re £eives copies of European newspapers, by which ho learns oi the movement of the British troops. 14 General Gordon warns the French ConsuKGenewl that Mahdi pos sesses the cipher code of AT. Herbin, killed with General Stewart, and may make use .ofjt. A despatch from Cairo, Nov. 21, says:; Tho man who arrived here yesterday even-; ing from Khartoum, says that the Mahdi's; position i 3 eighteen hours' march from; Khartoum. Disease ia making greatj ravagea among his followers, fully TOO dying daily. Sheik Morganna, with a large force, had amved at a point midway be tween Kassala and Berber to lend assistance to General Gordon, A cablegram, November 23, states that Lord Northbrook's report and the stories of tb,e Nile .expedition aro droll reading. At Dongola the British soldiers and officers are in a had way for want of arms and .occupation, and fo.r the want of glasses to drink out of j and yet still moro, for Itfae want of something to Irink. All the w.bisky and wipo wag disposed; of a couple of weeks ago, and the PBly heverage left is a villainous native '• compound made from dates, as dangerous and jmflammabl.e' as benzine and native, beef", which is like stale porter; A despatch from Dongola, Nov. 23, says the Khartoum- expedition is advancing ranidlyj thongh many boats have been: injured. Michael H, Pc Young, surviving partner jn the' business, of the San Francisco (Chronicle, was shot and seriously wounded, in his ogiee on the ey.ening of November 19, Jjy Adolph Spreckels. son of Claus Spreckels th.c Sandwich Islands sugar millionaire. Dr Young was shyfc on precisely the same spot jyhere his brother Charles was killed by young Kallock a few years ago. ITwo balls i^ero lodged' ,in his left shoulder, and It is feared: the wounds will prove fatal. Tfo cau^o was .that the '.' Chronicle " had charged Claus,Spreckles, father, of Adplph, with swindling stockholders in the jiawoiian Commercial, Company out of a million dollars." Spreckles, in turn, was shot in the fleshy part of the arm bya clerk jn the office. In the Presidental election^, Cleveland secured 219 electoral v6toß against Elaine's }S2. TJie hitpli wfls_ in Wow York, which costs thirty-six votes in the Electoral College, and the Republicans w.ero kept between hope and fear for nearly a, fortnight, while a oareful can vass of the States' vote' was being made. At la'stjit was decided on the 15th, that Mr Cleveland's plurality in NeivYork was l; 147, ahd the Republicans struck their COloUrs.- '■;■*; i;-',-;: '

The pretence 'of the Australians, 'says the " Gfazette," to humanity, has do basis in fact, and Germany is bound to insist upon the immediate annexation of the unclaimed islands in New Guinea.'if only for the pur pofltf of.jjroteoting the natives from English barbarities. . ■ .:' '■-.. ■ . ; v.
