but such a state of anarchy and war Is apparently a certainty unless Yskoob Khan is rendered strong enough to crush out promptly whatever attempte may be made to disturb bis power.* It is possible that a small force m«y eventually be placed at tbe Ameer\u2019s disposition.The presence of Ayoob, a younger brother of Yakoob Khan, at Herat, may have Induced tbe latter to come to terms.Ayoob -has passed the last seven years as an exile in Persian, having resided either with the Shah or the Prince Governor of Knorssao, and tbe presence of a Persian army on tbe borders of Argbanlstan gi.es color to tbe assumption that be entered Herat with Persian support Very naturally the English papers charge Bussia with instigating this move, and strong ly sail for an explanation from tbe Shah.\u2014 N.T.Herald.Yrfsrd Duflerm\u2019* tvaecess »t Peterfebauic.The New 'York World says :\u2014Lord Duf-farin has made a first diplomatic success at 8t.Petersburg.Turkey having protested to the great powers against tbe Boreian project for a mixed occupation of Eastern Boumelia, Lord Duffeiin took the protest into his own hands and urged the Boreian Government to accept a project drawn up by England.This tbe Bossian Government has done, and the 009 arrangement having been formally made at St.Petersburg between tbe English Ambassador and the Bossian Government will bè eoamnoicated to the Turkish Government by the English and Bussian representatives at Constantinople.It covers the following ptfatn.The powers of the International Commission on Eastern Boumelia\u2014one of Lord Beacon\u2018field's\tmeasure* sc- at Berlin\u2014are prolonged for another year Aleko Pasha is made Governor-General of that province.Tbe Bossian evacuation of Eastern Boumelia shall be faithfully completed between the 3rd of May and tbe 3rd of August.' That being done, the Turk-jab forces shall occupy Bourgss, and if England think* it necessary a Turkish corps may be also oaotonned along tbe southern front tier of Eastern Boumelia, and with the con-sent of the International Commission the Turkish Governor-General may call troops Into tbe province before tbe expiration oi tbe year originslly fixed to elapse before taat right should be conceded.The Porte on its side Shall agree not to garrison tbe Balkans for another year.On all tbe essential points covered by this arrangement it is announced that England and Bussia have come to a full and friendly understanding, and that this will icon be made manifest Doth In Eastern Boumelia and ar Constantinople.Of coarse the Nihilists and the pistol of ScloVleff bave had much to do with disposing tbe Bussian Government to lend a listening tar to tbe British Ambassador in this important matter.But an ambassador who should bave allowed ^be Bussian Government to perceive that be ^rna aware of this fact would assuredly have made A mess of bis negotiations.It is to bis own tsoi clearly and bis own skill in gelling the most influence with tbe least pressure ont of the actual situation in Bosnia that tbe new British representative in Bossla is indebted for these brilliant and salisfaetoty .grji finits of his adventure into a new an i most trying field of public duty.Fftrt-Boxe* YersuisCouducior* CiTMLA»».Ohio., April 27.\u2014JL'be West Side Street Bailroad, of this city, made some exneriments of interest to the public in re-sard to iaw-boxse recently.The following fs what the President oi tbe road says about t.uWe are now running cars on the Godwyn Bead, Detroit-street branch, and on Monday two ding breakfast, of conductor» were temporarily laid off, and two box cars run.The difference In the returns were something astonishing.It was reasonable to expect that people would pat-xooisti the care with conductors rather than the box cars.Tbe two latter als) were much -mailer in tiæ, ai d, therefore, not capable of -mrrrtna so many passengers.Well, tlye two box cars return in for tbeir day\u2019s trips each about S3 more than the care with conductors.On Thursday we discharged all the con-dLctor# on (he route, and sent out five box The retains compared with tbe days ^hea we bad conductors aversge $13 more ZmQ om similar days ef the year.We have mooing our road at a steady Ices, JSh perbape can now be accounted for Fashionable \u2019farrlajte In Ikover.At St.Mary\u2019s within-tbe-Castle, on Thursday morning, was solemnised, in the presence of a large congregation, and under the most favorable circumutancea, tbe marriage of the Bev.G.H Bollock with Mbs Weather-all, the bridegroom being chaplain to Her Majesty\u2019s forces at Aldershot, and the bride is tbe eldest daughter of the Bev.O.H.Wtatherall, the chaplain to Her Majesty\u2019s forces *t Dover.In so far as the weather contributed to the auspicious issue of the happy occasion, It was all that could be desired, the morning being fair, with a kindly sun and soft breeaes, and the large attendit.J ance of acquaintances of the bride at the cbnrcb to witness the ceremony, manifested the great interest taken In tbe bride and the eeteem in wnioh the is universally held amongst her numerous friends.The officiating minister was tbe ObapIain-General in the forces, Bishop Clau«hton, who was assisted by the brother of the bridegroom, tbe Bev.T Bollock.The wedding, which was a choral one, was fixed to take place at balf-past eleven, but before eleven o\u2019clock tbe church was filled.Shortly eiter eleven.Mr.B.O.Jdrwt, who wad speblaHy\u2019 engaged for the oc casiou, commenced playing Mendelssohn\u2019s \u201cMarch of the Priests.\u201d This was followed by \"No.4 Lied oboe Worte,\u201d by tbe same composer, Mostrt\u2019s \"Gloria in Bxcelsis,\u201d nod Scoison\u2019s \"Melody In A.\"\u2018*At twenty ndin ales past eleven, the Castle choir, surpliced consisting of some 80 adolt and 16 chil dreo\u2019s voices, \u2022 under the conduotorsbip Mr.Major, entered the church, singing in splendid unison and style, \"Tbe voice that Oreatfhed tfer Bfoq,\u201d the Boyal Artillery Band, under the baton of Trumpet-Ma;or Oliver, at the same lime playing the same air on the bailium outside As the concluding stave was being song, the bride, on the arm of her father, entered the church She was attired in a rich, white silk drees enprinctite, with puffings of satin down the front, draped with tulle, a wreath of orange blossoms, and Hites suspended from the waist and falling en the train, a wreath of I the same fios ets on her head and a tulle veil Immediately behind followed the brides maiJs, Miss Biley, Miss Ethel Weatberall sister ol the bride, and Miss Weather»» 11 an Miss Mary Weaiberall.cousins of the brid-.1 hey were attired in French grey cashmere, trimmed wifi satin oi tfo;

Mb.Editob,\u2014As it has been stated in Coort during the trial of P.Goyette lor forgery, that I had taken an boor and a quarter to examine tbe documents and letters placed in my hands, and in comparing the dlfierent writings of the accused, and that the resalt of this examination had been negative and contradictory to my original testimony, I wish here to state that this assertion is altogether gratoitous and not in bearing with ihe facta, for it is quite easy for me to prove that 1 did not spend ten minutes in this examination, owing to my official dattes daring tbe adjournment of tbe Court, between one and two o\u2019clock in tbe afternoon.In tbe abort space of time, I discovered to my great surprise, that the handwriting of the accused, in his private letters to the lawyer, differed from that In which he wrote out his accounts and official reports\u2014the writing of which was not even uniform,\u2014 and that he changed his band at will, though atilt retaining a alight resemblance in the general appearance of his writing.This discovery necessarily changed my mode oi thinking and forced me to admit ihat, not only the word emq in the body of the forged cheque, but also tbe word cents which figures therein, bore some resemblance to one of tbe several styles of writing of the accused who would seem to have practiced for some time past the d fficult task of universal calligraphy.The verdict of guilt wbicb has just been rendered against Goyette, ia tbe best justifi-cation of the sincerity and correctness of my testimony daring that trial.\"^The duplicity of the accused rendered my task tbe more difficult, and, without pretending to be an expert in penmanship, I believe that many versed In this art would have been puaaled in this particular case.Belying on yonr spirit of fair-pity to publish the above, I am, Mr.Editor, Yours truly, E.MoasAD.Quebec, May 10th, 1879.FOR CALIFORNIA., Japan, China, Sandwich Islands, Maw Zealand, Australia, British Columbia, Northern and Southern California and Axtxoua-Steamers sail ftom New York on the 20th and SOthof e«eh month, carrying passengers and freight for San Francisco.Through Bmigrant Tickets to New Zealand and Auttralia sold at greatly re meed Kates.4 Irculars giving full Information re gara Ing tje climate, soli- and prodnota of these two countries and the prospects for settler, free | steamers of the Lin* every fortnight, on application.\t1 For passage or Information In regard to roalss apply to the Company\u2019s Passenger Department, 267.BROADWAY, NEW YORK.February 22, 1879.\tFm Steam for London.LOMiNIQfS LISE Of Steamships TEMPERLEY LIRE.THE 8.8.\u201cBOOTH TYNE,\u201d CAPTAIN Harvey, is intended to be despatched item Quebec on or about SATURDA Y, lOtli MAY, This Steamer will be followed by other Running In conneetioc with the Or and Trank Railway ol Canada.ism OZTY Xs, \u2022 \u2022\tQUEBEC, May 7tb, 1879.POBLIO NOTICE 18 HEREBY GIVEN, that Proprietors and O.cupants are r -qulred, preparatory to tbe visit of tbeir Excellencies, to repair sidewalks wherever defective, and requested to lay down new sidewalks where r.qnired, at their own expense, as has already baen done during the present and Let year, by many persons ; the inteuttou being to have a law snooted, daring the earning seesicn of the Legislature, making it obligatory for proprletcra to supply material for and make sidewalks at tbeir own expe so, as the city revenues will not allow wf the Corporation, at heretofore, taking any share In tha work.O.BAILLAIRGE, City Engl.eer.May 9, 1879.\tT iiHE CORPORATION OF THE OITY OF QCEBEO will apply to the Qn bse Legislature, at Us next Session for Amendments to tbe City Chsrter, with a v\u2019ew of Increasing Its revenus aud for other purposes.L.A.CANNON, Citt Hall,\t\u2019 OUr Clerk.Quebec, 6tb May, 1879.May 7,1819.\tLbo Sale ot Fire iLUgg-lnew.CITY HALL, Quebec, May 6tfa, 1879.PUBLIC NOTICE 18 HEREBY GIVEN, that Five Fire Engines and one Small Engine, and other ai tides no longer required by the Fire Department, will be pul up to public competition and sold to the highest bidder by auction, on tbe 20lb May instant, at 2 o\u2019clock P.M., at Fire station Na 1, 81.Ureal* Street.By order, L.A.CANNON, Oily Clerk.May 6, 1879.For freight or passage, apply to David shaw, Montreal.Or, to BOSS A 03., Commercial Chambers, 92, Peter Street, Quebec.May », 1879.list iff\t4 5 Delaware and Hudson Canal Co1; RAILROAD» \u2014TO- Saratoga, Troy, Albany, Boston, New York, Philadelphia,!
